While this looks promising, I’m not sure I like the idea of introducing more plastic into our waterways. Does anyone know if our filteration systems are capable of filtering out micro/nanoplastics?

    I mean, no boat/bootie uses up amy more than a tiny fraction of a percentage of a lake. Put them outside of designated lanes, probably within 200m of shore where boats should avoid and go slow anyway and are we really losing anything? I mean, would swimmers care if they can’t use 5% of a beach?

      It would depend what the reduced sunlight does to fish stocks etc.

      On a hydro lake, you wouldn’t want them too close to shore, or else it would end up aground at low lake levels.
