Removing the plastic from the Ocean

What kinds of plastic debris are we talking about removing?

• Marine Debris (general overview)
• Nurdles and Plastic Bags

Standard ways of getting fish (but not garbage) out of the oceans:

• Manta Trawls (a kind of net)
• Fishing Nets (all kinds)
• Ghost Nets (fishing nets lost at sea)
  

Some of the solutions we are pursuing using at sea include:

• Abundant Seas Foundation's Pelagic Pods
