Beach was extremely clean from the recent cleanup weekend.
Report Details
Beach was extremely clean from the recent cleanup weekend. Very few people on the beach for such a lovely day. I soon realized that it may have something to do with the salps (http://www.katu.com/outdoors/news/103970573.html). These things are covering the beach right now from the driftline right down to the surf. Too numerous to avoid stepping on them in that zone -- almost like a carpet!

A beautiful August afternoon. Neahkahnie Creek and the drainage at the south end were lightly flowing with small streams.

A sunny Saturday morning in Manzanita! The upside down tree that is at 45. The strangest thing I found were the two adult common murres - one with a string tied to its wing.

Most notable is the change in the bluffs.
