Hi Kelly...it's possible the plastic bands are part of the UW's COASST survey...fondly called the "dead bird survey". We use plastic bands to keep track of beached (dead) birds. They can be reached at info at coasst.org or call Jane Dolliver at 206-221-6893 and ask her if those colors match a Tacoma beach location....and let us (me at least) know what you find out, please.

Thanks,
