Neahkahnie Beach north, Oswald West SP
Mile 301 is mostly rocks at the very beginning of the Cape Falcon Marine Reserve. We walk out onto these rocks to pick up all the marine debris and trash that wash up on them, as they're a "sticky" area of the coastline. - large plastic bin that was re-fashioned into a garbage bin of some sort, which we then used to haul out even more garbage - about 20 pounds of styrofoam, some whole floats and many parts of floats, coolers, etc. - a "homemade" float fashioned with a stick of bamboo and an old piece of styrofoam - the same marine oil metal bin that's been on the rocks since June 2024 - countless plastic water bottles, crab traps, plastic bags & other trash

Reporting this dispatch because today the Beach Ranger Brian Dodge was able to retrieve the veal crate that I first reported on February 6, 2024! There was a deceased harbor porpoise / dolphin near the tide line and Brian Dodge was able to retrieve that, too. This is also an area where large amounts of debris wash up and "sticks" on the rocks.

The tide was quite low so I walked up on the rocks at the northern most end of Neahkahnie Beach. This area is always full of large marine debris from fishing boats and whatever washes in.
