Mile 340

South Jetty Columbia River, Fort Stevens SP

May 19, 2024

I set out to walk mile 340, the northernmost mile in the state of Oregon, because I was curious to document wrackline biodiversity where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean at "Clatsop Spit". Opalescent squid is the most common taxa of squid distributed on the Oregon Coast.

This mile report was conducted to document notable wildlife offshore observed from the South Jetty/Parking Lot C area looking down onto mile 340 from the jetty.
