Green tide of Sargassum seaweed flooding Florida's beaches causes trouble for humans and wildlife
A strong east wind blew a thick carpet of foul-smelling Sargassum seaweed onto south Florida's beaches causing trouble for bathers and animals alike.
The seaweed, filmed here on July 24, is washing up on beaches in Florida, Mexico and throughout the Caribbean.
The seaweed causes trouble not only for humans but tiny sea turtle hatchlings that have a hard time climbing through the mess of weeds.
However, many types of fish use the floating seaweed as their homes, refuges and even a tasty food source.
