Commentary New Marine Protected Area Established Off Puerto Rico

After 16 years of dedicated grassroots efforts, northern Puerto Rico's local communities are celebrating a major environmental victory with the establishment of the Jardines Submarinos de Vega Baja y Manatí marine protected area. This new sanctuary safeguards critical marine ecosystems, including coral reefs and habitats for endangered species, contributing to biodiversity preservation and climate resilience. The community-led push to protect these waters highlights the power of collective action and deep local commitment to conservation, ensuring that future generations can enjoy and benefit from these rich underwater "gardens." It’s a testament to the value of grassroots activism in environmental protection.
