The sargassum is expected or predicted in the next few months, so it won't be there during my first trip to Pensacola. But it's possible it will be later in the summer.
The major news outlets are talking about it.

Since you don't, let me help. It's on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, in the northwest corner. The seaweed is in the
Atlantic Ocean, and will impact the
Atlantic coast. That's the area by Miami up to Jacksonville (those are on the east side of the state), the opposite side as Pensacola. That entire big part of Florida that sticks south is going to stop the big bad seaweed monster from ruining your summer if you go to Pensacola.
It's pretty funny to me that someone doesn't even look at a map when they read these stories. How did you think this mass of seaweed was going to get to Pensacola? Southwest Airlines?
