Belize to Attend Regional Sargassum Conference

For the past several years, the sargassum invasion has affected most if not all of the Caribbean countries, some more than others. Some have gone ahead to find creative ways to dispose of it or to turn it into something useful. And later this year, Caribbean countries will meet to discuss this one common problem. San Pedro has had its share of dealing with sargassum and Belize Rural South Area Representative Andre Perez says Belize will likely be present at that assembly in September in Grenada.

“This sargassum is everybody’s problem, especially the Caribbean, and we are in the western part of the Caribbean and we are like the funnel to receive all that. I’m sure the sargassum task force is participating because remember there’s a sargassum task force. So I’m sure that there’s participation there.”
