The furniture and files are being moved over the weekend and the building was turned over on Friday by staff of SINTRA (Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport). The building was remodeled by the company Inmobliaria Dolores, because it had been in bad condition after being damaged on at least two occasions by vandals.
A representative of the Administrative Department of the PGR, Hector Alvarez, said the Public Ministry will be operating jointly in the building with SEMEFO and the PJE (State Judicial Police). SEMEFO is expected to begin operating in the facility in upcoming weeks.

A large, clandestine trash dump has been created along the road in Sac Bajo, across from the Zoetry Hotel, formerly known as Villa Rolandi, which presents a bad image of the island to tourists, including clients of the hotel. The rubbish includes remains of bathtubs, hot tubs, coolers, and other trash generated by a hotel, which have not been moved to the Trash Transfer station by hotel personnel. Taxi drivers, who take tourists on tours of the island, complained to the reporter about the dump, as did two tourists from northern Mexico

June 10 Four teachers with CONAFE (National Council for Educational Development) in the Agricultural Zone came to the island in association with closure of the school year, but they were given tickets for the Magana ferry, which discontinued service in April.
The teachers, Nayeli Cauich, Edilberto Caamal, Jenny Uribe, and Ruth Chuc Caamal came to the island to prepare for the end of classes and to help prepare for the graduation ceremonies of 11 students in preschool/kindergarten, primary, and middle school, on July 11.
The teachers were annoyed, and expect to be reimbursed. They are paid a limited salary and cannot afford to pay the expenses for this trip, doing social service work. The tickets were given to them by municipal delegate Guillermo Mezeta.
Health authorities taking action against mosquito borne diseases
Autoridades de salud se ponen en acción [+] Ver mas Photos & full article at this link
June 10 Personnel can be seen fumigating in the bodies of water and swamps of Hacienda Mundaca, Salina Grande,and Makax Lagoon to fight mosquito born diseases such as zika, chikungunya, dengue, and malaria. No new cases of dengue have been reported, and cases of the other diseases have not been recorded on the isle.
Meanwhile, another team is going house to house to raise public awareness and encourage people to avoid having containers where water can collect. "Giving an opportunity for mosquitoes to proliferate in abandoned containers is tantamount to jeopardizing the health of our families," said one of the staff.
The vectors personnel are encouraging organizations to participate by cleaning up the lake areas, whose shores become clogged with plastic, especially plastic bottles which get washed down with the rainwater. They say they have no time to do this, but it needs to be done for the health of children and adults.
These plans for prevention aim to keep the island clean of potential outbreaks of disease. This is a destination where thousands of vacationers come daily for recreation, especially when the summer holiday period starts, soon.
Slogan proposals for Mayan Mexican Caribbean
Confianza en concretar iniciativa empresarial [+] Ver mas Photos & full article at this link
June 10 There is a proposal to include the word "Maya" in the slogan used for marketing destinations of the Mexican Caribbean, which may be accepted by the next state government, according to information from a recent event, provided by Gerardo Magana, coordinator of the Pueblo Magico Isla Mujeres Committee.
The three proposals for the slogan are: Maya Caribe Mexicano, Caribe Mexicano Maya and Caribe Maya Mexicano. Sr Magana said the incorporation of the word Maya caused excitement at a recent event in Cozumel because the term has global resonance for the cultural influences of the Maya, particularly their understanding of astronomy, predictions, knowledge of agriculture, and other advances of their civilization.
This proposal has been around for some time, and it is expected that the next administration could accept it to use in marketing destinations including Holbox, Isla Mujeres, Cancún, Riviera Maya, Cancún (sic..Cozumel?) and Costa Maya. Sr. Magana, who is also the vice president of the Association of Small Hotels Fascinantes of Isla Mujeres, said, "We are confident that the government of Carlos Joaquin will implement this proposal from the business community."
There are Isla Mujeres hoteliers who want the management of marketing returned to the municipality as the office of Fideicomiso de Promoción de Isla Mujeres, which was the case until three years ago when that office was closed, and this responsibility was turned over to the OVC (Convention & Visitors Bureau, in Cancun). They want some of the ~10 million pesos annually generated by the 3 percent lodging tax to be used to reactivate the websites marketing Isla Mujeres.
