Where seaweed may reach the coast.
Not yet available from GMS
The sargassum outlook will appear here once GMS publishes it.
Sargassum is a floating brown seaweed. Since 2011, very large amounts have grown across the tropical Atlantic, and currents and trade winds carry mats of it into the eastern Caribbean, mostly from spring to autumn.
Grenada's Atlantic coast, including Bathway and Levera, sees the most. Satellites track the mats at sea, which lets us give a few weeks' notice of heavier arrivals.
