Orco Bank Bonaire Celebrates Second Year of Support for Annual ReeFiesta in Honor of World Reef Awareness Day

Orco Bank Bonaire is proud to announce its continued support for the 6th Annual ReeFiesta, hosted by the Reef Renewal Foundation Bonaire (RRFB). This event, held on Saturday, June 1st, coincided with World Reef Awareness Day, highlighting the global importance of coral reef conservation.

As a committed partner in preserving Bonaire’s unique marine environment, Orco Bank Bonaire has joined hands with the RRFB for the second consecutive year. Mrs. Judy Diaz, Country Manager for Orco Bank Bonaire, emphasized the significance of this partnership last Saturday.

"ReeFiesta is not just an event; it is a unique opportunity for divers of all skill levels to actively participate in coral restoration work. For non-divers, it provides a chance to witness firsthand the remarkable efforts of the nursery and restoration sites of RRFB," Diaz stated. "We all know that diving is a vital pillar of tourism in Bonaire, contributing significantly to the economic prosperity of our beloved island. The preservation and restoration of our coral reefs are therefore of immense importance to both Bonaire and its people."

Orco Bank’s involvement in ReeFiesta underscores the institution’s dedication to sustainable practices and community engagement. By supporting events like ReeFiesta, Orco Bank actively contributes to the conservation and rejuvenation of Bonaire’s coral reefs. The bank aims to inspire others within the community to join this crucial cause.

"Tonight, as we come together to celebrate ReeFiesta and World Reef Awareness Day, let us remember the power of collective action. Each one of us has the ability to make a difference, whether it is through active participation in coral restoration or by spreading awareness about the importance of protecting our marine environment," Diaz added.

The event was a resounding success, bringing together divers, environmentalists, and community members to work towards a common goal. Participants had the opportunity to engage in hands-on coral restoration activities and learn more about the vital role coral reefs play in Bonaire’s ecosystem.

Orco Bank Bonaire extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Reef Renewal Foundation Bonaire for organizing this impactful event and for their tireless efforts in preserving the island’s coral reefs. The bank looks forward to continuing its support for this and similar initiatives in the future.
