message: A matter worth discussing is how to go about preserving the Sargasso Sea by some kind of international marine or maritime agreement. Having worked in the international context of protection of the marine environment for many years, it appears evident that protection of marine areas, in particular on the high seas need strong advocacy from someone before the discussion even starts. Since no state claims sovreignity over these waste parts of the Atlantic Ocean, it will probabely not get it. 
Is protection necesary?
The area is within reach of the maritime trafic, including oil tankers en route from the Gulfs area tc. If, for some reason or the other the Sargasso Sea rea is used for changing ballast there are 2 threats, pollution and boinvasion. 
I might be allone thinking of protection the Sargasso Area, bu it is stil my sincere opinion.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.32.130.242 (talk • contribs)

message: The Sargasso Sea is also a prominent element in the 1995 Dark Horse comic Indiana Jones and the Sargasso Pirates. It might be neat to add it to the list of media references, I remember reading that book as a teenager.

The Sargasso Sea is mentioned during the first season of SeaQuest DSV (1993), Episode 9, "Bad Water".  Commander Ford, Lucas and Dr. Westphalen end up trapped in the Sargasso Sea after their launch is destroyed by a fresh water sink hole.  The episode has them in "the eye of a hurricane" as well because of all of the currents that surround the Sargasso Sea swirl around the Sea "but in the middle nothing moves, everything remains extremely calm".  Quotes are script lines from the show.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.74.80.242 (talk) 06:09, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

message: As a start to updating this page, I reorganized it into the following subtopics:
-First two paragraphs are the intro, no subtitle 
-Third paragraph is Ecology, also including bit about Craig Venter and plastics 
-Fourth paragraph History
-Fifth paragraph Connection to the Bermuda Triangle
I think the North Sea article has a good layout that should be followed as it is a B rated article. Will be updating more later... -Enviropearson (talk) 19:40, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Good article to go through and find info on the Sargasso is here, from US NOAA:
http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/general/lib/seagrass.html
One of the only books I could find on the Sargasso is this one: Teal, J. and M. Teal. 1975. The Sargasso Sea. Little, Brown, Boston, MA, 216 p.

replies: text: The Sargasso Sea isn't really featured in media often and its appearance in Johnny Quest was one of the more notable episodes. In fact, it was parodied by The Venture Brothers in "Ghosts of the Sargasso". So while it clearly means nothing to you, that obviously isn't true for everyone. Also, your comment isn't particularly constructive. If the article is incomplete, add material. If it is poorly written, rewrite it. At the very least, you could make helpful suggestions, rather than just say "This page is terrible"...Sheriffjt (talk) 21:53, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

message: The only link that shows proof of a garbage patch is #5 to a Greenpeace page.  This link is then completely refuted in the Skeptoid episode that is linked to in the External Links.  Is there even a garbage patch there?  For real?  I can't see it on Google Earth, and the Skeptoid guy makes a good point.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.246.72.180 (talk) 21:35, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

message: One thing I don't get from this page is in what sense this is a sea.  I'm not saying the page or name is wrong, but it does conflict with what most people, myself included, would consider to be a sea.
Are there any knowledgable editors who could address that issue?  Izuko (talk) 17:19, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

message: The Depictions in popular culture section, subsection Stories set within the Sea, cites 
"Victor Appleton's Don Sturdy novel, Don Sturdy in the Port of Lost Ships".
There is no such person as "Victor Appleton" -- as following the link to the Victor Appleton article will confirm.  It was a pen name used by an entire stable of pulp writers.  I submit that either the actual writer who was using the name for the cited novel should be identified as the proper author, or some mention should be made that Appleton is a faux person.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.249 (talk) 01:56, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
