ISLA MUJERES, 20 de julio.-
On Tuesday afternoon, in the City Council room of City Hall, the 20th anniversary of the creation of the Parque Nacional Costa Occidental Isla Mujeres, Punta Cancún y Punta Nizuc was celebrated. The agency's Director, Jaime Gonazalez Cano said the park is an example of conservation, with positive results, working to counter the effects of tourism and hurricane damage.
The reef "Manchones" was one of the most damaged after hurricane Wilma in 2005. Working with specialists from the United States, they have used unique and novel methods of "reforestation", which have given good results, in spite of the daily load of tourists. He said these achievements have been important and amazing, with help from man and Mother Nature. He said the challenge is to continue to engage society, service providers, consumers, and entrepreneurs about the importance of preserving the environment, which is the principal attraction of the Mexican Caribbean.

Since last Saturday when security operations began for the 2016 summer holidays, the personnel with FIDENA (Fideicomiso de Formación y Capacitación para el Personal de la Marina Mercante Nacional) have been providing assistance with security. For the past two years, staff with the Agency for Training of the Personnel o the National Merchant Marines have been providing student cadets for various monitoring tasks in Quintana Roo. To assist the Port of Isla Mujeres, there are ten cadets actively participating in the surveillance operations at Puerto Juarez and Isla Mujeres during the summer holidays.
In addition, during the vacation period,the staff of the Harbor Master and the personnel of FIDENA have two boats, a ground patrol and extra equipment for this work. With this level of surveillance, boaters are more attentive, knowing that every vessel is subject inspection, with coverage at all the points of embarking and disembarking, including the piers of the Lima's, Velazquez's, and other piers of Isla Mujeres.

Magana ferry has not resumed service to and from Puerto Juarez
NO REGRESO NAVIERA MAGAÑA A LA RUTA+] Ver mas
It has been three months since the last holiday season when the Magana ferry company laid off its staff and discontinued operations with no public statement. At that time, the Harbor Master, Ismael Gonzalez Gil said the law gave them three months to return to operations. Now it is nearly a week since the beginning of the summer holidays, and the company has not resumed operations. They provided half a century of service connecting Isla Mujeres to Puerto Juarez, beginning with wooden boats under 40 feet and advancing to boats with propulsion such as "Salvage".
Unconfirmed information alleges that another ferry company could be coming to the island, Barcos Caribe de Cozumel, that they may be associated with the Magana company, and that they may offer better fares for the resident community, including the round trip rate of 50 pesos that the Magana family offered to all residents of the state. Currently, Ultramar is providing the main ferry service, with some complaints having been expressed about their treatment of residents.
There is work being done on the pier of the Maritime Terminal in Puerto Juarez by the Port Authority (ApiQRoo) to expand and remodel it, which is expected to be completed in September, which may be when the new ferry route could allegedly begin.
Researchers arrive to conduct tourism surveys
Datos para sostener al Pueblo Mágico. [+] Ver mas
For five days, surveyor will ask tourists visiting Isla Mujeres for their opinions about the quality of services, to generate a statistical analysis whose indicators with help with decision making by the municipality, in order to continue to meet the requirements of the Pueblo Magico designation. The academic team from the University of Quintana Roo (UQRoo) consists of two supervisors who are affiliated with UQRoo's Tourism Management program and six students.
Isla Mujeres received the Pueblo Magico designation in 2015, and this agreement between the University and City officials was signed in June of that year, arranging for UQRoo to help carry out the annual assessment established in the General Guidelines of the Pueblo Magico program. It was agreed that members of the University would develop, implement, and interpret surveys targeting tourists visiting Isla Mujeres. When they return to Chetumal, the interdisciplinary team will download the information into a statistical analysis program and provide information to the City and to the State Department of Tourism. The project will be used to develop coordinated strategies between institutions for the benefit of all citizens of Quintana Roo, and in particular, those of Isla Mujeres.
