Concerned about the Tijuana sewage crisis and beach closures in Coronado?
The United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission is inviting the public to a meeting regarding the health crisis at the Coronado Community Center on July 12.
The two-hour meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. in the Triton Room at 1845 Strand Way.
The meeting will include a presentation from Morgan Rogers, the area operations manager who oversees the international wastewater treatment plant on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Oscar Romo, executive director of binational conservation group Alter Terra, will discuss proposed trash booms across the Tijuana River, and community members will have time to comment.
The Coronado News earlier this year wrote a five-part investigative series that examined the myriad number of broken promises by U.S. and Mexican officials since the Great Depression over fixing Tijuana’s sewage problem that has resulted in a polluted Pacific Ocean and beach closures.
The newspaper also found how the crisis has sickened residents, beachgoers, U.S. Border Patrol agents and Navy SEALS.
