New scientific paper highlights urgent need to address wetland loss in the Dutch Caribbean, including Sint Maarten

A new scientific paper highlights the urgent need to address overlooked wetland loss across the Dutch Caribbean, including Sint Maarten. The study identified over 4,500 hectares of often small, scattered salt marshes on Aruba, Curaçao, and Bonaire. These vital coastal ecosystems are frequently excluded from global maps and policy, underscoring the critical need for their immediate inclusion in planning.
