Crabs: Without protection
Cangrejos, sin protección[+] Ver mas
Unlike previous governments, the current Department of Ecology is not promoting the protection of red and blue crabs during their spawning period, say some who promote this plan. In recent years, vehicle checkpoints were placed around the island and Punta Sam, which were manned by residents and NGO's who are committed to conservation. Drivers need to slow their speed in the areas where the crabs cross the roads during their migrations to the sea to lay their eggs. They are seen at night in Sac Bajo, near Mundaca, and at Punta Sur, as well as in the mainland areas of Isla Mujeres near the archeological ruins of El Meco and at Punta Sam. There are no signs to warn motorists, and the private and public schools students are not protecting them this year. There is no tradition of predation of this species, but it is said that in the northern part of Sac Bajo there are construction workers, for example from Tabasco, who come to capture them for cooking.
