Report Details

I took more photos of underside & tail of Pacific Ray (tentative ID) then I uploaded.   Will send to anyone who can confirm ID if more anatomical information is needed to confirm ID.

Conditions

Temperature: 50 F. Cloud Cover: Foggy.

Concerns

Apparent violations: none.

Actions & Comments

Returned to mile 217 to see if tentatively ID'd Pacific Ray was still on beach.   It was, but either the high tide or humans had flipped it over as well as circling it w/a seawhip, putting crab molt shells inside the loop of the seawhip, etc.   Took photos of the PR right side up, flipped it over to take photo of teeth.    Will try to upload photos but not sure if I compressed them as is apparently desired.
