[Coral-List] Sargassum proliferation in SW Atlantic

[Ronaldo Francini-Filho]

Dear Mark

Thank you very much for your feedback.  Last year was ugly here in Brazil
too.  There are some colleagues also recording Sargassum proliferation in
few locations in south Caribbean at this moment, so this year we may be
facing a delayed and not so strong event, hopefully.

Cheers

Ronaldo
