Water and Ecosystems in the Tijuana-San Diego Region

Description

Water and ecosystems are deeply interconnected, and their deterioration has reached critical levels both globally and locally.

The environmental and water crisis we face today threatens not only biodiversity but also public health and community well-being.

Urgent action is needed—not only from technical experts and regulatory bodies, but also from every member of society who shares responsibility in protecting our natural resources.

This free course is designed to offer a clear and practical introduction to the challenges and solutions related to water quality and pollution.

As part of the One Community, One Coast initiative, it supports cross-border collaboration to confront the environmental challenges impacting our shared coastal region.

Participants will explore how pollution travels through watersheds and affects both freshwater and marine systems, particularly in the context of the Tijuana River basin.

The course consists of three free modules, each carefully structured to guide you through essential concepts. From identifying sources of pollution to understanding their environmental and health impacts, each module builds your knowledge step by step.

You’ll also gain practical insight into monitoring methods and remediation techniques used to protect regional water quality.

Through detailed lessons and real-world examples, you’ll gain insight into the main sources of contamination, their pathways to coastal ecosystems, and the consequences for both ecological and human health.

The course also covers key techniques used to monitor water quality and introduces practical strategies for pollution remediation.
