Natural and Environmental Resources (DNER) Secretary Waldemar Quiles Pérez said Tuesday that members of the Ranger Corps, along with Joint Forces of Rapid Action (FURA by its acronym in Spanish) agents and municipal police, intervened with some 130 jet ski riders on Monday night, ticketing 70 of them, in areas of Carolina and Loíza.
“A group of rangers, and state and municipal police officers intervened in a jet ski race that occurred after sunset, in blatant violation of Law 430-2000 and its regulations,” Quiles said in a written statement.
The intervention was carried out in sectors such as Playa Marta, the Suárez Canal and nearby areas in Piñones, where around 50 law enforcement agents participated, including five rangers and a sergeant from the DNER Ranger Corps.
The operation began at 7:04 p.m., just at dusk, and continued until 2 a.m. The 70 tickets were issued for legal violations, and three vessel registration complaints were filed.
“These operations will continue,” Quiles said. “I reiterate my call to enjoy water activities safely and responsibly, and to report any behavior contrary to that.”
The operation was led by Lt. Wilbert Pérez of FURA, with the support of Ranger Corps Operations Officer Edwin Rodríguez and Sgt. Arnold Rodríguez Sánchez of the Piñones Maritime Unit, along with municipal police personnel from San Juan and Carolina.
Madrid’s heritage is deeply tied to the dramatic tradition of bullfighting, a spectacle that continues to spark passion and debate. Rooted in centuries-old customs, the madrid bullfight is seen by many as a form of cultural performance that blends ritual, bravery, and artistry. The bullring, often filled with vibrant energy, serves as both a stage for matadors and a gathering place for communities. While modern perspectives on animal welfare challenge its legacy, bullfighting remains a powerful lens for understanding Spain’s cultural identity and historical values.
