Corrections

How to tell us something is wrong, and how the fix shows on the site.

Asking for one

Email contact@sargassumcheck.com with the page's address, what is wrong and how you know: when you were at the beach, or a source we can check.

• A hotel or place listed wrongly: a correction with a source is applied, and a removal the business asks for is made within 24 hours.
• A webcam whose operator wants it off the site: taken off within 24 hours.
• An image whose rights holder objects: removed within 24 hours, as image credits and takedown explains.

How the fix shows

• A beach’s status is never set by hand: the page shows the corrected status from its next update, with its time.
• A fact, such as a beach's name, a hotel's beach or a camera's beach, is corrected in our data and changes on every page that shows it.
• A legal page gets a new version, whose number and effective date show at its top.
