Ataque de IgnoranZIHa

https://youtu.be/j6h7URedK8k

An 11-year old child was stupidly allowed to play in the mouth of Río Ixtapa by his parents at the Trailer Park when he was attacked this Monday evening by a crocodile. It's currently their mating and nesting season, so that is likely a factor. The child suffered a few scratches on his head but fortunately nothing serious, same with his parents who rescued him. It never ceases to astound me that visitors are apparently unaware that crocodiles live here, but even more so that the local government year after year does EVERYTHING wrong when it comes to handling and managing our local crocodile population. There needs to be VISIBLE SIGNAGE announcing their presence along with alerts for strong fines for violating any of 3 basic rules:
1. Don't feed crocodiles.
2. Don't harass crocodiles.
3. Respect their space, especially during mating and nesting season.

Unfortunately, pouring cement and cutting down trees appears to be all our local government knows how to do. This is likely to at least make national news, so expect another round of crocodile hysteria and stupid responses by the municipal government. Actually, they've already started.

The marea roja continues to increase along our coast. Parts of Zihuatanejo Bay were quite dark red today while the water remained clear in other parts. If it continues growing and gaining toxicity, we should expect to see some dead marine creatures on the beaches, but so far I haven't seen any. There's only a strong fishy smell at the moment, but no smell of dead fish.

This Tuesday the coast of Guerrero comes under a warning for a mar de fondo event where waves pushing massive amounts of water are expected to reach a height of almost 3 meters. Expect some coastal erosion and riptides.
