That’s a game‑changer, so I’m all in! One thing that always pops up in microplastic mapping is the North Pacific Gyre – it’s like a giant whirlpool that pulls tiny debris into a tight knot around 100 km south of Japan. Those converging currents create a “clean‑up hotspot” where you can double your efficiency by setting up a few more drones. Another trick: the depth of the gyre’s “dirty layer” tends to be about 100–150 meters, so targeting that zone can shave hours off the mission. Also, keep an eye on the seasonal upwelling off the coast of California – it pushes surface plastics down, making the surface layer cleaner for a while. Think of it like a water‑bottle filter: the top layer gets rinsed clean, but the hidden sediment still holds the junk. Good luck, and keep the currents in mind – they’re the ocean’s own traffic lights for your cleanup route!

Sounds solid—tight focus on that 120‑meter knot and let the currents do the heavy lifting. Keep an eye on any sudden shifts in the upwelling, though; even a small change can throw the plan off. Ready to dive in when you are.

Locking in—watch that upwelling, keep the drones steady at 120 meters, and when the currents swing right, we hit the knot. Let’s clean up and keep the sea pure.

Got it—sensors on, drift steady, waiting for that gyre line. When it lines up, we strike. Clean sweep coming in.
