Border EcoWeb
http://www.borderecoweb.sdsu.edu
This ambitious webpage is being developed by the Institute for Regional Studies, SDSU (in collaboration with the EPA and other partners). Its purpose is to facilitate public access to environmental information for the U.S.-Mexican border region. As it develops, the site's INVENTORY will consist of environmental information, metadata (data about data), databases (data, data sets), projects, program activities, grants information, and other useful border-related information. The site's DIRECTORY contains contact information and project descriptions for government agencies and other groups involved in activities dealing with the border environment. The site can be searched for information by geographical location, media, or other key words.

BorderBase
http://www.borderbase.org/
BorderBase is a bilingual directory of organizations, agencies and institutions that conduct work along the California-Baja California border. The BorderBase project seeks to promote cross border collaboration and understanding by providing a simple networking and information tool for local border communities. The BorderBase directory provides contact information, project descriptions and links to government agencies, non-profit organizations, academic institutions, and other groups that are involved in activities related to the California-Baja California border region. Keep in mind that the BorderBase is a dynamic database and is not yet complete. We urge organizations involved in border-related activities to add their information to make this an efficient and complete information tool for the community. We also hope that you will encourage others to visit this site and add their organization's information.

Southwest Center for Environmental Research and Policy (SCERP)
SCERP is a consortium of five U.S. and five Mexican universities which serves U.S.-Mexican border residents by applying research information, insights, and innovations to environmental challenges in the region. SCERP was created in 1989 to initiate a comprehensive analysis of possible solutions to acute air, water, and hazardous waste problems that plague the United States-Mexican border region.
