Quintana Roo is advancing the installation of anti-sargassum barriers along its coast, with authorities aiming to complete the first phase by March 15. Currently, 6,600 meters of barriers have been installed in Mahahual, Puerto Morelos, and Playa del Carmen, with an additional 7,500 meters planned for six coastal municipalities.

Beach cleaning efforts will intensify in March using state-hired brigades. Furthermore, the Comprehensive Center for Circular Economy (CISEC) project is in development to produce clean energy from collected sargassum, with operations expected to begin in the second half of 2026.
