Estuary Update
Happy new year!
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.
Christmas bird censuses conclude. Gamaliel Pagán Hernández
This 2021-2022 holiday season, we successfully conducted the traditional Gamaliel Pagán Hernández Holiday Bird Census, from December 14th to January 5th. We thank all the participating volunteers and citizen scientists, as well as the managers, administrators, and organizations that granted us access to their natural areas. See you next year!

Weekly water quality monitoring
Below are the results of the weekly bacteriological monitoring, carried out on Thursday, January 13, 2022. These results are also published on our social media channels.
We continue to have a green flag for the County Lagoon Estuarine Reserve. We have reported some areas with red flags, therefore we recommend avoiding recreational use in those areas and being alert for 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.
