The Ocean Cleanup team claims their 2,000-foot tube will provide the solution to widespread plastic pollution in the world's seas.
They'll stone you when you try to go home.
The Pacific Ocean is 30 percent of the world's surface. And it sez here, "The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a collection of plastic, floating trash halfway between Hawaii and California, has grown to more than 600,000 square miles... twice the size of Texas."
The tube is made of plastic. One day the tow rope will break off from the ship and the tube sink into the ocean....
Does it work on swamps..in particular unwanted swamp creatures?

This is nothing new, its been done before at a somewhat smaller scale.
The “Junk” is now home to billions or trillions of phyto-organisms, so the project will wreak biological mayhem.
In short it will accomplish exactly the opposite of what it claims to be doing.

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.
