| Notes | On March 11, 2011, the great Tōhoku earthquake shook Japan. The subsequent tsunami swept approximately 5 million tons of debris into the Pacific Ocean, some of which made its way across the Pacific and washed up on the North American West Coast. The debris carried hundreds of species, a surprising number of which survived the trip. In order to understand the potential for biological invasions, it was necessary to document these species. This report describes sampling and genetic sequencing of marine algae found on 42 items that washed up between June, 2012 and July, 2016. It is in three parts. Part 1 gives an overview of the project and describes the red algae, Part 2 covers the brown algae and Part 3 gives the green algae and cyanobacteria. Beautifully illustrated with photographs, microphotographs and drawings. |
