Ironically this is what people said when they were focusing on cleaning the ocean: "they should focus on rivers, that's how most trash gets into the ocean".

- woleium 3y agoi read that a lot of ocean plastic comes from the fishing industry
- stephen_g 3y agoWell, if you watch their videos most of what is caught is from the fishing industry, but it's probably a difference in durability. Plastic from rivers etc. are going to fairly quickly break down into (polluting) microplastics because the plastic is pretty thin, so it's best to stop that at the rivers, while a lot of what they are catching in the garbage patch is from the fishing industry because it's all made of thicker plastic and would take a lot longer to break down.
