Abstract
One or more nets can be suspended from beams extending from ships where they are towed through riparian waterways such as lakes and oceans to remove plastic waste from those waterways. In the instance of micro-bead removal, a pump can be utilized to move the waste from the end of the collection bag through a hose to the deck of the towing vessel. In the case of rivers, the net can be supported adjacent a riverbank using a plurality of posts. Fish excluders with exit flaps are employed to ensure no damage is done to wildlife within the riparian waterways.
