It was named after the Virgin of Carmen when it was reclaimed by the colonists on July 16, 1717, a day that is now celebrated in honor of the city’s Patron Saint. Currently, Ciudad del Carmen is a business leader and a pillar of the national economy as it is the home of the country’s most important oil fields. It’s also the perfect starting point for entering the mystical Mayan world in the southern area of the Yucatan Peninsula, where you’ll find stunning natural sites like mangroves, estuaries and semi-virgin beaches. OIL CITY Oil was discovered off the coast of the island in 1971, greatly affecting the entire population. After a long history of fishing, Ciudad del Carmen refocused its efforts on the extraction of crude oil. PEMEX established their plants in the Bay of Campeche, where most of the nation’s oil is produced as well as a great percentage of Mexico’s natural gas. Uniformed workers can often be seen returning from the platform, yet as you walk the streets you can still enjoy the atmosphere of a small, traditional city that has retained the natural beauty of its coastline. This unique combination of features makes Ciudad del Carmen the perfect destination for business travelers who also wish to relax and unwind during their leisure hours. 1 CIUDAD DEL CARMEN PROFILE Headquarters of Mexico’s most productive petroleum plants. One of the highest revenue generating municipalities in the country. An important business destination in Mexico. Inhabited by people from all over Mexico who are seeking better job opportunities. Beautiful beaches in the northern area. Home of the Unidad and El Zacatal bridges, which offer beautiful ocean views. The city is surrounded by splendid natural scenery and archeological sites. 2 CIUDAD DEL CARMEN ATTRACTIONS Beautiful beaches, water sports and fun activities in the mangroves that surround the Terminos Lagoon all await you in Ciudad del Carmen. This destination also offers lovely jungle terrain and the chance to explore the mysterious world of the Mayans. CHURCH OF OUR LADY OF CARMEN The Church of Our Lady of Carmen was built with wood, sascab (a kind of limestone) and stone and is the most significant religious structure in the city. Located across from Zaragoza Park, it’s famous for its simple architecture, stained glass windows and the marble accents featured on the altar. TERMINOS LAGOON This protected natural area is the home of various birds along with jaguars, ocelots and white-tailed deer as well as many other creatures. The jungle area offers ecotourism activities like hiking, mountain biking, horse- back riding and bird watching. With coastal dunes, marshes, mangroves, flooded scrublands and lowlands, jungle and lush vegetation, there are plenty of opportunities to take remarkable photos during your visit. BOARDWALK Offering a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Mexico and the ships that travel its waters, the Ciudad del Carmen boardwalk is often a favorite place for walking, running, roller skating or to simply relax and admire the sights. 3 ISLA AGUADA This tranquil village is often preferred by tourists seeking natural surroundings and an escape from the crowds. It is home to semi-virgin beaches and a small boardwalk as well as seafood and fish restaurants. During your visit, be sure to take a tour of the Terminos Lagoon, where if you look closely, you may spot dolphins in their natural habitat. The lookout point is the perfect place to admire the landscape and the beautiful sunsets this area is known for. JUAREZ PARK Known for its beauty and wonderfully preserved colonial era buildings, this park is home to the Church of Jesus, which was often visited by Empress Carlota, the wife of Maximilian. At night exquisite lighting and fountains create a completely different view of the park. PLAYA BAHAMITAS In the crystal clear waters found alongside this beautiful sandy beach and its lush trees you’ll see snails, clams, starfish and shells. This beach is perfect for swimming and water sports like scuba diving, water skiing, windsurfing and fishing. PLAYA CARACOL In the crystal clear waters found alongside this beautiful sandy beach and its lush trees you’ll see snails, clams, starfish and shells. This beach is perfect for swimming and water sports like scuba diving, water skiing, windsurfing and fishing. 4 ZACATAL BRIDGE Connecting Villahermosa to Ciudad del Carmen, the Zacatal Bridge is one of the main routes that link the Yucatan Peninsula to the rest of Mexico. The bridge is more than 10,000 feet in length and has been named the longest bridge of its kind in Latin America. At night, tourists can enjoy an incredible display of lights, which are easily seen from the boardwalk. PLAYA NORTE This beach is approximately three miles long and has average waves. It is surrounded by fantastic restaurants and offers a variety of tourist services. This is the largest and most popular beach in the area and is also the home of the Fiesta del Mar and the July Fair, two very important celebrations in Ciudad del Carmen. PUERTO REAL This calm beach with emerald green waters is located near the road that connects Ciudad del Carmen with Isla Aguada. Visitors to the beach can admire beautifully colored sunsets and spectacular views of the Puente de La Unidad bridge. SABANCUY Sabancuy is one of the most beautiful beaches in the state. When you visit this beach, home to an abundant population of shrimp, scallops and fish, enjoy clear shallow waters, fine sand, gentle waves and a gradual slope into the sea. Approximately 50 miles away from Ciudad del Carmen, it’s located across from the estuary of the same name. XICALANGO Xicalango is a fascinating archeological site that is just a few miles away from Ciudad del Carmen. During pre-Columbian times, this was a major commercial port and was the main trade center for the Mayan, Olmec and Aztec cultures. 5 CIUDAD DEL CARMEN DINING As with all islands, Ciudad del Carmen is known for its seafood. Traditional dishes are prepared with fresh ingredients, as this destination has retained its fishing village roots even with the oil boom. Pampano is often poached, fried or served with green salsa. Other types of fish are served fried, with broth or as tikin-xic (grilled with an achiote marinade). Shrimp lovers can savor their favorite crustacean in many ways, including breaded, in a cocktail or with garlic sauce. A unique dish that is very popular with tourists is chile relleno (stuffed chili pepper) with shrimp. Octopus is another main ingredient in the cuisine of the city, usually served in its ink or in a ceviche. 6 Influenced by the rest of Campeche and Yucatan, the local cuisine includes tamales colados (strained corn dough tamales), escabeche (poached or fried fish), queso relleno (stuffed cheese) and jamon claveteado (ham prepared with brandy and wine). Pan de cazon and kibi de pescado are also popular dishes for those visiting the area. 7 CIUDAD DEL CARMEN SHOPPING TEXTILE CRAFTS Some of the most charming things found in the state of Campeche are the creations of the indigenous people. Skilled women hand-embroider beautiful and brightly colored figures on blouses, dresses, huipils and many types of household items. WOODWORK Imaginative craftsmen make impressive wooden figures and combine these works of art with fabrics and shells, producing delightful creations that make the perfect souvenir of your visit to Ciudad del Carmen. 8 CERAMICS Although the ceramics industry has changed over time, the Mayan roots of Campeche have been preserved in beautifully designed dinnerware, planters, pots and other creative pieces. ZENTRALIA Zentralia is a modern shopping mall where you can find clothes, cafes, restaurants, major department stores and cinemas. This fashionable mall is located near the airport and Avenida Concordia. 9 CIUDAD DEL CARMEN NIGHTLIFE Although it’s just a small city, Ciudad del Carmen offers plenty of fun things to do once the sun goes down. You can stroll along the boardwalk and admire the lights on the Zacatal Bridge, or take a tour of Juarez Park and see the wonderfully preserved buildings that are beautifully illuminated at night. Ciudad del Carmen also has several places that are open until the early hours of the morning. Head to the North Beach area, where you’ll find lots of great bars and nightclubs that fit all budgets. If you prefer quieter entertainment, you can visit one of the numerous local and international restaurants located on Avenida Concordia. No matter how you choose to spend your nights out in Ciudad del Carmen, there are plenty of fun and exciting things to enjoy. 10 THINGS TO DO IN CIUDAD DEL CARMEN Spend a day at the beaches located near or in the city and admire beautiful sunsets.

Entre decisiones atropelladas y una geografía inhóspita Escárcega on the route of the Southeast Railway. Between hasty decisions and an inhospitable geography Isabel Bonilla Galindo Jefa de Departamento de la Biblioteca Especializada, CEDIF-CNPPCF. Contacto: [email protected] Resumen El general Lázaro Cárdenas emprendió su gira electoral el 8 de diciembre de 1933 y la concluyó el 30 de junio de 1934. Recorrió más de 20 mil kilómetros y de ellos 7,294 corresponden a los trayectos que realizó por ferrocarril. Durante su campaña dio a conocer el Primer Plan Sexenal cuyos objetivos concretos se resumen en: atención a la educación, la agricultura, las obras públicas y las comunicaciones. En materia ferroviaria planteó la integración geográfica del país mediante vías férreas que unieran a las regiones tradicionalmente aisladas. En este contexto el gobierno cardenista autorizó la construcción de un ferrocarril que conectara a los estados de Veracruz, Oaxaca, Tabasco, Chiapas y Campeche al que se le denominó Ferrocarril del Sureste. Al amparo de esta línea férrea se afianzaron algunas localidades en torno a las estaciones del tren, tal como sucedió con Escárcega de Matamoros o nacieron ciudades a las que se les denominó ferrocarrileras, como es el caso de Teapa. En este sentido, el objeto de este artículo, dar un panorama general sobre las vicisitudes que se presentaron durante la construcción de la línea y de qué manera se conformó la ciudad de Escárcega.

  • American Horseshoe Crabs, Limulus Polyphemus, in Mexico: Open Possibilities
    American Horseshoe Crabs, Limulus polyphemus, in Mexico: Open Possibilities Jaime Zaldı´ var-Rae, Rene´ Elı´ as Sapie´ n-Silva, Martha Rosales-Raya, and H. Jane Brockmann Abstract Little is known about Mexican Limulus polyphemus, the southern- most population of the species. We present an overview of work on Mexican horseshoe crabs, their situation, and perceived threats and opportunities regarding the conservation of the species. Horseshoe crabs occur along the western, northern, and eastern coasts of the Yucata´ n peninsula, and are geneti- cally distinct from populations in the United States. Spawning aggregations and nests are found continuously throughout the year, commonly in protected lagoons where mangrove (Rhizophora mangle, Laguncularia racemosa, Avicen- nia germinans, and Conocarpus erectus) and sea grass (Thalassia testudinum) communities proliferate. Populations are thought to be dwindling since the 1960s and Limulus is listed as ‘‘in danger of extinction’’ in Mexican legislation since 1994. The most important localities are within protected areas. Direct exploitation is not an important threat, but coastline modification (especially of mangrove areas and coastal lagoons) for housing and tourism is a major concern. Additional potential threats are the oil industry and shrimp fishery in the southern Gulf of Mexico, but their effects on horseshoe crab populations have not been assessed. 1 Introduction Knowledge about the biology and ecology of Mexican Limulus polyphemus, the southernmost population of the species, is scant (Escalante et al. 1980; Gomez-´ Aguirre 1980; Bonilla-Gonza´ lez et al. 1986; Anderson and Shuster 2003). This chapter aims at providing an overview of the available information on the biology of horseshoe crabs in Mexico and our perspective on potential threats and opportunities for the study and conservation of these animals in Mexico.

  • Environmental Pressures and Population Concentration
    AMBIVALENCES AND ASYMMETRIES IN THE URBANIZATION PROCESS IN THE GULF OF MEXICO: ENVIRONMENTAL PRESSURES AND POPULATION CONCENTRATION Cuauhtémoc León and Hipólito Rodríguez FRAMEWORK: A DEFINITION OF THIS SPACE Three different countries surround this great marine water body; human activities both inland and in coastal zones and marine areas have modified, and will continue to modify this space’s biochemical, ecosystemic and, of course, socio-economic conditions. Such activities can be formally identified as the Gulf of Mexico’s economic and social space. From a historical perspective, they have had certain common traits and have perhaps been evolving at different intensities, but at least in a parallel fashion. The pace of changes has left marks shaping the landscape that can be “read,” yet unfortunately, in most instances these comprise an expansion and sequence of deleterious transformations. The boundaries of the Gulf of Mexico and, therefore, of what is considered to be its coastal zone, were defined a priori. Actually, they are of an operational nature so as to be able to deal simultaneously with three dimensions: the terrestrial landscape analyzed as ecoregions; socio-demographic dynamics studied on the basis of municipalities (or counties); and urban cores or cities, which enable us to easily visualize population concentration. Thus, the coastal zone was delimited as a mostly terrestrial strip having municipal boundaries (and therefore jurisdictional ones) and landscape features. As a result, this is not necessarily a region in the economic or geographic sense but rather, most likely, it is composed of asymmetrical, disconnected, and perhaps complementary territorial and political units which at most depend upon one another to a certain degree.

ISLA, CIUDAD Y PUERTO DEL CARMEN: ¿CASO DE DESARROLLO O EJEMPLO DE DEPENDENCIA ECONÓMICA? Lilia Susana Padilla y Sotelo1 Armando García de León L.2 RESUMEN La isla del Carmen ubica en su territorio una ciudad y un puerto homónimos, localizados en el estado de Campeche, México, en ella se han registrado acontecimientos históricos, sociales y económicos que han marcado su desarrollo, el más reciente el descubrimiento de los mas importantes yacimientos de hidrocarburos del país en la denominada Sonda de Campeche en lo que corresponde al Golfo de México. La presencia de Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) en la región, es preponderante pero en épocas pasadas también han sido de relevancia otras actividades económicas que le anteceden, como la explotación del palo de tinte y madera, el cultivo del chicle y la pesca de camarón. En ese contexto, el objetivo del trabajo es dar a conocer la actual estructura económica que gira en torno a la explotación del petróleo la cual ha modificado significativamente su población, territorio y economía en detrimento de sus recursos naturales, y ha dado pauta para que el puerto alcance importancia a escala global, sin embargo ello no ha incidido en mejoras para la población local. El presente material inicia con la perspectiva conceptual respectiva; continúa con la localización geográfica de la zona de estudio, en seguida se enfatiza el carácter de su condición isleña, en articulación con la ciudad 1 Doctora en Geografía.

  • A Characterization of the Shark Fisheries in Campeche, Mexico By
    A Characterization of the Shark Fisheries in Campeche, Mexico by Jessica Ritter Dr. Michael Orbach May 2013 Masters project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Environmental Management degree in the Nicholas School of the Environment of Duke University 2013 ABSTRACT Since the early 1990s, shark landings in the Mexican state of Campeche have declined drastically, mirroring an overall decrease in shark populations across the Gulf of Mexico. Historically, most research on the Campeche shark fisheries has focused on assessing the health of shark populations, with little emphasis placed on understanding the human dimension of these artisanal fisheries. This study begins to fill that knowledge gap through participant observation and informal interviews with fishery participants. Results clarify the organizational structure and the rules-in-use of the fisheries, as well as the attitudes of fishery participants towards government regulations. The characterization will ultimately inform Environmental Defense Fund’s future work to rebuild shark populations in the region. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 4 INTRODUCTION 5 METHODS 7 CHAPTER 1: Fishery Basics 9 1.1 Biophysical Ecology 1.1.1 About the Bay of Campeche ecosystem 9 1.1.2 Shark species prevalence and biology 10 1.2 The Fishery on the Ground: Human Dimensions 1.2.1 Industry landscape and changes 12 1.2.2 Types of shark fisheries and fishing season 13 1.2.3 Fishing gear 15 1.2.4 Shark products and commercialization 16 1.2.5 Fishery structure and organization
