Original: The Ocean 'Was the Color of Chocolate.' Mexico Declares War on Seaweed.

Mexico has assigned its navy to combat the massive sargassum seaweed invasions that have smothered Caribbean beaches and turned coastal waters brown, with residents describing the sea as the color of chocolate. The effort reflects mounting pressure on Mexico's tourism industry, particularly in Quintana Roo, as record seaweed arrivals continue to foul shorelines.

Why now: Record sargassum blooms keep devastating Mexico's Caribbean beaches and tourism, prompting an unusual military response.
