In South Florida we dump more than a billion gallons of partially treated human sewage daily, much of it underground where it flows into the ocean. Those billion gallons a day add up to three cubic miles of human sewage every year, and we've been dumpingtom warnkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255871447291503214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37248244.post-80206377985935664692015-08-10T19:32:31.269-04:002015-08-10T19:32:31.269-04:00Correction: a northward shift of the Bermuda High ...Correction: a northward shift of the Bermuda High stops steering the sargassum and the regular trade winds can bring some of it shoreward. Some have speculated that the northward shift of the Bermuda High is related to extra ice melt off Greenland. Maybe. It does shift around from year to year. In 2005 it moved west and steered hurricanes into South Florida. In 2012 it moved south.

It's not a "bloom", in the conventional sense, rather it's a wind borne redistribution of sargassum which grows hundreds of miles offshore in the Sargassum Sea. The cause is almost certainly a shift in the wind currents, perhaps a southward shift in the Bermuda High.
