Sargassum: A Complex 'Island' Community at Sea
"The surface layer of the ocean off North Carolina is dynamic, constantly in motion due to the waves and northward advancement of the Gulf Stream"
"With regard to Sargassum habitats off North Carolina, we have learned that the Gulf Stream acts as a conduit, bringing these pelagic (open-water) brown algae into the area and creating a diverse and essential floating habitat for many fishes in an otherwise barren area" http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/explor...sargassum.html Located well off the Carolina coast, I guess this is what the old sailors called the "Saragossa Sea." ???

Now a bill will be introduced to control the 'harvesting' of the Sargassum.
