Remember the blob?

That giant blob of stinky seaweed that was headed to Florida earlier this year has shrunk, and what’s out there is less than scientists have seen in recent years.

The massive blob of seaweed that started stinking up Florida beaches earlier this year has started to shrink, according to researchers at the University of South Florida.

A study found that a 5,000-mile-long Sargassum seaweed clump off of Florida's east coast has been carrying floating plastics that hold the bacteria.

In March, the blob made landfall at numerous Florida beaches, covering them in seaweed. Now, the blob is reportedly headed to Galveston, Texas.

All that stringy stuff that washed up on Brevard County beaches this past week is just the beginning of what scientists predict will grow into the largest-ever bloom of Sargassum seaweed ever recorded, according to News 6′s partners at Florida Today.

A nearly 5,000-mile-wide blob of seaweed heading towards Florida has been seen from space and washing ashore in parts of Florida.

A massive seaweed blob so large that it is visible from space is heading towards the Florida Gulf coast.

Researchers said the smelly seaweed, called Sargassum, is coming in record numbers this year to Central Florida’s coast and unfortunately, it’s going to get worse soon before it gets better,
