For decades, the Tijuana River has suffered from severe pollution originating in Mexico, contaminating beaches near the U.S.-Mexico border with untreated sewage.
American Rivers recently ranked it the nation's second most endangered river, highlighting the urgent need for improved wastewater treatment.
Environmental groups strongly advocate for increased U.S. funding to repair the failing wastewater treatment plant north of the border.
This critical situation demands immediate action, including cooperation between both countries to address this ongoing public health emergency.
