Yeah, I think plastic could prove to be fatal to some of the major ecosystems in the ocean. I kind of like it when beaches gets filled with plastic like this; now people can actually see what their pollution is doing to the ocean, and are forced to deal with it! Of course it requires beach cleanings every once in a while, but I guess that's the price we got to pay for polluting.

It is great that awareness is increasing! I believe that we have solved a big part of the issue if we can get most people to recycle their plastic in the first place. I also like the idea of making technological systems that can remove the plastic, but this really makes no sense if we keep on polluting at the same pace.

Thanks for a great comment, @acdevan! :D
