A 60 mile wide device could clean up litter in the oceans

By Hicbd

The device "harnesses ocean currents and wind patterns (rotating systems called "gyres") that circulate plastic naturally. (The) design, which is fixed to the seabed, has two 30-mile booms in a V-shape, which funnel debris into a central collecting column."

Caleb	60 miles is a problem. Also, what about trash that doesn't float? And animal impact?
