More gastrointestinal complaints with high temperatures
¡Aguas con males intestinales!
Por las altas temperaturas

ISLA MUJERES, 25 de mayo.-.
With these higher temperatures, there has been an increase in gastrointestinal complaints, particularly in young children and senior citizens. Health workers advise parents and the general public to avoid eating street food and to consume increased amounts of water to stay well hydrated. The warm temperatures of 30-35 degrees (Celsius) are expected to continue until the end of June, when the rainy season begins.
It is noted that recently the temperatures have ranged between 26 and 32, but the adjusted temperature feels like 35 to 40, due to the high levels of humidity. This can cause heat stress, with symptoms of dizziness, nausea, and depending on the severity, vomiting and fainting.
The effects of the high temperatures and low pressure systems are expected to continue until the end of June, when the rainy season begins. During this time, the community is advised to stay out of the sun, to ingest large amounts of water, and to follow the recommendations of the health authorities and Civil Protection, to avoid the effects of heat stress.
Visitors continue to arrive in large numbers by ferry

Many visitors continue to arrive on the Ultramar ferry to spend the afternoon on the island, generating economic activity for those providing services on the beaches, at restaurants, shops, golf cart rental agencies, and tour boats for sightseeing.
Hundreds of tourists begin arriving to this Pueblo Magico at 10am, which is considered a peak hour. No accidents have been reported.
It is estimated that hotel occupancy is about 65 percent, as a result of increased demand associated with the Cosme Alberto Martinez Fishing Tournament. That competitions included 114 boats, plus the families and friends of the fishermen, which generated a good economic benefit, according to the Director of Tourism, Gustavo Rodriguez Orozco.

Release of whale shark permits
Libera permisos de tiburón ballena.. [+] Ver mas
May 25 The Wildlife Department (DGVS), an agency of SEMARNAT, on this day began releasing the ~300 permits for whale shark tours in the waters offshore from the municipalities of Isla Mujeres and Lazaro Cardenas, according to several of the licensees. The Harbor Master of Isla Mujeres, Isamael Gonzalez Gil said that as of 2pm, no permit holders had processed their papers with his office. This is expected to happen at any time, but he was still unaware that the permits had been released.
According to the Management Plan, in 2016 the season was scheduled to begin on May 22, but the permits were not yet released at that date. There is a daily limit of 160 boats allowed in the whale shark viewing area.
Corpus Christi
On another topic, Corpus Christi will be held on Thursday, and will be commemorated at Mass at the Immaculate Conception Church (downtown) at 6pm and a procession at 7pm in the Town Square. The festival will take place at the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church (in colonia La Gloria), where there will be a mass at 8pm and a procession thru the main streets of La Gloria at 9mo. The family oriented festivities will include a ribbon cutting event, fireworks, and the musical group Los Marlins. The activities will be led by the priest Raul Sanchez Alonso.
No information about bus service: Contract expired
Hermetismo sobre transporte urbanol.. [+] Ver mas
It has been more than a week since the expiration of the contract with Isla Turicun to provide bus service, with no news from the City Council about whether the concession will be renewed. It is reported that the company has violated the terms of the contract during nearly all of the fifteen years of its term. Currently there is no bus service.
The contract came into force, under protest from the taxi drivers, on May 16, 2001, for a fifteen year period, terminating May 16, 2016. In principle, it would then be considered whether or not to attempt to renew the concession with Isla Turicun.
Laborers have difficulty getting to work when there is not bus service, as is currently the situation. There has been no information regarding whether the contract will be renewed with Isla Turicun from the committee who answer to the City Council on this issue. A reporter was unable to speak with Jose Magana Galue, who said he had other commitments at that time.
The opposition Councilman (el regidor opositor; who is with the opposing political party) Victor Osorio had no explanation, and was asked about the problem of workers lacking public transportation. He said, "The Council has shown similar behavior with other issues, which is worrisome. Actually, Isla Turican has not met the terms of the contract, and that problem has never been addressed by the City Council."
It is noted that the Isla Turicun company repeatedly failed to fulfill the terms of clause 15, and only operated one vehicle, during the day, which was about 15 yeas old. The contract said there should be three buses to cover two routes, providing public transportation between the hours of 6am to midnight, daily. Other terms include providing service until the conclusion of the contract period, respecting the set schedule, investing funds as needed to continue operations, maintaining their property, not assigning the contract to third parties, to accept and serve senior citizens, and to maintain the required number of vehicles in service, among other requirements.
