Are there any clean up projects going on at the major gyres shown in the article? Seems like that would be a good place to start.

Though the majority of the plastic comes from people in Indonesia and China chucking it in the river. Those countries really need to stop that with old fashioned things like littering fines and sticking it in landfills. Plus recycling etc naturally.

Cleaning up gyres are important, but realize that when one removes trash from a gyre, more is back the next day. Stopping production is the most important first-step.
