    Since the traffic operation began on Monday, 80 infractions have been issued, with 20 vehicles being sent to the impound yard, due to lack of documents being available. Islanders are urged to renew their expired plates and to carry their documents. Violations range from 10 daily minimum wages to 90 days minimum wages which is equivalent to 5733 pesos. (The daily minimum wage in Q Roo is ~$5usd/day , so ten daily minimum wages is ~$50usd, and 90 daily minimum wages is ~$450usd)

Sale of false silver continues

Venta de alpaca por plata persiste[+] Ver mas

An unnamed jeweler alleges that a visitor purchased merchandise that was misrepresented as silver along the Rueda Medina boardwalk this week. For this reason, the jewelry shop owners want the Federal Protection Agency (PROFECO) to also monitor the stores that sell crafts, because they are also selling jewelry. PROFECO had previously inspected jewelry stores, placing signs regarding poor business practices on 13 of the stores, in response to complaints from tourists, in an attempt to end practices that are tarnishing the reputation of the island.

Unprepared for the season
Impreparados para la temporada [+] Ver mas

 Por Esto claims to have  gathered data indicating that at least 70 percent of the Isla Mujeres fishing fleet is not in adequate condition to sail during this upcoming lobster season, because their engines are old and have not been replaced. The five fishing cooperatives have a large number of motors that are beyond their two year warranty, which represents an increased risk of accidents, stranding, and loss of fishermen.  The five cooperatives have about 200 boats, and PE says less than one third have good engines that ensure a return to port. PE says it is urgent that the subsidy program for outboard motors for fishermen be expanded.
   The fishermen are undercapitalized and may not be able to replace their motors within two years, which is the life of a four stroke motor. The cost of a 60 horsepower motor is 178,000 pesos, for which there has been a subsidy for 40% by the federal government and 30% by the state government, with the fisherman paying the remaining 30%.  In addition, the fishermen must maintain their boats, and fishing gear including nets, traps, and diving equipment.
     The Fishing Federation of the Cooperatives of Quintana Roo is recommending prices of 420 pesos/kilo for lobster tail and 220 pesos/kilo for live whole lobsters.
