The Tijuana River has become critically polluted from untreated sewage and industrial waste from Tijuana, affecting U.S. beaches and communities nearby. American Rivers has ranked it as the nation's second most endangered river, urging action to alleviate its chronic contamination issues. Activists are advocating for a federal emergency declaration to expedite funding for necessary repairs and improvements to wastewater treatment facilities, highlighting the need for greater cooperation with Mexico to address these ongoing pollution concerns.
The Tijuana River has moved from just being a pollution problem to being a public health crisis. Elevating the Tijuana River on our most endangered rivers list reflects that urgency.
What we need urgently is for the Trump administration to make a federal emergency declaration. This would free up funding to address some of the right-now problems.
