“Los Laureles Canyon: Research in Action”
There may be a border dividing us, but when it comes to the
environmental challenges facing Los Laureles, a canyon that crosses the
U.S.-Mexico border and spills into the sensitive wetlands of
California’s Tijuana Estuary, we all must deal with the consequences.
That’s why researchers from both countries have come together to try to
affect change in a place that 65,000 people call home.
UCSD-TV Producer Shannon Bradley, in collaboration with Keith Pezzoli of
UCSD’s Urban Studies and Planning program, visited the region and met
with researchers on both sides of the border who are seeking ways to
repair the area’s failing infrastructure and stop its waste from flowing
down into the estuary, threatening the wildlife that depend on its
pristine wetlands for survival. This inspiring story is told in a new
UCSD-TV documentary premiering this month.
