NBCRightNow.com - Oregon Fish and Wildlife biologists are inspecting a 30-foot boat that washed up on Gleneden Beach south of Lincoln City Tuesday.

They say it appears to be tsunami debris from Japan.

The boat is covered with marine life but the organisms do not appear to be a hazardous material risk and are not associated with invasive species.
