Estuario Weekly Update
Estuarine hugs! This past Tuesday, March 8, we celebrated International Women’s Day. Once again, we dedicate it to all community leaders, collaborators, citizen scientists, and volunteers dedicated to the health of our estuarine ecosystems and the environmental justice of their communities. Congratulations!
Strategies for Collaboration with Communities
In line with our Work Plan, we are holding collaborative meetings with the citizens of the San Juan Bay estuary watershed. These meetings will be held in our Resilient Hubs. Their purpose is to create collaborative strategies that benefit the environmental justice and ecosystems health of estuarine communities. All citizens are welcome to participate. There will be virtual spaces available. See the dates, addresses to the Hubs, registration, and more information at https://estuario.org/resilient-hubs/.
