Marine Protected Areas (MPAs): Sargasso Sea. Photo 72: Map of Sargasso Sea. (NOAA Photo Library.) The Sargasso Sea is located entirely within the Atlantic Ocean and characterized by the presence of holopelagic Sargassum. Holopelagic Sargassum is free-floating algae that remains in the open ocean for its entire life cycle.
A ship could no more be stuck in the Sargasso Sea than it could be stuck in any other part of the ocean. Because the winds and currents are relatively calm there, sailing ships frequently found themselves becalmed--trapped not by the humble seaweed but by a lack of wind.
