Giving tuesday
The Estuary invites you to participate in #GivingTuesday 2020 and thanks you for your continued support and participation in the achievements of this past year. For over 25 years, the Estuary has led not only the restoration of our waters, but also the well-being of the population of the Metropolitan Area.
Your contribution to the Estuary will help us develop Puerto Rico's first multi-jurisdictional risk mitigation plan over the next year. This plan will help communities in the San Juan Bay Estuary watershed reduce their vulnerabilities and prevent damage to property and lives.
Please consider donating to the Estuary starting today. No matter the amount, your contribution will help us achieve more resilient ecosystems and healthier communities. #GivingTuesday is celebrated this December 1, 2020.
