Weekly Water Quality Monitoring
Results of evaluation carried out on Thursday, May 12, 2022. We continue with a green flag throughout the five monitoring stations at the Condado Lagoon Estuarine Reserve. We report a red flag area along the coast—we recommend avoiding this area and remaining attentive to precipitation events.
The actions for the restoration and management of bodies of water within the San Juan Bay Estuary Watershed are possible thanks to the public. Donations to the San Juan Bay Estuary Program are deductible from Puerto Rico and US tax returns.
