Estuary Update
Through our weekly update, we share opportunities for collaboration, volunteering, and employment; through initiatives and planned actions that benefit the ecosystems and communities of the San Juan Bay estuary. These activities, tips, and information are for the benefit of everyone.
Next week we'll be celebrating Coral Reef Week! Celebrate with Estuario and our partners at the DRNA, who have planned a calendar of activities as part of this commemoration. Download the calendar here (PDF).
Estuary Cinema
Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Estuary Cinema screening of In the Heights, scheduled for Saturday, June 4, 2022, has been cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to see you at our next screening. Stay tuned for details.

As part of Coral Reef Week, don't miss the Citizen Scientist Certification Workshop— Coral Reefs: Resilience of Coastal Ecosystems— on Thursday, June 9, 2022, from 5-7 PM at the Estuary Visitor Center (Old San Juan) and virtually via Zoom.

Weekly Water Quality Monitoring
Assessment conducted on Thursday, June 2, 2022. We continue to have a green flag warning for the County Lagoon Estuarine Reserve and other coastal areas. However, we recommend remaining vigilant for any precipitation events.
The restoration and water quality management efforts in the San Juan Bay estuary watershed are made possible by our supporters. Donations to the Estuary are tax-deductible in Puerto Rico and the United States.
