    Abstract: A floating debris pickup system that includes watercraft with a forward extending landing door located at the bow that can be selectively lowered or raised by the operator. Attached to or near the upper edge of the landing door is a rigid net frame. A net is attached to the net frame. During use, the landing door is partially lowered which positions the net frame and net into the water. The watercraft then trolls in the water to pickup floating debris in the net. The net frame includes at least two upper extending posts configured to selectively engage receivers attached or formed on the upper edge of the landing door. The receivers and posts are oriented so that when the posts are attached to the receivers, the net frame is aligned perpendicular to the landing door. The watercraft includes a davit system that allows the net fame to be attached and removed from the landing door and raises the net filled with debris over trash cans located in the hull.
