An unusual amount of driftline debris probably due to recent August storm. A 10ft plus log that was covered with goose neck barnacles was above the water line. The barnacles were opening as if searching for food. Five oyster catchers were noted all clustered together. Erosion continues to be evident on the bluffs. Little evidence of beach litter, but some fishing nets and floats were found as well as other plastic debris washed ashore.
