💨 Abstract

The Atlantic Ocean is facing a severe issue with toxic algae known as sargasso, which has reached record sizes this year, covering over 5,500 miles and weighing 31 million tons. This excessive growth, driven by climate change and agricultural runoff, is harming ecosystems and economies, particularly in the Caribbean and Florida. The sargasso emits harmful gases, irritates skin, and disrupts local tourism.
