A monster seaweed bloom is taking over the Atlantic

Sargassum has escaped the Sargasso Sea and exploded across the Atlantic, forming the massive Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt. Fueled by nutrient runoff, Amazon outflows, and climate events, these blooms now reshape ecosystems, economies, and coastlines on a staggering scale.

The Government of #StKitts and #Nevis is exploring solutions to address the growing problem of #sargassum seaweed that continues to wash up along the #beaches. https://www.sknvibes.com/news/newsdetails.cfm/126257

This used to be a stretch of sandy beach in Humacao, Puerto Rico. Thanks to warming water temperatures, sargassum seaweed blooms have choked beaches all around the Caribbean islands.

Not only is the seaweed clogging the beach, it seems to contribute to beach erosion. There's now a steep drop off where there used to be soft dunes. We saw plenty of dead fish that were probably caught in the mass of seaweed and died when the tide dropped.

Scientists say there were 38 million metric tons of #sargassum in May. That’s the most they’ve ever recorded since they started tracking it in 2011. The last big record was 22 million metric tons in June 2022. https://www.thestkittsnevisobserver.com/sargassum-is-a-stinker/

Über 31 Millionen Tonnen #Sargassum treiben derzeit Richtung #Florida und #Karibik.

Das rasante Wachstum des giftigen #Seetangs bedroht #Ökosysteme, #Tourismus und #Gesundheit.

Hauptursachen sind steigende #Meerestemperaturen und übermäßiger #Nährstoffeintrag durch #Landwirtschaft. Während Küstenregionen mit aufwendiger Räumung reagieren, wird auch an nachhaltiger Nutzung geforscht, etwa für #Biokunststoffe oder #Wasserfilter.

31 million tons of supercharged seaweed is creeping toward beaches in Florida and around the Caribbean

Sargassum hurts ecosystems and economies wherever its overgrown arms reach. And the seaweed is reaching into Florida’s waterways, coating marinas and beaches in the Miami area.

Each year, between March and October, large amounts of brown seaweed called #sargassum wash up on the shores of #Caribbean islands – choking #beaches, damaging #marine life and threatening tourism and public health. https://theconversation.com/how-a-toxic-seaweed-choking-caribbean-beaches-could-become-a-valuable-resource-253874
How a toxic seaweed choking Caribbean beaches could become a valuable resource

The sargassum problem is just one of many creeping slow onset events that is being exacerbated by climate change.
