Large amounts of sargassum continue to wash ashore along Curaçao’s coastline, with the impact becoming increasingly visible at Shete Boka National Park, where thick mats of brown seaweed have accumulated along the shore and in the water.
Visitors and conservationists report that the smell of decomposing sargassum has become difficult to ignore in some coastal areas, a clear sign that the seaweed is not only affecting the landscape but also the delicate marine ecosystems that depend on those waters.
