I would think the resort areas will scoop that up nightly.

Yes, please stay away from the Alabama beaches everyone. They are terrible and no one from Louisiana or Texas would want to be there.

It happens on grand isle too. They scrape the beaches all day long, but every wave brings in more.

That sucks. I’ve been down there when it’s bad like that. It just constantly keeps washing ashore and starts to stink. Some places don’t touch it because it’s part of the ecosystem.

Floating seaweed in the water is always full of interesting life. It's almost like a little reef the way it supports life.

Is that why it’s called orange beach?

Gulf Shores, Ala. – (OBA) – In an effort to provide a satisfactory Memorial Day weekend for our incoming guests, Gulf State Park is undertaking a cleanup of the Sargassum seaweed in front of beach access locations where beachgoers concentrate. Please be cautious while the equipment is being operated on the beach.

These areas include the Gulf State Park Pavilion, Romar Beach Access, Cotton Bayou Beach Access, Alabama Point and the shell parking lot access east of the Perdido Pass Bridge. The city of Orange Beach is helping with the Sargassum “as much as we can” according to Coastal Resources Director Phillip West.

In Gulf Shores, Public Works Director Noel Hand said there is plenty on the beaches there as well and still coming in. He said the city is evaluating the situation.

“While we work hard to clean the shorelines, please keep in mind that the seaweed is still present in the water and continuously washing ashore,” a park social media post states.

The seaweed will only be removed in front of beach access areas, as it is a natural occurrence that renourishes the beach and provides further stability for our sand dunes.
