Allies Driving Transboundary Movement of Data
Partners and collaborators advancing coastal resilience and water quality monitoring through science, education, and binational cooperation.
They guide the analysis and interpretation of information, as well as the generation and transboundary movement of data to support science-based public action strategies.
Advancing Transboundary Movement
One Coast, One Community
One Coast, One Community exemplifies transboundary movement by connecting experts, students, and communities across the U.S.–Mexico border.
Through shared data, joint research, and binational education, the initiative promotes science-based coastal resilience.
This collaboration ensures that environmental solutions reflect both regional priorities and cross-border realities, uniting knowledge with action.
