Transboundary Waters Initiative Drawing from the interdisciplinary resources in the Center for Latin American Studies, and the Center for Governmental Responsibility's Mesoamerican Environmental Law Program, the Clinic can provide technical assistance to governmental and non-governmental organizations seeking to establish the appropriate instruments and institutions for the management of shared resources. In a Spring 1999 project, the Conservation Clinic supported the Transboundary Waters Initiative at the College of Law's Center for Governmental Responsibility. The Clinic provided background legal and policy research for a roundtable discussion of the shared Rio Sixaola watershed between Costa Rica and Panama. The results of this research were presented to a group of stakeholders and policymakers from the two countries at the Interamerican Water Management Dialog in Panama City, Panama. The Dialog is a continuing effort of the Organization of American States to stimulate discussion of water policy and administration in the Americas. The Clinic's report, The Talamanca-Sixaola Watershed: Tightening the Ties of Cooperation, discusses the watershed's history, ecological and cultural significance, and past and present management regimes within the context of the law of international rivers.
