Don't be Sargassic! The Sargassum Seaweed Invasion of the Tx Coast

My home beach -

Surfside Beach Tx

With Sargassum Seaweed piled 1 - 2' deep as far as 100' up the beach....

For as far as the eye can see...

For the intellectually inclined and everybody else standing on a slope...

Here's some info on this incredible and edible aquatic phenomenon.

It's hilarious. We have technology and research on everything....

But we don't know exactly what caused all the seaweed this year....

Guess there wasn't enough money in the answer....
