Mile 121 - Gregory Point, Lighthouse Beach, Mussel Reef - September 19, 2013

Report Details

Good infill on beach. Was excited about so little trash at first until I came upon two fire sites that were filled with discarded bottles and cans. Even a pizza box. Sometimes we humans are very disappointing. The house I keep mentioning as being ever closer to the edge has more visible landscape plastic flapping around. It appears someone put a fence up on land side. My perception is that this is not where the real danger is. Kelp/algae and wood pieces in the driftline. Five people on the beach, two were walking and woman and two young children were enjoying tidepooling.
