Wikipedia
gulfweed
Sargassum is a genus of brown (class Phaeophyceae) macroalgae (seaweed) 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 (free-floating) species. Most species within the class Phaeophyceae are predominantly cold-water organisms that benefit from nutrients upwelling, but the genus Sargassum appears to be an exception. Any number of the normally benthic species may take on a planktonic, often pelagic existence after being removed from reefs during rough weather; however, two species (S. natans and S. fluitans) have become holopelagic—reproducing vegetatively and never attaching to the seafloor during their lifecycles. The Atlantic Ocean's Sargasso Sea was named after the algae, as it hosts a large amount of Sargassum.

gulfweed
Gulfweed is a type of brown algae, also known as Sargassum, which is commonly found in the Sargasso Sea. It is characterized by its bushy form and branches with berry-like gas-filled structures that help it float on the surface of the water. It can also be found in other tropical or temperate oceans. It is named 'gulfweed' due to its abundant presence in the gulf stream.
