Sunroad Enterprises will soon present fine-tuned development to Port of San Diego’s board.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SAN DIEGO—The Port of San Diego’s Board of San Diego will move forward with Sunroad Enterprises’ updated plans to bring a hotel development at Harbor Island’s eastern elbow site, which is adjacent to Sunroad Marina, Feb. 12. Sunroad Enterprises would have to present clarified plans within the next 120 days.

Sunroad Enterprises would come back to the port district’s board within 120 days and present plans for one and two buildings.

Port district staff said Sunroad would build 450-500 rooms in one phase; building the hotel development in one phase would be the “quickest path to a full development,” according to port district staff.

Whether the hotel development should be executed into one or two buildings was a central part of the Feb. 12 presentation. There is precedent in the San Diego region for separating a hotel development into two buildings, port staff told commissioners. Erecting two buildings could open the door for a pair of hotels at the proposed Harbor

Island elbow parcel site, port staff continued.

Having two hotel properties sideby-side would also allow each building to be contrasted, both in scale and massing.

Port district staff also said the proposed hotel project would minimize walling off the bay, create meaningful view corridors and feature a less homogenous, more unique design.

“Parking integration” was another element of the proposed hotel development. Any parking element at the new hotel development, according to port district staff, would have to be as inviting as possible, reduce barriers and be as aesthetically pleasing as possible.

Yet another criteria for the hotel project, as explained by port district staff, is to create a mini destination area at the Harbor Island development site.

The mini destination area, in hopes of activating Harbor Island, would offer pedestrian-oriented amenities and include outdoor cafes, educational displays and gift shops.

Port district staff added they are looking for a high quality hotel operator (between “mid-scale” and luxury, according to port district staff) to occupy the planned transient development project, once completed. Potential tenants could be Marriott (AC Hotels, Element, Aloft), Hyatt, Hilton (Curio, Tapestry) or Swissotel.

Gordon Carrier of Carrier Johnson

Architects, the architecture firm partnering with Sunroad, presented a few “doodles,” which were rudimentary sketches of what the development site would look like once developed, to the Board of Port Commissioners.

Man seeks burial in beloved “century-old” vessel when he dies 2C

FORT WALTON BEACH, Florida—Ask any boater and they will tell you a life on the water is one of the most freeing parts of their day, weekend, month and so on. If a life on the water makes such an impact, it would only make sense that sailing would be the preferred way to spend the afterlife as well. That leads into a story about an 85-year-old man, Jim Tucker, from Florida’s Panhandle who plans to be sealed into his boat when he dies.

Some may question what’s the big deal about a man who would like to turn his boat into a tomb when he dies? The answer is that this practice is somewhat of a gray area

 NEWS BRIEFS NATION/WORLD Scottish ship up for auction after plans to deliver it home from Hawai’i fall short HONOLULU (AP)—Hawai’i officials plan to auction a 140-yearold ship after repeated attempts to deliver it to its Scottish homeland failed.

The Falls of Clyde, the last surviving ship of a fleet named after Scottish waterfalls, will be on sale for the next three weeks, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported.

Russell & Co. built the vessel in Port Glasgow in 1878. It came

legally. Tucker spent $800 seeking legal counsel so that he can spend eternity with his boat, which he found out there is no state or federal law against. From his findings, he does not believe there will be action taken against his choice of final resting place.

In 2018, The Log published articles about boat coffins and underwater mausoleums.

Tucker’s boat, on the other hand, has much historical significance. The Boat, as it is known, was built as an Army transport vessel in 1921. In the late 20s, The Boat ferried bananas from Venezuela.

After a brief return to military service during WWII, The Boat eventually because a floating restaurant in Wilmington, North Carolina and Tampa, then finally known as The

to the islands when Matson, Hawaii’s biggest shipping company, acquired it. It later became an oil tanker.

In Honolulu Harbor, the ship became a museum and hosted weddings, funerals, parties, military re-enlistment ceremonies and a re-enactment of the Boston Tea Party. It was also available for school tours.

Last month state officials noticed the ship was taking on water. They got emergency funds to make repairs.

The group Save Falls of Clyde International announced plans to bring the ship back to Scotland in 2017. But a plan to have a lift ship transport it fell through last

summer. Another lift scheduled for Feb. 3 was canceled due to logistical problems.

The state Harbor Division said it has helped the ship’s supporters by not charging any rent or fees for the use of its pier since April 2009. The state said it was moving forward with auction proceedings in part to protect Honolulu Harbor.

“We’ve given 10 years to the process, and repeatedly we’ve heard the same thing: ‘We just need time,’” said Transportation Department spokesman Tim Sakahara. “There have been numerous attempts at fundraising and removal, and all have been unsuccessful. Given the

If the winning bidder fails to pay in a timely manner or remove the ship by the required deadline, the state’s options may be to sell the Falls of Clyde by negotiation, dispose of the vessel as junk or potentially donate it to a government agency.

California Boating: How Large is its Wake?

Reorganization State Parks is still in the works – will boaters maintain a presence in Sacramento or lose traction?

By Parimal M. Rohit

STATEWIDE—California’s boaters weren’t happy when Gov. Jerry Brown downgraded the state’s independent boating agency to a division within the Department of Parks and Recreation in 2012. Frustrations were at a fever pitch back then, when boaters worried they were being overlooked in Sacramento despite maintaining a strong presence statewide.

Those frustrations are beginning to boil over again, as some corners of the recreational boating industry are worried of what the upcoming reorganization of the state’s Department of Parks and Recreation would look like, should it

come to pass this year or next (or the year after next, for that matter).

Will boaters be overlooked – and their presence statewide underestimated – yet again?

This was the concern of at least one boat broker who spoke with The Log after a lunch meeting at San Diego’s Shelter Island. He stated officials with California State Parks – the shorthand for Department of Parks and Recreation – told him boaters would continue to acknowledged and not be left behind once the department is reorganized. Could State Parks, however, give boaters their proper due when the department (possibly) doesn’t fully grasp the value – both in overall size and economic impact – of California’s recreational boating community?

The broker went on to state the only way State Parks could fully comprehend the value boaters bring to the state, both on a local and regional level, is by conducting a financial survey of the industry. He personally opined the See STANDING WATCH page 7

New Kids On The Block: Cyprus International Sailing Club

By Parimal M. Rohit

LIMASSOL, Cyprus—The second largest urban area in one of the world’s smallest countries happens to be home to one of Earth’s youngest yacht clubs. A TGI Fridays at Limassol Marina in Cyprus serves as the home base for Cyprus International Sailing Club, which was established during the final days of 2017.

The club, barely one year into existence, already has more than 80 members, many of whom have participated in sailing competitions such as the Aegean Regatta, Cyprus Championships, Cyprus-Israel Race, Rolex Cup and Rolex Giraglia. Cyprus International Sailing Club also hosted the Cyprus European Sailing Championships ORC 2018.

One of the club’s draws is its year-round warm weather. The water temperature at the club averages about 62 degrees during winter months, making Cyprus International Sailing Club an ideal destination for boats or yachts otherwise bound by cold weather.

“Cyprus is almost the only European country where the comfortable sailing season does not stop, even in winter,” the club’s website states.

A one-year, all-inclusive membership at Cyprus International Sailing Club will cost you 890 Euros (or 74 Euros per month) – the equivalent of $1,003 (annually) at current conversion rates. The club also offers subscription sailing memberships and weekend attendance rates.

Limassol, itself, dates back to the year 1191, when Byzantine rule of Cyprus came to an end and the reign of the British would begin. Bishops found a home in Limassol from 1192 to the 1500s, when the Turks came in and occupied Cyprus.

Turkish occupation of the island country left much for wanting in Limassol, as the city’s infrastructure and overall status declined. The city’s fortunes took a positive turn in the 1800s, when new schools were built in Limassol.

Modernization of Limassol came in the 1970s, as the city slowly developed into a tourist destination. Limassol’s marina – one of those tourist destinations – is home to 660 recreational boats, taverns, shopping malls and, yes, a TGI Fridays.

Standing Watch From page 6

economic impact of California’s recreational boating industry was at least $9 billion.

A quick Google search of economic impact studies for California’s recreational boating industry yields a report published in 1988. The report specifically looked at the 1986 recreational boating season. Boaters that year, according to the report, spent almost 56 million days on the water and contributed $1.6 billion in boating-related expenditures – gasoline, groceries, lodging, etc.

Boating themed businesses reported total gross receipts of $2.6 billion and employed an estimated 40,000 people in 1986, the 1988 report continued.

The report was prepared for the Department of Boating and Waterways – also known as Cal Boating – by David M. Dornbusch and Co. Another study funded by Cal Boating in 1998 looked at the economic impact of recreational boating and angling in California’s Delta region. The survey was offered to 10,000 boaters and 10,000 anglers.

Boating in the Sacramento-San Joaquin region, according to the survey, accounted 1.7 percent of total Delta income and 3.2 percent of the area’s employment. The same survey also found nearly 1 in 4 Californians recreated in the Delta region each year (as of 1996).

A Department of Boating and Waterways report published in March 2009 found non-motorized boating contributed $1.7 billion into the state’s economy in 2006. Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor back then – the state has since seen the completion of his term, an eight-year

chief executive run by Jerry Brown and the election and swearing-in of Gavin Newsom.

The 10-year anniversary of this non-motorized boating study approaches in a matter of days – and the broker referenced above asks: Are state officials planning to survey California’s recreational boating industry and its economic impact anytime soon?

The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), meanwhile, studied California’s recreational boating economy in 2012 and reported the total economic impact of recreational boating within the nation’s most populous state was $8.94 billion. California was also home to more than 826,000 boats, the NMMA study continued.

Our broker above has a point: The level at which boaters are included within a reorganized State Parks should be predicated on the role recreational boaters play in California’s economy.

The best way to quantify the role of boaters in the California economy is to conduct a new, comprehensive study. Such a study would certainly be warranted right now, particularly of the last review of the economic impact of California’s boaters was conducted in March 2009.

Perhaps a campaign for such a review or survey would be heard loud and clear in March 2019, when the Marina Recreation Association hosts the annual California Boating Congress in Sacramento. (The boating conference is specifically taking place March 6 at the Embassy Suites on the Sacramento Riverfront.)

News Briefs From page 4

government has canceled a contract to ship goods to the country after it leaves the European Union with a company that turned out to have no boats and no experience running a ferry service.

Authorities had been criticized for the 13.8 million pound ($18 million) deal with Seaborne Freight, part of plans to keep trade flowing if Britain leaves the EU without a divorce deal.

The U.K. Department for Transport said Feb. 9 it had ended the contract because an Irish firm that was backing Seaborne Freight, Arklow Shipping, had withdrawn its support.

The department said no taxpayer money had been transferred to the company. It said the government was “in advanced talks with a number of companies to secure additional freight capacity” if there is a no-deal Brexit.

Britain is due to leave the EU on March 29 but British lawmakers have not yet agreed upon a divorce deal outlining departure rules and future trade terms. A withdrawal agreement between British Prime Minister Theresa May’s Conservative government and the EU was rejected last month by Britain’s Parliament, and EU officials are resisting U.K. attempts to renegotiate it.

British businesses fear a no-deal Brexit will cause gridlock at ports by ripping up the trade rulebook and imposing tariffs, customs checks and other barriers between the U.K. and the EU, its biggest trading partner.

Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament’s chief Brexit official, said this week that a no-deal Brexit would be “a disaster on both sides of the Channel.” The 27 other EU nations, as well as Britain, have started hiring more customs officials and taking other steps to protect themselves against the worst effects of Brexit.

Seaborne had been contracted to provide services between Ramsgate in southeast England and the Belgian port of Ostend to ease pressure on the busiest cross-Channel route between Dover, England, and Calais, France.

thelog.com

Criticism of the deal increased when it was discovered that part of Seaborne’s website appeared to have been copied from a food delivery firm.

U.K. opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn said May’s Conservative government claimed to have “‘looked very carefully’ at Seaborne Freight before giving the company the contract, but apparently not carefully enough to notice that it didn’t have any ships.”

Labour transport spokesman Andy McDonald accused Transport Secretary Chris Grayling of “heaping humiliation after humiliation on our country” and said he should resign. Grayling has also been in charge as British commuters have howled about deficiencies in the country’s train services.

North Carolina asks public to help clean up shipwreck CAPE POINT, N.C. (AP)—Cape Hatteras National Seashore on North Carolina’s Outer Banks asked the public this week to help clean up a shipwreck that spread debris across a mile of beach at Cape Point.

The Charlotte Observer reports a shrimp trawler flipped over and broke apart near the beach early Feb. 11, leaving the sand covered in wood, nails and ship fragments.

A park statement says the ship’s three crew members were found alive and taken to hospitals for medical evaluations. The cause of the wreck is under investigation.

The debris closed a section of beach between off-road vehicle ramps 48 and 49, and volunteers helped to clear the wreckage Feb. 12. The park’s website says the ramps were open to off-road vehicles that night, though drivers should look out for debris.

Coastal Commission staff added the revetment project’s ultimate purpose is “to protect numerous public-access oriented amenities on the peninsula.”

“The inner harbor peninsula that the revetment protects supports a recreational boating marina and visitor serving and public access uses such as a hotel, public parking, and waterfront public promenade,” Coastal Commission staff continued.

“Over the course of five decades following construction of the revetment, the wave and tidal action of harbor waters, as well as settling of the rock revetment and the

of Southern California coastline that would allow very limited access to beaches.

Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge Colleen Sterne ruled last week that the public’s interest was not fully represented in the agreement over access to the 22-square mile (57-square-kilometer) Hollister Ranch, where wealthy homeowners live on houses on a limited number of large lots with stunning ocean views, the Los Angeles Times reported Feb. 11.

The settlement was signed last year by the California State Coastal Conservancy and the state Coastal Commission on one side and the Hollister Ranch Owners Association on the other.

It would limit access to those who could boat or paddle 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) to reach it, to visitors with guides, the ranch’s landowners and their guests.

The ruling does not reject the settlement, but establishes a path for opponents to have it thrown out. Next steps could include a lawsuit against the state for failing to include a public process prior to making this deal with Hollister.

The agreement was reached behind closed doors and generated public outrage last year after the Times published the terms. The outcry became a flashpoint in the mounting pressure on state officials to ensure that California’s beaches are open to everyone.

The judge’s decision is a major victory for coastal advocates who are calling on officials to fight harder against ranch homeowners and give greater public access to some of California’s most coveted beaches and surf breaks.

Sterne, in her ruling Feb. 8, acknowledged “substantial opposition on behalf of the absent but affected public interest.”

Hollister Ranch has 8.5 miles (13.6 kilometers) of beaches, a 2.2-mile-long (3.5-kilometer) shoreline preserve and 136 privately owned parcels.

New winter storm begins in California SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Rain, snow and wind swept into California on Feb. 13, flooding roadways, toppling trees and disrupting travel while bringing renewed

threats of mud and debris flows from the state’s huge wildfire burn scars.

The latest tempest in what has already been an extremely wet winter was feeding on an atmospheric river, a deep plume of moisture stretching across the Pacific Ocean to near Hawai’i, the National Weather Service said.

The drenching started in the northern half of the state and was expected to expand southward through the day and last into Feb. 14.

The Federal Aviation Administration warned that flights arriving at San Francisco International Airport could be delayed more than two hours.

Winter storm warnings were posted in the snow-laden Sierra Nevada, where the storm was forecast to dump up to 7 feet (2.1 meters) of new snow at elevations above 9,000 feet (2,743 meters). Much of the rest of the state was under high wind warnings or advisories.

Snow was heavily impacting northern stretches of Interstate 5, the state’s backbone highway. Caltrans reported the interstate closed to northbound traffic at Redding and to southbound trucks at Yreka. Tire chains were required elsewhere.

Widespread roadway flooding was occurring in the north San Francisco Bay Area, and to the east, a huge swath of the Central Valley was under a flood warning after moderate to heavy rain.

Meteorologists warned that rain would melt snow in the Sierra foothills, adding to runoff.

In the Fresno County city of Sanger, police posted social media photos of wind damage to the roof of a school along with snapped trees.

The storm was expected to arrive much later in the day in Southern California, but voluntary evacuation warnings were already in effect for some neighborhoods near a burn scar on the Riverside County side of the Santa Ana Mountains.

In Santa Barbara County, hard-hit by a devastating debris flow in January 2018, officials said predicted rainfall rates were below thresholds for new flows, but residents were still advised to stay alert.

Port of San Diego amends impounded vessel services agreement with Marine Group

From page 6

Three-year agreement was updated to include more services; contract value increases by more than $900,000.

Marine Group Boat Works will continue to handle abandoned boats for the Port of San Diego. A few terms of the agreement, however, were updated on Feb. 12. Port district officials are working with the Coast Guard and city of San Diego to address abandoned vessels, which has become an issue at areas such as Zuniga Jetty (located at the northern end of San Diego Harbor).

“Staff is joining regional working groups on abandoned and derelict vessels to learn how other jurisdictions are addressing similar issues,” port district staff stated. “The working groups are led by the [Coast Guard] and concerns raised by participants are communicated to the state legislature.

[Port district] staff is also researching alternate ways to process vessels with the goal of reducing costs and expediting the processing timeline.”

storage, the ability to accept vessels anytime, vessel lifts, heavy equipment, knowledge of the California Harbors & Navigation Code and the Department of Motor Vehicle impounded vessel procedures, and a thorough understanding of the environmental regulations to support proper storage and disposal of vessels.”

“This agreement supports Harbor Police’s duty to remove navigational hazards from the bay, and the port’s responsibility to keep the bay free from environmental hazards,” port district staff continued.

Port district staff estimates the cost to process incoming vessels – plus those currently in storage – for the current fiscal year would be $592,000.

Processing incoming impounded/ abandoned vessels for the 2020 fiscal year could reach $745,400, according to port district staff.

Costs are increasing for the port district’s Impound Vessel Program for at least two reasons: more vessels being impounded each year, on average; and, high operational/transportation costs at the National City storage yard (compared to Chula Vista).

“Since June 2018, the [port district has seen an increase in the number of vessels impounded by Harbor Police, which revises the average to 36 vessels annually (up from 24 vessels annually),” port district staff stated. “The cause of this increase is due in part to an unpatrolled area off the north west side of Coronado Island, known as the Zuniga Jetty Shoal (Zuniga), where boaters are mooring for free.

“Vessels moored at Zuniga often break free from anchors due to winds, shallow waters, and rock outcroppings, and some have drifted into the [port] district’s jurisdiction requiring removal,” port district staff continued.

The port district stated it is looking into ways to create a long-term, sustainable solution to the problem. Port district staff added they are working with the city of San Diego and U.S. Coast Guard to identify such solutions.

SAN DIEGO—An agreement between the Port of San Diego and Marine Group Boat Works for abandoned boat and impounded vessel services was amended, Feb. 12. The updated contract, which was approved by the port district’s Board of Port Commissioners, would allow Marine Group Boat Works to offer more abandoned boat and impounded vessel services.

The contract amendment updates a $600,000, three-year agreement both parties entered into on July 1, 2017.

Marine Group Boat Works agreed to provide impound services for abandoned boats or vessels impounded by San Diego Harbor Police. Approval of the contract amendment brings the contract’s value to $1,529,400; it still expires on June 30, 2020.

All impound services are currently performed at 891 G Street in Chula Vista.

“Services include acceptance of towed vessels, inventory reports, storage, vessel haul out, vessel transportation, the lien sale process, title acquisition processes, and vessel demolition,” port district staff stated in a report to commissioners. “Collectively, these services are referred to as the ‘vessel process’ and ultimately result in the sale or demolition of each vessel.”

Marine Group and the port district will lose the impound vessel services venue on G Street in July; the contract amendment calls for Marine Group’s services to be shifted to a vessel storage yard in National City.

The Chula Vista location is being lost due to the planned construction of the Chula Vista Bayfront and Sweetwater Path projects, according to port district staff.

“This amendment also adds additional capacity to the original agreement to account for an increase in the number of vessels impounded by [Harbor Police Department] annually (from 24 vessels impounded annually to 36 vessels impounded annually) and increased costs to transport vessels at the new vessel storage yard located in National City,” port district staff stated in a report to commissioners.

“Accordingly, [port district] staff is requesting an increase in the amount of the $600,000 agreement by $929,400 for a new total agreement amount of $1,529,400.”

Impound vessel services has historically been outsourced by the port district.

City Council members discussed reinstating a harbor advisory body, but settled for a public meeting for boaters/ waterfront business owners for future consideration.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

AVALON—For major boating destinations up and down Southern California’s coast, it’s hard to imagine the absence of a harbor advisory board.

There are many benefits to having an agency focusing on the major source of recreation and revenue. Avalon, on the other hand, once had a harbor committee – and it was dissolved in 2008.

Avalon’s City Council members, on Feb. 5, decided to give boaters and other interested parties the opportunity to meet and gather feedback.

Council members balked at immediately making a decision to reinstate a harbor advisory body.

A note in the staff report stated: “At present, the City Council, with the support of the Harbor Master and other members of the Harbor Department, serve as the Harbor Task Force. The City Council provides guidance, direction and approval on all Harbor

related matters of policy and issuance of Waterside Permits.”

Council member Cinde MacGuganCassidy, at a December 2018 City Council meeting, had requested an item on re-instating a harbor advisory body be placed on the agenda at a future meeting. The ensuing discussion at that meeting saw boaters, fishermen and others with business in the harbor state they were onboard for the possibility of having an agency to receive feedback again.

MacGugan-Cassidy, who was previously on Avalon’s last iteration of a harbor committee, stated she is in favor of reinstating the agency after the city received backlash from citizens who were angered by the increase in mooring fees.

Harbormaster JJ Poindexter openly stated at the meeting he did not feel it was necessary at this time. In a recent profile with The Log Poindeter expressed while he was open to having a committee of some sort, he felt it had failed in recent years. Poindexter also suggested at the meeting there may be some push and pull between the harbor department’s emphasis on safety and regulations from commercial cruise business with some of local business owners’ requests. Poindexter also mentioned a task force was meant to be created after the dismantling of the previous harbor committee, but there was never any follow-up to further address its creation.

Mayor Ann Marshall also opposed the idea, asking instead if a public meeting could be held among boaters to gather additional feedback.

Poindexter stated he may not be able to attend the meeting, but council members said it was not necessary for him to attend as this was mostly focusing

Avalon City Council decides to revive Harbor Task Force instead of Harbor Committee

After the harbor committee had been dismantled in 2008, Avalon’s city staff proposed creating a harbor task force but the idea was put on the backburner for a while. The task force does not yet have a set date to meet with boaters, waterfront business owners, harbor patrol and others.

on business owners and recreational boaters in the harbor for a “think tank” or brainstorming session.

MacGugan-Cassidy and Poindexter were contacted, but due to scheduling conflicts they were unable to provide feedback on the harbor committee topic at the time of press. Any updates will be included online.

Avalon is a small community and, as of 2017, was home to 3,764 residents.

Much of the community’s income depends on tourism, especially from large cruise ships that keep the city busy during the summer months.

Waterfront businesses, like in many other Southern California coastal cities, also provide jobs for residents and mainlanders alike. Some restaurants, like Bluewater Grill, source seafood locally caught by fishermen of Avalon.

While Avalon is dependent on its harbor and waters for much of its wealth, what is the best way to provide a platform for boaters (local and transient), business owners, the harbor

patrol, fishermen and others where the waterfront is a concern to come together? Is a harbor committee really necessary when it’s catering to such a small population or does that make it even more vital? It is also important to note that harbor commissions only provide feedback; they are not the governing parties responsible for issuing permits, amending policy or changing regulations. Thus, all harbor commission discussions eventually are received by the city council for the final say unless other federal or state level authorization is necessary as well.

At this time, there has been no official confirmation on the public meeting. The Log will make an announcement if updates become available.

For any further questions, contact Avalon Harbor Department at 310-5100535 or harborpatrol@cityofavalon. com, or contact Council member Cinde MacGugan-Cassidy at ccassidy@ cityofavalon.com.

A Crowded San Clemente Pier in the ‘50s SAN CLEMENTE— Sometimes when looking back on history, it’s a marvel to see how much an area changed. Other places manage to keep the same spirit alive despite the world’s ever-changing ways: San Clemente Pier is one of those places. Pictured here in the 1950s, you can see the hoards of people gathered at San Clemente Pier on a beautiful, sunny, Southern California day to fish, swim and enjoy their time near the ocean.

San Clemente is still a great location for all kinds of on-water activities and the pier still stands today.

Boating leaders urge passage of bill to ease retaliatory tariffs

ANAHEIM—Members of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board will soon consider whether to issue Poseidon Water a permit for its proposed desalination plant in Huntington Beach. Those same board members received an informational presentation on what the Poseidon proposal would look like once it returns to quasi-judicial water agency, Feb. 8.

One board member called the presentation a snapshot of where the proposal at the time of the presentation, and elements of what was presented could change when the quasi-judicial agency re-visits the Poseidon plan for permit approval. Board members also questioned the use of old data supplied to Water Boards staff.

Poseidon’s proposed desalination plant, which would convert saltwater to drinkable freshwater, will be the first-ever of its type in Orange County and the second one of its type in Southern California; the company behind the Huntington Beach proposal is currently operating a desalination plan it built at Carlsbad, which is just north of San Diego.

Regional water boards staff labeled the Poseidon project as “complex” and time-consuming. Poseidon apparently submitted more than 200 documents and reports to the regional water board for review, Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board Executive Director Hope A. Smythe told board members. Updates to the proposed project under consideration include mitigation needs, intake and onshore location.

The plant would occupy 12 acres on Pacific Coast Highway and produce 50 million gallons of potable water daily. The seawater intake required to produce such an amount of potable

water, each day: 107 million gallons. The daily brine discharge, accordingly, would be 57 million gallons. Water would be collected via subsurface intake. Brine would be discharged back into the ocean.

The proposed Poseidon plant, under state law, must use best available measures to minimize intake and mortality of all forms of marine life. Poseidon must also abide by a salinity limit and monitoring. Discharged salinity, specifically, must not be greater than two parts per thousand greater than its natural level, within a specified range.

Another requirement: mitigation. Poseidon must, for example, The regional water quality board overseeing projects and policy in Orange County received an update on Poseidon’s plans for a desalination plant in Huntington Beach. The water board’s staff received several substantive questions mitigate any loss of marine life about the proposed saltwater-to-freshwater conversion project. of habitat during construction or operation of the desalination plant.

Out-of-kind mitigation, meanwhile, is where Poseidon would create or restore a habitat “more biologically productive” than directly affected by the plant.

A few outstanding items still remain for Poseidon to address, according to Smythe, such as completing a feasibility analysis and submitting its Marine Life Mitigation Plan. The regional water board expects to have a 45-day public review period. Board members could decide on the desalination plant proposal in late fall.

Barbara Boxer, California’s former U.S. Senator, was present at the regional water board meeting and explained by a project like Poseidon is necessary.

“Climate change isn’t waiting. It’s here. It’s serious,” Boxer told regional water board members. “Clean, drinkable, safe water, that’s the essence of life itself. If you don’t have that you

Avalon’s new Vons is finally open for business

By Parimal M. Rohit

AVALON—The only incorporated city on any of the Channel Islands finally has its brand new supermarket, after years of planning.

Vons, which previously had two small locations in Avalon, finally opened its larger, consolidated market on Catalina Island in late January. The new Vons is located at the corner of Sumner Avenue and Beacon Street, right above Golf Gardens.

Plans to consolidate two small Vons locations into one larger store have been proactively in the works since 2015, when the local City Council approved the project after a lengthy special hearing.

Construction began in late 2017 and continued through most of 2018.

Hundreds of supporters and Avalon residents attended the store’s grand opening in late January.

Agency’s vote completes amendment process for Port of San Diego’s Port Master Plan.

By Parimal M. Rohit SAN DIEGO—The Port of San Diego’s plan to bring an outdoor performance venue to a marina waterfront earned yet another approval from the California Coastal Commission, Feb. 7. Commissioners formally accepted the port district’s Board of Port Commissioners’ adoption of a Port Master Plan amendment, paving the way for the Bayside Performance Project to continue forward with its currently proposed plans.

The commission’s action, according to Coastal Commission staff, completes the amendment process for San Diego’s Port Master Plan and the Bayside Performance Park project.

Commissioners formally certified the Port of San Diego’s Master Plan amendment on Nov. 8, 2018, an action

requiring the port district’s board to accept by resolution. The resolution of acceptance came on Dec. 11, 2018, during the final Board of Port Commissioners meeting of 2018.

The Coastal Commission’s vote on Feb. 7 completed the formal process, essentially allowing the Bayside Performance Park project to elevate to the next procedural level.

Final adoption of the Port Master Plan amendment signifies the Coastal Commission is satisfied with the port district’s efforts to address substantive issues such as public access and sea level rise adaptations.

Bayside Performance Park, which could cost $45 million to build, should start to become a reality as 2019 moves forward, as the Coastal Commission and port district seemingly on the same page. Port district officials have been angling to bring the permanent outdoor concert venue online for quite some time now, as part of a larger effort to revitalize the Downtown San Diego waterfront.

Once completed the new Bayside Performance Park would be open to the general public for 85 percent of the year. The concert venue would host four free public events annually, including performances on Memorial Day and Labor Day. Other perks available to the public would include free admission to rehearsals, free music education events It appears the last procedural hurdle in front of Bayside Performance Park has been cleared, allowing the project to move and reduced ticket pricing. forward as currently proposed.

State Senate bill proposes minor tweaks to ocean resources management policy Non-substantive update clarifies depth of state law’s intent by adding two words and changing two others.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SACRAMENTO—California’s almost 20-year state policy on ocean resource management could be receiving the most cosmetic of updates, thanks to a new bill proposed by State Sen. Scott Wiener. The proposal – Senate Bill 69, or SB 69 – admittedly states it would make non-substantive changes to current state law. Two new words would be introduced, while two occurrences of “which” would be replaced with “that,” based upon The Log’s reading of SB 69.

No other elements of the state law on ocean resource management would be changed.

It is unclear whether the dedication of time needed for the legislature and state governor’s office to deliberate (and potentially approve) minor – and non-substantive – changes necessary.

Here are the specific changes proposed under Wiener’s bill: • The first sentence of Section 36002 of the Public Resources Code would be updated to include the phrase “all of” and read, “It is the policy of the State of California to all of the following …”

• The word “which” would be replaced with “that” on two occasions: • “Encourage ocean resources development which that is environmentally sound, sustainable and economically beneficial,” and • “Ensure effective participation

in federal planning and management of ocean resources and uses which that may affect this state….”

Would already established law have a more focused vision by adding the phrase “all of” in the code’s first sentence and changing two occurrences of “that” later in the policy?

There are six provisions within the California Ocean Resources Management Act of 1990: • Assess the long-term value and benefits of ocean conservation and resources development • Encourage environmentally sound, sustainable and economically beneficial ocean resources development • Assert state interests when cooperating with federal agencies on ocean resources management • Ensure resources management in state and federal waters are efficient and coordinated • Understand the ocean ecosystem through research, study, and understanding of ocean processes and resources, and • “Encourage research and development of innovative, environmentally compatible marine technologies for protection, exploration and utilization of ocean resources,” according to language of SB 69.

The California Ocean Resources Management Act of 1990 established the California Ocean Resources Management Program, whose mission is to coordinate conservation, enhancement and management of the state’s ocean resources for the benefit of current and future generations.

Wiener introduced SB 69 on the State Senate floor on Jan. 9 and for-

warded to the upper house’s Rules Committee a few days later. A legislative analysis of SB 69 has not yet been conducted or published.

The state legislature, through

the California Ocean Protection Act, has declared our coastal and ocean resources as critical to our economic and environmental security.

A Year in Review The California Boater Card received its year in review presentation by Evan Becker, a program analyst with the Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW), after its first year in existence.

Becker’s presentation, which was made at the Feb. 7 DBW meeting, concluded the new boater education mandate was so far, so good. He reported favorable information about the first year, adding some boaters were happy to show off their new vessel operation cards at events like the Fred Hall Show.

In 2018, Becker said there were 23,000 applicants and 19,000 cards were issued. DBW’s official website was visited 250,000 times, according to Becker. He added the website had to be updated since a much larger percentage of visitors were accessing it from a mobile device – the updates were to accommodate mobile users to make their experience more appealing. As one might predict, the peak applications were between May and July (the height of boating season) and the least amount of applications received were during winter months.

Though there are many in-person courses provided on boating safety (The Log’s boating classes section promotes in-person courses in every issue), 71 percent of boaters took an online course to qualify for the Boater Card. Home study was the next most popular way with 21 percent of students choosing that option. Classroom and on-the-water courses were only a small sliver of the pie at 8 percent. The most popular course was Boat U.S.’s

SACRAMENTO—California’s Boater Card, a little more than one year after its roll out, is starting to make its way onto vessels. By 2025, all adults will be expected to carry one while operating a boat. There are still some matters, however, to work out on a card seemingly created to legally mandate boaters to take a safety course before they get behind the wheel of the boat.

Similar to a written driver’s test, the card validates a vessel operator’s knowledge of the water – at least from an information standpoint. As the boater card has been legally required for some age groups for a year, how have boaters taken to this new policy?

Here’s a little more about the card, what it does and doesn’t do and how all adults will eventually be required to carry one on them whenever they’re navigating California’s waters.

Most Popular Class

Free Boat U.S. (30%) free offering, followed by Boat Ed and DBW. It was also found residents in all but nine states had applied for the card.

Becker also stated a public hearing was being held for feedback on the Boater Card later the same day of the DBW meeting. The Log reached out to DBW to gather information about what took place, but an update was not given by press time. Any further information provided by DBW’s staff will be updated online or in a future article.

How did the California Boater Card come into existence?

On Sept. 18, 2014 Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 941 (SB 941) into law, which prohibits the navigation of a boat without a DBW issued boater card. Language of the bill also states that the required amount to fund the program should not exceed $4 million and required that the division would need to develop the vessel operation cards by Jan. 1, 2018. In order to bring boaters up to date gradually, in the first year boaters ages 16 to 20 were required to hold the card while steering a vessel; failure to meet the requirements would result in a fine.

Another requirement by the bill was that DBW would have to give the first review of the card by April 1, 2019, which was met with the presentation

by Becker. From then on, DBW will need to give an annual update to share information. The division will have to post on its official website “specified recommendations relating to the program” for two other dates thereafter – April 1, 2023 and April 1, 2028.

What purpose does the card serve and how will it evolve?

As one of the nation’s favorite pastimes, recreational boating safety has always been a priority. In DBW’s 2016 California Recreational Boating

2018 was the first year that boaters ages 16 to 20 were required to carry a California Boater Card while operating a vessel on the state’s waters. By 2025, everyone regardless of age or residency will be required to hold the vessel operation card.

Accident Statistics, it was reported the majority of accidents were due to operator error, with 32 percent of accidents happening from “operator inattention” and 25 percent from “operator inexperience.” Excessive speed was cited at 15 percent.

By mandating that boaters, especially new boaters, must take a safety course before getting on the water, it’s clear DBW’s main goal is to ensure boaters are receiving proper safety education. Will this prevent all the accidents on the water? Probably not.

However it is possible to correct some behaviors or misconceptions about boating that do lead to accidents and could make some more aware if the alternative is being fined.

During the meeting, Becker stated the most popular way for boaters to earn their card is to take the free online test provided by Boat U.S. This begs the question of whether the license is really that similar to an automobile license

since there is no hands-on practical boating operation test that must be passed to certain standards in person.

At this point, all the card does is show government-issued proof that boaters understand basic safety and navigational procedures while operating a vessel.

Some courses had been grandfathered in so adults older than 20 during the first year of the California Boater Card could apply with a recent course.

However, this year any course or certificate program taken before 2018 will no longer meet requirements to qualify for the California Boater Card. The card at its current cost is $10 and lasts a lifetime, meaning no other courses will be necessary in the future.

Shoreline Marina, located near Downtown Long Beach, will be updated, costing nearly $575,000.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein LONG BEACH—Bellingham Marine Industries, Inc., a reputable marine construction group involved with many coastal projects in Southern California, was awarded the contract to upgrade a fire suppression system for Shoreline Marina in Long Beach. In the project’s contract, it is stated the total budget should not exceed $571,643.

In a consent calendar agenda item, City Council voted to green-light the contract.

According to a staff report, “City Council approval is requested to enter into a contract with Bellingham Marine Industries, Inc. (Bellingham), for the rehabilitation of the fire suppression system for Shoreline Marina. Given the importance of the safety to our boating community, the city of Long Beach … has identified Shoreline Marina as requiring an update to the fire suppression system, which was last upgraded in 2007, to meet the City Fire Code requirements.”

The staff report further described that an engineering consultant had been hired to save money and increase safety due to the upgraded requirement per the City Fire Code. On Aug. 29, 2018, a request for proposals (RFP) was advertised in Long Beach Press-

Telegram. In the city’s electronic bidding system, 19 proposers downloaded the RFP requirements.

Bellingham Marine has worked in many coastal cities along Southern California and is no stranger to Long Beach. On April 27, 2018, The Log covered a ribbon cutting ceremony to unveil the new Alamitos Bay Marina, which included a $105 million overhaul of the boating venue with 1,600 Bellingham Marine, which has worked with the city of Long Beach before, will be upgrading the fire suppression system at Shoreline slips.

Top concern for boaters: ethanol and misfueling NMMA policy survey reveals E15 as number one hot-button issue in boating world.

By Parimal M. Rohit

NATIONWIDE—Ethanol topped the list of what issues matter most to boaters and industry leaders, according to a National Marine Manufacturers

Association (NMMA) policy survey.

The public sector also acknowledged the importance of addressing ethanol and boating, as two House of Representatives members are pushing an E15-themed bill through the legislative process; E15 fuels are gasoline blends containing 15 percent ethanol.

NMMA’s policy survey found ethanol was the most pertinent of issues facing boaters in 2018; the other four issues on the list were recreational fish-

ing, tax, trade and boating safety.

Conservation, infrastructure and workforce were also identified as key issues facing the recreational boating industry, according to the NMMA survey.

The surveys indication of ethanol being front and center of what matters most to recreational boaters dovetails into the efforts of Reps. Lois Frankel,

D-Florida, and Austin Scott, R-Georgia, to prevent misfueling of E15. Both representatives recently reintroduced the Consumer Protection and Fuel Transparency Act in order to regulate misfueling in light of 15 percent ethanol blends potentially becoming available year-round.

The fee, which would have amounted to $17, was nixed due to being unwelcoming towards local/transient boaters.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein NEWPORT BEACH—Southern California boaters spend a hefty sum to rent moorings and slips, so it’s no surprise that some Newport Beach boaters, including members of the City Council and Harbor Commission, were not keen of the idea of adding an application fee for moorings. At a harbor commission meeting on Feb. 13, commissioners deliberated on a suggestion from city council on whether the fee was reasonable.

Commissioners voted unanimously to remove the application fee, amounting to $17, for boaters, citing it was unwelcoming.

During the Harbor Commission meeting, commissioners mentioned this fee was not administered in any other marina in Southern California, something City Council member Brad Avery also mentioned during the most recent City Council meeting.

“I do quite a bit of traveling on my boat. I’ve never paid a sign-up fee,” Avery, a former Harbor Commission member, said during the Jan. 22 City Council meeting. “Avalon doesn’t do that, Santa Barbara, they don’t do that. I’m just thinking in terms of the customer.”

The City Council approved updated fees for harbor users but balked at the $17 application fee during the Jan. 22 meeting; council members sent the application fee issue back to the Harbor Commission for reconsideration.

Boating and Waterways Commission elects new leadership Virginia Madueño succeeds Randy Short as commission chair, while Brian Cooley is elected as vice chair.

SACRAMENTO—California’s Division of Boating and Waterways Commission experienced a smooth transition of power during its first meeting of 2019.

The only “controversy” was whether anyone would butcher the new chairperson’s last name.

Commissioner Virginia Madueño was elected as chair of the state’s largest body or commission dedicated to boating, Feb. 7. Madueño, during voting, jokingly told her colleagues she would only accept the chairmanship if everyone agreed to pronounce her last name correctly. Someone had fumbled the pronunciation of her last name during the nomination period a few minutes earlier.

The six commissioners present also elected Brian Cooley as vice chair; both Madueño and Cooley were unopposed in their respective candidacies and

Commissioner Virginia Madueño succeeds Randy Short as chair of California’s Boating and Waterways Commission.

unanimously selected to their leadership positions.

Madueño, who represents the city of Riverbank, was appointed to the Boating and Waterways Commission by then governor Jerry Brown and has served since 2013. She said while she did not grow up in the boating world she will take every opportunity she could to learn as much as possible about the pastime.

“I stand here as somebody who

didn’t grow up in boating. I have learned a lot in the past four years. I am not going to pretend to be something that I am not,” Madueño said.

The new commission chair recalled her conversation with Brown’s office when she received the call about her nomination to the commission.

Madueño specifically stated she did not feel qualified for the position but was more than happy to absorb as much as she could about boating and recreational activities on the water.

“When I did get the call from the governor’s office, I did say I am not the most qualified for this position, in the traditional sense. I am not a boater, I do not know very much about boating and I don’t know much about recreational water,” Madueño, whose current commission term expires in 2021, said. “I would always make sure that I would take the best interest of the community and ensure the protection of the resources that we allocate to ensure that we … improve this industry.”

In addition to advising on California’s many boating issues Madueño is also the president of Imagen LLC, a marketing and publicity company she founded almost 18 years

ago. Madueño was mayor of Riverbank from 2009 to 2012.

She succeeds outgoing chair Short, who joined the commission in 2014; his term expires this year. Short was Almar Management’s Chief Operating Officer between 1998 and 2000; he has served as the company’s president since 2000.

Almar Management operates 17 marinas in California, Hawai’i and Mexico.

Cooley, meanwhile, hails from Alameda and joined the commission in 2018; his term expires in 2021. He is a member (and past commodore) of Oakland Yacht Club.

Also serving on the commission are David Livingston, Douglas W. Metz and Frank Peralta.

Katherine Pettibone was the commission’s previous vice chair; her term expired in 2018.

Commissioners met Feb. 7 in Sacramento, one day after a coordinated field trip along the SacramentoSan Joaquin Delta (the trip started in Pittsburg and ended in Sacramento).

The Feb. 7 agenda included reports on boat launch facilities and aquatic invasive species programs, as well as a discussion on the California Boater Card.

Rain, wind and wind-driven rain

in unexpected places. I remember a befuddling steady drip, drip, drip from a wall-mounted cabinet in our master stateroom, nowhere near a likely source.

Where, oh where had that originated? Arv eventually found the leak, half a boat-length away, but it was tricky to locate because the conventional tool for isolating leaks – flooding a likely area with a hose – doesn’t work when the leak shows up only when strong winds accompany rain.

Wind alone of course can do major damage to a boat. After every storm or period of high winds Arv checks all our canvas. Often he’s found our aging bimini with wind-ripped seams or zippers and newly developed tears in the fabric. On neighboring boats we’ve noticed canvas partially blown off, including a bimini flapping in the wind, barely clinging to one support, and another boat’s dinghy cover with ripped tie-downs, wrapped around the bow pulpit. If you leave anything on the deck, make sure it’s well secured or heavy enough to resist the force of strong winds. Check that your antenna supports are sturdy and fishing equipment well stowed or tied down.

SAN DIEGO—Have you noticed rain driven by significant winds affects your boat differently from rain or wind alone?

Each singly can be benign, providing a gentle dousing or delightfully filled sails, but rain and wind together can multiply their effect, creating a damaging double whammy.

I originally noticed this when we had our first winter drenching after we bought Burgundy and brought her to San Diego. It was Thanksgiving weekend, our initial effort to introduce our landlubber cats to the boat after finally finishing our “cat proofing” efforts and adding an array of feline paraphernalia for their safety, comfort and entertainment.

Then the storm hit, light rain at first followed by waves of wind-driven torrents, demonstrating previously undiscovered leaks. Our two terrorized cats huddled in the master head, upset by the noise and water pouring through the master stateroom’s escape hatch, saturating everything underneath, including the carpet and freshly reupholstered sofa.

Later, as I prepared our Thanksgiving dinner, I discovered water sprinkled over the cook-top. The galley windows weren’t leaking, but rain apparently blew in through the overhead vent.

Military boating organization will also make $45,000 in capital improvements to leased space.

By Parimal M. Rohit

LONG BEACH—The Navy Yacht Club in Long Beach will continue to operate out of city-owned property at 223 Marina Drive, thanks to a lease amendment approved by the local City Council, Feb. 5.

Navy Yacht Club’s new lease includes a provision calling for the nonprofit boating organization to invest up to $45,000 into the leased premises as part of overall capital improvements. The capital improvement provision was offered in lieu of annual Consumer Price Index adjustments, according to Long Beach city staff.

The lease terms includes two renewal options, each for five years.

Terms of the current lease retroactively began on Dec. 1, 2018 and will end on Nov. 30, 2023. The lease would continue until 2033 if both five-year options were exercised.

“In lieu of annual Consumer Price Index adjustments, [Navy Yacht Club] will make capital improvements totaling $30,000 to the leased premises during the initial term of five years

of the Amended and Restated Lease,” city staff stated in a report to City Council members.

“Upon exercising and memorializing the first option to renew, [Navy Yacht Club] will make an additional $15,000 in capital improvements, for a total investment of $45,000 to the leased premises.”

City staff stated Navy Yacht Club uses the city-owned property, featuring a 300-squarefoot building on 3,500 square feet of land, for office space, meetings Navy Yacht Club of Long Beach, which is currently located at this portion of Alamitos Bay Marina, updated its lease terms with and social events. the city.

Costs of annual environmental consulting services for Marina del Rey’s copper mitigation plan jumps from $150,000 to $500,000.

By Parimal M. Rohit

LOS ANGELES—Marina del Rey’s fight against copper pollution will become more costly, what with the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approving a contract adjustment to fund environmental consulting services for management of toxic pollutants and bacteria at Southern California’s largest recreational boating harbor.

Supervisors approved the contract changes, which would cover the county’s Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) regulations for the Marina del Rey area, on Feb. 19.

The value of the county’s As-Needed Environmental Consulting Services Master Agreement will be increased $350,000, annually, during the length of the contract. The updated contract, which runs for up to seven years if all options are picked up along the way, would be worth $3,850,000 - up from the $1,155,000 originally approved by supervisors.

Each year’s environmental consulting services fee would cost the county $500,000, up from $150,000 annually. The total contract amount also includes a 10 percent contingency - $3.5 million for the environmental consulting services and $350,000 for contingency.

bers of the Congressional Boating Caucus, introduced the bill on Feb. 6, almost two months after they jointly sent a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency about concerns they had with a proposed policy on yearround availability of E15.

“With the EPA working to authorize year-round sales of E15 ahead of the 2019 summer season, the Consumer Protection and Fuel Transparency Act is needed now more than ever,” NMMA President Thom Dammrich said in a released statement. “Representative Frankel and Representative Scott have been tireless advocates in the effort to protect countless American consumers and 141 million recreational boaters from the dangers of misfueling.”

The bill introduced by Frankel and Scott pushes for more detailed labeling at fuel pumps where E15 gasoline is pumped. E15 fuels aren’t suitable for recreational boats, according to boating industry leaders, as it causes corrosion and reduced fuel storage. Other modes of transportation negatively affected by E15 fuels include all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), automobiles manufactured before 2001, lawn mowers, motorcycles and weed eaters.

choices at the gas pump, it is imperative that American consumers know exactly what kind of fuel they are putting into their engines. Gas pumps today are riddled with confusing labels and fail to adequately warn consumers of the dangers of fueling small engine equipment with E15,” Scott said in a released statement on Feb. 6, shortly after reintroducing the Consumer Protection and Fuel Transparency Act. “I introduced the Consumer Protection and Fuel Transparency Act … to ensure that E15 is more clearly labeled and consumers are made better aware of the damages misfueling can cause to their vehicles, power equipment, and boats,” Scott continued.

“By making fuel pump labels easier to decipher and coordinating public education programs at multiple levels, this legislation can save consumers time and energy at the pumps and avoid headaches and costs down the road.”

Other specific policy concerns within the recreational boating and fishing world, according to the NMMA survey, include aquatic invasive species, red tides and harmful algal bloom, boat recycling and derelict vessels, water access, vessel titling, current condition of boat launch ramps and anchorage restrictions.

Catalina Connection Avalon’s Bird Park was once a busy tourist attraction and was immortalized in “The Wizard of Oz” AVALON—Catalina Island has been home to many incredible things, from the buffalo planted there through the Hollywood film industry to a spring training ground for the Chicago Cubs during the Wrigley years. One of the lesser known attractions that at one time flourished was Avalon’s Bird Park, an aviary housing nearly 8,000 birds.

According to a blog post on visitcatalinaisland.com, Avalon’s Bird Park was even sourced for sounds of the 1939 classic film by MGM that also happened to be the first color picture: “The Wizard of Oz.” Judy Garland starred in the Technicolor movie, which for the time had very advanced special effects.

The blog says: “The sound crew [for “The Wizard of Oz”] recorded more than 15,000 feet of birdcalls, chirps and singing. The recordings were considered to be [the] most complete

By Parimal M. Rohit

LONG BEACH—The Long Beach Arena and neighboring Convention Center will become a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, March 6-10, as the Fred Hall Shows returns for 2019 with its flagship event in Southeast Los Angeles County.

Also on tap at the Long Beach show will be the largest marine accessory display in all of California, hundreds of fishing tackle booths, acres of boats, casting ponds, kayak demonstrations, and more than 400 seminars.

Bakersfield picks up almost immediately where Long Beach will leave off, as Central California hosts the second of three Fred Hall Show events in March. Doors for the Bakersfield show open March 15; the show will continue through March 17. The exposition is officially known as the Fred Hall Central Valley Sports Show.

Fred Hall’s Central Valley Sports Show has also been around for about 40-some years – but is a relatively new addition to the Fred Hall lineup.

Del Mar will host the final Fred Hall Show of 2019, with anglers, boaters and other outdoor enthusiasts expected to pack the local fairgrounds between March 28 and 31.

The Long Beach and Del Mar shows will feature a Costa Sporting chef café, Accurate Saltwater Aquarium seminars, Mammoth Lakes seminar stage, kids fish free trout pond, Hobie Kayak test rides on the Hyatt Lagoon, Ram

All three Fred Hall Shows are hailed as the “ultimate outdoor experience.”

The Long Beach iteration is the “granddaddy of them all,” celebrating its 73rd year come March 6. Del Mar’s show, which will be held at Del Mar Fairgrounds just north of San Diego, is celebrating its 43rd year.

Hundreds of free seminars, geared to anglers and outdoors enthusiasts of all experience levels, will be featured at all three shows.

Show Hours Show hours are 1-9 p.m. weekdays, 10 a.m.-8:30 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Sunday. Regular admission is $18 for adults, $16 for seniors age 62 and up, $13 for Military with ID and free for children 15 and younger with a paid adult.

Tickets can be purchased in advance at fredhall.com or in person at the door.

For details, visit fredhall.com.

The Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center is located at 300 E. Ocean Boulevard in Downtown Long Beach.

by Craig Maurer and his wife Jay. Family-owned and operated, located just minutes from Newport Bay. “Garrett continues to be our helpful source in the parts dept. with outstanding customer service,” said Jay. “It’s no wonder we have so many repeat customers. Garrett has been our office manager now for eleven years since graduating from ASU School of business. We are so fortunate he decided to head back to the beach from the desert!”

Daughter Brynn, learning from brother Garrett, knows the schematics of motors and how to look up any part.

“She really adds another dimension to our business with her abilities to handle parts, the shipping center, help with payroll and picking up and delivering boats!” states Jay. In her free time she enjoys boating, hunting, jogging with the family labs and her passion of taxidermy.

The latest family member to join the team is youngest son Philip who is now the go-to sales person, with many years of experience in boating and sailing. Phil has been a great asset this last year in their sales and inflatable repair department.

Phil enjoys surfing and traveling to Mexico. He will be ready and willing to help you into a new boat or re-power to get you ready for the hot summer ahead.

Their boat lines include Avon Inflatables, Zodiac Boats, Novurania and Walker Bay. Any of these superior boat lines are a must for the Southern California boater heading to Catalina Island or just enjoying our beautiful coastline.

There were four races scored in this class; Legend finished first in the first two races and second in the third, but a poor showing in the fourth race earned the vessel 10 points – the worst possible score – and cost Senturia a shot at winning the class. Kraken’s fourth-place finish in the third race was the difference between a first and second place finish for Shepherd.

Interlodge VI, meanwhile, dom-

inated the Pac52 class, which only featured three boats in competition.

The class featured seven races, which Interlodge VI finishing first in six of those legs (8 points total at finish).

Frank Slootman (Tahoe Yacht Club) claimed first place in the six race aboard Invisible Hand, but the boat’s 15 points was almost double the final score of Interlodge VI, which was helmed by Austin and Gwen Fragomen (New York Yacht Club).

San Diego YC’s Tom Holthus finished third (out of three boats) in the Pac52 race; Holthus helmed BadPak and finished with 19 points.

The Transpac 52 class, meanwhile, featured five boats competing in seven scored races. Vesper, helmed by David Team of Newport Harbor Yacht Club, finished in first place with nine points (corrected time, 6:58:09); she finished first in six of the seven races. Team guided Vesper to a first-place finish in the first four and final two races; she came in third in the fifth race, behind WASABI and Rio.

The start of 2019 has been wet, windy and cold – making it difficult for anglers to get out on the water. But there have been a few breaks in the weather. Pacific Queen was out on the water on Feb. 10, when this angler reeled a nice lingcod over the rails. Yellowtail and quality rockfish were also caught on the fishing trip.

Memorandum of Agreement with recreational fishing organizations would provide opportunities for saltwater anglers.

By Parimal M. Rohit

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced it signed off on a Memorandum of Agreement with several recreational fishing organizations, Feb. 15. The meeting of the minds would allow for NOAA Fisheries and NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries to promote what the federal agency describes as the “greater social and economic benefits from sustainable recreational fishing and boating.”

Joining in on NOAA’s Memorandum of Agreement, which was reached at the Miami Boat Show, were American Sportfishing Association, Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation.

“Saltwater recreational fishing is a

staple of coastal communities around the country,” NOAA Fisheries’ Assistant Administrator Chris Oliver stated in his formal announcement of the accord.

“The Agreement, a milestone for NOAA, bolsters public-private sector cooperation promoting sustainable and responsible recreational fishing and boating opportunities in federal waters, including National Marine Sanctuaries.

It establishes a formal framework for communication and collaboration on mutually beneficial projects which will help advance NOAA Fisheries’ goals of supporting and promoting sustainable saltwater recreational fisheries for the benefit of the nation,” Oliver continued.

Oliver acknowledged the contributions anglers and boaters make to the economy.

“According to a 2018 study by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, outdoor recreation represented 2.2 percent of the U.S. economy in 2016, with boating and fishing being the largest contributor within the recreational sector of the economy,” Oliver stated in his announcement. “With the activities of more than 10 million saltwater anglers having supported 472,000 jobs, generated $68 billion in sales impacts, and contributed roughly $39 billion to the

Signing off on the Memorandum of Agreement at the Miami International Boat Show were John Armor, NOAA’s director of national marine sanctuaries, Sam Rauch, NOAA’s deputy assistant administrator for regulatory programs

and Frank Peterson, President and CEO of the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation.

“This partnership will not only help improve fishing and boating experiences overall, but also support the conservation of our marine aquatic resources,” Peterson said, adding the Memorandum of Agreement facilitated NOAA’s angler recruitment, retention and reactivation efforts.

TIGHT LINES — By Parimal M. Rohit

NOAA offers $20,000 reward in sea lion shootings case SEATTLE—The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), through its Office of Law Enforcement, has offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to a civil penalty or criminal conviction in the case involving shootings of sea lions in the West Seattle area.

NOAA officials stated 12 sea lions were shot in the Seattle metropolitan area since September 2018; an X-ray of one of the shot sea lions was shared on NOAA’s West Coast Fisheries webpage.

Punishment for harming sea lions, which are protected by the Marine Mammal Protection Act, or MMPA, can include any combination of the follow-

ing: $28,520 (per count) in civil penalties, one year in prison, criminal fines and forfeiture of vessel (if involved in the violation of the MMPA).

“Sea lion shootings have become a regular occurrence in the Pacific Northwest during fall and winter, when male sea lions travel north from their rookeries in the Channel Islands in Southern California to feed. The number of shootings confirmed so far this winter is substantially greater than other recent years,” NOAA staff stated.

“The MMPA prohibits harassment, hunting, capturing, or killing of marine mammals,” NOAA staff continued.

“However, the law contains exceptions allowing non-lethal methods to deter marine mammals from damaging private property, including fishing gear and catch, so long as it does not result in the death or serious injury of an animal.”

Anyone with information on the Seattle area sea lion shootings can contact the case agent directly at 206-526-4300 or the 24/7 hotline for reporting marine resource violations at 800-853-1964.

Report a dead, injured, or stranded marine mammal to the West Coast Marine Mammal Stranding Network by calling 866-767-6114.

determine if a [California Endangered Species Act] listing by the Commission may be warranted,” a Department of Fish and Wildlife statement said.

“CDFW, after review of the best scientific information available, will make a recommendation to the commission on whether to list Spring Chinook Salmon as either endangered or threatened, or that listing is not warranted at this time.”

The Fish and Game Commission did approve a few emergency inland salmon fishing closures at its February meetings, all regulating Northern California waterways and quotas.

Salmon fishing was closed at three locations at the Klamath and Trinity rivers, for example.

“Along with its adoption of the emergency regulations, the commission also directed CDFW to work with stakeholders, including affected counties, fishing organizations, tribes and conservation groups, to investigate options to allow some Spring Chinook Salmon fishing in 2019,” the Department of Fish and Wildlife statement continued. “Under Section of 2084 of Fish and Game Code, the Commission can consider hook-andline recreational fishing on a Candidate Species. CDFW will present the results of that stakeholder collaboration and potential options using Section 2084 at the commission’s next public meeting, which will be held April 17 in Santa Monica.”

Anglers can keep up with the status of salmon fishing in Northern California by calling 800-564-6479.

SAN DIEGO—The recent onslaught of weather systems – which have brought high seas, wind and rain to Southern California – have kept anglers off the water and indoors several days during the past several weeks. We also had Small Craft Advisories posted from the evening of Feb. 15 to through Feb. 18 (the three-day President’s Day holiday weekend). Anglers, nonetheless, have been able to get out on the water on the days of decent weather between storms – though they have had to watch the marine weather forecasts closely and use good judgment in picking those good weather days.

The current 10-day weather forecast calls for just three days where there is greater than a 10 percent chance of rain, so maybe there are some improving conditions in store for anglers to get back out on the water more often and fish. No matter what time of year, it is good practice to always check the latest marine weather forecast before going boating or fishing.

There have not been any boats out fishing offshore waters lately in an effort to relocate the bluefin tuna and kelp paddie yellowtail that were around and biting into the late part of January. There was a recent report by a skipper who was out looking for whales who was thinking he was seeing breaking bluefin tuna under working birds in an area where there were some whales and porpoise. His report was that he was seeing what he thought were likely breaking bluefin tuna under working birds while 2.5 miles outside of South Carlsbad in about 100 fathoms of water.

Relentless out of H&M Landing fished a weekend two-day trip on Feb. 9 and 10 and had 16 anglers catch 160 reds, 150 rockfish, five lingcod, one yellowtail and one sheephead.

The last report from Los Coronado Islands was when Malihini out of H&M Landing fished the Coronados on Feb. 11.

Capt. Bill Wilkerson reported very good fishing for a mix of reds, lingcod, whitefish, sheephead and an assortment of rockfish.

The surface fishing was scratchy that day but they did have a single bonito within their catch. The fish count on Malihini was 25 anglers on a full day trip catching 125 reds, 75 rockfish, 44 whitefish, three sculpin, two sheephead and one bonito.

Good areas for the bottom fishing have been at the South Kelp Ridge while fishing in 25 to 40 fathoms of water and at the hard bottom areas to the north and northwest of North Island while fishing in 35 to 50 fathoms of water. Best area for a chance at finding some surface fishing action has been while fishing along the weather side of North Island.

Premier out of H&M Landing has been running weekday half-day trips into Mexican waters that usually target rockfish. On these trips they tend to fish the lower end of the 9 Mile Bank and the hard bottom to the north and northwest

of North Island. Their most recent trip targeting rockfish was Feb. 15; the 23 anglers aboard the half-day trip caught an assortment of 229 rockfish and one sheephead.

Anglers fishing on the United States side of the Mexico border need to keep in mind the annual two-month rockfish/ groundfish closure went into effect on Jan. 1, 2019. The end of the closure is fast approaching but Anglers seeking to fish for the rockfish/groundfish species covered by the closure need to go to Mexican waters to fish for those species until the closure comes to an end on March 1.

Boats fishing coastal trips have been able to do some occasional fishing in decent weather between the weather systems and the fishing along the San Diego County coast continues to provide a mix of sand bass, calico bass and sculpin as well as a few halibut. There has not been much to report in the way of recent yellowtail activity but the areas where occasional yellowtail activity has been reported in recent weeks have been at the upper end of La Jolla, the lower end of La Jolla and the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma.

With all the recent bad weather, the last trips out of the Oceanside Sea Center were on Feb. 10 when Chubasco II and Pronto combined to have 26 anglers catch 42 perch, 26 sculpin, 19 calico bass, 15 sand bass and 21 sand bass (released).

The weather systems have been keeping anglers off the water a lot of days but the current 10-day forecast looks to be a bit better. If one watches the weather forecasts closely and picks the good weather days to go out fishing there has been some fun fishing to be found. I hope you can get out there on a nice weather day and enjoy the fun fishing the winter months can offer. Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!

Vanian also provides anglers with a personal fish report service over the telephone at 619-226-8218. He always welcomes your fish reports at that same phone number or at bob976bite@aol. com.
