On Tuesday, there was a symbolic ceremony to acknowledge that the fishermen with the cooperatives Justicia Social & Caribe received governmental assistance in the form of 342 lobster traps and 92 plastic cages for the former coop and two coolers and a scale for the latter, for an investment of over 1.7 million pesos from state and federal governments.
The ceremony was attended by Luis Torres Llanes, head of the Ministry of SEDARPE (The Ministry of Agri-fishing, Fishing and Rural Development), representatives of the municipal departments of Fishing and of Economic Development and of CONAPESCA.

Silvana Alexa Barranco Martínez & Santiago David Dzul Ochoa won first & second place, respectively, in the 12 Annual State Ecological Drawing Competition in Isla Mujeres. The slogan was "I am a Superhero of Nature". Officials said the purpose of the contest is to help raise awareness among the population, and especially the new generations, about the importance of taking care of the place where we live, to be more aware of the impact we generate upon our planet, and how we can contribute to its care and preservation.
Frequently clean & disinfect areas of common usage.
There are 62 "Yellow Cap" brigade volunteers divided into 13 teams who are located at 11 points around the municipality that have been designated as zones of high contagion risk of Covid-19, due to high levels of mobility. They are urging people to use face masks correctly and to maintain healthy distance from each other. They are inviting everyone to become aware of the importance of taking care of themselves and caring for others, especially the most vulnerable, who are older adults, children and people with some comorbidity.
The "Blue Flag" designation was renewed for the fifth year for Playa Centro and for the second year for Playa Norte & Playa Albatros, and the ceremony was held online, with the Governor in attendance. This award indicates excellence in water quality, environmental management, safety and services, and implementation of environmental education activities.
Joaquín Arturo Díaz Ríos, National Blue Flag Coordinator, recognized the islanders' commitment to sustainability, conservation and preservation of their main environmental asset, which is the beaches, by pursuing responsible environmental actions. The Mayor said, "With the Blue Flag award we take one step more, in two big goals; on the one hand, we prepare to take the next step in economic reactivation with clean, top-level beaches, with adequate services, police safety and lifeguards, and with trained staff to meet any needs of the visitors, and we also prepare to achieve a safe and healthy reopening taking measures to mitigate contagion risks; on the other hand, we join the urgent call of our planet to be more aware of the impact we generate in nature."

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
