The companies who are working with the Ocean Cleanup Project are one of the best marine companies in the world. They are not naive about what an ocean is. Ofcourse this is also a learning project. So a lot of money is invested just to learn more. But I don't think you should call it a scam. The reason they only collect at the surface is that it's less likely they will scoop up ocean life. This will make the first steps easier.
