The phenomenon, which affects Caribbean beaches especially in summer, it happens at a time when tourism in the Dominican Republic increases considerably.
The Dominican Republic received 2.9 million tourists between January and May, a figure that doubles the 1.4 million that came to the nation in the same period of the previous year.
A university in Boston in the United States has been working for several years in the country to develop a system for the effective management of sargassum at sea.
The action seeks to avoid further damage to the beaches and coasts that could be reflected in tourism as published by the educational institution from its mechanical engineering department.

The mission is carried out by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Boston University number one in the world in engineering, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
Ulises Jáuregui, doctor in technical sciences and coordinator of the doctorate in environmental sciences at INTEC University, that the integration of national and regional organizations could contribute to deal with the problem of sargassum on the coasts, which he said is not only a problem for the Dominican Republic.
“I think that in order to support and solve the problem there must be an integration of national and regional organizations, to face this problem”, he expressed.
Jáuregui said that with the integrated management systems and by facilitating research, it would be possible to see what are the efficient uses that could be given to the large volume of biomass from sargassum, which he considered which has “a lot of utility and several applications”.
