Fishing boat ran aground near MUSA (Underwater Sculpture Museum)

Concern about possibility of diesel spill

A unos metros del Museo Subacuático de Arte: Temen derrame de diesel

ISLA MUJERES, 12 de noviembre.-

A fishing boat from the state of Campeche ran aground last night near Punta Sur/ South Point, in the vicinity of the Underwater Sculpture Museum, MUSA, without causing major damage, according to preliminary reports. There are concerns that the "Fipesco 51" could have an oil spill at the time of repair because it has damage near its front bow, and there are reefs about 500 meters from the area where it ran aground.
        It is reported that this occurred around 10pm yesterday because the captain of the fishing vessel did not know that the entrance area of the Bay of Isla Mujeres is approached from the area of Punta Norte / North point. Staff from the Naval base in Isla Mujeres arrived on the scene  immediately, and the boat remains where it ran aground near Punta Sur.
      In the morning the scene was visited by personnel from the Marine Park and agents with PROFEPA, the environmental protection agency Procuraduría Federal de Protección Ambiental.  They all agreed that there was no damage to the reef because the boat went aground in a sandy area, about 500 meters from MUSA.
     There is an ongoing potential for an oil spill because the fishing boat contains hundreds of gallons of fuel in its tanks. There is a large gap in the hull of the ship, at the bow area and it is fully seated on the seabed. When the incident occurred the boat captain was Bartolo Cruz Pulid.

Concerned that mobile vendors are returning to the beaches, the City implemented a security operation in advance of the hoisting of the White Flag tomorrow that certifies this is a beach of the first quality. Apparently there was a threat or concern that the vendors would hinder the certification of the beaches  which is scheduled to occur before noon tomorrow. The mobile vendors were evicted from selling on the beaches about three months ago.
       The security operation was conducted by the police officers of the Public Safety Department and by inspectors from the enforcement department  Fiscalización from nine in the morning until six in the evening. The White Flag ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow morning, and the security operation is expected to begin at 5am and to continue until about 6pm.

The Alcoholic Anonymous organization is focusing on students in fifth and sixth grade in primary school, middle schools students, and high school students, as well as the parents, with an ongoing program to provide information and prevention about the problem of alcoholism, in cooperation with the municipal government. The organization conducted a press conference following their convention in Cancun this weekend.
      The municipal government welcomed the agreement and agreed that the problem of alcoholism is serious in the township. They are also activating a process where drunk drivers are channeled to Alcoholics Anonymous, in accordance to the Traffic regulations, which has proven effective for addressing this problem.

Bus service suspended again
A resident who lives in the area of colonia La Gloria called the newspaper to report that bus service has been suspended for the second time in less than two months, apparently due to a mechanical failure. She said this causes problems with getting her two children to school, because taking a taxi is expensive. She also complained that it is inconvenient to wait for a bus that never comes, and the  company gives no notifications when the service stops. 
     She said, "I know the Mayor has many concerns, but I ask that we be given help to put the bus back to work, because in fact this affects me a great deal. My husband is a groundskeeper and does not earn a lot of money. We have two children; one in grade school and the other in high school, and this is costing us a lot of money."

  Asking to apply laws about wages of officials
Piden se aplique ley sobre salario de funcionario[+] Ver mas
 The municipalities have until December to prepare their budgets for 2015, which should include the wage rates for the workers and other employees of the municipal government, including the officials. The City Council has been working on a draft, but the figures have not been released. The document then goes to the Legislature for approval. It is asked that the wages be published, and reference is given to Article 22 of la Ley para la Regular las Remuneraciones de los Servidores Públicos de los Poderes y de los Órganos Autónomos de Quintana Roo/ the Law for Regulating Remuneration of Public Servants of the Powers and Autonomous Bodies of Quintana Roo.  "The municipalities have until December to prepare their expenditure budgets, in which the salary scale for workers and the people's representatives should be included, which they must do with adherence to the new law regulating wages, in order to prevent abuses in the allocation of the salaries of those who approve the budget and injustice on the poor workers and city employees that really work.

 Isla Animals campaign for the upcoming November Clinic-Spay-Neuter-Educate
Sally Margolis  on FB....
Hi everyone, I just posted a campaign for an Isla Animals November Spay/Neuter & Education clinic. The only way to make change is through education of pet owners and particularly education of the children-and spay/neuter campaigns. At the last big IA campaign 220 animals were spayed/neutered. There will be an education station at this clinic and Isla Animals is also set to go to the schools. Please continue to support an organization that has made great strides with 15 years of steady service to the island. And please, please help us share this campaign! Thank you! "This is Lucky's campaign, let's make it everything it can be." -  http://www.gofundme.com/IslaAnimalsNov
