Turning the Tide on the Sargassum Crisis

Since the early 2010s, the Caribbean's Atlantic coasts have been inundated with sargassum, posing a severe threat to the environment, local economies, and public health.
Despite numerous efforts by local authorities to manage this issue, the approaches often lack coordination, are costly, and do not offer a sustainable, long-term solution.
With climate change intensifying the problem, it's clear that a more unified, innovative strategy is needed.

The VENUS Project: A New Dawn in Sargassum Management

Bluehold is leading the charge with the VENUS project: an ambitious initiative that turns the sargassum crisis into an economic opportunity.
By combining advanced sargassum stranding predictions with optimized large-scale collection methods, VENUS transforms what was once a burden into a valuable resource.
Our network spans the entire Caribbean, bringing together local companies equipped to recycle the collected algae into products that fuel agriculture, energy, and construction industries.

But VENUS is more than just a project—it's a movement.

Supported by a state-of-the-art web platform, we enable seamless collaboration among stakeholders, ensuring the long-term success and sustainability of the initiative.
