What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

NOAA tracked wind shifts that are causing sargassum to spread across the Caribbean. Researchers noted that nutrients from the Congo river may be fertilizing the seaweed growth in the region. Separately, researchers are piloting a method using black soldier fly larvae to rapidly convert sargassum into feed and fertilizer, aiming to help local governments manage the seaweed.
