Abstract
A survey of pelagic Sargassum spp. in the North Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico between 1977 and 1981 showed that the biomass of the plants in the Sargasso Sea was <6% of the values in 1933 to 1935. There were also major decreases in the Gulf of Mexico, in the slope water mass of North America, and near Bahama Islands. The drastic reduction over the past half century may be related to an increase in anthropogenic materials in the ocean.
