Look at the size of the areas affected. A single ship couldn't make a meaningful dent in the amount out there.

Maybe not, but if you are serous about something you do what you can, even if it is very little. If I throw a plastic bottle in the ocean, I haven't contributed an appreciable amount of plastic to the ocean, yet I wouldn't throw one in because I know it is not a good thing to do. If I see a piece of trash on the beach or side of the road, I pick it up and throw it into a trash can, it doesn't make a dent in the overall amount of trash there, but it is the right thing to do. If you see someone hungry and cold, and you say to them "Be fed, be warm" have you done them any good? No. But if you give them food and a coat, you have taken care of their needs, if only for a moment.

I am only asking the questions in the previous post because I want to know if the people involved are serious about fixing the problem or only about sounding an alarm to be seen and heard. If you are serious about a cause you will be putting your time, effort, and influence into it.
