I just wanted to let you know that three blocks were found on South Beach, Tern Island. The email dated March 26th was sent as follows:
"Hello,
We found three of your yellow painted drifter blocks on South Beach, Tern Island, (within French Frigate Shoals, Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge). Unfortunately, I cannot give you a very precise date of when the blocks would have arrived. The field station was hit by a severe storm in early December and all personnel had to be evacuated. We normally patrol South Beach once per week for marine debris and invasive plants, but nobody was on the island for a period of 3 months this winter. We returned to the island on March 18th and found the blocks on the following day.
The numbers on the blocks are: xxx, xxx, and xx.
Let me know if I can answer any questions,
Wildlife Refuge Specialist

Awesome!
