Wow, today was a reminder that people love the beach. It was surprising so many people were in town, given the covid-19 increases. The humans overwhelmed the space, I don't have much comment for this...

A beautiful day on the beach, with little human activity on the beach, around Haystack Rock and Ecola Creek. Limited beach activity is due to Covid-19 social distancing and the fact that Cannon...

A beautiful day on the coast; sunny, partly cloudy. Survery was done near low tide. There were a number of sand bars and tide pools that had formed. Ecola creek output, where it connects to the...

A beautiful day on the beach. The beach, tide line were relatively clean. The day was most noteworthy for the lack of human activity, corona virus precaution related.

I began at the far north (Chapman Beach). Almost entirely deserted (photo attached). Like a sand-packed moonscape. Understandable why some people like to come here to get away from it all, at...

It was a gorgeous day on the beach. Probably a record day for people because of the warm temperatures.
March 20, 2017 - cheeseguy
It was a cloudy day(a few rain drops) with moderate NE Wind. People count was up likely because of some visitors being on Spring Break. Otherwise would not have had so many on a Monday in March....

The day was a bright sunny day. Beach was narrow due to King tide. I walked in the hour prior to high of 10.6. Lots of kelp strands and huge bundles. Fair amount of rope both alone and in kelp...

The dead birds were all found in approximately the southern 3/8 of the mile. This is consistent with the fact that more dead birds are found closer to Haystack Rock in other surveys. No change seen...

Submission from Diane and Rex Amos. Diane and Rex Amos photographed these at 6:50 a.m. just north of Margo Visher’s near the dunes. There were about 8 of them. Learned from Joe Liebezeit, Avian...

Considerable amount of manmade debris in the driftline along with dozens of molted crabs.

Visited mile just as the king tide was receding. The tide came up pretty high but did not reach the small sea wall or the bluffs. The visible tide line was littered with seagrass and a lot of razor...
