ISLA MUJERES, 19 de junio.-
The Poder Judicial Courthouse, which was built more than 15 years ago, will be remodeled with an investment of 6.5 million pesos. The project has been approved and release of the funds is pending. The work should begin before the end of the year, and building is expected to be inaugurated by the next administration.
With the implementation of the new Criminal Justice System, various buildings around the state are being renovated. Buildings are also being remodeled in Cancun, Chetumal, and a new building is planned in Felipe Carrillo Puerto, where one of the ejidatarios has donated a hectare.
HERE is an article about the new Criminal Justice System from NPR, and HERE and HERE are articles in English from the Mexican Government.
Isla's five commercial fishing cooperatives have high expectations for upcoming lobster season
Tienen grandes expectativas
Pescadores de cinco cooperativas para la próxima temporada de captura de langosta

ISLA MUJERES, 19 de junio.-
There are high expectations among fishermen of the five cooperatives of Isla Mujeres about the next season's lobster catch which begins June 1 (sic, July 1). They hope to do well financially and gain several million pesos among the five groups, and to exceed last season's catch, according to the president of the Federation of Fishing Cooperatives of Quintana Roo, Baltazar Gómez Catzín. He said due the exchange rate of the peso against the dollar, the price per kilogram could exceed 400 pesos, since part of the local production goes to the US market.
It is estimated that 50 percent of the lobster caught in the waters off Quintana Roo are sold within the state, while the other half is sent to the United States and Europe. The official advised the fishermen to take all the necessary precautions, because the lobster are caught by diving, which is a high risk activity. He said it is important for the divers to have all the necessary equipment and safety systems ready before they begin diving in order to avoid suffering decompression.

June 19 The Isla Mujeres port was closed for small boats after 8pm on Saturday, which continued on Sunday, due to increasing winds from the east and the waves. Small boats were allowed to travel near El Farito, the lagoons, and Sac Bajo.
A weather report is given. (On Monday morning, we're having blue skies & sunshine. Yesterday, it rained in the morning and improved in the afternoon.)
Weather reduces visitors to beaches
Pocos se atrevieron a desafiar al mal clima.. [+] Ver mas Photo & full article at this link
Skies and forecasts that threatened rain caused a reduction in the number of tourists at the two beaches of Isla Mujeres, and tour operators said visitors preferred to wait in their hotels for better weather. Fewer people were seen at the beaches or in the streets, although there were some foreigners and Mexican families who challenged the weather. Fewer boats and yachts were anchored near Playa Norte. The lifeguards and Harbor Master reported that the day was uneventful and without incidents.

This is about the mainland part of the municipality of Isla Mujeres. It is an interview with a young man, Edilberto Caamal who completed his social service with CONAFE (National Council for Educational Development) by teaching classes to fifth and sixth grade students in the Agricultural Zone. He was born in Cancun, then returned with his family to a rural area in the municipality of Lazaro Cardenas nine years ago. In order to finish high school while in a difficult economic situation, he enrolled with CONAFE for financial assistance. He is one of five children: María Adriana, himself, Juan José, Rosa Mariela and Jonathan, and says he was well raised by his father, whose name he bears, and his mother, Maria.
He said his commitment with CONAFE was only for one school year, and now he plans to resume preparing for college, and dreams of becoming a self sufficient entrepreneur. He said he loved being part of the national plan to address the educational backwardness in marginalized areas like the district where he taught. He participated in the instruction of student Atruro Vazquez Lopez, who represented District IV in the Children's Congress in April.
He said he appreciates the attention he has received from the residents and students of the Agricultural Zone, especially Juan May, president of the Asociación Amigos de la Zona Agrícola, and his companions in the classroom, Nayeli Cauich, Jenny Uribe and Ruth Chuc Caanal, of the school, “Luis Donaldo Colosio Murrieta”.

On Thursday, June 23 at 3pm, at the El Pescador baseball field, there will be a baseball game between the organization's team and a chosen municipal team. The public is encouraged to attend.
Open Water Swim
The municipal Director of Sports, Enrique Barros, announced that the international event "Nado en Aguas Abiertas" (Open Water Swimming) will take place this year between Punta Sam and Isla Mujeres, with dozens of top athletes participating. Details will be announced this week for the event which will begin at the beach of the Flamingos restaurant and conclude at the Posada Beach (Playa Centro), which is a distance of seven kilometers.
(The annual international open water event with swimmers crossing between Isla Mujeres & Cancun, Nado Por la Libre, took place in May, and there are photos & info on FB here.)
