ISLA MUJERES, 19 de mayo.-
The President of the Asociación Civil de Permisionarios para el Avistamiento y Nado con el Tiburón Ballena de Isla Mujeres, (Civil Association of Isla Mujeres of Licensees for Swimming and Observing the Whale Sharks), Marcelo Cupul Ku, says on Thursday a change was made in the Management Plan, which now states that each t our boat can only carry six tourists, rather than the previous ten passengers.
He said, "With six tourists aboard each boat, they would be charged a total of 6000 pesos. However, more than 5000 pesos must be spent on fuel, which doesn't leave enough money to pay for food and the crew's wages, let alone to make a profit."

Environmental program of solar irrigation
Programa ambiental de irrigación solar [+] Ver mas Photos & full article at link
May 19 A group of residents have initiated a project of solar drip irrigation, using sea water and recycled plastic containers, as part of a plan to rescue green areas of Isla Mjeres. Plans for the project were announced in 2015, and it was implemented two nights ago at the area near the downtown basketball court "Jose del Carmen Patstrana" (by the Town Square).
Next it will be initiated at the baseball field "El Pescador" and along the main roads in colonia La Gloria. In the following phase, they will be placed at more points along Rueda Medina's sea walkway, and more volunteer participation will be sought. There will be no money required, except for signs, but residents will be asked to help take care of them, to prevent vandalism.
Several large ("family sized") plastic soft drink bottles are placed every 20 meters, and inside each is a smaller bottle (and both are cut). Seawater is placed in the smaller one and with solar evaporation, there are drips to water the plants. After a week, another ~3 liters of seawater are placed in each bottle, and a salty sediment forms in the lower container, which can eventually be used for human consumption.
This was explained by one of the promoters of the project, Guadalupe Gonzalez, who said this technology has been used extensively in several countries, and here they are involved with the associations "Cadis" and "Punto Verde". They are receiving help from the Ecology Department, providing facilities.
