So, after a subdued February, accumulation is back. Here's Zone N:
142 finds:
- Building materials: 7 (3 asphalt chunks, 3 brick bits, concrete)
- Foam/Styrofoam: 0
- Fishing misc.: 97 (74 bits of lobster trap coating, 20 claw bands/scraps, trap fragment, bumper, rope scrap)
- Food-related plastics: 9 (4 bottle cap seals, 2 chewing gum, 3 silverware)
- Food-related metal/glass: 3 (can scrap, 2 sea-glass bits)
- Non-food/unknown plastics: 22 (inc. chinstrap, hairband, vinyl upholstery scrap, bandaid, car spark plug wire clip)
- Cigarette filters/plastics: 0
- Paper/wood: 1 (cardboard scrap)
- Misc./unique: 3 (leather rectangle, cord, firework base)

On to Zone S:
70 finds:
- Building materials: 5 (2 asphalt chunks, 3 pieces of brick)
- Foam/Styrofoam: 0
- Fishing misc.: 30 (11 bands, 18 trap coatings, bungee rope from lobster trap)
- Food-related plastics: 3 (2 bottle cap seals, polystyrene cup scrap)
- Food-related metal/glass: 2 (can scraps)
- Non-food/unknown plastics: 27 (inc. dog-chew tennis ball, degraded comb scrap, marker cap scrap, 2 bandaids, vinyl upholstery scraps)
- Cigarette filters/plastics: 0
- Paper/wood: 0
- Misc./unique: 3 (cord, firework base, leather sole scrap)
Mostly the same story. But then... there's still always more in Zone N than in Zone S. Even in winter. Even though both zones are the same length. Why? The steeper slope of Zone S? The low-tide rock outcrop near Zone N? And it's starting to seem that Zone S collects more bits of leather than Zone N. Can two sections of the same beach, barely a football field from each other, really have noticeably different signatures?
I don't know.
What I do know is, every time I wander the shore, trying to figure it out a bit more, I find more reasons to keep coming back.

Truly, this article is really one of the very best in the history of articles. I am a antique ’Article’ collector and I sometimes read some new articles if I find them interesting. And I found this one pretty fascinating and it should go into my collection. Very good work.
