Small rocks, Shells, Animal casings (e.g., crab, shrimp molt). No really noticable drift line

New Development

Bluff development. A new building going up just west of Battle Rock seems to have pushed some brush and rock down towards the shore. One mad seems to have actually reached the high water line. See photos.

Actions & Comments

I assume that because the uphill disturbances are really visible from the busiest area of town that officials are aware and approve.

Report Images

I did not notice anything of about this area before but it looks to me like maybe the builders are trying to put in a lawn and have pushed brush and soil down towards the beach
