EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the devastating impact of Sargassum algae on the pristine beaches of Cancun. Taken on August 13,2015, by photographer Edgard Garrido, this print is a striking reminder of the environmental challenges faced by popular Caribbean resorts. The image showcases an expansive coastline engulfed in a thick layer of Sargassum algae. Not only does this invasive species pose a threat to marine life and water quality, but it also harbors biting sand fleas that can make beachgoers' experiences unpleasant. As the algae decomposes under the sun's rays, it releases a pungent smell further adding to the discomfort. Local authorities in Cancun have been compelled to launch large-scale clean-up operations due to this overwhelming issue. The photograph highlights not only the extent of pollution caused by Sargassum but also emphasizes its unusual nature as such occurrences were relatively rare at that time. Garrido's creative composition and use of shadow capture both the scale and severity of this environmental problem while showcasing his artistic flair. With no people visible in the frame, viewers are left with an unobstructed view of nature's struggle against human-induced pollution. This thought-provoking image serves as a powerful call-to-action for individuals and governments alike to address water pollution issues and protect our fragile ecosystems from similar threats in future years.
