Satellite Images Reveal an Unusual Opening in the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt Figure 1. Before the opening formed, the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt displayed a relatively continuous structure. The latest analyses conducted by Sargassum Monitoring have identified an unusual development within the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt. By comparing satellite images collected over recent weeks, we […]

9-Meter Mountains of Sargassum: A Growing Environmental and Public Health Concern in the French Caribbean In several French Caribbean islands, massive piles of decomposing sargassum are now reaching heights of up to 9 meters. These are no longer simple algae accumulations along the shoreline. They resemble mountains. 🎥 Videos and field images show heavy machinery

Photo of the French army coming to pick up sargassum in 2018 – 7 ppm of H₂S Measured on a Sargassum Pile in Playa del Carmen: A Concerning Level A recent scientific report filmed in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, revealed a concentration of 7 ppm of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) measured directly above a sargassum pile.

“A New Study Reveals the Triggering Factor Behind Massive Sargassum Blooms” Since 2011, massive sargassum strandings have disrupted marine ecosystems and coastal communities in the tropical Atlantic. A recent study, published in Communications Earth & Environment, highlights a key element behind this phenomenon: an extreme North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) event in 2009-2010. An Ecological Shift
