However, the undeveloped land, unpolluted beaches, clear waters and thriving reefs of this area are endangered by proposed development projects that involve the urbanization and/or the construction of high rise cement buildings.

In early 2001, a coalition of local and national environmental groups met to protect these unique resources. The coalition is proposing the creation of a Nature Reserve, which would preserve the 262 acres of land that stretches from the Tres Palmas/Steps beach in Bo. Ensenada, Rincon to the lands owned by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority in Bo. Puntas, Rincon.

A Coastal Reserve would prevent the kind of development that would destroy the coastal and marine resources that make this area an attraction for local residents and tourists alike.

Please sign this petition as soon as possible and help us save this pristine area from destructive resort developments.
