Yesterday,
Newsweek published an article titled: "Is Cancun safe to visit?
Politician shot and killed in Mexican resort town" which begins: "A
local politician was killed on Isla Mujeres, a resort island less than
10 miles off the coast of Cancún, last week." This is incorrect. It
occurred on the mainland part of the municipality of Isla Mujeres in the
colonia of San Antonio, not on the island.

The fishing cooperative "Caribe" has received an approval for their concession of the Federal Zone for the next 15 years from the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT). This property is located in front of the Rueda Medina sidewalk, across from the intersection with Abasolo street.
There was an attempt by a private individual to dispossess them last year, and that litigation is continuing, and the members of the cooperative hope they will win it soon. This cooperative was the first of its type to be founded in Quintana Roo, in the 1950's.
In this area, the cooperative has hosted several events including the annual international fishing tournament.
