Maritime Photography Exhibition
Last Thursday, May 11, the H2O Photographic Collective inaugurated the Maritime Photography Exhibition at the gallery of Public Cultural Space, in Santurce—a collaborative effort that brought together 70 photographers dedicated to highlighting the power of nature.
For the second year in a row, Estuario joined this event, along with other collaborators such as Surfrider Puerto Rico, the Vieques History and Conservation Trust, CRES, and Cleanwater PR. We appreciate the efforts of the organizers: Manuel “Gonzo” González and Salvi Colón!
Weekly bacteriological monitoring
Evaluation conducted on Thursday, May 18, 2023. We have a GREEN flag for the Condado Lagoon Estuarine Nature Reserve. All stations passed the water quality parameter for enterococci (70 CFU/100mL). We recommend avoiding direct contact with these bodies of water during rain events.
