Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve

Description:

The Tijuana River Reserve, located in the County of San Diego is adjacent to the U.S. - Mexico border in a highly urbanized environment.

The reserve encompasses 2,500 acres of beach, dune, mudflat, saltmarsh, riparian, coastal sage and upland habitats surrounded by the growing cities of Tijuana, Imperial Beach and San Diego. Three quarters of the reserve?s watershed is in Mexico and the management, education and research issues necessarily involve an international perspective. Critical issues confronted by the reserve include habitat restoration, endangered species management, management of wastewater from Mexico, sediment management, and the integration of recreation and habitat conservation and restoration.

Directions:

The reserve is located near Imperial Beach, in San Diego County, on the Mexican boarder.
