Does the Great Pacific Garbage Patch increase sedimentation rates over the patch?

As in, does the debris in the patch area eventually sink?

And if so, could sedimentation measurements over these regions provide a more fine-scaled measure of environmental conditions than sedimentation measurements over other regions?
