There are 3 ways to collect debris
1. Allow it to flow near your raft and pick it up by hand
2. Use the hook given to you at the start of the game. Doing so reduces it's durability, however it doesn't require many resources to craft another one
3. Finding an abandoned raft. Doing so can be risky, and may result in either taking damage from the shark, or losing your raft as the one you're on continues to sink
At the end of the day, my raft only contained a sail, which was useful for gather more materials, as I could rely less on my hook
There are 4 types of debris I have come across:
Planks are a tool you need to craft just about everything in the game, with the only exception being the cup that I have found so far. They are also used as fuel for the water purifier and grill. They're essential, but the game is forgiving, because they are plentiful
Leaves are needed to make rope, along with the water purifier. This means you need them for fishing rods, hooks, spears, sails, and most of the things you craft. While expanding your raft itself does not require rope, rope is needed to create the hammer, which means you want as many leaves as possible. Thankfully, leaves are plentiful in quantity, and you can find them in stacks of either 1 or 3.
Plastic isn't essential for much, beyond expanding your raft. You do need them to make the cup, as well as the purifier, however it's not needed beyond that point, aside for some repairs when sharks eat your ship.
Barrels aren't needed for anything, but I recommend you find as many as possible. Barrels can contain food, such as beets and potatoes, along with materials you can't find anywhere else on the ocean surface, such as scrap, nails, actual rope (which is nice, as 1 rope takes 2 leaves), and much more. If you see a barrel, go for it.
However, always be sure to look out for sharks
Sharks will every now and then come and nibble away at your raft. I had one destroy a quarter of mine in the first 5 minutes of playing.
