Grenada has approved a task force to deal with sargassum management.

It will be undertaken by the recently established Ministry of the Blue Economy and Marine Affairs, in collaboration with the Ministry of the Environment.

Grenada is hoping to collect 10,000 tons of sargassum seaweed in 2026, in order to feed into a productive value chain, which can contribute to the environmental sustainability, social well-being, and economic growth of Grenada, and ultimately the region.

The country has established itself as a regional leader in sargassum response, having hosted the 2nd Caribbean-EU Global Gateway Conference on Sargassum last year.
