Sargassum, a type of seaweed with an unusual name, is causing significant disruptions to beach ecosystems, primarily in Mexico right now. This photo was taken in tulum Mexico 6 days ago.
What is driving the widespread proliferation of this foul-smelling seaweed globally?
Google research cites global warming as the primary cause. Since we are miles away from the Mexican Riviera, it is tempting to view this issue as someone else's concern.
Sargassum and shrinking beaches are rapidly changing our beach experiences.
To address this, Fabric Bag Solution Sewing Group continues to collaborate with teachers to promote awareness in the classroom.
Students receive one of our bags in hopes they become stewards of this precious planet.
