From climate-smart aviation to environmental protections, the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management (IenW) is helping shape a more resilient Bonaire. Through smart systems, clear regulations, and long-term investments, the Ministry supports the island’s journey toward a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable future.
High-tech navigation. Local jobs. Real results. The Galileo Sensor Station, part of a European satellite project, boosts global positioning accuracy while creating opportunities here on Bonaire. It’s tech that connects the world and strengthens the island.
At Flamingo Airport, the Ministry is investing in energy-efficient LED runway lighting. The result: quieter nights for nearby residents and a safer, more sustainable air travel system that meets international standards.
Together with Rijkswaterstaat, the Ministry monitors groundwater quality and availability across Bonaire. These insights help prevent pollution, safeguard nature, and ensure a healthy living environment for everyone.
From permitting to enforcement, the Ministry is working to make public services faster, clearer, and more transparent, so that residents and businesses alike can count on strong protections and a fair process.
Sustainable infrastructure. Stronger institutions. Cleaner environments.
The Ministry’s role reaches deep into the heart of what makes a livable Bonaire possible and that makes them a key partner in this island’s future.
