Since 2011, free-floating mats of brown macroalgae called Sargassum have increased in density and size to generate a 5,500-mile (8,850 km) long belt that extends from West Africa to the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. According to a new study, it contains over 20 million metric tons of Sargassum biomass and represents the largest bloom of macroalgae on Earth.
