In light of the influx of sargassum in the Caribbean region, Jamaica will today host a regional forum to facilitate collaboration to address the matter.

The forum, which is being spearheaded by the Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre (GTRCM), will be held at the Regional Headquarters of The University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona, a release from the Ministry of Tourism said yesterday.

According to the Jamaica Observer Newspaper, the objective of the forum is to share knowledge and best practices as it relates to sargassum, specifically the type which originates from the coast of Brazil.

Professor Richard Bernal, pro-vice-chancellor for Global Affairs at The UWI says: The UWI has been monitoring and identifying solutions to the sargassum situation and this forum will provide an opportunity for collaboration with stakeholders across the Caribbean to further examine the threat and identify practical and cost effective solutions.”
