As part of an educational effort about the environment to transform certain negative behaviors, a clean up day was held on Saturday morning in an area of mangroves, which was coordinated by the municipal Department of Ecology.
Participants included students, volunteers, and employees & Directors of various municipal agencies including: Public Services, General Services, and Civil Protection. There were high school students from Colegio Bachilleres and members of the Isla Mujeres Tourism Cooperative. They worked in Sac Bajo, and removed more that a tonne of garbage, which was mainly glass and plastic bottles, and cigarette butts, as well as other types of trash.

ISLA MUJERES, 7 de noviembre.-
The Harbor Master, Ismael Gonzalez Gil, held an informational meeting for the divers and diving agencies of Isla Mujeres to advise them about new guidelines from the Ministry of Tourism which are planned for next year, so that if they have an opinion, they may offer it to the federal agency, which is seeking new ways to regulate diving activities in general, including night diving.
A survey will be conducted as part of a project to put regulations into effect which will concern the treatment of diver tourists, guides, and will include requirements about issues such as who may dive, what age, what type of equipment, and who the instructor may be. The Ministry of Tourism plans to begin regulating these activities during early next year. The project is currently in the opinion gathering stage.

Federal Electrical Commission advises regarding false emails
FCE niega mensaje en e mails.. [+] Ver mas
The CFE, Federal Electrical Commission is using social networks to spread the message about false information that is being spread via emails. The emails allege there is a debt owed by the agency to their clients and gives a false contact email that is not their official customer service account. The email does not contain the clients service information such as their account number, and is accompanied by an attachment which cannot be opened. The official customer service email is servicioalcliente@cfe.gob.mx”
There are also intimidating emails being sent which falsely claim to be from the SHCP, Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, which lack a link to SAT, the Tax Administration System. The email claims to be a last notice for taxes, and say it is necessary to register the recipient's email.
It is noted that there is an online communication service which allows you access to digital documents and interact with tax authorities in a manner that is safe, reliable, timely, simple, and easy. You can receive documents from such agencies as the National Water Commission, the Mexican Social Security Institute, and others.

The voice of Joel Montero will dress up the Mexican Caribbean
The Mexican tenor returns to his native Quintana Roo to interpret the best of his repertoire in the framework of the Festival of Culture of the Caribbean 2015
After performing with great success in the main opera houses of Europe, the Mexican tenor, Joel Montero, returns to his native State of Quintana Roo in the framework of the Festival of Culture of the Caribbean 2015 which takes place in the Mexican Caribbean from the 3rd through the 22nd of November.
The singer, born in Chetumal, and who has opened his way to success through perseverance, his art and his mastery of his voice as an musical instrument, has been described by international media as a passionate singer with a powerful voice and emotional acting which has gained for him a privileged place on the stages of the Old Continent.
Among his awards and recognitions are the special award given to him at the international singing competition “Monserrate Caballe” in Andorra and the “Luigi Infantino” prize in Lugoj, Rumania.
Montero was part of the Opera Studio at the theater in Zurich, Switzerland and the State Theater in Meinigen, Germany and has been an invited soloist at different theaters in various cities in Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Finland and England, appearing, as well, with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
Next 14th of November, thanks to the Festival of Culture of the Caribbean, the Isla Mujeres public will be delighted by the voice that is conquering Europe when Montero will appear with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Quintana Roo, making all of his fellow Quintana Roo residents proud.

Celso Piña will enchant the Caribbean
This musician from the mountain region will be performing at the Caribbean Culture Festival 2015 in Quintana Roo which takes place Nov. 3-22. Celso Piña, better known as "the rebel of the accordion", will have the Mexican Caribbean dancing to la cumbia on November 14th, in Isla Mujeres, sharing the stage with Pato Machete.
The rhythms of this singer, composer, and arranger and icon of Mexican popular music in recent years, has confirmed his performance the festival. They will be bringing their distinctive sound that has enriched the cumbia with touches of other popular rhythms such as ska, reggae , rap and hip hop.
A born Musician, self-taught skill on the accordion, Pina provides a value beyond what is musical, and he represents an emblem of cultural Mexico today. This was demonstrated in the documentary film which he starred in, for the channel 11-one, and reinforcing the image immortalized in literature by Garcia Marquez, dancing to the rhythms of cumbias which are proudly made in Mexico.
So, the festival of culture in the Caribbean, it enriches the purest style "Sonidero" with the presence of the musician that since 25 years ago, has been one of the stars of the stage of the genre of cumbia.

From Sally Margolis 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.

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.
