if I was the U.S. man I would let him keep it for forensic study. LOL

The negative side from the debris is the garbage that will be comsumed by fish. Fish will eat & swallow anything.

examined by experts

I wonder if they have a 4 year degree in examining rogue floats.

Living in the US, I wonder what must have gone through Tomoko's mind to do this job?

@deepstar6

I do believe the consulate official may have been thinking in terms of goodwill. If it's Japan's debris, the Japanese embassy there can help with cleanup operations.

@Elvensilvan

I am sure it is goodwill and for cleanup operations. I can't imagine what must have gone through her mind while documenting the debris especially when it reached US shores the way it reached post 3/11. Something that may belong to her country and reaching this way...just can't imagine. Tomoko might be a strong woman.

Maybe, just follow the TEPCO example from a Tokyo court case last year, when their lawyers stated in a case, involving a compensation claim from a private golf course, that once the radiation leaves the Fukushima NPP, it no longer belongs to TEPCO.
