Mile 116 - Seven Devils cliffs, Cape Arago South Cove - February 17, 2019

Report Details

A very nice day. Went to try and get better photos of the Harlequin group I saw last time, but if they were there, they were out of range for photos. My battery ran dead fairly soon anyway. I observed a strange tidepool creature, but had no camera! This report should be taken with the last one I did as the last one I covered the Northern portion of my mile and this time I covered more to the South. I did find a lot more garbage on the Southern edge, but also found a nice number of sea stars. Good to see them coming back.

Seven Devils cliffs, Cape Arago South Cove

Two separate study groups were present, one measuring Gumboot Chitons and the surrounding algae and one studying sea urchins, ones living in pits versus ones not. I saw a couple families bringing their small children to South Cove, and a flock of pelicans.

There was a beach hazard statement issued and I wanted to see what impact that would have as we were experiencing the first fine weather after so many weeks of cold rain. I was charmed by a family of six playing on the beach, the children even playing in the water.
