Achievement at a glance
We conducted a site inspection next to landfill which was the worst affected area. The mangrove roots are very clean compared to before the ban. The guestimate for the adoption is approximately 80%. As of March 2018, enforcement is in place to close the gap to 100%. As of June 8, a foundation was launched together with private sector partners. On June 8, 2018 I also launched the national study I will conduct to measure the socio-economic impact. The goal is to learn and collect lessons learned so that these could feed into the next steps of future product bans. An executive summary will be produced so that this may serve as a scientific update to the commitment we made to Aruba, the UN and our ocean.
