This survey is the day after a big wind storm in the 29th. Dungeness widths are estimated because 1 carapace is bigger than the calipers and others are weather-beaten. This survey was done starting at the derelict conveyor and going south. Previous survey by me have been north of the conveyor. The beaches are very different. Much more seaweed here.
