    Me, 5 seconds ago: Oh, well the lake here in Ohio has a lot of debris in it too, I’m sure it’s not that baHOLY SHIT THAT’S SO MUCH

    It almost looks like I could go walk across the surface.

    That’s an insane amount. How do you even go about cleaning it all up? A bunch of small boats and guys with rakes, or do you look into transporting a trash barge with a crane and have dump trucks haul it all away?

    Won’t be quick or easy, that’s for sure.

        I suppose if you’ve got appropriately strong nets, you could corral everything closer to a spot with easier access with only a handful of boats (theoretically just one, and an anchor point)

    But where is the lake?

    Jokes aside, this will take a while to clean up and I doubt there is much fish left in that mess and the water quality is probably dangerous.

    As someone who had a really bad infection after being in contact with water contaminated by a huge flood: Stay safe and stay away from water like this and wash and wash and then again wash your hands and everything.
