Mile 313 - Tolovana Park north, Haystack Rock - August 1, 2013

Report Details

we are monitoring the Ecola and Tolovana Outfalls.while we have numbers from the city of Cannon Beach and the State for the Ecola Outfall, the city has not responded to our request to share their test results for the Tolovana Outfall. Both sites continue to be popular play sites for children. the recent numbers for Ecola were; 8/5- 410, 6/7-124, 8/13-156, 8/19 260.Rebecca Hillwig from the State included a warning on frequently elevated numbers of Tolovana Outfall area in her most recent report. we would like to see some testing done at those sites. while the signs seem to deter some people, we don't think of this as a permanent solution,unless tests show there is little that can be done to trace the source.

Overall, Haystack Rock is a treasure trove of marine biological diversity, from invertebrates and pelagic birds to marine mammals, with an active education program for curious beach visitors. The best tidepool invertebrate diversity today was observed at the south end of Haystack Rock in the area often referred to as "The Needles. As I was tidepooling, I heard multiple beach visitors asking about sea slugs and how to locate nudibranchs.
