I have not seen anything posted about the seaweed issue here, but several locals said it has been going on for about 3 years. We saw it streaming in the water on the flight in, but MAN! Anegada Beach club was cleaning it up so the beach was good, but Loblolly today had it stacked up 3' high at the water line.
No smell on Anegada but some areas of Tortola it was rather strong.
Anyone know the cause?

Thanks for the information update - we've been down in Virgin Gorda for 20 years and this is the first time we've seen the build up on the Atlantic side beaches. cheers Brian

The smell on VG near the de-sal plant was pretty overwhelming a few weeks ago <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />
