Celebrating the presence of the whale sharks
CELEBRAN LA PRESENCIA DEL TIBURÓN BALLENA
On Playa Centro in the morning, there was a sand sculpture contest for teams made up of two children and an adult, with 13 teams participating, and awards for the top four places. In the afternoon, awards were given to the artists who have painted colorful, bright murals in various locations around the island as part of the Sea Walls Isla Mujeres 2016 project. Prior to the Whale Shark Festival, artists who are environmentally aware have been painting murals with the theme "Saving our Oceans". The setting sun provided a scenic background to the awards presentation. Following that event, there will be a dance (a verbena) presenting the Grupo de Danza (Dance Group) of the Casa de la Cultura, who will perform colorful, cheerful, folkloric dances.
A Friday on our beautiful beaches

Eastern malecon needs maintenance
Lamentable imagen [+] Ver mas
The eastern malecon (seaside walkway) has a beautiful view of the Caribbean which attracts tourists, but there are objects which need to be removed because they could be hazardous, including the bases of former light poles and trash. More police monitoring and improved lighting have also been requested in the area. From this walkway, visitors can see where the Yucatan Channel meets the Caribbean sea and watch fishing vessels and large ships in the distance, including freighters and cruise ships, as well as enjoying beautiful sunsets.
No incidents during summer vacation so far
Saldo blanco hasta el momento.. [+] Ver mas
This has the same information which was translated in previous articles about increased security by various agencies on land and sea, and by the lifeguards, during the current summer holidays, to prevent accidents. It is noted that there have been no accidents reported by the Harbor Master, Police or Traffic Police, and there is also a "saldo blanco" for the continental areas of Punta Sam and Isla Blance so far in this holiday season. (They are also part of the municipality of Isla Mujeres.)
Concerns over restaurant disposing of kitchen oil in public streets
Señalan a responsables de tirar aceite en vía pública[+] Ver mas
See the similar article yesterday. This article includes the names of two business leaders who are concerned and notes this has been occurring in front of the offices of two business organizations, but there is a lack of witness testimony or photographs as proof. The personnel of the offices confirmed that the people dumping the oil are foreigners from a nearby restaurant on Hidalgo, 70 meters away, which is named in the article. The disposal problem has occurred on Guerrero Avenue, near the Casa de Cultura and the Rehabilitation facility (UBR), and tourists have had to avoid the hazardous puddle. Nearby business owners are annoyed. The office of Civil Protection is urged to intervene.
