Empty beaches and 'unbearable stench': Mexico wages war on sargassum weeds空荡荡的海滩和“令人难以忍受的恶臭”：墨西哥向马尾藻宣战
Efforts to contain the sargassum influx include Mexico's Navy-operated collection vessel, offshore barriers and beach-cleaning operations along the country's Caribbean coast, a key tourism destination affected by the seaweed invasion.

A small skiff moves through a stinking carpet of sargassum, dragging what looks like a threshing machine through the brown, floating seaweed choking the normally clear waters of the Mexican Caribbean.
A round-the-clock defense is underway against the invasion in Mexico's international tourism hub, including boats, barriers and manual beach cleaning teams, though officials are still downplaying the impact.

2026年8月6日，在墨西哥金塔纳罗奥州普拉亚德尔卡门海滩，一名游客坐在堆积如山的马尾藻旁。为控制马尾藻的入侵，墨西哥采取了多项措施，包括动用海军运营的收集船、设置近海屏障以及在加勒比海沿岸开展海滩清理行动。加勒比海沿岸是受马尾藻入侵影响的主要旅游目的地之一。——图片：阿尔弗雷多·埃斯特雷拉/法新社
一艘小船穿过散发着恶臭的马尾藻，拖着一台看起来像脱粒机的东西，穿过棕色的、漂浮的海藻，这些海藻堵塞了墨西哥加勒比海通常清澈的海水。
墨西哥国际旅游中心正全天候防御海龟入侵，包括出动船只、设置屏障和派出人工海滩清洁队，但官员们仍在淡化海龟入侵的影响。
