How are Escambia, Santa Rosa preparing

Garrett Gardner

A substantial 5,000-mile-broad mass of sargassum, a genus of brown macroalgae abundantly found in the Atlantic Ocean, is headed towards Florida and officers are finding seashores ready in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.

Whilst the algae are moving towards Florida, Robert Turpin, the maritime source supervisor for Escambia County’s Division of Pure Source Administration, told the News Journal that the Loop Present, which flows from the Caribbean to the Gulf of Mexico, will most likely keep some of the sargassum mass from hitting area seashores.

“It comes into the Gulf of Mexico and, like the identify suggests, it loops back again and flows again out as a result of the Florida Straits for the reason that of what we call the Gulf Stream,” Turpin claimed. “If any (sargassum) arrives into the Gulf of Mexico some of it will likely circulation again out of the Gulf and up into the Atlantic Ocean and keep on its journey.”
