Fostering Community Connections Through Citizen Science

Isla Mar’s Tres Palmas Citizen Science Program brings our mission to life by connecting people with the ocean and empowering them to protect these valuable spaces. Through this program, we share vital knowledge about the health of marine ecosystems with local communities, deepening their love and respect for our coastal environments.

Our dedicated group of citizen scientists receives hands-on training to measure and monitor the ecological health of the Tres Palmas Marine Reserve, one of Puerto Rico’s most important coral reef sites. By equipping residents with the skills and tools to collect scientific data, we’re not only safeguarding this critical habitat but also creating a network of informed ocean stewards.

We bring together residents from diverse backgrounds, genders, ages, and community roles, aiming to create opportunities for meaningful engagement. Our goal is to unite like-minded individuals who are dedicated to contributing their time and energy to safeguarding the island's natural resources. Together, we build stronger community connections, foster meaningful engagement, and inspire action for the future of our island.

Your donation allows Isla Mar to provide important resources for the program, such as essential materials and supplies, specialized training, and community engagement events that raise awareness and support.

Donate today and be part of a community making a difference, one coral reef at a time.
