It is an algae bloom that makes its way from the Sargasso Sea in the North Atlantic

It affects Florida, the Caribbean and Mexico

Scientists are not sure why the bloom was so intense in 2018 but predict it could be just as bad in 2019

An article from The Weather Channel published in January of 2019 outlines current Sargassum seaweed scientific information and predictions; keep in mind these are predictions.

For up to date information you can check the Sargassum Monitoring site to see which beaches are clear and which are currently affected.
