Aguakan explains that they treat wastewater and it is cleaned before they return it to the 'saline mantle' at 100 meters deep. They say it is false news and lies that they 'inject contaminated water into the saline mantle'. They clean wastewater at 14 treatment plants in Cancun, Isla Mujeres, Puerto Morelos and Playa del Carmen. Their page is here:
From the City (Ayuntamiento de Isla Mujeres)
This year the annual "Collective Wedding" provided by the City for free were conducted as individual weddings with sanitary measures, and one couple represented them all symbolically, who registered on the island and are 62 and 36 years old. A total of eight couples were married on the island with they oldest being 62 and 36 and the youngest being 18 and 25. In the Continental Zone, there were 13 registered with the oldest being 52 and 42, who will be married on Monday, Feb. 15.
The Navy announced that they have decided to cancel the shooting practice that was planned for Feb. 16-29 in the vicinity of Isla Contoy, north of isla Mujeres, which had been announced at the end of January. It was cancelled in response to concerns about the effects on the activities of the fishing community and concerns from various environmental organizations because this areas represents an important resource for the migration, reproduction, feeding and nesting of marine fauna.
TV Isla Mujeres reports that a small amount of infrastructure is being added to the overlook (at Punta Sur by Garrafon Park) which will include public bathrooms and a small restaurant in a palapa on the lower part of the slope to avoid obstructing the view. There will be a platform of just under 350 square meters, made from regional materials with a wooden deck as flooring, and a large photo-op sign saying "Isla Mujeres".
La
Tertulia reports that concern is being expressed about work being done
on the land in front of the panoramic overlook by Garrafon Park, which
is one of the most photographed views on the island, enjoyed by
residents and visitors alike. The mobile vendors at the site and cabbies
who bring tourists there say it appears that a large palapa will be
built which could obstruct the view, and visitors would no longer be
able to have this experience and share their photographs when they
return to their home countries, which serves to promote this Pueblo
Magico. They want to know if permits have been obtained, and said they
tried to question the person clearing the land, but he left. Tertulia
notes that approximately two years ago a construction attempt was
interrupted at this viewpoint after objections from residents. VIDEO
