I was in Ft Lauderdale for the 4th, it was really bad then. And they are right, it stinks for sure.

Yep. I was in Cancun a few weeks ago. They would clean it all up first thing in the morning, but by 11 am the beach was already covered again.

One positive is that they found they can use it as a binder in cement.

I can confirm that this is all true. I got back from Cancun last week and the beach was so bad that we swam once in an 8 day span.

Here's a webcam site for Jupiter Inlet. Right now, you can see some seaweed (and some seaweed art). It come and goes, but the current seaweed accumulation there is nothing like those extreme cases shown in Miami and elsewhere.

Plan is to get some sun, enjoy the Atlantic, eat some Cuban food next door in Little Havana, enjoy the music/nightlife/art-deco district.

Then I catch wind of the seaweed epidemic going on. Marine biologists are saying it's 100x's worse than it's ever been, bringing rotten-egg smelling seaweed with sea-lice infestation.



That's why God invented swimming pools.
