THERE IS a foe relentlessly creeping up on Barbados’ shores.
This enemy uses the island’s surrounding water to make its attacks. It cannot be stopped; it is difficult to remove once it lands, and it smells and looks awful.

This adversary is the sargassum seaweed, which even now coats the East Coast of the island.
