A Puertorican initiative is asking for the protection of the beaches and marine waters of Puerta de Tierra which are of high ecological, cultural, historical, landscape, recreational and tourist value. According to the initiative, the historic area of Puerta de Tierra is framed with forts and contains special ecological value ecosystems such as endangered coral reefs (i.e. Acropora palmata).

The petition can be found here, and the actions of this initiative can be followed from their facebook page!
