The Sargasso sea is a sea without any land boundaries located in the north-western part of Atlantic Ocean bound by 4 currents- Gulf Stream in the west, North Atlantic Drift in the north, Canary Current in the east and North Equatorial Current in the south. The 4 currents together form a clockwise-circulating system of ocean currents also called as an ocean gyre.

The name 'Sargasso' is derived from a brown seaweed called Sargassum that floats freely in the sea. These seaweeds houses a wide variety of marine life in the area including several species of fishes and even turtles!
