After careful evaluation of the advantages and the risks of unauthorized cave exploring and documenting activities on Bonaire executed by individuals and/or organizations without any kind of government, CARIBBS’s official position is against the continuation of such activities. It is very clear to our society that at this point in time the risks greatly outweigh the benefits.

Considering the magnitude of the natural and cultural values of our caves and the fragility of these values, before such activities can take place, a minimum requirement of conditions must be met.

Among others, these conditions include government involvement, a (complete and approved) written strategic plan with very clear goals and objectives (preferably non-profit), leadership and involvement in the project by local people, proof of qualifications by the people involved and adequate management of communications, especially through social media.

At CARIBSS, we are working hard to obtain that kind of organization and management for the caves of our island.
