Ante entrada en vigor de vedas de mero y langosta
Lanrry PARRA
ISLA MUJERES, 9 de febrero.-
Leer más...The ban on fishing for grouper is from February 15 to March 15, to help them repopulate, and the fishermen must stop catching lobster at the end of February. This seriously affects production between March 1 and March 15th, and impacts about 300 fishermen, of whom only the ~60 from Patria & Progreso have the option of capturing commercial species to generate income. This is because they are the only cooperative involved in the capture of shark. The other four cooperatives are engaged in the capture lobster and fish with scales. During this difficult period of March 1-15, the fishermen must go out and capture other species that people are known to purchase, and that they can bring home for their families to consume.

Reports of slow lobster season
Reportan floja temporada de captura de la langosta
The season closes in about 20 days, at the end of the month, and has been rated as "fair to good" by workers in the industry. One factor has been the northern fronts which kept the fishermen in port at times. Another factor is that they have not been catching large numbers of the crustacean.

Representatives of CANIRAC and of the Tourism Advisory Council presented seven points to the municipal authorities that they would like executed by the next Director of Tourism, which include the need to enhance promotion and update regulations. Representatives are Baltazar Maldonado, president of the Chamber of the Restaurant Industry ( Canirac ) and Gerardo Magaña , president of the Tourism Advisory Council. The seven points are: updating the Tourist Assistance Regulations, implementing an immediate plan to promote the destination; diversification of cultural tourism; arrive at a settlement with the Attorney General of Quintana Roo to have bilingual agents in the Public Ministry of Common Law provide better care for visitors with cases of theft, improved attention to the business sector , promotion of Isla Mujeres in new market niches , and contar con herramientas de medición del hospedaje. Literally...count the lodging centers with measurement tools. Maybe this means conducting a census. Although it was not mentioned, the problem of noise pollution near hotels would also be an issue they want the new director to address.
The business community would also like the return of the PROFECO module, tourist police, and regulation of summer house rentals, among other issues. They are in favor of Jacinto Rios Najera as the new director. It is said that a social group will present another candidate for the position on Monday, according to unofficial information.
