Sargassum Monitoring started in 2018 when a group of marine-enthusiasts couldn’t stand that nothing was done about the ever-growing arrivals of excess of Sargassum seaweeds (Brown Algae) to the Shore of Mexico. They choose to start documenting and raising awareness about this environmental catastrophe as well as helping impacted local communities to equip themselves and preserve the marine life and coastal fauna and flora.

Les chercheurs conseillent d'éviter les échouages avec des barrières flottantes pour protéger les plages.

A recent scientific study validates the proactive and cautious approach adopted by local authorities in Guadeloupe. The installation of barriers diverting sargassum seaweed banks emerges as the best option, according to its findings. These installations limit strandings and, consequently, metal concentrations on exposed coasts. The deployment of these diverting barricades is accelerating across the Guadeloupean
