History
Fort Amador and the Causeway were built using spoil from the Canal’s excavation; the Causeway became a public recreation corridor connecting several small islands to Panama City.
Conservation
Stay on marked paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and support local vendors to minimize impact; mangrove areas along the Causeway are sensitive nurseries for coastal species.
