As a U.S. territory, Puerto Rico offers the allure of an exotic locale with a rich, vibrant culture and unparalleled natural offerings, without needing a passport or currency exchange.

  • Gay Guide to Puerto Rico
    APPENDIX D: GAY GUIDE TO PUERTO RICO Also please see our website www.PuertoRicoGayVacation.com Please email me any updates or additional information to [email protected] so we can keep the below info as up to date as possible. ! GAY LIFE: Puerto Rico is one of the most gay friendly of all Caribbean islands. Gay marriage and adoption is legal in Puerto Rico (see Ricky Martin). The two large Pride parades (one in Condado and one in Cabo Rojo) are well attended annually. Condado, Ocean Park, Santurce and Rio Piedras are the biggest “gayborhoods” though there are bars in Old San Juan as well. You should feel at ease with your partner on any beach, but particularly the Ocean Park beaches. The island of Vieques is also a gay haven. That being said, Puerto Rico is a very Catholic area and being gay is not always accepted. It may be best to use caution if you travel to any of the smaller cities/villages or leave the San Juan area. ! HEALTH CLINIC/HIV TESTING: Free instant HIV tests are available upon request at the walgreens clinic during normal hours (inside Walgreens). This takes about 30 minutes total. ! PRIDE: San Juan/Condado: Always in June. Typically news of the date is not available until late. The parade is always on Sunday about noon. Parties start usually the Thursday prior and continue through the weekend. The parade starts around noonish (island time) at Parque Indio and goes until Parque Escambron. After parties are at the beach of Atlantic Beach Hotel or other venues and clubs.

  • San Juan Harbor Mitigation Project, Draft FONSI and EA, 23 May 2014, Puerto Rico
    SAN JUAN HARBOR SUBMERGED AQUATIC VEGETATION MITIGATION PROJECT, SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT f.'Z"f.'' ~.:..:!.!.~ U.S. Army Corps of Engineers May 2014 Jacksonville District This page intentionally left blan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Mitigation is required as a result of widening the Puerto Nuevo Channel in San Juan Harbor, which impacted an estimated 1.2 acres of sea grass (Halophila decipiens) and marine macro- algae. The mitigation originally proposed involved raising the bottom elevation of a portion of San Juan Harbor to support sea grass. This mitigation plan presents (among other concerns) engineering concerns over the confinement of the material used for raising the elevation. Extensive and costly structures would be needed to contain the material and prevent migration of material into the navigation channel. The new mitigation proposal would involve filling of approximately 4 acres (including side slopes) of certain dredged holes in the nearby Condado Lagoon with approximately 46,000 cubic yards of suitable material to a depth of -12 feet to -15 feet resulting in 1.2 acres at an elevation suitable for sea grass. The fill material would come from the recently shoaled areas of the La Esperanza Ecosystem Restoration project located along the western shore of San Juan Bay. An alternative borrow source would be the San Antonio channel in San Juan Harbor. In La Esperanza, one borrow source would be the north-facing opening into San Juan Bay. The east-facing opening could also provide some material if needed. See enclosed maps and drawings for additional details. Both of these areas have experienced substantial shoaling since the completion of the La Esperanza Ecosystem Restoration Project on May 20, 2005.

  • Advanced Landscape Architecture Theory
    OLD SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO, US: A CASE STUDY OF HERITAGE TOURISM AS A MECHANISM TO PROMOTE HISTORIC PRESERVATION & ECONOMICAL DEVELOPMENT PROFESSOR JOSÉ R BUITRAGO ; ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, COLLEGE OF ENVIRONMENT AND DESIGN SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN ATHENS [email protected] KEYWORDS Identity and Culture, Ethics, politics and Philosophy, Globalisation, Tran-disciplinary Knowledge, Socio-economics, Land History, Architecture and Landscape Architecture. ABSTRACT Heritage tourism became a successful strategy to promote The USA Commonwealth of Puerto Rico as a unique tropical destination in the Caribbean. Driven by the desire to capitalize in the heritage tourism market, both private and public sectors joined efforts to initiate the restoration of the 16th century district of Old San Juan. This effort, in return, launched the island as an international tropical tourist destination with a unique historic character among the Caribbean Islands. Further capital investment was set to promote the development of the infrastructure required to support tourism. As a direct result of this capital investment, the development of the San Juan-Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport allowed San Juan to become the transit hub of the Caribbean Region. The Hub designation guarantees San Juan a constant flow of travelers. The seaport of San Juan also took on an active role in this tourism campaign when it was declared the busiest and most important homeport of cruise-line ships in the world. The Island also gained international repute through its unique tropical flora and fauna, developing an industry ahead of its time – eco-tourism. The incorporation of the tropical rain forest of El Yunque under the U.S.

  • Dine Around Options
    DINE AROUND OPTIONS The best San Juan restaurants can rival anything in London, Paris or New York. In fact, many of the island's top chefs cut their teeth in Manhattan before branching out to what some call New York's sixth borough. The best places to eat in San Juan are found in two places: Old San Juan and Condado. You'll find plenty of American fast-food options everywhere, but the best Puerto Rican food is "comida criolla," traditional dishes that are a blend of Spanish, Caribbean and West Indian flavors and ingredients. Keep an eye out for mofongo, a delectable mish-mash of plantains and seafood or beef, thick soups that are almost more like a meatloaf than a broth, and grilled seafood—lots and lots of grilled seafood. Old San Juan Neighborhood Old San Juan is located in the northeast of San Juan on a two- and half-mile limestone islet. Old San Juan is one of Puerto Rico’s treasures. You cannot resist to visit this Old Colonial City full of shops, historic places, museums, open air cafés, restaurants, gracious homes, and tree-shaded plazas. Marmalade Chef Owner Peter Schintler, has traveled to over forty countries on five continents, and worked under six different Master Chefs, from France to Asia, at restaurants such as Raymond Blanc’s Le Manior Aux Quat Saisons, La Contea in Piedmonte, and the legendary Le Cirque in Manhattan. Chef Peter first achieved notoriety in Singapore, where he was nominated as Asia’s rising star. At Marmalade Chef Peter has created a vivid and sexy ambiance “at the vanguard of elegant and contemporary gastronomy in San Juan”.

In recent years, erosion of the coast has occurred in front of the buildings, while accretion has occurred at the other extreme (western part) of the coast. Yellow pin on map shows location of Punta Guilarte in Puerto Rico Zoomed in view of location Zoomed in view of Vacation Center facilities The photos below show coastal erosion and accretion comparing 2004 and 2019. Imagery date: 9/30/2004 Imagery date:3/18/2019 Day 1: Puerto Rico, Living Shorelines/Green Infrastructure Working Session Case Study PARCELAS SUÁREZ- LOÍZA Issue: Coastal Erosion Parcelas Suárez is located on the northeast coast of Puerto Rico in the Municipality of Loiza. The erosion in this area is threatening critical infrastructure, including a public road, a public school and a community center, along approximately 1,050 feet of shoreline. The erosion in Loíza was further exacerbated by impacts from Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria. Road protection is an immediate critical need because the 2017 hurricanes worsened shoreline erosion, causing partial failure of the public road (see photos below). The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DNER) have been working on an Integrated Feasibility Report and Environmental Assessment for this area and a draft of the report was published in March 2018.

  • Implementing & Funding the SJBE Management Plan
    CHAPTER SEVEN: IMPLEMENTING AND FUNDING THE SJBE MANAGEMENT PLAN THE SAN JUAN BAY ESTUARY (SJBE) Program is unique among the existing 28 national estuary programs (NEPs) in the United States. It is the only NEP located in a densely populated, intensely industrialized, highly developed, and ecologically sensitive tropical island. Also, since San Juan, Puerto Rico is the oldest city within the United States, its historical and archeological features have immense social and cultural value. These diverse characteristics Torrecilla Lagoon. present a true challenge and an exciting opportunity of paramount importance for estuarine conservation and management in the western hemisphere. The experience of the SJBE Program in managing valuable and threatened natural resources will be extremely useful to Latin American countries and other Caribbean island nations. Additionally, Puerto Rico, with its extensive bilingual and multi-cultural history, has the opportunity to improve communications with Spanish speaking countries and enhance information exchange across the western hemisphere. 228 Management Plan July 2000 The implementation of the Management Plan will have a tremendous impact on Puerto Rico. San Juan has an extensive water body system interconnecting San Juan Bay and several coastal lagoons through channels to the Atlantic Ocean. This system is anchored on the western portion by San Juan Bay, the major port of entry to Puerto Rico, and the busiest commercial port in the Caribbean. The eastern portion of the system has several lagoons and canals providing a continuous inland waterway from the Piñones State Forest to the Old San Juan tourist area. Some areas of the estuary are bordered by poor marginal communities which require high priority attention due to the public health effects of pollution.

    Morris J. Berman Restoration Projects Annual Report August 2009 Morris J. Berman Restoration Projects 2009 Annual Report On January 7, 1994, the barge Morris J. Berman ran aground on a reef off Punta Escambrón, releasing approximately 925,000 gallons of fuel oil into waters near San Juan, Puerto Rico. The oil spread along the north coast of Puerto Rico, injuring resources along the shoreline and impairing their use for an extended period. Berman grounding site and spill area. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Park Service (NPS), and Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (PRDNER) are the natural resource Trustees for this spill. A settlement agreement reached on December 28, 2000, among the Trustees and the parties responsible for the spill resolved claims for natural resource damages. The settlement included payment of nearly $10 million to the Trustees for compensatory restoration projects in three injury categories: grounding-related reef injuries, lost recreational beach use, and lost visitor use of national historic site resources. To meet their responsibilities to plan and implement restoration using settlement funds, the Trustees prepared a Restoration Plan/Environmental Assessment, which proposed restoration projects to address the injuries. After receiving input during a public comment period and two public meetings, several restoration projects were selected. These projects are described below under the category of injury they address. Additional information on the projects is available in the Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment, which may be found at http://www.darrp.noaa.gov/berman and http://parkplanning.nps.gov. 2 Projects to Restore Reef Resources Three projects were selected to restore reef habitat and other reef resources injured by the barge grounding and subsequent oil spill.
