Operators propose restricted access
A Tera Cora UTV plan submitted by Tour Operatornan Uni proposes a temporary closure to motorised traffic, a complete ATV ban and a marked route admitting no more than 300 UTVs per day, 24ora reported on November 11. The report says Aruba Birdlife Conservation declined to approve it and would not attend that day’s meeting.
The related summary proceedings are scheduled for November 12 at 2:30 p.m. before Aruba’s Court of First Instance. The proposal is not a court ruling or an agreed access policy.
GPS monitoring and environmental study proposed
The document describes a 15-kilometre-per-hour route limit, GPS monitoring for tour vehicles and controlled access between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Registered fishermen and Anabuï owners would retain access under the proposal. Operators would pay GPS costs while government would cover route preparation and signs.
Specific sanctions still require agreement. A proposed environmental impact study would run for 12 months from its start. A separate 24ora report describes ABC’s request for clarity about permitted routes and enforcement; neither report establishes an outcome of the November 12 hearing.
