AI Summary

Mexico's government is exploring the use of biofuels as a potential solution to the country's ongoing seaweed crisis. The crisis, which has been ongoing for over a decade, has seen large quantities of brown seaweed, known as sargassum, wash up on beaches along the Caribbean coast, impacting the local tourism industry. The government's decision to consider biofuels as a solution is likely driven by the need to find an alternative use for the seaweed, which has proven difficult to prevent from washing ashore or predict its movement.
