Which one of the following is not correct about Sargasso Sea?

The Sargasso Sea is a unique region in the North Atlantic Ocean defined by its surrounding currents rather than land boundaries [3]. It is characterized by an anticyclonic (clockwise) circulation of ocean currents forming the North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre [3]. This system creates a central area of calm, motionless water where floating Sargassum seaweed accumulates [2]. Due to high evaporation and low precipitation in this subtropical high-pressure zone, it records the highest salinity in the Atlantic Ocean. However, statement 3 is incorrect regarding its location: the Sargasso Sea is bounded on the west by the Gulf Stream and on the east by the Canary Current [3]. Therefore, it is located east of the Gulf Stream and west of the Canary Current, making the description in option 3 geographically reversed and thus the incorrect statement.
