## Caption

A several thousand mile-wide seaweed blob, otherwise known as the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt, has spent the last few weeks steadily taking shore on Florida beaches. The ooey, gooey glob of ocean lettuce is also filled with a strain of flesh-eating bacteria.⁠
⁠
So, how did we get here? Fish are eating flesh-eating, bacteria-infected plastic, violently pooing, and the nutrients in the poo are fertilizing the seaweed blob, contributing to the growth of even more seaweed. For more, check our link in bio 😨⁠
