Considered the single greatest threat to the Caribbean, the influx of Sargassum continues to accumulate along the coastline of our country. At one point this event was only seen once a year but due to climate change, we are beginning to see an increase in occurrence and volume. The thick blanket of this sea plant is not only a nuisance, but it also brings with it a lot of plastics and other trash and has detrimental effects to marine life. The Toledo Institute for Development and Environment TIDE will be organizing a beach clean-up campaign on Friday, July 27th to quickly remove the Sargassum.
