The problem began in 2011 and the cause is still a mystery.  Scientists are studying the issue and have several theories (see below articles).  For now, Playa del Carmen is testing several versions of barriers to stop the sargassum from reaching the shores.  Quintana Roo has invested millions of dollars to protect their shoreline.  

When waves of sargassum - a type of seaweed - washed up on Eastern Caribbean shores seven years ago, people hoped it was a one-off. Matted piles swamped coastlines from Tobago to Anguilla. "In 2011 it was the first time we'd seen it," says Professor Hazel Oxenford, an expert in fisheries biology and management at the University of the West Indies.

The seaweed deluge hitting Caribbean shores

In retrospect, 2011 was just the first wave. That year, massive rafts of Sargassum -a brown seaweed that lives in the open ocean-washed up on beaches across the Caribbean, trapping sea turtles and filling the air with the stench of rotting eggs.

Quintana Roo is about to invest around MXN $200 million, from its own funds. The works place the first barrier in Cancún begin today, which will look to deflect the seaweed in the sea and to redirect it with the help of wind and the natural sea currents.

We have been owners of our condo for 24 years.  Playa was just a sleepy little fishing village at that time.  My how things have changed. We have all the modern conveniences that you could possibly desire and still enjoy the natural beauty of Playa del Carmen.  Our condo is a one of a kind, oversized, corner unit within 50 feet of the beach.  You will really enjoy the view from our balcony.  We hope that you enjoy this little piece of paradise as much as we do.
