Sargassum, a type of seaweed, is critical for marine life but is growing aggressively closer to shores. Its increasing presence is creating an unpleasant smell for beachgoers in Florida, Mexico and the Caribbean. NBC News’ Sam Brock shares more details on what’s driving the build up.

Don't forget Ron DeSantis allowed Piney Point drain 400 Million gallons of nitrate rich toxic waste into the basin which leads to the sea.
nasty
i dont see any issues at all!!!! Just eat it..
Miami Florida residence are flushing their aquarium plants down the toilet and it comes up and grows !
And I hope NBC News is also held accountable for sargassum flesh eating bacteria tourist injury or death. SAVING THIS VIDEO. Don’t give her airtime unless you want brought down, too!!
Most corrupt mayor, right next to Rudy Giuliani! 😂
LIAR. This mayor is so OMFGCORRUPT. There’s like 19 kinds of flesh eating bacteria in that sargassum!!!
She was okay with the Surfside condo demolition immediately without saving the living trapped pets. It’s always “things can be replaced, lives cannot,” in EVERY situation. Everyone in TÜRKIYE rescued the animals when they could rescue people no longer in their earthquake!!
Gotta cover for the rich people so NOBODY gets penalized. Gotta LIE about the sargassum because it’s crippling to the tourism industry in Miami—FXXK THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE TOURISTS.
Mother Nature good for her 🙏
So, it's unconfortable for people, but is a home for more fishes, isn't it a good thing?
I thought we figured this out years ago. It's due to the running from farms. All the fertilizers they use are washing into the waterways.
Big old mat of seaweed. Probably hold in ocean temps and have warmer water for hurricane season.
Like always we are going to have to adapt and evolve 💪🦾🦾
See weed 😂😂😂
The beaches are open and beautiful isn’t that what the mayor said in JAWS ?
Is it edible?
Dump Round-up on the patches … easy peasy … gotta protect Florida beaches …
How does climate effect our fertilizer usage? … oh wait … agri-business bribes more congressmen than algae does … only in America …
It's seaweed it's fine.
Its tryna eat desantis..
Hes a poison…
Our Planet is Dying – Everyone is to blame
In a sense, this is Mother Earth desperately trying to pull excess CO2 out of the ocean and atmosphere. We should be listening.
When the ocean dies we die .
It can be cultivated and used as fertilizer. Why not! 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2c2o82mr7o&ab_channel=FOX4Now
Now the Florida coast smells like DeSantis's personality.
Recover it balance it in fertilizer the important thing is to get it off the beaches for Floridians and Tourist it's a part of evolution.
Having a sargassum rn
My gf loves to have sargassum.
Mankind has made the earth uninhabital. God Almighty is going to renew the earth during the Millenium.
So basically, its just another year of sargasm on my beach.
Gotcha, thanks for info.
Punishment from GOD! for all the hypocrites in Florida who voted for Desatan. While claiming to be good Christian people and voting for a criminal.
Nbc news has all the credibility of cnn 😂.
Come to Florida, amazing weather, amazing water . Democrats not welcome!!
So we put excess nitrogen into the water, the seaweed takes it in, collects it, then carries it to the shore for us. If only we would collect it and take it away from the oceans, we might lower the nitrogen concentration.
Lol,,, ocean life is taking over the ocean😂😂😂. Whats next?
Trees are taking over the forest, bwahahah 😂😂. Humans are dumb
Florida is such a weird state. For a state that relies on the environment for its economy, citizens and politicians don't seem to care about the environment much.
🎶🎶Since Republican Congressmen refuse to do their jobs making budgets and passing these budgets every year 🎶maybe since they are so "worried"about the National debt which was mostly created by themselves🎶 I think that maybe republican congressmen could get second jobs with their pay going straight into the National Treasury to help make ends meet🎶 but What would they be qualified to do?🎶🎶 I think by Executive Orders The President should bring back full service ⛽ gas stations like we used to have in the 1950's with the team of attendants dressed in white uniforms with the white paper hats and have green, boebert, hawley, gaetz, Lopez, and scott pumping gas, checking the fluids under the hood, and operating the automated carwash 🎶🎶 maybe if McCarthy can manage to get through vocational school he could rotate and balance tires🎶this would be a Great start on working the National Deficient down🎶and I think this would improve the mood of the American people all around🎶Everybody wins🎶🎶🎶
