The north end of the mile 307 beach had jelly fish covering much of the sand. There were thousands of pieces of jelly fish. There were some whole jelly fish. I looked at the beach again on Sept. 15 and found that the ocean had removed about 75% of the jelly fish. The ocean will remove the remaining jelly fish in a few days.

Driftline Content
Animal casings (e.g., crab, shrimp molt). A large number of jelly fish were observed on the north end of mile 307. The amount of jelly fish decreased as I went to the south end of mile 307. A few of the jelly fish were whole. The majority were in small pieces. The amount must have been in the thousands. It was difficult to walk on the north end of the beach without stepping on the pieces of jelly fish. See photo.

The wrack line contained small (2-4") crab casings, clam shells and broken sand dollars. There was a small land slide near a house drain line - see picture. The sand level was low on the north end of mile 307 which leaves the rocks uncovered.

Other than the wheel and tire, the beach was very clean.
