The setting of the popular animated television series Spongebob Squarepants is the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom, located in the Pacific Ocean. The city is populated by various SEA creatures, including Spongebob himself, and is home to many iconic locations such as the Krusty Krab restaurant and Sandy's treedome. The term SEA is a reference to this setting, as it is an acronym for the phrase 'Surrounding Every Area'.
