By Rachel Jaeger If you explored the ocean, you would find everywhere a large, leafy, brown seaweed called sargassum. There are many kinds of sargassum, but all of them have little round structures called pneumatocysts attached to their leafy branches that are filled with oxygen, giving the seaweed buoyancy. It floats on the surface of
