They are just clogging up the whole harbor, so thick you can barely see through them. Annoying but probably not dangerous.

Little clear things? Sea Sprites? They've been washing up at the Race, looks like a booger blitz.

They gum up your line real bad. Near impossible to get off too. But if you make your line real tight and pluck it like a guitar string it will flick off most of it.
