Adelphi, Charlotte Parish, St Vincent, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: black sand beach with an orange-brown band of sargassum seaweed stretching along the coastline. The accumulation of sargassum seaweed, which has become an increasingly common phenomenon in the Caribbean, transforms the natural color of the beach into a rusty stripe between the ocean and the tropical landscape. This type of sargassum invasion poses challenges for coastal communities, tourism, and marine ecosystems. When sargassum accumulates in large quantities, it can create various problems including unpleasant odors as it decomposes, barriers to beach access and beach closure, impacts on marine life and nesting sea turtles, challenges for local tourism and difficulties for fishermen trying to launch their boats.

$Rockweed (Fucus gardneri) has lacy mounds of flat, greenish-brown leaves. It is a brown hairless alga that is part of intertidal life along the Pacific North American coast. When mature, the tips become bladders that puff up with a mixture of gas bubbles and jelly to make it float in the water. This allows the wide, mitten- like blades of the seaweed to be exposed to sunlight. These blades are used as a location for fish to lay eggs and sperm. The Holdfast is the section that keeps the seaweed anchored to a rock, so it doesn’t wash ashore with the tides. The Blades are wide to catch sunlight for photosynthesis.The tips are edible. Settlers referred to them as “Indian popcorn” because Aboriginal Tribes dried them to eat. \nOther names are bladderwrack and popweed.$
