There was more styrofoam than usual. Two pieces were the size of a fifty-five gallon container and there were some other medium-sized pieces and lots of little pieces. There were a lot of plastic bottles. I picked up 12 and there were more that I did not get to. Some of the bottles may be from Japan.

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.
