Sargassum FAQS

Provided by the Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Labaratory|NOAA|U.S Dept. of Commerce 

WHAT IS SARGASSUM?

Sargassum is a floating brown algae, commonly called “seaweed.” These algae float at the sea surface, never attach to the sea floor, and can aggregate to form large mats in the open ocean.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SARGASSUM TO OCEAN ECOSYSTEMS?

Sargassum, in average amounts, provides habitat, food, protection, and breeding grounds for hundreds of diverse marine species, including commercially important species, such as tuna and swordfish, that feed on the smaller marine life present in Sargassum mats. If Sargassum reaches the coast in small/normal quantities, it may help to avoid beach erosion.

WHAT ARE THE DRAWBACKS OF SARGASSUM WASHING ASHORE?

Out at sea, Sargassum is an essential habitat for fish, sea turtles, and other marine organisms. Still, as it accumulates close to the coastlines, it can smother valuable corals, seagrass beds, and beaches. As it washes ashore, the seaweed decays, attracting flies and other insects. Additionally, Sargassum's breakdown produces hydrogen sulfide gas, which smells of rotten eggs, repelling beachgoers and affecting the tourism industry that depends on pristine ocean conditions. Sargassum can also impact navigation, block water intake in desalination plants, and impact benthic ecosystems after/if they sink to the bottom of the ocean.

SEA TURTLE SEASON

Sea Turtle Nesting Season is from March 1st through October 31st each year.  Our beach is the desired nesting habitat for three species of endangered sea turtles: leatherbacks, loggerheads, and greens. 

During Sea Turtle Nesting Season, turtle-friendly lighting is required beachside to minimize disorientation and make Hallandale Beach more hospitable to these endangered species.  Each morning, County crews check for new nests.  Identified nests are documented and secured to help ensure the Sea Turtle's well-being.  

Our beach cleaning crew waits for the all-clear before accessing the beach for dragging and trash removal each morning.  We appreciate your patience as we work to clear the beach.  

 Everyone must do their part to ensure future successful nesting seasons on Hallandale Beach.
