Reserva de Guagera in the Public Registry

Tranquilo Bay worked with the Salt Creek indigenous community to request a municipal reserve from the Municipal Consejo. The consejo approved the reserve over a year ago; however it was not "legal" until it made it into the Panama Public Registry. The documents from the consejo making the reserve were published in the Public Registry on May 12. The Reserva de Guagera is adjacent to Bastimentos National Marine Park. This reserve will protect the trees, which provide roofing to this indigenous community and keep the area from ever being developed. There is a management plan which covers the reserve. It is to be managed by the Salt Creek community.
