Item Description
Many variables affect where Japan tsunami marine debris goes and when. Items sink, disperse, and break up along the way, and winds and ocean currents constantly change, making it very difficult to predict an exact date and location for the debris’ arrival on our shores.A NOAA modeling effort, the NOAA GNOME model, showed that some buoyant items first reached the Pacific Northwest coast during winter 2011-2012.
