Using technology in home water filter systems, we easily remove physical impurities down to 1/10,000 of micron.  The plastic pieces in the ocean (known as “Mermaid’s Tears”), although broken down by the ocean’s movement and the sun, are much larger.  Simple home cartridge water filters usually filter down to between 1 and 5 microns (the diameter of a human hair is 40 microns, for reference).  If we build large physical filter “paddles” or “scoops” on the bottom of the tankers, we could essentially vacuum the surface of the ocean while trolling the Pacific Gyre .  The filter mechanisms could rotate into the ship, with the debris being rinsed off using high-pressure sprayers and stored the ship’s belly for later recycling.  The problem is severe and this approach would only touch the surface (literally), but it would be a start…
