Default Re: Polluted Sea - What to do?

Interesting, very interesting! I just have one doubt. The boats will have to cover the entire area in order to have the sorbent effective. Which means they will have to be in the sea for a very long duration.

A suggestion, instead of using robot controlled boats, you could do away with fishing nets and/or the bulbs that are used to keep them floating. They not only spread across a larger area but are also cheap. What say?
