How will the project affect the mangroves?

Puerto Barú in David will be Panama’s first green port, designed to operate under high environmental standards. Within the 124.6 hectares of private land where the project will be developed, there are no mangroves, and by law the project cannot affect mangroves.

We have a baseline study to determine the condition of the ecosystem prior to the project proposal, and as part of the Management Plan we commit to conservation and monitoring of ecosystems to maintain existing conditions. This includes guaranteeing forest cover and maintaining water and soil quality (preventing contamination).
