Mile 215 Report

December 9, 2024
I did not walk the entire length of my adopted mile, but had an enjoyable hour-long outing on my beach, which is from Davis Park to the north jetty in Newport.
Report Details
I did not walk the entire length of my adopted mile, but had an enjoyable hour-long outing on my beach, which is from Davis Park to the north jetty in Newport. There were thousands of rose petals washed up on the beach, and remnants of floral bouquets. All natural material, but quite odd, as if there had been a ceremony at sea at which flowers had been tossed overboard. There were also hundreds of marine animal parts washed up that I could not identify. I'm sure my fellow coastwatchers will enlighten me. The dead bird (pictured) was not identifiable because it was too far gone. (From CoastWatch Programs Manager: These are pyrosomes!)

One of the dead birds was a gull, am unsure what the other two were.

The beach was very clean, I only found a single old toothbrush.
