Sargassum: Giant Seaweed

Sargassum: Giant Seaweed

Dr Abe V Rotor

Sargassum*

You make a forest on the sea floor
Where the fishes hide from the storm,
What puzzles those who explore
Is your massive yet simple form. ~

Sargassum is a genus of brown macroalgae in the order Fucales. Numerous species are distributed throughout the temperate and tropical oceans of the world, where they generally inhabit shallow water and coral reefs, and the genus is widely known for its planktonic species. Wikipedia
