Sea level rise alone could drive more than 23,000 climate migrants from Florida's coasts to Alachua County in the next 75 years, according to business and economy experts.

This year is predicted to be another big sargassum year, which could potentially be more record-breaking than the 2023 and 2025 seasons. And the problem is only expected to get worse.

Massive piles of sargassum, the size of which have not been seen before, are floating this way, right now, sure to coat the beaches of Florida's East Coast, the Keys, and various Caribbean islands.

The concerns originate in a state-commissioned environmental assessment on the Everglades detention site, which has detained thousands of migrants since opening last summer.

The statistical model considers angler behavior as a factor in predicting the probability of exceeding fishing quotas.
