Join Eliezer Nieves, one of our estuarine birders, to walk, see, hear, and reflect on these winged organisms, their urban ecosystems, and how they are impacted by the effects of climate change.

Read the 2023-2028 Puerto Rico Strategic Plan to Reduce Aquatic Waste
Last Tuesday, October 10, 2023, NOAA’s Marine Debris Program published the 2023-2028 Puerto Rico Strategic Plan to Reduce Aquatic Debris. This document, created in collaboration with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Region 2 and the Trash-Free Water Program, lays out a solid waste reduction plan for the next five years in Puerto Rico. It included the participation of dozens of entities, including non-governmental organizations, local governments, and the island’s industrial and academic sectors.
