~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Isla Mujeres hosted the state's first Inline Speed Skating Mini Olympiad with 70 participants, with about half coming from the municipalities of Benito Juarez (Cancun) & Solidaridad (Playa). It was held at the Bicentennial Dome in colonia La Gloria, with various activities starting at 10:30am and lasting for four hours.
Isla Mujeres Pueblo Magico--Enjoy contact with nature on the island
The seven trained lifeguards, who are part of the municipal Civil Protection and Firefighters department, work from 10a to 5p protecting swimmers along the 2 kilometers of North Beach and Playa Centro. It is noted that yellow flags mean caution, red prohibit swimming, and green mean swimming is permitted. Those who don't know how to swim should be cautious, and all swimmers should stay inside buoy line, cooperate with the lifeguards and obey the signs and flags.
This year there have been a record-breaking 1417 sea turtle nests.
The Pescadores of Isla Mujeres beat the Guerreros of Chetumal with a score of 3 to 1.

Staff with Civil Protection have been cleaning out the storm water drainage network, and remind residents not to litters, which causes blockages.

There were only two participants in the previous campaign on Sept. 20th, but more are expected on Oct. 18th. An announcement campaign is taking place on social media and in the regular media. The procedure only takes 20 minutes, under local anesthesia, and the patient returns home to recuperate, with no hospital stay required.Maintenance recommended for some areas of Garrafon Park
Medio “Garrafón” abandonado
Concerns have been expressed that El Garrafon Park, which is managed by Dolphin Discovery, is not providing maintenance to the paths along the zip line area at the south side of the property, where the undergrowth is high, and the fence along the pedestrian area isn't high enough to prevent entry. It is noted that there are pieces of abandoned lumber and trash. The neighbors are also unhappy about the odors from the sewage treatmentplant that is adjacent to the fence. This plant went into use when the municipal authority cancelled the usage of the plant on the other side of the road, which was sold by the authorities two years ago, despite controversy among the community.The public area where the motors are located that operate the wastewater plant, have their doors open and a fallen cover, and it is suggested that Dolphin Discovery should invest in maintenance.
The trust-contract began in 1998 for a term of 30 years, with a monthly payment of 16,000 dollars, increasing at 5 percent annually since then. Therefore, this amount in pesos at the end of 2019 would be about 12.7 million pesos. By the end of the contract, the Municipal Treasury will be receiving nearly 2 million pesos monthly, providing an income of about 20 million pesos for the year, according to projections, if the dollar and peso maintain a consistent relationship.

This information about the drawing contest for World Maritime Day was translated in the previous edition. Awards will be given on Oct. 1st. The article also notes--the commitments of 57 nations, covering more than 60 percent of the world's coasts, made this Clean Seas campaign the largest global pact to combat marine litter.The European Union proposed a ban on 10 single-use plastic items that account for 70 percent of all marine litter by 2025. The UN Environmental agency recommends the reduction of plastic pollution of the oceans, a priority issue for the environment. In 2018, it recommended countries and individuals to make great commitments to give up single-use plastics.
