Sargosso Seas and Global Warming
Typically Sargasso is seen in the Northwest region of the Atlantic Ocean. And typically it is very beneficial to aquatic life in many ways. But recently, the Sargasso route has been changing due to the rise of nitrogen, iron, and phosphorus from the Sahara Desert sand. On top of this, with increasing temperatures, these masses of algae are growing rapidly as well as washing up more than ever in the Caribbean! Not only is this harmful to humans, but it is also harmful to some aquatic life. When it grows too thick, dolphins and turtles can no longer break through to the surface and often suffocate or choke to death. When sunlight can no longer reach the bottom floor, bottom life gets damaged to the point of extinction. Sargasso sea can be extremely beneficial to oceanic life, but it can also be harmful. Let's take a closer look to better understand what creates this fine line and how it can be crossed. Once the Sargasso washes up on shore, it will then begin to decompose. In this sta
