Mexico cleaned 100K+ tons of sargassum in 2026, but the seaweed crisis is now threatening its tourism
In 2026, a massive expanse of Sargassum seaweed has taken over the Atlantic Ocean, wreaking havoc on coastal areas. Mexico is facing an unprecedented surge in seaweed accumulation, which is damaging its tourism sector. The foul odor has led to a notable decline in visitors, leaving local businesses in distress. Though scientists predict improvement by late autumn, a permanent solution is still unknown.
