After the storm, beaches were strewn with tangled sargassums that smelled of the sea.

Volunteers spent the morning removing sargassum from the bay to protect the sea turtles' nesting grounds.

During the coastal survey, researchers photographed sargassum fishes camouflaged among floating seaweed.

The sargassum fish drifted among the floating clumps of seaweed, perfectly camouflaged from prey and predators alike.
