Major Sargassum beaching events are inevitable around the Caribbean and along the coasts of Florida this summer, estimated to be around 13 million tons. This has the potential to cause significant issues for both marine ecology and local tourism. As belts of seaweed continue to move inland, we encourage businesses and communities on the coast to contact us to develop a plan to mitigate the impact of Sargassum season.
