City Hall says planned slowgrowth ballot initiative would shift project’s costs to local residents.

By Parimal M. Rohit REDONDO BEACH — A voter initiative proposed for Redondo Beach’s March 2017 ballot could result in a smaller scale redevelopment of the city’s harbor district, potentially costing local taxpayers nearly $200 million, a city report estimated.

A private developer is currently backing the harbor renovation project known as The Waterfront, but it could walk away if voters approve the King Harbor Coastal Access, Revitalization and Enhancement (CARE) Act. The Waterfront redevelopment project currently has a price tag between $300 million and $400 million, but CenterCal, a real estate development firm based in El Segundo, would finance the plan’s execution.

CenterCal CEO Fred Bruning told The Log in July his company would not be able to move forward with its Waterfront project it had to abide by the conditions of the ballot initiative.

“If it should come to reality I think it would effectively shut down any redevel-

opment on the Waterfront for decades, leaving the city with daunting financial obligations with no means to pay for them,” Bruning told The Log in an email a few months ago.

Updating waterfront infrastructure, replacing area buildings and constructing a new boat launch ramp facility would cost Redondo Beach $196 million if required to adhere to the terms of the King Harbor CARE Act, according to a City Hall report made public Nov. 29.

Taxpayers could be on the hook for the $196 million bill, as City Hall believes the ballot initiative would deter private developers from partnering with Redondo Beach to jointly revitalize the harbor area.

One major source of contention is where a new boat launch ramp facility should be built. Plans currently call for the boat launch ramp facility to be built at Mole B, which is relatively close to King Harbor’s main entrance. In late November, the Redondo Beach City Council denied an appeal to have the new boat launch ramp facility moved to another location.

The initiative, if passed, would require Redondo Beach to build a twolane public boat launch with at least 60 parking spaces no more than 500 feet away. The ramp would also have to be away from the outer breakwall and not

Taxpayer bill for scaled down Redondo Beach waterfront project: $200 million

Redeveloping the Redondo Beach waterfront could cost the city $200 million if voters approve the King Harbor CARE Act in March 2017. At least one grassroots organization believes the city could find financing elsewhere and avoid pegging the entire bill on local taxpayers.

result in a net loss of boat slips.

Rescue Our Waterfront (ROW), a local grass roots organization opposed to the Waterfront project as currently proposed, has long been campaigning to have the boat launch ramp facility built at Mole D. ROW supporters also filed the King Harbor CARE Act. Building a public boat launch ramp facility at Mole D would cost $4 million more than a similar venue at Mole B, according to the city’s Nov. 29 report.

“The city’s marine engineer does

not believe there is any location in King Harbor that meets all of the boat launch facility requirements required by the initiative,” city staff stated in its report.

“While construction of a facility on Mole D … would most closely comply with the initiative, it would not fully meet the storm surge retrieval obligation, even with a new breakwall.

“The cost to construct the facility is estimated to be $10 million and does not include a boat hoist or any loading/ See REDONDO BEACH page 7

Rare whale sightings off the Southern California Coast 2C

A huge pod of 30 to 40 (possibly even 50 or more) killer whales swimming close to the Southern California shore does not happen every day. Yet this is precisely what happened on the last day of November.

Fishing boats and whale watching charters from Dana Point to Long Beach saw the killer whales, also called orcas, cruising up the local coastline on Nov 30.

Killer whales “have a preference for harbor seals, but also eat California and Steller sea lions, Dall’s porpoise, dolphins, small whales, squid, sharks including the great white and seabirds,” according to the Aquarium of the Pacific.

These orcas can measure 16 to 22 feet long and weigh 3,000

NEWS BRIEFS NATION/WORLD Two Montana reservoirs with invasive mussels closed to boats HELENA, Montana (AP) — Montana officials working to identify and contain invasive mussel populations have implemented boating closures on the Tiber and Canyon Ferry reservoirs.

The closure prohibits the launch or removal of any boat, dock or other structure from either reservoir that could potentially transport mussels, according to Mark Wolcott, the incident commander of the rapid response team created to address the issue.

to 12,000 pounds. The size of the throat “is large enough to swallow small seals whole,” as stated on the Aquarium of the Pacific website. Female killer whales can live up to 90 years of age.

In addition to all the excitement of the cruising killer whales, there were also sightings of several gray whales on that same day. The gray whales are starting their southbound migration as these killer whales traveled north.

An even rarer sighting occurred several days later.

Harbor Breeze Cruises out of San Pedro discovered sperm whales in our local ocean.

“It was personally my first time ever seeing a sperm whale,” Capt. Ryan Lawler of Newport Coastal Adventure stated. “Typically they are at to prevent the spread of aquatic mussels to other uncontaminated water bodies, Wolcott said. They will remain in effect until the reservoirs ice up.

Invasive mussels rapidly multiply and can damage beaches, clog boat motors and dams, harm fish and wildlife and cause costly damage to infrastructure.

The directors of the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation and the state’s Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks approved the boating restrictions, the Independent Record (bit.ly/2fYqOzL) reported.

The closure announcement came a day after Gov. Steve Bullock declared a natural resources emergency over the presence of the larvae of invasive aquatic mussels in the Tiber Reservoir. Further anal-

ysis is being done after suspected positive tests were obtained at Canyon Ferry Reservoir, the Milk River below Nelson Reservoir and the Missouri River near Toston.

Bullock’s declaration freed up $750,000 in state special funding to address the issue.

No adult mussels have been found so far. However, response team member Bryce Christiaens said officials are operating under the assumption that adults are present.

The team is contacting experts in other states to determine lowering reservoir levels could help control the spread of the mussels. Doing so would also make it easier to search for adult mussels that might be left dry by receding water, officials said.

Regulators ask fishermen to help study imperiled shrimp PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Fishing regulators are looking to hire Maine fishermen to help study New England’s imperiled cold water shrimp population.

The interstate Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission and the Maine Department of Marine Resources said they plan to hire five shrimp trapping vessels to collect samples of Northern shrimp.

The fishermen will also be allowed to bring 500 pounds of shrimp per week to shore and sell them. The project will begin on Jan. 30, 2017 and last for eight consecutive weeks.

Stormy September seas Jackie and Steve Duval of Laguna Hills went on a friends-and-family vacation with 17 people in September.

They arrived in the Outer Banks of North Carolina in the Oregon Inlet Marina just a day after Hurricane Hermine’s arrival. Rough seas prevented the vacationers from fishing the Outer Banks for wicked bluefin tuna. The next best thing was standing next to a record size fish caught from a charter boat out of Oregon Inlet Marina. They now know why houses along the Outer Banks are built on stilts – storm surge.

Center for Biological Diversity files federal lawsuit to halt offshore fracking.

By Parimal M. Rohit STATEWIDE — An effort to block offshore fracking in federal waters off the California coast is officially underway, with legislators and state agencies urging the White House to take protective action and at least one environmental organization challenging the issue in court.

Allowing offshore fracking could be harmful to marine life and recreational fishing activities, opponents allege.

A Dec. 1 caucus letter from about two dozen California state senators to the White House urged Pres. Barack Obama to exercise his powers under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) and permanently prohibit new offshore oil and gas drilling in federal waters off the state’s coast.

Meanwhile the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) filed a federal lawsuit Nov. 15 in Los Angeles, challenging a decision by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement to allow oil and gas leasing, or fracking, in federal waters just beyond California’s shores.

President-elect Donald Trump could pursue fracking and drilling plans in federal lands, according to a BBC report.

The BBC report stated Trump proposed to lift a moratorium on extracting forms of energy – such as oil and gas – from federal lands, opening the door for fracking activity.

Fracking is already prohibited within state waters. The two bureaus targeted in CBD’s federal lawsuit reportedly decided to permit offshore fracking in federal waters about six months ago.

A statement released by the Center for Biological Diversity shortly after its lawsuit filing said its action was a proactive measure to prevent a Republican controlled White House and legislature from pursuing new drilling opportunities off the southern and central California coast – particularly in the Santa Barbara Channel, which is home to cultural resources and submerged village sites of the Chumash people.

“The Santa Barbara Channel is one of the most biologically diverse seascapes in the world. It contains a vast array of habitats and marine life, including giant kelp forests and threatened and endangered blue whales, sea otters and sea turtles,” CBD staff said in a released statement.

Similarly State Senate Democrats signed off the Dec. 1 caucus letter, hoping Obama would take action before he leaves office in order to protect marine life, recreational fishing and water quality.

“A sizable [oil] spill off our coast would have a devastating impact on our public health and safety, local and state economies, and our environment.

Expanded offshore oil and gas drilling also undermines the important strides we have made both as a state and as a nation to address climate change and promote a clean energy economy,” the State Senate caucus letter to Obama stated.

The state senators added Obama must act “to ensure California is not threatened by increase offshore oil and gas drilling in the future.”

Allowing offshore fracking would result in numerous environmental and public health hazards such as the discharge of toxic wastewater, earthquakes and emission of hazardous air pollutants, according to the CBD lawsuit.

Fracking would also threaten a variety of marine species, the lawsuit continued.

“Every offshore frack increases the risk of poisoning our ocean, and that danger could now spread along our coast. Oil companies just dump fracking wastewater in the ocean, and we’re swimming in it along with the whales and sea turtles,” CBD attorney Kristen Monsell said in a released statement.

CBD staff also called on Obama to use his powers under the OCSLA to restrict fracking in federal waters off the California coast.

“The Obama administration could forestall expanded drilling off the California coast under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, which gives the president authority to ‘withdraw from disposition any of the unleased lands of the Outer Continental Shelf,” CBD staff stated.

Staff attorneys with the CBD hope the federal lawsuit will result in a court order prohibiting future approval of fracking in federal waters off the California coast unless the decision complies with the National Environmental Policy Act and Endangered Species Act. The California Coastal Commission discussed sending a letter to the White House to express opposition to offshore fracking in federal waters off the state’s coast.

Also campaigning Obama were the six U.S. senators from California, Oregon and Washington. Sens. Barbara See STANDING WATCH page 8

A Coast Guard Abstract of Title provides critical information for boat buyers

By David Weil, Esq.

Q

I am in the process of buying a boat and I’d like to know more about the Coast Guard Abstract of Title. What information is listed on the Abstract, and is it available for all boats? My lender was unable to approve my loan until reviewing the Abstract, but I don’t recall this being an issue on my previous boat.

A Coast Guard Abstract of Title is a record of all of the documents submitted to the Coast Guard for a particular boat and accepted for recording by the Coast Guard. An Abstract is available for all Coast Guard documented vessels, either through a vessel documentation service or directly from the Coast Guard’s National Vessel Documentation Center (uscg.mil/hq/cg5/nvdc/).

Many people view an Abstract as a vessel title his-

A

tory, but this is not exactly correct for a number of reasons.

First, it lists only materials that were accepted for recording by the Coast Guard during the time that the vessel was Coast Guard documented. As such, there may be lengthy periods of time that are not accounted for if the boat was ever registered in a state (such as through the California DMV) or in another country.

Furthermore, as we have discussed frequently in this column, the recording of a lien with the Coast Guard is optional. As such, a valid lien may not be listed on the Abstract, and a claim that is listed may not be a valid lien (the one exception to this ambiguous treatment is a mortgage, which in fact must be recorded to be valid).

With these issues in mind, it is apparent that an Abstract is not a definitive “title history” for a vessel. Nonetheless, a

wide range of information is listed on an Abstract, and different people use that information for different purposes.

The document starts by identifying the vessel by name, Coast Guard Official Number, and Hull Identification Number, together with a discussion of where, when, and by whom the vessel was built.

This information by itself is helpful. A prospective buyer should be sure to compare the Hull ID Number and Official Number on the Abstract with the numbers that are permanently marked on the boat, and confirm that the numbers match. Any discrepancy may be evidence of a simple typo, or it could be evidence of fraud or a crime. It should in any case lead to further inquiry.

It is not uncommon for some of the identifying information to be missing, particularly when the boat was See attorney page 21

Fast Facts: Bate’s folly of Shelter Island On Board With Johnson

by J.R. Johnson

By Parimal M. Rohit SAN DIEGO — The lack of docking space and a public launch ramp in San Diego helped one local man turn a sand spit just east of Point Loma into a haven for boaters and yachtsmen.

John Bate, a former San Diego port director, lead the charge to convert a half-mile sand spit into a boating destination.

“In 1948, there wasn’t a single public boat launching ramp on the entire bay. Docking space was pretty well taken up by two private clubs,” Tim Shepard wrote in Popular Boating’s January 1959 issue.“But for the terrible-tempered John Bate, San Diego’s fire-eating port director, and a thing for years known as Bate’s Folly, the situations might be no better today.”

Area residents met his plan with opposition.

“The port director’s plan for converting this spit into a self-supporting island and improving the yacht harbor met with a storm of protest from Point Lomans,” Shepard wrote.“They rather liked the old sand bar and feared a honkytonk type of development.”

Bate saw his plans through, however, raising enough money to build Shelter Island into the boating destination he envisioned.

“For a comparatively small sum of $1.2 million he gave San Diego one of the finest boating facilities on the Pacific Coast,” Shepard wrote.“Bate’s folly is now a handsome, palm-lined island, a mile long and 300 yards wide.

“Shelter Island has spawned two yacht clubs, two boating marinas, and a boatel, with total slip space for more than 750 boats,” the writer continued.“Plush restaurants on either end of the island give San Diegans an opportunity to watch boating activity as they dine.”

Shelter Island is also home to a public boat launch ramp, which is about to be renovated and updated. The launch ramp launched more than 1,200 boats in a six-hour stretch during the 1958 Yellowtail Fishing Derby, according to Shepard.

Redondo Beach From page 3

queuing docks,” the city staff report continued.

A boat launch ramp at Mole D as outlined in the ballot initiative would be inconsistent with Redondo Beach’s General Plan Policy and prevent the city from building a “unified seaside village,” according to the Nov. 29 City Hall report.

“Development of a boat launch at Mole D would also separate the pedestrian related components of the project to two disconnected areas, thereby limiting the city’s ability to create a pedestrian oriented development,” city staff stated in its Nov. 29 report.

In October, the city’s Harbor Commission green-lit a boat launch ramp facility to be built at Mole B. The Redondo Beach City Council, at their Nov. 29 meeting, rejected an appeal of the Harbor Commission’s recommendation.

Redondo Beach resident Jim Light, who appealed the Harbor Commission’s recommendation to move forward with a boat launch ramp facility at Mole B, argued the city’s plan would result in increased traffic and a reduced number of boat slips.

His appeal included letters from a boater, former Harbor Patrol captain and rescue boat captain. Each letter stated the Mole B was not the safest location for a public boat launch ramp facility.

Building new parking structures in certain areas along the waterfront could be prohibited if voters approve the ballot initiative. Such a prohibition would have a ripple effect on boat launch ramp construction and, ultimately, the city’s ability to attract a development partner to help defray some of the project’s costs.

“In absence of a significant development partner, the city would … be responsible for replacement of most of the existing commercial building south of Portofino Way, which is estimated to cost [up to $50 million],” the city staff report stated. “If the initiative were to be implemented, the future Seaside Lagoon and boat launch amenity costs, estimated between $30 million and $35 million, would also become an obligation.”

City Hall has been contemplating a public boat launch ramp facility ever since King Harbor was first conceived.

Building a boat launch ramp at Mole B would cost about $6 million, according to city staff – the lowest cost option available. City officials also argued a boat launch ramp could be built at Mole B faster than at any other location.

“The design of boat launch facility at Mole B can accommodate multiple users and methods of launching water craft. The design for the site can accommodate trailered ramp launches, hand launches and launches from a hoist,” city staff stated in a report to council members. “The site minimizes the interaction of vehicles with boats/trailers and existing and proposed commercial uses in the Waterfront’s center.”

Maintaining and operating a boat launch ramp facility at Mole B would cost $82,000 annually. City Hall estimates revenues from boat launch ramp would also be $82,000 annually, based

upon 15 daily launches at $15 each.

Nils Nehrenheim, one of ROW’s founding members, questioned the veracity of the city’s report and decision to allow a boat launch ramp to be built at Mole B. He said the city’s Nov. 29 report was biased and excluded a lot of items.

“They say it’s going to cost Redondo Beach $200 million but we don’t talk about public-private partnerships or grants. They can get that money from anywhere they want,” Nehrenheim said.

ROW submitted a 16-page rebuttal to City Hall about one week after the Nov. 29 report was made public.

“A public-private partnership is still quite likely under the CARE Act. Many developers would seize upon the opportunity to rebuild commercial space in an

attractive waterfront area, especially if the city pays the infrastructure cost and relieves the developer of that burden,” the ROW rebuttal stated.

The ROW rebuttal also challenged the city’s assertion an additional breakwater would have to be built by Mole D to accommodate a boat launch ramp there.

“The city staff made an incorrect interpretation of the language in the CARE Act by presuming that the boat launch ramp placement on Mole D would require an additional breakwater to accommodate extraordinarily rare surge conditions,” ROW’s rebuttal stated.

“The additional inflatable breakwater is not necessary and should be removed to more accurately reflect the intention of

the CARE Act and the costs associated with the initiative.”

The King Harbor CARE Act proposes to amend Redondo Beach’s Measure G, which was approved by local voters in 2010 and regulates development in the city’s coastal commercial zones.

If approved by voters the initiative would reduce Measure G’s 400,000-square-foot cumulative development cap.

Local grassroots organizations also filed appeals with the California Coastal Commission to challenge City Hall’s boat launch ramp decision and the redevelopment project as a whole.

Both appeals are expected to be heard together at a Coastal Commission meeting in late winter or early spring.

Standing Watch From page 5

Boxer, Dianne Feintein, Jeff Merkley, Edward Markey, Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell all urged Obama to call for the permanent withdrawal of oil and gas drilling from federal waters up and down the West Coast.

“Opening up the coast to more fossil fuel development poses a threat to our oceans and the coastal economies that depend on them,” the six senators wrote in their Nov. 16 letter to Obama. “We ask you to use the authority granted to you under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) to prohibit future oil and gas leasing along the West Coast to protect the magnificent coastline forever.

“Without a permanent withdrawal, we cannot be certain that the coastline would not see new oil and gas development in the future,” the letter later continued.

While legislators, coastal commissioners and nonprofit agencies push for a permanent ban on fracking in federal waters off the California coast the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement both determined hydraulic fracturing to be a more efficient means to extract oil and gas (as opposed to conventional forms of extraction).

Fracking supporters claim the new form of oil and gas extraction has

allowed the United States to become energy independent and helped maintain consumer gasoline prices at affordable levels.

Annual Reviews of Environment and Resources published a study on the costs and benefits of fracking in 2014; Yale Climate Connections said the report offered the fairest take on fracking. “[Fracking] is driving an economic boom, with consequences described from ‘revolutionary’ to ‘disastrous.’

Reality lies somewhere in between.

Unconventional energy generates income and, done well, can reduce air pollution and even water use compared with other fossil fuels. Alternatively, it could slow the adoption of renewables and, done poorly, release toxic chemicals into water and air,” the Annual Reviews study stated.

“Primary threats to water resources include surface spills, wastewater disposal and drinking-water contamination through poor well integrity,” the report continued. “An increase in volatile organic compounds and air toxics locally are potential health threats, but the switch from coal to natural gas for electricity generation will reduce sulfur, nitrogen, mercury, and particulate air pollution.”

A list of the pros and cons of fracking was also listed in a May 2015 article published by Yale Climate Connections.

Take Action Regardless of your stance on fracking, the time appears ripe to communicate with your state or federal representative about whether the activity should be allowed in federal waters off the California coast.

Blips on the Radar Latest News Updates Port of Los Angeles breaks ground on L.A. Waterfront roadside improvements What Happened: The Port of Los Angeles kicked off construction of the $14.8 million Harbor Boulevard Roadway Improvement Project in San Pedro with a groundbreaking ceremony Dec. 8. The roadside improvements are part of the larger L.A. Waterfront project, which aims to revitalize the San Pedro area into a visitor-serving destination for boaters, residents and tourists.

Harbor Boulevard will be realigned near 7th Street and Sampson Way, where city and port officials are planning to build San Pedro Public Market at the Ports O’ Call Village.

“The realignment of Harbor Boulevard signifies the beginning of a project that our community has desired for a very long time,” Los Angeles City Councilman Joe Buscaino said.“The redevelopment of Ports O’ Call will have a positive ripple effect for the entire Harbor Area community.”

What’s On Tap: Port and city officials hope construction will be completed by spring 2018. San Pedro Public Market is scheduled to open in 2020. The new intersection of Harbor Boulevard, 7th Street and Sampson Way would help connect the San Pedro waterfront to boaters, Catalina-bound and cruise passengers, residents and visitors.

By Parimal M. Rohit Most recently, the commission rejected an application to develop Newport Beach’s Banning Ranch, one of the largest stretches of open land in coastal Orange County.

“I do think some significant things have been accomplished during these last few years,” Kinsey said, recognizing the commission’s efforts in addressing sea level rise and protecting orcas.

What’s On Tap: Bochco and Turnbull-Sanders assumed their respective roles immediately after the election of officers.

The commission’s new chair said she will not accept ex partes during her tenure and will work to improve the agency’s relationship with the media.

Commissioner Roberto Uranga was appointed to serve as chair of the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission; he succeeded Bochco.

Commissioner Mark Vargas will continue serving as a member of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy.

52 docks at Marina Village Marina will be upgraded

California Coastal Commission selects new chair

What Happened: The California Coastal Commission approved a request to replace damaged concrete floating docks at Marina Village Marina in San Diego with polystyrene foam/concrete docks on Dec. 7.

The marina, located in Mission Bay, is home to about 600 boats. Commissioners approved the request as part of its Consent Calendar.

What Happened: California Coastal Commission member Dayna Bochco was unanimously elected chair Dec. 7, succeeding Commissioner Steve Kinsey. Bochco served as vice-chair under Kinsey.

Commissioner Effie Turnbull-Sanders was elected as vice-chair.

Kinsey, who also serves on the Marin County Board of Supervisors, was chair during one of the most tumultuous periods of the commission’s history. In February the commission ousted Charles Lester as its executive director. The ouster was quite controversial, with a large contingency of groups and constituents opposing the decision.

The commission was also under fire for its practice of meeting with third parties privately (called ex parte meetings).

What’s On Tap: Marina Village Marina will have to submit a water quality plan and best management practices to demonstrate the new docks won’t harm the immediately surrounding area.

About 52 damaged cement floats would be replaced.

“Twenty-two mainwalks and 30 finger floats would be removed and replaced in-kind with floats consisting of expanded polystyrene foam encased by a concrete shell. There will be no increase in the number or size of dock floats and the existing configuration will remain unchanged,” commission staff stated in its report to commissioners.“The purpose of the project is to replace old and damaged floats to ensure that the anchorage is maintained in a safe and operable condition.”

Ventura Port District breaks ground on new development Portside Ventura Harbor would bring 104 boat slips, 270 apartments and a public dock to waterfront.

By Parimal M. Rohit VENTURA — For the second time this year, developers and public officials broke ground on a harbor area development project after more than 15 years of delays and deliberations.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held at the proposed Portside Ventura Harbor site Dec. 7, setting the stage for a 104-slip marina and 270-unit residence to be built just off California’s south-central coast.

The Dec. 7 groundbreaking in Ventura followed a similar event about 120 miles south at Dana Point Harbor, where Orange County officials finally put a shovel in the dirt to launch a waterfront revitalization nearly 19 years after the project was first delayed.

The Sondermann-Ring project at Ventura Harbor has been in the works for about 16 years and was recently green-lit by the Ventura Port District Board of Port Commissioners.

A memorandum to port district staff from the law firm Lagerlof, Senecal, Gosney & Kruse described the project’s approval process as “a 14-year marathon of frustration and delays.”

Port commissioners and city leaders hope the development, which could be completed by November 2019, would provide new recreational and open-space amenities at the harbor area, potentially complementing the recently updated Ventura Harbor Village.

Once completed the Portside Ventura Harbor development would include 104 boat slips in a 44,000-square-foot marina, 90-foot public dock for kayak and paddleboard launching, 270 apartments, 30 live/ work spaces, a water taxi stop, public access promenade, 2-acre waterfront park and 21,200 square feet of com-

mercial and retail space.

Port staff said the slips would accommodate boats from 30 to 80 feet in length. Plans presented to the Coastal Commission outlined what amenities would be included in the 104-slip marina. Proposed amenities included in-slip pump-out service, shore power, television/telephone hookups and six transient berth spaces for short-term renters.

One transient berth would be reserved, at no cost, for nonprofit boating organizations.

About 40 percent of slips would be set aside for 35-foot boats or smaller, according to plans. The marina would be built near the terminus of Schooner Drive.

Ventura Harbor would be home to 1,352 boat slips – up from 1,248 – once the Sondermann-Ring project is completed.

The project’s announced budget is $93 million and includes a $71 million bank loan.

Ventura’s Port District and City Council have been deliberating the Portside Ventura Harbor project since 2000. An initial agreement was reached between public officials and the Sondermann-Ring team in 2002, but the project endured an additional 14 years of delays as multiple agencies, including the California Coastal Commission, weighed in on plans.

A final vote on the project was recorded Oct. 5, when the port’s commissioners unanimously approved plans.

Portside Ventura Harbor, which is the first major development at Ventura Harbor in three decades, was the brainchild of developer Michael Sondermann and attorney Doug Ring.

Sondermann continued to see the project through after Ring was reportedly found dead at his Los Angeles area residence in 2009.

Port District Board Chairman Jim Friedman, in a released statement, welcomed the addition of upscale apartments and expanding public open space at Ventura Harbor.

the shrimp’s ability to thrive off the New England coast. Regulators shut the fishery down in 2013. They were formerly a popular winter seafood item in Maine and beyond.

The shrimp were formerly harvested by fishermen from Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Fishermen to be allowed same catch of deep sea crabs in 2017 NEW BEDFORD, Massachusetts (AP) — Federal regulators said East Coast fishermen would be allowed to catch the same amount of deep sea red crabs in the next few years.

Deep sea red crabs can inhabit depths of nearly 6,000 feet in the Atlantic Ocean and are fished off of New England and the midAtlantic. They are harvested for use as fresh picked crab meat and frozen crab legs.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said fishermen would be allowed to catch nearly 4 million pounds of the crabs in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

The crabs are brought to shore mostly in New Bedford, Massachusetts and Norfolk, Virginia.

The agency said scientists believe continuing the current volume of catch won’t cause overfishing.

Mexico president creates 4 new protected biological reserves

By PETER ORSI, Associated Press MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s president signed decrees creating four new biological reserves and five other protected areas Monday, setting aside about 160 million acres (65 million hectares) for environmental conservation.

Enrique Pena Nieto’s office said in a statement it was the largest amount of land the country has ever decreed as environmentally protected, and with it Mexico joins a group of nations that have met a commitment to safeguard 10 percent of their maritime area. It said Mexico has now designated 23 percent of its sea surface as protected.

The decrees establish the reserves of the Pacific Islands, comprising some 3 million acres (1.2 million hectares) of waters off the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula; the Mexican Deep Pacific, a swath of ocean over 2,600 feet (800 meters) deep from Chiapas state to Nayarit; the Mexican Caribbean, which includes an important reef system; and the Mountains of Tamaulipas, a habitat for various feline species and the source for eight different watersheds.

In a statement, the U.S.-based environmental group the Nature Conservancy congratulated the Mexican government on “reaffirming (its) commitment to conserving marine habitats.”

It said the areas protected “contain some of the most unique biodiversity in the world and are of great economic significance for the surrounding communities.”

Pena Nieto signed the decrees as a U.N. Biodiversity Conference was being held in Cancun, Mexico.

“Either we change our way of life to stop the loss of biodiversity, or this loss will change our lives forever,” Pena Nieto said in remarks at the conference.

Pena Nieto also said the five additional protected areas will be off-limits to oil exploration and extraction. They cover areas with mangrove forests, coral reefs and other expanses of water in the Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Cortez, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean as well as jungle regions in southern Mexico.

U.S. Sailor Rich Wilson passes Cape of Good Hope in Vendée Globe race MARBLEHEAD, Massachusetts — U.S. sailor Rich Wilson rounded the Cape of Good Hope at the bottom of South Africa and is heading towards Australia in the Vendée Globe race. Wilson, the only American in the race, is now in 17th position, behind the leader, Armel Le Cléac’h.

Wilson, at the age of 66, is the oldest skipper in the fleet. Of the 29 skippers who left Les Sables d’Olonne in western France on Nov. 6, six have withdrawn due to damage or equipment problems. Wilson, who has been at sea for 30 days, crossed the Prime Meridian on December 2 and is sailing in the Indian Ocean.

The hardest and most famous sailing race in the world, the Vendée Globe involves sailing 28,000 miles around the world alone, with no stops and without assistance. It sets sail and finishes in Les Sables d’Olonne of France after rounding the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, Cape Leeuwin in Southern Australia and the infamous Cape Horn at the tip of South America.

Oil spill money turning into Gulf artificial reef bonanza PANAMA CITY, Florida (AP) — Artificial reefs are coming to Gulf of Mexico waters near Panama City because of an infusion of oil spill money.

Bay County officials announced more than $2.3 million from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill would be used to pay for the reefs.

The Panama City News Herald reported

(bit.ly/2fzzOrX) the reefs would be installed within state waters up to nine miles offshore from Mexico Beach to the west. Officials expect it would take about three years for all the reefs to be put in place.

Officials said these artificial reefs would boost the area’s ecotourism and draw more anglers.

Center for Coastal Conservation has a new name WASHINGTON — The Center for Coastal Conservation, an advocacy group for recreational marine fishing and boating, has changed its name to the Center for Sportfishing Policy. The name change went into effect on Dec. 1.

“Under the new name, the Center for Sportfishing Policy will continue to advocate for sound fisheries policy and communicate with Congress on behalf of the saltwater recreational fishing and boating community,” president of Center for Sportfishing Policy, Jeff Angers, said.

With the new name came a newly redesigned website and web address. The web address is now SportfishingPolicy.com.

As the website states, the Center for Sportfishing Policy’s mission “is to maximize opportunity for saltwater recreational anglers by organizing, focusing and engaging recreational fishing stakeholders to speak with one voice to shape federal marine fisheries management policy.”

Koester said the otter plopped into the front of the boat, rolled around, scratched his belly and ears and nibbled on rope and his shoes. He added it appeared the otter “was having a good time.”

Koester said the otter appeared to be at least 80 pounds and stayed on the kayak for at least 10 minutes. After Koester started paddling, the otter jumped back into the water.

Settlement reached for fishing company involved in Ventura Harbor oil spill VENTURA — The fishing company, Royal Pacific, paid $80,000 for an oil spill including $10,000 in civil penalties and $70,000 in restitution for environmental damage on Dec. 1.

The spill occurred more than three years ago after Royal Pacific accidentally collided with another fishing vessel, causing 203 gallons of red dye diesel to be released into the Ventura Harbor.

Ventura Harbor was closed for over two weeks following the spill. The California Environmental Protection Agency determined there was no significant health risk.

Royal Pacific compensated the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for the cleanup costs.

Engineering problems blamed for U.S.S. Zumwalt’s delay

More California coast reopens to Dungeness crab fishing SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California officials announced a 50-mile stretch of commercial Dungeness crab fishery will reopen after tests showed a drop in acid levels.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported (bit. ly/2h2vDda) the California Department of Fish and Wildlife announced it would open crab fishing in the area between Point Reyes in Marin County and Salt Point in Sonoma County. Fishing grounds north of Salt Point through the North Jetty of Humboldt Bay will remain closed.

Officials shut down the fishing area because of high domoic acid levels. It almost wiped out last year’s season and hurt the state’s crab industry.

When people eat seafood contaminated with the toxin, they can experience vomiting, diarrhea and dizziness. Severe cases could cause seizures, coma or death. Health officials said there have been no such illnesses reported this year.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Engineering problems are blamed for the delays encountered by the new high-tech destroyer U.S.S. Zumwalt, during the voyage from Maine to her homeport in San Diego.

Since leaving the Bath Iron Works at Bath, Maine in September (the yard where she was built), the ship’s crew has been dealing with problems.

The first occurred when Zumwalt suffered a leak in her propulsion system in September. The leak required the ship to remain at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia longer than expected for repairs.

A second delay occurred when Zumwalt suffered another engineering problem on Nov. 21 while passing through the lower half of the Panama Canal and was towed to port at the Pacific end.

A publication of the U.S. Naval Institute, USNI News, reported the destroyer lost propulsion when both drive shafts failed and Zumwalt hit the lock walls in the canal, causing minor cosmetic damage. The crew also saw water intrusion in bearings that connect electric motors to drive shafts, reported USNI News.

The Navy said Zumwalt departed Panama on Nov. 30 after repairs to the propulsion system by the ship’s crew and a team from General Electric and the Naval Sea Systems Command.

The 610-foot destroyer, which cost more than $4.4 billion, has an angular shape to minimize its radar signature and is regarded as the most technologically sophisticated destroyer ever built for the Navy. One of its signature features is a new gun system that fires rocket-powered shells up to 63 nautical miles.

According to Navy officials, Zumwalt will undergo testing, crew training and the completion of the installation of its combat system in San Diego with regular deployment expected to begin by the end of 2017.

Outdoor coalition campaigns for expanded support from White House NMMA among groups asking Trump administration increased federal funding.

By Parimal M. Rohit WASHINGTON, D.C. — A newly formed coalition of outdoor and recreational interests launched a campaign last month urging President-elect Donald Trump and his incoming administration to expand economic and political support of boating and other activities.

A Nov. 16 letter from the Outdoor Recreational Industry Roundtable to Vice President-Elect Mike Pence stated the outdoor economy is “critical to America’s national interest.” Supporting the outdoor economy, according to the letter signed by a coalition of 14 organizations (including National Marine Manufacturers Association or NMMA), would spur growth and sustain recreational activities such as boating and fishing.

“Industry groups representing nearly 90 percent of the outdoor economy, including recreational vehicles (RVs), boating, angling, hunting, camping, archery, shooting sports, both towable and motorized recreational vehicles, power sports and outdoor equipment gear and apparel are joining forces to grow diverse participation, expand access and promote conservation,” the letter to Pence stated.

“Rather than focus on our individual industries, we have come together as outdoor recreation business leaders seeking achievable action for the entire outdoor recreation sector,” the letter continued.

The Outdoor Recreational Industry Roundtable outlined four major themes of what the Trump administration could do to support increased participation and economic growth of the outdoor sector.

Increased presence in the White House, improved infrastructure, workforce development and recreational access to federal lands and waters were the four goals presented to Pence.

The coalition specifically requested the incoming Trump administration create an Outdoor Recreational Business Roundtable as a White House Advisory Panel.

“The multifaceted recreation business community remains highly fragmented, and never before have top leaders had a forum to collectively brainstorm the opportunities and challenges facing our businesses and consumers,” the advocacy letter stated. “An Outdoor Recreational Business Roundtable would provide such a forum and allow leaders from all facets of recreation to work directly with the Administration to grow the outdoor economy.”

NMMA and other outdoor groups also called for new legislation supporting infrastructure improvements.

“Recreation enthusiasts need public lands and waterways infrastructure funding that would pay for construction and maintenance of public buildings, recreation sites (e.g., boat ramps and campgrounds), and utility services,” the letter explained. “In addition to the need for public investment in public lands and water infrastructure, an increase in private investment in recreation infrastructure will be critical to continuing to attract visitors to participate in recreational activities.”

The outdoor groups also urged the incoming Trump administration to provide enough vocational training to support job growth within the industry.

“Growing the outdoor economy will require production of more recreational products and a corresponding level of employment. The next administration should focus efforts on providing readily accessible vocational and technical training for students,” the advocacy letter stated. “Many technical programs currently focus on automotive training but vocational studies and apprentice programs would benefit from new sector engagement like recreation products.”

Balancing conservation with public access to federal lands and waters was also a priority for the Outdoor Recreational Industry Roundtable.

“Conservation and access should not be mutually exclusive principles for federal management. Outdoor recreationists require clean water, abundant fisheries and properly maintained trails to recreate,” the Outdoor Recreational Industry Roundtable stated. “While we support sound conservation, federal managers must balance the needs of conservation with the public right to access.

“Federal officials must acknowledge that diverse forms of land- and waterbased recreation are legitimate, and that including them in management plans for public lands and waters is central to fulfilling their organizations’ mission and growing the overall outdoor economy,” the letter continued.

NMMA staff added the outdoor economy contributed about $646 billion annually to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product.

Joining NMMA in reaching out to Pence and the Trump administration were American Horse Council, American Recreation Coalition, American Sportfishing Association, Archery Trade Association, International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association, Motorcycle Industry Council, National Park Hospitality Association, Outdoor Industry Association, Recreational Vehicle Dealers Association, Recreational Vehicle Industry Association, Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association and Specialty Vehicle Institute of America.

Air dancers flaying but not failing in Dana Point Harbor OC Parks says pilot program to deter pinnipeds from docks will continue.

By Nina K. Jussila

With the change of season, there has been a “decrease in sea lions in the marina basins. It is anticipated that in the next 60 days, deterrence measures will be removed and redeployed if the sea lions return,” said O’Neil.

The program to use air dancers as a deterrent is expected to continue.

The number of air dancers may even increase if sea lions return next season, O’Neil told The Log.

sea lions on the dock with the air dancers where the sea lions previously lounged. He agreed that the sea lions do a lot of damage, make a mess and stink. However, he doesn’t necessarily want those air dancers on his dock saying they make a lot of noise, use a lot of energy and may be too expensive.

According to OC Parks, there are currently 25 air dancers in Dana Point costing just under $3,000. In regards to how much energy the air dancers require, OC Parks staff said it is “difficult to say as they are not metered; however there has been no significant change in facility power consumption.”

the air dancers around the marina, they become less effective. Combining additional air dancers with other obstacles seems to be more effective.”

The Log’s editorial team observed sea lions resting near an air dancer during a visit to Dana Point Harbor in mid-September.

O’Neil said the air dancers, combined with barriers, have been working.

“Air dancers have been very successful in combination with other sea lion deterrence measures such as obstacles,” O’Neil updated The Log more recently in November. “We see between one to eight sea lions at a time. There isn’t a lot of available room for them to jump onto the docks [with the air dancers and obstacles], so we generally see only a couple at a time.”

Other methods used along with the air dancers include five gallon buckets filled with water as well as rails to deter sea lions from jumping on docks.

“Lastly we also use the manual method … when receiving a report, a marina staff member physically turns a water hose on the sea lion. This is immediately effective but does not discourage them on a long term basis,” O’Neil said.

A Dana Point angler told The Log the air dancers appear to be working, since he personally has not seen any

Orange County officials have tried placing air dancers in several locations throughout Dana Point Harbor to prevent sea lions from climbing onto boat docks and slips. The air dancers have met with some success. Officials have complemented air dancers with other deterrence measures.

DANA POINT — A county-sponsored experiment to deter sea lions from docks at Dana Point Harbor appears to be working, according to officials at OC Parks. The program is expected to continue into 2017.

Air dancers were placed on various docks in Dana Point Harbor to deter sea lions since the beginning of summer. OC Parks has been looking at alternative ways to humanely discourage sea lions, or pinnipeds, from clambering and sprawling on boats and docks in the marina. Sea lions can cause damage, leave a mess and be rather aggressive when confronted.

OC Parks expanded the air dancers’ pilot program throughout the harbor.

“Initially [OC Parks] deployed three [air dancers] at the Harbor Patrol dock – as it was the most impacted by sea lions and it isn’t a high traffic area,” Marisa O’Neil, spokesperson for OC Parks, stated. “However, since then they have been deployed throughout the east marina.”

Air dancers at Dana Point Harbor met with initial success but soon became a less effective means to deter sea lions from the docks, so multiple obstacles might be implemented in the long run, O’Neil told The Log in September.

“The air dancers are one element of deterrent options, and initially the air dancers had an immediate effect on the docks where they were placed. The sea lions avoided the area around the air dancers. Sea lions would jump on a dock and, upon seeing the air dancers, would immediately leave,” O’Neil said in September. “In most cases the sea lions relocated to other areas of the marina. As the sea lions moved, we moved the air dancers to those areas.

Sea lions could be seen resting on one side of a fuel dock while an air dancer flails several feet away. The air dancers initially scared sea lions off local docks, but the pinnipeds soon adapted. County officials kept the air dancers in place but implemented other measures to minimize sea lion interaction with boaters on the docks.

Pier was deemed unsafe for use in December 2015.

By Catherine French CHANNEL ISLANDS — A damaged pier on Santa Cruz Island was revitalized and reopened to the public after a oneyear closure.

The pier at Santa Cruz Island’s Scorpion Anchorage, which was built from a flatbed railcar in 2000, resumed operations Dec. 2. It was shut down for repairs in December 2015. An Island Packers ferryboat brought the first round of passengers to the pier.

Officials removed the flatbed railcar Nov. 30 and replaced it with an elevated aluminum gangway. The gangway looks like a typical ramp commonly found at any marina or harbor.

The aluminum design means the pier is much lighter than the old flatbed railcar and can withstand the salty environment and high surf, according to park officials.

Park officials stated the aluminumdesigned pier is a short-term solution.

Construction of a permanent pier will be completed within two years, according to announced plans.

Channel Islands National Park Superintendent Russell Galipeau provided details about the new pier a few months ago.

“Faced with this repair, we looked

at options for a better fix and one that could be reused when a completely new pier is constructed. We decided that long-term, we needed a solution that did not involve climbing a ladder to the pier and back again to a boat. We decided to get out of the ladder business altogether,” Galipeau said.

Wave action, saltwater corrosion and sand loss caused the pier to deteriorate and be deemed unsafe for use.

The pier was in need of significant repair after severe winter weather at the end of 2015.

Visitor landings were further complicated when high seas caused all the sand from the local beach to be removed, leaving many boulders and rocks in its place.

Island Packers spent the past year bringing visitors to Santa Cruz Island by ferryboat and rigid-bottom inflatable skiffs. Six people at a time would be transferred from the ferryboat and onto the skiff to complete the journey.

Private boaters who normally came ashore aboard their own skiffs were often reluctant to do so in recent months, worrying the rocks and boulders on the beach might damage their craft’s hull.

Channel Islands National Park officials hope building an elevated gangway would address such a concern. When the new pier is completed, visitors will step from the boat to the

NEWPORT BEACH — The California Coastal Commission adopted Newport Beach’s plan to implement a Local Coastal Program (LCP) during its December meetings in Ventura. A pair of Coastal Development Permit (CDP) fees was approved two weeks earlier by the Newport Beach City Council.

Both actions will dictate how the city manages coastal development within Newport Harbor.

Park is home to more than 30 anchorages.

Visiting boaters wishing to take advantage of the improved pier or want to make a beach landing should contact the Scorpion Anchorage National Park Ranger on Marine VHF 16 prior to coming ashore for current status and landing advice.

Boaters can also visit nps.gov/chis for a wealth of useful information and links to other important sites to help plan a trip to the national park.

The commission’s adoption of the city’s Implementation Plan allows Newport Beach to have a certified LCP, with the commission and city agreeing to changes governing shoreline protection, emergency permit authority and local beach hours.

Future coastal development in

Newport Beach would have to ensure hazards to life and property are minimized and structural integrity of local bluffs and canyons would be maintained. Developers would also have to prevent shoreline erosion, protect public access and views as well as implement policies consistent with the Coastal Land Use Plan.

“The proposed [Implementation Plan] is structured in such a way as to list the allowable land uses and the general development standards for each of the coastal zone’s fourteen zoning districts,” commission staff stated in a report to commissioners.

Commission staff added the LCP implementation and land use plans would help Newport Beach balance commercial development and recreational uses of the harbor without sacrificing maritime themes and visitor-serving amenities. “[The LCP Implementation Plan and Land Use Plan policies would] provide for areas appropriate for commercial development on or near the waterfront that will encourage the continuation of coastal-dependent and coastal-related uses, maintain the marine theme and character, encourSee NEWPORT LCP page 15

age mutually supportive businesses, encourage visitor-serving and recreational uses, and encourage physical and visual access to the bay on sites located on or near the bay,” commission staff told commissioners.

“Uses such as boat storage, boat yards, marine service stations, water transportation services are considered coastal-dependent/marine related and would have priority over other allowable uses,” commission staff continued in its report.

Coastal Development Permit The Newport Beach City Council approved a monetary amount for a CDP fee and waiver in a separate action on Nov. 22. The CDP permit fee is $2,500; a CDP waiver fee would cost $910.

Any person or organization seeking to develop a project within the coastal zone must first obtain a CDP, as established by the California Coastal Act. Development, according to the California Coastal Commission, means such changes as “construction, removal of rock or soil, clearing of vegetation, impeding access to the beach or recreational trails, altering property lines, changing the use of the land and repair or maintenance that could result in environmental impacts.”

What area constitutes a coastal zone? This may vary but typically a coastal zone “can extend up to five miles inland from the shore, including private and public property, and three miles out to sea.”

The CDP fee operates as a deposit, according to city staff.

“Since the city does not have a CDP permit history to establish a flat fee, staff proposes establishing a deposit account requirement in the amount of $2,500 and then track staff time and charge against it at a rate of $198 per hour,” city staff stated in its report to council members.

A refund will be issued if the cost is less than the total deposit. The applicant would have to provide additional funds if city staff time exceeds the $2,500 deposit.

The CDP waiver is a flat fee of $910.

Sustainability Plan aims to improve water quality in Newport Harbor Newport Beach hopes longrange strategy will encourage clean boating practices.

By Nina K. Jussila NEWPORT BEACH — Improving local water quality has been a work-inprogress for many harbors and cities up and down the Southern California coast. Newport Beach hopes to achieve improved water quality in its own harbor as the city refines and advances its Sustainability Plan.

One of the major goals of the plan, in regards to Newport Beach’s harbor and beaches, is high water quality.

City officials hope to achieve a healthy ocean, bay and harbor by implementing a variety of measures over time.

Boaters were a key group of stakeholders identified in the plan. City officials encourage boaters to engage in clean boating practices.

Some have argued hull cleaning and older engines are a source of pollution in Newport Harbor. The Sustainability Plan could ultimately suggest best management practices in addressing common boating issues.

Newport Beach’s City Council expressed its support of the Sustainability Plan in June. The plan has been formulating through meetings with various groups as well as from public outreach in support of conservation efforts. It continues to be reviewed by city commissions and committees.

Former City Council member Nancy Gardner, who has taken the lead on bringing the Sustainability Plan to life, said the Harbor Commission and Tidelands/Coastal Water Quality Committee, among others, have already provided input.

The Sustainability Plan, according to Gardner, establishes a path for Newport Beach to take towards long-term protection of environmental resources.

“The goals of the plan are several: to help insure we can ‘sustain’ our

“The path we propose is one of encouragement and incentives, not punitive.

We propose no penalties or fines, for example.”

Gardner said the local boating com-

munity would be tasked with limiting the effects of hull cleaning on water quality.

“The plan proposes expanding solar facilities in the harbor and suggests the Harbor Commission be tasked to explore new ways to lessen the impact of things like hull cleaning on water quality,” Gardner said. “An important proposal to come from that commission is the importance of maintaining marine-related businesses on the harbor.

Aquaculture: Option for Sustainability or Unhealthy Model?

Fish farms could come to ports in San Diego and Los Angeles, but industry growth and regulation is still a work in progress.

By Parimal M. Rohit SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — The future of seafood consumption in the United States, dependent upon who you ask, will either be enhanced or inhibited by domestic offshore fish farming, or open ocean aquaculture. Is aquaculture here to stay? Or are there too many problems associated with aquaculture production for the industry to become a viable and long-term option?

Commissioners and staff members at the San Diego Unified Port District have actively sought out aquaculture business opportunities in recent months. Open ocean aquaculture projects could also be realized at the Port of Los Angeles and near Catalina Island, according to USC Dornsife.

Producing seafood in Southern California’s coastal zone, aquaculture supporters hope, would help reduce U.S. reliance on imported seafood and help the country develop a healthy and sustainable food supply at lower costs.

Port of San Diego staff and other agencies/organizations studying the future of aquaculture in California and the U.S. say about 91 percent of our consumable seafood is imported.

Aquaculture production accounts for about half our imported seafood, according to port officials.

Aquaculture and the Port of San Diego A few months ago the Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners received an update from district staff members of potential business opportunities in the aquaculture space. Pursuing aquaculture – or blue economy – opportunities would help reduce the nation’s seafood trade deficit while increasing domestic production of fish and similar items, port district staff consistently maintained.

Port district staff identified aquaculture as “a growing opportunity for new business development in Southern California.”

“This opportunity is primarily being driven by the growing global demand for seafood and the lack of a domestic supply,” port district staff stated. “While there is a clear food production component to this demand, aquaculture offers multiple co-benefits, such as fisheries enhancement [and] ecosystem restoration, [among others].”

The Port of San Diego has been working with Sea Grant fellows to develop a pilot program for aquaculture projects.

Commissioners and port staff unveiled a new research project Dec. 14 to help advance aquaculture opportunities in San Diego Bay. The research project could result in port officials launch-

ing permitted oyster farm operations.

“Aquaculture is the wave of the future,” Commissioner Dan Malcolm said after a presentation on the issue at the commission’s August board meeting. “We talk a lot about sustainability, we talk a lot about carbon footprint, environmental matters.

What’s the carbon footprint of the seafood on your plate?

[An estimated] 91 percent [of our consumed seafood] is grown on foreign shores.”

California Sea Grant’s aquaculture workshop The future of aquaculture Aquaculture production could soon arrive in Southern California, but there is still some debate about whether fish farming in Southern California is the is a viable solution addressing the nation’s seafood trade deficit.

Dock Lines With Capt. Nicole Creating onboard holiday traditions Story and photo by Capt. Nicole Sours Larson Have you spent the holidays on board your boat?

While Arv and I had spent an occasional New Year’s Eve and more Thanksgivings on board, we had never made the leap to celebrating the full December holidays on the water until recent years.

The culprit? Not the weather, but instead the shifting of all the Christmas paraphernalia (tree, decorations, gifts, giftwrap, etc.) to the boat. Chiefly, in retrospect, I think it was the tree.

I’ve loved Christmas trees since I was a little kid. I insisted on spending at least one night sleeping under our fragrant pine tree, which my father and I harvested from the woods down the road.

Our small Christmas – or “Catmas” – tree with its unbreakable ornaments sits atop a counter on the Burgundy, within easy reach of playful cats.

My emotional attachment to a fresh tree was such I swore I would never, EVER, succumb to a fake Christmas tree. Gradually the time required to string and remove lights overcame my resistance.

Buying a pre-lit artificial tree for our home paved the way to moving our holidays onboard. For the boat, we purchased a second smaller tree sized to sit atop a countertop in our salon. I culled decorations and selected a trove of ornaments appropriately scaled to our tree. All had to be unbreakable because our cats enjoy batting them around – and it’s important our cats also enjoy “Catmas” full of toys and crinkly paper.

We discovered numerous options for maritime holiday décor at specialty shops, as well as at the malls, with choices suitable for whatever holiday

you celebrate, including Catmas or Dogmas.

For large family holiday gatherings, dinners become simpler if you opt to dine out and avoid frustrating meal preparation in restricted spaces.

Numerous restaurants, especially hotel restaurants, are open on Christmas and New Year’s, offering special menus for each holiday occasion, with festive decorations. Why not travel by dinghy if the weather allows?

If you still want to serve a hot meal on board but have limited facilities, order a fully prepared feast from one of the many grocery and specialty stores offering holiday dinners. When picking up your meal take along towel-lined insulated bags or coolers. Load your hot food into the bags and cover everything with more towels, which should keep everything warm for several hours if properly wrapped.

Most marinas are quiet in December, meaning your boat can serve as a relaxing retreat from a fast-paced holiday season and reinvigorating hub for exploring the surrounding region or investigating unexpected treasures.

We’ve recently developed new traditions centered on activities near our marina. While we cherish lighted boat parades, we’ve discovered new pleasures in viewing legendary hotels and resorts’ holiday décor, as well as touring nearby neighborhoods, such as Point Loma’s Garrison Street, where residents decorate their homes and share them with the community.

Such specially-lit streets are often highlighted in local media.

Each year we also research regional holiday celebrations and enjoyed taking in Huntington Harbor’s holiday lights cruises indulging in smaller community events.

We’ve made holiday excursions to LACMA and Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles as well as art galleries in Laguna Beach and Balboa Park in San Diego.

Coastal California’s abundant historic and cultural resources (including museums, zoos, missions, churches, parks and public gardens) all dress up for the holidays and offer seasonal events such as home tours, craft fairs, caroling concerts, puppet shows, plus special performances featuring theatre groups, and choral and musical ensembles. Look for listings in local publications, websites or at tourist offices.

Whether you’re an empty nester or you enjoy spending holidays surrounded by friends and family, you too can uncover new ways of experiencing the holiday season on board.

By Nina K. Jussila AVALON — Island visitors can stay at a newly opened, nationally branded resort in Avalon and experience an underwater modern art exhibition in the city’s harbor this month.

Holiday Inn Resort Catalina Island hotel is now open for guests to stay during their visit to Avalon in Catalina.

The hotel joins Bluewater Café, Radio Shack and U.S. Bank as the only national brands on the island.

The new Holiday Inn Resort Catalina has 75 rooms, an outdoor pool, Jacuzzi, spa, gym, business center, complimentary Wi-Fi and an on-site restaurant. It also has more than 5,000 square feet of meeting space.

This is the second Holiday Inn Resort location in California; The Lodge at Big Bear Lake is the other location.

“We, of course, are very pleased to have Holiday Inn on the island in Avalon,” David Jinkens, city manager of Avalon, told The Log. “The new Holiday Inn is a hotel that was an acquired one from the Catalina Canyon spa and resort. We are happy of course to see

Holiday Inn come to the community.”

The resort offers free shuttle to transport guests from the harbor to the hotel. Boaters can take the shuttle from the harbor and into the canyon where the Holiday Inn is situated.

“The Holiday Inn Resort brand offers the warm hospitality Holiday Inn guests know and love in beautiful resort destinations from seaside to mountains, all around the world,” Vice President of Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza Brands, The Americas, IHG Eric Lent said. “The addition of the Holiday Inn Resort Catalina Island hotel expands the brand’s presence on the West Coast and offers another exciting destination where families can create lasting memories.”

Another new development currently (yet temporarily) in Avalon is Doug Aitken’s art installation of Underwater Pavilions. The work consists of three sculptures on display beneath the ocean’s surface off the coast of Catalina Island in Avalon.

Parley for the Oceans partnered with the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) to produce this underwater feature.

Sustainability From page 15

elements of the plan.”

Many harbor commissioners expressed support of the Sustainability Plan.

Brad Avery, the one-time Harbor Commission chair elected to Newport Beach’s City Council last month, realizes the Sustainability Plan’s environmental goals requires collaboration of boaters, residents, visitors and local businesses.

“Newport’s sustainability gives residents, visitors and businesses a great roadmap toward a cleaner local environment. The elements of the plan have a wide range. If implemented over time, they will improve the quality of life in Newport,” said Avery. “Ultimately however, the plan’s success will depend on voluntary participation by our community.”

Current Harbor Commission Chair Paul Blank said Newport Beach needs a Sustainability Plan to ensure boaters, residents and visitors continue to enjoy the harbor and local beaches for generations.

“When I am asked about why the city needs a Sustainability Plan, I typically respond with something like, ‘What are the things you like about living/working/recreating in Newport Beach?’ The Sustainability Plan addresses how we ensure those things are still here for people to enjoy 100 years from now – and hopefully beyond,” stated Blank.

“If asked specifically about why the Harbor needs a Sustainability Plan, I give the somewhat more specific response of, ‘What are the activities you enjoy in or around Newport Harbor?’

The Sustainability Plan guides us in ensuring people can still enjoy those activities 100 years from now,” he continued.

His colleague, commissioner Joe Stapleton, has similar sentiments.

Stapleton deems the Sustainability Plan necessary to help protect the precious resources of the harbor and waterfront region for many years.

“It is important for any city to have a sustainability plan to preserve our community for generations to come,” Stapleton said. “There is no doubt in my mind that our harbor is the jewel

of our city. It is important that we do what we can to help protect our water quality, preserve critical marine related businesses on the waterfront and focus on continued maintenance to make sure our harbor is safe for everyone to use.”

Avery, Blank, Stapleton and the rest of the Harbor Commission reviewed the plan at their October meeting.

Blank said the commission added action plans to “reduce runoff and trash coming from upland/watershed [as well as] encourage clean boating.”

“As a Harbor Commission and boaters in the Newport Harbor we can continue to educate others and reward those operators who are demonstrating progress in this initiative,” Stapleton said. “A large portion of the sustainability program in Newport on the water will be about creating awareness and educating those who use the harbor the most (everything from washing your boat, dredging, reducing runoff, trash and supporting overall clean boating).”

What boaters can do to help improve water quality is just one element of the Sustainability Plan.

Another major concern is poor water quality caused by rain and runoff.

The proposed plan aspires to have all beaches receive no lower than a B grade from Heal the Bay. Heal the Bay’s recent analysis, for example, found the beaches in Newport have all achieved an A+ grade during dry weather. Many of the beach areas in the Newport Bay, however, have received an F grade in wet weather.

Part of the plan’s strategy to improve water quality is to reduce polluted water coming from streets and storm drains to runoff into the bay and ocean.

“The beaches get contaminated by runoff in wet weather. All the road dirt and urban waste that winds up in a gutter washes down to the bay/ocean/ beaches during a rain. The Newport Bay Watershed drains approximately 150 square miles of land and all the trash/waste on it when it rains,” Blank said.

Ray Hiemstra, associate director of Orange County Coastkeeper, considers the Sustainability Plan in regards to water quality as mostly beneficial. “[The plan] addresses the major issues of environmental sustainabil-

ity and provides specific guidance on how to make improvements. In the water quality section we specifically support the sections regarding reducing runoff and trash and having the Harbor Commission take a leading role in promoting clean boating practices.”

Hiemstra said.

“One point we do not support is the idea of a natural source exclusion for bacteria in Newport Bay,” Hiemstra also stated. He questioned a water runoff study sited within the Sustainability Plan.

“The plan references a ‘study’ by Dr. Jack Skinner and John Kappeler. This was a simple demonstration of how biofilm can get washed into the bay, not an actual study of bacteria inputs,” Hiemstra pointed out. “The current F grades during wet weather are a sign that the water in the bay is not as clean as it should be and asking for a suspension of the rules during wet weather does not solve the bacteria pollution problem or make swimming in the bay safer. The recommendation in the plan should be to do a full bacteria study for the bay and reduce bacteria sources where necessary.”

Harbor commissioners already voted in favor of the Sustainability Plan.

A City Council vote could soon follow.

“The Harbor Commission unanimously supported the Sustainability Plan that was proposed last month because we understand the legacy that we must continue to push forward making sure that our harbor continues to be the crown jewel of Newport

Beach,” proclaimed Stapleton.

If ultimately approved the plan would operate as a set of guidelines instead of an official regulatory document.

“It is important to note that the plan only applies to city functions, and that the sustainable practices proposed are voluntary and no new regulations are recommended in the plan that is under review,” Newport Beach Community Development Director Kim Brandt confirmed. “The plan encompasses many city areas of responsibilities, and it encourages the city to incorporate sustainable practices into its various functions and to promote such practices in the private sector. The plan also calls for the city to partner with utilities, educational institutions, nonprofits and the private sector to achieve the plan’s goals.”

The plan’s review process will continue into 2017, when the Finance Committee is expected to weigh in with suggestions and recommendations.

City Council review and direction could follow shortly thereafter, according to Brandt.

The Newport Beach Sustainability Plan ultimately aims to preserve and protect the city’s natural resources.

Other beach cities in Southern California that have a sustainability plan include San Diego, Santa Barbara and Long Beach.

Hiemstra stated he is not aware of any other Orange County city having such a plan, but he believes they should.

Catalina Island continues to struggle with the drought The city of Avalon is seeking solutions while the community is dealing appropriately.

By Nina K. Jussila AVALON — Catalina is in an ongoing drought as is the rest of California. Strict water restrictions are in effect in Avalon and the community has reportedly responded remarkably. The city continues to search for effective ways to address the island’s water shortage.

At a City Council meeting last month, a project manager from Southern California Edison (SCE) brought Avalon’s elected officials and staff up-to-date on the upcoming plans to help address the drought.

There are three new grant opportunities being pursued and additional projects in various stages. Pump tests will be conducted on an existing well at Middle Ranch to determine whether a new deep water well is feasible.

“Catalina’s drinking water resources have been deleted to near all-time historic low levels. All Catalina residents and businesses are now required to cut back on water use even more to preserve our water resources,” as stated on SCE’s website.

There are approximately 4,000 residents in Catalina year-round and more than 700,000 island visitors annually, according to SCE. The majority of residents are in Avalon (population: 3,799). The city is currently in Stage 3 of its Mandatory Water Conservation program.

Stage 1 of Mandatory Water Conservation was implemented in Catalina more than two years ago due to the drought. This phase restricted residents from washing cars, driveways, piers and streets. Restaurants were not allowed to serve water unless asked.

Stage 2 went into effect in August as a result of the Middle Ranch Reservoir

caused by improper management of waste.

However best management practices and production improvements are being realized thanks to a growing body of university research, Daniels stated.

“There seems to be agreement among environmentalists that organic standards could be developed for closed systems, ‘where inputs, outputs, health and animal welfare can be monitored and controlled,’” Daniels wrote in her report.

water level falling below 300 acre.

On Sept. 6, Mandatory Water Conservation progressed to Stage 3 when water level fell below 200 acre. This required 40 percent of water rationing for businesses and residences in Avalon.

“We’ve learned to adapt and acclimate knowing there’s a bad water shortage,” stated Avalon resident and restaurant owner Steve Bray. “We take short sailor showers with buckets and water plants from the buckets. [However], it is a battle to do business.”

The first customer bills SCE received under Stage 3 shows water usage by the community has been reduced by nearly 59 percent, which is an 18 percent improvement of water rationing since Stage 3 was implemented even with a visitor count increase of nearly 30 percent.

“This shows that the community has responded very well to the increase of water rationing level,” SCE Senior Project Manager Jeff Lawrence stated at the Avalon City Council Meeting in midNovember. “We want to thank the community for their efforts.”

As of Nov. 10, Middle Ranch Reservoir water level was at 123 acre-feet, about 12 percent of its capacity.

Stage 4 mandatory water rationing will only be implemented if the water base amount of the reservoir reaches 50 feet.

With fresh water levels dropping in the Middle Ranch Reservoir, a second desalination plant was put in place to provide additional drinking water for Avalon in 2016.

The city of Avalon owns the saltwater system. Southern California Edison (SCE) owns the filtered water systems and provides drinkable water to Avalon. The freshwater systems that SCE oversees for Catalina include wells, storage, treatment, distribution and two desalination plants.

“Avalon has sufficient water that can be produced by two existing desalinization plants to not be in a drought. The

announced in January it would allow seafood farming in the Gulf of Mexico.

A federal lawsuit filed by several fishermen’s and marine groups in February challenged NOAA’s action, claiming aquaculture harms wild fish, spreads disease, causes pollution of ocean ecosystems and threatens marine life, among other potential harms.

“Industrial aquaculture remains subject of great controversy in the a States and abroad. This is United it carries with it a plethora of because adverse environmental well-known intertwined socioeconomic conseand quences,” the federal lawsuit claimed.

Parties to the federal lawsuit, which was filed in a U.S. District Court in Louisiana, included Center for Food Safety, Food and Water Watch Inc.,

rules governing how droughts are determined must be changed,” Avalon City Manager David Jinkens said.

With Mandatory Water Conservation, restaurants are currently required to charge their patrons for a glass of drinking water.

“Charging people 50 cents for water, people weren’t fazed by it. We are not out there to make a dime on it,” said Bray, owner of Steve’s Steakhouse located on the main street in Avalon overlooking the bay.

Those not adhering to the restrictions of water usage will first receive a written warning. Those that continue to violate water use restrictions will be fined.

Bray is more than willing to pay the fine if his restaurant exceeds the designated water allotment. He wants to make sure that his customers are taken care of, but he also has taken measures to conserve as much water as possible. Some of the steps that he has enforced in his restaurant are to ensure the dishwasher is filled to capacity before running as well as turning down all pressures from bar, restroom and kitchen faucets.

“People from the mainland get a little upset [about paying 50 cents for water],” interjected Margaret Bray, owner of Maggie’s Blue Rose. As more people have become aware of the dire drought situation, however, this has become less of an issue.

“Avalon has the capacity with its desalinization plants to ensure a sustainable water supply for Avalon and our tourists if the steps we are seeking are taken,” Jinkens stated.

The City Council has requested and is still waiting on SCE’s approval to provide water rationing waivers to businesses and hotels.

“The city will continue to pursue relief for local residents to maintain a viable local economy and keep people working,” stated Jinkens. “The City Council and staff believe that there are ample freshwa-

Gulf Fishermen’s Association, Gulf Restoration Network, Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Shareholders’ Alliance, Charter Fishermen’s Association, Alabama Charter Fishing Association and Florida Wildlife Federation, among others.

The lawsuit alleged several harmful effects of aquaculture, including the risk of farmed fish escaping from their containment and “the spread of potentially deadly diseases and parasites from aquaculture facilities to wild fish and other marine wildlife.”

Other potential harms, the lawsuit alleged, included “pollution of ocean ecosystems from the inputs (e.g., drugs, pesticides, fungicides, algaecides) and outputs (wastes) of industrial aquaculture, the privatization of public ocean resources, threats to marine life and

ter capabilities to provide interim relief from the strict watering conditions while we actively pursue freshwater storage options.”

The city recognizes the community has done a great job with water conservation efforts. Because of this, the city wants to find a way to give back to the community to relieve some of the stress on Avalon residents. City council members are reaching out to companies such as Nestle, Aquafina and Fiji Water to see if they are willing to donate water. Avalon Freight Service said they would help out if they can get a waiver from the public utilities commission. The freight cost to ship water to the island is one of the company’s biggest barriers.

There is currently a two-year supply of water thanks to the conservation efforts of the entire community, according to Lawrence.

Other recommendations made to the City Council, according to Jinkens, include “building adequate fresh water storage produced from desalinization and new salt water wells... and getting grant funds to tie in Hamilton Cove into the City’s fresh water supply. If grant funds are not available for the latter, the property owners there could agree to form an assessment district to fund waterline construction.”

The Brays mentioned their clientele consists mostly of boaters and yacht club members. They rely on them for business.

The Brays heard boaters might not be visiting Avalon as frequently as before since they do not want to contribute to an already diminished water supply.

Boaters, however, have their own water the Brays said, adding they know how to and participate in conserving water.

One City Council member pointed out Avalon is still able to produce enough water and visitors are welcome.

The city and SCE expressed appreciation for the community’s efforts and are looking for more ways to help.

marine ecosystems from aquaculture systems, market displacement and price competition from cheaply produced farmed fish [and] adverse economic effects on fishing businesses.”

The dust has yet to settle and the future of aquaculture is still taking shape, especially in developing oversight policies and funding opportunities.

Nonetheless Daniels believes aquaculture is a viable solution for our future food supply.

“Aquaculture, like any form of agriculture, can be done sustainably,” Daniels wrote in her 2014 report. “It is a matter of how the farmer chooses to farm, and it is as valuable with farmed fish as it is with other food, to know your farmer.”

initially registered with a state or a foreign country. However, missing information may sometimes be an indicator of a problem. For example, it is perfectly legal to register a 70-foot motor yacht with the California DMV, but this would nonetheless be pretty unusual because the Coast Guard documents most large yachts in this country. Since the Abstract would have no information for the period that the boat was DMV registered, a prospective buyer should ask a few questions, particularly if the period of DMV registration was fairly recent.

After reporting the identifying information at the top of the form, the Abstract lists a series of documents in the order the Coast Guard accepted them for recording. Most users of an Abstract are concerned with three principle documents: A Bill of Sale (to evidence a transfer of ownership), a Notice of Claim of Lien, and a Preferred Ship Mortgage. It also lists a Satisfaction of Mortgage and a Satisfaction of Claim of Lien, which are used to cancel the original mortgage or lien, and various lesser-used documents such as for the recording of a court order or for Coast Guard administrative purposes.

When lenders review an Abstract of Title, they will start from the top and confirm that the transfers of ownership accurately track the history from seller to buyer. They will confirm every prior mortgage is followed by a satisfaction of mortgage and a Satisfaction of Claim of Lien follows every Claim of Lien.

Most people who review an Abstract of Title will stop when they confirm that the liens and mortgages all appear to be satisfied. The Abstract does offer more information, if we look a little deeper.

We already discussed the importance of time gaps in the chronological history and missing or incorrect vessel identification information, but information that is otherwise correct may be helpful as well. For example, a large Claim of Lien may appear to have been satisfied, but what if a salvage company made the claim? This would tell us that the boat suffered a catastrophic loss at some time that may not have been disclosed.

The identity of the owner may also be important. If the first transaction recorded on the Abstract is a transfer to a new boat dealer, but the first sale to a consumer was a few years later, the boat may have been used by that dealer as a demo and the new boat warranties may have been extended by the demo period. In other cases, if we know a boat was owned by an oil spill company, our marine surveyor may know to look for some hidden scars that would not otherwise be apparent.

A Coast Guard Abstract of Title may provide information that is critical to a purchaser’s decision on whether to buy the boat. Buyers should ask their broker or lender for a copy and then review it carefully for anomalies; even if they are assured that there are no outstanding liens.

LONG BEACH — Naples Island in Long Beach is having its Annual Holiday Boat Parade on Saturday, Dec. 17. Since this is Naples Island’s 70th year of having the boat parade, the theme is appropriately named “A Platinum Celebration.”

About 75 small boats and 20 large boats are expected to participate in this parade.

The largest boat in the parade is the Port of Long Beach’s Sea Force. The Long Beach Harbor Patrol acquired this 90-foot vessel from the U.S. Dept. of Defense back in 2010. State Sen. Ricardo Lara will be aboard Sea Force in this year’s boat parade.

Small boats will start in Marine Stadium and cruise through the harbor into the canals. Large boats will start along Lido Lane in front of Naples Plaza and circle around the island.

Boat owners and homeowners will be judged and awarded for various categories including best display of animation, beauty, lights, craftsmanship, creativity, design, fantasy, heritage, humor, imagination, and patriotism.

Houses along the canals and boats in the water reflecting their festive lights complement the parade as spectators stroll along the canals and across the various bridges of Naples.

For questions about participating in the parade, contact Boat Parade Chairperson John Schuman at investorsmortgagejohn@yahoo.com.

– Drambuie

By Nina K. Jussila

Boat name: DRAMBUIE Length: 36 ft.

Draft: 2.5 ft.

Beam: 10.5 ft.

Year Built: 1956

PHOTO CREDIT

The Back Story: Alan Baron was perusing eBay for an autopilot part for his boat when he came across a 1956 Rybovich Sportfish Hull #23. “It was such a unique boat with only 127 boats of this kind having been built since 1947,” Baron told The Log. The previous owner had taken the boat out to be photographed. On his way back to the dock, the boat blew an engine. The boat ended up in a warehouse for two to three years and then on the previous owner’s property for another two to three years before the owner made a call to donate the boat. However, he was advised to sell the boat and donate the proceeds.

Baron, who wasn’t planning to get another boat, bought the 1956 Rybovich after coming across this classic boat on eBay. He refers to the purchase as his “barn-find Rybovich.”

to the Kaiser family, of the steel and health company, for about 35 years. There was one other owner between the Kaiser family and the boat’s current owner, Baron.

Restoration: Drambuie was 75 percent restored by the prior owner but completely disassembled with the exception of brand new engines. Baron had the bridge removed to have it shipped to Newport Beach from Tacoma, Washington and then reinstalled the bridge. He coupled up the engine, installed the generator and the engine controls as well as reconfigured and installed the original galley along with the dinette and salon area. Baron also installed a tackle center, refrigerator, freezer, underwater lights and state-of-the-art electronics.

Drambuie appears 95 percent original from her exterior. Below deck, with the exception of the original copper drip pans in the engine, everything is 2015 technology.

What is in the name: The boat was previously named

A Slice of History: Drambuie was originally built for Dr. Jack Kevorkian’s father or grandfather. The second owner was the Roebling family, known for engineering and building the Brooklyn Bridge. The boat then went

Dambuie. Baron thought the name was missing an “r” for Drambuie, which is an older flavor scotch. He felt the name was appropriate and “period correct.” Baron also liked the name in reference to the Drambuie classic fishing tournament held every year in the Caribbean.

Home Base: Little Balboa Island in Newport Beach has been Drambuie’s home since April of 2016. She is a member of the Balboa Yacht Club and Tuna Club of Avalon.

Chuck Clay wins regatta and spoils Ives’ shot at sixth win

LONG BEACH— Alamitos Bay Yacht Club (ABYC) Commodore Chuck Clay won this year’s Cal 20 Fun Run, the end-of-season regatta hosted by Long Beach Yacht Club (LBYC), on Dec. 10.

LBYC staff commodore Mike Van Dyke finished two points behind Clay for second place and five-time winner Keith Ives, ABYC, ended the day’s racing with third place overall.

On a cool and overcast day, the forecasted wind of 7 to 9 knots never showed and the fluky 3 to 4 knots of breeze couldn’t make up its mind which direction it wanted to come from.

Pro Doug Bower made the mark set team earn their stripes today, frequently adjusting the course setup in an effort to keep up with the breeze.

This traditional regatta, held on the first or second weekend of December, puts the emphasis on fun with joking and well wishes heard from boat to boat. It’s a good old fashioned day of racing with Mike Van Dyke (r) and Chris Raab (l) took second place honors in their Cal 20, Maniacal, in the 2016 Cal 20 Fun Run.

Southern California fishing news

State and federal officials express support of Oceana’s proposal to Pacific Fishery Management Council.

By Parimal M. Rohit SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — An environmental advocacy group’s request to protect the deep sea floor off the Southern California coastline from trawling activities has gained the support of federal legislators and state officials.

Oceana formally requested the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) to prohibit trawling, or bottom contact fishing, activity in waters deeper than 3,500 meters (about 11,500 feet) between the U.S.-Mexico border in San Diego and Pt. Conception near Goleta.

The council reviewed the proposal at its November meetings in Portland, Oregon.

Trawling is not common in the area where Oceana seeks to have the activity prohibited, but the organization hopes proactive or preventative action taken now can help local legislators and regional officials protect marine wildlife

from potential future harm.

“We have an opportunity to implement a precautionary management approach to a truly unique ocean habitat which will ensure that the Pacific Ocean off Southern California continues to be a global hotbed for marine wildlife by eliminating the threat of bottom trawling on the seafloor,” Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom wrote in a letter to PFMC’s Chair supporting Oceana’s proposal.

“It is timely and crucial that we continue to develop new innovative ways to prepare, manage and mitigate changing ocean conditions caused by climate change along our coastlines, and develop policy programs to research issues such as ocean acidification and hypoxia,” Newsom continued.

“Protection of pristine deep sea habitat found in the Southern California Bight is essential for data collection and understanding California’s greatest ally – the Pacific Ocean.”

Several members of the House signed off on an Oct. 7 letter to the assistant administrator of NOAA Fisheries to express their collective support of the Oceana proposal.

“We support action to protect the deep-water ecosystem off California

from all bottom contact fishing gear using [MagnusonStevenson Act] authority,” the letter stated.

Reps. Ted Lieu, Grace Napolitano and Maxine Waters were among the 10 representatives who signed the Oct. 7 letter.

Environmental group seeks to prevent trawling in SoCal Bight

California’s Fish and Game Commission will conduct a full review of local MPAs in April 2017.

By Parimal M. Rohit SAN DIEGO — Fish biomass are increasing inside and immediately outside California’s extensive network of Marine Protected Areas, or MPAs. This was one of the takeaways from a Dec. 7 presentation updating the state’s Fish and Game Commission (FGC) on the current state of MPAs. Commissioners are scheduled to conduct its official 5-year review of the MPA at its April 2017 meetings. FGC staff is currently working on a “State of the Region” report, which would be presented to commissioners at the upcoming spring meetings.

Jennifer Caselle, a research biologist with UC Santa Barbara, told commissioners the California MPA network is the world’s largest. She described MPAs as an ecosystem management tool intended to protect and restore marine habitat and infrastructure.

“The resulting network of marine protected areas in California [is] definitely the largest scientific designed network in the United States and globally.

California is a … global leader,” Caselle said.

She added areas outside local MPAs are not subject to overfishing or other resource losses.

“One of the biggest fears stakeholders and others had was that there would be some sort of compaction and overfishing in the outside areas, potentially damaging a lot of resources,” Caselle told commissioners. “We did not see this

While the status update of Southern California’s MPA network was mostly positive Caselle said scientists and

San Diego Report

Offshore bites remain strong but Los Coronados could become part of a reserve

By Bob Vanian SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — The middle of December is here and bluefin tuna are still biting at the Tanner Bank. Nice sized fish in the 40- to 110-pound range continue to provide action. A couple weather systems have passed through the area and the water temperature has dropped from 62.5 degrees in recent weeks, down to the 58.5- to 60.5-degree range. One would think this drop in water temperature would likely cause the bluefin to leave but there must be a lot of good food for them in the area as they are still around.

Recent fish counts on trips targeting bluefin tuna start with Fortune out of 22nd Street Sportfishing. Its 1.5-day trip with 18 anglers caught 13 bluefin tuna, 220 whitefish, 25 rockfish, 2 salmon grouper and 12 sheephead.

Freedom was out on a 1.5-day trip with 27 anglers who caught 8 bluefin tuna, 63 rockfish, 18 sheephead, 20 bonito and 6 yellowtail. Toronado out of Pierpoint Landing had a recent overnight trip aboard with 14 anglers catch 4 bluefin tuna.

The bluefin at the Tanner Bank have been biting during daytime and nighttime hours, with the best time of a 24-hour day being the early morning hours of daylight. The best area to locate bluefin has been along the southeastern edges of the Tanner Bank.

Skippers located the fish by looking for meter marks or sonar marks to stop on and drift.

The best bait for bluefin continues to be live squid. There has also been some action reported on fresh frozen dead squid and on 160 gram to 200 gram Flat Fall jigs in the fluorescent finish. Most of the squid are being caught at the Isthmus at Catalina. At times, live squid has also been available for purchase at some of the Long Beach/San Pedro area bait receivers.

Fishing pressure at Los Coronado Islands has been light, with the most recent reports being of slow surface fishing and good fishing for an assortment of rockfish, whitefish and a few bonus lingcod. One reason few boats have been fishing around Los Coronado Islands might be due to talk of the Mexican government possibly establishing a new marine biosphere

reserve. Los Coronado Islands might be included within this biosphere. At this time not much is known about this situation with the Mexican government and how it might or might not affect fishing around Los Coronado Islands and elsewhere. Some skippers and anglers may well be waiting to get more information about this situation before they head out to fish Los Coronado Islands.

Boats fishing along the San Diego County coast are in a bottom fishing mode and have been finding some good mixed bag fishing for an assortment of rockfish, sheephead, whitefish and a few bass while fishing hard bottom and structure spots. An occasional bonus halibut is also being reported. The surface fishing has been slow with the upper end of La Jolla providing the best chance at scratching out a bonito or yellowtail while fishing the area of Northwest. An area where some halibut have been biting has been while drifting outside of the Border Check Station below San Onofre in 17 to 18 fathoms of water.

Capt. Joe Cacciola of Sea Star with Sea Star Sportfishing reports he found

steady fishing on a mixture of bottom fish, such as rockfish, sheephead, whitefish and bass. He mentioned hard bottom areas outside of Box Canyon, Leucadia, Solana Beach and Del Mar as being productive areas for bottom fishing. He said the water has been green and that it has been running 58 to 59 degrees with favorable downhill current conditions.

December has been pleasantly surprising with bluefin tuna biting and good fishing for rockfish to be found at local islands and at various hard bottom and structure areas along the coast. I hope you get a chance to get out fishing and get in on the fun. Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!

The Dec. 11 half-day charter had 16 anglers aboard who caught 131 rockfish, 12 lingcod and 5 whitefish in addition to the sheephead. The 32 anglers aboard Stardust out of Santa Barbara brought in 157 copper rockfish, 49 lingcod, 46 miscellaneous rockfish, 14 whitefish and 1 sheephead during a three-quarter-day fishing expedition on Dec. 11. Anglers aboard Freedom sportfishing out of 22nd Street Landing in Long Beach caught 8 bluefin tuna during a 1.5-day trip to Tanner Bank. Meanwhile anglers aboard Red Rooster III celebrated this 306-pound yellowfin tuna catch by Ben Kita on Dec. 8.

From page 27

Asian alga was introduced into local waters in 2003, when it was first found in Long Beach Harbor. Devil Weed is a threat to near-shore kelp forests, according to Caselle.

“It has spread incredibly rapidly throughout the near-shore rock habitats of Southern California,” Caselle told commissioners. “It’s blanketing areas that were once lush kelp forests. This is a big concern.”

The South Coast MPA Region was adopted by the FGC in 2010 and stretches from the U.S.-Mexico Border in San Diego to Pt. Conception near Lompoc. There are 50 protected areas and two special closures within the network.

Ocean Science Trust will be host-

ing a series of community meetings to discuss monitoring results ahead of the FGC’s April 2017 meetings. Meetings will be held in Santa Barbara, Malibu, Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego.

Specific dates for each community meeting have not yet been announced.

The presentation of the formal 5-year review in the spring will serve as an endpoint to the current baseline monitoring process. Benét Duncan of Ocean Science Trust said the review process is currently in the synthesizing and sharing of data phase.

State officials and scientists presented the MPA update at the FGC’s Dec. 7 meeting in San Diego.

FGC staff and commissioners will conducted its 5-year review of Southern California’s MPAs at its April 26 and 27 meetings in Los Angeles.

Tight lines — By Parimal M. Rohit Federal water bill heads to White House, could affect fisheries What’s Up: Congress sent a major waterthemed legislation to the White House in mid-December. If signed, the proposal could benefit waterways and fisheries in Southern and Central California.

The Water Resources Development Act, or WRDA, earned majority votes in both the House and Senate during the first two weeks of December, clearing the way for the considerable water infrastructure bill to be placed on Pres.

Barack Obama’s desk for signature.

A provision of the WRDA proposal calls for an increased amount of water to be diverted into Southern and Central California for drought assistance.

Opponents of the proposal, however, are reportedly worried the WRDA’s

section on California would harm fish populations, cost fishery jobs and cut away from the Endangered Species Act. “[Rider language in the WRDA] will result in the loss of thousands of fishery jobs, it will roll back the Endangered Species Act which was signed by President Nixon, and it will also take away power from Congress to approve new dams all over the country,” Sen. Barbara Boxer said in a released statement. “The bill also fails to include strong Buy America requirements.”

The Bottom Line: Addressing drought conditions in California was one of 30 infrastructure improvements the WRDA, if signed into law, hopes to address in coming years. The proposal also has a provision to allocate funding to help rectify the drinking water crisis in Flint, Michigan.

SoCal and Baja’s #1 Source for Fresh and Saltwater Fishing

SALTWATER OCEAN FISHING REPORT

By Terrence Berg 976-TUNA.com TOUGHER CONDITIONS, LIGHT FISHING PRESSURE: The water temperatures have continued to go up and down, depending on the weather, but overall the trend continues downward. Water temperatures at Tanner Bank dropped to 59 degrees the first weekend of December but came back up to 61 degrees by mid-week.

TANNER BANK BLUEFIN: In spite of the cooler water temperatures, squid remain at Tanner Bank, which in turn is keeping the bluefin tuna at the bank in good numbers. The fish also have been showing intermittently throughout the day and evening, not just in low light like the previous week. This bite just refuses to go away. Fortune out of 22nd Street Landing had 20 bluefin on a 1.5-day trip. Oceanside 95 out of Helgren’s Sportfishing had 20 anglers who landed three bluefin. The 1.5-day trip on Dec. 2 on the same boat with 32 anglers had nine bluefin. Tribute out of Seaforth Sportfishing had 27 anglers on its 1.5-day trip on Dec. 2 and landed eight bluefin. These are all 80- to 100-pound or better fish.

CATALINA BITE SLOWING: While a few yellowtail

continue to show at Catalina Island, most of the skippers fishing around the island now are focusing on the very good bottom action. Sport King out of L.A. Harbor Sportfishing was out Dec. 6 with six anglers and landed 32 red snapper, 13 sheephead, 10 cocaccio, eight rockfish, six lingcod and three whitefish.

ROCKFISH EVERYWHERE: While the surface bites are finally slowing down, the rockfish action has been excellent. This season only lasts through the end of the month. The bite has been particularly good up in the Channel Islands where most boats are reporting limits or near-limits with windy, rough conditions frequently being the limiting factor. Mirage out of Channel Islands Sportfishing was on an overnight trip with 18 anglers and landed 180 rockfish (limits), 39 lingcod, nine whitefish and seven sheephead. Even the San Diego to Los Angeles county boats saw good fishing. New Del Mar out of Marina del Rey Sportfishing had a half-day trip the afternoon of Dec. 7. The 21 anglers on board had 91 rockfish and two sheephead.

INSTRUCTIONAL CHARTERS: The last of the 976-TUNA instructional charters for 2016 has been completed. These trips are held from early spring through early fall, offering advice to beginning or veteran anglers and on-the-water teaching of techniques for different saltwater species. These trips will resume in spring. For more information,
