For the second time this year, individuals have built walls in the Yucatán port . Through social media , neighbors denounced that a homeowner had built a wall on the beach so that people can't walk or cross through this area.
Two months ago, a U.S. couple did the same and then were forced to tear down the fence they had installed on the beach .
According to neighbors, this wall would “ privatize ” a part of the beach , which is illegal .
They are also asking federal, state, and local authorities to solve the issue since this generates a bad image for the beach .
The Federal Attorney's Office for Environmental Protection (PROFEPA)
fined the U.S. couple and ordered the removal of the fence .
In the case of the couple, the man built a fence on the beach and blocked the locals from walking through that area. After the social media post went viral, Anne Cleasy , said they would remove the fence . They were fined because the Mexican law establishes that beaches are free and open to all.
