WILLEMSTAD - The Klein Curaçao project invites interested individuals to attend information sessions for the development of Klein Curaçao.
The main objective of these sessions is to provide detailed information about the focus of this initiative. The project aims to develop strategies to protect the natural resources of Klein Curaçao as a Ramsar site of international importance while allowing visitors and residents of Curaçao to use the area in a sustainable manner.
The European Union has made a financial commitment to the countries and overseas territories in the Caribbean under the 11th European Development Fund.
One of the projects is the "Development Plan for Ramsar Wetland of International Importance: Klein Curaçao." The Curaçao Ministry of Health, Environment, and Nature is the lead agency for the development of this initiative.
Separate sessions will be organized for different stakeholder groups, such as fishermen, tourism operators, the maritime sector, the tourism sector, and NGOs.
Project Klein Curaçao requests all interested parties to register as participants. The scheduled times for the stakeholder sessions are as follows:
Fishermen: Saturday, May 20, Caracasbaai Haven Portier: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Tourism operators: Monday, May 22, Scharloo: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

It is important to note that the European Union is financing this project through the Resilience, Sustainable Energy, Marine Biodiversity (RESEMBID) program. The RESEMBID program, worth 40 million euros, aims to support efforts for sustainable human development in the twelve overseas countries and territories in the Caribbean.
