is this a setup for Chris Christie
At least in 1958 a Blob allowed that young actor Steve McQueen to get his break. Wonder if he ever made it in Hollywood later on.

...or even ambergris - a rare and valuable substance produced by whales and used in the perfume industry...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That is some weird stuff. Produced in the GI tract of whales, apparently to coat foreign objects so they don’t do damage. Then the whales either barf it up or die and decay and the globs of it float to the surface and wash up on beaches. It then gets collected for making perfume. At full strength it smells nasty but highly diluted in alcohol it has a distinctive and very pleasing sweet smell. There is such a thing as synthetic ambergris but the best (and priciest) perfumes and colognes use the real thing.

Residue from members of the “View” swimming nearby, perhaps?
Probably “sea pork.” Dead and deteriorated.
I think it is a type of tunicate that normally is attached to underwater rocks but can wash ashore after big storms or hurricanes.
...was not a sea sponge and contained no biological material.
Last time I saw reports of this kind of thing was after I spent a day swimming.
