NOTABLE WILDLIFE No seals, but signs of body dragging indicate habitat is still a resting place for seals. DEAD BIRDS STRANDED FISH & INVERTS DRIFTLINE Ocean-based debris Huge bumper buoy; possible tsunami debris NEW DEVELOPMENT MODIFICATIONS NATURAL CHANGES Landslides/major boulder falls Moderate landslide as often seen in area COMMENTS SUMMARY Great hike to very end of possible area to walk in due to extremely low tide. One seal skeleton with no way to identify cause of death. One big (BIG!) boat or ship bumper that I will report to the tsunami information folks. Moderate amount of round plastic buoys washed ashore by recent higher tides and strong west winds. No concerns of note. Great time to take photos of an area that is accessible only once or twice per year.
