Municipal authorities closed a quarry in Isla Mujeres in November 2025 after residents complained about constant explosions, dust, and noise associated with stone extraction. The closure was implemented due to deficiencies in municipal permits, non-compliance with Civil Protection regulations, and activities incompatible with local land uses. Isla Mujeres Mayor Atenea Gómez Ricalde confirmed on September 26, 2026, that the closure will continue as long as the conditions prompting the intervention persist.
