Summary
[edit]DescriptionMassive sargassum bloom in the Atlantic Ocean.jpg |
English: This image, acquired on 14 March by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites, captures banks of sargassum floating off the coast of the French island of Martinique in the Caribbean Sea. Sargassum is a brown seaweed commonly found in the Atlantic Ocean. However, the largest bloom in years began in early 2023 and has affected many coastlines in the region, causing damage to the tourism industry. The Copernicus Sentinel-3 data and Marine Service information on chlorophyll and currents enable the development of near-real-time monitoring and drift forecasts of sargassum in the Equatorial Atlantic region. |
