Project summary: Golden tides are massive accumulations of floating brown seaweed in the genus Sargassum that began affecting Caribbean, American, and African coasts in 2011. Observations and models have concluded that these events are mainly driven by widespread eutrophication and warmer sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic resulting from climate change. A single golden tide can strand as much as 96,000 m3 of algae per Km of coastline and affect large expanses of shoreline, often coinciding with the location of coastal communities and highly frequented tourist destinations. Various health hazards may result directly or indirectly from the accumulation of this algal biomass, including increased risk of drowning, skin irritations from contact with algal mats, proliferation of biting flies from beached algal biomass, and the production of harmful gases from algal decomposition. These hazards disproportionately affect Hispanic- and Afro-Caribbean communities, representing one of the least studied areas of health disparities. This research will focus on gas emissions from decomposing algal accumulations, with the aim of quantifying risk of exposure to hydrogen sulfide produced during these events in the US Virgin Islands. The study will use a combination of decomposition chamber experiments to measure sulfide gas production and direct field measurements of the gas in affected areas. It will also compare two available techniques for measuring H2S to explore more user-friendly technologies that can be adopted by Sargassum cleanup crews to monitor potential risks.

项目摘要：黄金潮流是浮动棕色海藻的大量积累 Sargassum属于2011年开始影响加勒比海，美国和非洲海岸。 观察和模型得出的结论是，这些事件主要由广泛驱动 由于气候导致的大西洋的富营养化和较高的海面温度 改变。单一的黄金潮流可束缚多达96,000平方米的藻类海岸线 并影响大型海岸线，通常与沿海的位置一致 社区和高度频繁的旅游目的地。可能导致各种健康危害 直接或间接地来自该藻类生物量的积累，包括增加的风险 溺水，与藻垫接触的皮肤刺激，咬蝇的增殖 海滩藻类生物量，以及藻类分解产生有害气体的生产。这些 危害不成比例地影响西班牙裔和非洲加勒比地区，代表 研究最少的健康差异领域之一。这项研究将集中于气体排放 通过分解藻类的积累，目的是量化暴露的风险 在美国维尔京群岛的这些事件中，硫化氢产生。该研究将使用 分解室实验的结合，以测量硫化物气体的产生和 气体在影响区域的直接现场测量。它还将比较两个可用 测量H2s的技术，以探索可以采用的用户友好型技术 由Sargassum清理人员监控潜在风险。
