Report Details
Dave Lacey and Pete Stauffer completed this mile, and said there was hardly any trash on the walk. There was nothing to note of special importance, but both suggested updating the CoastWatch forms, and I agree as well.Another suggestion for our mile was to begin GPS marking the erosion spots and photo points for better observations and connectivity to future data collection.

It is AMAZING the amount of sand that has been removed (naturally) by scouring.
