Description: Bounded not by land but by ocean currents, the Sargasso Sea is one of the planet's strangest and most mesmerizing waters—a shoreless expanse where golden weed drifts across a deep blue gyre. This book charts the sea's remarkable geography, the floating sargassum forests that shelter an entire ecosystem, and the astonishing migration of eels that cross oceans to spawn in its depths. From centuries of sailors' legends to the modern pressures of pollution and climate change, it offers a vivid portrait of a place unlike any other on Earth. Both a natural history and a call to attention, it invites readers to see the open ocean with fresh wonder.
