Mile 322 - Seaside Cove - May 14, 2022 | Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition

Report Details

There was a fair amount of trash including fishing line, rope, food trash, plastic, and empty small liquor bottles. These were located both on the rocks and the sand. There was remnants of a fire that was too close to big pieces of driftwood. There were lots of surfers and people standing around. There were a few different kinds of shorebirds including those listed in this report. Overall, there was no big concerns other than the trash. I picked up some fishing line and rope and disposed of it.

Seaside Cove

The tide was high and there was almost nothing in the tide line /no seaweed or shells or rocks/. There were lots of dead by-the-wind-sailors in the tide line and further on the beach.
