Great Pacific garbage patch cleanup fails to collect plastic
The Ocean Cleanup Project is essentially a scam at this point. It can't work for numerous ecological (scoops up ocean life) and engineering (the ocean is HUGE, corrosive, and violent) reasons. Not to mention that ocean microplastics are distributed throughout the first 100 meters of ocean water, and this goes nowhere near that deep. Of course, they dismiss these concerns or deflect with scientific BS (which the media gobbles up) whenever they are brought up.<p>They can't get this to work on such a minuscule scale in placid water off the coast of the Netherlands, it won't work in the North Pacific on a far grander scale.
