Several self contained factory ships like the large whalers used to be with support vessels is what they need, payed for by private donations. Conveyor it up the front, strain it, remelt it down and form it into new practical products coming out the rear to be carried off and used.

Floating plastic is not pollution, nor is it really a problem to anyone but those with an itchy a$$hole.

That flotsam is home to life.

This is like everything else “environmental,” Fake to the core.

The fish are healthier where that mass of flotsam is. It provides a very prolific food chain.

It may be affordable, but its just another ‘solution’ in search of a problem.

That’s what it really is, but with a net hanging below.

It will destroy a huge thriving ecosystem.

Your tube ain’t so giant from what I’ve heard here, and I tend to doubt that its ever clean.

(OK, just joking)

>> “ Will take a lot less time to clean up the ocean destroy all that floating life!” <<

[editor-surveyor]

.
>> “ Their chance of changing the state of the ocean in any meaningful way is zero.” <<

For sure, like everything “environmental.”

[editor-surveyor]

.
And its now a thriving ecosystem.

Exactly. Just a big net. Haven’t they been doing this same thing for years?

All those gallon milk bottle art projects must be really disconcerting to see from the air.

[editor-surveyor]

.
From 40,000 feet?

How big is a milk jug 8 miles away?
.

[SunkenCiv]

Bigger than your sense of humor, obviously.

[editor-surveyor]

.
No, but you took the wrong direction.

Its impossible to tell what the stuff is, even from one mile up. Most think its foam bubbles on the surface.

One woman asked if there was a ship sunken below emitting oil when she saw it. (would have had to be quite a huge ship to make such a large patch) She had no idea even how far away it was.

It takes a leftie nut case to imagine that its a problem, and it doesn’t look like anything my unprofessional eyes call “art.”

They have a BIG job ahead of them - I wish them well.
