Debris Mission Specialist Jeff Brooks, left, and Quality Assurance Specialist Brain Muse, both from Louisville District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, observe ongoing marine debris operations at the Seaplane marine debris site in Christiansted, #USVI Jan. 15. Hurricanes Irma and Maria left more than 1 million cubic yards of debris in the U.S. Virgin Islands, including an estimated 400 marine vessels. The damaged or destroyed vessels are recovered by the U.S. Coast Guard and turned over to the Virgin Islands Department of Planning and Natural Resources for further processing. Once DPNR has completed their processing, the vessels are classified as marine debris and released to the Corps for reduction and later disposal off island.
