The Tijuana River is one of America’s most endangered rivers because of pollution, according to the American Rivers 2024 report.
This week the nonprofit EcoFlight gave a group of advocates, nonprofit leaders and government representatives a bird’s-eye view of the area to better understand the causes of the pollution.
Ramon Chairez, with the nonprofit Un Mar de Colores, grew up in South San Diego County near the border. He helped organize the flight.
