  2nd Informe--Creating a future to have a Green & Healthy Isla 


The Sargasso arrival season is expected to end without serious affectations for the coasts of Isla Mujeres. Based on the latest observations via satellite by the Sargasso Monitoring Network, the season for arrival of sargasso should end without significant affectations for the coasts of Isla Mujeres, compared to previous years. 

   It is noted that just a few days ago, a machine was delivered to the ZOFEMAT (Federal Zone agency) in Isla Mujeres. Kerem Pinto Aguilar, ZOFEMAT Director, said that in regard to the sargasso season that started in March, the beaches such as Playa Centro and North Beach have been kept free of sargasso. Despite being closed by the coronavirus pandemic, the crews have carried out the work of trash collections, raking and sifting the sand, and removal of the small amounts of sargasso that arrived, and this work continues.

 She emphasized that with the reopening of the beaches as part of the economic recovery of the municipality and the state, the health regulations issued by the Ministry of Health are continue to be in effect to avoid rebounds of Covid-19, in order to keep moving forward on the state epidemiological light.




The 1st Canine & Feline Rabies Vaccination 2020 campaign will be held at various locations in the municipality September 20 to 27, from 9am to 1pm. The pet owners must wear face masks, and respect healthy distance and other protocols.  On the island, it will be in the La Gloria park on Sunday, Sept. 20; at the kiosk in Salina Chica on Monday, the 21st; at the“Parque de la Jaula” in Salina Grande on Tuesday the 22nd; at Parque de las Hormiguitas in colonia Meteorológica on Wednesday the 23rd; downtown at the old hospital on Thursday the 24th; and in colonia Guadalupana on Friday, Sept. 25th.

Turtles continue nesting in September. 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.

Swimming with the whale sharks may continue until the end of 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
