Today at 5pm, Isla Mujeres historian Fidel Villanueva Madrid will talk about Hurricanes on the Isla Mujeres Cultura Facebook page (in Spanish), as part of the activities commemorating the 170th anniversary of the founding of Isla Mujeres as the Pueblo of Dolores.
The more than 70 "Yellow Caps" continue urging resident and visitors to wear face masks correctly, maintain social distance, and wash their hand frequently as prevention against the C-19 pandemic.
Maintenance continues at the closed sports facilities, as part of the Isla Mujeres Green and Healthy program. Maintenance has been completed on the soccer, baseball and futbol rapido fields which are being kept in optimal condition and will be ready to be enjoyed as soon as the state epidemiological light allows. The work has been done by city employees and by volunteers, and has included pruning, raking, weed removal, sweeping and general cleaning.
On Tuesday, Aug 25, Chiropractic consultations will be available at no charge from 9am to 4pm at the CRIM facility, provided by Mexico Missions, in coordination with the City government. Face masks required.

Turtles continue nesting in August. 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 August, 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
>>Meteors!! The Perseids are currently active & one of the most popular showers. They will peak in the early mornings of the weekend of August 11,12 & 13, but the moon will be at or slightly past its last quarter phase and interfering. However, the Perseids are bright & you may see 3 or 4 dozen when they are peaking, if you're patient. They continue thru the 24th. The Alpha Capricornids are going on now (thru Aug. 15) with only a few meteors per hour, but they are known for producing bright fireballs when active. (They peaked Tuesday & moonlight will interfere with visibility.)
Monday, Aug. 17-170th Anniversary of Isla Mujeres
