[Geology2] Message to tsunami_warning group not approved



So why would this message not be approved given it is about tsunamis and that group is about dead and needs all the viable content it can get? Am I the only one whom finds that quite curious?

Subject: Update On the Debris From the Japan Tsunami
*Update On the Debris From the Japan Tsunami*

By Mark Jackson

The devastating 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami that struck Japan on
March 11, 2011, costing over 16,000 lives and injuring over 6,000 people,
continues to leave its mark even today. Debris that was washed away into
the Pacific Ocean has been gradually drifting away from Japan and is
showing up on the western shores and in the coastal waters of North America
– including here in California. The Japanese government estimates that the
tsunami swept about 5 million tons of debris into the ocean. Of that,
approximately 70 percent sank off shore, leaving 1.5 million tons floating.
The debris is also no longer in mass as one large debris patch; rather, it
is scattered about the North Pacific. Items that are con-firmed to be from
the Japan tsunami have been as small as a soccer ball, or as large as a
floating pier, or even a vessel. You might wonder if the debris is
radioactive. Experts believe it is "highly unlikely" that any of the debris
is radioactive.
NOAA's Marine Debris Program plays a crucial role in tracking, identifying,
and reporting marine debris that is a result of the Japan tsunami. NOAA is
working with state and local partners, along with other federal agencies to
ultimately reduce the impacts to our natural resources and coastal
communities. Using at-sea observation data from aircraft, satellite, and
vessels, NOAA continues to collect and model the debris movement.
You can actually help NOAA in its effort. Even though in some cases it's
extremely difficult to identify the marine debris as coming from the
tsunami since debris washes up on the Pacific Coast all the time, in other
cases it can be quite obvious. In cases where there is clear identification
– such as an item with Japanese writing – it's very important that it be
reported to NOAA. If any debris is sighted or found, and most importantly
tsunami debris, you can send an email to DisasterDebris@noaa.gov, with as
much infor-mation as possible (such as location, date and time found, any
relevant descriptions) provided in the email. Or, you can download and use
a Marine Debris Tracker app devel-oped by NOAA in cooperation with the
Southeast Atlantic Marine Debris Initiative. You can either go to
http://www.marinedebris.engr.uga.edu/, or find the app in the iTunes App
store or Google Play.
