NOAA assesses post-tsunami debris in American Samoa

"On November 29, a NOAA team began working in American Samoa to assess and mitigate the impact that the marine debris has on the coral reef ecosystems around Tutuila Island. The team's primary mission was to complete a preliminary survey of the amount and effect of marine debris in the reef ecosystems to demonstrate the extent of future support necessary. This information will also help prioritize potential future removal operations."
