Yes, there is a shipbuilder in France dedicated to building this sorts of ocean cleaners, shooting to make 4M Euros in 2012. Try that. Sorry I lost their coordinates but they are indirectly connected to the french authorities in environment health. Good luck. Howdi.

He did well that for quite some time, but I ignore what happened to him. Similarly, a flotilla of harvesters could be based in a bigger mother ship and be out lifting nasty plastic content of ocean, bringing it in to the mother ship, similarly to those Cod fish sailors who would work in the Canadian NorthEast waters and return to the mother ship with their catch, at times days later. You probably saw the film with the Portuguese four mast sailboat from late 50's, right? Mutatis mutandis your catch would be something else...

Here's a placemark for the Great Pacific Garbage Patch for access in Google Earth. It's stated that the area is twice the size of Texas, and seeing on a map is believing. bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/placemarks/ 1042947-ThedomainoftheGreatPacificGarbagePatch.kmz Good point.
