Strong winds and large waves from the recurring cold fronts are accelerating erosion of the beaches at the northern part of the isle, causing concern among among restaurateurs and hoteliers in the area. The erosion has brought down two palapas, and in recent days several coconut palms have been affected.
The effects have been more severe since the geotubes, aka 'whales', have deteriorated, which are located near ChiChis and Playa Islander. At the time the geotubes were first placed, their cost was about 150,000 pesos, but now with the exchange rate declining, the cost could be doubled.

Health Committee meeting to establish strategies
On Thursday morning, the first Ordinary Session of the 2016 Municipal Health Committee was held at the Casa de Cultura, led by municipal Trustee Fidel Villanueva Madrid, on behalf of Mayor Agapito Magana Sanchez. He welcomed the committee members and thanked them for the hard work they do every day to maintain the good health of the island residents. The meeting included representatives of private and public agencies and social organizations to address mosquito borne diseases such as dengue, chikungunya, zika, and malaria.
This session focused on "Zika", which is transmitted by the same mosquito that spreads Dengue. The Health Director of Isla Mujeres, Tharin Sadat Casique, explained that Zika is now on epidemiological alert status, which was announced on January 15 of this year by the National Center for Programs for Disease Prevention and Control (CENAPRECE). He said complications from this disease include risk of birth defects or neurological problems to the unborn babies of pregnant women.
A presentation was given about Zika by the epidemiologist of the Isla Mujeres Community Hospital, Rosalia de la Pena. There was a review of the activities in 2015 against mosquito borne diseases on the island, as well as at Rancho Viejo on the Continental Zone.
