Successful beach recovery along 55 linear meters of beach LINK in the beach area known as El Riito, next to Na Balam hotel. The plan includes recovery of about 220 linear meters of beach, according to ZOFEMAT (Federal Zone agency) director Kerem Pinto Aguilar. The plan involves recovery of about 70 linear meters in this area, and 150 linear meters in front of Hotel Casa Maya, on the southern side of the pier-bridge that goes to Mia. The sand is being moved from part of the large 'peninsula' that formed at the north end of El Riito (by Na Balam). This is a City project with the correct permits from SEMARNAT (Secretary of the Environment and Natural Resources).
The City is conducting a Junk Removal Campaign to prevent breeding areas for the mosquito aedes aegypti which can spread dengue. It included the colonias of Cañotal, La Caribeña, Salina Chica, Meteorológica, Miraflores, La Gloria, Ampliación la Gloria, Salina Grande, Electricistas and La Guadalupana. Containers, old appliances and other items were removed because items like this can gather water where mosquitoes can breed.
From Por Esto :
Sunday's rainy weather decreased tourism
Visitantes ahuyentados por las lluvias
Interaction between Tropical Wave #47 and Cold Front #7 caused cloudy weather and some rain on Sunday, which caused decreased tourism. There were no restrictions on boats, with maximum winds from the southeast at 25 kmh, with gusts, that decreased in the afternoon. Some fishermen worked, and others are already camping at Isla Contoy.System failure affected electronic ticket users
Otro abuso de Ultamar
On Sunday, passengers were unable to use their electronic tickets to board the 9am ferry because the Ultramar system wasn't working, so they had to purchase physical tickets for the crossing. Ultramar recently introduced this system that allows tickets to be purchased using smartphones.Isla Mujeres news briefs
Breves de Isla Mujeres
Sunday's baseball game was suspended due to rain caused by Tropical Wave #47, so the Cockteleros will play the Ejidatarios of Bonfil next Sunday at their field. It actually didn't rain after 1p when the game was scheduled, which was the third game of the competition. This was the first suspension, and there are six games remaining. (The Cockteleros and the Ejidatarios have both won their first two games.) The other news brief is about a crime prevention class on the mainland at Playa Mujeres for employees of Secrets resort on the topic of "How to React to Aggressive People".~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
