50% fewer lobsters caught

  The fishermen reported an excellent beginning of the season in July, but over the weeks, production has been declining, which is attributed to factors such as the weather and poaching during the four month ban on lobster fishing. During the month of July, the cooperative "Caribe" collected 2910 kilos, (of which 85 kilos were tails and 2125 kilos were live lobster), while last year in July they harvested 1836 kilos. In August this year they got 2350 kilos (of which 641 kilos were tails and 1392 were live lobster), while last August they captured 2500 kilos. These days while they are restricted to port by weather, they have been mending their nets. They say they never lose faith that there are better times to come and they will be able to go out to work to provide for their families.
 So, compared to last year:
  July:  1074 more kilos 
August: 150 less kilos
That means this year in July and August, Caribe coop caught 924 MORE kilos than last year, which is nearly a tonne of lobster.

With the official close of the whale shark season scheduled for Sept. 17th, the licensees are planning a Mass to give thanks for the benefits they have received during the season. This event will take place on Wednesday, Sept 18 at the monument to the whale shark, with ~100 licensees and their families expected, and an invitation is extended to the general public. After the mass a potluck is planned, and municipal authorities are expected to attend. The licensees say they had a good season, in spite of the weather in recent days, which has kept them in port.

Poor weather at the closure of whale shark season The Harbor Master said the whale shark tour boats have been restricted to port since Tuesday, due to poor weather conditions from tropical wave #19, which may continue to affect them until the season officially closes on Sept 17. There are 243 permit holders in the region of which 135 are from Isla Mujeres, 83 are from Holbox, and 25 are from Cancun. Many have concluded their season, but some are hoping for good weather on Sunday, so they can take advantage of the last two days of the season. Harbor master Ismael Gonzalez Gil said on Saturday night it will be decided whether the port will be closed on Sunday. He said that he also restricted the boats over 40 feet, because the waves are larger out at that distance, and his intention is  to keep tourists safe who want to swim with the world's largest fish.

  Por Carlos Gasca > Quequi.-     With the municipal economic crisis, the fishermen have given up hope of receiving aid from the City, but there is a state and federal program that may provide the ~200 fishermen with employment during the four months when lobster fishing is banned from March through June. It will be developed thru the Ministry of Social Development SEDESOL. The fishermen will be hired to clean up and rehabilitate beaches for minimum wages.

Complaint about high school fee

Reclaman cobro ilegal de colegio de Bachilleres

Sábado 14 de Septiembre de 2013 17:12 Jesús Molina DIARIO RESPUESTA

An anonymous woman who said she is a parent of a high school student showed a receipt to the reporter for 350 pesos, which she said was required after they had already paid their school fees. It says "parental contribution" and has the signature of the Bachilleres school director. She says that educational authorities should intervene because this fee was not agreed upon by the parents.

Twenty five years ago,  on the night of Sept 13, Hurricane Gilberto struck the island. On Sept. 14 there was a 'river' dividing the island, near Aeropuerto, and boats in the streets.

 (Now those few days of rain we had don't seem so bad from that perspective, ay? Btw, no rain yesterday, and the sun is shining today!)
