Report Details
On this warm day many people were enjoying the beach with their dogs. There was an absence of kelp bundles which we would have expected after our stormy weather. Sawdust showed where several beach logs had been cut for firewood. The most notable thing were stones, weighing a pound or less, dotting the entire mile like raisins on cinnamon dough. On our return walk we picked up about 25 pounds of debris, mostly plastic.
