The municipality of Isla Mujeres continues to report 49 positives, with 3 deaths and 25 recovered.



As part of the Isla Mujeres Clean & Healthy campaign, maintenance has been provided to five children's parks so that they will be in optimal condition when they reopen. Work by a seven-person crew has been done at the parks “Gaviotas”, “Las Tortugas”, “Hormiguitas” and the parks at “Colonia Meteorológica” and “Salina Grande”. It has included trimming, pruning, and removal of weeds, brush, and trash. The DIF (social service agency) Director Yuseli López Tec said, ′′We will be able to open when the state light indicates, and for now, it is advisable to stay at home to prevent the spread of the virus."

Turtles continue nesting in July. They can be observed mating offshore from Punta Sur during this month, and they nest along the eastern beaches. Tortugranja staff and volunteers gather the eggs and incubate them in the sand in a pen outside the facility. Three species nest annually in Isla Mujeres, Greens, Loggerheads, and Hawksbills, and very rarely, a Leatherback will attempt to nest, but generally the sand isn't sufficiently deep.

Swimming with the whale sharks takes place in July, which ends annually in mid-September. They congregate and feed on a 'buffet' of plankton and fish eggs from a type of tuna. Rays are also attracted to the feeding areas.  Photo by Tony Garcia
 

Delta Aquariid meteor showers begin in mid July, peak on July 31-August 1st when there is less interference from moonlight,  and continue thru August 23rd.

Lobster fishing resumes in July, until the end of February.
