NOAA's Marine Debris Blog | Keepin' the Sea Free of Debris! | Page 2 By: Nancy Wallace, Marine Debris Program Director Last month, six high school students from California visited Rikuzentakata, a city in Japan’s Iwate Prefecture that was nearly destroyed three years ago today by a massive earthquake and tsunami. On the agenda was a visit to Takata High School and its 20-foot boat, now home again after several years and a long voyage across the Pacific Ocean. The boat, which Takata High School used for marine science lessons, washed away during the tsunami and landed in Crescent City, California in April 2013. This tremendous story – a bright spot in an on-going human tragedy – is about friendship, cooperation, and bonds across an enormous ocean. Where are we now? On these major commemorative days, we’re often asked the big questions. Debris from the tsunami is still washing ashore in the United States, but the amount is less than what we saw in previous years. As to whether or not this is what we expected, it’s safe to say yes – for the most part.
