April 10, 2015 — An Oregon parks official says a roughly 25-foot-long chunk of fiberglass boat spotted drifting off the central Oregon coast is believed to be more debris from the deadly 2011 Japanese tsunami.
Chris Havel of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department said the debris was spotted Thursday morning and by evening was a few miles offshore.
Havel says biologists inspected the object and consulted with the state Fish and Wildlife Department, deciding that the attached organisms pose little threat to the Oregon coast ecosystem.
