Mexico Beach Tourism Threatened By Waves Of Stinking, Putrid Algae
  • 5 years ago
A type of foul-smelling algae called sargassum won't stop washing up on the shores of Mexico's most popular tourism beaches.
Resort-packed beaches such as Cancun and Tulum are part of of Mexico's $100 billion tourism industry.
According to Business Insider, resorts now spend millions annually attempting to get rid of the smelly algae.
Experts say because of climate change, the amounts of sargassum washing to shore could only get worse.
