They are now investigating up in the watersheds of the polluted creeks that drain into the public beach and Reserva Marina Tres Palmas in Rincón to identify the sources of pollution so that an achievable remediation plan can be determined. This campaign aims to improve water quality at the beach for better public health protection and to support healthy corals in the Reserve.
