Vehicles
Driftline Content
Small rocks, Shells, Animal casings (e.g., crab, shrimp molt). No really noticable drift line
New Development
Bluff development. A new building going up just west of Battle Rock seems to have pushed some brush and rock down towards the shore. One mad seems to have actually reached the high water line. See photos.
Actions & Comments
I assume that because the uphill disturbances are really visible from the busiest area of town that officials are aware and approve.

Not much trash and minimal people activity, especially given what a beautiful day it was.

During a brief respite from rain, I found the Port busy withdrawing a boat from the harbor.
