Why The #OceanCleanup Hasn’t Solved the #Plastic #Pollution Crisis
Global problems are rarely solved by one person or invention — even if they go viral. Ocean Cleanup didn’t work, for reasons experts said it wouldn’t.
Removing plastic would catch & kill many marine organisms, because the waters of this region aren’t a trash-filled biological desert. The area is full of #neuston species that may not be as charismatic as dolphins or sea turtles but ecologically important.

Tiny sea creature Porpita porpita may live adrift at sea for years longer than previously thought https://phys.org/news/2026-05-tiny-sea-creature-porpita-adrift.html https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-026-49897-y
"Blue button is a collection of tiny polyps attached to a disk made of chitin with chambers of air that acts as a float... They grow to about 4–5 cm in diameter and drift wherever the current takes them... A 4-mm-radius colony was about 3 months old, a 12-mm one about 1 year old, while a 23-mm colony was an unexpected average of 5 years old"

Neuston, we have a problem: why do we know so little about the creatures floating on the #ocean surface? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/jun/30/neuston-sea-creatures-ocean-surface-science-study
"Known collectively as the #neuston, these creatures are not tied to any one place. Instead, they move with the wind and the water. Sometimes they gather into huge drifts, living islands of #velella and #bluebottles... At other times they clump together around drifting debris or spread out sparsely over hundreds or even thousands of square kilometres."

Animal #evolution at the #ocean’s water-air interface https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(23)01526-9
"#neuston did indeed evolve from ancestors that were substrate-attached but not necessarily to the #seafloor. This means that the neustonic organisms may be derived from #benthic organisms and other organisms that aren’t benthic but still attach to a substrates in the #pelagic zone."

"The presence of a gelatinous surface microlayer film had been proposed in 1983, based partly on observations of the slick associated with blooms in the #SargassoSea of the filamentous #cyanobacteria #Trichodesmium... What about the ocean surface film from the #microbial neustonian point of view? It might appear to be an immense #biofilm stretching from horizon to horizon... Estimates of its thickness range from 1 to 50 µm"
