Contaminated waters in Luquillo, Puerto Rico.
Contaminated waters in Luquillo, Puerto Rico.

By mid-afternoon on any given Sunday, the noise on Palomino Island is deafening. Dozens of boats, some tied together and others directly anchored to the seabed due to lack of buoys, compete to be the ones entertaining visitors with their music. The sound is so shrill that the family day becomes unbearable. The types of music vary, but reggaetón, salsa and bachata, abound, mixed with the smell of marijuana.
