Placencia Villagers are coming together to fight off the Sargasso attack. Like on the beaches of San Pedro, Placencia has been invaded by Sargassum. Besides the foul odor and unpleasant sight, the Sargasso produces a toxic gas which can cause health complications. It’s a problem that is putting the livelihood and health of the villagers at risk. On Sunday, Placencia villagers came together to address the issue. Treasurer of the Placencia Village Council, Jodie Yearwood Leslie spoke to News Five.
