"Looking ahead: Sargassum amount in most regions is set to increase in the coming month [March]. The W Caribbean and the windward side of the Lesser Antilles will continue to see beaching events. Sargassum amount in the Gulf will remain low. Because of the continuous growth from November to February and because of the record-high Sargassum amount in most regions, 2026 is set to be another major Sargassum year (i.e., Sargassum amount exceeds 75% of the historical values)."
