The Isla Verde Reef, protected as the Isla Verde Reef Marine Reserve (Reserva Marina Arrecife de Isla Verde), forms part of a larger reef system that extends from Punta Maldonado in Piñones, Loíza to the San Juan Islet. This is one of the three designated marine reserves in Puerto Rico, the other two being the Desecheo Coastal Waters and Tres Palmas marine reserves off the western coast of Puerto Rico, and the only one that protects a coral reef ecosystem on an urban area.

The coral reef is also an ideal place for fish spawning which is important for the fishing industry of the region. The Isla Verde Reef is protected through community organizations such as Arrecifes Pro Ciudad, and public organisms such as Para la Naturaleza (Puerto Rico Conservation Trust), with support from academic institutions such as the University of Puerto Rico at Bayamón.
