OECS Director General, Dr Didacus Jules
The Director General of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States, Dr Didacus Jules, yesterday reiterated the need for a collective approach towards dealing with the sargassum situation in the Caribbean.
He said it has been a problem that has beset shores for over a decade.
Dr Jules asserted that sargassum threatens coastal communities, undermines public health, and places enormous pressure on government's resources.
He charged that research institutions, both within the region and beyond, are already exploring the potential of sargassum as a resource for biofuels, pharmaceuticals, fertilisers, and even building materials, but more investment is needed to bring these solutions to scale.
