Mexico, Dominican Republic to Partner on Sargassum Seaweed Fight

Mexico and the Dominican Republic are teaming up to tackle a big seaweed problem.

A type of seaweed called sargassum is piling up on their beaches, which smells bad and hurts the environment.

They're planning a meeting to figure out how to stop it.

The seaweed is growing because of pollution and warmer oceans.

It is also affecting tourism.

Scientists are studying how to use the seaweed for things like fuel and fertilizer.

The goal is to keep beaches clean and protect the environment.
