Report Details

Lot's of people enjoying a beautiful day at the beach, but disappointed in the amount of "stuff" found on this late afternoon of Labor Day. Too many people still don't get the message. It's not much consolation, but at least it wasn't tsunami generated bottles and styrofoam....just good old made in America garbage. A cool thing today was observing an armada (ie many thousands) of dragonflys making their way South on the last stage of their life cycle. Meanwhile, the ongoing flood of crab molts continues to keep the seagulls and crows fat & happy.
