Continue to wait for whale shark permits
Continúan a la espera de zarpar

ISLA MUJERES, 15 de mayo.-
Leer más...Although May 15th was the official start of the whale shark sighting season, none of the 243 concessions of Isla Mujeres could sail, due to a lack of authorization from the Federal Wildlife Department. The Harbor Master was unable to deliver the permits because they were not issued, but he said it is most likely that the whale shark sighting season will begin next week. He said he does not know what number of vessels will be allowed to sail to the designated area, which depends on the number of permits that are issued by the agency. According to the new amendment to the Management Plan for Whale Shark Sighting, only one permit will be granted to each worker, and not a half dozen or ten or a dozen, as happened last season. In this regard, there may be only about 100 vessels that are able to work this season. The concession holders want the amendment to be applied next season, rather than this season.

On Teacher's Day the mayor, Agapito Magana Sanchez, gave an emotional speech in tribute to active, retired, and deceased teachers. The event took place at the newly repaired and remodeled monument to teachers and was attended by officials, special guests, teachers, and educational workers. The Mayor was thankful and spoke about education as a fundamental pillar of his governmental program. The municipal trustee (and town historian) Fidel Villanueva gave a brief account of the history of the first schools on the island. Raciel Román Valerio, the island's representative for SNTE, said that although among teachers there are different ways of thinking, but they are bound together by the common desire to create a better town, state, and nation through education. The speech of the Director of Economic Development was described as 'moving', and a former teacher spoke nostalgically. Then the program was closed with a poem dedicated to the teachers who are deceased, which was followed by a respectful moment of silence and the placing of a wreath.

SEMEFO building: "White elephant"Ciudad
Edificio de Semefo “elefante blanco”
0 15 de mayo de 2014The building for the Medical Examiner's office remains abandoned and has never been operational. It has suffered from a leaky roof, vandalism, and theft. Last year, the then Director General of Administration, Horacio Coral, intended to rehabilitate the property. Several months ago the Attorney General Armando Garcia Torres said that SEMEFO would be opened as soon as possible, but due to many irregularities and structural damage, the property could not be made operational, despite the considerable investment made in the purchase of equipment.
Por Carlos Gasca > Quequi .- El inmueble continúa abandonado y nunca entró en operación.
