Susan: I had the same concerns that you do so I emailed Ramon today and he has assured me that the program is legitimate. In fact, he stated that the Bonaire Marine Park is going to match the funds that are provided by donors; therefore, I am going to send my $150 check on Wednsday to the address provided by Blue.

Is the donation tax deductible?

I would like to add that Stinapa bought a SONDE underwater sensor array back when Kalli was BNMP. She accumulated lots of data at various underwater locations for wastewater. This data was covering all aspects of wastewater, temp, dissolved oxygen etc etc. There should be a large data base to use at the marine park also. We have most of that data also as a backup here in Ohio in case Stinapa needs comparison data. They still should have the equipment.

SENSOR PROGRAM UPDATE:

By Bill and Donna Goodwin (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #310) on Sunday, August 5, 2007 - 11:02 pm: |
We held a fund raiser for the sensors and raised approx. $1120...(more money may still be coming). Bill put together a video from the last 4 years (covering 9 trips) featuring the "Best Of Bonaire." Mark Digiorgio, owner of Birmingham's ScubaVentures, supports this project, and he donated the use of his shop, refreshments, and 20% off coupons on anything in his store...including scuba lessons!!!

I have a related question. There seems to be a need for waste water treatment island-wide. I assume waste water treatment would be a governmental effort on Bonaire as it is here in the US and in the Netherlands. Is it possible to get an update on what plans the local and Netherlands Antilles governments have to modernize water treatment? Thank you for raising awareness on this critical issue. I pledge to make a $150 donation to the Light and Motion Sensor Project.

Hi Bruce, I don't have enough information to answer your question about the wastewater treatment other than to say you are absolutely right. From what I understand there has recently been a contract awarded to a company to build a treatment plant. That is all I know. But let me say thank you!!!! for your interest in donating to the Sensor Program! Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions.

Hi everyone, Burt Jones will be giving a presentation on Wednesday, August 22nd at Habitat beginning at 8:30 pm. This is going to be a fascinating and very informative evening and anyone on-island with questions about the Sensor Program will have a chance to ask them. Please see below for more details. Hope to see you there!
