The nightmare has returned to the Mexican Caribbean as the beaches of tourist centers such as Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Morelos, and Tulum are now filled with high volumes of sargassum, which has turned their crystal blue waters into a brown muck of seaweed.
However, this problem is not unique to Mexico. According to the Cancún Sargassum Monitoring Network, the plague has affected 30 countries and territories in the Caribbean. Cases have been reported in the shores of Cuba, the Turks and Caicos islands, Inagua, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Grand Caiman, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras.
The list also mentioned the Lesser Antilles, as well as the Florida Peninsula in the United States.
Following a report issued earlier in the weak, coastal authorities expect more sargassum to arrive in the Puerto Morelos, Solidaridad, Cozumel, Tulum, and Felipe Carrillo Puerto municipalities, as well as the coastal areas of Bacalar and Othón P. Blanco.

Cancún mayor “Mara” Lezama has acknowledged the seriousness of the issue since the volumes of macro-algae have been arriving at a high speed. “The shores started filling up with sargassum in a matter of hours,” she stated, adding that no federal resources had been allocated to deal with the problem.
