Giant blobs of seaweed are hitting Florida. That's when the real problem begins

A tractor plows seaweed that washed ashore into the beach sand on March 16, 2023 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Reports indicate that this summer, a huge mass of sargassum seaweed that has formed in the Atlantic Ocean is possibly headed for the Florida coastlines and shores.

From Montego Bay to Miami, sargassum is leaving stinky brown carpets over what was once prime tourist sand. But whether it gets ignored or removed, it comes with high health and environmental risks.
