Description: We were fishing a long weedline for Dolphinfish (Mahi Mahi) to tag with Pop-up satellite archival tags (PSATs), and on a break a GoPro was submerged underwater to capture this habitat. When sargassum washes up on the beach people often consider it a nuisance; however offshore where habitat is limited it is an important shelter for small fish, shrimp, and crabs.nnIn this video many fish are present.The dominant species is Gray Triggerfish.Also visible are Bermuda Chub, Triple Tail, Almaco Jac
