The Gulf of Mexico is a shared resource at risk. It is facing many problems such
as exponential population growth, degrading water quality, consequences of oil and gas
activities, unsustainable exploitation of resources, and lack of public education and
political interest. In response, Mexico and the United States have devised their own set of
programs and strategies to best manage their coastal zones. There have been a few
official coastal management efforts between the U.S. Gulf states and Mexico. However,
the existence of these collaborative programs does not supplant the need for a binational,
integrated coastal management effort. Texas and Tamaulipas have participated in these
cooperation programs, but direct coastal collaboration between the two states has been
limited. Although there is an obvious disparity between the two regarding CZM practices,
both states face similar challenges that require a cooperative effort and combined resources. This report explores different alternatives for binational cooperation between
Texas and Tamaulipas at the regional level, in the context of the existing CZM
frameworks and strategies of each state. / text
