The Liquid Jungle Lab is located in an area currently isolated from any large population center, surrounded by a very special type of tropical and decidious rainforest on the Pacific coast.

The Parque Nacional de Isla Coiba (Coiba National Park) is home to one of the most diverse terrestrial and marine ecosystems in Central America and was recently elevated to World Heritage Site status by UNESCO.

The LJL project is concerned with conservation of terrestrial and marine communities within its own domain. The LJL also serves as a testing and groundtruthing area for state of the art ocean engineering and technology.

It is hoped that the ongoing scientific research at LJL and the lands set aside as a natural preserves in the adjacent Bahia Honda, Pixvae, and Punta Muertos coastal regions will help preserve, protect, and monitor critical habitats and maintain a primary corridor for the species interaction between the mainland and the small island archipelago surrounding Coiba.
