Report Details

A calm and quiet morning on Seaside beach, right before a large volleyball tournament which will bring hundreds to the beach. Surprisingly little trash; one towel, one plastic bag, and one beer bottle. Came across one live sand dollar, a small live razor clam, and one gooseberry (no other jelly remains). Only saw Western gulls; most were resting higher up on the beach, a couple were working the shoreline. Towards the end of the mile I came across a relatively large log covered in pelagic gooseneck barnacles.
