Mexico’s Caribbean Coast Battles Growing Sargassum Invasion

Mexico’s Caribbean coast is facing another major influx of Sargassum, with large quantities of the seaweed washing onto beaches. The buildup threatens marine life and the tourism industry, a key part of the region’s economy. Authorities have deployed the navy to help manage the problem and keep beaches clear. Scientists warn that increasingly frequent Sargassum arrivals could become a new normal for the region.
