Saturday, January 30, 2021 – Supporting ecosystem restoration efforts with green infrastructure, the Estuary joined EarthEcho in planting red mangroves in the Condado Lagoon Estuarine Nature Reserve. The activity adhered to COVID-19 prevention protocols and included a small group of young people from EarthEcho's Ambassador Program and members of the Estuary team. Ninety-two seedlings were planted in three strategic areas of the Lagoon. The young Ambassadors also received a short presentation about the importance of red mangroves in the Lagoon's ecosystems.
The Estuary thanks the staff of the Municipality of San Juan for their support and continued willingness to co-manage this Reserve. Thanks are also due to the Friends of the Lagoon and the president of the Citizens' Action Committee, Marisol Jiménez, who act as monitors and collaborators in the restoration and management activities.
