Lineamientos Técnicos y de Gestión para la Atención de la Contingencia Ocasionada por Sargazo en el Caribe Mexicano y el Golfo de México.

Abstract

Over the last year, the Mexican government worked along local stakeholders (both public and private) to update the Sargassum Management Guidelines published a couple of years back. These new guidelines provide recommendations on best practices to recover the algae in the marine and coastal areas, artificial barriers, management around human health and turtle nesting beaches, monitoring and potential use of the algae. It also introduces a soon-to-be-online tool (currently only for Mexican territory) to upload citizen data on sargassum recollection.
