To that end, a loose perimeter has been set up around SCP-5955 using buoys.
On the night of July 3rd, from 20:00 to 05:00, the lights of the establishments on the Atlantic City boardwalk are to remain off in order to avoid degrading SCP-5955-1 instances. Oceanic Task Force Delta-7 ("Bay Watchers") are to deter any civilian ships away from the mass of SCP-5955 and supplied with Standard Cover Story 51 - "Intensive Weather". OTF Delta-7 are to guide SCP-5955-1 instances away from the coast of Atlantic City, New Jersey to ensure civilian safety. Efforts to repurpose SCP-5955-1 instances for Foundation use are currently underway.
For the remainder of the year, SCP-5955 must be "fed" two thousand kilograms of plastic, styrofoam, discarded fishing gear, and other refuse every two weeks. Any notable shrinkage in SCP-5955's mass is to be reported to the Site-45 director.
Depending on the amount of mass lost, anywhere from one to four additional unmanned trash boats are to be set on a collision course with the area SCP-5955 resides.
Recovery of these boats should be performed if possible. Two Scranton Reality Anchors ("SRAs") are to remain on opposite sides of SCP-5955's perimeter to disable SCP-5955's anomalous magnetism, and to ensure anomalous weather behavior does not occur. SCP-5955 must weigh at least four tons to ensure its primary ability properly disables. If SCP-5955 weighs any less than four tons at any time, its primary ability will re-enable regardless of SRA presence.
Description: SCP-5955 is a large sphere composed of human flesh. For the majority of the year, SCP-5955 remains hidden underwater. Despite this, SCP-5955 attracts refuse within a radius of about thirty meters to itself, suctioning the collected waste under water.
Each year on July third from 20:00 to 05:00 UCT, SCP-5955 will rise from beneath the water, remaining stationary in the air.
During this period, a collection of autonomous mechanisms composed of various waste materials (designated SCP-5955-1) will emerge from SCP-5955. SCP-5955-1 instances vary in appearance, although all instances to date appeared to resemble different wildlife native to Atlantic City. A list of specific SCP-5955-1 instances is available upon request.
After emergence, SCP-5955-1 instances begin to roam the coast within 150 kilometers of Atlantic City and collect foreign materials from the surrounding area. In the presence of artificial light, SCP-5955-1 instances will begin to rapidly degrade. This causes SCP-5955 to produce instances at a rapid rate, and expand its magnetism to 100 meters. Before SCP-5955-1 instances return to SCP-5955, at least one will use collected refuse to spell out a message on the boardwalk. After SCP-5955-1 instances complete refuse collection at 4:55, they will transport discovered materials beneath SCP-5955. SCP-5955 will then absorb collected refuse and SCP-5955-1 and re- submerge beneath the ocean surface.

Please help! The ocean needs you!
2004 SCP-5955's epidermis appears pale.
The garbage is icky.
2006 A small collection of blisters forms on SCP-5955's posterior. SCP-5955 is slightly smaller than normal; its size returns when supplied with additional refuse by Delta-7 operatives.
Thanks for helping me with the trash! I thought you gave up 2010 SCP-5955's epidermis is dry and cracked.
The ocean needs you!
2012 SCP-5955's epidermis is pale red. SCP-5955-1 instance production doubles.
The ocean needs you please 2013 SCP-5955's epidermis is pale green.
Why can't you help 2014 SCP-5955's epidermis is swelled. SCP-5955 emits a putrid odor.
Do you not like me I just want to help 2015 SCP-5955 begins to undergo putrefaction, and its magnetism disables.
Your help is needed 2016 SCP-5955 appears unchanged. It produces a notably smaller amount of SCP-5955-1 instances.
Please help 2017 SCP-5955 is now significantly smaller; its size does not grow when supplied with additional refuse. While it absorbs the collected refuse, pieces of the collection fall out of SCP-5955.
Please 2018 SCP-5955 produces approximately a dozen SCP-5955-1 instances.
Please 2019 SCP-5955 is unable to absorb the collected trash.
Please 2020 SCP-5955 does not produce SCP-5955-1. It remains stationary in the air.
N/A SCP-5955 has not reemerged, nor shown any signs of activity. Re-classification to neutralized is pending.
