Sargassum muticum have shown the potential of hydrocarbon and fatty acid compounds in antifouling activities, compounds such as galactolipids and palmatic acid, 1-tetradecene or 1-hexadecene. Moreover, the peak production of antifouling compounds is during the spring. Antioxidant compounds: "Sargassum muticum" is rich in antioxidant compounds such as phenolic compounds (cathechins, phlorotannins, quercetins), pigments (fucoxanthin) and vitamins(vitamin C, K, E in the forme of alpha-tocophérol and gamma-tocopherol). Applications are possible in pharmaceutics, cosmetics and health fields thanks to the antioxidant activities of these molecules. Sargassum muticum Sargassum muticum, commonly known as Japanese wireweed, is a large brown seaweed of the genus "Sargassum". It
Sargassum on wave height and current. On the Caribbean island of Saint Martin, backhoes are also used in the process of clean up once the "Sargassum" weed reaches the shorelines. Researchers say that the "Sargassum" outbreak started in 2011, but it has become worse over the years. As it is cleaned up on the shorelines, in a matter of a week, the shorelines are once again filled in masses. It is still a recurring problem to this date. Several factors could explain the proliferation of "Sargassum" in the area in recent years. These include the rise of sea temperature and the
