Alaska Senator wants more federal funds pledged to Japanese Tsunami debris clean up along the U.S. West Coast
Agate Beach, August 2, 2012

And so he wants Uncle Sam to do a 3-to-1 match of $15,000,000 to reflect what’s is truly needed to cope with what is expected to be much more of the debris coming ashore this winter.
