Caribbean Seaweed Issue - People Cancelling Their Holidays?

[Dawkins]

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?

Here's 80 miles further down the coast from Cancun at Tulum from a live webcam 5 minutes ago. You can make out somebody just standing in front of the seaweed.

Here they are trying to clear the beach for tourists now - but it will all be back tomorrow, you can see how much of it is in the water

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.

As I said yesterday

And here it is again this morning (10 minutes ago)



This has been happening for months now, day in and day out. By the time they come along and clear it each day the day is nearly over anyway and your time at the beach already ruined.

Good luck mate!
