Bureau of Land Management - Gonave



Bureau of Land Management - Gonave

The first government office Gonave should create is the Bureau of Land Management.  This is very important as it will have regulations of what can and can’t be built, and guidelines setup for preserving nature.

BLM Gonave will assume the land rights of the entire island of Gonave, which is about 286.9 sq. miles or  65,000 acres.  Individuals, who currently have homes on the island, will have their own plot of land, and programs would be in place to establish proper housing.  While this may appear to be a welfare system, it actually is a system to set standards for future housing on Gonave.  Given that individual will claim land, that they did not buy, bargaining would take place where BLM would build the homes, and designate a plot, and deed the property over to the individual.

BLM would be very important in regulating the natural resources on the island, such as oil, natural gas, minerals, and native vegetation.  In addition to this, BLM would protect the native wildlife, and even create recreational areas, and national parks on Gonave.   

BLM would have a few employees locally and internationally for support.  These employees will have surveyors, geologist, botanist, chemist, etc.  

Due to the extensive amount of oil under Gonave, land regulation is very important to protect the interest of Gonave and its people.  In the event an oil company wanted to drill in Gonave, they would have to pay monthly lease payments land parcels setup by BLM, and give a specific percentage of oil revenue back to BLM.  The BLM would then take any revenues from land leases, and natural resources and put this in a general fund.  This general fund would then go towards the ongoing development of Gonave.

Carnival Cruise to build port in Haiti/Carnival Cruise yo bati pò an Ayiti

I remember early on when writing this blog, I stated that Gonave should have a cruise company build a port in Gonave, and it would be a major boost to Gonave's economy.  I was told by a local group who wants to turn Gonave into its own country, that I was incorrect.  They said cruise companies don't build ports and that the local municipality has to do that.  Of course that is incorrect!   I knew this because once taking a cruise myself Carnival mentioned they built a port in Cuba and are waiting for the US to overturn somethings so that cruises from America to Cuba can happen.  So again Gonave, be sure you know who you are listening to, and what their goals are.  Here at Let's Build Gonave Haiti, we have a core group that does research before we speak. With that said, Carnival is building a port in Northern Haiti.  Check out the information here .  Now some feel cruise companies take the profits back to their home countries.  While that is true, it can help with jobs, a

La Gonave could serve as the template for all of Haiti

La Gonave has an opportunity to do it right the first time.  Meaning that if the right people get involved and their goal is to help the Haitians to help themselves, then La Gonave could serve as the template for Haiti. La Gonave has many advantages over the mainland.  For one, with a smaller population the needs of food, housing, water, etc are less, so programs that are developed could easy cover this small population.  La Gonave is a blank canvas, so streets can be placed based on results that other cities around the world have tried.  La Gonave can build it's economy on just about any industry, although tourism and agriculture are probably the prime industries.  The list goes on and on. My point is that if done correctly, and La Gonave is a modern and vibrant place.  If La Gonave could have the majority of it's population literate, and that there are enough schools for every child.  If La Gonave could have a strong economy similar to the Bahamas, then it would serve as

Flag of Gonave?

Image
I created the image below.  I will explain why I choose the colors I choose. So three basic color were chosen to represent the future island nation of Gonave, which are yellow, sky blue, and green. I did research on flags, and why colors should be chosen, what colors shouldn't be put on a flag, the meaning of colors, how not to over complicate a flag, and make sure that a made can easily be remember by school age kids. So here it is, and I will explain the colors. First off, the green portion of the flag represents the green lush vegetation of the island.  It also means a land rich with fertile soil which provides the energy of it's people. The blue portion represents the bright skys over the island of Gonave.  The color is a sky blue, which shows a cloudless day, one with no storms, but of a clear day.  It also means that the sky is the limit.  Finally yellow represents the sun.  The sun is shining on a lush green nation on a cloudless day, and show a bright fu
