The flag of Mera canton is composed of two horizontal stripes of equal
dimensions. The upper part is green, representing the exuberant vegetation of
the forests and the crops that are the source of income for the region. The
lower stripe, yellow, represents the mining, plant and animal resources, whose
technically improved exploitation shall be a positive factor for the canton's
progress. At left is a blue triangle, representing the sky and the several
rivers that irrigate the soil. It also represents the spiritual resources of the
inhabitants for the conquest of a better cultural and economical standard. The
triangle is charged with a big and two smaller stars, representing the urban
parish and the the two rural parishes of Shell and Madre Tierra, respectively.
Were new parishes to be established in the future, the number of stars would be
automatically incremented.
