The Sargasso Sea is a unique region in the Atlantic Ocean, defined by swirling currents and vast mats of Sargassum seaweed – the only sea without land boundaries. Known for its exceptionally clear, deep blue water, it’s a crucial breeding ground for eels and a haven for young sea turtles. Historically shrouded in mystery and featuring in literature from Verne to Rhys, the sea faces modern threats from pollution and overfishing, prompting international conservation efforts. It’s also a site of significant scientific discovery, from understanding eel migration to revealing the ocean’s microbial diversity. Wikipedia
