A huge, sticky carpet of brown algae is raging in the Caribbean. The so-called wave tongs emit hydrogen sulfide and rot away in a disgusting mass on the holiday beaches. The plague kills fish and turtles and threatens tourism. This report from Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula describes who is responsible for this out-of-control plague and what the way out might be.
“We reap what we sow, thank you so much Monsanto,” says tourist guide Jessica on a tour of the world-famous Sian Ka’an National Park near Tulum. The boat trip goes from the mangroves to the open sea, from afar the Caribbean turquoise of the sea shimmers, coming closer, giant brown spots disturb the catalog image. “It’s maddening. The Caribbean goes to the dogs.”
