Sargassum seaweed causes fish kill in St Andrew

Sargassum seaweed causes fish kill in St Andrew   Article by Authorities are investigating a fish kill in the Greenpond at Morgan Lewis Beach, St Andrew. According to Minister of Maritime Affairs and Blue Economy Kirk Humphrey, who toured the area today with other ministry officials and the top brass of the Coastal Zone Management Unit, preliminary evidence indicates that the fish in the pond are dying from the sargassum seaweed that has been pushed into major coastal wetlands by significant sea swells. “So, between the salt water and the sargassum seaweed getting into the pond, it made it very difficult for life in the pond to continue as normal, and that’s the reason why we are seeing some of the fish affected in the way that they are being affected. We are hoping to reduce that in the very near future,” Humphrey said.

Buoys for safety of beachgoers

Social Share Director of the Coastal Zone Management Unit, Dr Leo Brewster, is urging swimmers and sea bathers to avoid swimming between buoys being installed at beaches across the island. He made this appeal as the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy began the installation of water sports and jet ski corridors at beaches across the island. This is expected to take place over the next two and a half months. At present, corridors are installed at Carlisle Bay Beach, Bay Street, St Michael, and at Lower Carlton Beach in St James. “The intention behind the corridors is to clearly demarcate the area where water craft…as well as jet ski operators are supposed to come to shore and leave shore with their patrons on board. This way is to control and better manage how the motorised water craft use the shoreline space,” he said.
