On the 21^st of September, it was World Cleanup Day. World Cleanup Day is a global social action program aimed at combating the global solid waste problem, including the problem of marine debris. Here on Curacao, 3000+ volunteers cleaned up 1 million kilos of illegal waste from 45 different trash spots in our mondi, streets, coasts and underwater. Employees of Baoase participated aswell and cleaned the ‘Wageningenplein’. The result was amazing! They left with a big pick-up truck full of waste.

Did you know that Curacao is worldwide at the top for organizing Ocean Cleanups?

Last weekend the staff committee of Baoase organized a family fun day for Baoase employees.

Many outside games such as rummikub, a bouncy castle, jump rope, block walking, pull strings and play on the shuffleboard were organized. Everyone had lots of fun as you can see on the photos!  Next to all the games that were organized there were also plenty of snacks and drinks.

Everyone participated with lots of enthusiasm and It was a very successful day!

On August 8th non-profit organization Coral Restoration Foundation Curacao (CRFC) visited Baoase Luxury Resort to build a pop-up coral nursery. Over a 3 year period and partnership with CRFC, 240 corals will be hung on coral trees providing optimum conditions for growth. By the end of the partnership, it is the goal to have planted 1500 onto the reef.

Oliver Zahn and Jesse Zahn Van der Valk dove alongside Katie Leeper, Rat Dinardi, Pol Bosch and Liene Muzikante (photographer) from CRFC. It was an amazing experience for Oliver and Jesse, as they contributed to a great cause. The coral clusters which were planted, do not only improve the health of the reefs but also increase fish populations in the area.
