Report Details

Miles 141-147 did not have any die offs or concentrations of dead marine or invertebrate animals. Pictures will show the steeper bluff formed by erosion of sand to the pathway up and over the foredune. This may fill in later on with the changing seasons. However, I have not ever seen it so steep and impossible to climb up.

Conditions

Temperature: 50 F. Cloud Cover: Foggy. Wind Velocity: Moderate. Wind Direction: N. Tide Level: 6.6 feet.

Human Activities

Number of people: 5. Other Activities: driving vehicles. One large class B motor home camped along the jetty.

Vehicles

Cars/trucks parking: 1. Cars/trucks on beach, allowed: 3. ATVs/OHVs on beach, allowed: 2.

Notable Wildlife

A few seagulls. Windy conditions discouraged flying birds.

Beached Birds

Total dead birds: 1. 1 hawk

Dead Fish or Invertebrates

One dead washed ashore minnow

Driftline Content

Shells, Animal casings (e.g., crab, shrimp molt), Wood pieces, Ocean-based debris (from fishing boats, ship trash, etc.). Most debris is buried. We dug bottles, rope and plastic bags out of the sand

New Development

Bluff development.

Natural Changes

The path normally followed up and over the foredune is now too steep to climb up due to sand being pulled away forming a steep bluff.

Actions & Comments

Not really a problem. Maybe a seasonal change but it has never been so steep to get up and over the foredune to access the area along the river.
