Border Environmental Program Background
The Department is also an active participant in the California - Baja California Border Environmental Program, which is overseen by the California Environmental Protection Agency and has the mission of working toward a better environment within our shared border by identifying and resolving unique environmental and natural resources challenges and the resulting public health issues. The program seeks to coordinate the efforts of multiple California agencies with the unique environmental and natural resources challenges of the Border Region and to enhance the level of state-to-state cooperation between California and the Mexican State of Baja California. Fundamental to the program is the use of science and technology, uniform enforcement of environmental laws and regulations, and the cooperation and active participation of the various California Border Indian tribal nations, academia, industry, nongovernmental organizations, and the public. The Department is a partner in the program in the areas of program development, natural resources, ecosystem health, and information technology. Border Region Status Papers |
