There is a constant battle Stoplight Parrot Jim Brandon photo among corals and algae for space on the reef. If given the chance, fast-growing algal species will overgrow corals. Luckily, on a healthy reef there are urchins, parrotfish and other grazers that act as lawn- mowers, grazing algae down on a daily basis. Dr. Mumby gave a public lecture recently here on Bonaire and presented a con- vincing argument that if parrotfish are overfished, coral reefs suffer.

These urchins were responsible for much of the grazing of algae before their die-off. There is often this type of redundancy (where different animals serve the same func- tion) in coral reefs due to their high biodiversity. Since the urchins are still under- populated, the parrotfish are extremely important. So when someone asks why biodiversity is important, one of the reasons is this scheme of redundancy, so that if one animal suffers from a disease or dies off in a storm, others are there to carry out the same function.

Together with Aruba and Curaçao it forms a group referred to as the ABC islands of the Leeward Antilles, the southern island chain of the Lesser Antilles. The name Bonaire is thought to have originally come from the Caquetio word 'Bonay'. The early Spanish and Dutch modified its spelling to Bojnaj and also Bonaire, which means "Good Air". Coat of Arms Bonaire's capital is Kralendijk. Original inhabitants Bonaire's earliest known inhabitants were the Caquetio Indians, a branch of the Arawak who came by canoe from Venezuela in about 1000 CE. Archeological remains of Caquetio culture have been found at certain sites northeast of Kralendijk and near Lac Bay.
