Promoting Crab protection in Isla Mujeres
Promueven cuidado del cangrejo en la Isla
Martes, 20 de Agosto de 2013 21:40
Manuel VALDEZ
ISLA MUJERES, 21 de agosto.- The Rescue & Protection Program for Red and Blue Crabs by the municipal Environmental agency is working with the group "Amigos of Isla Contoy", seeking to increase the number of participants in this campaign, compared to last year. The director of the agency stressed the importance that drivers are aware and take precautions to reduce their speed to help preserve this species. At this time the crabs are spawning, moving between their burrows and the sea. Drivers should watch for them in the roads near Punta Sur, and at Sac Bajo, where the mangroves are their habitat. Each year the awareness among islanders is increasing, and more children and parents are participating in these campaigns which are carried out during the full moons of August, September, and October.

Teacher shortage in two schoolsEducación
Faltan maestros en dos escuelas

They are lacking one teacher in the grade school "Cesar Mendoza Santana”, and two at the grade school “Enrique Estrella Oxté”, which is attributed to a problem with the assignment of teachers by the Secretaría de Educación. The principal of Cesar Mendoza Santana said that many of the teachers who are invited to work in Isla Mujeres decline the offer or quit after a few days because the salary is not enough when you take into account the costs of the ferry, or the costs of rent if they opt to live here. He said it would be easiest to hire teachers from Isla Mujeres, but this is difficult under the new educational reform policy. They do not have a date when these positions will be filled, but meanwhile the children are attending classes. Attendance is important on Thursday & Friday when the evaluation exams "ENLACE" will be given.

Corrosion of road signs
Corrosion from salt air caused a sign to fall over near a pedestrian crossing in the colonia of Salinas on Tuesday morning. No vehicles were parked nearby. It says the crossing is near the sports dome. (That is the crossing between the park and the tennis court in Salina Chica & the sports dome is on the south side of the tennis court.)

Critter events...
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 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 July-August, 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.
Please slow your speed and try not to smash us. This week they are crossing b/c of the full moon.

Playa Norte now in real time in Isla Mujeres
"Time Lapse" of Playa Norte Webcam: LINK
. .
After reading the reports of the dophin in recovery, it occurred to me that there is a lot of concern here NOB about the number of dophins that have died and washed onshore recently. I'm wondering if this dophin may have experienced similar conditions which is causing the problem here, and, if so, if the organization rehabilitating her/him might be aware of this and wish to explore the implications.
ReplyDeleteI would be curious to hear any feedback.
Thank you
