It is a seaweed that grows abundantly in the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf Stream moves some of the Sargassum along with it and it gathers in the part of the North Atlantic called the Sargasso Sea. The Sargassum there goes through its entire life cycle without the need to attach to the sea floor. The area is bound by four different currents, and is usually an area of calm waters.
