Environmental justice and the changes needed to achieve it start from our communities. Therefore, we invite you to a training that covers the current state of the plastic waste crisis on the Island, what you need to know to act, the measures that have been taken from the point of view of public policy, and the platform created by already established actors. It will be provided on two dates , Friday, 13 and Saturday, May 14, 2022, from 10AM-12PM. Both dates will feature the same workshop. Register today in our portal.

Weekly Water Quality Monitoring
Here are the results for the evaluation carried out on Thursday, May 5, 2022. We continue with a green flag for the Condado Lagoon Estuarine Reserve. We report a red flag area—we recommend avoiding recreational use in that area and being on the lookout 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.
