I did the search. Here's the photo. It is from a Chicago Tribune article in August 2015. Stinking mats of seaweed piling up on Caribbean beaches
Another from 2015... Mexico’s Navy is Battling Seaweed Along the Caribbean Coast | Smart News | Smithsonian
NOT a recent article. August, yes, but August 2015! Stinking mats of seaweed piling up on Caribbean beaches
There's always a use for everything. Nudes in the seaweed is Spencer Tunick's latest photography project T
August 2015? Yes...and the problem continues. Please read carefully, this article is dated September 2018 (and I was just there earlier this month & saw it with my own eyes). Cancun hardest hit by arrival of endless seaweed - Riviera Maya News
This is posted in the general "Cancun info" forum, not the Temptation forum, LOL. Please don't shoot the messenger. There are actually people who go to Cancun for a variety of interests...many involve the beach & ocean water. Silly me.
Sorry, but I didn't realize that is was not in the TTR forum until after posting. Silly me. Regardless, you made claims using pics from 2015. Likewise, I was there earlier this month and I did not see anything remotely close to what you are describing. I've been there three times this year and never saw it. There was quite a bit of seaweed in 2015, but I have not seen anything out of the ordinary since then.
What are you disagreeing with? Here's a screen grab of the picture with the date under it. Are you saying it is wrong?
