TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Sargassum redux

I see from You Tube Saturday , a posted drone video of Cul-de-Sac sargassum up to 30 yards thick from shore. Wondering how it is further south to Mt. Vernon , Orient and Club O?

Thanks for advice...

Was in Orient on sunday. Yes, bit of sargassum but varied over beach. People swimming. More like "last bit needed some cleaning up" than fresh influx

Boy, that looks awful.

Seen this building up the last couple of seasons. It really changes the whole feel of the bay. Locals must be pulling their hair out trying to keep up with cleanup

I just watched this video on how people are finding uses for the Sargassum. This is fabulous. If a profit can be made by collecting this, assuredly the cleanups will become very efficient!

Interesting

This is all well and fine. But the REAL question is: How do we find a way to capture this product BEFORE it hits landfall????
