Report Details
There was not much human or animal activity on this stretch on this blustery morning. However, that did not stop an ATV operator coming south from Whiskey Run access. This person went several yards beyond the MOTOR VEHICLES PROHIBITED sign, which I'm sure he/she "didn't see."Otherwise, there are many logs and big chunks of wood at the base of the dunes, if not right up in the dunes, along this stretch.Some litter, ocean-borne and plastic or Styrofoam for the most part. Kelp/algae in the driftline. Low human impact (1)-rockhunting.
Human Activities
Number of people: 1. As of 7:30 a.m., there was a set of fresh ATV tracks coming from Whiskey Run and extending south by several yards of the MOTOR VEHICLES PROHIBITED sign. The operator went up between logs and woodpiles in several places.
Vehicles
Cars/trucks parking: 1. ATVs/OHVs on beach, prohibited: 1.
Driftline Content
Seaweeds and seagrass, Ocean-based debris (from fishing boats, ship trash, etc.), Styrofoam.

No one else was out on this calm morning after two days of extremely high surf--at least when we started north.
