. It is noted that the Maritime Terminal in Isla Mujeres had a 20% increase in arrivals, compared to last year, during the summer months of July and August, with 600,000 passengers.
There are three other public works projects planned in Quintana Roo. One is a new terminal on the border with Belize, at Chetumal, to connect with tourism from Belize and to improve transportation infrastructure. The second is an interactive museum in Cozumel for children and teens to learn the importance of maritime signaling and how ships dock. The other project is the reactivation of Puerto Morales, to make it more functional with better infrastructure for commercial activity. These three projects will involve an investment of 60 million pesos.

Hi all!! We (Isla Animals) are gearing up for a HUGE Spay/Neuter, Vaccination, Wellness campaign for the animals in Rancho Viejo Nov 17-22. This is a very poor area in the municipality of Isla Mujeres. Most are living without electricity and running water. The situation for the animals there is dire right now with parvo & distemper running rampant, and heavy overpopulation. We expect to treat/vaccinate/spay/neuter 1000 cats & dogs with the cost of surgery at just $10us per dog. This may be the only time any of these animals see a vet. We can treat the existing animals, vaccinate others against disease, curb the population growth, and educate pet owners on proper animal care and make a HUGE DIFFERENCE!! We have the knowledge, experience, volunteers, and heart to make it happen. We are asking for all of your help to raise funds to make the campaign a reality. (We can also accept Paypal donations via our site islaanimals.org - just add RANCHO VIEJO in message, and cash in person on Isla Mujeres. Please, please share the link on your social media. It helps us so much. If you are not in a position to donate PLEASE do read the campaign & share, there is lots of excellent info in it about the work we do-There is always so much to do! Thank you for your time! http://www.gofundme.com/isla-animals-rv
