Reopening Sports Facilities
Subject to the guidelines and recommendations of the New Normality caused by the coronavirus, the ten sports spaces that have been certified by the government of Isla Mujeres will open on September 16, Monday thru Friday, 7:00a to 9:00a and 4:30p to 7:30p. The municipal Director of the Department of Youth and Sports, Rubén Pérez Martín, said these are the Bicentennial Dome, the La Jaula Dome, the IEEA Dome, the Green Dome, the downtown Basketball Court, the Baseball field, the Softball field, the Skate Park, the Soccer Field, and the Fútbol Rápido field in Salina Chica.
The athletes and teams will be coordinated with Oswaldo Gonzalez Barredo, and a schedule will be assigned starting Wednesday, Sept. 16 because use will be limited with quotas, as part of the sports facilities certification guidelines from COFEPRIS (Federal Commission for Health Risks Protection).
Athletes and users must adhere to certain guidelines, respect the schedules and follow the health sector's protocols including the use of face masks, antibacterial gel, implementation of healthy distance and avoiding physical contact.

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 ends 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
