Marine Debris Update<br />

The NOAA Marine Debris Program continues to request<br />

reports of at-sea and shoreline sightings of suspected Japan<br />

tsunami marine debris to DisasterDebris@noaa.gov. All<br />

reports are catalogued <strong>by</strong> Marine Debris Program staff, with<br />

significant sightings being shared with the proper response<br />

agency. During September <strong>2012</strong>, the Marine Debris Program<br />

received 17 total reports, seven of which were reports of items<br />

floating at sea.<br />

A floating dock that was spotted <strong>by</strong> some fishermen off the coast of Molokai, hawaii.<br />
