Now that SoFlo beaches have reopened, yesterday evening my wife and I went to Pompano Beach for a little stroll. I'm sorry to report that sargassum, the brown microalgae or seaweed, is once again piled high and choking our beaches. Scientists say this is the new normal for the Caribbean and the east coast of Florida, and we can expect it just about every summer. Is there any good use for this material? Could it be collected and composted and spread over soil as an amendment and humus enhancer? If local communities are incapable of doing this, should a gardener with a pickup truck take advantage of the situation and thereby possibly improve the soil in his garden, especially where there's sandy soil?
