Ballena hallada en Zipolite habría muerto por causas naturales: UMAR
Ballena hallada en Zipolite habría muerto por causas naturales: UMAR
*Del 2011 a la fecha, se han localizado al menos 4 ballenas y 15 delfines muertos en la misma
Maira Ricárdez
Oaxaca, Oax. 20 de enero de 2016.- El vice rector académico de la Universidad del Mar (UMAR) Campus Puerto Ángel, Juan Meraz Hernando, informó que el ejemplar de ballena jorobada, localizado sin vida a las orillas de la Playa del Amor, Zipolite, era apenas un ballenato, de 4 a 6 metros de longitud y dos toneladas de peso aproximadamente, muy probablemente una cría con pocas semanas de nacida que murió en la mar. En ejemplares adultos esto no suele suceder con la misma frecuencia que con las crías, clarificó. También sucede con especies más pequeñas, como delfines, por ejemplo.
El también profesor investigador del área de Biología Marina recapituló que en los últimos años han sido al menos 4 casos de ballenas que han sido localizadas sin vida a orillas de playa, en solo 1 caso se registró evidencia de enmallamiento, el resto se presume, fueron causas naturales. Si bien pueden morir por desorientación, cosa más común en delfines, muchos de los ejemplares varan en las playas ya muertos.
El profesor explicó que en este caso, la institución educativa de la que forma parte, la UMAR, lleva un registro histórico de este tipo de hechos, mismos que se documentan y publican en revistas especializadas de investigación científica, buscando ahondar en las razones de muerte de estos ejemplares.
Abundó que es en esta playa en Zipolite donde a menudo se dan estos casos, ya que se trata de una zona con fuerte oleaje y corrientes, lo que representa una trampa para los organismos marinas, aquí es donde se han registrado el mayor número de ejemplares muertos, pues su intempestivo oleaje propicia que los cadáveres sean arrojados fuera del mar.
Finalmente dio el contexto biológico de este ejemplar, que acostumbra migrar al sur entre noviembre y diciembre para reproducirse en regiones tropicales, las costas oaxaqueñas no son una zona de reproducción pero sí rutas de paso.” Es muy posible que este ejemplar murió mientras migraba de regreso a las aguas frías del Pacífico norte.”

Peso hits new low of 18.8 against dollar
Finance Secretary says the currency is "clearly undervalued"
8 0
The Mexican peso dropped to a new record low against the dollar yesterday and did the same again today.
The peso slid to 18.8 to the dollar today after dropping to 18.71 yesterday.
Some banks were selling the U.S. currency for more than 19 pesos today.
The peso has lost nearly 8% in the past three weeks. Last year it dropped by nearly 17% against the dollar.
Finance Secretary Luis Videgaray told El Financiero during an interview today that the peso is “clearly undervalued” and that its decline in value is the result of overreaction by the market.
But when markets calm down, he said, the peso will regain strength.
Ongoing dollar auctions to support the currency will continue, said the Finance Secretary, who is attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, but there will be no further budget cuts.
He said there was “definitely” no risk of a financial crisis.

ZIPOLITE – AN OASIS OF CALM ON THE COAST Posted on January 18, 2016Author admin
ZIPOLITE – AN OASIS OF CALM ON THE COAST
DEC 26, 2015 – Just before Christmas, I took a van from Oaxaca to Zipolite, a beach resort on the Pacific Coast and still within the state of Oaxaca. Zipolite is a very relaxed place, with a long beach full of budget accommodations, simple bars, restaurants and only a handful of fancier hotels. Most of the people staying there were either hippies of any age, or young backpackers, with a particular concentration of French speakers. There seems to be a solid community of expats, particularly Europeans, who live in Zipolite year-round. Even though I was there in the high season, the place didn’t feel crowded – no mazes of beach chairs and umbrellas, hardly any families with kids, just people relaxing under the palm leaf shades and occasionally taking a bath or going surfing. Compared to the rest of Mexico, even the rules are relaxed – Marijuana consumption is widespread and tolerated, and clothing is optional on the beach.
I spent the first night in a bungalow that I had booked online for an exorbitant price, fearing it might be the only place available. Then I camped on the beach for four more nights and paid about $3 per night to use toilets, showers and WiFi. One of the highlights of my stay was a dolphin watching and snorkeling tour on three nearby beaches. After Christmas, I stayed an extra day because I didn’t manage to buy a bus ticket online, and the night bus was always sold out in advance. In the end I just took a day bus to Tehuantepec instead of traveling directly to Tuxtla Gutiérrez.
