Floating freely and reproducing vegetatively on the high seas, a genus of free-floating seaweed called Sargassum, ‘holopelagi.’ flourishes. A wide variety of prokaryotic life, home and shelter to vast aquatic species, a virtual garden of Eden, first referenced through a poem by the late 4th-century author Rufus Festus Avienus, and later by 15th-century Portuguese explorations, through this remarkable seaweed the Sargasso Sea became to be known.
