I'm horrified by the events in Aguadilla yesterday. Private security assaulted and shot activists peacefully protesting.
Since when is protecting the environment a crime?
This nonsense must end. Relevant agencies must do their jobs, and those responsible must face justice.
As I commend this settlement, I want to remind everyone that Cueva de las Golondrinas remains unprotected.
The @EPAregion2 is authorized to intervene, impose penalties, and seek relief in court when previous remedies have failed to stop wrongdoing.
Este sábado estaremos junto al equipo de Investigación subacuática presentando sobre los arrecifes de la Bahía de Aguadilla y la sedimentación en el Campamento Pelicano. Actividad familiar 🤙🏼🌊
Aquí apreciamos cómo se ha destruido el Cliff del Pelicano pardo y la cueva de las golondrinas en Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. El polémico proyecto tiene orden de demolición y serios reclamos por parte de las comunidades.
@NydiaVelazquez We need the Federal agencies in Puerto Rico to take immediate action on the case of the Cueva de las Golondrinas and the Brown Pelican Cliff.They are destroying the Quebradillas Cliff which is habitat for the Mariposa, a species placed on the endangered species list by the @USFWS
