"The Department of Public Safety has enough vehicles and officers to ensure the safety of the islanders and visitors before and during the year-end holiday period," said Public Safety Director, Joaquin Poot Acosta. The police chief said the department has 13 cars and trucks, and 13 motorcycles, of which four are motocross type , five are Yamaha brand, and four are Suzuki brand. All the vehicles are operational and with the hiring of new officers in recent days, there is sufficient staff to ensure the safety of islanders and visitors before and during the year-end holidays.

The police
chief said the Mayor presented the department with four motorcycles and
four trucks a few days ago, which will be used equally on the island and
continental areas of the municipality. He said, "These new units will strengthen the work of patrols and with the recruitment of new staff, they will be able to attend to all the various parts of Isla Mujeres. We may also have checkpoints at different points of this vacation destination."

The information in this article has been translated, and it notes that construction of the dome for the Middle School on the island will begin after the road construction is complete, which began last month and should be completed before the end of the year. (A recent article that interviewed the municipal public works director and a manager of Aguakan reported that the expected completion date had been moved to January.) Some of the seven schools are in the Continental Zone of Isla Mujeres. Work has already begun on the dome at the island high school, Colegio Bachilleres.

Blue crabs: Forgotten
-
Ecología
Dejan en el olvido al cangrejo azul
0 17 de noviembre de 2014This year there has not been a campaign to protect the blue crabs when they cross the roads to deposit their eggs in the sea, and there is a lack of awareness that they need help for their conservation. In other times, organizations promoted campaigns and invited children to help rescue them. They are especially at risk in Sac Bajo, where the poor lighting there contributes to their deaths, while they are loaded with thousands of eggs. It is noted that it has been a little over a week since the changes in the leadership of the municipal Ecology Department. (The blue crabs migrate from the mangroves, mostly during the full moons in the fall.)

"Need to invest in security cameras"
‘Necesario invertir en cámaras de vigilancia’
0 17 de noviembre de 2014Juan Carrillo Figueroa, leader of the Chamber of Commerce in Isla Mujeres/ Cámara de Comercio en Isla Mujeres (CANACO), recommends that businesses invest in security cameras, although crime is not as high here as in other parts of the country. He said a few weeks ago, at his place of business, a tourist reported a theft of their cell phone. After reviewing the images, they were able to identify the thief, who was an foreigner from Israel.He said, "Unfortunately, the first impression of the tourist is to blame the waiter or bartender, because the phone was left sitting on the table, but that is not what happened and this showed who took the phone." He explained that to identify the thief, he offered the images to the tourist to use for filing a complaint.This also showed the honesty of his employees, which is something worth noting because often such an incident can soil the reputation of a destination, especially on social networks and the internet, he said.He said currently many companies are spending a lot of money for advertising campaigns on social networks, but he thinks they should purchase and install security cameras, which not only can be used to monitor a business remotely, but they are useful for the aforementioned reasons.

Modernizing the Eastern Malecon seawalk
Modernizan el Malecón Oriente
- Written by Diario Respuesta
- Category: Isla Mujeres
In recent month the City has initiated several improvements to give this tourist destination a better image, including the rehabilitation of the Eastern Malecon walkway along the sea. It has new solar lights that are salt-resistant, and appears modern and clean. This is part of the commitment of the municipal government, led by Mayor Agapito Magana. (The photo is taken on the west side of the isle, and probably relates to the improvements being done to prolongacion Rueda Medina, although it isn't specifically mentioned in this brief article.)

New permits for whale shark tours
Nuevos permisos para avistamiento del tiburón ballena[+] Ver mas
They will stop issuing 'multiple' licenses, and will only give one permit to each individual, for the viewing area in the Yucatan Channel, which has a total area of 379,266 hectares. The port authorities of Holbox, Punta Sam and Isla Mujeres will watch over their areas of responsibility, where the tourists arrive and depart. The Department of Communication and Transport (SCT), with SEMARNAT and the Department of the Navy / Secretarías de Marina (SEMAR) and the Department of Tourism Secretaría de Turismo (SECTUR) will work together to protect the world's largest fish during their season here from May to September each year. Whale sharks are protected under the law NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010, as a threatened species.
Representative with the Wildlife Department/ Vida Silvestre, Fernando Sánchez Camacho explained that the Taxation Department /la Hacienda (SHCP) will have access to the data of the 243 permit holders, for the transparency of the management of the whole area of 379,266 hectares, (including the Whale Shark Biospheres, which is the direct responsibility of CONANP), that ranges from the limits of the states of Yucatan & Quintana Roo to the southern part of Isla Mujeres, with various miles of sea inside.
According to the proposed official Management Plan, the Wildlife Department/Vida Silvestre will oversee the area known as Aguas Azules (Blue Waters), outside the perimeter of the biosphere, making it necessary to reset (reponer) the names on the permits that were authorized in 2013 which were in the names of the boat owners who had a permit with the Turismo Náutico of the SCT; ...and then I found this next bit kinda confusing, but seems to say the permit comes from CONANP, on the condition that there is authorization from the Wildlife Dept, and the permit must be in the name of the licensee . (....además que el permiso de la Conanp cumpla con la condicionante de tener autorización de la Dirección General de Visa Silvestre (DGVS), también a nombre del permisionario.)
Then the Taxation laws will apply concerning tax evasion, and this will be a means to combat the piracy that involves an estimated 20 private boats.
The Department of Tourism (SECTUR) is responsible for enforcing the law Norma Oficial Mexicana (NOM-09-Tur-2002) which states there will be specialized guides who are trained before the start of the season, (which is May 15-September 17). This year many local guides were supplanted by foreigners sent by travel agencies, who were not given the training in respect to the code of ethics, leading to bad practices during the swimming with the animals, causing problems for CONANP and DGVS.
Authorized boats must work one day on and one day off, depending on the color of their flag (representing even or odd). In the case of closure of the port, the boats registered with the SCT may go out on the next day and each boat may have a maximum of 10 tourists, regardless of its size (if its maritime safety certificate allows 10 passengers), and must respect the muelle de revisión (pier change?) authorized by the SCT, which in this case there will only be three points of departure and arrival, as noted in the official release & mentioned in previous paragraphs. (Holbox, Punta Sam and Isla Mujeres).
Each licensee will sign a letter of support for the Management Plan, agreeing to its implementation for ten years. A maximum of 1350 tourists may be taken out daily, which is half as many as last season. There was a warning that failure to attend to the authority of PROFEPA could result in cancellation of authorizations, if various rules are broken, but the details were not released at this time.
Also, the SCT will monitor the Marine Radio band used by the captains and guides, and complaints will be made against those who use it in a coarse manner.

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." -
