Now, this is pitching in. A crew of people, including official workers and volunteers, spent three days cleaning up a popular tourist beach in Mexico.
The people removed sargassum from a portion of Isla Mujeres. In fact, they cleaned up more than 580 tons of the seaweed-like substance. The icky stuff formed and then washed up on the beaches after a bout with bad weather. The area was hit hard by torrential rains.
About 250 people were involved with the project, including one person who operated a backhoe and several dump truck drivers. Following the clean-up that began last Wednesday, the beaches are open to the public.
“In order to keep the beaches of the municipality clean, tidy and free of sargassum in the face of the atypical seaweed wash-up that occurred a few days ago as a result of adverse weather, the Municipal Government, through Zofemat Isla Mujeres, has strengthened the actions to collect seaweed from the sand,” Mayor Atenea Gomez Ricalde said.
As the weather intensified, she activated a plan for the removal of the sargassum.
“We have activated this operation to which collaborators from all the departments of the City Council, fishermen from the Temporary Employment Program, the Mexican Navy, street vendors and local merchants have joined, who are supporting and teaming up with our Zofemat warriors,” said the Mayor.
This area of Mexico has been known to attract tourists.
