Seaweed blob arrives at coastal beaches [Ep. 452]

A big blob of algae and Sargassum seaweed in the Atlantic Ocean has begun washing shore on beaches in Florida, Cuba, Mexico, and elsewhere. Could it come to a Carolina beach -- and what does it mean for your summer travel plans? We discuss the seaweed blob with Dr. Tracy Fanara, who has her Ph.D. in environmental engineering and specializes in coastal modeling. This episode was available early to our supporters on Patreon.
