NOAA to discontinue paper nautical charts by 2025 Federal agency announces plan to transition to use of the “Custom Chart.”

WASHINGTON, D.C.—It’s a sign of the times: those paper nautical charts you get from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will be completely obsolete within five years. A three-part sunset strategy will be implemented, allowing the federal agency to do away with paper nautical charts by January 2025 and instead offer boaters the “NOAA Custom Chart.”

Eliminating paper nautical charts are part of a plan to provide boaters with “the most up-to-date data for marine navigation,” according to NOAA staff.

NOAA announced the sunset of paper nautical charts in a formal, 18-page document on Nov. 14.

Replacing the paper nautical charts is what NOAA calls an “alternative paper product.” The alternative paper product, called NOAA Custom Chart (NCC), would be “a slightly different looking nautical chart product,” according to NOAA staff.

NOAA began reviewing the efficiency of paper nautical charts in November 2017 as part of a National Charting Plan. A decision was ulti-

Paper nautical charts will be phased out during the next five years, with NOAA moving to the “Custom Chart” by January 2025. NOAA staff said the elimination of paper nautical chart means boaters would now have the most up-to-date data for marine navigation.

mately made to sunset the paper charts and transition to use of Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) products.

“To facilitate the transition of paper and raster chart users, and other stakeholders to Electronic Navigational Charts … based products, NOAA is soliciting feedback from chart users and commercial entities that provide navigational products and services based on NOAA raster chart and ENC products,” NOAA staff stated in its official announcement. “Information gathered from these discussions will inform and shape the manner and timing in which the sunset process will proceed.”

The phase-out of paper navigational charts will be conducted in three steps: improve the consistency and detail of ENCs; promote use of paper charts based on ENC data; and, an “orderly shutdown” of traditional NOAA paper and other raster nautical charts.

There are more than 1,200 ENCs and 1,000 paper nautical charts within NOAA’s library, ranging from overview charts for voyage planning to largescale “berthing” charts.

Paper and raster nautical charts will be systematically cancelled between 2020 and 2023. Final modifications to NOAA websites and ENC production

will be made in 2024. All remaining paper/raster nautical charts still in production after 2023 will be cancelled in 2024, according to NOAA staff.

“The criteria for canceling individual charts are still being developed,” NOAA staff stated. “No comprehensive schedule, list or prioritization of pending chart cancelations will be published. However, when a chart is identified for cancelation, the printon-demand version of the chart will be updated with a note stating that it is the last edition of the chart and it will be canceled six to 12 months later.”

Some of the criteria NOAA staff might use to determine the cancelation of a paper nautical chart include: whether a new, larger-scale ENC is available; volume of individual chart

sales; and, new depth or shoreline data is applied or compiled for a corresponding ENC. “Some cancelations may be regionally based, especially if all of most of a particular chart’s adjoining similar-scale chart coverage is canceled,” NOAA staff added.

NCCs – the NOAA Custom Chart – are offered online and allows users to create their own charts from the latest ENC data.

“Users may define the scale and paper size of custom-made nautical charts centered on a position of their choosing,” NOAA staff stated. NCC is an easy way to create a paper or digital backup for electronic chart systems or other Global Positioning System … enabled chart displays.”

ARCTIC OCEAN—Europebased yacht designer George Lucian has designed a super yacht for both pleasure and purpose.

Lucian recently released design planes for Fata Morgana, Italian for “a mirage.” Designed to sail in Arctic areas, such as the Northwest Passage, the luxurious yacht is meant to raise awareness about the irreversible effects of climate change that take place in the arctic areas, including melting ice caps. Just as its name suggests, it is meant to look like the rocks and snow found in the Arctic Ocean.

Business Insider reported it could cost up to $110 million to build, if it is ever made – it is still only a concept.

Lucian said the yacht would be as environmentally friendly as possible, with as low as possible emissions and waste. The super yacht would have a range of 7,000 nautical miles and features a kite to help save fuel.

The vessel would also contribute to research. The yacht design includes devices which would constantly monitor the ocean’s temperature and com-

News Briefs From page 4

Meanwhile, a report by the U.N. weather agency released on the sidelines of the climate talks found that the current decade is likely to set a new 10-year temperature record.

Preliminary temperature measurements show the years from 2015 to 2019 and from 2010 to 2019 “are, respectively, almost certain to be the warmest five-year period and decade on record,” the World Meteorological Organization said.

“Since the 1980s, each successive decade has been warmer than the last,” the agency said.

While full-year figures aren’t released until next March, 2019 is also expected to be the second or third warmest year since measurements began, with 2016 still holding the all-time temperature record, it said.

This year was hotter than average in most parts of the world, including the Arctic. “In contrast a large area of North America has been colder than the recent average,” the U.N. said.

The World Meteorological Organization’s annual report, which brings together data from numerous national weather agencies and research organizations, also highlighted the impacts of climate change including declining sea ice and rising sea levels, which reached their highest level this year since high-precision measurements began in 1993.

High-tech tag helps scientists measure blue whale’s heart rate MONTEREY BAY (UPI)—Scientists have for the first time measured the heart rate of the world’s largest animal, the blue whale. Researchers accomplished the feat – reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Journal – with a retrievable tag packed full of sensors.

Scientists previously tested their tag on captive whales, but researchers weren’t sure they were going to be able to successfully attach to the underside of a blue whale in the wild.

“We had no idea that this would work and we were skeptical even when we saw the initial data. With a very keen eye, Paul Ponganis – our collaborator from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography – found the first heart beats in the data,” lead study author Jeremy Goldbogen, assistant professor of biology at Stanford University, said in a news release. “There were a lot of high fives and victory laps around the lab.”

The researchers recorded nine hours of information on a 22-meter-long male from the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California.The tag’s data suggests the blue whale’s heart is working at maximum capacity, which may explain why no animal has evolved to outgrow the blue whale.

The massive marine mammal is likely the largest body the heart can support.

According to the newly recorded data, the whale’s heart slowed to just a few beats per minute during deep dives. When the whale surfaced to breathe and recover, its heart rate accelerated to 40 beats per minute. Researchers didn’t expect the heart’s slowest rate to be so slow, nor did they expect the heart rate’s peak to be so fast.

The Log • Dec. 13 - Dec. 26, 2019 • 5

The observations could help scientists better understand how the planet’s largest animals evolve the necessary physiology to support such extreme dimensions.

Researchers now hope to boost the tag’s technology by adding an accelerometer and repeating the feat.

“A lot of what we do involves new technology and a lot of it relies on new ideas, new methods and new approaches,” said David Cade, a recent graduate of the Goldbogen Lab. “We’re always looking to push the boundaries of how we can learn about these animals.”

Man using magnet fishes WWIera grenade from Michigan river GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP)—A magnet-wielding angler has fished a World War I-era grenade from a western Michigan river.

WOOD-TV reports the angler found the explosive Nov. 26 after dangling the magnet from a bridge in the Grand River in Grand Rapids.

Joseph Alexander told the television station he “thought it looked like a grenade, but not one” he’d seen before.

Alexander said he posted photos of it online and people commented that it was a grenade and he should call police.

Grand Rapids police say the device is a “German Granatenwerfer” and that it will be stored until detonated safely. Sgt. John Wittkowski said since the device was so old and had been submerged for a long time it likely was no longer very dangerous.

Alexander said magnet fishing is a hobby.

LOCAL Record 74.4-foot wave recorded off California coast MENDOCINO, California—The “bomb cyclone” that slammed into Northern California’s coast Thanksgiving week generated some of the largest waves recorded

by Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) buoys.

A monstrous 74.4-foot wave was recorded roughly 20 miles off the coast of Cape Mendocino in Northern California on Nov. 27, according to CDIP. CDIP said in a tweet the storm generated some of the largest waves ever recorded by CDIP buoys. Scripps monitors about a half-dozen buoys off the coast of California that measure wave height. Some of the buoys have collected more than two decades of data; the Cape Mendocino location has over 15 years’ worth. The program found the average height of “significant” waves do not typically exceed 10 feet during the winter months.

Fortunately, the National Weather Service called off boaters from entering the water.

A “bomb cyclone” refers to a steep drop in air pressure within a storm in a matter of hours, causing 74-95 mph winds. Over Thanksgiving week, the storm dumped rain and snow on the West Coast and set low – pressure records in northern California and parts of Oregon, according to the National Weather Service.

Billy Knickerbocker nails it. I’m not sure why some people have such a hard-on for hull cleaners, but they do. This guy Tom Rega is clearly one of them. The inference that divers intentionally remove anti fouling paint in order to increase fouling on their customer’s boats (and thereby increase business) is ludicrous at best and ignorant at worst.

We are new to the Avalon community. We sailed our boat from San Francisco, and loved it so much we permanently moved our boat to Long Beach so we can visit Avalon monthly! The Casino is a major focal point of Catalina’s charm! I think it needs more advertising and posting of costs. I also like the idea of ordering food and beverages as you go in, and for them to be delivered quietly as the film is getting started… the movie closure would take away some of Avalon’s charm.

Please listen to ideas from the community on how to keep it open.

Letters/Online Comments

SAN DIEGO—Eight lighthouses were built on the Pacific Coast during the mid-1800s. One of those lighthouses – the Old Point Loma Lighthouse – is still standing a few miles away from Downtown San Diego. The lighthouse had a steady run from its inception in 1854 until its last days in 1891. By 1913 the lighthouse became part of the Cabrillo National Monument, but the historic building became functional again in the 1940s, when the Navy used it as a signal tower.

One of the reasons the Old Point Loma Lighthouse didn’t last too long: it was considered to be highest of all lighthouses in the United States, located 422 feet above sea level. A narrative about the Old Point Loma Lighthouse published by the National Park Service stated the high elevation was likely the reason for the building’s downfall.

“Point Loma Lighthouse … had not been in service long before it was obvious that its elevation would be its undoing; too often its light was obscured by fog and low clouds,” the National Park Service narrative about Old Point Loma

Lighthouse stated.

The old lighthouse had 11 principal keepers and 22 assistant keepers in its 36 years of operation, according to the National Park Service.

“Low pay, isolation, distance from town and water collection likely influenced the high turnover,” the National Park Service narrative of the Old Point Loma Lighthouse stated.“The last keeper at the old lighthouse was Robert Israel. He stayed for 18 years and then transferred to the new Point Loma Lighthouse and stayed there one more year.”

A new lighthouse was built at a lower elevation in March 1891. There was actually a directive to demolish the old lighthouse altogether in 1913. The Old Point Loma Lighthouse, however, was popular with tourists. There was also a movement in 1913 to build a statue commemorating Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, who had sailed into San Diego in the 1500s.

It only made sense, apparently, to create a national monument at the old lighthouse – and build a statue on the land. The statue was never built at the lighthouse, however. But Cabrillo National Monument still exists and thousands of people visit the Old Point Loma Lighthouse.

fully) not-too-distant future. The Log is now the only publication under the Duncan McIntosh Co. banner.

Lindsey Glasgow, The Log’s writer and reporter, and I are the only journalists left standing at our company.

Here’s an assurance: Lindsey and I will continue to be the dogged journalists that we are, continuing to report the news and stories you care about the most. Journalism might be dying but it is not dead. The Log is still dedicated to accurately reporting the facts, keeping the powers that be as honest as possible and sharing stories of the people who make the boating industry so special.

Southern California is a boating haven. I admittedly came to The Log in the summer of 2014 with absolutely no idea of what I was getting myself into – I didn’t own a boat or have boating experience, I only went on one fishing trip (a school trip to Catalina in 1987) and I never held a job in Orange County. So covering recreational boating and fishing was completely foreign to me. The learning curve was steep, to be sure – but I learned so much, both about myself and about the worlds of boating and fishing. Fast-forward more than five years and I fully embrace the Southern California boating scene. Every interaction I’ve had with our readers has been special. The stories are always heart-warming, the feedback always candid and the friendships forged, always sincere.

Aiding my learning curve and growth as a maritime writer: having the team who put Boating World and Sea Magazine together every month sit a few feet away from my cubicle – first located in Irvine, and, then, Fountain Valley. As of two weeks ago, Southern California’s maritime journalism space feels … empty. The words I’m writing here, accordingly, are so hard to utter.

The Log is now the go-to publication for Southern California boating (with a dash of sailing and sprinkle of fishing). Losing Sea Magazine and Boating World, however, is no small matter. I’m obviously hopeful another publisher will come along and pick up the pieces like nothing ever happened.

The maritime industry can’t afford to lose any publications, especially ones as reputable and long-standing as Boating World and Sea Magazine.

Sea Magazine, for example, has been around for about 111 years and has been the voice of boating trends in the Western United States. The publication provided equipment reports and product news. Boating World, meanwhile, catered toward the lifestyle of boating, covering activities such as cruising, fishing and waterskiing.

Both publications combined for 21 print publications each year. The future of those publications, as we are less than 20 days away from a new decade, remains in flux as we put out this latest issue of The Log. The only thing we can assure you, our readers, is we will use this as an opportunity to

The Log • Dec. 13 - Dec. 26, 2019 • 7

expand our coverage. The Log is not an orphan despite losing its immediate family. We are still here, ready to take on a higher calling and deliver our readers the best journalism possible.

Yes, the media business is hurting. We’re not happy about being the last publication standing under our banner. But we still have the resources to continue reporting on the maritime world. The loss of Boating World and Sea Magazine isn’t the end of the road – it’s merely one door closing and another one opening. We hope you’ll continue to trust and support The Log as we step up our game and fill a larger space with quality reporting and meaningful storytelling.

NEWPORT BEACH—A proposed mixed-use development in Newport Beach’s Mariners Mile – a 1.3-mile stretch known as the nautical heart of Newport Beach – has resurfaced.

In November, the city began the process for conducting an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed Newport Village project.

The proposed private development project by MX3 Ventures – MSM Global involves approximately 9.4 acres on the north and south sides of West Coast Highway in the 2000 and 2200 blocks. The north parcel is situated between the Holiday Inn and Novamar Insurance and the south parcel is between a multi-commercial development and the Boy Scout’s Newport Sea Base.

The proposal involves building 108 apartment units, 14 for-sale condominiums, a car showroom, a boat showroom, office and retail space, 827 parking spots and a new publicly accessible waterfront promenade. All the structures except A’maree’s and an office/vehicle sales building at 2244 West Coast Highway would be demolished and remodeled.

Design plans also include changes to the marina, including adding headwalk sections and a new gangway.

A mix of retail, marine-related commercial, boat rental, service uses, office, and surface parking lots currently sit on the site. Sun County Marine Group, Silver Seas Yachts and Duffy Electric Boat Sales and Rentals are all current tenants and would have the option to stay, according to project developer and CEO of MX3 Ventures Manouch Moshayedi.

“Our goal was to keep all of our

tenants once the project is done,” Moshayedi said.

Bob Hunt, president of Duffy Electric Boat Sales and Rentals, said they have signed long-term leases with Moshayedi and would be part of Newport Village, should it come to fruition.

“We don’t feel we will be harmed,” Hunt said.

Mariners Mile has been in the city’s sights for revitalization for some time but has not come without opposition.

In 2011, the City Council designated it as one of six “revitalization areas” in Newport Beach. According to previous reporting in The Log, in 2014, the city hired a consulting firm and held public workshops on revitalizing the area only to have the plans quashed several months later.

Newport Beach, in 20162017, funded a “Mariner’s Mile Revitalization” planning effort, but it was ultimately scrapped due to opposition from stakeholders and residents.

Moshayedi, meanwhile, said he started purchasing property in the area in 2010. In 2017, he submitted an application for a mixed-use development at the site and revised plans were submitted a year later in 2018, according to city records. Moshayedi said the original plans of a 600,000 square-foot development met all zoning requirements but was scaled back after a year of meetings with the community. He said the current project proposal is half the size, 300,000 square feet, of his original plans.

Moshayedi said with California’s growing housing shortage, almost every city is looking at ways to add more places to live. He also said the area currently does not provide any accessible public space.

“It doesn’t make sense to keep this valuable piece of property the way it

The Log • Dec. 13 - Dec. 26, 2019 • 9

is,” Moshayedi said. “It should be made into something everybody can use.”

City staff said they are still in the early stages of reviewing the proposal and one of the first steps includes the EIR process.

“We are still developing our analysis of the project,” Newport Beach Senior Planner Makana Nova said. “We don’t have a specific opinion or recommendation on the project.”

As part of the EIR process, the city held a public scoping meeting on Nov. 20. Many residents and community members attending the meeting voiced concerns about an increase in traffic and noise, the development obstructing views of the bay and the ability for the area to support public services, such as schools, to an influx of people.

Nova said all of those things will be studied in the EIR. “The scope and appearance of the project is not consistent with a small beach town community,” said Peggy Palmer, who is part of the Coalition to Protect Mariner’s Mile.

Palmer said the coalition has about

2,000 members concerned about the development.

Another related concern voiced by the community, one that is not part of the project plans but the city’s, is the widening of West Coast Highway to six lanes. The expansion of West Coast Highway has been part of the city’s General Plan, which is currently undergoing review. The widening of West Coast Highway has faced strong opposition from residents and businesses in the area.

Nova said at the Nov. 20 scooping meeting, the EIR is factoring the city’s intention of widening West Coast Highway.

A draft of the EIR is expected to be available for public review in summer of 2020. There will then be a 45-day public review period before a public hearing before the Newport Beach Planning Commission.

The project would still have other hoops to jump through before it could begin construction, including getting a Coastal Development Permit from the California Coastal Commission.

Avalon increases liability coverage for moored vessels

L.A. County approves agreement for vessel removal and disposal

What Happened: In spring 2019, city staff began a systematic assessment of its Public Liability Insurance requirements and the processes and procedures for verifying insurance submitted by the city’s various leasees, permit holders, contractors, and vendors but were remiss in including vessels that utilize Avalon Harbor, according to staff report from Avalon City Manager Denise Radde.

The city worked in cooperation with Public Agency Risk Sharing Authority of California (PARSAC), and the city attorney and it was determined the best way to proceed would be to amend the existing city ordinance that outlines the requirements for vessel owners and operators that hold mooring permits, which had not been updated since 2011. Due to an increase in liability claims made in Avalon Harbor, PARSAC recommended the ordinance increase the coverage limit of all vessels from $300,000 to $500,000 Watercraft Liability Insurance or Protection and Indemnity (P&l).

On Dec. 3, the City Council voted in favor of amending the ordinance.

What Happened: The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved an agreement, Dec. 3, to allow the Sheriff’s Department to remove and dispose of vessels from county waterways on an as-needed basis.

The agreement is with the department’s Marina del Rey station for a five-year term.

“Each year, approximately 30 vessels generally in a poor state of repair and seaworthiness are abandoned by the owners,” county staff said in a report to the Board of Supervisors. “The size of the vessels varies; however, most of the removed vessels are 20-30 feet long. The department is charged with responsibly removing and disposing of the vessels under the California Harbors and Navigation Code Sections 510 through 527, and under Los Angeles County Code Section 19.12.1070, due to such vessels potentially creating a health and safety hazard.”

What’s On Tap: Vessel owners who hold a mooring permit or use a mooring as a guest or anchor in city waters for more than 15 consecutive days between Nov. 1 and March 30 will be required to provide proof of current and valid P&I or Watercraft Liability with limits of at least $500,000.

Radde said at the Dec. 3 City Council meeting it will cost vessel owners approximately $18-25 a year more.

-- Lindsey Glasgow

What’s On Tap: County staff said the Marina del Rey Sheriff’s Station “is in the process of accepting and executing a grant award from the Fiscal Year … 201920 DBW SAVE Program.”

This will be the thirteenth year MDR Station has received grant funds,” county staff stated in their report to supervisors. “The grant award will subvent MDR Station’s cost to eliminate abandoned and submerged vessels from county waterways, and to assist registered owners of recreational vessels who desire to surrender a vessel through the SAVE Program.”

County staff added the grant funding would not be used to remove, store or dispose of vessels where the most recent documentation or registration is commercial.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers decided to keep the Long Beach Breakwater in place. Any changes to the breakwater would have to help restore and expand aquatic habitats within the Southern California Bight.

Long Beach Breakwater will remain intact U.S. Army Corps of Engineers won’t remove offshore barrier, ending a multi-year study.

LONG BEACH—Hang Zero. Such will be the phrase uttered by local surfers after an attempt to have the breakwater off the coast of Long Beach removed ended in failure in November. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, after studying the request for several years, announced it would not remove the offshore, wave-control barrier just off the Long Beach shoreline.

Army Corps staff stated any modifications to Long Beach Breakwater would pose a national security risk.

Surfrider Foundation had spearheaded a campaign to remove the breakwater, hoping the offshore barrier’s removal would result in more wave action on the Long Beach coast.

The foundation’s campaign specifically called for either the sinking of the breakwater or a reconfiguration of the offshore barrier.

Any alteration of Long Beach Breakwater – which is the easternmost of three breakwaters just south of the Long Beach/San Pedro coast – would also help restore and expand aquatic habitats along this stretch of the Southern California Bight, according to a draft report released by the Army Corp.

The Long Beach coast was once a destination for surfers, but the Hang Ten-worthy waves disappeared after the Army Corps built a series of breakwaters just beyond the local harbor area. The Army Corps ultimately decided to not make any changes to Long Beach Breakwater, instead proposing a plan to restore and expand aquatic habitats in the area with eelgrass beds, kelp reefs and rocky reefs.

Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia said he was disappointed by the Army Corps’ decision. The city, he said, spent 14 years trying to find a way to reconfigure Long Beach Breakwater.

Reconfiguring and restoring the

breakwater, Garcia added, would have benefited the local ecosystem.

“I am incredibly disappointed with the results and conclusions made by the Army Corps. I’ve agreed with many members of the community who believe that modifications to the breakwater could lead to ecosystem restoration, better water quality and recreational opportunities,” Garcia said in an official statement. “I was hopeful that breakwater modification was possible while protecting coastal homes and our port complex.

“However, I have always said that we should be guided by the science and the data,” Garcia continued. “The Army Corps’ conclusion that any modification to the breakwater poses a national security risk is substantial and must be taken seriously.”

City officials offered to foot most of the $3 million bill to modify Long Beach Breakwater. The extension of a financial olive branch wasn’t incentive enough, however, to convince the Army Corps to move forward with Long Beach’s breakwater modification plans.

So, what’s next? The Army Corps will spend the next few weeks seeking public comment. A draft plan of what the Army Corps might do is available for review through Jan. 27, 2020. Comments and questions can be submitted to ESPB@usace.army.mil or by calling Naeem Siddiqui, who is with the Army Corps’ ecosystem planning section, at 213-452-4204. Anyone sending an email to the address above should write “East San Pedro Ecosystem Restoration Feasibility Study Draft IFR Review Comments” in the subject line.

Two public meetings were already held at the Aquarium of the Pacific on Dec. 9.

Coronado sand replenishment project withdrawn from Coastal Commission meeting Will proposed five-year program to assist with shoreline improvements be on an agenda again in the near future?

A proposed five-year sand replenishment program for Coronado was withdrawn from California Coastal Commission November agenda. Pictured is a stretch of sand on a Coronado beach, across from Downtown San Diego.

HALF MOON BAY — A proposal to implement a five-year sand replenishment program in Coronado was scheduled to be heard at the California Coastal Commission’s November meetings in Half Moon Bay. The proposal, however, was withdrawn from the meeting agenda. No indication yet as to when, if ever, the proposal would be back on a future Coastal Commission agenda.

The five-year sand replenishment program, according to Coastal Commission staff, would have capitalized on “opportunities to obtain surplus sand from upland construction, development or dredging projects as they arise, and to place the sand along the shoreline through a streamlined process, instead of losing the material to an inland disposal site.”

Coronado had sought and obtained the Coastal Commission’s approval for a five-year sand replenishment program in 2010; the program expired in 2015 and was never used to implement any replenishment projects.

“The city of Coronado is proposing an opportunist sand replenishment program to allow for the processing of multiple beach replenishment projects over a five-year period,” Coastal Commission staff stated. “The proposed project would allow the placement of up to a maximum 100,000 cubic yards of opportunistic sand annually, placed on both the North Reach and South Reach of Coronado Beach between Naval Air Station and the Naval Amphibious Base, seaward of Ocean Boulevard.”

Any sand replenishment project – assuming one is ultimately presented to and approved by the Coastal

Commission – would be vetted through several stages of review.

The initial review would call for an assessment of pollutants, contaminants, grain size and color. A more stringent review by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would be the next review phase.

Coronado’s Planning Department and the Coastal Commission would be involved with the final stages of review, according to a Coastal Commission staff report.

Other agencies possibly involved with the review process would be the State Lands Commission and Regional Water Quality Control Board.

The public would have to be notified, as well, before any sand replenishment project moves forward.

The city would also be required to conduct pre- and post-construction surveys and other reports.

Grunion monitoring was part of the proposal, with biologists expected to conduct checks for predicted runs at least 30 minutes prior to and two hours after the start of each (expected) daily spawning event.

“At the end of each year, an assessment of the effects (both beneficial and adverse) from all beach fill projects conducted during the year will be presented to the permitting agencies,” Coastal Commission staff stated in a report to commissioners. “This analysis will serve as the bases for any modifications that can be made to optimize the program and serve as a consideration to extend the permit at the end of five years.”

It’s unknown, however, when the clock on the five-year project term would start, if at all, as Coronado’s proposal was withdrawn from the agenda, shortly before it was scheduled to be considered by commissioners on Nov. 14.

Boater Bars: A Place to Bond and Connect Yacht clubs aren’t the only place for boat owners to socialize. There are jaunts on the waterfront where boaters can just have a drink and talk about their latest sail.

Parimal M. Rohit photo

By Parimal M. Rohit

Boater culture varies from marina to marina – including the places boaters like to patronize for a drink and good banter. Shenanigans Irish Pub & Grille at Rainbow Harbor is one of those places where some Long Beach boaters go to have drink and share stories of their most recent sailing expeditions.

LONG BEACH—Parimal M. Rohit, The Log’s editor, returned to Shoreline Marina in Downtown Long Beach to meet up with Sales Director Kevin Davis (who lives aboard his boat, Indy Sent Lady, with his wife) and engage in another banter about boating. Messrs.

Rohit and Davis met near Shoreline Yacht Club on a chilly Southern California evening and walked over to Shenanigan’s Irish Pub & Grille at Rainbow Harbor and engaged in a discussion about boater’s bars. Below is their discussion – after you’ve read their conversation, chime in and share your favorite jaunts (and why you love your go-to boater’s bar).

They also give boaters discounts, as well – great place to go hang out after you’ve been out on the water, or just want to grab something to eat. Great place to go catch a football game. The fact it’s so convenient to the marina here, it’s a great little place.

Parimal M. Rohit: Let’s talk about bar hangouts and boaters. What’s the bar here in Long Beach where all the boaters go to?

PMR: So there’s some extra yarn being added!

PMR: I’m assuming the fact that Shenanigan’s is a boater bar, there are plenty of boaters here sharing boating stories.

KD: If you’ve been out all day you can come in and have a few stories, maybe throw a few down – the stories become better.

PMR: What makes it a boater’s bar?

KD: Absolutely! There’s nothing like going out on the water when, you know, when the wind is 20 knots and it was actually only seven. You’re barely treading water. But people share stories, talk about their boats. We talk about what it’s like to own a boat, what it’s like to live on a boat.

KD: Well, it’s right here on the marina.

PMR: Are there ever conversations on

Kevin Davis: Where we go to is Shenanigan’s, over here in Rainbow Harbor. It’s a great little Irish bar, great boater’s bar.

something more technical, like maintenance or repairs?

KD: A little bit, yeah. You’re not going to get too technical in a bar, because there are drinks being thrown. People might think they’re getting technical, but not so much. People will share things about sailing techniques and things like that, how to set your sail.

But it’s also about stories. It’s not just the stories of the day but stories of places you sailed to [and] went to. It’s also a great place for people coming and going from Catalina, as well.

PMR: Is there a certain personality or characteristic that distinguishes a boater bar from any other bar out there?

KD: A little bit. You gotta have a little more salt to it, little bit more personality.

Because it’s a boater’s bar, you don’t want a lot of niceties. And, of course, the characters that come and go.

PMR: Do boater’s bars vary from marina to marina or all they all sort of the same?

thelog.com

The Log • Dec. 13 - Dec. 26, 2019 • 15

PMR: Beyond the bars, what other areas in or around the marina are the great social places for boaters to patronize and spend their time?

KD: We got a great ice cream shop, got a number of restaurants here to go and eat. If you live on a boat, like we do, it’s nice to go somewhere and get off the boat. For us, it’s going out, it’s date night or getting off to go have breakfast and coming up to watch the football game.

PMR: What is the interaction between boaters and non-boaters at a boater’s bar?

KD: I think there are a lot of people out there that have that dream of owning a boat, living on a boat, sailing a boat, and so if the conversation starts up with someone … and they find out

that we’re liveaboards, the first thing out of their mouth is, “Oh my God, I’ve always wanted to do that.” And then, of course, they ask you lots and lots of questions about what it’s like, how do you deal with this, how do you deal with that. For us, it’s just a normal way of life. For a lot of people … just like we did, when we first thought about it, we thought it was a dream that was not necessarily reachable.

PMR: How would you distinguish a boater’s bar from a yacht club?

Historical PHOTO

Mutiny on the Bounty

Catalina Island Museum photo

KD: I think they do [vary from marina to marina]. It depends upon … [on] the types of boats and where you’re located at; we’re here in Long Beach, you go to a boater’s bar in Newport Beach – it’s going to be a little different, just because of the folks that are in Newport versus the folks here in Long Beach. You’re going to have a variety.

Even the boater’s bars that you find in more of the B.V.I. and places like that, [it’s] much different, more along the lines of the environment of the area.

KD: Well I don’t have to pay a membership fee to go to the bar. They have very similar characteristics. The yacht clubs are little bit more structured.

You’re going to see a lot of the same people [at a yacht club], whereas at a bar you’re going to get a variety of individuals.

PMR: What do you love most about spending time at a boater’s bar?

KD: I think it’s a little of everything, honestly. You get the people, and you’re in a social environment. Let’s face it, that’s what a bar is about. And then you throw some good food in play and you get some great atmosphere … you’re just kind of hanging out, enjoying the day or the afternoon or the evening.

Avalon Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment report released According to the report, if a 100-year storm were to hit under 6 feet of SLR, flooding would cover a majority of Catalina Island Casino.

AVALON — Potential impacts of sea level rise in Avalon were laid out in a report accepted by the City Council on Nov.5.

The vulnerability assessment analyzes potential impacts to coastal resources across multiple sea level rise (SLR) scenarios.

“Understanding potential impacts to these resources as coastal hazards continue to evolve is a crucial step in enhancing the resilience of the City to future hazard conditions,” the Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment prepared for the city of Avalon by Moffatt & Nichol stated.

Potential timing for SLR values used in the study were based on the probabilistic projections for Los Angeles and included in the 2018 California Ocean Protection Council (OPC) SLR guidance. The OPC Science Advisory Taskforce projects the “likely range” of SLR between 0.5 to 1.0 feet to happen in the 2050 time horizon and the likely range of 1.3 to 3.2 feet SLR at the 2100 time horizon.

Based on OPC guidance, 4 feet to 6 feet of SLR is unlikely to occur until the end of the century or beyond.

According to the report prepared for the city, a key component of SLR vulnerability is the potential for increased hazard impacts at the Cabrillo Mole, the primary point of entry for visitors arriving by boat.

Non-storm tidal flood projections for the Cabrillo Mole indicated a low hazard exposure for SLR scenarios less than 4 feet.

A 100-year wave crest elevations under the 4 feet and 6 feet SLR scenarios are projected to result in significantly more flooding of the deck and would likely result in major damage to the buildings and other amenities located on top of the mole.

However the report prepared for the city stated: “There would likely be a new or significantly modified wharf structure in place before sea level rise exceeds 4 feet.”

The report prepared for the city described the impact of projected non-storm flood impact across Avalon as minimal with 2 feet of SLR, which would reduce some the sandy beach areas in the low-lying areas of Descanso Bay, Avalon Bay, and Pebbly Beach Road. Public beaches below the seawalls in Avalon Bay and Descanso Bay are projected to become completely submerged under high tide conditions with 4 feet of SLR. Under 100-year storm conditions, flood projections increase noticeably

in the 2 feet SLR scenario and become extensive under the 4 feet SLR scenario along the low-lying Avalon Bay waterfront and Pebbly Beach Road utilities area.

“SLR hazards are also likely to disrupt the delivery of critical services until flood conditions subside or necessary repairs can be made,” the report prepared for the city stated. “This is especially true for those structures along the immediate shoreline that are projected to become subject to frequent tidal flooding and damage during extreme events, such as the Avalon Freight Services facility.”

Wave overtopping is projected to extend above the coastal seawall and into recreational use areas under

all SLR scenarios examined under 100-year storm conditions in Descanso Bay. Storm flooding is projected to increase significantly under the 4-foot SLR scenario, covering the entirety of the sandy beach area above the seawall and impacting major coastal structures such as the Descanso Beach Club.

Pile supported structures such as the Catalina Island Yacht Club, Tuna Club, and Green Pleasure Pier are also susceptible to increased wave action.

According to the report prepared for the city, if a 100-year storm were to hit under 6 feet of SLR, flooding would

Three dining tenants approved for Seaport Village revitalization Port of San Diego expects the trio of restaurants to bring $1.75 million in revenue during next decade.

The re-packaged future of San Diego’s Seaport Village is beginning to take shape, as three restaurants were approved to fill in spaces on the downtown waterfront.

By Parimal M. Rohit SAN DIEGO — A brewery, pizza joint and coffee shop will soon have a presence at Seaport Village, thanks to a series of leases approved by the Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners on Nov. 5.

Commissioners specifically approved lease terms for Mike Hess Brewing, Mr. Moto Pizza and Spill the Beans. Each dining establishment is expected to be operational and open to the public in 2020. The three dining businesses are expected to generate $1.75 million over 10 years in cumulative cash flow for the port district.

“The proposed leases would allow the [port] district to achieve its objectives of securing high-caliber, catalyst tenants to increase occupancy, gener-

ate greater momentum and energy for the shopping center and secure higher revenue,” port district staff said in a report to commissioners. “The board’s adoption will also demonstrate to prospective tenants in the visitor serving commercial market that Seaport Village has viable and attractive leasing opportunities that are competitive and worth pursuing.”

Mike Hess Brewing was described by port district staff as “one of San Diego’s first craft brewers. The restaurant would feature a beer tasting room, patio area and full-service restaurant.

Port district staff stated they negotiated a 10-year lease with one five-year option.

Mr. Moto Pizza will serve New Yorkstyle pizza at Seaport Village; it will be adjacent to Mike Hess Brewing and will offer pickup, delivery and in-restaurant dining. The restaurant features

cover a majority of Catalina Island Casino.

The report prepared for the city said exposure to daily tidal fluctuations and extreme storm events at all mooring and boating infrastructure located throughout Avalon Bay, Descanso Bay and Hamilton Cove is not expected to change with SLR, except that the typical tidal range and extreme storm events will occur at higher elevations.

As sea levels rise, the mooring lines

a waterfront patio for dine-in guests.

The port district negotiated a 10.5-year lease with two 2-year options, giving Mr. Moto Pizza up to 14.5 years at Seaport Village.

Spill the Beans is expected to open its second location at Seaport Village, thanks to the port district’s board action; the specialty coffee and bagel shop already operates a storefront in San Diego’s Gaslamp District. The port district will enter into a 10-year lease agreement with Spill the Beans.

The port district assumed ownership of Seaport Village on Oct. 1, 2018.

Seaport Village, according to port district staff, “is a tourist-oriented retail shopping center consisting of approximately 90,000 square feet of specialty retailers, restaurants, outdoor entertainment and parking on an approximately 14-acre bayfront site located at 849 West Harbor Drive.”

The center is home to Tuna Harbor and is adjacent to Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina and Embarcadero Marina Park North.

The port district has lease agreements with 61 tenants at Seaport Village; there were 17 vacancies at the time the port’s board considered the leases for Mike Hess Brewing, Mr. Moto Pizza and Spill the Beans.

“Most of these vacancies are concentrated in the East Village area of Seaport Village, now referred to as the ‘Lighthouse District,’” port district staff said in a report to commissioners. “The current tenant mix is comprised of 41 retail tenants, 16 food and beverage tenants (including restaurants, walk-up cafes and specialty foods), and one second-floor office tenant for related Seaport Village projects.”

Other improvements at Seaport Village include free live music daily, a weekly speaker series and mixer, and podcast recordings on San Diego history and marine ecology.

will need to be modified to account for higher water levels, according to the report prepared for the city.

The report prepared for the city said flood hazards are the primary driver of coastal SLR vulnerability within the city, but additional hazards include erosion, shoreline migration, and changes in groundwater depth.

Avalon’s report will be used to create future planning efforts and adaptation measures. At the Dec. 3 City Council meeting, council members voted to authorize the city manager to enter into a contract with Moffat & Nichol to develop a comprehensive Sea Level Rise and Climate Change Adaptation Plan for the Transportation Infrastructure.

“These adaptation planning goals and strategies will be evaluated in more detail and refined with input from the community to inform an Adaptation Plan that outlines specific policies, programs and projects that can be implemented to mitigate the impacts identified in this vulnerability assessment,” the report prepared for the city said.

Newport Beach Harbor Commission approves drafted changes to Title 17 – Harbor Code Specific topics within in the Harbor Code, which were a focus during the review process, included liveaboards, public docks, harbor development permits, vessel inspection, number of overnight stays aboard vessels and mooring extensions/appeals.

By Lindsey Glasgow NEWPORT BEACH—After 21 months of review, the Newport Beach Harbor Commission accepted revisions to the 115-page Newport Beach Title 17 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.

At the Nov. 13 Harbor Commission meeting, commissioners voted 6-0

Bellingham Marine awarded contract for Tuna Harbor dock work One floating dock will be repaired and a second replaced for $1.88 million.

San Diego’s Tuna Harbor is expected to have new docks, as the Port of San Diego approved a new contract for Bellingham Marine to begin the repair and replace project. The contract is for $1,882,623.

SAN DIEGO—The Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners have awarded Bellingham Marine Industries a contract for $1,882,623, to repair and replace docks at Tuna Harbor.

Commissioners awarded the contract to Bellingham Marine on Nov. 5.

One floating dock is severely damaged while a second one just needs to be repaired, according to port district staff.

“The plans and specifications defining the contract work includes replacement of the existing severely damaged floating Dock 2 and repair of existing deteriorated or damaged floating dock elements of Dock 3,” port district staff stated in a report to commissioners.

“After work completion, Dock 2 will be a new dock with improved materials and utilities and Dock 3 will be restored and maintained to its original condi-

tion. Both docks will provide sound and functional berths for commercial fishing vessels.”

Tuna Harbor’s Dock 2 was built in 1983; Dock 3 was built in 1978. Both docks provide berthing for commercial fishing vessels near G Street Mole.

Both docks were repaired in 2014, but a structural inspect in June 2018 showed Dock 2 was suffering from severe deterioration. Six finger docks were condemned as a result of the deteriorating condition, according to port district staff. “[Dock 2] requires complete replacement to restore it back into service,” port district staff stated in its report to commissioners. “Dock 3 has loose connections at the junctions of the finger docks and main walkway which require replacement to prevent future failure of the finger docks. It also has damaged guide pile brackets and edge fendering, loose deck planks, and requires repairs to keep the dock in service.

“The electrical service also needs to be upgraded to meet marine operations’ requirements,” port district staff continued.

Three companies submitted a bid for the Tuna Harbor dock contract: Bellingham Marine, Harbour Constructors Co. of Huntington Beach and Reyes Construction Inc of Pomona.

Bellingham’s bid of $1,882,623 was the lowest; Harbour Constructors’ bid was for $2,073,700. Reyes Construction offered to repair and replace the Tuna Harbor docks for $2,395,694.

Port district staff said construction would start in December and continue through June 2020.

(Commissioner Steve Scully was absent) to approve the Title 17 draft, sending it to the City Council for review. A subcommittee made up of commissioners Paul Blank, Bill Kenney and Don Yahn had been working on cover-to-cover review of the code since 2018.

According to a staff report, overall proposed changes were developed to more accurately reflect current practices, provide additional clarification and make improvements so Title 17 is consistent with other processes within the Municipal Code.

Changes to the section dealing with live aboards included language to reflect that commercial marinas may not assign more than 7 percent of their slips for live-aboard boaters, expansion of the requirements for trash disposal and requirements that liveaboard boats must have a marine sanitation device, proof of a commercial pump out service and be subject to dye tablet testing at any time.

Other revisions to Title 17 included a new section regarding a request to extend a mooring, should permittees wish to place larger vessels at that location. The Municipal Code did not allow for a process to consider such requests so a City Council policy was proposed to provide guidance on implementation of mooring extensions.

The policy would set the procedures and guidelines, including an approved list of maximum vessel lengths by field and row, for any mooring extension request. That policy is still being worked on by the Harbor Commission. A draft of the policy was presented to the Harbor Commission at the Nov. 13 meeting and commissioners voted to make several changes to the wording. Once approved by the Commission, it will also go to the City Council.

The Title 17 revisions also eliminated the code provision allowing a mooring permittee to “loan” their mooring to others free of charge.

Instead any vacant mooring would be subject to sub-permit provisions, as issued by the Harbor Department.

Several Balboa Yacht Club (BYC) members wrote letters to the Commission and spoke out at the Nov.

13 meeting seeking clarification for the process for sub-permitting moorings in the BYC field.

“I would like to appeal to you and the Harbor Commission to support me and all other yacht club members and provide an exception for those moorings within the Yacht Club designated fields from the regulations about sub-letting and allowing the city to rent them out,” said Dan Gribble in a letter to the Harbor Commission.

There are 75 moorings in the BYC field, 60 of which are permitted to BYC, 13 are held by yacht club members and the rest by the city. Under Title 17, the harbormaster is in charge of sub-permitting vacant moorings but an exception included states yacht clubs are responsible for managing the moorings under their control.

“There are a small number of what I will describe as city-issued moorings within the Balboa yacht club mooring field,” Harbormaster Kurt Borsting said. “I interpreted those as being under the rules that are assigned to any city-owned mooring.”

Commissioner Kenneyv suggested allowing yacht club members with a mooring permit in the BYC field to assign their mooring to the yacht club to allow the dockmaster to administer the mooring instead of the harbormaster. Nothing in the Title 17 draft was changed but the Harbor Commission plans to further discuss the subject with BYC. “I would like to maybe create a little committee to work with Balboa Yacht Club to come up with this alternative,” Kenney said at the Nov. 13 meeting.

The Title 17 draft now goes to the City Council, with the exception of the section dealing with Marine Activities Permits (MAP). That section is being addressed separately.

“There is still significant effort that needs to be expended on this section,” Kenney said at the Nov. 13 meeting.

The commission is still working on issues such as who should be required to obtain a MAP, how many different kinds of MAPs there should be and what should be included. Two public stakeholder meetings were held in October on the MAP section and more are expected.

Final vote on proposed desalination plant permit in Huntington Beach expected in April

File photo

A Dec. 6 workshop drew over an hour of public comment on Poseidon Water’s proposed Huntington Beach desalination facility.

If approved, Poseidon Water’s desalination plant would operate out of 12-acres at the current AES Huntington Beach power plant.

By Lindsey Glasgow HUNTINGTON BEACH—The Santa Ana Regional Water Board held a workshop on Dec. 6 on the permit renewal of Poseidon Water’s proposed Huntington Beach desalination project; the permit is on pace for a final vote in April 2020.

Poseidon Water is seeking to build a $1 billion desalination plant on a 12-acre parcel at the current AES Huntington Beach Generating Station on Newland Street. Previous permits were issued in 2006 and 2012, under which no construction took place.

The facility would produce an average volume of 50 million gallons per day (MGD) of potable water from salt water from the Pacific Ocean through a reverse osmosis process. The plant would use the AES intake and discharge systems, but would be required to modify the systems to reduce intake and mortality to all forms of marine life before beginning operation.

That includes equipping the intake system with a screening system consisting of four 1.0-mm slot wedgewire screens with a through screen velocity of 0.5 feet per second or less. An estimated 56.6 MGD of brine discharge twice the salinity of ocean waters would then be put back into the Pacific Ocean.

The plans now also include mitigation efforts in Bolsa Chica, including the preservation of the Full Tidal Basin through inlet maintenance dredging, restoration of 5.7 acres of subtidal habitat and enhancement of water circulation within the Muted Tidal Basins.

The nearly 500-page draft permit was laid out and comments were delivered from organizations and the public at the Dec. 6 workshop. The workshop began at 11 a.m. and included over an hour of public comments.

“The project has been modified to include new technological advancements and mitigation since the board last approved the permit in 2012,” said Scott Maloni, Vice President – Project Development at Poseidon Water.

“Today the proposed facility will use 20 percent less seawater then previously permitted while producing the same amount of drinking water.”

A large group of opponents attended the Dec. 6 workshop. They said the project is expensive, unnecessary, violates policies including the Ocean Plan and would increase water rates for customers.

“MWDOC, the Municipal Water District of Orange County, did a study and what they found is that in Huntington Beach, in this area, we can get by without new water sources with only doing conservation every 20 years,” said Ray Hiemstra, associate director of programs at Orange County Coastkeeper. “So we got a lot of water, so why kill marine life and dump brine and all this other stuff out there?”

Concerns have also been raised about marine life mortality associated with an open ocean intake and discharge of concentrated brine, as organisms, such as plankton, algae, larvae, and eggs are drawn in through the intake and killed when exposed to high pressure and heat inside the desalination system.

“I think staff in the draft permit lose sight of that,” said Sean Bothwell, executive director of the California Coast Keeper Alliance. “That [minimizing marine life mortality] is the most important thing, not public access, not land use, its minimizing marine life mortality.”

Barbara Boxer, California’s former U.S. Senator, is among the project’s supporters, who say the state should be prepared for future droughts.

“And if we do not adapt, adapt that means get ready for the future droughts,” Boxer said. “Those of us who had the chance to do something but failed to act will be haunted, haunted by the impacts.”

Water board members requested follow-up and clarification on the determination of need, as well as additional environmental studies.

“We had the board of directors of one agency say we need this water, then we have a study that says this is last on a list of projects,” said William von Blasingame.

A final decision on the permit is scheduled to happen on April 3, 2020.

Public comments on the proposed desalination plant are being accepted through January 21. They can be submitted by email to RB8PoseidonHB. comments@waterboards.ca.gov, by fax at 951-781-6288 or mail or hand delivery at: Julio Lara, Wastewater Section Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, 3737 Main Street, Suite 500 Riverside, CA 92501.

Possibility of Bayfront Topgolf swings back into San Diego The proposed Topgolf would include 102 high-tech golf driving bays, restaurants and bar service, indoor and outdoor social spaces, additional gaming and event space.

By Lindsey Glasgow SAN DIEGO—The Port of San Diego has entered into negotiations with Topgolf about a proposal to build a facility on a prime piece of waterfront property on East Harbor Island.

The Board of Port Commissioners voted 5-1 on Nov. 5 to waive Policy No. 360, which requires a competitive solicitation process, and to direct the district’s executive director or her designee to negotiate and enter into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with Topgolf.

Commissioner Marshall Merrifield cast the no vote. He said he was not voting against Topgolf, but voting against the waving of Policy No. 360.

Topgolf is a sports entertainment business that caters to both golf and

non-golf players, offering a selection of games for all levels. Topgolf officials presented a proposal for the facility at the Nov. 5 Board of Port Commissioners meeting. Those plans include a 68,000 square-foot building with three levels consisting of 102 golf driving bays and restaurants and bar service. Each hitting bay has space for eight people, and six can play at a time.

The proposed site is on the east side of the man-made peninsula. It is part of 35 acres of land the port district calls the “East Basin Industrial Subarea,” which it has been trying to redevelop since 2015 when plans were announced that several rental car companies on the property were moving to a Rental Car Center garage on Pacific Coast Highway.

Wendy Siao, program manager of real estate at Port of San Diego, said

Topgolf expects 500,000 visitors would visit this location per year. An August economic analysis by London Moeder Advisors stated the business would create around 800 jobs, of which about 500 would be permanent.

This is not the first time the idea for Topgolf in the area has circulated.

Topgolf submitted a proposal in 2015, when the board directed port district staff to begin soliciting for development on the “East Basin Industrial Subarea” and an adjacent 7 acres the port district calls the “Elbow Parcel.”

In September of 2016, Oliver McMillan was selected to redevelop a significant portion of the “East Basin Industrial Subarea” with hotels, retail, canals and office space.

Topgolf came back into the picture when Oliver McMillan pulled out of those plans in February of this year.

At the Nov. 5 meeting, some commissioners expressed the sentiment the business could attract visitors as well as other businesses to the area.

“It’s going to bring new people down to the port that might not otherwise come down here,” said Commissioner Dan Malcolm.

Other commissioners expressed concerns.

“Is it worthy of very, very, very prime waterfront location?” said Commissioner Merrifield. “This is the last probably great large parcel with a great view corridor of the Bay and of the downtown.”

The Nov. 5 decision allows port district staff to begin talks with Topgolf to refine their proposal for the land and negotiate terms until the agreement expires on Dec. 31, 2020. Definitive plans would still need approval before moving forward.

“We fight over every square inch of our Bay and there’s a good reason we do that,” Commission Chair Garry Bonelli said.

Meanwhile, Sunroad Enterprises is working on plans to redevelop the adjacent 7-acre “Elbow Parcel.”

The Notice of Race for Alamitos Bay YC’s Boxing Day Pursuit Race comically states all boats, “especially those that float,” are eligible to participate in the Dec. 28 regatta in Long Beach.

Alamitos Bay Yacht Club publishes tonguein-cheek Notice of Race for regatta Boxing Day Pursuit Race will be held on Dec. 28 in Long Beach’s Alamitos Bay.

By Parimal M. Rohit LONG BEACH — Alamitos Bay Yacht Club will be hosting the Boxing Day Pursuit Race on Dec. 28, and the regatta’s organizers had a little fun with the Notice of Race publication. Much of the notice was written in tongue-incheek, light-heartedly describing the boats eligible to compete, light penalty for late entry fees and other event instructions.

The regatta is open to all boats, “especially those that float, with or without a Portsmouth yardstick,” according to the Notice of Race.

Also permitted to participate in the regatta, according to the facetious Notice of Race: “Cape Cod Frosty’s, Sabot’s, Optimists, CFJ’s, C420, Lido’s, Laser’s, C-15’s, Snipe’s, CAL 20’s, Etchells, F-31 Trimarans, CAL 40’s, [and] back yard specials.”

“For boats not having a Portsmouth yardstick one will be invented,” the Notice of Race continued.

Entries can only be submitted in

person or online. Alamitos Bay YC will not accept entries via mail, sax, smoke signals or semaphore.

“Online entries will be accepted until 1812 on the day immediately preceding the regatta,” the Notice of Race stated.

Only one class will be established, though there will also be sub-classes of boats with similar characteristics.

“Sub-classes may include: Boats with Heads, Boats with Beds, etc.,” the Notice of Race stated. “Entry fees is $15 if paid before December 25th, $16 if paid after.”

The race course will be a pursuit, which is an inverted/reverse start.

Racing will take place in Alamitos Bay. “Naples Sabot’s warning signal will be at 1255ish, Formula 18 Cat’s at 1400ish and everyone else somewhere in-betweenish,” the Notice of Race stated. “The finish will be at 1530ish.”

There will be a notice board placed somewhere near the Race Entry Room, though organizers at Alamitos Bay YC really aren’t taking this portion of the regatta seriously.

“Nothing of significance will be

posted as the majority of sailors will walk straight past it as usual,” the Notice of Race stated.

Any changes to sailing instructions, according to the Notice of Race, would be “arbitrary, unpremeditated and incomprehensible to all concerned.”

“They will probably not be divulged to competitors,” the Notice of Race

crew persuaded to participate, and gifts received,” the Notice of Race stated.

“Boats which get this combination wrong will not win any prizes.

“The first shall be first and the last shall be last,” the Notice of Race continued. “One (1) race constitutes a series. Pretty obvious huh!”

Some other tongue-in-cheek comments within the Boxing Day Pursuit Race notice: “In these politically correct times classes have been abolished, so as not to be discriminatory. The Race Officer will grab the nearest rag and throw it up.”

Racing Areas: “Where possible, these will be on the water.”

Official Boats: “Whatever can be made to float and work on the day.”

Support Boats: Ditto Official Boats above. All support boats, including coach and spectator boats, are encouraged.”

Trophies/Prizes: “If you win you will be be famous, and if that is not enough a very large insignificant well used trophy will be presented to the winner.”

Protests: “It’s Christmas what happened to the Christmas spirit! We advise against protests.”

Launching: “Two hoists, one of 3,000 lbs. capacity, another of 5,000 lbs. capacity for those who ate too many holiday treats, and a dinghy ramp are available. Every bout using a hoist must

There will be a competitors’ meeting - and, yes, the Notice of Race poked fun here, as well.

“If the race officer has nothing more interesting to do, [a competitors’ meeting] will be held on the ABYC patio at 1200ish,” the Notice of Race stated.

The scoring process was also mocked in the Notice of Race.

“The Race Officer will award or deduct points based on the degree of cooperation shown, number of silly questions directed at him, general congeniality of the skipper and number of

Liability: “The Race Officer shall not be blamed for anything.”

Liability: “If you drink out of the hose in the yard and get sick, it’s not our fault.”

Safety: “ABYC recommends that all competitors wear personal flotation devices, previously known as lifejackets until some attorney had them renamed.”

Please forgive any grammatical errors cited in portions of the Notice of Race quoted in this article.

U.S. Sailing partners with Leukemia Cup

By Parimal M. Rohit BRISTOL, Rhode Island — The Leukemia Cup Regatta will be receiving a boost from U.S. Sailing, as both entities will be partnering together to help raise money for blood cancer research.

U.S. Sailing would specifically urge its membership to support the various Leukemia Cup Regattas held around the country.

Anyone who renews his or her U.S. Sailing membership through the Leukemia Cup Regatta program would have $10 of the membership fee donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, or LLS. “U.S. Sailing’s involvement and the generosity of the sailing community will enable LLS to help more patients and their families who are on the front lines of the cancer battle,” Gary Jobson, National Chairman Emeritus of the Leukemia Cup Regatta and a Lymphoma survivor, said. “I am living proof of the research and treatment advances.”

The Leukemia Cup Regatta is a series of 45 sailing events held across North America. Each event benefits the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The regatta series was launched in 1988 and has raised more than $70 million for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

The society, which was founded in 1949, funds research to cure blood cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma.

Southern California fishing news

A group of environmental organizations sued the federal government in early December, claiming a water project in California is diverting water to farmers in the Central Valley – at the expense of native fish species.

Six environmental organizations sue federal agencies over California water project Initiatives spearheaded by National Marine Fisheries Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service harm native fish species, according to lawsuit.

By Parimal M. Rohit SAN FRANCISCO—The Trump administration and two federal agencies were sued by six environmental organizations on Dec. 2, with plaintiffs claiming the Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service authorizing a water project in California at the expense of native fish species.

The Pacific Coast Federation of

Fishermen’s Association and Natural Resources Defense Council lead a federal lawsuit against NOAA, NMFS and others to the long-term operations of Central Valley Project and State Water Project in California; the lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court in San Francisco.

All six plaintiffs are claiming the federal water projects were politically motivated and violated the Endangered Species Act. “Contrary to the requirements of the Endangered Species Act … the biological opinions at issue in this case were blatantly and improperly shaped

by political motivations and authorize water project operations that will cause grave harm to species and their critical habitat, increasing the risk of extinction of endangered and threatened salmon, steelhead and Delta Smelt,” the lawsuit stated.

The projects at issue, according to the lawsuit, would divert “massive amounts of water” from a network of canals, dams and reservoirs to the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta for agricultural and municipal uses.

“The operations of the Water Projects have caused devastating environmental impacts and have contributed to severe declines in California’s native fish species, several of which are now listed as endangered or threat-

ened species under the Endangered Species Act,” the complaint stated. “[The] water project operations have been major factors in the decline of the endangered Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon (“winter-run Chinook salmon”), threatened Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon (“spring-run Chinook salmon”), threatened Central Valley steelhead, and threatened Delta Smelt, and in the listing of these and other species under the Endangered Species Act.” Other harms of the federal water projects, according to the lawsuit’s plaintiffs, include reduced in-stream flows, reduced Delta outflow, increased salinity levels and habitat loss.

NMFS biologists, according to plaintiffs, issued a 1,123-page opinion in July, stating the federal water plan would likely “jeopardize listed salmon and steelhead, as well as Southern Resident killer whales, and was likely to destroy or adversely modify critical habitat, in violation of the Endangered Species Act.” Plaintiffs accused NOAA, NMFS and other federal officials of not following the biologists’ recommendations. “[The] biological opinion included a reasonable and prudent alternative requiring additional protective measures and alterations in Reclamation’s proposed plan in order to avoid such adverse impacts to listed species,” the lawsuit against NOAA, NMFS and the White House stated. “But instead of adopting that biological opinion, which had been signed by multiple staffers and cleared by Fisheries Service attorneys, political appointees at the Fisheries Service and the Interior Department short-circuited required procedures, removed most of the scientists working on the biological opinion, and reversed the findings of staff biologists.”

Institute for Fisheries Resources, Gold State Salmon Association, Defenders of the Wildlife and The Bay Institute also joined the lawsuit as plaintiffs.

Hugging It Out

Stardust Sportfishing photo

SANTA BARBARA—Reds, rockfish and lingcod were the fish of the day for 14 anglers aboard a three-quarter-day fishing trip aboard Stardust out of Santa Barbara. It was a cold and breezy day on Dec. 5, but there were plenty of bites and catches, according to the Stardust crew. Reds were the dominant catch, but there were a few rockfish and lingcod in the mix, as well. Two of the 14 anglers aboard the Dec. 5 fishing expedition out of Santa Barbara were certainly happy with one of the rockfish brought onto Stardust.

In all the 14 anglers caught 130 reds, 10 rockfish and two lingcod. A similar three-quarter-day fishing expedition during Thanksgiving weekend returned to Santa Barbara with 160 reds, 10 rockfish and one lingcod for 17 anglers.

Chinook salmon population rebounds during its winter-run from Sacramento River to sea

By Parimal M. Rohit

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA—As many as 3.8 mullion juvenile winter-run Chinook salmon trekked from the Sacramento River in the Central Valley to the Pacific Ocean in 2019, according to NOAA Fisheries - the highest number in a decade for the endangered fish.

Nearly 5 million juvenile winter-run Chinook salmon made the trip down the Sacramento River and toward the Pacific Ocean in 2009, the last time this many of the species made the trek.

NOAA Fisheries added an estimated 8,000 adult fish made it back to the Sacramento River this year for spawning, the highest number since 2006.

“This year’s generation of juvenile winter-run Chinook salmon is considered especially critical because two years’ worth of naturally produced winter-run Chinook salmon offspring were almost entirely lost in 2014 and 2015 during California’s severe drought,” NOAA Fisheries staff stated in a released report on Dec. 6. “That left few juvenile fish to migrate to the ocean in those years and return as adults to spawn.”

Winter-run Chinook salmon thrive in cold-water rivers of Northern California. The species’ long-distance migration, however, was essentially cut off when the Shasta Dam was completed in 1945.

“The fish were then forced to spawn instead in the exposed main channel of the Sacramento River below the dam, far from their historic cold-water habitat, in the summer where they are vulnerable to high temperatures that can stress and kill their eggs,” NOAA Fisheries staff stated. “Biologists and water managers coordinate the storage and release of cold water behind Shasta Dam to cool the river downstream and help the fish and their eggs survive the hot summer months. After the losses in 2014 and 2015, they took additional measures in 2016 to conserve the cold water for use later in the summer.”

Seasonally cold water released from the Shasta Reservoir has helped the single remaining population of winter-run Chinook salmon survive in the Sacramento River.

Federal officials tried to help the endangered Chinook salmon in 2014 and 2015, releasing a combined 1 million of the species from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife’s Livingston Stone National Fish Hatchery during those two years to supplement critically low numbers of the winter-run fishery.

STATEWIDE—The opening of steelhead trout fishing season in California has opened the door for the state’s Department of Fish and Wildlife to issue a public service announcement: anglers should clean their gear after every fishing trip in order to prevent the spread of New Zealand Mudsnails in local waterways.

The New Zealand Mudsnail, or NZMS, is a tiny aquatic snail, measuring 3/16th of an inch.

“The resiliency of NZMS has enabled them to spread to aquatic environments across the globe, including Europe, Australia, North America and Asia,” CDFW staff stated. “To prevent further spread, anglers and others who wade or work in California waters should thoroughly clean all gear before using it in another waterbody.”

New Zealand Mudsnails were first found in Owens River in 2000; Owens River runs through Inyo and Mono Counties. The aquatic snail was again found in 2003, at Putah Creek in Yolo County and Mokelumne River. State officials have since identified the New Zealand Mudsnail in 27 other counties, including Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura.

“NZMS can survive in a variety of environments including rivers, streams, reservoirs and estuaries. They are parthenogenic live-bearers, meaning they self-reproduce. This enables a new population to begin from only one snail,” CDFW staff stated.

State officials added the New Zealand Mudsnail population is impossible to control once it reaches a certain critical mass. A large population of New Zealand Mudsnail would not allow steelhead trout to survive,

state officials continued.

“NZMS have demonstrated the potential to reach high densities of up to nearly one million snails per square meter and comprising up to 95 percent of the invertebrate biomass of a river. When they reach high densities, NZMS outcompete native insects and invertebrates for space and algae, which reduces the forage available to steelhead trout. As a result, steelhead populations can decline,” CDFW staff said in a released statement.

“Once NZMS are established in a body of water, it may not be possible to eradicate them,” CDFW staff continued.

There are a few steps anglers can take to prevent to spread of New Zealand Mudsnails. Anglers are encouraged to inspect all of their fishing gear – including boots, float tubes and wades – immediately after leaving a body of water. All visible debris should be removed with stiff brush and rinse on site.

Waders and other gear should be frozen overnight – and for at least six hours – or completely dried between use.

“Use additional waders and boots in infested waters and store them separately,” CDFW staff added. “Never transport live fish or other aquatic animals or plants from one waterbody to another.”

CDFW Senior Environmental Scientist George Neillands said the New Zealand Mudsnail does not infect several watersheds and counties. The angling public, however, should take steps to ensure local waterways remain free of the aquatic snail, Neillands added.

More information about the New Zealand Mudsnail is available online at www.wildlife.ca.gov/NZMS.

San Diego Report

Late season bluefin and yellowfin bites wavering after a series of storms

By Bob Vanian

SAN DIEGO—Old Man Winter eventually wins out every year, as the Southern California offshore fishing season has been struggling after the passing of the third or fourth weather system of the past couple of weeks. Each of those weather systems has had an effect in the lowering of the offshore water temperature which is currently in the 61.5- to 63-degree range and the result is recent trips going offshore for yellowfin and bluefin have found pretty good numbers of 3- to 8-pound kelp paddie yellowtail biting. They have struggled, however, to do much in the way of catching bluefin or yellowfin.

The past few days have seen three sportboat counts posted by boats out looking for tuna in local offshore waters.

Tribute out of Seaforth Sportfishing fished an overnight trip with 27 anglers who caught five skipjack and 76 yellowtails.

Sea Adventure 80 out of H&M Landing returned home from a 2.75-day trip with 20 anglers having caught two yellowfin, one skipjack, 36 yellowtails and 100 rockfish. Grande out of H&M Landing fished a full day trip and returned with one yellowfin and 29 yellowtails.

Maybe some better numbers of bluefin or yellowfin will be relocated in local offshore waters sometime soon, but for the time being the fishing for both species of tuna are slow. The sector where much of the fishy looking activity has been found in recent days has been in the area to the west and the southwest of the 371 Bank ranging from 30 to 40 miles 210 to 218 degrees from Point Loma.

What continues to produce some action in offshore waters despite the recent weather systems has been the deep drop method of fishing for swordfish. Productive areas in recent days have been the drop-off coastal shelf outside of Newport Beach and Oceanside as well as the region of the upper end of the 9 Mile Bank and the nearby 178 Spot. It seems like the fishing has been good enough a swordfish or two are caught from these areas on quite a few of the days when there are several boats out giving one or more of these areas a try. Large frozen squid have been working best for bait while fished in depths ranging from 800 to 900-plus feet below the surface.

Not many boats have been fishing around Los Coronado Islands lately because of the good tuna fishing of recent weeks being found in local offshore waters.

Fletcher reported starting their day of fishing by fishing along the weather side of North Island in 62.8-degree water.

Fletcher reported beautiful and calm weather conditions and said they found steady action on 3- to 5-pound bonito that were biting on small trolled Rapalas.

They ended up catching 6 bonito out of that bite, which included one larger fish between 7 and 8 pounds. They kept some

of their bonito and released the rest.

Fletcher said their next move was to try the Middle Grounds and when they got there they found the water was cold and at 61.75 degrees. Nothing was happening in the cooler water and they did not spend much time at the Middle Grounds before heading out to the west-southwest of North Island to try some rock cod fishing.

A pleasant surprise from the fishing along the San Diego County coast was a recent day of fishing when there was a good bite on nice sized yellowtail to 30 pounds. The yellows popped up in 18 fathoms of water in the area below the MLPA closure zone off the lower end of La Jolla.

There was bird school yellowtail activity in the area and action was being found on sardines, mackerel and iron with one private boater reporting having caught seven yellowtails.

For those using live sardines and live mackerel, action was found on flylined, slow trolled and dropper loop fished baits. One skipper also reported catching a nice sized yellowtail on blue and chrome iron that I believe was a blue and chrome yo-yo iron.

The area has since quieted down on yellowtail but anglers are hoping that the yellows will settle in at La Jolla and stage an autumn bite that carries over into winter.

The remainder of the fishing along the San Diego County coast has been good for a mix of reds, rockfish, sculpin, bass, sheephead and whitefish. There have also been occasional flurries of bonito action by the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma.

Southern California anglers have had a very good tuna season but things appear to be winding down. Time will tell if more bluefin or yellowfin will be located in local offshore waters during the remainder of 2019. Until such time, there is plenty of fun to be had fishing at the local islands or along the coast! Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!
