Florida used to use tractors with rakes to clean up the washed up surf debris. They may still do, don’t know, I don’t live there anymore.
Stinky beach—no fun
In Galveston they put it in a huge pile and leave it to rot. Driving down Sewall Blvd you can smell the stench.
I grew up in Miami (50s & 60’s) where the stuff was so thick sometimes we’d have to leave the beach.
