Large chemical and gas tanks are also occasionally seen washed ashore. In a few weeks, Kure Atoll will benefit from the help of a multi-agency marine debris cleanup of several atolls and islands in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. The clean up will focus on debris entangled on the reefs as opposed to debris found on shore. It is scheduled to begin on October 9 and will be the first time that the cooperative marine debris clean up will tackle this northernmost atoll during their month-long cruise through several of the islands.
