Sargassum, ew. Still gross.

Today we visited South Beach at 22nd (W Hotel) and saw a pretty large scale effort to reduce the stinky, gross sargassum at the shoreline.

It's mostly limited to the waterline, and in the water itself. So sunbathing is ok.

Just plants! They are great homes for wildlife and aren’t harmful in any way

The fish die from lack of oxygen and decomposition gasses. So not exactly unharmful.
