Estuario Weekly Update
Through our weekly update, we share opportunities for collaboration, volunteering, and work; through initiatives and actions programmed for the benefit of the ecosystems and communities of the San Juan Bay estuary. These activities, tips and information are for everyone’s benefit.
Visit from the Environmental Protection Agency
This week the San Juan Bay Estuary Program received a visit from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), with the purpose of completing Estuario’s Program Evaluation. This evaluation is carried out every five years to ensure compliance with the actions of the Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan of the San Juan Bay Estuary (CCMP). The team made a tour of different community-based projects through the watershed and experienced first-hand—together with leaders and community entities—the results of our efforts.
Message from your Virtual Community Hub
This 2022 hurricane season, Estuario encourages you to download the Community Hurricane Preparedness Guide and apply its recommendations. The strength and resilience of your community starts at home. In this month of June, we continue to urge communities to recognize natural risks and stay informed.
Take advantage of our informative platform, the Virtual Community Hub, where you will find vital information to prepare your family and community.
We remind you that to learn about our Hazard Mitigation Program and identify the risks, conditions and community assets available in your community: https://estuario.org/hazard-mitigation/
