During the Regional Conference on Sargasso: Turning Sargasso into an Opportunity, held in the Dominican Republic, ACS Secretary General Rodolfo Sabonge addressed the urgent problem of Sargasso in a speech to the countries of the region. Secretary General Rodolfo Sabonge stressed the importance of jointly tackling this and the other problems facing the Greater Caribbean region as a result of climate change.

"This crisis represents a significant threat to our economic, social and cultural development, with adverse effects mainly on tourism activities, fisheries and the preservation of the sustainability of our marine and coastal ecosystems and the biodiversity they harbour," said Sabonge, noting that the ACS recognises the sargassum threat as a top priority.

The Secretary General expressed gratitude for the commitment and dedication of the participants and emphasised the opportunity to strengthen cooperation and promote regional policies for the benefit of the Greater Caribbean.
