BEACHES OF ISLAND MUJERES OPEN UNDER STRICT HEALTH PROTOCOLS

The color yellow at the state epidemiological light is not an invitation to go to the beaches

   For beach goers to enter, they must respect the regulations which prohibit the introduction and consumption of alcoholic beverages. With the implementation of the color yellow of the state epidemiological light and as part of the economic recovery in the New Normality from Covid-19, the beaches have reopened at 60% capacity, including North Beach, Playa Centro, and the Pet Friendly Beach. 

   This was announced by the Director of ZOFEMAT (Federal Zone agency) in Isla Mujeres, Keren Pinto Aguilar, who explained that signs have been installed at strategic locations listing the regulations, as well as signs showing the occupancy light, with green indicating space is available, yellow meaning medium accessibility, and no entry with red.
    She explained that this is being done to prevent a rebound in the positive cases of the disease, and patrols will be made along the beaches by ZOFEMAT, Civil Protection, Control (Fiscalizacion) and Public Security to keep an eye on compliance with the regulations.
     ′′Unlike other municipalities, our beach extension is small, that's why they have all been opened, however, we will adhere to the state epidemiological light, respecting the 60 %  capacity limitation on each beach. In the case of restaurants areas, each business will be responsible for ensuring that its capacity is not exceeded, as well as complying with safety and hygiene protocols for its customers," she said.
        She said that in this New Normality for the beaches, alcoholic beverages will not be allowed, the healthy distance of at least 2.5 meters should be respected, as well as respecting the various spaces defined for each person (or group), wearing face masks or shields, and using antibacterial gel. Also, groups of more than five people will not be allowed and they will have to pick up the trash they generate.
   She emphasized that the yellow color of the light is not an invitation to go to the beaches and those who do not need to be there should avoid visiting, to continue to control the spread of Coronavirus, especially those in the vulnerable category, such as children, pregnant women and elderly people. 


Adapting to the New Normality, your a cordially invited to watch the 2nd Municipal "Informe" 2018-2021 governmental report on September 14th at 11:00 hrs via Facebook Live.

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
