attribute	Sargassum_biomass	comment	String	The weekly Sargassum biomass influx (kg∙m-1∙Wk-1) is quantified by transfering the Sargassum accumulated in traps to a mesh bag, and weighted on-site using an electronic fish scale. Sargassum traps are constructed with PVC pipe and plastic mesh (0.63 x 0.5 x 0.63 m; depth x width x height), deployed facing the prevailing southeasterly winds on the seaward edge.
