Report Details
We compared last years photos of the new beach grass clumps that had been planted at the base of the cliff area about half way down our mile. The beach grass is filling in nicely. Major Bluff Erosion: Again, we compared our photos with today's walk and did not see any new erosion along the cliffs/bluffs. The beach itself had a very clean look. A few old logs up high near the bluffs.

It has been a very hard year for Lion's Mane jellies with large numbers of whole or almost whole jellies and pieces, large and small at the tide line. Enjoyed meeting a praying mantis and, hopefully assisting in its recovery from the tide.
