*Puerto Morelos Needs Your Help *
*Sustainable Development Proposal *
*Jan. 28th 2009 *
*PUERTO MORELOS *needs your help. We, the community, are asking for your
support locally, nationally and internationally to stop an unreasonable
development plan that has been proposed for our small town.
We understand the need for progress and development, however; the plan that
was hurriedly approved without proper studies on January 22, 2009 at the
Cabilido in Cancun by the regidores, wants to grow our community from the
current population of less than 10,000 residents to over 150,000 people. The
plan is to build 50,000 worker homes for over 150,000 people in an area that
is a designated flood zone. During the hurricane and rainy season (September
has an average rain fall of 230mm) these new homes will block the natural
water holes that lead to the underground rivers. This will cause thousands
of homes to flood. The new plan also has no mention of any infrastructure.
No electricity, no water, no sewage, no schools, no churches, etc. It is a
plan for real estate developers and land owners to make money fast.
*We are extremely worried about the future of Puerto Morelos. *
We, the community of Puerto Morelos, want a new development plan, a change,
a fresh beginning. We want to be leaders in creating a community that
embraces sustainable development along with tourism. We want to work
together with developers, land owners, and the town to achieve this vision.
The people of Puerto Morelos have spent the last two years working with the
government Urban Development group, IMPLAN creating a sustainable
development plan for the town. We are also extremely fortunate to have UNAM
(National University of Mexico, studies of marine biology) right here in
Puerto Morelos. Several expert scientists, without cost, have helped us with
studies on our area and eco systems. In coordination with these experts, our
community has developed a plan that will not only respect our eco systems
and community but generate money for real estate developers and land owners.
Our goal is to become an eco friendly community and tourist area that will
bring people to Puerto Morelos who are seeking this kind of vacation
environment. One example of such a sustainable tourist hotel is the Hotel
Mayakoba that has been built south of our town. It is a magnificently
planned hotel respecting the surrounding eco systems.
We want our plan to be recognized by the government and incorporated into
the future development of this area. Our plan for development is
sustainability, a plan that will be of great benefit to our eco systems and
our community. We do not want Puerto Morelos to become another Cancun or
Playa del Carmen. We want Puerto Morelos to be a beautiful, restful town
respectful of its natural surroundings.
* *
*HOW CAN YOU HELP? *
*We are asking for your opinion. If you live here, own properties or
vacation here, we would like to hear from you. *
*1) Do you want PUERTO MORELOS to become another Playa del Carmen or Cancun?
*
*If so why? *
*If not, why not? *
*2) Will you continue to come back here? *
*3) What do you think people are now looking for when they go on vacation? *
*4) What is your opinion of the many all inclusive resorts that are being
built on the coast? *
*5) Do the all inclusive hotels benefit PUERTO MORELOS? *
*6) Will a Cruise ship port for PUERTO MORELOS benefit our community? *
*Please send your opinion and comments in English or Spanish to: *

As an international organizations we have dealt in the past with issues in
Cancun, or more precisely at X'Cacel, Quintana Roo, when Sol Melia tried to
build huge resorts on beaches essential for sea turtles.
Mexican state, regional and national officials are known to easily flout
Mexican legislation in favor of large infrastructure or resort projects.
The information supplied is incomplete, is there a web site dedicated to the
issue?
At the end of the email several government emails are mentioned, not phone
and fax numbers.
Also missing are newspapers, editorial staff to contact.
We know from experience that the email addresses will be rendered
unavailable for this campaign as soon as the first emails are intercepted.
It would be more convenient for the Puerto Morelos campaigners to set up an
online petition and a web site with blogs and surveys, which can all be had
for free on US based portals.
