Item Description
Debris from the Japanese tsunami has apparently reached Kodiak, with several large oyster farm floats discovered by local beachcombers and fishermen Dave Kubiak and Alexus Kwatchka, according to a story by KMXT radio. Washington-based oceanographer Curtis Ebbesmeyer, an expert in tracking ocean flotsam, sent photographs of the floats to the national media in Japan and was told they were authentic. “They were washed out in the tsunami from oyster-grower farms,” Ebbesmyer told KMXT.
