Norma, Seabeans are also known as drift seeds. The majority of seeds making Florida landfall originate in South or Central America. These are seeds or fruits which fall from their parent plant, tree or vine and land or wash down into a stream or river. The seeds then travel downstream and arrive at the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico, only to be caught up in currents leading to the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream loops into the Gulf of Mexico, cruises past the southern tip of Florida and then up the east coast of the United States. Many seabeans leave the Gulf Stream and head toward the coast of Florida, where some eventually land on the beaches and shorelines. These seeds are usually hidden in the layers of "wrack" - or lines of seaweed - that pinstripe the high tide line of many beaches. If you want to learn more about seabeans and the different plants and trees they come from you can go to www.seabean.com There is even a seabean collection in the Brevard Museum in Melbourne, FL. Seabeans are used in crafts, particularly jewelry. This is bazaar season in Miami (they are a big deal) and lots of the venders have seabean jewelry.
