I've lived on the beach since 2000. I look at the ocean daily. I'm no scientist or know much about this but this phenomena but in my opinion this yearly event has become more and more messier since Deepwater Horizon oil spill. All my years living on the beach I had never seen anything like this. I believe some of this is a byproduct of the disaster. Those detergents they sprayed on the water and combination of oil coming out of the ground had to have killed a lot of stuff in the ocean
I'd like to know more details about this seaweed. Is it a byproduct of climate change / warmer seas? Do any sea animals consume this as food regularly? Is there any agricultural application of collecting and processing this seaweed? Never waste a good opportunity if one exists. I'm really curious how this could be potentially beneficial when you look past it disrupting beaches. Could it feed or help feed people? Does it boost marine biology by acting as food source? So on and so on.....
Since it contains quite a bit of arsenic and cadmium, there is no way this is will be good for human or animal consumption. The best it could be good for is maybe as fertilizer or creating some type of plastic replacement.
Any way to turn it into biofuel?

So let's use it as fertilizer and put those heavy metals on our tables!😅

Natures way of absorbing CO²?
Always blame man.
As some one who actually lives in Florida, on the beach, I can 100 percent confirm this is not true.
