I’ve read conflicting warnings about danger to dogs that may eat the #VelellaVelella that are being stranded on the beaches of the #OregonCoast. Here’s a good quote from a marine biologist:

According to Jim Burke of the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, they aren’t dangerous.

“If your dog eats a lot of them, it’ll get an upset stomach,” he says. “They’re not poisonous, but sometimes they eat more than they want.”

Millions of Velella Velella are spread across the beach near the tide line. #OregonCoast #VelellaVelella
I was able to film this Velella Velella (aka By-the-Wind-Sailor) as it was washed ashore by the waves and 30 mph winds. #OregonCoast #VelellaVelella
It’s that time of the year, for the cool coastal phenomenon where it looks like something vile washed up on the beach. In reality, it’s these cool sea creatures called velella velella. They showed up on Nye Beach overnight - not there after sunset last night, blanketing the beach from one end to the other this morning.

The wreck of the Peter Iredale has sat on the Oregon coast since 1906. I caught the rusted skeleton at low tide during golden hour at Fort Stevens State Park

The barnacle covered stumps of the #Neskowin #GhostForest are the remnants of an ancient sitka spruce forest on the #OregonCoast. Scientists believe that the forest was ultimately destroyed as a result of an earthquake or tsunami, and the remains eventually buried deep approximately 2000 years ago. Back in the winter of 1997-98, a series of storms pulled enough sand and soil out to sea to expose the stumps. Most of them can only be seen at low tide.
