What is sargasso?
Sargasso is a type of seaweed that is often found in the Sargasso Sea, a region located in the North Atlantic Ocean. It is a floating algae that is unique in that it does not attach itself to the ocean floor or any other surfaces. Instead, it drifts with the ocean currents, creating a distinctive ecosystem that supports a variety of marine life. Sargasso is an important part of the ocean’s ecosystem, as it provides food and shelter for various species of fish, turtles, and other marine life.
However, in recent years, the amount of sargasso washing up on the shores of the Riviera Maya has been increasing significantly. This has caused concern among locals and tourists alike, as the buildup of sargasso can have a negative impact on the area’s beaches and marine life.
