Seaweed-don't miss it!

[SHELLY]

My mom is in Seagrove and is asking me to post about the seaweed--or what ever is in the water right now.

What causes this and how long does it typically last? They said it was clear on Monday but yesterday and today it is gross. From past experience I told her it would come and go, but I have no idea what brings it in or takes it out.

Do you know how far down the beach it goes?

Nasty, nasty stuff but it's all part of the ecosystem of our beach.

Word on the street is that complaints are rolling about why isn't it being removed so Channel 7 is heading out to do TV interviews. Hopefully, the information is well received.

When it starts to dry it attracts flies too!!! But our beach needs it...let nature take care of it.

The real green menace is located at the Blue Mountain Villas...it's a green tent city.

Mimi is in Seagrove this week, and I finally figured out what all the tents remind me of---

A flea market, or a gigantic neighborhood yard sale!

BTW- a beach goer told a tent owner that he needed to remove his tent every night, or it would be removed for him. His reply? "I don't care. This thing only cost me $50! Let'em have it!"

What a class act.:angry:

So I am confused--is the green slime in the water what becomes the brown dry weeds on the shore? I thought june grass was the brown stuff, but are you saying the green slime in the water is june grass also

June grass is the fine, slimy green stuff that somehow winds up in your bathing suit. The brown, scratchy stuff is something else.

I've mentioned this before, but I do need a tent if I'm going to have people baking in my front yard in July. Reckon I could score a free one?

You could probably score several, in different colors and styles.
