Title: Aquatic debris removing system

Abstract: An improved mobile scooping and loading machine used to remove floating debris from waterways regardless of the depth of the water consisting of a boom-operated scoop and its interaction with an air jet propelling mechanism used first to collect the debris to be removed, second to accumulate any floating hydrocabon slicks onto the surface of the debris to be removed and, third to counterbalance the weight of the load to be transported to the disposal sight by use of a horizontal runner placed behind the air jet propelling mechanism.
