Description: The establishment of marine reserves within the mapping area began in 1975 when the Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico acquired the land area of the Cabezas de San Juan to conserve the bioluminescent lagoon and historic Spanish lighthouse. The reserve was later extended out to nine nautical miles to protect the surrounding marine habitats. In 1980, the Puerto Rico Planning Board created the Arrecifes de la Cordillera Natural Reserve and in 1991 developed a management plan to protect a chain of ecologically significant limestone cays which extend seaward from the Cabezas de San Juan Natural Reserve across the Vieques Sound (Eileen Alicea, pers comm.). Culebra Island was recognised by natural resource managers as an area of high ecological value that should be protected, and in 1999 The Canal Luis Peña Natural Reserve (CLPNR) was created by the Puerto Rico Coastal Zone Management Program. The designation effort was catalyzed by the Culebra Fisher’s Association, community members, local groups, and the scientific community. An approved management plan was developed through NOAA National Fish and Wildlife Foundation partnership grant funds with stakeholder input and a no fishing zone within the CLPNR was implemented in September 2008 (Eileen Alicea, pers comm.). The latest edition of nature reserves is the Reserva Natural Corredor Ecologico del Noreste between Luqillo and Fajardo, which was proposed by a grassroots movement in the late 1990’s. It was signed into law in 2013 and extended the boundaries of the Cabeza de San Juan Natural Reserve to the nine nautical mile Territorial Sea boundary. A new management plan is currently being developed for the area (Eileen Alicea, pers comm). Additionally, legislation is currently being proposed by the Puerto Rico Planning Board to develop a new marine management area that could connect all the reserves to form a marine ecological natural corridor between Northeast Puerto Rico and Culebra island (Eileen Aliciea, pers comm.)
