Man-made Modifications

Stream modification, New riprap or shoreline protection structures. Stream modification: Using this because of the obvious water/drainage caused by the Starfish Motel expansion. Small cat sitting on the edge of the bank and significant landslide down to the beach. Photos included. New shoreline protection: Large area newly covered with woven material, photos included, about 300 yards north of 15th Street auto access in Lincoln City. Additional disturbance at top of bank, closer to motel/condo, looks like preparation for more cloth to be dropped down the bank.

Landslides/major boulder falls. See above, small landslide area at north end of Starfish Motel development.

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.
