Mosquito Pier is located on the north of the island of Vieques, connected to land by a mile long wave breaker. Because it has been out of use for so long, and also because of its gifted location, Mosquito Pier and the Rompeolas have turned into a very unique marine habitat where schools of reef dwellers as well as endangered and protected species gather. As a safe-haven for sea dwellers, the Pier is a valuable resource for the local economy in general. As a coral and fish nursery it provides all adjoining reefs with a steady supply of young fish. At the same time it attracts larger, older species like Sea Turtles, Goliath Groupers, Manatees, Dolphins, Rays and Sharks. As this self containing ecosystem runs, it is important protect it as it has one of the largest concentrations of different marine species in Puerto Rico.
