Although, this was very informative, it still didn't answer the question. How do we stop it from land fall??? How much longer will South Africa keep producing this seaweed???

I agree that this was informative.
I do not understand your question on "How much longer will South Africa keep Producing..."
Nobody is producing this. It is an over bloom of a natural product. The narrator does mention that one of the multifactorial influences is the increased runoff of nutrients into the ocean and cites South Africa as one of the sources. There is enough blame to be shared by the whole population as increased water temperature is a huge factor as well. Until we seriously start to address Climate Change we will continue to see devastation of our natural resources.

Thanks for the clarification, I did not get the statement as well. It left me shaking my head.

There are many suspected factors including saharan dust dropping nutrients, upflows of nutrients from the ocean bottoms off africa, Brazilian farmers, american farmers, rising temps, all of the above, who knows.

Hopefully they get that seaweed to paper pulp plant running.

Point of my question, is that is this something that South Africa recently started to produce within the last 10 years or so and it stayed off there shores and now it's double in growth??? What makes it reproduce at such an accelerated rate???

David--once again, this is not just created by South Africa. It is a combination of the actions of everyone around the world.
