<p>There’s a crisis unfolding at the U.S.-Mexico border that’s polluting beaches, harming marine life, and putting communities at risk…and it’s been happening for decades. In this episode, we chat with Patrick McDonough, an attorney from San Diego Coastkeeper, to break down the transboundary pollution crisis in Tijuana and Imperial Beach.</p><p><br></p><p>Millions of gallons of untreated sewage and toxic runoff are flowing from Tijuana into Southern California’s waterways, closing beaches, threatening public health, and devastating ecosystems. It’s a massive, complicated issue, but we’re unpacking it in a way that makes sense so you can walk away with a clear understanding of what’s going on, why it matters, and what’s being done to fix it.</p><p><br></p><p>We also dive into how Coastkeeper and other organizations are fighting back through litigation, pushing governing bodies to take real action and be held accountable. If you care about clean water, healthy oceans, and the communities that depend on them, this is an issue you need to know about.</p><p><br></p><p>🌊 Connect with San Diego Coastkeeper: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sd_coastkeeper/"><u>@sd_coastkeeper</u></a></p>
