During the Governor's visit for the inauguration of the Maritime Terminal, he announced that a large investment of funds will be allocated to various works in Isla Mujeres in upcoming months. Significant resources are being invested in the completion of the Casa de Cultura, whose construction was abandoned for several years when previous administrations did not provide the corresponding funds.
There will be a significant investment in the rehabilitation of the baseball field to raise its level, because it lacks a drainage system and suffers from flooding.
The Governor said they will invest funds in the remodeling and expansion of the Convention Center, which is said to be in an advanced state of deterioration. He said, "I don't want the Convention Center to just be a place for fiestas, so it will become a real convention center, with resources for its maintenance and operation."
He also indicated that the new hospital will be completed in upcoming months and will be provided with the equipment necessary for its operation.
He said 6.5 million pesos are being invested in the new Maritime facility for a structure and roofing along the dock, to prevent those seeking maritime transport from getting wet when it rains, or hot when it is sunny.
In Punta Sam, the maritime terminal renovation involves an investment of 27 million pesos. Money is also being invested in development in the Continental Zone of Isla Mujeres to provide more sidewalks, streetlights, roads, and electricity.

The first two fines have been imposed. A foreigner was among those being punished regarding three Boxer dogs who were suffering from malnutrition and neglect. A dog was rescued from the primary school, "Cesar Mendoza", that was being fed the leftover food of the students.
On October 1st, the penalty phase began against those who do not pick up the feces of their animals in public places, against those who keep their animal out in the sun or in other improper places such as roofs of houses. The penalties range from 10 times the daily minimum wage to a thousand times the daily minimum wage. (The daily minimum wage is about $5usd).
Among those who had been critical of the governments inaction is the renowned veterinarian Delfino Guevara, who just opened a hospital for dogs and cats, and who led the plan to control stray animals for the past two decades.

In response to decreased tourism in September and October, some business close and others impose "Solidarity Days" with compulsory days off for two or more days per fortnight, and employees are given vacations during this period. It is anticipated that this may continue into the first half of November, which is not good news for workers.

Sunday, Oct. 26th
On October 26th a competition called “Nado en Aguas Abiertas” (Swim in Open Water) will be held offshore from the beach along Rueda Medina avenue, known as the Posada Beach. They will be swimming laps between the buoys in the following distances: 250 meters, 1250 meters, two kilometers, and five kilometers.
More than 300 swimmers are expected for this international event, and the top three in each category
will be given certificates. The registration costs 430 pesos and
includes a tee shirt and a timing chip. The event is being held by the
company Más Acción, in coordination with the municipal Sports

to participate by absorbing the cost of their registration, to support
athletes who lack monetary resources.
