顶级Playa del Carmen Beach保持关闭以进行Sargassum清理
byDaniel McCarthy/
Playa El Recodo是墨西哥Playa del Carmen的一个受欢迎的海滩,由于Sargassum继续到达海滩,将在可预见的未来关闭。
据里维埃拉·玛雅(Riviera Maya)新闻报道,普拉亚·德尔·卡门市长莉莉·坎波斯(Lili Campos)上周宣布了这一消息,并在海滩前放置了一个标志,警告游客关闭。尽管私人和公共部门为清理海滩的努力继续努力,但目前没有时间表可以重新开放海滩。
According to Riviera Maya News, El Recodo, Punta Esmeralda, and the areas of 14th街至12thstreet are most affected by the sargassum.
“The El Recodo area is most affected by the massive arrival of sargassum in [Playa del Carmen],” Mayor Campos wrote last week. “Public services personnel and machinery work permanently to contain the macroalgae.”

Multiple groups dedicated time at the beach last week to collect sargassum, including one of 700 local and city hall staff that helped remove around 100 tons of sargassum from some of the most affected beaches. There’s also a new program for those with minor offenses to sign up for seaweed removal duty instead of paying fines for their “administrative offenses” in Playa del Carmen.
“Currently in Solidaridad by committing an administrative offense you can collect sargassum as community work,” Mayor Campos wrote last week. Today we had offending citizens cleaning Recodo beach. Together we go against sargassum!”
This is not the first time El Recodo has faced issues because of the overwhelming amount of sargassum on its beachfront—similar issues have come every spring and summer for the last few years, including major issues in 2019 and 2021.
Riviera Maya, the resort district south of Cancun that includes Playa del Carmen, just wrapped Semana Santa 2022, the name for the Holy Week that ends on Easter Sunday. According to Mayor Campos, the region expected to receive more than 550,000 tourists during the week from April 10 to April 16.
