The Sargasso Sea is a floating forest of golden sargassum algae

Bounded by currents of the North Atlantic gyre rather than shores, the Sargasso holds mats of buoyant brown algae that never need a seafloor to root.

Juvenile sea turtles, shrimp, and endemic crabs hide in the weed; eels arrive from distant rivers to spawn in its warm, salty core.

A sea without a coastline can still be a forest. Sargassum turns open blue water into a nursery maze written in floating gold.
