We have these super trawlers and whaling ships which won't have much to do soon, also ships at the end of their life ready for scuttling or scrapping. Would it take much to send them to these congestion points of high concentration plastic and net it up by a surface netting method, maybe compress it into dense cubes on board, then take it to a designated port for recycling. It would need to be an international initiative and i would suggest that the oil producing countries may contribute as it is a product of their resource.Just an idea.
