A small mass of sargassum weed

A small mass of sargassum weed. The numerous small round spheres are floats filled with carbon dioxide. These provide buoyancy to the algae. Lines of sargassum can stretch for miles along the oceans surface. The clumps of floating algae are often concentrated by the strong winds and wave action associated with the Gulf Stream.
