Dead Fish or Invertebrates

Unusual concentration. I forgot how to tell if a crab is dead or molting. I seemed to see eyeballs. See pix. But I realize I could be mistaken.

Mile 116

Seven Devils cliffs, Cape Arago South Cove

March 16, 2024

There was a beach hazard statement issued and I wanted to see what impact that would have as we were experiencing the first fine weather after so many weeks of cold rain. I was charmed by a family of six playing on the beach, the children even playing in the water.
