The <strong>Sargasso Sea<\/strong>, which refers to the fantastic stories of pirates and explorers, owes its name to that type of vegetable. So widespread in certain periods of the year as to slow down the navigation of sailing ships. <strong>Cristoforo Colombo<\/strong> already complained about it: it seems &#8211; the Genoese navigator recounted in his logbook &#8211; that they were stranded on immense sandbanks.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>A floating &#8220;blob&#8221;<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Centuries later, however, the presence of these legendary algae appears to be <strong>out of control<\/strong>: much greater in quantity (the sargasso tide extends for about 8850 kilometres, weighing approximately <strong>22 million tons of matter<\/strong>). And above all it is multiplying in unusual periods. Too soon, in months that should still be late winter. So much so that in recent days and weeks it has invaded many beaches in Florida and the northern Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"USATODAY- Embed Player\" src=\"https:\/\/uw-media.usatoday.com\/embed\/video\/11316266002?placement=snow-embed\" width=\"540\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5>From resource to pathology<\/h5>\n<p>And so, the presence of sargassum &#8211; which in &#8220;normal&#8221; quantities are <strong>essential for the biodiversity<\/strong> of that portion of the Atlantic, producing oxygen and ensuring <strong>an ideal habitat f<\/strong>or marine fauna. &#8211; becomes <strong>pathological<\/strong>.

Researchers from the University of South Florida&#8217;s Department of Marine Biology have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org\/doi\/10.1126\/science.aaw7912#tab-contributors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">studying the phenomenon<\/a> for several years. Also using satellite data provided by <strong>NASA<\/strong>, they have observed an increase in sargassum blooms since at least 2011. According to the team led by professors Mengqiu Wang and Chuanmin Hu, the phenomenon is connected with what is happening in the Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>The main suspects are in fact the increase in <strong>deforestation<\/strong> (resumed at full speed in Brazil <a href=\"https:\/\/resoilfoundation.org\/en\/environment\/amazon-deforestation-lula-brazil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">with President Bolsonaro<\/a>) to make way for large expanses of arable land and the massive use of <strong>chemical fertilizers.<\/strong> In fact, the latter are designed to favor the rapid growth of agricultural products. But those same substances then end up arriving in waterways up to the great Amazon River. And from there to the sea. Ocean currents have done the rest, causing an uncontrolled increase in sargasso algae. Factors that make Professor Hu say that &#8220;the recurrent blooms of sea bream in the tropical Atlantic and in the Caribbean Sea may become the new norm&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I principali indiziati sono infatti l&#8217;aumento della <strong>deforestazione<\/strong> (ripresa a pieno regime in Brasile <a href=\"https:\/\/resoilfoundation.org\/en\/articles\/amazon-deforestation-lula-brazil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">con il presidente Bolsonaro<\/a>) per far posto ad ampie distese di suolo coltivabile e l&#8217;uso massiccio di <strong>fertilizzanti chimici.<\/strong> Questi ultimi infatti, sono progettati per favorire la crescita rapida dei prodotti agricoli. Ma quelle stesse sostanze finiscono poi per arrivare nei corsi d&#8217;acqua fino al grande <strong>Rio delle Amazzoni.<\/strong> E da l\u00ec fino al mare. Le correnti oceaniche hanno fatto il resto, provocando un aumento incontrollato delle alghe sargasso. Fattori che fanno dire al professor Hu che \u201cle fioriture ricorrenti dei saraggi nell&#8217;Atlantico tropicale e nel Mar dei Caraibi possono diventare la nuova norma\u201d.<\/p>\n<div class='avia-iframe-wrap'>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"oY2D4EnXSa\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/resoilfoundation.org\/en\/environment\/amazon-deforestation-lula-brazil\/\">Record monthly deforestation in the Amazon is alarming for Lula<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Record monthly deforestation in the Amazon is alarming for Lula&#8221; &#8212; Re Soil Foundation\" src=\"https:\/\/resoilfoundation.org\/en\/environment\/amazon-deforestation-lula-brazil\/embed\/#?secret=BOO0YV0Dxs#?secret=oY2D4EnXSa\" data-secret=\"oY2D4EnXSa\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h5>The links with African slash and burn<\/h5>\n<p>Another Florida university &#8211; that of Miami &#8211; has added <a href=\"https:\/\/news.miami.edu\/stories\/2019\/08\/studying-the-surging-seaweed-that-is-sargassum.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a further element<\/a> to the search for the main causes of the proliferation of sargasso. And he would have identified it in Africa, where the practice of slash and burn is still widely used: a<strong> forest area is subjected to cutting<\/strong> and clearing of the undergrowth; the branches are arranged in strips and <strong>burned<\/strong>, while coal is produced with the wood. The open surfaces are<strong> cultivated for one\/two years<\/strong> by exploiting the fertility of the soil inherited during the <strong>forestry phase<\/strong>, to then be abandoned to the recolonization of the natural vegetation until the levels of fertility suitable for a new cultivation are restored.<\/p>\n<p>But this practice, in addition to <strong>stressing the soils<\/strong> (population growth has reduced the time between one felling and another, making forest recovery difficult), would cause the release of nutrients into the atmosphere, starting with <a href=\"https:\/\/resoilfoundation.org\/en\/agricultural-industry\/agriculture-dependence-phosphorus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>phosphorus<\/strong><\/a>. The hypothesis was advanced by <strong>Cassandra Gaston<\/strong>, an associate professor at the University of Miami and an expert in atmospheric chemistry. \u201cThe smoke given off by those fires is certainly bringing in nutrients that are readily available after they are carried by the winds and deposited in the ocean,\u201d Gaston explains.
