I just had to know. After my research it seems the Pacific sargassum is mainly rooted, a different variety from the Atlantic floating species which forms the infamous sargasso sea.

Marine Algae of California (Abbott and Hollenberg) shows some species that extend from California down to Baja California. Judith Connor Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute"   Ginger M. Allen
