Current Beach Conditions

I have not posted in a few days. I have had a cold so I have not been able to hunt either. We did have some weather that is always good for detecting. The winds have been from the North Northeast for the past few days and the waves were in the six to seven foot range. This will usually wash treasures onto the beaches but it has been washing other things onto the beach.

On my drive down the beach, I started to notice quite a few Portuguese Man o War jellyfish. This can be common with strong winds. The strong winds seem to wash them ashore but there were other things washed up as well. I saw several dead puffer fish, then a shark’s head and quite a few dead birds. I have never seen this many before. Then I spot a big dead sea turtle. Something is not right. The next thing was kind of a shock not one but three dead bottle nose dolphin washed ashore. I have only ever seen one dead dolphin in my entire life and now three in one spot over the past few days. Hopefully this does not get worse!
