Field video
Sargassum video wall, pinned to the place it was filmed
Short-form video is the fastest honest record of a landing. We archive it, tag it by country, region, beach and date, and hold it so the evidence survives a deleted account.

Coalition
An international shoreline
One coastline, many flags
The belt does not check passports. Neither does this movement.
Sargassum lands on Caribbean islands, Mexican and Central American shores, West Africa, Brazil and the United States within the same season. Every flag below is a shoreline already living it. Tap the ones you live on or travel to — we will move that shoreline's news, photos and video to the top for you.
Method
How the video archive is built
- We are archiving 50+ field videos from TikTok, Reddit, Facebook, X and regional news. Thirty are published here; the rest are in moderation.
- Every clip is stored with platform, handle, capture date, country, region and — wherever the poster identifies it — the beach or coordinate.
- Location tagging is what turns scattered posts into a dataset officials can read: same beach, same month, year over year.
- Nothing is published without moderator review, and testimony is always labeled testimony, never measurement.
