Item Description
As a result of the March 2011 tsunami that struck Japan, a large amount of debris washed into Japan’s waters. Experts predict that a portion of that debris will reach U.S. shores over the next several years. Some of it may contain invasive species that could pose a serious threat to Oregon’s marine environment and native species through competition, crowding and predation.
