Beach patrol – Get your tag on!

STINAPA rangers give information to tourists on the rules and regulations of the marine protected areas. They patrol popular beaches to check that the nature fee has been paid, and this morning they are at Atlantis kite beach to remind kiters that they are not allowed in the light blue waters except in the designated area right in front of Atlantis. The rest of the light blue areas around Bonaire is where divers and snorkelers are found at the surface, so kiting in those shallow areas is prohibited as it poses a danger to other marine park users.

Please adhere to the rules of the marine park, support nature conservation on Bonaire by paying the nature fee so that future generations may also enjoy our beautiful marine park!

Upside Down Jellyfish

The Cassiopea (upside-down jellyfish) is one of many amazing marine creatures found in mangrove ecosystems. The medusa usually lives upside-down on the bottom, which has earned them the common name. Where found, there may be numerous individuals with varying shades of white, blue, green and brown. They love to be in the shallow where there is little to no current so they can soak up the sun to the fullest. They live in symbioses with an algae type. This algae is photosynthetic. The algae are absorbing the sunlight and out of this process sugars are made. The algae will deliver the sugar again to the jellyfish and in return the jellyfish is providing the algae with a safe forever home.

Protecting wetlands means protecting the habitat of numerous creatures and that’s one of STINAPA’s many responsibilities. It’s why shallow seagrass beds have lines around them so they are not trampled and thus may continue to give home to the Cassiopea and other wetland inhabitants!
