Default World's biggest seaweed bloom has now grown so big it spans the Atlantic Ocean

This is going to Hit Florida


[Too much Sargassum can present
challenges for marine life and devastates
sandy beaches used by tourists
It has wreaked havoc on the shorelines
of the Atlantic, Caribbean Sea,
Gulf of Mexico and east coast of Florida]


[A seaweed bloom unlike the world
has ever seen has been spotted
from space, reaching from the west coast
of Africa to the Gulf of Mexico some 5,000 miles away.

The humongous mass - larger than any before it,
and heavier than 200 fully loaded aircraft carriers - blankets
the surface of the tropical Atlantic Ocean.]

Kelp known as sargassum can be harmful
to human health as it decomposes,
producing an acid gas with a rotten egg smell as it does.

Maybe Blow it up?

You’d think they could come up with something in the labs to maybe neutralise it

Kelp is popular in sushi bars.

Perhaps Japan's dwindling population has caused this?
