Can't we just build some type of industrial machine to sweep the ocean and collect all the floating plastics?
These already exist. Just have to adapt it for use in the Gulf... would likely have to be a lot bigger.

The problem is that these plastics are throughout the water column. This isn't simply bags and bottles floating on the surface.
