Sargassum
Similar high biomass strandings of Sargassum increased during the 1980s & 1990s in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), impacting coastlines along both Texas and Florida. Research in the late 1980s documented the importance of boundary current circulation between the GOM, Gulf Stream, Sargasso Sea, & Caribbean region to nutrition, productivity & growth of pelagic Sargassum.
