I found this story about mystery globs off the Alaskan coast:
Huge blob of Arctic goo floats past Slope communities: Arctic Alaska | adn.com
"Hunters from Wainwright first started noticing the stuff sometime probably early last week. It's thick and dark and "gooey" and is drifting for miles in the cold Arctic waters,"
"It's certainly biological," Hasenauer said. "It's definitely not an oil product of any kind. It has no characteristics of an oil, or a hazardous substance, for that matter.
I've seen this stuff in the caribbean flying in and out of Miami. A couple of times it was flowing on the gulf stream between Miami and the Bahamas. Another time it flowing north around the Carolinas, again following the gulf stream.
Wondering if anyone has seen it from the water, from a cruise ship or a fishing boat? I asked a marine biologist once, and he said it might be sea grass, but I don't think so.
