Punta Cana (Rep\u00fablica Dominicana), 9 jul (EFE).- Entre cocoteros y la arena blanca de algunas de las playas de Punta Cana, una zona paradis\u00edaca situada en el este de Rep\u00fablica Dominicana, el sargazo preocupa a quienes viven del turismo, una de las principales actividades de este pa\u00eds caribe\u00f1o.<\/p>\n
\n
La llegada de esta macroalga a las aguas de Rep\u00fablica Dominicana y Puerto Rico ha crecido en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n
Nueve millones de toneladas m\u00e9tricas se acumularon en esta zona del Caribe entre enero y el pasado 30 de junio, por encima de las 8,3 millones de toneladas que llegaron en el mismo periodo de 2025 y las 1,2 millones del mismo per\u00edodo de 2024, seg\u00fan la Universidad del Sur de Florida (EE.UU.)<\/p>\n
\u00abNo he podido disfrutar, como me lo esperaba, porque a veces me gusta tirarme, meterme mucho m\u00e1s al agua\u00bb, declara a EFE Jeyson Orozco, un turista colombiano que lamenta la presencia del sargazo en playa B\u00e1varo, en Punta Cana.<\/p>\n
\u00abEs algo que no te anuncian, que no te dicen. Esto te lo llevas de sorpresa\u00bb, se\u00f1ala Orozco, quien alquil\u00f3 un apartamento tur\u00edstico en esta zona durante dos semanas para pasar sus vacaciones.<\/p>\n
LOS NEGOCIOS RETIRAN EL SARGAZO EN ALGUNAS ZONAS<\/strong><\/p>\nLos hoteles de esta playa y otro tipo de negocios privados retiran el sargazo que se acumula en la orilla con la ayuda de tractores equipados con trituradoras, o simplemente a mano. Sin embargo en algunos tramos de uso p\u00fablico esta macroalga se acumula sin que nadie la recoja.<\/p>\n
\u00abAqu\u00ed el que no tiene su dinero para limpiar su playa no limpia\u00bb, indica Angelo Joseph, promotor de excursiones que trabaja a pie de la playa Esmeralda, en B\u00e1varo.<\/p>\n
Para Joseph, el sargazo empez\u00f3 a convertirse en un problema un poco antes de la pandemia de la covid-19, declarada en marzo de 2020, y su llegada ha ido creciendo en el transcurso de estos \u00faltimos a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n
\u00abAntes la temporada de llegada del sargazo duraba un mes y se deten\u00eda, luego ven\u00eda cada tres meses, y ahora est\u00e1 viniendo m\u00e1s consecutivamente\u00bb, declara.<\/p>\n
SITUACION REDUCE NUMERO DE VISITANTES<\/strong><\/p>\nEste promotor de excursiones dominicano reconoce que en la zona donde \u00e9l trabaja antes se sentaban muchas personas en las tumbonas de los restaurantes para comer o tomar alguna bebida.<\/p>\n
Pero ahora \u00abya no vienen por la visi\u00f3n que tienen del sargazo y el olor que provoca (\u2026) el turista viene aqu\u00ed con una ilusi\u00f3n de ver el Caribe y se topa con esto y ve que \u2018guau\u2019, es una cat\u00e1strofe\u00bb, lamenta.<\/p>\n
Joseph asegura que \u00abno todo el pa\u00eds est\u00e1 as\u00ed y hay muchas playas donde no llega\u00bb la macroalga.<\/p>\n
A unos cientos de metros de playa Esmeralda, Braulio Pelmito, que trabaja ofreciendo viajes en barca a los turistas, tambi\u00e9n sufre a diario el problema.<\/p>\n
