Some Florida beachgoers might be holding their noses right now — reports of large amounts of stinky seaweed washing ashore on some of the state's beaches are coming in.
The clumps of brown seaweed, called Sargassum, are part of a massive bloom collecting in the Caribbean Sea spanning about 5,000 miles. It's forecast to become the largest-ever bloom recorded, University of South Florida marine scientists say. Giant masses of yellowish-brown sargassum seaweed gathered on beaches in the Florida Keys, footage captured on April 14 shows.
According to NASA, whose satellites track the massive blooms, more than 13 million tons of sargassum drifted in the Atlantic Ocean in March – a record-breaking amount for the month.
