What looks like a rusty spray can, embellished with Japanese writing, is washed up on the shores of Long Beach, Canada. One to five percent of the 0.9 - 1.8 million tonnes of debris still floating in the ocean could reach Hawaii, Alaska, Oregon and Washington and British Columbia, according to University of Hawaii senior researcher and ocean current expert Nikolai Maximenko.
