Riviara sees the Sarkusam sponge increases on Maya beaches

Riviara Maya at the Caribbean coast of Mexico is found to be up to 50% more sponge this year, after enjoying a low -level sarcasm in 2024, according to the Federal Maridim Territory Zone (Sofamat).

Compared to the same period last year, Tulum’s popular tourist destination has increased by more than 50% at Tulum’s popular tourist destination in the two months since 2025.

Increasing the Sarkasam sponge has been washing the banks of the Revyara Maya since 2011, which is a challenge for local authorities because they work to keep the beaches clean and safe for tourism – which is the primary source of income in the region.

In the months of January and February, Tulum collected 79 metric tonnes and 59 metric tonnes, respectively, 36 metric tons in January and 50 metric tonnes in February 2024.

Sofamad expects to collect more sponge in the season from May to November, and by 2025, the highest sponge level is expected by 2025, especially affecting the Tulum beach.

Garza has a group of more than 50 people, dedicated to collecting sponge in many protected natural areas of Tulum. He emphasized that coordination between state and federal authorities is important to solve the issue.

Increasing the sponge not only prevents tourism but also has a negative environmental impact on the region because it can damage marine environmental systems.

“Sarkasam Brown waves have deteriorated the quality of water and have caused the death of Seekras beds in the coastal areas,” wrote Edwardo Gabriel Torus Conte, a marine scientist of the Mexico National Autonomous University (UNAM). “Natural restoration of Seekras beds in these areas can take decades, especially in areas near the coast, challenging the movement and wave energy.”

Although there is no immediate or significant risk for residents or tourists, Rodriguex said it is recommended to control their manifestation for pregnant women, children, elderly and people with asthma and heart failure.
