Lane County Quarter Summary Reports |   Polished rock presents a challenge to re-colonize. Photo by Turnstone Mile 187, 4/18/2010.
The Second Quarter 2010 for Lane County CoastWatchers started out with news of a major blow from the west, and many treasures from the North Pacific Gyre arrived. Rumor has it that the California Sea Lions have returned to the docks of San Francisco. There is significant loss of sand due to erosion of the foredunes on the southern coast and visible retreat of sandstone bluffs along the northern coast. European beach grass is eroding and in the drift line. Some beaches have been scoured to bedrock and cobble. Logs have been thrown high up into the dunes and old tree roots have been uncovered in the sand.

The First Quarter 2010 report for Lane County CoastWatch is all about winter on the Oregon Coast. The California sea lions are gone. There is significant loss of sand due to erosion of the foredunes on the southern coast and visible retreat of sandstone bluffs along the northern coast. European beach grass is eroding and in the drift line. Some beaches have been scoured to bedrock and cobble. Logs have been thrown high up into the dunes and old tree roots have been uncovered in the sand. To the good, there were few dead birds and no dead sea lions reported.
