if you look at the picture at the top of the article what you see is the flotsam from fishing fleets -
—
Mainly the 750,000 boat PLAN maritime fishing fleet (armed) which, when clustered at anchor, can literally turn the ocean into shit soup. Where ever they go, they strip the ocean of all life.
They are the worst of the worst, without equal from any nation.
Sounds like a great opportunity for some enterprising individual to come up with an ocean-going Roomba, solar powered. Just let about 100 of these things loose and call me when they’re done.
This is the picture that accompanies the article. There is little evidence of them picking up tons of trash except barrels.
It could certainly that the picture is stock, and was chosen since it has a picture of a "Maersk" container on it. All of these plastic items look like what would be used on any fishing vessel.
