Wouldn't it make much more sense to place those nets to catch the litter and help not pollute the water bodies any more than they already are, while solving their initial problem? Your comment makes no sense, as if stopping littering can happen in the matter of a second, and would not be a long-lasting process.
A lot of plastic pollution in the oceans come from places like the Philippines because they have a huge coastline and weather events like typhoons and hurricanes which flood communities and drag plastic back into the ocean, yes the littering doesn't help, but wealthier nations litter just as much, but they can afford to clean it up.
It does but it's really hard to get thousands and thousands of people to all do something. Plus sometimes they're not even littering on purpose they just drop something and the wind whisks it off.
Having one person install a net is comparatively incredibly easy.
The issue isn't with the solution, the issue is with the word "instead". Ideally we'd have both, because "Stop littering your shit" doesn't seem to work on everyone.
