Celebration of whale sharks Celebrarán al tiburón ballena
.
Por Ovidio López
- Isla Mujeres
.After giving information about the parade, this article says a scientific presentation was anticipated about the advances made of investigations of this species, but in fact according to the data collected the level of protection offered by the tour providers who bring tourists to the area is not good. There have been violations of the agreed upon standards for some years, to not harass the animals, but there are videos and photos of them being "penned" by a dozen boats. PROFEPA (Federal Environmental Protection Agency) has not sanctioned anyone for this. The Mexican Navy also performs inspections at their discretion (realiza una inspección discreta), while the Port Authority says it monitors the exit points. There have been allegations that boats under 40 feet went out when the port was closed to small boats because of strong waves/currents. (fuerte marea). Although the guides are trained that are on the tour boats with permits, but there are complaints of boats operating who do not have permits. The article says coordinated inter-agency efforts are urgently needed between the Navy, PROFEPA, and the associations of the tour providers.

Improved tourist activity
On Wednesday, boat tour business improved and tourists were taking advantage of the suns rays at the beautiful beaches and waters of this destination. People were swimming and playing volleyball and soccer, as well as resting and having massages. At the beginning of the week, there was concern about the arrival of tropical wave number 3, but the weather improved by Wednesday when normal nautical activities resumed. Tourists were taking tours to El Farito, Isla Contoy, and other destinations offered by the islanders. The Harbor Master opened the port on Tuesday afternoon for navigation by small boats, and the fishermen and operators were able to go back to work. He said the forecast for today is improved, but this weekend a tropical disturbance could cause rains and high winds.
The restaurant sector also rebounded on Wednesday, and it is hoped that improved tourism will continue next week, since the lobster season is about to start (July 1) which brings multiple economic benefits to the restaurants since tourists visiting Isla Mujeres enjoy consuming these types of dishes.
Incubating more that 14,700 turtlesResguardadas más de 14 mil 700 tortugas+] Ver mas
So far this year, at the Tortugranja (Turtle Farm) they have rescued 127 nests and are incubating 14,773 turtle eggs. Efforts by staff and volunteers began in May, and this year they are expecting to exceed last year's statistics. After the eggs begin hatching, there will be public turtle releases, which are events that contribute both to tourism and to public awareness about turtle conservation. The head of this program, Esteyne Ruíz Batúm, head of the Parks & Museums Department, reminded people not to consume turtle products, noting that this species is endangered and their consumption has been banned for several years. (varios años) (Mexico declared a ban on hunting sea turtles & eggs in 1990 source: NPR)

From MVC B&B : June Events
Friday June 21: Summer Solstice
Fri-Sun June 21-23: Whale Shark Festival See below for events
Sat & Sun June 22 & 23 : Super Full Moon (6:50, 7:50, & ~hour later nightly)
Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year. BTW the serpent shadow moving on the steps of Chichen Itza occurs with the Equinoxes.
Super Moon of June: The biggest brightest moon of the year
This year the Supermoon will be up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than a typical Full Moon is. This is a result of the Moon reaching its perigree — the closest that it gets to the Earth during the course of its orbit. During perigree on June 23 the Moon will be “only” about 221,824 miles away, as compared to the 252,581 miles away that it is at its furthest distance from the Earth (apogee). Source link

The Morning/Early Edition has newspaper photographs and headlines.
This Afternoon/Final Edition has translated articles, events, and original photos with the "Around the Internet in the Past 24 Hours" section.
Both blogs always have links to the original articles.
Usually if there is a headline, but no translation, it was probably published in another paper recently, and the information was translated.in a previous post, usually in the past couple days.

Too many boats going out to find the whale sharks. This needs to be more strictly controlled; the problem is not the boats leaving IM, it is the unregulated boats leaving private docks from Cancun.
