It also matters because red tide is most likely the canary in the cage saying we are adding to much pollution to the ocean. The sargasso seaweed not so much. At least locally.

Replace turf grass with native plants that don't need irrigation and synthetic fertilizers or chemicals that can go into our waterways and ocean

The proliferation of sargassum in the carribean and tropical Atlantic since 2011 is unprecedented in the historical record. It is a harbinger of chemical changes too. Kind of like red tide having been around forever but the frequency and duration of blooms increasing.

Skepticism can be healthy but the anti-science/anti-expert sentiment that's infiltrated the surf community is really disheartening. As soon as this conversation turns to pollution and our impact on the environment, the "it's a totally natural and reoccurring event" crowd gets going.

I hope your not implying I am anti science for I am not. Holding a PhD and published dozens of scientific papers and my name being on a couple of US patents for my work I have a healthy respect for it. But science is also not flawless.

Nope, no implication. My apologies if that seemed aimed at you. It wasn't. "UPDATE All Palm Beach County beaches from Lake Worth Beach north to the Martin County line will remain closed on Wednesday. Lifeguards and staff at Palm Beach County beaches reported continued irritation, according to Palm Beach County Public Affairs Department."

Changing wind patterns are another symptom of climate change. Sargasso has always been there, perhaps a change in wind flow is the cause of the increase along shorelines.

I saw a crap load of baby Triple Tail clinging to it while surfing the other day.

I was right.
