Apparatus, systems and methods for collecting debris from a body of water onto a waterborne vessel include at least one inflow regulator (IFR) disposed at least partially in a cargo compartment of the vessel proximate to at least one intake opening at the front end of the vessel. Each IFR is configured so that the front end thereof floats at or near the surface of liquid contained in the cargo compartment to limit the inflow into the cargo compartment to debris/water which flows over the IFR and is disposed at or near the surface of the body of water.
