<P> In the early 2000s, the Sargasso Sea was sampled as part of the Global Ocean Sampling survey, to evaluate its diversity of microbial life through metagenomics . Contrary to previous theories, results indicated the area has a wide variety of prokaryotic life . </P> <P> Owing to surface currents, the Sargasso accumulates a high concentration of non-biodegradable plastic waste . The area contains the huge North Atlantic Garbage Patch . </P> <P> Several nations and nongovernmental organizations have joined together to protect the Sargasso Sea . These organizations include the Sargasso Sea Commission established on 11 March 2014 by the governments of the Azores (Portugal), Bermuda (United Kingdom), Monaco, United Kingdom and the United States . </P> <P> Bacteria have been found in the plastic - polluted waters of the Sargasso sea that consume plastic; however, it is unknown whether these bacteria ultimately clean up poisons or simply spread them elsewhere in the marine microbial ecosystem . Plastic debris can absorb toxic chemicals from ocean pollution, potentially poisoning anything that eats it . </P>
