Pelagic Sargassum in the Gulf of Mexico driven by ocean currents and eddies, Harmful Algae

This study uses satellite data to track the origins and transport pathways of pelagic Sargassum in the Gulf of Mexico. We found that Sargassum can come from the northwestern Gulf or be transported from the northwestern Caribbean Sea by ocean currents and eddies (circular currents). The spatial distribution of Sargassum in the Gulf is largely shaped by the Loop Current System and associated eddies.

Killer Whales in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Off the Southeastern United States

Killer whales occur in the Gulf of Mexico and the North Atlantic, including off the southeastern United States. Data from cetacean surveys during 1990–2021 and other sources were combined to assess killer whale biology, including spatial and temporal distribution, social structure, genetics, morphology, acoustics, and predatory behavior.
