Mile 24 Report
Cave Rock, Hunters Island, Hunters Cove
April 8, 2021
Extremely low tide.
Report Details
Extremely low tide. Saw two orange sea stars on different rocks/different pools. One looked sick: pale orange and shriveled. The other appeared healthier: plumper and brighter. Saw a lone goose at the mouth of Meyer's Creek, dipping its beak into the sand shorebird-style. I looked at it form a distance with binocluars. Definitely Canada Goose. Noteable becasue I observed a lone goose two days ago at Ophir State beach. Very windy. Did not observe any wildlife except gulls.
Conditions
Temperature: 62 F. Wind Velocity: Strong. Wind Direction: NW. Tide Level: 0.3 feet.
Human Activities
Saw two people on bicycles at tidepools, one person walking. One windsurfer. Few human and canine footprints. Most people were south of Meyers creek, towards the large photogenic rocks.
Actions & Comments
Trash washed up against the base of cliffs just south of Hunter's cove. Lots of microplastics. I removed larger items: a plastic bottle, chunks of plastic debris, tops of aluminum beer cans, and a large snarled net with rope.
