\n\t\t\tSargassum Miami Beach\t<\/h1>\n\t

Chak ane, plaj nou yo ka w\u00e8 yon ogmantasyon nan sargassum soti mas rive okt\u00f2b, ak mwa pik yo jeneralman se jen ak jiy\u00e8. Sargassum se yon kalite alg mawon k ap flote ki vwayaje atrav\u00e8 Oseyan Atlantik la. Pandan ke rive li ka sipriz moun ki ale b\u00f2 lanm\u00e8 yo, li jwe yon w\u00f2l enp\u00f2tan nan anviw\u00f2nman koty\u00e8 a epi Konte Miami-Dade retire li epi jere li chak jou atrav\u00e8 yon p\u00e8mi Leta.<\/p>\n

Adrese pwobl\u00e8m sargassum nan kad regilasyon yo se yon priyorite akty\u00e8l ak alont\u00e8m pou Vil Miami Beach.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\"youtube-video-thumbnail\"\/\n\t

In Miami Beach, seaweed-specifically sargassum-is a type of brown algae that floats on the ocean’s surface thanks to small, gas-filled sacs called pneumatocysts. Common throughout the Atlantic, sargassum often forms large floating mats influenced by ocean currents, wind patterns and changing weather conditions.<\/p>\n

Sargassum gen benefis anviw\u00f2nman paske li s\u00e8vi k\u00f2m yon abita pou lavi maren migrat\u00e8 tankou krab, kribich, tortu lanm\u00e8 ak k\u00e8k pwason. Ti kantite ki rive sou rivaj la ede konstwi ak nouri din sab, ki pwoteje litoral yo kont ewozyon, gwo mare ak tanp\u00e8t. Li se youn nan karakteristik esansy\u00e8l abita kritik deziyen pou tortu lanm\u00e8 lougar\u00e8t ak abita kritik pwopoze pou tortu lanm\u00e8 v\u00e8t anba lalwa a. Lwa sou Esp\u00e8s ki an Danje (ESA)<\/a><\/strong>. Li s\u00e8vi k\u00f2m yon z\u00f2n pepiny\u00e8 prensipal pou yon varyete pwason tankou mahi mahi, jack ak amberjack. Yo te jwenn tou ke li abs\u00f2be eleman nitritif yo epi sekestre diyoksid kab\u00f2n, sa ki ede diminye asidifikasyon oseyan an epi retire polisyon nan dlo maren yo.<\/p>\n

Depi 2011, kantite sargassum ki rive sou k\u00f2t Karayib yo ak Florid yo ogmante. Nan Miami Beach, gwo kantite tipikman rive soti nan Mas rive Okt\u00f2b. <\/strong>Satelit yo ka swiv sargassum sou lanm\u00e8, men kantite egzak ak kote sargassum ki ateri chak jou sou plaj nou yo varye ak\u00f2z van lokal yo, kouran oseyan yo ak mare ki chanje ki ka lak\u00f2z... Ev\u00e8nman Inondasyon Sargassum (SIE)<\/strong>.<\/a> When sargassum reaches our beaches, it decomposes onshore. The decomposition process can produce odors caused by natural hydrogen sulfide and ammonia gases. While sargassum accumulation can disrupt beachgoers, sargassum is removed from hot spot areas and cut into the shoreline daily by Miami-Dade County through a State permit.<\/p>\n
