Flotsam and Jetsam
Description:
Flotsam and jetsam refer to two different types of debris often found in bodies of water like oceans, lakes, or rivers. Flotsam refers to the wreckage or remains of a ship or its cargo that is floating on the water's surface. Jetsam, on the other hand, refers to items deliberately thrown overboard from a ship, intentionally discarded or jettisoned. These terms are commonly used to describe various discarded objects or unwanted items.
