Report Details

No one on the beach this morning...brutal weather today with 20-30 mph wind,sideways rain, and blowing sand. Any debris is now well concealed and very few shells are visible. Large piles of bull kelp that were driven ashore a month ago are now decomposing and buried by sand. Batches of smaller kelp litter the beach as the blowing sand gradually covers them as well. Lots of seagulls huddling together for protection from the elements. The shoreline revetment permit that was under condiseration by Oregon Parks and Recreation Department has been approved, however no application for building has been made at this time.
