What do we know about sargassum by Loretta Rosan Marquez https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e KWL Chart en-us 2018-09-03 16:09:28 UTC 2018-09-20 15:47:43 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padletuploads.blob.core.windows.net/prod/91810442/4eab4ab0d7f4cb776574703dd4e24fd6/giraffe_icon.svg Cancun is having an issue with turist not coming to their country. the reason for this is because there is a plant named sargasum that is multiplying in great numbers and it is starting to smell bad and people can not have a good time because it smells horrible. In the ocean there is a lot of sargasum and people can not actually go through it. the sargasum is starting to spread out to other countries, the problem is that we can not just take the sargasum away because there are marine creatures living among them and if we take it away from them that might mean that those creatures can be banished from existance. Scientist are doing test to see what they can do to solve this problem but they havent got the answer. loretta_r_3296 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/277544886 2018-09-04 13:40:29 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/277544886 I wonder how the sargasum started growing and since when it started growing. loretta_r_3296 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/278509398 2018-09-06 16:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/278509398 We wonder why the sargasum grew bigger and bigger threw time since the sargasum was there in the ocean a long time ago so why it suddenly started growing. maria_c_1626 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/278510856 2018-09-06 16:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/278510856 I wonder what the solution will be to solve the problem, and if it will affect other species. loretta_r_3296 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/278511286 2018-09-06 16:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/278511286 I wonder were the sargassum came from. loretta_r_3296 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/278513425 2018-09-06 16:06:27 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/278513425 I Learned diego_b_2065 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279475274  
I learned that in the world the sargasm is invading the beaches like Cancun or Playa del Carmen. Also I learned that this can affect turisum and the economy in cities like Cancun and Yucatan.  Also I learned what sargassum is. It is discribed as brown algae up to half a meter in height, fixed to the substrate by a conical basal disc, from which comes a short shaft with well-developed cylindrical branches bearing foliaceous branches up to 6 cm long and 6 mm wide.

Pneumatocysts add buoyancy to the plant structure and allows it to flow on the surface. maria_c_1626 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279476430 https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/facts/sargassum.html]]> 2018-09-10 15:48:25 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279476430 I learned gaston_v_1832 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279480013 That the sargassum comes from the golf of Mexico.Also the the sargassum can effect the economy of that place because less people come because of the sargassum of the smell and the stink.Facts of sargassum.]]> 2018-09-10 15:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279480013 I wonder if there is going to be a solution, what would it be. diego_b_2065 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279483110 2018-09-10 16:01:06 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279483110 When Sargassum loses its buoyancy, it sinks to the seafloor, and it provides energy in the form of carbon to fishes and invertebrates in the deep sea. maria_c_1626 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279483824 https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/facts/sargassum.html]]> 2018-09-10 16:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279483824 What I Wonder gaston_v_1832 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279484860 I wonder way the sargassum gets bigger bigger everyday or how it reproduce.Why there is so much sargassum in the golf of Mexico]]> 2018-09-10 16:04:01 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279484860 I wonder how was the sargassum discovered diego_b_2065 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279484888 2018-09-10 16:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279484888 I wonder if since the amount of sargassum is increasing if it will increase eaven more in the future and cover the whole ocean maria_c_1626 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279485356 2018-09-10 16:04:52 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279485356 I wonder if the sargassum can be eaten by fish and then there will be none. diego_b_2065 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279485495 2018-09-10 16:05:06 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279485495 Sargassum is multiplaying in huge amounts in Mexico. Beach-lovers might view it as nothing more than a smelly annoyance spreading throuhgt the beach and the ocean. However, we need to consider that this reproductive plant is home to a huge amount of sea life. loretta_r_3296 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279848922

Three months ago, the natural sargassum season began on the Caribbean coasts, every year at this time some sargassum accumulates on the coasts and after a while it disappears due to marine currents. maria_c_1626 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/279857636 https://clubsolaris.com/blog/what-is-the-seaweed-sargassum

People are making solutions for this issue but they are not working as they want them to work. A solution that might work for this issue is putting a huge net in a place far from the shore and acumulate all of the sargassum there. The animals that live in there would be able to go throuh the holes of the net and leave when they want to. When there is more sargassum in the shore they just grab it with some nets and take it to the spot where all the sargassum is taken. loretta_r_3296 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/280910352 2018-09-13 15:51:44 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/280910352 i learned that the sargaso sea is in the western atlantic ocean and that there are massive cuantities of sargassum and that it can have negative impacts on tourism. But it isnt a human health risk. maria_c_1626 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/280917016 https://www.britannica.com/science/Sargassum]]> 2018-09-13 16:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/280917016 A possible solution for sargassum would be collect the Sargassum seaweed from the beach or sea in clean plastic bags. diego_b_2065 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/280918250 2018-09-13 16:03:34 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/280918250 But were did it come from?Scientist think that sargassum is originated fron the coast of South America. loretta_r_3296 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/280920774 akumaldiveshop.com/sargassum-the-what-where-and-why-of-this-seaweed/

There is not a clear answer, but people believe that when a part breaks away, it is not the end of it; the fragment drifts and could seemingly reproduce forever, this is why it is reproducing so much. loretta_r_3296 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/280921796 akumaldiveshop.com/sargassum-the-what-where-and-why-of-this-seaweed/

]]> 2018-09-13 16:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/280921796 We think that a solution could be to make some kind of liquid or dust that will disolve the sargassum and turn it into sand. And to put it in the sargasum that is in the sand, and there could be diffrent tests to either decrease the sargasum and make it smaller because it rottens or to disintegrate the srgasum with the liquid or dust. maria_c_1626 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/282888711 2018-09-18 13:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/282888711 gaston_v_1832 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/282893215 Something that would help cleaning up the beaches would be  he beachcleaning  Scarbat machine is specially constructed to withdraw seaweed and to raise sargasso / sargassum in an easy and comfortable way. The front compress adapts to every type of seaweed and allows to work on a high speed, removing all kinds of seaweed and sargasso. ]]> 2018-09-18 13:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/282893215 Solution diego_b_2065 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/282908953 A possible solution is that we could so a net thet could cach sargassum and not cach fish so the fish would be fine. And for the fish and animals that live in the sargassum we could move the fish with the sargassum and either eat the, of take them to another place where the sargassum wont disturb anyone.]]> 2018-09-18 14:06:00 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/282908953 We think that a good solution could be to get as many volanteers as we can to clean the sargassum from the beaches. This is because we dont think that machines would work better that if we do it manualy because you can hurt the enviroment that is on the beach. We have no doubt that people will volunteer to help their community. maria_c_1626 https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/283990257 2018-09-20 15:43:25 UTC https://padlet.com/loretta_r_3296/kgccbol53w0e/wish/283990257
