Ante el paso de la onda tropical
Manuel VALDEZ
ISLA MUJERES, 15 de agosto.-Citizens are advised to take the usual precautions when rains occur, and city employees have been working to keep the drains clear to prevent flooding. Tropical wave 13 has a fifty percent chance of becoming a tropical system. (It was becoming disorganized with landfall & reports say if it intensifies, it will do it above the Gulf. We are getting rain. The sea and winds are pretty calm...no whitecaps this morn & afternoon from here.~wc)

0 15 de agosto de 2013 This is the last weekend of the holiday season before school starts Monday. Rainy weather has a negative impact on tourism. The most difficult times are September, October, and November. Caption: Tropical wave paralyzes economic activity in Isla Mujeres. That street doesn't look empty to me & there were people out enjoying "Cheeseburgers in Paradise" when we visited the Soggy Peso yesterday.

Hugo considers closing mainland landfill
Le saca Hugo clausurar relleno sanitario
0 15 de agosto de 2013
Por Carlos Gasca- The Mayor of Benito Juarez (Cancun's township) and the Mayor of Isla Mujeres disagreed yesterday in a meeting about the landfill shared by both municipalities, and located in the continental zone of Isla Mujeres. Hugo Sanchez said the Mayor of Benito Juarez wants to "wash his hands" and ignore payments owed for building permits & licenses for the trash facility "Technological Park" which has now become an open air dump. Julian Ricalde said it was not he who ordered the building of the facility. He said there is an exemption from payment because it is a Public Work. Hugo Sanchez said an agreement to pay for the rights was signed by both parties and there is no exemption from this fee, and responsibility needs to be taken for the ecological damage. If they cannot reach an agreement, the Mayor of Isla Mujeres says more drastic measures will have to be taken. He prefers not to take the radical step of closing the facility, but under the circumstances there is no alternative.

Anticipate the opening of the port of Isla Mujeres
Prevén abrir el puerto de Isla Mujeres There were no reports of damage to any boats from Tropical Wave 13 which 'diverted' and did not have a strong effect on the Northern Zone of the state. Navigation by small boats may resume by noon, or at the latest on early Saturday morning. Yesterday despite the restrictions to navigation, some boats made trips to Isla Contoy, but they were over 40 feet, and the restriction was for boats under forty feet in length. The whale shark boats and fishermen did not go out. Scattered rainfall may continue until noon Friday, but with less intensity than yesterday. Seafarers should take precautionary measures to avoid incidents. (It has been raining this afternoon, but winds & seas are calm)Students begin school year during a rain storm
Isla Mujeres | Estudiantes inician ciclo escolar en medio de la tormentaThe high school students of Colegio Bachilleres began their school year in rainy weather, with no significant absenteeism. There are about 300 students and three different degrees available. The students are divided into eight groups, with five in the morning shift. The activities at Bachilleres began two weeks ago with the induction courses, which were attended by 130 freshmen, divided between four classrooms. Yesterday they were joined by ~170 students in their Third and Fifth semesters. The drop out rate is between 20-25% among all the students, which would represent 65-70 members of the student body, which is troubling.

Critter events...
It is currently the season for swimming with the whale sharks, and turtles are nesting on the eastern beaches in the wee hours. There are Tortugranja 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 are held in the water tanks at the Tortugranja until the hatchlings are released by the public at events at dusk on Media Luna or Guadalupana. These events will occur periodically until early October and are usually announced a day or two in advance. They are rescheduled if the sea is rough.
Lately there have been many rays, in addition to many whale sharks. From MVC, we have been seeing dolphins from the balcony, and some large fish while snorkeling offshore. Lotsa mama turtles visiting our beach lately!
There are small red crabs that migrate to & from the sea in August, watch out for them at night on the coastal road at the southeastern part of the isle. The main migration of the blue crabs is during the full moons of Sept-Oct, but there are always some early ones... watch out for them in Sac Bajo.
There are usually some "crab rescue" events on these nights, to help them get across the roads safely. The red ones move between scrub and the sea and the blue ones move between the mangrove type areas and the sea. They are spawning.
Lobster season began July 1 and continues until the end of February.
