Seaweed on Continental Zone beaches
Playas en zona continental sufren por sargazo0 27 de julio de 2015
Por Carlos Gasca Quequi
At Punta Sam, some hoteliers had invested in machinery to clean away the seaweed, but there are areas where the machines cannot enter, and the odor chases away tourists. This is a problem that ferry users at Punta Sam are having to endure, as well as the boats providing Whale Shark Tours, which dock there.

Lifeguards keeping the beaches safe
Guardavidas velan por la seguridad en las playas d.. [+] Ver mas
The lifeguards make more than 200 recommendations daily to prevent accidents to both adults and minors, with about 2000 tourists concentrated at Playa Posada del Mar, Playa Norte, and Playa Media Luna. The latter (Half Moon Beach) is dangerous due to whirlpool currents, and has claimed several lives over the decades. There are two lifeguards assigned to this beach.
Jesus Pacheco is one of the two lifeguards at the Posada Beach, working where it connects with North Beach. Although there are buoys delineating this swimming area, some people continue farther out into the area where there is a mild current and become alarmed, therefore it is his job to prevent problems and to monitor the ~200 people in that area.
Walking the beach, you will encounter four more lifeguards, because there are a total of eight. There are lifeguards in the towers, whose installation needs to be renewed, as one was at the point where the Posada beach and North beach border each other. Along with the tourist police, their job is also 'orientation' , and they attended to a case of sunstroke in an elderly person. They provide information to people regarding occupying the available areas of the beach, since various federal zone concession holders have set up loungers and there is a fee to use them.
Roberto Juarez estimated that there are about 700 linear meters (.7 km) of beach occupied by people of limiteed means, in two main sections, and he observed that there are more people than usual.
Personnel of the Navy are also conducting patrols on the beaches to provide assistance, in coordination with Civil Defense, Red Cross, Public Safety (police) the Harbor Master, and the Federal Zone concession holder.
The Port Authority of Quintana Roo (APIQRoo) provided unofficial, preliminary data, reporting that 12,000 to 13,000 passengers daily are passing thru its installations (The Maritime Terminal), with about 15,000 daily on the weekend, not including those who arrive at the private docks.
SEMEFO of the PJE has become a white elephant

Five years ago, there was an announcement that the facility of the Department of Forensic Medicine (SEMEFO/the Medical Examiner) would be opened in a few months, as soon as it was completely equipped, but it has never been occupied by the Procuraduría General de Justicia de Quintana Roo (PJE, Attorney General of Q Roo). It has been vandalized, and in recent days the glass in the doors and windows has been broken. Residents want the state and municipal governments to renovate the property and put it to use, either for its original purpose or for some other use.
