| Simulation System: Courtisy of NOAA |
The simulation results were prepeared by Miyakojima Kids Net |

This animation is our calculation using NOAA’s OSCURS program. Each course begins at the three major prefectures and the Fukushima nuclear power plant hit by the tsunami on Mar. 11, 2011.
The highlighted area shows the first batch of dense area of Japan tsunami debris as of Mayl 12, 2013, 793 days after the tsunami occurred.

This map and animation gives rough calculations based on the actual tidal current movement to know the whrerabouts of dense areas of Japan Tsunami related marine debris.
The size and area of diffusion (yellow glow) may differ from actual diffusion due to the impact of other metorological conditions. |

What we are currently working on?: |
While we will continue with our reseach on the arrival survey of Asian originated marine debris, we are also closely following Japan tsunami related debris. We will collect statistical data to see which types of tsunami related debris will arrive first to the Pacific Northwest.
We are currently collecting information and preparing to recieve instructions from scientific research organizations and government related research centers in order to establish a safe method for handling the tsunami debris, because tsunami related debris have the possibility of radioactive contamination from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.(*6)
We will keep close contact with NOAA and the EPA to find latest developments about cleanup methods and available procedures on how volunteers can become involved. We will also introduce any new progress we make on this website.
