Even at 100,000x all you would be doing is treading water. This is how big the problem is and how utterly pointless this particular clean up effort was.
Virtually all the plastic in the oceans comes from two sources: River waste from seven different rivers in Asia, and fishing nets that are discarded by fishing trawlers.
Stop those at their source and you will eliminate something like 90% of the plastic waste in the ocean.
