Spring breakers may find more than crowds and cocktails in the beach this year, a massive bloom of sargism, type of seaweed.

Estimated at 9.5 million tons is stretching from the Gulf of Mexico through the Caribbean into the Western Atlantic,

according to University of South Florida researchers. Now, after steady growth since November and record levels in several regions,

scientists say that 2026 is very likely another year of this crap. Seaweed is mostly harmless

offshore, but once it piles up on the beaches, it decays, releasing hydrogen sulfide gas that

smells like rotten eggs and possibly triggers breathing problems to sensitive people.

Damn.

Parts of the Western Caribbean, including Belize and Honduras, are already seeing buildup.

And the next line.

Belize.

Probably headed to Florida and Cancun.

The border report notes that Mexico's Navy is helping collect and remove the mats of this crap.

While Florida health officials advise just avoiding contact, they say not to swim near the seaweed,

wear gloves if you touch it, close the windows near the shore to cut down on the odors

and potential respiratory irritation.

And I'm sure spring breakers are going to take all of that advice because they are notoriously responsible.
