ISLA MUJERES, 3 de septiembre.- The Harbor Master opened the port in the afternoon after the wind and rain of Monday night died down, with a recommendation of extreme caution for small boats.

Eight kilos of bees eliminated in two days

ISLAMUJERES, 3 de septiembre.- (That's nearly 17 pounds.) On Monday, Civil Protection received a call about a beehive at a private house near the basketball court and the Town Hall. It was removed by the firefighters and contained about two kilos of bees. The second call came on Tuesday concerning bees in an abandoned warehouse near the ISSSTE, where about six kilos of bees were living. Both hives were removed using pressurized water and detergent, and the public is advised to call Civil Protection to report any beehives, since sudden movements can set them off to attack. (Many of the bees in this area are "Africanized" and can be aggressive. Traditionally Mayans gathered honey from stingless bees, but they produce less honey. Honey is exported from the Yucatan and is a significant agricultural product, and bees are depicted on the ancient Mayan ruins. How do ya suppose one estimates a kilo of bees? )
There was also an oil spill near a 'known supermarket' by a beer company, which was cleaned up after it was reported.

ISLA MUJERES, 3 de septiembre.- The Mayor acknowledged that in these final days of his administration, there will be over 260 City workers laid off on Sept. 15th. The City has a list of over 990 employees, and at the end of his administration, they will reduce the support staff, and eliminate the compensations, and the other special services that do not belong to the City that were granted to institutions. He said there will be fewer staff during the final days, but services should not be affected. There is an explanation concerning final payment for personnel, such as directors, whose duties terminate on Sept. 29th. There have been cutbacks, especially in social services, due to the difficult economic situation of the City.

Por Carlos Gasca/Quequi The rains that fell on Monday morning and lasted until Tuesday morning did not cause harmful effects and the lakes were not full. The pumps were turned on in a timely manner downtown, so Abasolo and Hidalgo were not affected. (Barlito's corner). There is likely to be some more rain over the next couple of days. This interview was done with the Director of Civil Protection, Gabriel Sulu Martinez.

Planning increased monitoring in the school cooperatives
Isla Mujeres | Prevén intensificar la vigilancia en cooperativas escolaresB The representative of the Secretaría de Educación de Quintana Roo (SEQ), Gilberto Avalos Galué, said there will be increased surveillance at the school cooperatives to prevent the sale of junk food to children. They are no longer allowed to sell popsicles (paletas del heilo), saborines, fried foods, or sodas. The stores are no longer in the hands of those who previously ran them, and this allocation is done through competitions, with the intention that the winner has the best proposal to sell nutritious snacks to the children.

More than 2000 students are likely to be left without classes, and representatives of the teachers have not announced when classes will resume. Parents have not issued a statement, but this is complicated because they have nowhere to leave their little ones, who will experience a delay in their educations.

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 personnelmonitoring 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 blue and red crabs migrate to & from the sea during the full moons, watch out for them at night on the coastal road at the southeastern part of the isle & in Sac Bajo
Lobster season began July 1 and continues until the end of February.
