So with System 03 they would need to do 100 missions (and the missions take maybe a year?) but if they had funding for ten of these deployments and ran them simultaneously then the problem would be gone in 10 years (after complementary measures are taken to prevent the patch from growing).
I wonder if the International Maritime Organization could mandate that all fishing gear be marked with unique barcodes, and require countries to check that all boats heading out into international waters have recorded those barcodes against their ship registrations in a global public log. The biggest political problem with that would be allowing other countries to do inspections to ensure compliance.
