Bonaire Mangroves Center

Mangrove forests are globally endangered ecosystems. They are also environments about which we know very little. Whilst mangroves around the world are threatened and many have been destroyed to make way for development or cleared for fisheries activities such as shrimp farming, the mangrove ecosystem surrounding Lac is protected both by local ordinance and as a wetland of international significance under the RAMSAR convention. The Bonaire National Marine Park actively manages not only the mangroves and sea grass beds at Lac, but also the island’s fringing coral reefs.
