More than 50 employees of the vehicle ferry company, Maritima Isla Mujeres, received training at seminar-workshops which focused on three major areas: Prevention of Pollution, Care of the Boats, and, most importantly, Human Lives at Sea. This included knowledge of instructions and procedures during accidents, in order to prepare for any eventuality or emergency that may occur during working hours, and to avoid mishaps.
The instructor was with the company M& P Survivors of Mexico based in Tampico. The training was concluded on Friday, and employees who were taught included people 'on the ground', such as maintenance personnel, and those in administration.

We continue working together every day to make our island a better place for our families & we are continuing to repair the streets.
Sigamos trabajando juntos para que nuestra isla cada día sea un mejor y más digno lugar para nuestras familias. Seguiremos reparando calles.
In order to have a better planet for all humans, we start by raising awareness among the children. The municipal Department of Ecology had an booth for this during the Mega Event "Committed to You".
Si aspiramos a un mejor planeta para la vida humana, empecemos por concientizar a los más pequeños. La Dirección de Ecología en acción durante la Mega Jornada Comprometido Contigo.

Naval Department evicting fishermen from area of Federal Zone
http://www.tvislamujeres.com.mx/…/secretaria-de-marina-des…/
Photo at link.
There is an area of the Federal Zone of about 120 square meters, which adjoins the area of the vehicle ferry, which has been used by fishermen for over 30 years. The Secretaria de Marina (Ministry of the Navy) are reclaiming this area and evicting the fishermen who keep their boats there, many of whom are advanced in age and practice "pesca riberena" (fishing in coastal areas).
This area had been supervised by the Quintana Roo Port Authority. It is noted that there were two motors stolen from boats kept in this area a couple weeks ago. There has been an outcry on social media showing support for the older fishermen, who never obtained a concession for this area, perhaps due to lack of knowledge or interest.
