A week after Hurricane Fiona passing through Puerto Rico, Estuario is in the process of evaluating its impact on the ecosystems and communities of the watershed. In the Condado Lagoon Natural Estuarine Reserve, which we co-manage, we have been conducting daily bacteriological monitoring. These have presented high levels of enterococci (details below). We are aware of a gasoline/diesel spill to the Lagoon. We have notified the situation to the Municipality of San Juan and DNER with the support of the community group Amigos de la Laguna.

Document and share with us the effects of water strokes, floods, sanitary overflows or other events that may affect the water quality of your community. We also share our Community Protocol to Submit Complaints and File Environmental Violation Reports; Which has the tools you need to report these events through relevant channels.

Take advantage of our information platform, Estuario’s Virtual Community Hub, where you’ll find vital information to prepare for events like this with your family and community.  We also encourage you to download the Community Hurricane Preparedness Guide and use its recommendations during this season.
