What is Sargasso Sea?

Sargasso Sea is a part of the North Atlantic Ocean, which is characterized by unusually flat and still, thanks to some tricks of ocean currents in the region. This part of the Atlantic has become quite famous and is surrounded by mysterious stories and speculations. The truth behind the Sargasso Sea is almost as interesting as all stories about it, because this area, which, according to all rights, should be like a desert in the ocean, is actually teeming with life. This seaweed is also known as Gulfweed. The Sargasso Sea is bounded by the stream of the Persian stream, which orbits the area along with several other currents and creates an area of ​​strange peace in the middle of the Atlantic.

One of the greatest myths about Sargasso Sea is that seaweed is entangled by ships and it is certainly true that a number of abandoned bumps were found floating. But it is not seaweed that captures them, it is a lack of wind. This sea is in one of the ocean areas known as doldrums, where the relative wind deficiency can catch a sailboat. SargAsso is also near the Bermuda Triangle, the notorious area of ​​the Atlantic, and this may have improved the mystic of the area.

Since the Sea Sargasso is relatively flat and still, with the ocean day very far below, scientists expected to be lifeless. Sargassum is an obvious contradiction with this theory and scientific surveys in this area have actually revealed incredibly diverse form of life at microscopic level. The confused scientists until they realized that deeper ocean currents under the region were supplied by nutrients, making it rich and abundant parts of the ocean.

Sargasso The sea also plays notable roles in the reproductive cycle of eels. The North American and European eel are returned there to lay eggs, with Elvers or Young Eels slowly pass from the sea Sargasso back to their parents' homes on a truly remarkable journey.
