The Sociedad Espeleológica de Puerto Rico (SEPRI) and the Sociedad Espeleológica Unida del Sur (SEUS) asked the Natural Resources Commission of the House of Representatives not to approve House Project 1079, which they claim would dismantle protection of a non-renewable natural resource that the water supply, biodiversity, and economy depend on. The organizations defended the karst, a vital natural resource, in a public hearing.
