Help protect Southern California’s most vulnerable coastal wetlands
The Tijuana Estuary is one of 30 reserves nationwide established for long-term research, education, and stewardship, and the only reserve on an international border. We need your help to continue our vital work of preserving and restoring habitats, preventing trash from becoming marine debris, advancing climate resilience and research, and educating our community about wetlands and coastlines.
