Info

Illegal settlements of workers in erodible canyons above the Tijuana River have long been a source of trash and sediment in Southern California's largest coastal estuary. New inter-agency and cross-border efforts to control erosion and collect and reduce trash are underway. Oscar Romo, watershed coordinator at the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve, is overseeing a project to construct errosion prevention infrastructure using local labor, trash such as tires and glass bottles, and native plants.
