Maintenance in the Washington Slagbaai National Park.

The job duties of a park ranger include protecting unspoiled natural resources from pollution, improving the conservation efforts of large park areas, and managing the day-to-day operations of our national park.
Keeping the park safe for visitors and wildlife is the most important part of a ranger’s job. The maintenance of the signs in the park is part of that. As could be seen on the pictures.
It is dangerous to go snorkeling or swimming at Playa Chikitu due to strong currents and waves. However, it is worth visiting Playa Chikitu because of its gorgeous white sand beach and beautiful sand dunes, the only ones on Bonaire. … See MoreSee Less

Maintenance in the Bonaire National Marine Park

Bonaire’s unique geography has created miles of leeward coastline with easy shore access and almost perfect dive conditions. Each dive site is marked with a yellow rock on shore and a yellow buoy in the water that indicates where to descend, making self-guided diving relatively safe and easy.
As the number of tourists have increased considerably, the pressure on the reef intensified over the last couple of years, due to different factors. The costs of maintenance and daily management of the marine park have soared in the last few years, but STINAPA’s income has remained more or less the same. The dive site buoys need maintenance or replacement about three times as often as about 5 years ago. And the yellow rocks on shore also need to be refreshed with a lick of paint and the dive site name.
So, over the last few weeks, STINAPA rangers have checked and upgraded ALL the yellow dive rock markers on shore, and replaced the ones that ‘disappeared’.
Please support STINAPA by leaving the rocks where they are as they perform an important function by indicating where cars can go off the road to enter the parking area of a dive site, thereby conserving the intertidal zone and shore areas. And some of them indicate the safest entry and exit area of the dive site at the waterfront.
This is one of the many tasks that the nature tag provides the funds for. Please help ensure visitors contribute to the upkeep of the park by buying their tag.
