About
Lee Harris, co-owner of the Sunset Waters Beach Resort located at the mouth of the Sta. Martha bay in Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles, came to the island in 1999 and became captivated by its natural beauty, in particular Sta. Martha Bay. He promoted eco-tourism to the island, created eco-adventures for his resort patrons, and developed a snorkel trail in front of the resort, not only for tourists but also to provide the local community with the opportunity to learn about the beautiful coral reef and other marine life located just off-shore. In his memory the Lee Harris Memorial Preservation Fund (LHMPF) was established by his wife, Ricki Blumberg Harris, in 2003.
Unfortunately Sunset Waters closed it’s doors in the summer of 2009, but Lee’s legacy lives on in the projects organized by LRP, which directly benefit the children and communities of Band ‘Abou.
