• Why is Florida's problem with stinky sargassum on the beaches exploding? (tampabay.com) — If you’ve noticed smelly seaweed piling up off South Beach, scientists say you’re seeing part of a rapidly growing sargassum problem tied to warming seas and shifting ocean cycles. Massive blooms are hitting South Florida earlier and harder, hurting tourism and forcing Miami-Dade to spend millions on beach cleanup while researchers race to improve tracking and response.
