Sargassum is a disaster for the economy of caribbean countries because many rely on tourism (read white sand beaches), so it may be a good idea to take advantage of it, but how can we be sure that enough sargassum will wash up on the shore for the next 6 months ?
Wether we view sargassum as a disaster or sargassum as a raw material, the problem is that we can't control its flow.

- mym1990 3y agoA non-profit is still...a business...its just a non-profit business. I don't think being non-profit exempts a business from staying alive without funding, wherever that comes from. I'm not saying your last point isn't valid though.
