Reporting Environmental Offenses

Bocas del Toro is an exquisite region, comprising unique ecosystems in the rain forests of the islands and mainland; the mangroves and beaches of the coast; and the ancient coral reefs and seagrass meadows below the surface of the Caribbean Sea.

BSTA supports ANAM, Panama´s National Environment Authority, in their efforts to conserve Panama´s Protected Areas, both marine and terrestrial; and we urge visitors and residents to report any environmental infractions either directly to ANAM, or to BSTA who will pass on the information.
