Guerrero's health authorities report NO currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, La Unión or Petatlán.

The red tide seems to be dissipating and the mar de fondo seems to be letting up. Just in time, because the tourists started arriving en masse today and they've been extremely disappointed to find out the ocean wasn't in the conditions they were led to believe by their tour operators or hotels who took their money.

It was sad to watch city workers this morning with ropes trying to catch the dogs that hang out on the downtown beach. They don't appear to really know what they're doing or how to do it, and many of the dogs actually have local owners and most are quite friendly. Unfortunately a few are in heat, which is one reason that makes them problematic when roaming free, and another problem seems to be with a well-meaning woman whom we see giving them food at the beach each morning. There hadn't been a pack of dogs hanging out on the downtown beach previously. Some of the dogs belong to fishermen, others to local neighbors, all who irresponsibly let them roam free. Now the city has taken them and is likely to simply kill them as they've done previously because they have no real facilities or plans to deal with strays. Unfortunately the local non-profit animal shelters such as the Sociedad Protectora de Animales de Zihuatanejo (SPAZ) are already overwhelmed.

Everywhere you look along the waterfront there are baubles hung with little sparkly lights.

Might be a good time to insist on annual dog license and registration requiring collars with ID tags. If you're serious about getting your pet back, at least put some identification on it.

Along time ago was "a good time to insist on annual dog license and registration requiring collars with ID tags".
That definitely is a component of a comprehensive solution to the problem.

Unfortunately, there hasn't been or is any official government or other organization with the desire, motivation, determination to solve the issue, or a sufficient budget and capabilities on various fronts to properly deal with & control the situation.

Besides that there are pet owners who are not complying with the various responsibilities as stipulated en la Ley N°491 de Bienestar Animal del Estado de Guerrero.

We've watched Noches, Boleros y Son for many years. Some of my favorites go back to Jorge Saldana, who was incredible in Anoranzas. One of my favorites was when he invited Cuban and Columbian musicians such as Moy Dominguez playing, "Pachito e che." Such rhythm!

You are right Rob, the condition of the bay water is about as bad as I have seen it
