Feature: Curse or Blessing?: Sargassum Seaweed Explored

Abstract: 

Since May this year, our once spotless beaches have undergone a virtual transformation in appearance, as considerable amounts of seaweed have taken over much of the seashore. The unattractive, though harmless, Sargassum seaweed has been washing upon our shores, especially the east coast, causing great concern across the island. Unsure about why the high proliferation is occurring or how long it is going to last, top professionals in the health, agricultural and ecological sectors have drawn on their vast expertise to see how to best deal with this natural phenomenon.
