Experts estimate more than 1.5 million tonnes of tsunami debris is drifting across the Pacific Ocean toward Canada's West Coast. So far we've mostly seen things like bottles, buoys and other small items have washed ashore, but this may very well be just the beginning. Displaced items could be washing up on our shores for years to come.

Do you live near Canada's west coast? Have you visited recently or plan to go there soon? We want to hear your stories and see your pictures of tsunami debris. [Please only take photos of debris that you find on shore; do not put yourself in any danger to obtain photos or videos; taking any photos will be at your own risk.]
