As per reports, a dock of debris has been spotted near the coast of Washington state. The dock is said to be one of the things that was washed up due to Japan's tsunami in 2011.
It was on December 14 when fishermen informed about the dock near the Grays Harbor. They said that the large object was similar to be a dock, but authorities concerned said that no information about the supposedly dock has been found since that day.
Japan's government was of the view that as much as 5 million tons of debris was swept into Pacific Ocean. Approximately 70% of the debris was said to have sank at the time of incident. But, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said that they kept on getting regular updates of debris.
According to them, they have received more than 1, 400 debris reports and 17 of them have been confirmed to be complete debris. Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber said that they have decided to come up with a plan, which will tackle with the Japanese tsunami debris.
"The plan would make tsunami debris cleanup more effective by coordinating and directing all debris removal in Washington state and across the West Coast", said experts.
