[Coral-List] Sargassum proliferation in SW Atlantic

Dear Ronaldo,

Flying from Tobago back to Trinidad yesterday there were some Sargassum mats gathering along the windrows (edges of Langmuir cells) but there hasn't yet been much accumulation on the beaches. Our last significant Sargassum episode was in February of this year and the last really major proliferation was in July 2017.

Cheers,

Dear all

I am just back from a 25 days expedition to the Amazon Reef region (0-5 N) and we have documented a huge *Sargassum *proliferation from 0-110 m depth.
Any similar observations for the south Caribbean?

All best

Ronaldo Francini-Filho
