Arrggggh!!!
Why can't the world be simpler?
We have dumped a bunch of plastic into the ocean. Bad!
Some people are trying to clean up that plastic from the ocean. Good?
Maybe...but it's more complicated than just "Good!" because there are tiny neuston (from wikipedia: "organisms that live at the surface of a body of water, such as an ocean, estuary, lake, river, or pond") that use those floating plastics to help stay afloat and on which they lay eggs, and removing all the plastic would remove a significant portion of their habitat...which might be bad for the environment as a whole.
So removing that plastic from the ocean might be Bad!
Arrrrrgggghhh!!!
