The harvest for this lobster season is expected to exceed 320 tonnes said this official: subdelegado de Pesca en Quintana Roo, Manuel Cárdenas Magaña. The ban from March 1 to June 30 along the coasts here and in Central American for the breeding season is showing benefits. The minimum size for a lobster to be caught is 13.5 cm. (5.3 inches..they should be bigger than the bills you are using to purchase them, generally) The ban on Queen conch (caracol rosada) has improved their density at Banco Chinchorro, which may lead to ending the ban there, but the Navy recovered 200 kilos from there last week (poached) and a few months ago 720 kilos were discovered at the Escarcega checkpoint.

It is currently the season for swimming with the whale sharks, and turtles are mating offshore & nesting on the eastern beaches. The mating is visible by day, especially off Punta Sur, the South Point. The nesting happens in the wee hours, and there are Tortugranja personnel, volunteers, and Naval staff monitoring the beaches to prevent people from disrupting them, and to gather and transport the eggs for incubation.
By far, most of the turtles nesting in Isla Mujeres are Green turtles (called Blancas in Spanish), and the second most common are the huge Loggerheads, and there are some Hawksbills. The Green turtles take ~60 days to hatch and the hatchlings are released by the public at events at dusk on Media Luna or Guadalupana beaches. The releases usually start around the end of July & are held periodically until early October.
Lately the water has been very calm and there have been many manta rays, with many swimming upside down, in addition to many whale sharks. Offshore from MVC, we have been seeing dolphins & turtles from the balcony, and lotsa big fish while snorkeling.
There are small red crabs that migrate to & from the sea in July, watch out for them at night on the coastal road at the southeastern part of the isle.
Lobster season began July 1 and continues until the end of February.
The Super full moon will be rising at 9:04, after the sunset at 7:30 (and about an hour later nightly) link

If you visited the Daily Specials page of my Restaurant Guide with Menus & Delivery info...you would find explanations (like this) of today's specials at Manolito's, what's cookin' at Soggy Peso, where to find half priced appetizers, other discounts, and more....There's always a tab at the top of this page!
Specials available at noon today at Manolitos Loncheria:
*ESCABECHE DE POLLO Yucatec Chicken & Onion Stew *BISTEC A LA CAZUELA Steak in a Pan (w sauce)
*PUERCO ADOBADO Pork in chile sauce/adobe
-POC CHUC Yucatec Pork BBQ
-MILANESA DE POLLO O PUERCO Breaded chicken or pork steak Parmesan
This is how Chicken Escabeche is made (Warning: These may make your mouth to water & this first one is complicated)...
1. In a small bowl, combine coriander, oregano,
salt, pepper, cumin, cloves, allspice, and cinnamon; set spice mix
aside. In a large bowl, whisk together half the spice mix, orange,
grapefruit, and lime juices, and minced garlic; add chicken pieces, and
toss to coat evenly in marinade. Cover with plastic wrap, and
refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
2. Meanwhile, heat a cast-iron
grill pan over medium-high heat. Place whole cloves garlic and chiles on
pan, and cook, turning as needed, until lightly charred all over, about
10 minutes for garlic, about 25 minutes for chiles. Transfer to a bowl,
and set aside to cool. Remove chicken from marinade, reserving
marinade, and working in batches, add to grill; cook, turning once,
until lightly charred on both sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a
plate and set aside.
3. Heat oil in a 6-qt. saucepan over medium
heat. Add onions, sprinkle with remaining spice mix, and cook, stirring
occasionally, until soft and starting to brown, about 15 minutes. Stir
in charred chiles and garlic, and then return chicken to pan along with
reserved marinade and stock; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low,
and cook, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Uncover, and continue cooking until liquid is slightly reduced, about 15
minutes; serve with tortillas.

Isla Animals Daily
Update: I arrived in Mexico on Monday and it’s been nothing but dogs
since I landed. After being away for a few weeks I think it has
overwhelmed me just a bit. But I’m still convinced that we can only do
as much as we can do and that we have to stay focused. Today we picked
up 10 puppies, 7 from one litter, 2 from another and then one sweet,
sweet baby that was tied to a tree (as usual). But we got her, oh,
could this little honey break your heart. We took her straight to the
vet, as we did the rest of them. Arturo was amazing, spayed and
neutered them already. He also bathed them, de-wormed them and
vaccinated each one. So the picture is of the lovely pup that was tied
to the tree. We unhooked her and all she wanted was to have her tummy
rubbed. We named her Juanita. I’m amazed at how these pups stay so
wonderful. Juanita was so relieved to be with us, she actually fell
asleep on Arturo’s exam table. For my birthday wish we are so close to
half way there, now at $980.00 in monthly pledges thanks to Carol. I’m
so excited and re-energized about all the things that we are going to
do. Also a special thanks to Wag on the Danforth in Toronto who donated
a great set of clippers to us, we never have enough.

Link in yesterday's news about this (not in Isla Mujeres).. A dinosaur tail was discovered in northern Mexico and most likely belonged to a hadrosaur, a duck-billed dinosaur. The tail is 4.9 meters (16 feet) long and is made up of 50 vertebrae. Tails are rare finds, and this is the first discovered in such good condition.More info: http://bit.ly/15Gd0w7 Photo via Reuters
