So... an individual is apparently capable of constructing thousands of miles worth of marine-environment infrastructure in international waters crisscrossed by global shipping routes, managing the continuing maintenance of such infrastructure, and the logistics of collecting transportation and disposable of thousands of tons of waste... but is unable to effect political change of any kind?

So pointing out that an individual can't change internally policy is a false comparison.
