Environmental Stewardship and Community Support
Sustainability and stewardship is at the core of the facilities, infrastructure and operation of Islas Secas.
- 100% of energy consumption on island is powered by our 300-meter long solar array.
- 100% of guest water use is captured and reclaimed through a system that includes man-made wetlands, sand filtration system and infrared light process to provide surface irrigation.
- 100% of food scraps are dehydrated and used for composting as fertilizer. There is no waste.
- Guest facilities were constructed with certified sustainable wood and interior woods were pressure treated with non-toxic boric acid. These high-quality materials and construction methods were used to maximize the life of facilities to reduce the frequency of future rebuilds.
- No single-use plastic water bottles.
- Staff rotation schedule minimizes boat transport between Islas Secas and mainland Panama.
The Islas Secas Foundation, which is funded by a private interest, supports land, water and wildlife conservation organization in the region, as well as local community programs.
