One Coastal Community is a collaborative initiative dedicated to promoting the expansion of resilience capacities of both natural and social-urban coastal systems, seeking to strengthen ecosystem sustainability, research, and community-driven actions. Our stakeholder network includes leading researchers, nonprofit organizations, and funding partners, interested in reducing vulnerability to climate change.
The study covers 102.4 km², with 59.3 km² in Mexico and 43 km² in the United States.
United States: Includes the coastal cities of Coronado and Imperial Beach, connected by the Silver Strand sandy bar.
Mexico: Covers 24 km of coastline in Tijuana and Playas de Rosarito.
Population: 137,770 people (85,746 in Mexico, 52,024 in the U.S.).
Climate: Arid and temperate, with annual temperatures ranging from 12-18°C and precipitation between 206-262 mm.
Geomorphology: Mixed composition of sedimentary, volcanic, igneous rocks, and loose sands.
Hydrology: Influenced by San Diego Bay watershed, Otay Hydrological Unit, and Northwest Baja California region.
