Report Details

Nice warm day out at Rocky Point/Retz Creek! We were greeted by a couple of Killdeer who were present, active, a little skittish, and fun to observe! On our way down the beach, one of our volunteers, Janet London, found a stranded "dock" looking structure. Hard to say what it was, but it had obviously been in the water a long time and contains species of "barnacles" and "mussels" (if our assumptions are correct) that appear to be non-native. We took samples and have them frozen at the POORT offices in Port Orford. We contacted the proper authorities upon our return. Japanese Tsunami Marine debris? Stay tuned and we will find out!

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