A large blob of seaweed is floating off the Florida coast and washing up on beaches.

Waves filled with sargassum continue washing up on beaches in the Caribbean Sea and southern Florida and the stacks of seaweed are expected to get worse in the weeks ahead. A record abundance of the seaweed was seen on satellite images in the Caribbean in April, the University of South Florida's Optical Oceanography Lab said in a monthly update released this week.
The seaweed set a record in the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt in March, but the university said the overall quantity in the belt − which stretches from west Africa to the Gulf of Mexico − remained roughly the same in April, probably because of persistent clouds.
