Description
No, someone isn't dumping spaghetti on the beach like they did in the woods that one time... still, clumps of noodle-like plants are washing ashore along several Pinellas County beaches, leaving many people wondering what it is.
Thankfully, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWC) was able to shed some light on the situation and identify the mysterious substance.
FWC researchers started their "investigation" after someone reported seeing the white material wash ashore on a beach in Pinellas County, they explained on Facebook.
