The Caño Martin Peña restoration project is critical for the revitalization of eight impoverished communities of over 20,000 habitants settled along the Martín Peña tidal channel, and restoration of this system will significantly improve human health and safety in the area by reducing residents’ frequent contact with highly polluted floodwaters. The CMP project is located in underserved, rural areas of Puerto Rico. This project falls inline with the President’s Justice 40 initiative.
