ISLA MUJERES, 9 de octubre.- .
Leer más..At the commemoration of the Day of the Fisherman, the Mayor Agapito Magana announced the creation of the Municipal Department of Fishing, which will have the task of working closely with the fishing cooperatives. They will concentrate on subjects like "Maricultura" (Sea-agriculture), acquiring boats for the fishermen, and acquiring administration over Isla Contoy.
The mayor spoke about fulfilling his commitment regarding the hyperbaric chamber, noting he is currently working with the Department of Health to hire a doctor and technician who will remain on the island. He assured it will be self-financing, in conjunction with the fishing cooperatives to achieve medical protection for the "men of the sea".
A wreath was laid at the bay in memory of the men who died at this work, and another was placed at the Monument to the Fishermen at the turnabout on Rueda Medina, and a plaque was unveiled with the names of fishermen who died during 2012 and 2013. There was a minute of silence in memory of the deceased fishermen. They honored retired fishermen David Garrido Povedano, Enrique Mares Díaz, Jacinto Ríos Azueta, Carlos García Castilla, Ventura Delgado, Elmer Noguera Catzín, Perpetuo del Socorro Garrido and Miguel Ojeda Martínez, who were given raincoats and long sleeved shirts, which will also be given to the members of the fishing cooperatives.

After the recent rains, the fight against the mosquito that causes dengue was intensified with the support of two new units, on indefinite loan to the island. The work began at the start of the airport, covering the island to the South Point, attending to all the colonias and the peninsula of Sac Bajo. Adelfo Cruz, head of the nebulization brigade, said the fogging begins at three in the morning to five in the morning on Thursday. The two new units will remain on the island as long as necessary, until the two damaged units are repaired. The Department director requested the support of islanders with these efforts, and asked that housewives take actions around their homes to prevent areas where mosquito larvae can live. It is expected that the City will give support with personal to carry out this work. (It says he requested the support of the 'trabajadores del volante', which usually means the taxi drivers, saying "they are the main ones who argue against these efforts". Adelfo Cruz pidió el apoyo de los trabajadores del volante, ya que dijo que son los que se manifiestan en contra de estos trabajos principalmente )

Dead turtle appears in Isla Mujeres
A juvenile turtle of the Hawksbill species that had died was brought ashore near the area of the Cuban boat and the Guadalupana beach, after it was spotted floating offshore in the Caribbean Sea. There has been a search and rescue operation for a man who was lost at sea, and the Harbor Master was notified when a large dark object was seen floating about 30 meters offshore. It was decided to take a kayak out and see what this was, with dozens of residents and the police on the scene. The turtle was about about a meter long, had no obvious injuries, and may have died in a fisherman's net. Profepa is responsible for examining and disposing of the turtle. Photos at link

Complaint about flooding

DENUNCIA
Molestia por inundaciones
0 09 de octubre de 2013
Residents are complaining that some of the absorption pits seem to be silted up because water takes several hours to drain away after the rain has stopped. They say this is not a new problem, and the most notorious can be found in Salina Chica. The Civil Protection Departmen began cleaning storm drains a few days ago, but there also seems to be a problem with maintaining the absorption wells (catchment basins) The residents are asking the mayor to address this problem, to resolve the flooding once and for all. -
