## Resource

Sargassum seaweed is piling up on beaches, with crews clearing over 3.6 million pounds—mostly by hand near tourist spots. Some areas like Miami Beach are left overwhelmed for weeks. To tackle it faster, teams are testing pump harvesters that scoop seaweed from the water before it hits shore, designed to protect marine life and reduce beach erosion. Potential sites include calm River Bay and rougher Skeetes Bay. And once collected? Ideas include turning it into biogas to turn a nuisance into a resource.
