Weekly Estuary Update
This week we continued sharing efforts and opportunities to strengthen the waters connected to the San Juan Bay estuary, its ecosystems, and communities. Happy holidays and a prosperous new year!
Meeting of the Estuary Citizens' Advisory Committee
The San Juan Bay Estuary invites you to the next Citizens Advisory Committee meeting, on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Estuary offices and virtually via Zoom.
We will share the progress of the 2026 fiscal year work plan and discuss the proposed plan for 2027. This space is an opportunity to learn about the actions we are taking for the restoration and management of the waters and ecosystems connected to the estuary, ask questions, share ideas, and be part of the dialogue that strengthens this collaborative work.
