The objective of the Sargassum Preparedness Plan is to address the impacts of sargassum while capitalizing from its opportunities. To thoroughly understand the current research on sargassum and how the influxes are affecting Dominica and its fisheries, research was completed through a multi-step process. A literature review and informal stakeholder consultations were chosen as the best suitable method for data collection. Through this process, contextual best management practices were determined to mitigate the influxes of sargassum in Dominica.
