While the world's attention is focused on Japan's Fukushima nuclear reactors, there is increasing concern over a massive debris field that is floating toward the U.S. West Coast.

After the tsunami and 9.0 earthquake that hit Japan in March, enormous chunks of entire towns were washed away and are now being found floating in open waters.
LOVE the NP GYRE RULES - makes me want to go THRIFT SHOPPING IN PACIFIC - mmmm love my tuna - and I would imagine that tuna never eat plastic in the GYRE right? All seafood from the oceans never eat plastic right? Actually - I can't imagine a bigger cesspool than the Oceans to swim in and if I was a dolphin - I would beach myself. Cause they are way smarter and happier than us miserable wanting humans - all the time to consume consume consume - and we don't care where the end product goes!

Polluting our wAter and food resources is our fault. Only this modern society is so clueless and immerse in "carpe diem" that ignore the concecuences of the future. We should never build houses around the oceans. We should go back to the old native ways. That's how they've been preserving ann nurturing the earth. For this new selfish generation of polluting people

If the reports about nuclear fuel being blown from the fukushima plant are true (and I'm very skeptical that ever happened) its possible some of that nuclear fuel fell into the ocean and may eventually wash up on Pacific Islands or the west coasts of the Americas if any of it got into the ocean. Its probably very unlikely, but you don't want uranium oxide washing up on your beach. They wont be able to rule out that possibility unless they can account for all the fuel from the spent fuel pools.

OK so any radioactive waste on the debris will be diluted by then and the Devil's Triangle (known to everyone else as the Bermuda Triangle), is in an entirely different part of the planet. Now that we got the common sense out of the way, I'm hoping that wood gets waterlogged and sinks.

Instead of killing whales Japan should do there best to clean it up..... I live on the Ca coast and am not looking forward to the onslaught of their stuff. It will damage wildlife. And especially when the radioactive material kills the sea and spreads....
