Why not use the ocean as the large vat?

Imagine how much algae the ocean generates over the entirety of the worlds water. Water covers 70% of the earths surface and its probably a very good thing. As we start to build up the plastic heaps floating in the gyres we will start to experience some serious problems from snuffing out all that algae.

I feel like the planet will always be fine. Humans and many other creatures might not be so lucky. But then evolution will just take its course again, more than likely some organisms will survive climate change and thrive/evolve.
