Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve is a natural reserve encompassing the Tijuana River Estuary, located on the Mexico – United States border, in Imperial Beach, California.

SACRAMENTO--The California Integrated Waste Management Board awarded $250,000 in grants to expedite the installation and establishment of a trash capture and removal system in the Tijuana River Valley and Goat Canyon Estuary on the California-Mexico border, 15 miles south of San Diego, before the arrival of winter rains.
The affected area is in Border Field State Park and is located entirely within the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve, an important wildlife habitat managed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation.
The tires and trash flowing from Mexico pose an environmental threat to the Tijuana River Valley, the estuary, and one of the few remaining tidal wetlands in Southern California, said Board Chair Margo Reid Brown. This cleanup grant, and our partnership with California State Parks, will help protect the pristine beauty of this environmentally sensitive area.
Tijuana Estuary: A Peek at Southern California's Coastal Past
Visit the Tijuana Estuary and, whether you know it or not, you're experiencing what it may have been like to stand on the beach in Southern California hundreds of years ago. This spot, where the Tijuana River meets the Pacific Ocean, is the largest and best example of the natural landscape that once was between Santa Barbara and some two hundred miles south of the border to San Quintín. Human development for cities meant paving over hundreds of miles of coast was wetlands.
And such an abundance of fresh water made the region a major stopover for the migrating birds using the Pacific Flyover, as well home to native species. As seen in this video, its especially critical to the native light-footed Ridgway's rail, a bird species once abundant in SoCal's wetlands, but almost went extinct over thirty years ago.
Casually referred to as the Tijuana Estuary -- Tijuana, named after the river that flows from Mexico to California into the ocean, and estuary, where salty ocean water and fresh river water mingle, creating a unique habitat -- the land makes up a somewhat complex map of different entities.
Being an excellent and last large example of the region's wetlands, the federal government in 1982 designated the estuary as the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve. As long-winded as that sounds, the designation from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration didn't mean there was suddenly new land to manage. It instead forged a partnership between the federal government and state.
The estuary was already within Border Field State Park, Tijuana Slough National Wildlife Refuge, and a small part of San Diego County's Tijuana River Valley Regional Park, so drawing a line around and including them in the National Estuarine Research Reserve System meant setting up a structure to fund the state to conduct research and education.
The latter part is important, not only because it's good to educate visitors, but for introducing coastal training programs tailored for decision makers like local planners and politicians. That way, when it comes time to approve, deny, or modify development plans along the coast, they're more prepared to make an informed decision than before.
Tijuana River Estuary helps conserve wildlife in San Diego
Sarah Kennedy reports on how the Tijuana River Estuary continues to be vital to the conservation effort in San Diego. Both researchers and volunteers talk about how this estuary provides a place to rest and feed to migrating birds and other wildlife.

Saving the Tijuana Estuary
The estuary stands as the last barrier between the Pacific Ocean and pollution. Its mix of plants and silt acts as a filter that purifies inland rain and flood waters before they reach the ocean. The beaches of Imperial Beach are closed about 180 days every year. Without the estuary, they would be closed year round.

San Diego Border Field State Park Hike
This unique and quirky California State Park is located at the southern coastal edge of San Diego, where the beach meets the border fence with Mexico. In this video, I hike from the entry gate at Monument Road, to the beach, and then along the beach to the border fence and border monument.
The Border Field State Park is a part of San Diego that very people see. It's a most bizarre area that is characterized by farms, horse ranches, and the border patrol. On the United States side of the border, there's really not much. However, Mexico is built right up to the border fence. The beach on the United States side is empty, and there are often signs that warn of contaminated water. On the Mexico side, the beach is always filled with people, having fun, laughing, swimming, etc. In addition to hiking to the monument, this park is also popular with bird watchers and horse riders because it is a part of the Tijuana River Estuarine Research Reserve.
Visiting the park can be a somewhat unwelcoming, but rewarding experience. Don't let the lack of a grand entry/welcome deter you. I think most people get to the locked entry gate and just turn away. Armed with the information here, and in this video you'll be able to make it to the monument and see a side of San Diego that most people never get to see.
Detecting a Changing Climate at Tijuana Estuary PORTS Program
Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve (TRNERR), located in Imperial Beach, California, is a state and federal partnership between California State Parks and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The Reserve has over 15 years of weather and water quality data that is available for researchers and educators alike. This program will introduce your students to this data and how it fits into the NERRS Sentinel Site program. The Sentinel Site program’s goal to increase awareness of the effects of sea level rise and identify appropriate steps for communities to take in order to minimize its impact. Students will explore real-time air temperature, water level and temperature, and conduct salt marsh vegetation monitoring.
To book this program, click here:
Learning objectives:
Learn about the difference between weather and climate through exposure to real-time TRNERR temperature data.
Explore the causes of sea level rise, especially heat expansion through TRNERR water level and temperature date.
Students will learn about the importance of salt marsh vegetation sampling in determine salt marsh resilience to a rising sea by practicing a plant species’ percent cover methodology.
???? During this program, please be prepared to use a computer or other device to access the National Estuarine Research Reserve System Real-time Weather and Water Quality Data Mobile Site
???? The stations that will need to be selected are TJRTLMET for weather data and TJROSWQ for water quality. Students will be providing the data to the presenter, and discussing what that data is used for.
???? Please allow at least 2-3 weeks advance notice to book this program

Cross-border pollution has been an issue for residents of Imperial Beach for several years, worsening with the expansion of the city of Tijuana and the poor sewer infrastructure in place. Sedimentation basins and trash booms have been set up in Goat Canyon, in Border Field State Park, and they cost $1.8 million dollars annually to be maintained and cleaned. Education Coordinator for the Tijuana River National Estuary and Research Reserve, how these basins work and says cross-border pollution is a “$400 million-dollar problem.”
