I wonder how practical it would be to have some sort of plastic filter / water processing plant where these rivers dump into the ocean. It would be in all of our best interest to fund something like that, but I wonder if you could do it without a negative ecological impact, i.e. blocking wildlife from traversing the river to and from the ocean.

This seems like the real issue: someone still needs to take it from the dumpster, but at that point it's a manageable problem.
