Item Description
Our primary objective of the expedition was to document to fate of materials washed into the North Pacific Ocean following the March 11, 2011 Japanese tsunami. We followed hypothetical maps of the debris field created by the International Pacific Research Center, and confirmed that 14 months later there is still tsunami-related debris in waters closer to Japan than North America, showing that wind and current distribute debris in the ocean widely.
