5 REPORTS FOR MILE 241: coconew Jul 15, 2012 2:00 PM   Removed 3 bags of litter...No tsunami litter, mostly left over from the 4th and small pieces of styrofoam...green doggy poop bags that were full and abandoned...too many!!!   MORE  olivia Mar 8, 2012 4:00 PM   It was an unusually warm and sunny winter day, so many people were out taking advantage of chance to walk the beach without rain gear. The sand that was gone earlier in the winter seems to be coming back and there is quite a bit of litter all along the mile. There were many large logs brought in by the winter storms. One of them is about 50 feet long and has heavy steel pieces about 3 feet long bolted to it. There are 2 houses under construction and 1 extensive remodel/addition on the bluff.   MORE  johnandlennis Mar 18, 2007 4:30 PM   More dislodged clumps of mussel. More exposed rock perhaps from winter storms. No additional erosion visible for most of the mile except as noted last time. Still beach storm litter. Beach patrol vehicle and Coast Guard helicopter looking for airplane debris.    MORE  Kittywake Feb 19, 2007 11:00 AM   In one week period saw all of the dead beached birds listed. Plus, all in one area, 5 species. Plus the 4 gulls, 2 dead, 2 broken-winged, within 20 feet of each other. Neighbors wondered if people were causing this, with the gulls. I also volunteer with the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Astoria, so the Kittywake is recovering and will be released soon. The Western gull was put down.Really angry about the foam. Kids using pellet paint on beach access wall. Left mess.   MORE  newwade Jan 15, 2007 10:00 AM   Dead bird counts for University of Washington have been small numbers (3-4 birds) and mostly common murres and western grebes. Driftline Content: There are a lot of large logs and heavy wrack in some areas, as well as enough garbage that I will go back for a special garbage run....lots of plastic. Erosion: Mile 241 is cycling thru its beach erosion phase as nearly 1/3 mile at the point between Nelscott beach and Canyon Drive is bedrock or gravel bed....most I have seen in eight years. Bank erosion on the bluffs is also evident, and I would guess some houses don't have too much longer to live.   MORE
