The two communities divided by the U.S.-Mexico border have long been connected by the same environmental crisis plaguing their shared Pacific Ocean
Over spring break, residents of Tijuana and Imperial Beach flocked to the beach under sunny skies — two cities, just miles apart, same ocean. North of the U.S.-Mexico border, joggers pounded along the Imperial Beach shoreline — but kept their shoes on. Onlookers watched the San Diego and Tijuana skylines from the 60-year-old wooden pier. And a few people, scattered like freckles on a sun-kissed face, sat several feet away from the wettest sand to watch the waves.
High-schoolers have rallied in their South Bay neighborhoods and penned letters to the federal government for change. Researchers have dedicated years to unveiling the severity and effects of contamination. The crisis has inspired a documentary and photography exhibit. And multiple public agencies have adopted resolutions declaring the issue an emergency.
