Report Details
Stunning sunny day on Mile 220 with no wind - just one of those perfect OR coast days! Finding the brown pelican (quite decomposed) was sad, especially after finding three in similar condition on Beverly Beach North the day before...that's a lot of brown pelicans for less than two miles of beach!The entire beach was surprisingly trash free, probably the lowest trash day in the past few years. I did find 3 large pieces of debris on my concurrent COASST survey. The falling bluffs continue with the black plastic pipes protruding from the bluff. Some large boulder falls can be seen in the photos.

A sad day for Mile 220, although the weather was amazing it was super hard and sad to see the tar globs in the mid-section of my mile.
