   1. The OR&R Marine Debris Program contacted the Alaska Scientific Support Coordinator for assistance in identifying coordinating partners to respond to a release of fish food bags (empty/used) from a shipping container on a barge. A barge transporting shipping containers of waste lost a container full of plastic bags near the southern tip of Admiralty Island in Southeast Alaska and thousands of bags were released. Bags have been found in Funter Bay on the northwest side of Admiralty Island.
