The lands and waters that make up the GTM Research Reserve have a rich history of human occupation. GTM Research Reserve seeks to assess these resources to protect them and give the public opportunities to learn about them.

Strategies

• Complete archaeological surveys on the Guana Peninsula.
• Develop a complete list of collections for all artifacts collected from GTM Research Reserve.
• Enhance opportunities for the public to learn about the cultural resources at GTM Research Reserve.
• Maintain and conserve archaeological sites and their artifacts from vandalism, erosion or other forms of degradation.

Volunteers at Sanchez Mound help search for artifacts.

Goal

Preserve the cultural resources through research, interpretation and preservation.
