2/ This pre-print indicates that highest #plastic quantities coincide with highest organism quantities. Their mortality and removal from the ecosystem at scale would likely cause harm in mid-oceanic regions often characterized by low food availability. ht

How much of that garbage is recyclable? What would it cost to design dredges to remove and reuse this material? That would be feasible to do and environmentally & socially acceptable by most.
