Galveston seaweed is back – and it’s a good thing - Your Houston News: News: "Smell aside, what may be temporarily “worse” for recreational beach-users is actually best in the long run. Galveston does not haul away seaweed for just that reason – it helps nourish the soil and prevents erosion.
"... In fact, some beach areas are left untouched by maintenance crews, others including beach parks, beach access points and beaches bordering residential areas are cleaned for easier use and access. Workers in some areas use front-end loaders to move mounds of seaweed along dunes located near the Seawall. This occurs daily, sometimes as early as 2 a.m., and helps to build up dunes and preserve sand, according to the Parks Board."

When humanity finally figures out how the intricacies of Nature's work maintains our blue marble planet, will then we evolve into more rational Beings? I hope so.
