    NEWS - Joan Didion, legendäre amerikanische Schriftstellerin, stirbt im Alter von 87 Jahren
    EXCLUSIVE: 1983 - Malibu, California, United States: Author Joan Didion sitting next to her daughter Quintana Roo. Joan Didion (born December 5, 1934) is an American author best known for her novels and her literary journalism. She was married to John Gregory Dunne in 1964 and moved to Los Angeles. California ultimately became their home for the next twenty years. Their daughter Quintana Roo Dunne was adopted in 1966. Dunne and Didion worked closely together for most of their careers, and much of their writing is intertwined. With Dunne, Didion co-wrote a number of screenplays, including an adaptation of her novel Play It As It Lays for a film that starred Anthony Perkins and Tuesday Weld. She and Dunne also spent eight years adapting the biography of journalist Jessica Savitch into the film Up Close & Personal. In 2004, Quintana Roo suffered a massive hematoma. After making a good recovery, she died of acute pancreatitis on August 26, 2005. She was thirty-nine. Didion later wrote about Quintana's death in the 2011 book Blue Nights.(Nancy Ellison/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS) *** Local Caption *** 05345494

    NEWS - Angriff der Braunalgen in der Karibik
    Large amounts of Sargassum seaweed washed up on Mamitas Beach in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo state, Mexico on August 19, 2018. Sargassum—a brown seaweed that lives in the open ocean—has overwhelmed shorelines along the East Coast of the United States, Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean. Researchers say that the Sargassum outbreak started in 2011, but it has become worse over the years and could cause a serious environmental disaster. As the Sargassum is cleaned up on the shorelines, in a matter of days the shorelines are once again filled. When the Sargassum seaweed lands and starts to decompose, a toxic hydrogen sulfide gas is released, spreading an unpleasant odor and potentially causing adverse health effects. Apart from being an annoyance for tourists, Sargassum also affects oxygen levels in the water, brings contaminants and other microorganisms to the beach, changes the ecological balance of coral and causes beach erosion when its removed in such large quantities. There are several factors that could explain the proliferation of Sargassum in recent years. These include the rise of sea temperatures, the change of sea currents due to climate change and nutrients dumped into the ocean from farming and deforestation around the world.
