Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. "What about the rest" is not a good enough reason to not help the ones here now.

I really like you. Politics of late have really dampened my faith in humanity, but you are genuinely a good person actively doing good... so thank you.

Is it possible to clean up flotsam without destroying flotsam communities? If pressed, and we had to choose, which is more important?

I googled chomp, but there seem to be a few versions of him... mind sharing a link to with one you guys are talking about? I'm curious now!

I don't know a lot about this stuff, I've only just heard of this from this ama... but, and this is just a layman's view after skimming the comments, it seems like it would be very hard to remove the habitat (flotsam) without disturbing/damaging the life it harbors. But larger than the engineering/scientific challenge would seem to be the cost. This doesn't strike me as a profitable venture, not unless you can get governments to foot the bill, even then, how many times can you iterate on a cash suck? I also worry about people having an "all or nothing" take on these sorts of things... like if we don't have a perfect solution than dont do anything at all kinda stuff. But just as concerning is companies turning a blind eye to the negative impacts and pretending there is no downside at, so... yeah.
