Join us for a Coffee Break session on August 17, 2022, from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. (CT) hosted by the Permanent Forum of Binational Waters, where we’ll discuss the critical role of environmental flows in shared river systems and their binational implications across the U.S.–Mexico border.
Maintaining natural flow regimes is essential to protect ecosystems, bird migration corridors, and freshwater biodiversity. This session explores how environmental flows are monitored, negotiated, and restored in transboundary watersheds.
Speakers:
-
Stephanie Paladino, MoreLek Research, University of Georgia
-
Jack Schmidt, Professor, Utah State University
-
Aimee Robinson, American Bird Conservancy
-
Oscar Leal, Pronatura Noreste, A.C.
Moderators:
-
Rosario Sánchez, TWRI
-
Samuel Sandoval Solís, UC Davis
Together, these experts will present case studies, lessons learned, and collaborative strategies for implementing environmental flow policies on both sides of the border.
Let’s work together to support resilient, flowing rivers and binational ecological health.
