Wetlands

Isla Culebrita has two shallow lagoons, the largest of which, Laguna de Molino (Mill Lagoon), is located in northwest branch of the island. It covers approximately 5.5 acres and is about -3 feet below sea level. The second lagoon, referred to as the eastern tidal flat, is located near the middle of the island’s west coast and covers about 0.9 acres. Both lagoons are bordered on the seaward-side by a small mangrove fringe. These wetlands are an important habitat for some of the local wildlife.
