That's a potential risk, but I think working on both is ok. Organisations like the ocean conservancy deal with trying to change more upstream things like legislation. Even when we do fix the source of the problem we'll have A LOT of ocean plastic to clean up, so starting now seems reasonable. Again, so long as people are also working on the source further upstream, which they are!
