Eduardo Peniche Rodr铆guez, better known as the "Wato" said that on Thursday he will deliver more than 900 packages of school supplies to equal number of union members, at the union lodge in colonia La Gloria. He said this is done annually, in addition to providing assistance with scholarships and the expense of crossing to the mainland to go to school. He said this was done with an investment of 117,000 pesos and will focus on the students of the Continental Zone, where the greatest need exists.
Low season arrives with rainy weather in Isla Mujeres LINK
Rainfall continues to cause losses to the commercial sector in Isla Mujeres. There's a video.
Remnants of "Harvey" caused rain which caused a decline in the number of tourists and hotel occupancy. There was intermittent rain and workers for the stores were sweeping away rainwater. The lack of shoppers could be observed on Hidalgo and other areas.

Rain affects the tourism industry
La lluvia afect贸 al sector turismo [+] Ver masFull article at this link
The heavy rain early in the morning and the intermittent rain in the afternoon affected tourism and the closure of the port for small boats affected the nautical sector, including the whale shark tours. Passengers who were boarding the ferry when the rain was intense moved as quickly as they could to stay as dry as possible.
The stores have few customers, but the restaurants did better, while tourists waited out the rain eating breakfast or drinking hot beverages. The water drained away from Hidalgo avenue (the pedestrian street) quickly, which pleased the merchants. As usual, there was flooding near the Monument to the Fishermen at the end of Rueda Medina (main street), which caused waves to lap up onto the sidewalk when vehicles passed.
Renewing documents of the fishermen
Pescadores, sin libreta de mar.. [+] Ver masFull article at this link
The "libreta" documents of the fishermen expire every four years, which were processed for the last time in 2013, and are now due for renewal. Therefore, SARAGAPA will offer courses on September 6 & 7 in survival at sea in Isla Mujeres.
Baltazar G贸mez Catz铆n, president of the Regional Federation of Cooperatives of the Fishing Industry in the State, explained that these survival courses will be carried out in all the coastal municipalities of Quintana Roo and these are the dates when they will be held in Isla Mujeres.
He said, "All fishermen and independent permit holders are invited to attend, and the co-operatives are encouraged to provide their membership lists before the end of August, so that the course assignment schedule can be prepared, because there are more than 200 fishermen who need to renew their libretas. Each course can have an enrollment of one hundred people, therefore, the classes will be held on two consecutive days, one for each group."
It is a requirement of the Navy and the Harbor Masters offices that this document is up to date. Other requirements include life jackets for everyone on the boat, a VHF radio, a first aid kit, and a life saver ring.
He said, "If a boat is intercepted for a routine inspection and one of the crew does not have his logbook with him, or is expired, the boat will have to return to the beach and the fishermen will lose that entire day. Therefore, it is better not to take risks and especially with the courses being offered by SAGARPA, which is an indispensable requirement for renewing the document."
Port closed due to weather, except the ferries

It is anticipated that if the port reopens on Wednesday, that it will probably be restricted to tours within the Bay and to el Farito.
