Gallery: Japan tsunami debris

A washed up boat and destroyed house lie on the roof of a building in the tsunami-damaged town of Yamada, in Iwate prefecture, on March 25, 2011. Two weeks after a giant quake struck and sent a massive tsunami crashing into the Pacific coast, the death toll from Japan's worst post-war disaster topped 10,000 and there was scant hope for 17,500 others still missing.

The Japanese government will reportedly help pay for the disposal of tsunami debris washing up on Canadian and U.S. shores. 

As much as five million tonnes of debris were swept into the ocean when a massive earthquake and resulting tsunami struck Japan in March 2011.
