Overview

Our mission is to restore and conserve the water quality in the Estuario de la Bahía de San Juan ecosystem as a sustainable hub of social and economic development.

We are a non-profit organization that works to protect this ecosystem within its eight municipalities: Bayamón, Carolina, Cataño, Guaynabo, Loíza, San Juan, Toa Baja, and Trujillo Alto.

Our office employs six full-time employees. Our main responsibilities are:

• Promote and implement the Comprehensive Conservation Management Plan (CCMP) of the Estuario de la Bahía de San Juan and monitor its progress.
• Study the environmental response to this implementation process.
• Inform the members of the Management Conference of the Bahía de San Juan Management Program about the environmental response to the implementation process.
• Communicate the efforts of the implementation of the Management Plan.
• Improve public awareness about the estuary.
• Develop a work plan and annual budget.

We have the following active committees that meet several times per year:

• Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC)
• Civic Advisory Committee (CAC)

The STAC president represents the academic/technology sectors and the CAC president represents the residents of the bordering communities of the estuary before the Management Conference.
