As much as I might be disgusted by the ideas of oceanic rubbish gyres, the image you've posted (and, to a degree, the ones in the article) are NOT representative of the reality.
That kind of reality would be relatively easily to deal with - get some fishing boats out, scoop it all up - hey presto.
Sadly, the bulk of pastic in these gyres isatomised into so many tiny particulate pieces that the horrorifying reality is that we can do fuck all to upt the genie back in the bottle.
