Too much seaweed.

[RWDW1204]

For those of us who have had to deal with a Caribbean beach full of seaweed, this was an interesting read. Google Gizmodo's article "Enormous 5,500-Mile-Long Patch of Atlantic Seaweed Might Be the ‘New Normal’". 

Sorry. Don't know how to add a link straight to it.

The mid Atlantic Ocean has always been known as the Sargasso Sea.  This started in the 15th century.

By mere geography, ocean currents and land masses, the Caribbean Sea catches a lot of it from the Atlantic and always has.

Amen to that. Six or so years ago they were dredging small marinas on the Great Lakes because water levels were at all time lows.  This year, there's so much water that some of the marinas are under water and no-wake zones are being expanded because the wakes are flooding houses.

When it comes to nature the only thing consistent is change.
