Seaweed plagues Florida beaches 10 things to know about the algae

Where does the seaweed come from? Gulfweed or sea holly, as it s sometimes called, originates in the Sargasso Sea.

The rest circles the Atlantic until it sinks and dies in the Sargasso Sea. Is there anything good about seaweed?

However, blooms have been increasing to problematic sizes over the past decade.

Coastal News Today | World - Citizen Science Increasingly Informs Ocean Expertise—and Policy

At The Pew Charitable Trusts, we’ve long believed that decisions about how to protect and manage natural resources from marine fish and coastal wetlands to rivers and terrestrial forests should be based on peer-reviewed science and other credible evidence. Gathering that data has traditionally been the purview of professionally trained scientists, but advances in technology and project design have made it far easier for members of the public to contribute useful information, interpret results, and otherwise engage in the scientific enterprise. In short, volunteers are better equipped than ever to participate in the scientific process and, ultimately, improve ecosystem health. The interest in citizen science has grown so much that even U.S. federal agencies, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), are promoting its use to conduct research projects that would not otherwise be possible.
