NOTABLE WILDLIFE DEAD BIRDS STRANDED FISH & INVERTS DRIFTLINE NEW DEVELOPMENT MODIFICATIONS NATURAL CHANGES COMMENTS SUMMARY Mile 189 has not had active reporting done since 2009. This was our first visit and it was high tide. The beach was mostly covered with river rock and driftwood with very little sand. There were no signs of fresh erosion of the banks in the Neptune Park area. There were about 6-8 people in the picnic areas and 3 people plus a dog on the beach. No one was on the rocks or near the tidepools because the water was too high. There were no birds or sea mammals observed. The steps and path down to the beach area are both pretty precarious.
