Estuario Weekly Update
Through our weekly update, we share opportunities for collaboration, volunteering, and work; through initiatives and actions programmed for the benefit of the ecosystems and communities of the San Juan Bay estuary. These activities, tips and information are for everyone’s benefit.
World Water Day
This past Tuesday, March 22, we celebrated World Water Day. This official United Nations Day has been celebrated every year since 1993. Its purpose is to highlight the importance of water as a resource and the mission of providing safe and equal access to it. Read more on estuario.org.

We thank all the citizens, neighbors, collaborators, educators, and students who were part of this conversation.
