Report Details

The beach was mostly free of debris and garbage. Very few people and dogs. There were 10 dead birds at mile 148.5 on the way to 147. Mile 147 had the most garbage due to its closeness to the levee. However, I was impressed by the lack of garbage. The area just east of the jetty along a nice sandy beach protected by a rock breakwater along the Umpqua has lots of garbage. Someone with an ORV could clean it in a short period of time. Miles 151-147 were very clean with no abnormal signs of erosion or man made changes. Beach vehicles were present but were very courteous.
