Item Description
Four years after a deadly earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, debris are still washing ashore on US coast. Scientists predict tsunami debris will continue to arrive for the next three years or longer.
An estimated 1 million tons of tsunami debris are floating in the Pacific Ocean.
“Last year there was a medley of stuff,” said beach cleanup volunteer Russ Lewis. “Baskets started showing up, lids and lately a lot of culinary items.”
