Presentation on microplastics in Atlanta
A special greeting to Alexis Rosado, a student at Inter San Germán, who, along with Dr. Ángela González, analyzed microplastic samples taken during one of the field trips to the Estuary.
Alexis recently presented the study results to students at Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA. Congratulations, Alexis!
Weekly bacteriological monitoring
Assessment conducted on Wednesday, September 28, 2022. We have a red flag in the County Lagoon Estuarine Nature Reserve. This and another area along the coast did not meet the quality standard, so we recommend avoiding any contact with these areas and being alert for any precipitation events.
Message from your Virtual Community Center
Estuario encourages you to download the Community Hurricane Preparedness Guide and use its recommendations this season. Your community's strength and resilience begin at home. This June, we continue to urge communities to recognize the risks of natural disasters and stay informed.
Take advantage of our information platform, the Estuary Virtual Community Center, where you will find vital information to prepare with your family and community.
We remind you that to learn about Risk Mitigation and identify the risks, conditions, and community assets in your community, you can access: https://estuario.org/mitigacion/
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.
