Dutch Caribbean Nature Alliance supported by the Dutch Postcode Lottery

Since 2009 DCNA is proud to be a beneficiary of the Dutch Postcode Lottery (Nationale Postcode Loterij). Being one of over 90 charities supported by the Postcode Lottery, DCNA receives annually 500,000 Euro for its regional network of nature conservation organisations. This funding is non earmarked and can be used at DCNA’s discretion in accordance with DCNA’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, Board approved Multiyear Plan and Annual Action Plans.

About the Dutch Postcode Lottery

The Dutch Postcode Lottery was founded twenty-five years ago to generate a continuous flow of funds for charity organisations dedicated to ‘people’ and ‘planet’. These charities can be found worldwide, working in the fields of nature conservation, environmental protection, developmental aid and human rights. Today, the Dutch Postcode Lottery is Holland’s biggest and most popular charitable lottery and supports over 90 charity organisations worldwide. Fifty percent of the Dutch Postcode Lottery’s gross proceeds goes directly to the charities. Since its launch in 1989, the lottery has paid out more than 4 billion Euro to its beneficiaries.

Park Budgets and Action Plans


Park Action PlansIn accordance with the grant subsidy approved by the Dutch Ministry in November 2006, DCNA and the parks are required to submit action plans and budgets for the upcoming year before 1st November.

Of the Dutch Ministry’s support, Euro 190,000 is used to finance the DCNA Secretariat and part of the cost of annual audits. The remaining Euro 750,000 is deposited into an endowment trust fund, which will ultimately pay the basic operational costs of one marine and one land park on each island of the Dutch Caribbean.

As described in the Trust Fund Study (Feasibility Study of a Protected Areas Trust Fund: sustainable funding for the Nature Parks of the Netherlands Antilles, February 2005 www.dcnanature.org/donations/trustfund.html) and elsewhere, the operational management of protected areas has been clearly defined. The elements of park operational management are:

• Income related activities• Human resources (staffing)• Administration/Maintenance (including park infrastructure)• Research-Monitoring• Law enforcement• Information, education and outreach• Travel and training

The following generic action plan is provided for guidance and to help explain both the scope of the operational work of the parks in order to better understand the draft action plans submitted by each park management organisation.


Activities

Income related activities

Income related activities include collecting and reporting on government subsidies, if any, collecting and administering admission fees, franchises and similar, administering and reporting on grant funding, organising purchasing and sale of souvenir items and similar. Additionally parks may run ‘friends of …’ groups, actively solicite donations from the public and from corporate sponsors.

Human resources

A fully staffed park will typically employ a manager and assistant manager/chief ranger for each park as well as 4 rangers, an administrator and education officer. Additionally they might have dedicated project staff. Parks may also actively or passively run volunteer programmes, have interns, trainees and consultants working for them. Training and capacity building for staff are considered an integral part of staffing.

Administration/ Maintenance

Parks will typically serve as a secretariat for their Boards and will be involved in preparing and organising Board meetings, agendas and minute taking. General administration includes organising an office, correspondence, filing, book keeping, accounting, organising invoices and payments as well as all aspects of personnel management. Administration includes work planning and developing work schedules for staff, maintaining office and park facilities, running and maintaining vehicles, boats and communications equipment. Patrolling, surveillance and similar are core field administrative tasks. Planning, strategic planning management planning, zoning and budgeting as well as routine reporting are also core administrative tasks

Research – monitoring

Parks are all engaged at some level in collecting information on the state of their biological resources, use of resources as well as socio-economic data. Monitoring programmes, as well as being used to look at changes over time, are frequently run to address specific management issues. Site characterization is an important part of every parks dataset and information on the protected area and includes physical mapping, habitat maps and biological inventories. Additionally parks may run research projects to address specific issues such as the impact or control of invasive species or the impact of user groups on a resource. Damage assessment, evaluation as well as the effects of restoration work are other possible areas for research and monitoring work.

Law enforcement

Local and international legislation forms the basis for the legal protection of the park and enforcement of conventions, laws, rules and regulations is a core task of every park. Parks are engaged in interpreting the legislation for all user groups, providing guidance and advice as well as actually enforcing the law by issuing verbal and written warnings, giving summary fines and writing up offences. Other legal mechanisms such as permits and exemptions are useful tools to control and regulate activities in parks and parks are frequently involved in the permitting processes not only for activities with the protected area but also in adjacent buffer areas. Additionally parks provide emergency response and will be involved in identifying and developing appropriate response scenarios for high risk threats, emergency preparedness and on site damage assessment capabilities

Information – education

Parks are all engaged in multiple activities designed to provide information and to educate islanders, visitors and specific park user groups. Generally these are formulated in a communication plan and will include developing programmes for targeted audiences to increase knowledge about the park, change behaviour and/or build stewardship. Some parks have visitor centres or a museum with information on their protected area. Others provided guided tours, dives and hikes, have signage and outreach materials, including posters, brochures and leaflets (often in multiple languages). Parks actively engage their local media, write press material and hold interviews with TV and radio. In addition to snorkel programmes some parks have structured Junior Ranger programmes, school programmes, courses for local teachers. All parks have websites and most have some form of regular newsletter.

Travel – trainingAll parks are represented at DCNA Board meetings, additionally many attend international events and symposia. Training courses are organised for staff, these frequently include work exchange programmes with other islands as well as more formal training programmes.

Working with constituents

Another critical area of work for every park is working with its constituents. Parks work with decision makers to integrate management priorities into island and national planning, give advice, petition government and are frequently represented on government advisory boards, Partnerships are built with other organisations such as research institutions, conservation organisations and funders both on island and abroad to strengthen the park and to gain access to resources and expertise. Parks work particularly hard to engage stakeholders through a process of collaboration. Key contacts within each user group are identified, Parks often attend stakeholder meetings and vice versa, provide training, information and advice. Additionally some parks have structured or informal volunteer groups with whom they work on a regular basis.
