Various Salmon Carcasses along the sandy shores, indicating the eagle has been feeding well.

5 Salmon carcasses total.
Algae specimen that has encapsulated some of the rock beneath the Hwy 17 Bridge cannot be identified. Uncertain whether the brown clotty sludge is algae or another species. To be further investigated at this site next visit and different seasonal intervals.
Bridge maintenance requires additional aggregate to prevent further erosion cause by the bridge drain system. Extreme weather events or spring runoff can catalyze this erosion process.
Did conduct secchi measurement nor measure water depth.
