Scientists predict there will be a 40 percent increase in the smelly Sargassum seaweed.
The seaweed is predicted to break the previous record amount from 2022.
Scientists track the algae that wash ashore every year, and they predict this could be Florida's worst seaweed season ever.
When the seaweed decomposes, it is said to smell like rotten eggs.
Sargassum can also cause skin irritation and itching. It can even impact sea turtles' nesting season because the turtles avoid beaches with the smelly seaweed in the area.
