Ou t r eac h for Marine Protected Area & Invasive Species Awareness

Tr es Pal mas anniver sar y f est .

Rincon

Later in July , Amigos de Tres Palmas held an anniversary celebration to spread awareness of the Tres Palmas Marine Reserve . At this event , the citizen science project was described and volunteer divers were recognized for their efforts . Local environmental groups showcased their work , including Isla Mar . Our booth introduced locals to our organization , our projects and our mission . We had the opportunity to showcase Artedi and allow guests to try the app . This was our first event to promote Isla Mar to our home base in Rincon , and we were excited to be approached by guests who had already heard about us !
