Report Details

During this survey, I walked the length of Quarry Cove and Cobble Beach within Yaquina Head. It was raining heavily and the tide was exceptionally high. There were a high number of jellyfish washing up on Cobble Beach, but this did not appear to be abnormal due to the heavy wave action of the high tide.
