ISLA MUJERES, 21 de julio.-
With the appearance of large numbers of mosquitoes, the Ministry of Health (SESA) intensified the work of nebulization, with the intention of avoiding diseases such as dengue and zika. Yesterday SESA workers sprayed Las Hormiguitas Park in colonia Meteorological and Las Tortugas Park in colonia Las Gloria, where the residents had requested that these actions be carried out. The vector department workers said this activity will be continued next week.
A month ago, the City began a junk removal campaign with four to five tons of junk collected daily, benefiting the health of all island families. Residents are asked to cooperate by covering, eliminating, or turning over containers where water can collect to be a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Boat junkyard is a mosquito breeding ground
http://www.tvislamujeres.com.mx/criadero-de-moscos-en-ceme…/
There is a junkyard of boats at the end of the runway where mosquitoes can breed in the standing water that accumulates inside them. Although the salina lakes have been blamed for the amount of mosquitoes in the colonias of Salinas and Electricistas, the boats might be a cause. This graveyard of boats at the end of the airfield has gone unnoticed both by the Ministry of the Navy and the Ministry of Health. The majority of these boats are vessels that have been impounded for some crime and abandoned by the Fifth Naval Region.

Ultramar launches ferry with capacity for 800 passengers
http://www.tvislamujeres.com.mx/estrena-ultramar-barco-con…/
- The Ultramar company says they are ready to face this summer season, with a total of 8 boats making up its fleet, including a new boat with a capacity for 800 passengers.
Company representative Mr. Baez Vega said one of their boats arrived from Cozumel yesterday, with which they will reinforce the operation of the route between Isla Mujeres and Gran Puerto to prevent long lines during peak hours.
He said the company has always been committed to quality service, and due to the increasing demand of passengers, it was decided to bring one of the company's bigger boats from Cozumel, in exchange for the "Piolín" which has a capacity of 400 passengers.
"This way the fleet will be maintained with eight boats, offering a capacity of up to 2,450 seats every half hour," he said. It is recalled that it was during the last holiday season of Easter when the Mixcoalt joined the flotilla, the problem of long lines still occurred. It is noted that Ultramar is the only company offering passenger service from Puerto Juarez, since the Magana company discontinued service.
There's a video of the opening of the Renatta Dance studio performance
City committed to protection of whale sharks
.- The Tenth Whale Shark Festival started very successfully, with the realization of a caravan of vehicles along the Rueda Medina Avenue, as part of the activities which are taking place July 20 to 23 to celebrate the arrival of the world's largest fish to the warm waters near the island.
For four days, exhibitions of art, photography, conferences and outdoor cultural events are being held with the aim of raising awareness about the preservation of this species which attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world to admire them, every year when they visit.
Friends of Isla Contoy have a traveling exhibition on display. There were a large number of participants from the island motorcycle clubs "Mala Noche" and "Evolución", as well as a well-known automotive brand.
The first day of activities concluded with the presentation of the documentary video "Projection of experiences and research of whale sharks in the Bahía de los Santos, Baja California", by biologists Austin Moreno Quintero and Carlos Ocampo Valdés.
