The beaches of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo received the first massive flow of sargassum this year, with the greatest impact on the resorts of Playa del Carmen, Cozumel, Tulum, Xcalak, and Mahahual.
According to specialists who make up the Sargasso Monitoring Network, an NGO made up of scientists, the southeast winds of up to 40 kilometers per hour that have affected the region for several days, are carrying a lot of sargassum throughout the coast, with volumes ranging from low to moderate.
The Network establishes that so far 52 beaches have moderate amounts . . .
