Pollution. Various types of drifting waste such as plastic bottles, bags, nets, ropes, etc. accumulated in aggregations of decomposing sargassum. The genus Sargassum is characterized by having gas vesicles known as aerocysts that provide them with buoyancy. Thanks to these balls of gas, some species of sargassum are able to remain floating on the surface of the ocean for months and the currents end up accumulating them, forming immense aggregations similar to floating islands. Tenerife, Canary Islands.
