ISLA MUJERES, 7 de junio.-
As rainy season is now here, City workers are cleaning and upgrading the storm drains downtown to prevent flooding, mainly on Hidalgo Avenue. Some grids may be replaced, and the work is being done on Hidalgo Avenue, Guerrero, Rueda Medina, and other areas, under orders of the municipal authorities. They are removing large amounts of mud and considerable amounts of debris from the drains. They have been working across from the municipal market on Guerrero, and will include the drains in La Gloria near the Community Center.
Municipal authorities ask the community to avoid littering and allowing debris to collect in the street, which will avoid situations that endanger health and public safety, and cause deterioration of urban equipment.
Port reopened after restrictions due to weather for three days
Náuticos por fin respiran
Luego de tres días de mal clima reabren el puerto a la navegación

Port opened for general navigation
Abre el puerto a las navegaciones. [+] Ver mas Photo & full article at this link
June 7 Although the port is opened for general navigation, the tourism cooperatives did not have very much business. It was closed for boats under 40 feet for three days, and reopened for general navigation at 7am on Tuesday.
The municipal Department of Tourism reported hotel occupancy was about 60 percent, but it is noted that not many visitors are arriving with suitcases. There are a good number of tourists arriving.
The Harbor Master reported that 170 of the 320 whale shark tour permits correspond to Isla Mujeres, but not all the permits have been renewed, and some are pending. Due to the weather, the whale sharks have been 'away', but the whale shark tour licensees are confident there will be food at the surface and whale sharks will appear.
Preparing for the Women's Fishing Tournament
Preparan torneo de pesca femenil. [+] Ver mas
The third edition of the Women's Fishing Tournament, "Dorada del Caribe" is scheduled for June 24 and 25 and is expected to involve 50 to 60 boats, crewed exclusively by women. (The boats may be captained by a male, who isn't allowed to fish).The main source of points is la dorada, which is worth 500 points per pound, and second is el dorado, worth 80 points per pound. Species such as wahoo, barracuda, bonito, and barrilete also qualify, but not species that are picudas. (beaked?).
The winner will be awarded 70,000 pesos, second place takes 30,000, and third place wins a motorcycle, while prizes for 4th-10 have not been announced. Last year 53 boats participated, mostly from Isla Mujeres, Puerto Morelos, and Cancun, and that number is expected to be exceeded this year.
Unpaid
Some taxistas complained to Por Esto that they were asked to transport voters to their voting locations, and they were told they would be paid on Sunday night or Monday, but they have not been paid, and now they regret not working offering their services to tourists and the community. One said, "Supposedly they were going to give us each 2000 pesos, tho I don't know the total number who provided this service, because there were several aldermen who asked us to provide this service; but there were enough. Now I regret not listening to a colleague who told me not to accept, because they were unlikely to pay me. He said that he had helped out in previous elections and no one kept their word."
Replanting for World Environment Day
Jornada de reforestación en la isla [+] Ver mas
The replanting efforts for World Environment Day focused on the median of Paseo de las Aves in La Gloria where Isla Mujeres high school students of Colegio Bachilleres planted more than 60 plants, including palms of kerpis, coconut, chit, ciricote, and uva. They also pruned trees. This activity also included other members of the community, municipal authorities, and personnel from the municipal Department of Ecology and from Public Services. The slogan is "Fight for Wildlife".
The Director of Ecology, Carlos Barranco, said these activities are intended to raise awareness of the island community and particularly of the students regarding care and preservation of natural resources for sustainable development. He said this week they will be commemorating World Environment Day with a cleanup at Salina Grande, and replanting the planters of the municipal DIF, with participation by children with special needs.
