Vehicles
Dead Fish or Invertebrates
Unusual concentration. I forgot how to tell if a crab is dead or molting. I seemed to see eyeballs. See pix. But I realize I could be mistaken.
Driftline Content
Seaweeds and seagrass, Wood pieces. Lots of crab shells and legs.
New Development
Surprised to find the path through the driftwood still present, after a few high surfs of late.

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.
