WILLEMSTAD - No more confusion about who should repair a broken palapa or picnic table on a public beach. That is the goal of agreements made between Ministers Cooper of VVRP (Urban Planning) and Pisas as Minister of GMN (Public Health). They have signed a protocol.
Public beaches formally fall under the Ministry of VVRP, but they have insufficient funds and personnel, so they outsource the management and associated costs to the Ministry of Nature and Environment, GMN. In turn, GMN is responsible for reef, coast, and beach management.
