#Mexico to unveil #sargassum plan as crisis worsens in #Caribbean
Specialists attribute the increase in sargassum influxes to rising ocean temperatures, greater nutrient availability and prolonged hours of solar radiation.
By Mar Puig, UPI
Published Jul 30, 2026Excerpt: "Specialists attribute the increase in sargassum influxes to rising ocean temperatures, greater nutrient availability and prolonged hours of solar radiation.
"According to La Nación, which cited Brian Barnes, an assistant research professor in the University of South Florida College of Marine Science in St. Petersburg, those factors have fueled the accelerated growth of the #macroalgae in the tropical Atlantic. "

Shifting #Climate Alters Pattern of #Atlantic’s Giant #Seaweed Blobs
Blooms of yellowish-brown seaweed along the Equator are breaking records and defiling beaches, while a centuries-old patch farther north is disappearing.
A study published Thursday in the journal Nature Geoscience finds a big shift in the growth patterns of #sargassum, a type of floating #macroalgae that provides food and shelter for fish, turtles, seabirds and other marine life.

Stony coral tissue loss disease is shifting the ecological balance of #Caribbean reefs https://phys.org/news/2024-05-stony-coral-tissue-loss-disease.html paper: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adk6808
"the disease not only reduces #coral populations but also diminishes coralline #algae, the resilient pink crust that is crucial for building reef structure. Consequently, certain fast-growing, weedy species, including #macroalgae, #cyanobacteria, and #FireCoral, thrive in the absence of competitors, spreading into the vacant spaces"

Rising sea surface temperatures have led to profound changes in #macroalgae communities over the last 40 years

"One of the main conclusions drawn is the increase in warm-affinity species in the #algae communities off the #Basque coast due to the increase in temperature, while cold-affinity ones are becoming less numerous."

kelp time :U
Aren't they cuuuute?The only thing, is, I think I should have made a yellowy color on the bull kelp.
Like, kelp in general are really yellow anyway and I was already taking some artistic license with the greens. Giant brown algae gonna be kinda brown rofl#kelp #macroalgae #algae #enamelpins #pins #shopsmall #ocean #design

In this new contribution, we compared the CO₂ removal (#CDR) potential and biogeochemical impacts of ocean alkalinity enhancement (#OAE) and #macroalgae afforestation using a global high-resolution ocean biogeochemical model.
tl;dr: OAE is better.

Scuba diving in the kelp forest in Funningsfjørður today. The Saccharina Latissima and Alaria Esculenta has grown very well since February and harvesting is ready. It will be cut now and will grow almost as much again before the second harvest in October #OceanRainforest #ScubaDiving #Diving #Kelp #Macroalgae #FaroeIslands

Pretty proud to be part of the Ocean Rainforest team as we secure funding for future growth together with investors like The Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment, Katapult Ocean's Deep Blue fund, Builders Vision and the Ocean Born Foundation.
As Paul Dobbins, Senior Director of Impact Investing at World Wildlife Fund - US, says: “With limited environmental impacts and a low carbon footprint, seaweed absorbs CO2 and other excess nutrients from the ocean, making this fast-growing crop a climate-smart and nutritious food source,”
“But seaweed can only thrive as a climate change solution if we create a market for the many food, feed and fossil-based replacement products seaweed can provide. Ocean Rainforest is addressing the feed market and their successful capital raise shines a spotlight on this growing opportunity.”

RT @OceanYodeller: Our paper that mapped #intertidal #macroalgae and #eelgrass in SW Greenland was supported by @HereonHelmholtz, @EcoscienceAU, and @ARC_AU.
CTD data and #Sentinel2 images were provided by @GEM_Arctic and @CopernicusEU, respectively
Lots of #opensource #science in this paper!
