MODERNIZING THE COZUMEL MUSEUM
Museum board President, Eduardo Novelo López and the members of the Foundation Board of Parks and Museums of Cozumel have come together to work on the first draft of a proposal to modernize Cozumel’s Museum. In their proposal, they agreed that they must keep the identity of the island, but must modernize the information services offered. Their plan is to preserve the building as it is on the outside, but to renew and modernize the inside. The cost of the renovation to be funded by the Federal Government is estimated at 40 Million pesos.
COZUMEL PLANETARIUM CONFIRMED
As we reported last year, Cozumel is next in line to have a planetarium. The Council for Science and Technology (Coqcyt) confirmed that they will invest 59.7 million pesos this year for the construction of a new planetarium on the island of Cozumel. According to the director of that department, Víctor Sánchez Alcérreca, they are only waiting for a change in the permit for the use of the land to start building. “We have the resources, the project is approved, and we have the land in Cozumel. The work begins during the month of May,” said Sanchez Alcérreca. The Cozumel planetarium would be unique with the only system of 3D technology, in Latin America. Quintana Roo will then have three planetariums, with the two already in Chetumal and Cancun. They are also working on a fourth project, whose location would be in Playa del Carmen or Tulum. The projection for the current state administration is six properties of this type.
RECOVERY OF SEAWALL BEACHES!
The City of Cozumel has entered the final design of extraction and dumping of sand to restore one kilometer of beach on the boardwalk in Cozumel. It is estimated that the plan will cost 150 million pesos and will be completed in 2014. David Viana Alfonso Martinez, Director of Coastal Planning and Federal Maritime and Terrestrial Zone (Zofemat), made the announcement of this project that has been in the works since 2010. The plan, which was submitted to the Ministry of Tourism (Federal Tourism Ministry), contemplates pouring 35 cubic meters of sand in the area spanning from Rafael E. Melgar Avenue and 2nd Street North to the public beach “Las Casitas.” The material will be removed from the sandbar located in the northern side of the island. The 35 thousand cubic meters of sand will be distributed in a strip 40 meters from the sea shore to create the beach. Beach clubs, bath areas, changing rooms and showers will be built. This will all be run by the City, not the private sector. To avoid erosion, a containment system will be installed.
