Smelly seaweed is covering Florida’s beaches, and researchers say there’s more to come for other states.
Sargassum, a type of seaweed that smells like rotten eggs, is accumulating in “record-high amounts” and washing up on beaches along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, according to researchers from the University of South Florida. The seaweed has been reported around Florida’s east coast and the Florida Keys, along with the Caribbean and Lesser Antilles islands.
