Information campaign in English and Spanish to prevent traffic accidents
A campaign has begun called "We want your vacation in Isla Mujeres to be the Best of your Life" by the Traffic police force. The campaign of information and prevention is directed principally at the thousands of tourists who arrive to the island daily.
Every year during the summer, the number of tourists arriving from Mexico, and all over the world, increases significantly, and measures are intensified to prevent traffic accidents. This year, there is a campaign using brochures in English and Spanish, which are being distributed among drivers, particularly those operating golf carts, to help keep their visit to the island free of mishaps.
There are police officers handing out the leaflets at strategic locations and the golf cart rental agencies are also giving them out. The brochures contain some traffic laws which are required to be observed by all drivers, to ensure the peace and safety of families and friends.
One of the key points is that under no circumstance may minors drive golf cars or motorcycles. This is emphasized in a manner that is friendly yet forceful, explaining that the road is not a playground, vehicles are not toys, and accidents that happen because of negligence are a reality.
Hundreds of leaflets are being distributed daily to visitors who arrive daily and include the following Local Traffic Laws:
Article 68 - No person or company who owns a vehicle may allow someone to drive the vehicle who does not have a valid drivers license.
Article 79 Section VII - Motorcycle riders and their passengers must use approved helmets worn in the proper position.
Article 81 Section II - Drivers may not transport more people than indicated on the vehicle's registration certificate.
Article 81 Section XV - Drivers may not operate a vehicle while intoxicated or under the influence of any type of narcotic or similar drug, including prescription medications with an authorized prescription.
Article 82 Section XI - Drivers are prohibited from operating bicycles and motorcycles when intoxicated or under the influence of any type of narcotic or similar drug, including prescription medications with an authorized prescription.

Low lobster catches
Baja captura de langosta.. [+] Ver mas
A little over a month after the beginning of the lobster season, the catches are low among the fishermen of the five cooperatives, who consist of about 700 people, between partners and employees. Their estimated income is 100 to 150 pesos daily, but when there is bad weather, or there are four months of closure, there is almost no income.
Whole lobster is selling for 180 pesos a kilogram, and tails sell for almost twice that, depending on the discount given by each cooperative, as agreed to by the members.
During the interview a member of one of the cooperatives arrived with 13.6 kilos of lobster, representing an income of over 2000 pesos, but he subtracted 800 peos for fuel and divided the rest into four portions (one for the boat and three crew members), which meant that each fisherman made 300 pesos.
It is noted that the lobster move into the fishing areas when there are northern winds, which begin in about two months, and when there are large storms.
They must also maintain their outboards, often resorting ot loans from family and friends, with an overhaul costing around 4000-5000 pesos, with 1800 pesos for the mechanic.

Summer: The best season
Verano, la mejor temporada. [+] Ver mas
As Isla Mujeres enters the final stretch of the best summer season experienced by the island in recent times, the Tourist Office reports a six percent increase in hotel occupancy compared to 2014. The municipal Director of Tourism expects the number of tourists arriving to continue until next Sunday when the season ends.He reported that average hotel occupancy was 75 percent on Monday.
At 4pm, the Maritime Terminal remained full of tourists returning to Cancun, seeking to board boats to the Hotel Zone or Puerto Juarez. Including the ferries to Punta Sam, there are more than 10,000 passengers daily.
Rueda Medina gets congested daily around 11am when people are arriving on the ferries and via the recreational boats, at the Maritime Terminal and at the private docks. People flock to the beaches, take tours in the National Park, travel around in golf carts, and shop at stores selling souvenirs. Those providing security report there have been no incidents.
