They are doing similar tryouts in Big Rivers now too. But that's a lot harder than cleaning what's already stagnant.

The sheer force of the water and waste is difficult to hold in place with nets. But they're definitely working on it.

I trust programs like this and admire the work. It's a good thing for life in general to get rid of that shit. It's just abysmal that companies still use so much plastic for everything.

No doubt it's good work, but the plastic shouldn't get in there in the first place. That was my only point.

it shouldn’t, but realistically it will and given that it’s good to be able to clean it up
