Sargassum seaweed blankets Mexico's beaches, hammering tourism

Massive quantities of sargassum seaweed are blanketing Mexico's coastline, forcing beach closures at popular resort areas. Workers are shovelling the algae knee-deep off the shoreline, but the scale of the infestation is overwhelming. Local authorities describe a drop in tourism as "extremely serious," with resorts reporting sharp declines in visitor numbers.
