Actual answer: Mr Trash Wheel runs so slowly that fish, ducks and crabs can move out of the way.

This doesn't prevent stuff like plankton from being "cleaned" too, and I feel that would cause ecosystem issues

More than the huge amount of trash floating there? I feel this is missing the forest for the trees

Yes, it could be. Plankton are crucial for many marine ecosystems. Without them, some ecosystems would collapse

It's just something that needs to be studied and accounted for
