CITY GOVERNMENT WILL REOPEN THE BEACHES WITH PROTOCOLS
For locals and tourists, access to the beach will be under strict measure of security, valuing people's lives, as well as not permitting the introduction or consumption of alcohol at the beach.
As part of the economic recovery process of the municipality of Isla Mujeres, in the face of the New Normality of Covid-19, and since Governor Carlos Joaquín González announced that the Northern Zone of the state will be in the color Yellow on the state epidemiological light for the week of Sept. 7-13, the municipal government headed by Juan Carrillo Soberanis is employing protocols for the reopening of the beaches of this destination.
Kerem Pinto Aguilar, director of ZOFEMAT (Federal Zone agency) in Isla Mujeres, explained that while the beaches will play a very important role in the local economic recovery, the government continues to prioritize/value people's lives, and therefore visiting the beaches will be governed under strict protocols for health and safety in the face of the pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus.
She said, "Since the beginning of the New Normality, as a government we have been working on a series of provisions in accordance with the health recommendations, so that when the time is right, our beaches can be enjoyed again by both island families and those who visit us."
She explained that included in the new regulations will be a schedule for access for a period of time no longer than three hours, beach-goers must respect healthy distancing of at least 2.5 meters, and groups of more than five people will not be allowed. The introduction and consumption of alcohol is prohibited on the beach and delineated spaces for each person must be respected, who must arrive with face masks or shields and hand sanitizer.
"Remember that now we are living with Covid, which is why it is very important not to neglect the measures we have been employing during the last few months, to continue moving forward in the colors of the light which allows us to open more spaces, as in this case of the beaches; it is very important that as a society we make the commitment to continue taking care of our health and of others," said the official.

9/4/2020- This article by TVIM is titled: "Reopening the beaches with safety guidelines, but not (open) for everyone"
This report about the epidemiological light in the Northern Zone changing to Yellow Sept. 7-13 quotes the Governor as saying, "Not the vulnerable groups, who include people over 60 years old, people with hypertension, people with diabetes, people with obesity, people with tobacco addiction, and people who suffer from respiratory problems, because they run the enormous risk of losing their lives by being infected with Covid-19, and will not have that possibility of returning to the beaches now." He insisted that the reopening of the beaches will be done in an orderly manner and under very clear protocols. LINK

Turtles continue nesting in September. They nest along the eastern beaches. Tortugranja staff and
volunteers gather the eggs and incubate them in the sand in a pen
outside the facility. Three species nest annually in Isla Mujeres, Greens, Loggerheads,
and Hawksbills.Swimming with the whale sharks ends in mid-September. They congregate and feed on a 'buffet' of plankton and fish eggs from a type of tuna. Rays are also attracted to the feeding areas. Photo by Tony Garcia
