I am going to enclose a link to tbe Sea Turtle Conservation Bonaire Org website with a story which I found extremely upsetting. I received an email memo (which I am certain a lot of my fellow BT'ers received, as well) and I thought I would start this new thread so everyone on BT could be made aware of the recent activities at Boka Onima beach area.

Carole, who would be the best person to send a letter, the prosecutors office? The turtle foundation? I hope they get these guys...

I sent my note off to the SCTB directly. The email they sent out made reference to being able to do that. The email is on my "other" email address. I will see if I can grab it in a moment and post it here, too.

Glen, it sounds like there is more behind this than is being offered "up front". I guess "someone" figured that Boka Onima was not a very "popular" area for anyone and that maybe no one would notice or it would cause the "least damage" ?? Either way, it's not good.

They (the Gov.) are fixing a lot of roads right now with no money to pay. Makes you kind of wonder?

Definitely, Walt....someone "needed" or "wanted" this sand for a reason and it wasn't for the flow of rainwater, most definitely...IMHO, of course. Keep us posted if anything develops. Carole

Rubbish...pure rubbish...breaks my heart to think of a turtle trying to dig through coral rubble Carole...yes, if anyone has any more information, please keep us posted. I hope the protests make headway...

The initial report said that the sand removal was 'illegal'. If so, then everyone who is responsible, from orders to action, should be prosecuted. We shall see.
