The damage to the mangrove is obvious along the Caribbean malecon, of the coastal road, and it is thought to have happened overnight. It is not know why it was cleared nor by whom, because there are no properties nearby. The plants help prevent the erosion of the coastal cliffs, and mangroves are protected plants.

DIF held dinner dance
The Tortugranja is a popular attraction in Isla
The Turtle Farm facility is popular with tourists, and has a program of conservation for the reproduction of sea turtles. As the nesting season approaches, staff will be allocated to monitor the coasts, and to move the eggs to the turtle farm for incubation, then the hatchlings are held in tanks to grow stronger, before they are released on the beaches of the island.
The cost to enter the aquarium of the facility is $3 dollars per person and it is open from 9am to 5pm. The reporter notes the tourists would benefit from guides to give tours and explain the conservation work and the exhibits.

por esto"Pirate" golf carts in circulation
Circulan carritos de golf “piratas” [+] Ver mas
Unnamed complainants said there are more rental golf carts circulating daily, some without plates, and others with only one plate. The plates come in pairs, so it is suspected that the same plates are being used on two different carts. The complainants want SINTRA to take a census of all the units on the island, and verify that the number of units corresponds to the number allowed by each concession. They also want the police to not take excuses and to impound all golf carts without plates or that just have one plate instead of a pair. It is pointed out that every day there are more golf carts being driven around the island without plates. The complainant said that excessive number of golf carts not only hurts the taxistas, it harms those rental agencies who work with the exact number of units they are authorized to have under their concession.
