The goal of this assessment was to identify relevant binational expertise and assets valuable to coastal resilience efforts, and gather input on science needs and priorities, in order to inform the development of a binational research agenda and outreach framework.

The goal was to bring together binational community members and partners to promote knowledge sharing and networking in the field of coastal and climate resilience from both sides of the US-Mexico
border.

The purpose of this document is to outline a strategic vision for enhancing coastal resilience in the San Diego-Baja California Region through binational collaboration. It draws from a needs assessment led by California Sea Grant and the Climate Science Alliance. This vision document identifies key opportunities and actionable strategies that integrate scientific research, traditional knowledge, and innovative practices to support resilient coastal communities and ecosystems. By fostering cross-border partnerships, expanding research capabilities, and engaging diverse stakeholders, this document aims to guide efforts towards a more resilient future for our shared coastline.

The Binational Working Group’s breakout project “Ecological Network for Shorebirds in the San Diego - San Quintín Corridor” is led alongside Instituto de Planeación Ambiental y Calidad de Vida A.C. (INPACVI).

This project's objective is to analyze the distribution and diversity of lichens in general, and the use of some representative species and indicators, already used in California and other parts of the world.

The Binational Working Group funds will kick-start an integrative, efficient, long-term, and sustainable restoration effort by organizing meetings, workshops, and diving trips with local fishers and scuba diving clubs.

This interpretative hiking trail seeks to awaken the curiosity of hikers about the biodiversity and ancestral culture of the Cucapá community for the development of positive values of the relationships between society and nature.

This professional development grant will be used by Sarina Vega, a landscape architecture Master’s student, to attend a 9-day in-field research workshop, Transborder Landscapes.

This project will install two Chronologs® in Bahía de San Quintín (BSQ). Chronologs are a monitoring tool that have a fixed frame where visitors to a natural area can place their cell phones on the frame and take a photo.

This project revolves around the graphic design of a children's story that tells the story of a lizard of spotted sides, in search of its identity.
