Report Details

It was a warm, sunny day on Ocean Beach. There were lots of people and dogs out enjoying the beach. The sand drifts continue to be present all along the beach. There are no rock fields visible.  I noted many piles of kelp along the beach, bull, boa and palm. I also conducted a NOAA marine debris survey, the designated site is currently covered by sand so no debris was collected.
