Caribbean Seaweed Issue - People Cancelling Their Holidays?
Discussion
Apparently it's the worst it's ever been and some countries are calling for it to be officially classified as a natural disaster. It's not just affecting one country but almost all of them, Mexico, Dom Rep, Trinidad & Tobago to mention just 3. Thousands are cancelling their holidays. Here's some links.

Here's a picture of the beach I was at recently near Cancun. This is from a live webcam taken today.
Anyone else worried their holiday will be disappointing because of this or maybe even thinking of cancelling?

Just checked our resort in Grenada no sign of any seaweed there yet
Atlantic or Caribbean side of Grenada?That said everyone going to the Caribbean should be checking just so they aren't disappointed when they get there.
Was chatting to locals back in June - worst they've had for years. They think it was started by a hurricane that blew through from the Pacific earlier this year (I have no idea how that would affect currents etc in the Caribbean but hey ho!). This was Tulum beach when I was there:
Was a shame I couldn't see the beach in all its glory, and the weather hardly helped, but was still beautiful!

Poisonous gases from decomposing seaweed? really?
It will probably make some hydrogen sulphide, which is indeed poisonous although you know about it well before it reaches danger levels if you have a functioning nose, and on an open beach as opposed to an enclosed space you'd just get nuisance levels unless you started digging around in it.GT03ROB said:
