Huntington Harbour’s first harbor commission meeting slated for this month A group of seven members will survey harbor activity matters, safety, water quality and infrastructure among other waterway-related goals.

HUNTINGTON HARBOUR—At the end of 2018, Huntington Beach City Council approved the newly formed Huntington Harbour Commission, an agency that will be able to provide feedback to council members on subjects related to the waterways of Huntington Harbour. The Log previously delved into a brief cultural history of Huntington Harbour, one of the lesser known harbors in Orange County and certainly along Southern California’s Coast. However, the new commission may be about to change that – at least when it comes to the waters in this area.

In an email with city staff on Jan. 30, The Log was able to discover a few tidbits about the new harbor commission.

The email read, “I don’t think we have a date set for the meetings as they will start in Feb. The Commission will be comprised of seven members and will study and provide advice to City

A few topics on the Huntington Harbour Commission’s agenda, according to city staff, are waterway safety, general infrastructure, seawalls and water quality.

Council.”

Just a few of the topics commissioners will tackle mentioned in the email were waterway safety, general infrastructure such as seawalls and pier headlines, and water quality.

Newport Beach Harbor Commission has cited the death of a paddlerboard user in Huntington Harbour’s waters as reasoning behind recent safety urgings concerning the use of paddleboards. At a later date it was revealed the paddleboard user, who had paid to take lessons in the harbor, could not swim, a shocking revelation to many. However, boaters and others who participate in on-water activities in Huntington

Harbour will now have representation they can turn to when meetings begin.

“The [Harbour] Commission may study, report and analyze issues regarding the Huntington Harbour and may assist in securing financial support for the Harbour, its beaches, parks, and recreational needs. The Commission may advise the Council on all Huntington Harbour related improvements proposed by the City and make recommendations to the City Council for adoption of regulations and programs related to the goals, objectives, and policies of the Harbour,” continued the email.

Last year, Dana Point Harbor suc-

cessfully formed Dana Point Harbor Advisory Board (DPHAB), essentially functioning as a harbor commission, which has since held monthly meetings except for an occasional cancellation. DPHAB has been heavily involved in providing feedback on the new harbor revitalization plan that has begun under new landlords Dana Point Harbor Partners. Avalon, Catalina Island’s only municipality, has also begun discussions about bringing back a harbor commission that dissolved sometime in the early 2000s.

In the past, The Log has written about the value of a harbor commission, especially to recreational boaters, who are given another course of communicating public needs for the waterways, coastal developments and more through these agencies. Of course, these agencies only function as well as the feedback they receive, so The Log always promotes taking action and being involved in policy-making surveys and meetings.

Underwater tent-like equipment allows divers to camp in the ocean

WORLDWIDE—It’s no secret humans are natural explorers. From outer space to the ocean’s floor, human beings look for every opportunity to further seek knowledge about unknown or rarely seen places.

With this natural inclination towards voyaging, it may not come as a big surprise that Ocean Space Habitat, a new underwater tent of sorts, has been unveiled to assist SCUBA divers on deeper, longer quests.

Ocean Space Habitat is an inflatable, portable device that serves to expand conventional SCUBA dive missions.

In an article by National Geographic, the writer discusses some of the more difficult challenges with dive missions including the possibility of decompression sickness, or “the bends,” which is a dangerous condition caused by gas bubbles building up in blood and tissue. This emergency and others can severely impact a dive and put a diver’s life at risk. A few benefits of the new Ocean Space Habitat are more effective dive missions

The museum features the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown and several other ships.

infrastructure and irrigation economic areas, according to researchers KALISPELL, Montana— Researchers are warning that invasive mussels could cost Montana’s economy more than $230 million per year in three key economic sectors: recreation, infrastructure and irrigation.

The Montana Invasive Species Council commissioned the study by the University of Montana Flathead Biological Station.

The Flathead Beacon reports that the study released this week only examined a percentage of the total economic impact that invasive mussels could have on the state.

Council chair Bryce Christiaens says mussels can cover boat launches and beaches and cause damage to the state’s ecosystems and infrastructure.

State wildlife officials have been trying to prevent invasive mussel species from being introduced to the state since 2005.

Larvae were found at Tiber and Canyon Ferry reservoirs in 2016 but so far no adult mussels have been found in Montana.

A business’s proposal to bring glass-bottom kayaks to Avalon Harbor was denied by the local City Council.

Avalon has already met its quota for allowable number of kayaks in the harbor.

Kayak rental proposal denied

by Avalon City Council Harbor quota on watercraft vessel permits would be exceeded had permit application been approved.

By Parimal M. Rohit AVALON—A company’s request to bring its kayak rental operation to Avalon Harbor was rejected by the local City Council, Jan. 15. The city’s quota on “watercraft rentals without operator” – such as kayaks – has already been met, according to a staff report issued to council members.

Crystal Clear Kayak Adventures out of San Diego had hoped to bring its unique offering to Avalon during the city’s peak months – typically March to October each year. The kayaks have transparent bottoms, allowing each user to look underwater, immediately below the watercraft.

Avalon’s Municipal Code, however, only issues 114 “watercraft rentals without operator vessels” permits.

The city had already issued 114 such permits, preventing council members from approving Crystal Clear Kayak Adventures’ application for a waterside project permit.

“The number of permits in Avalon Harbor will exceed those allowed by the Avalon Municipal Code [if Crystal Clear Kayak Adventures’ request is approved],” city staff stated in a report to City Council members.

Sherry Goodman, who applied for the permit on behalf of Crystal Clear Kayak Adventures, sought to have 12 of her company’s kayaks available for rent at Avalon Harbor. She hoped to have the kayaks available for rent on the city’s waterfront. The business, had it been allowed to move forward, would have been operational from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days per week, between April and November.

Goodman was open as to where her business would be allowed to operate.

All 12 kayaks would have been stored in a 7-foot-by-14-foot enclosed trailer during non-business hours, according to Goodman’s application.

Kayak and standup paddleboard

NOW HAULING VESSELS to 200 TONS

rentals are offered by a few businesses on Catalina Island. Descanso Beach Ocean Sports, Joe’s Rent-A-Boat and Wet Spot Rentals provide kayak and standup paddleboard rentals in Avalon, while the same types of personal watercraft are made available for rent by Two Harbors Dive and Recreation Center at the island’s other settled destination.

Recreational Tubing City Council members did, however, approve a waterside project application for Get Tubed, which would offer a recreational tubing experience within Avalon Harbor.

Customers would board a large banana-type tube attached to a 20-foot open bow vessel; the vessel would tow the tube, which can hold up to six people, and navigate the waters in and around the harbor. All riders would be required to wear a Coast Guardapproved personal flotation device.

Each group of riders would be transported to the 20-foot open bow vessel via shoreboat.

Get Tubed, the company offering the tubing experience, would be based inside the office of Catalina Coastal Tours on Catalina Avenue. Tubing would be offered between March 1 and Nov. 1 each year; the business would be open seven days per week within that time, operating between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day.

“Get Tubed takes customers tubing behind an open bow ski boat just outside of Avalon Harbor,” Ryan Johnson, the owner of Get Tubed, told Avalon City Council and staff in his application. “A banana style tube is to be used that can safely hold up to six riders. A USCG certified captain will start the trip off by giving a detailed safety briefing along with providing all the riders with USCG life jackets and helmets.

“Once the captain assists the passengers onto the tube the tow begins and is planned to last from 20 to 30 minutes long,” Johnson’s application statement continued. “From there the captain will navigate the vessel to an area in which provides the best possible sea conditions.”

The Sea of Cortez: Overfished and Dying?

Sea Shepherd is only there to harvest some press coverage – the “real ” news is that the thousands of square miles of what was Colorado River delta is history and has been for 50-75 years and the marshland were an incredible nursery for an environment that no longer exists and likely the conditions that bred the vaquita in the first place. The only thing that we can do now is watch to see what the new conditions will support the best and likely only thing to be done is probably the same thing the Canadians did to the caribou in northern Washington/ southern B.C.: Sweep up the stragglers and place them in an environment where they will not be lost until an environment can be found where they will survive.

It’s unfortunate that Greenpeace can’t see that the northern Sea of Cortez is like the Mediterranean and is nearly dead and is merely involved in a downward spiral of overfishing in a community

where the only local protein comes from the sea.

Re: Newport Beach City Council to review harbor fees and rent for harbor department (issue Jan. 25-Feb. 7)

Harbor taxes, not fees According to California state law, there are only three ways governments can take in money: • taxes • fees • fines We can all agree that slip costs are not fines.

However, according to California law, they are most certainly not fees, as fees have a direct corresponding cost associated with them. If you have to get your business inspected by the city and they pay someone $50/hr to check it out and it takes them 2 hours to do it, then you would be assessed a $100 fee.

If it took that $50/hr person two hours and you were charged $500– or even $101– that is no longer a fee, according to California state law, because the

Harmful Algal Blooms: Don’t Forget About the West Coast NOAA will survey Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico regions, but what about waterborne pathogens striking California?

By Parimal M. Rohit

NATIONWIDE—East Coast Bias – a phrase commonly heard in the sports realm and often used to explain the phenomenon of extra attention given to Atlantic Seaboard or Northeastern issues, often at the expense of equally or more significant issues on the West Coast. Is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, guilty of East Coast Bias in conducting a survey of harmful algal bloom episodes in the Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes and Gulf of Mexico regions, but leaving out waterways in Southern California, Washington

and other West Coast locations?

NOAA’s proposal, issued on Jan. 2, specifically seeks information from three locations east of the Mississippi River concerning waterborne pathogens in three major waterways. Last year’s harmful algal bloom events in Florida, for example, received national attention and even spurred federal legislators in Washington, D.C. to take action. NOAA’s recent proposal and request for information – just as the nation’s longest government shutdown was underway, no less – appears to be a continuation of the action legislators spurred last year.

California’s Pacific coast, for some reason, is not included within NOAA’s request - despite scientists at the University of Southern California found harbors between Santa Barbara and San Diego contained the world’s highest concentration of dangerous algal toxins.

Such toxins, USC’s scientists stated, posed a See STANDING WATCH page 7

The Public Law of Marina del Rey

By Parimal M. Rohit

See COMMENTS page 7

by J.R. Johnson

MARINA DEL REY—Los Angeles – both the city and the county – was nothing to brag about in the 1950s.

Sure it had Hollywood and scenic beaches, but it was nowhere the world-class mega-metropolis it became by the turn of the century.

Much of what we know about and see around Southern California didn’t exist in 1954, for example.

Disneyland was not yet open and Marina del Rey’s large harbor was an idea conceived on paper.

It actually took not one but two acts of Congress to establish Marina del Rey’s place as Southern California’s largest boating destination.

The first act of Congress was on May 13, 1954, when U.S. House Document 389 created an inlet and harbor between Playa del Rey and Venice.

House Document 389 created entrance jetties, an entrance channel, interior channel and central basin.

The second act of Congress was Public Law 780, which was signed by Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower in September 1954. Eisenhower’s

signing of the public law allowed federal funding to pay for the creation of what we now know to be Marina del Rey. Public Law 780 converted 900 acres of Ballona Wetlands into a harbor and recreation area. The estimated cost of realizing Marina del Rey’s jetties, channels and basin was $7,738,000, according to Public Law 780.

Marina del Rey is now home to thousands of recreational boats and several planned redevelopment projects.

direct threat to wildlife and locally caught seafood.

“We are seeing an increase in harmful algal blooms and an increase in severity,” David Caron, a biologist at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, said after the USC survey was published in August 2018.

“The Southern California coast really is a hot spot and our study also shows that the concentrations of particulate domoic acid measured in the region are some of the highest – if not the highest – ever reported.”

Caron is also a researcher with the USC Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies; he co-authored the algal bloom study with postdoctoral researcher Jayme Smith and several others.

The survey found several disturbing results, such as “the world’s highest domoic acid measurement” occuring near San Pedro in March 2011.

San Pedro is home to the Los Angeles Harbor and several recreational boating marinas. The domoic acid levels were at 52.3 micrograms per liter then, roughly five times higher than the usual level of concern, according to USC’s researchers.

“Domoic acid in shellfish can occur at high concentrations off the coast of San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles counties, but it tends to be more prevalent in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties due to local environmental

purpose isn’t to recoup direct costs, it is to raise revenue. Then, the cost turns into a tax.

The purpose of the raising of these costs is NOT a fee, because it is designed to raise revenue. This is a tax increase, and it would be greatly appreciated if The Log could appropriately report proposed tax increases as actual tax increases, rather than reporting that tax increases are “fees”.

Re: Charter operators in San Diego growing restless (issue Jan. 25-Feb. 7)

The enduring charter battle I was there when they started this process two years ago, after being brought to the attention of the Port of San Diego while serving as Co-Chair, and then Chair of the San Diego Harbor Safety Committee. This issue has been front and center for about 4 years total. I know [others] have been battling illegal charters for longer than that. They cut into other legitimate charter business, do not pay Port fees, and do not pay Landing fees. They are unregulated and as such could be dangerous to those who pay to go out on the bay. The Port of San Diego, for whatever reason is dragging their feet and someone is going to get hurt by one of these uninspected vessels.

conditions,” the researchers continued.

The USC study broadly observed the spreading of harmful algal bloom events along the North American coast, from Central California to Alaska, since 2016.

Six people and 12 animals fell ill due to harmful algal blooms in California last year, according to the state’s Water Board – and not all events occurred on the ocean. An August 2018 NBC4 report on algal bloom events stated Southern California’s Lake Elsinore was too dangerous for human contact – specifically because of harmful algal blooms.

A portion of Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard also suffered from an algal bloom event in mid-2018. Red tides and other algal bloom events have offand-on occurred in San Diego during the past few years, as well.

NOAA, meanwhile, hopes to collect information from stakeholders at Chesapeake Bay, the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Erie in an attempt to mitigate the effects of harmful algal blooms and waterborne pathogens.

“Harmful algal blooms (HABs) and waterborne pathogens ... have caused major health, ecological, and economic concerns. HABs and other waterborne pathogens can lead to a number of impacts including impaired drinking water, reduced recreational opportunities, and human health impacts from either ingesting affected fish/water or contact with the bloom,” NOAA staff stated in its Federal Register documentation on the proposed survey.

The federal agency, to be fair, would

use the sample information collected in the Great Lakes, Gulf of Mexico and Mid-Atlantic to further develop its harmful algal bloom forecast products, which would be offered nationwide.

Such a product (or products) would conceivably be beneficial to waterways in California (and the state’s neighbors).

Yet are all algal bloom events the same? Can NOAA truly develop a

TAKE ACTION NOAA expects the survey, participation of which is voluntary, to be completed by 600 respondents. The survey is expected to take 15 minutes to complete, per person. Should stakeholders on the West Coast be included in the survey? The results, of course, could certainly dictate the way NOAA addresses harmful algal bloom events along the Pacific coast (and other inland waterways on the West Coast).

and about the time I left the Harbor Safety Committee, two years ago, all they had to do was draft the ordinance, similar to one they used to have and put the permitting structure in place. Maybe 90 days of work.

From this article, they have not moved any further forward than two years ago and seem to be just putting it off. The staff at the Unified Port District need to get off the ball and get moving on this before some visitor to our waterfront is injured or even worse. They owe it to the legitimate charters who are paying the Port good money for the right to operate on San Diego Bay. Capt. Ken Guyer

Re: Wild West: Sea Lions and Boaters in Oceanside (and Elsewhere) (issue Jan. 25-Feb. 7)

Though Oceanside’s Sea Lion Island works, there are still design flaws The Sea Lion Island in Oceanside, though a very good idea, suffers from a design flaw. Sadly, the deck of the island was constructed in such a way that is sits 4-5” higher than the nearby guest dock fingers.

Predictably, our piniped pals find it much easier to haul out on the dock fingers than on the island. Any other marinas considering this solution should insure that the deck height is low enough so as to not discourage use and that the underwater flotation is sufficient to support the weight of numerous lions.

News Briefs From page 4

Hurricane Michael took Lee Ingram’s boat, but he refused to let his vessel remain another victim of the storm’s wrath.

For 10 years the Panama City native has owned the El Dorado, a 157 foot-long, 300-ton former luxury cruise liner. Ingram had been trying to restore the boat and eventually return it to service. Then came the hurricane, which flushed the boat from its dock in Crooked Creek, across West Bay and left the vessel on its side, just off shore behind Florida State University Panama City.

There the El Dorado has remained as a visual, half-floating reminder to travelers on Hathaway Bridge of the storm’s destructive power.

But within a few months, thanks to Ingram’s donation, the vessel will become something else – an artificial reef for divers and fisherman and a symbol of Bay County’s defiance in the face of devastation.

“I wanted to do something for Bay County,’’ Ingram said.“Life is what you make of it.’’

Work has been underway since after Jan. 14, when the Bay County Board of County Commissioners acquired El Dorado through negotiations with Ingram, the U.S. Coast Guard and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

“The county did not have to pay for it ... the owner didn’t have the means to move it and didn’t want to gut it and sell if for salvage,’’ said Scott Jackson, a sea grant extension agent for the county, who helps with shoreline restoration issues.“So it was given to us for the opportunity to turn it into a reef.’’

Jackson said the plan is, once the Coast Guard’s contractor finishes turning the El Dorado, to prepare the vessel for towing and staging at St. Andrews Marina. Next the volunteers will clean the vessel and deploy it approximately 12 nautical miles south of St. Andrew Bay Pass in Large Area Artificial Reef site A, near DuPont Bridge Spans.

Once moved, the El Dorado will be filled with water and sunk to a depth of about 100 feet.

The entire project will cost the county almost $30,000 from its derelict vessel fund.

“This is good for our fishing industry and our diving industry,” said Bill Dozier, county commissioner.“Anytime we can get a ship of this size and add to it to our inventory of reefs, it’s good for the local community.”

According to a 2014 study by Bill Huth, a professor of supply chain logistics and economics at the University of West Florida, the artificial reef-related fishing and diving industries supported 1,936 jobs and had a $131.98 million economic impact in Bay County.

Dozier added that, besides being an eyesore, it was important to remove the vessel to protect the environment.

“We want to clean it up and put it to its best use,” Dozier said.

Authorities have detained a dozen men and woman they say may have been trying to enter the U.S. illegally from Mexico in a small boat.

Firefighters examined the people after the panga boat – a type of small fishing vessel commonly used by smugglers – showed up off Huntington Beach in late January.

Authorities told KABC-TV the men and women were cold but uninjured.

Nine Chinese men, a Chinese woman and two Mexican men were handed over to federal custody. One of the Mexican men is believed to be the smuggler.

Hans Dickmann’s boat repair shop can be seen here. Dickmann, a German immigrant, founded his shop in Newport Harbor’s Rhine Channel in 1933. According to an article by The Daily Pilot, his repair shop became well known. David Rose, a composer and Judy Garland’s first husband, was a client. Eventually, due to increasing property costs, the boatyard was retired.

LONG BEACH—The effects of a 100year storm surge could have the southeastern portion of Long Beach almost entirely under water. This was the takeaway from a modeled aerial image of the Alamitos Bay Marina area shared

by City Council member Suzie Price.

Whether the aerial image is a doomsday possibility, a realistic forecast or fodder for the climate change denier crowd remains to be seen. Price, however, urged the constituents of her district – which is Alamitos Bay, Belmont Shore and Naples – to start preparing for rising sea levels and participate in a survey on climate change action and adaptation. She hosted a community meeting within her district in late January and gave a presentation on Long Beach’s efforts to address climate change issues.

A Power Point presentation on Long Beach’s first-ever “Climate Action and Adaption Plan” was presented to those who attended Price’s community meeting. The Power Point presentation, which wasn’t scientific in nature and only offered broad talking points, was

created in June 2018. It broadly covered Long Beach’s goals on addressing climate change issues such as sea level rise, greenhouse gases, drought, poor air quality and extreme heat. A qualifier toward the end of the presentation stated the information presented was “preliminary” in nature and subject to change.

One PowerPoint slide, for example, outlines Long Beach’s mid-century and end-of-century climate projections.

Long Beach could faces as many as 12 extreme heat days, which is 95 degrees or higher, within the next 11 to 31 years, according to the climate change action plan presentation.

“Heat waves will occur more frequently, be more intense, and longer lasting,” city staff stated in its presentation.

The presentation also contemplated what would happen if Long Beach experienced 11 inches of future sea level rise.

“The Marine Patrol and Alamitos Bay Marina on Marina Drive are expected to be flooded during both King Tires and a 100-year storm tide,” city staff stated in its Climate Action and Adaption Plan presentation. “The Leeway Sailing and Aquatics Center on East Ocean Boulevard are expected to be flooded during both King Tides and 100-year storm tide.”

City staff added Marine Stadium, which is located adjacent to Alamitos

Bay Marina, would experience 20 percent flooding during King Tides and 100 percent flooding during a 100-year storm tide.

“Sea level rise, coastal flooding and precipitation based flooding may result in Alamitos Bay Marina (pictured here) and its surrounding neighborhoods could injury, death, be adversely affected by King Tides and sea level rise, according to a Long Beach displacement City Council member. The city hopes to take adaptive action in order to avoid the and mental predicted consequences of climate change. health burden,” city staff added. actions have you taken to protect you Price’s office, meanwhile, asked or your property from coastal flooding? local constituents to participate in a Possible answers to select were: remain survey about climate change.

Bonds process for harbor infrastructure projects could become easier

By Parimal M. Rohit

SACRAMENTO—We’re now in the second month of 2019 and the current legislative session continues to see State Senate and Assembly members introducing new proposals and resolutions on a wide variety of topics. One bill in the State Senate proposes to change the way bonds are issued for public infrastructure projects (including those at local ports or harbors). Another proposal in the Assembly seeks to prioritize climate change adaption projects and recreational opportunities. A veteran member of the State Senate, meanwhile, introduced a resolution to acknowledge the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara.

Will dockless scooters and bikes catch on in SoCal’s marinas?

There are pros and cons, supporters and enemies of rental scooters and bikes, but the question still remains if this form of transportation has or will reach local boating communities.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—By now, most folks residing in Southern California have seen the notorious e-scooters and bikes. Corporations like Lime and Bird Scooter have been dropping the rental scooters all over the nation with little to no warning. Anyone can then access the bikes and scooters through a mobile app on their phone, which in some ways, might be seen as a blessing or a curse.

Initially created to get locals to drive less, decreasing emissions from cars that cause pollution, some coastal cities and communities have not taken to e-rental bikes and scooters as kindly as others. Lime, as an example, encourages safety on the roadways and urges riders to take “The Respect The Ride Pledge.” Safety has been a paramount issue.

City staffs all over the country, including San Diego and Los Angeles, have worked with the corporations to create a plan for use. Some places have even wanted to amend legislation for additional revenue. For instance on the East Coast in Baltimore, Maryland, a historic coastal city, officials have proposed legislation for those riding a rental scooter too fast on some city sidewalks should face up to a month in jail or $1,000 fine. In an article by The Baltimore Sun, a spokesman for Baltimore Transportation Department said it was an intention to cite scooter riders for reckless riding.

Long Beach, like Baltimore, has seen the scooters as an opportunity to boost revenue and hopes to successfully regulate them. Further, city officials have noticed by not moving to set standards in place they have unintentionally lost a sum of money.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

Will rental bicycles, such as those offered by Lime, become a trend fixture at local marinas and harbors? Cities believe dockless bicycle rentals could help boost their revenues. Others, however, question whether dockless bicycles pose safety hazards.

During a conversation with a former colleague, she mentioned the annoyance of seeing the scooters/bikes strewn around Orange County and suggested the corporations releasing such mayhem on communities should find ways to fine patrons if they did things such as vandalize the bikes or threw them in the ocean (a problem San Diego Port authorities have seen in the past). The hands-off approach that Bird and Lime take does leave a bad taste in the mouth of some, such as city officials in Redondo Beach who also recently moved to ban the scooters.

Safety & Other Concerns Citylab, in a recent article, claimed two UCLA hospitals in Los Angeles and Santa Monica reported 249 emergency room visits between Sept. 1, 2017 and the end of August 2018. The majority of victims, 91.6 percent in fact, had fallen off the scooters, collided with an object or were struck by a vehicle. None of the injuries reported were fatal, but two

patients were sent to an intensive care unit. It is still unclear whether rental scooters or bikes are causing more accidents or deaths than usual.

While accidents or even deaths could happen in many ways, the sudden rise of the scooters and bicycles that police, harbor departments, and other city official were unprepared for could be problematic. Similar to statistics related to automobile or boating deaths, it could be assumed rider error is due to most mishaps on the road.

In their first year, Bird Scooter reported 10 million rides nationwide, which means that users are certainly accessing the scooters.

How are e-scooters affecting boaters anyways?

Last year, The Log’s resident boater Capt. Nicole Sours Larson wrote about dockless bikes and scooters in her column Dock Lines. She had relatively kind things to say about the new form of transportation and reported similar responses from marina managers.

While researching this article, it was surprising to find some local city officials were as curious about e-scooters as the average citizen considering renting one, especially in terms of use for boaters.

Though he stated he was not an authority on the subject and felt his jurisdiction ended where the land began, Commissioner Paul Blank of Newport Beach Harbor Commission, told The Log in an email that he felt dockless scooters could potentially have positive benefits in marina settings for visitors.

“It would seem a logical extension and an opportunity for visiting boaters to get around on land,” Blank said.

Oceanside Harbor manager Ted Schiafone said e-scooters have not been a problem in his region.

“At this time there are no Bird scooters or dockless bikes in our market, so it’s not an issue at Oceanside Harbor,” Schiafone said.

Mick Kronman, Harbor Resources Manager in Santa Barbara, also reported they had “no impact” after the city had moved to ban the scooters.

An unnamed colleague of Kronman stated, “Those scooters have not been a problem in SB Harbor. The City Attorney’s Office moved very quickly to ban them here.”

Another colleague said, “Haven’t seen one of them since the city banned them a few months ago while they worked out a plan.” Kronman added that he had “no idea what the ‘plan’ will ultimately be.”

In the past, San Diego Harbor Patrol has expressed some frustration with Lime bikes. During a coastal cleanup event that took place last year, some of the rental bikes and scooters were even pulled from waterways.

Other public representatives were contacted for commentary in San Diego and Los Angeles, but either declined to comment or did not respond in time for press. The Bird Scooter corporate office was also contacted and also did not respond by press time.

These modes of transportation do not seem to be going away anytime soon with many cities creating plans to incorporate them. While boaters could not ride these scooters or bikes on the docks, are they generally welcome or are they simply unnecessary? Will they find a way into marina- and harbor-use more frequently in coming months?

Or is this just another trend that will ultimately pass? Is this a serious issue or should people just lighten up and enjoy the fun?

If any boaters have opinions on dockless scooters and bikes, please leave a comment online or contact editor@thelog.com to share feedback.

Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp finally dedicated Port of San Diego christens updated boating venue, which finally opens after a prolonged construction period.

SAN DIEGO—The Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp is officially back in business, as the Port of San Diego officially dedicated the busy boating venue on Jan. 22, in front of local community members and local boaters. Garry Bonelli, the Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners chair, led the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The 10-lane boat launch ramp has been under construction for more than a year, as the port district executed a much-needed redevelopment of one of the nation’s busiest boating venues.

Nearly 50,000 boaters, annually, use the boat launch ramp at Shelter Island.

Upgrades to the boat launch ramp include an enlarged maneuvering area, longer boarding floats, new signage and lighting, and a public walking platform.

Port district officials began the boat launch ramp development project in November 2015, when the regional agency was awarded a $6.1 million grant by the Division of Boating and Waterways. The port district received another $3.5 million in grant funding by the California Wildlife Conservation Board, giving the redevelopment project a total budget of $9.6 million.

“The funding allowed the port to move forward with the project, which completely demolished the former Shelter Island Boat Launch Facility and replaced it with a larger, more modern and safer facility,” port district staff said in a released statement about the boat launch ramp dedication and ribbon-cutting.

Work on the boat launch ramp began during in mid-2017; port district staff planned to have the venue re-opened to the boating public by March 2018, just ahead of the start of last year’s boating season. Nine of the 10 launch ramp lanes were initially

Shelter Island’s Boat Launch Ramp is finally open and functioning. The Port of San Diego began work on an updated Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp in mid-2017.

Work was finally completed in late 2018, with an official grand opening in early 2019.

shut down; the tenth lane was finally offline by September 2017.

Logistical delays caused the project to continue for several more months. The boat launch ramp was finally re-opened on Dec. 21, 2018, with the grand re-opening taking place one month later.

The port district originally built the boat launch ramp in the 1950s; upgrades to the venue were made in 1976 and 2005. Port district staff stated the Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp is “believed to be the busiest boat launch in California, with approximately 50,000 launches per year.”

Bonelli positioned the updated boat launch ramp as safer and more efficient.

Ventura Harbor Commissioner Everard Ashworth shares his vision for the coastal city’s future

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

VENTURA COUNTY—Everard Ashworth, Commissioner and Chairman of the Ventura Harbor Commission, says there is one thing he and his adult children all have in common: They all live in a close proximity to the water. This conversation between The Log and Ashworth sparked the importance of not only the ocean’s resources, but how essential it is to coastal California’s economy and how boating can change one’s life. All of these links can be seen in Ventura Harbor’s rich, but lesser known community.

Ventura may be a perfect getaway spot for recreational boaters, but the harbor sometimes gets lost among other West Coast boating destinations perhaps due to the fact it is young – a manmade harbor that was built in 1960. On a somber note, Ventura has hit dilemmas in the past raising funding for such activities as dredging, which has been especially difficult in past years.

“The ability for our harbor to maintain our dredging program which is turns in part by our ability to be a working commercial fishing harbor.

We lack a Coast Guard, we lack a Navy, we lack the big boats that come in that really are the basis of funding for every other harbor on the coast of California and it’s only through our commercial fishing presence that we are able to compete for dredging dollars – and in 2012 we didn’t receive any,” says Ashworth.

This is partly due to Ventura’s commercial fishing industry, which boasts the largest squid fishing fleet in the nation.

“We have the largest squid fishing fleet in the nation and squid is peripatetic, it goes different places. When you have that kind of volatility, one of the challenges I faced when I came onto the commission is how do we diversify our fishing fleet? There are a lot of different options you can look at, but we settled on permitting aquaculture offshore in federal waters. The idea is that the port district will spend the two years and $2-3 million dollars putting the permits in place and then we would be able to provide commercial fishermen the ability to work the farms,” says Ashworth.

This would add up to $50 million dollars of receipts for the mussels at current pricing, Ashworth estimates.

Ventura is still trying to find itself, but Ashworth notes the aquaculture

industry could potentially drive local economy.

“One of the things I’m most passionate about is the shellfish program that we’re trying to advance.

I think it would also demonstrate to people that aquaculture is truly sustainable and deserves our attention in Southern California.” says Ashworth.

As the tenth largest fishing port in the nation, the squid fleet sells much of An avid boater, Ashworth finds introducing people to recreational boating a major joy.

Ashworth stresses the importance of Ventura’s commercial fishing industry, its burgeoning shellfish farming program and why recreational boating makes a difference.

his wife in San Francisco and after visiting where she had grown up in nearby Oxnard, he felt it would be a great place for them to start a family.

“It’s probably one of the nicest areas I’ve ever found for boating, so I thought one day we should probably live in Ventura,” says Ashworth.

Coincidentally, Ventura Yacht Club has focused on youth sailing programs and introducing young sailors to the waterways.

“Our yacht club is committed to providing a great education program for our kids through our summer camps and sailing programs. Our yacht club is invested in providing a solid training program for our kids. There are lots of challenges growing up and teaching someone how to manage a vessel gives you a lot of confidence to handle other issues as well,” said Ashworth.

These days, many yacht clubs have been trying to boost the younger generation’s participation in the sailing sport, but Ashworth shared one piece of information that some might not be aware of in terms of boating’s ability to shape one’s life.

“I also think if you look in Los Angeles for some programs for the kids at risk who are the most successful are the ones who are involved in sailing or boat building. In San Pedro, they’ve had great success for introducing kids at risk to learning about the value of the water. I was told by a police officer from Los Angeles [those programs] have the lowest recidivism rate for at-risk kids.”

Overall, Ashworth hopes to continue to see Ventura grow. With a dock replacement program in place being reworked to accommodate larger vessels and plans for a harbor revitalization project, there is much work ahead.

“There is a lot of potential with our harbor that we haven’t realized yet. I think we could do a better job of making that walk around the harbor more pleasurable and entertaining and educational. I think at the end of the day, we’d like to see a trip to Ventura Harbor being one of the most rewarding things you can spend your time doing. It’s a working waterfront.

It’s a vibrant commercial port,” says Ashworth.

“I hope these projects all provide those synergies, that people recognize that ‘hey, Ventura Harbor is truly a special spot.’”

Reappointed to the commission in July 2018, Ashworth will serve out his term until June 30, 2022.

Newport Beach to pursue low-risk, incremental approach to sea level rise adaptation Coastal Orange County city prefers to take a wait-and-see approach to rising tides.

NEWPORT BEACH—Sea level rise is happening and the city of Newport Beach must be prepared for the worst.

This is the possible mandate Newport Beach City Hall might be required to follow in addressing the prospect of rising ocean waters. What the mandate would look like depends upon what the California Coastal Commission is willing to accept.

Addressing sea level rise is established by the state. The Coastal Commission’s guidance document on the matter, meanwhile, recommends local governments assume medium- to high-risk assumptions when crafting adaptive policies on sea level rise.

City staff, nonetheless, recommended council members take a low-risk approach in its current sea level rise policy formulation, but revisit the issue incrementally as time goes on, depending on what new science or information is available in the future.

“There’s been a lot of controversy whether sea level rise is real or not.

Unfortunately, from a city staff perspective, we have to take what the state is giving us,” a city staff member told council members.

Council was tasked with enacting a policy direction on sea level rise. The seven-member council faced three questions to guide the policy decision: • Maintain low-risk/high emissions

Newport Beach is showing some restraint in its approach to sea level rise adaption, electing to use a wait-and-see approach. City Council members said they are comfortable with the idea of making changes later, if the predicted effects of climate change start to show real signs of becoming an imminent threat.

scenario assumptions • Amend the city’s Zoning Code “to allow accessory structures to increase in height” • Amend the city’s Zoning Code to allow for carports in certain areas.

Accessory structures include barbecue units, pools and the like.

The California Coastal Act requires all new development must minimize risks to life and property, particularly in areas where there is potential for flooding, for example.

The city’s current design considerations call for higher or reinforced bulkheads and maintenance of coastal access and views. Factoring sea level rise into design considerations would result in higher pad elevations, open foundations (such as the use of stilts) and higher height limits, according to Newport Beach city staff.

“There is a current balance between the assumption of flood risk and then

overbuilding for sea level rise. We need to very carefully consider California Coastal Commission’s of our approach,” a city staff member told council members during the study session.

City staff added while it recommended following a low-risk approach to sea level rise projections, the quasi-judicial agency’s guidance document suggests municipalities to pursue medium-high risk aversion models.

Newport Beach could lose its LCP certification should the city decide to take no action on sea level rise, according to city staff.

“I think the correct approach is, as staff shows here, is ‘incrementalism,’ just like we did with the sea wall in Balboa Island,” City Council member Brad Avery said. “Something’s happening, we don’t know what, there is sea level rise, but it really impacts a lot of people when we, all of a sudden ... jump something up.”

Avery said the city should definitely be prepared to make adjustment should the prospects of sea level rise worsen.

City Council member Marshall “Duffy” Duffield was in favor of city staff’s recommendation to incrementally address sea level rise but cautioned everyone against overreacting to potential doomsday predictions.

“What we’re talking about is scaring people,” Duffield said. “You can raise a house up but what are you going to do about all the cars that are driving around in 6 feet of water. We’re not addressing this completely.”

Duffield was not entirely convinced of whether sea level rise would inundate Newport Beach but also acknowledged the city had to take action to satisfy the state’s mandate.

“To predict 70 years from now where the tide is going to be, when … you can’t hardly tell me if it has risen in the last 50 years, this is a little preposterous for me to get my arms around,” Duffield said. “At the same time we have to be prepared for these things, I understand that.”

The former Newport Beach mayor added he didn’t want people to panic, adding his many years of being on the water has not indicated to him the ocean is rising at a rapid pace, not at least to the point where the Central Orange County coast would be immediately threatened.

Council members ultimately directed city staff to look into a low-risk sea level rise adaptation policy, with the prospect of making incremental changes on an as-needed basis.

San Diego’s Dinghy Doctor is under new ownership and management SAN DIEGO—The Dingy Doctor in San Diego is under new ownership and management, it was recently announced.

A new group now owns and operates the inflatable boat and outboard company, which was sold when the previous ownership group decided to pursue other endeavors after 18 years with Dinghy Doctor.

Barrett Canfield and Rick Day of South Coast Yachts are the new owners of Dinghy Doctor. They heard about the previous ownership group moving on and decided to step up to prevent the San Diego boating community from losing what they considered to be an important vendor.

Canfield and Day were able to assemble a proposal and deal to acquire Dinghy Doctor. Once the transaction was complete they brought in Charlie Winter as general manager.

“When Barrett and I went to visit [previous Dingy Dock owners] Jo and Brian to check out their liquidation sale in December [2018], we just couldn’t envi-

sion the place closing,” Day said. “It’s just too much a part of the San Diego boating community. We were so pleased they worked with us to keep the doors open, keep the existing staff in their jobs, and to breathe some new life into the place.

We’re very excited about what the future will bring.”

Dinghy Doctor, which is close to where the 8 and 5 freeways meet, will continue to carry well-known boat

brands, such as AB, Achilles, Caribe, Honda, Taurus, Tohatsu and Yamaha.

Canfield added the existing team at Dinghy Doctor reminded him of those he worked with at South Coast Yachts.

“The Dinghy Doctor has always been the first company people think of in San Diego when considering inflatable boats or small outboard purchases and service,” Canfield said. “The existing team is very talented and has the same core values

that we encourage at South Coast Yachts.

Care for the customer is the first priority.

We are very excited to empower these people and this company to serve the San Diego boating community!”

The Port of San Diego is seeking proposals for a low cost hotel project near the waterfront. A formal Request for Proposals was issued on Jan. 22.

San Diego port district seeks proposals for low cost hotel project Successful bidder would have to meet Coastal Commission’s mandate in building overnight accommodation project close to the waterfront.

By Parimal M. Rohit SAN DIEGO—A stretch of land adjacent to the current Port of San Diego headquarters could soon be transformed into lower cost overnight accommodation project, according to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the port district.

The port district issued the RFP on Jan. 22 and formally announced it would be accepting proposals to re-develop the 3-acre site on Pacific Highway into a hostel, economy hotel/ motel or other budget-friendly overnight accommodation.

Bringing a low cost overnight accommodation is part of a policy

advanced by the California Coastal Commission to ensure people of all economic classes would not be denied coastal access because of high cost hotels.

The 3-acre site where the potential low cost overnight accommodation would be built is close to San Diego International Airport and the downtown waterfront. Other attractions in the area include Maritime Museum of San Diego, USS Midway, Harbor Island and Shelter Island.

“As part of efforts to ensure that all Californians and visitors from a variety of backgrounds and incomes are able to enjoy the area’s full range of coastal experiences, the Port of San Diego has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) from well-qualified firms to develop and/or operate lower cost overnight accommodations,” port district staff said in a released statement. “This could include, but is not limited to, a: See POSD WATERFRONT page 21

As the nation braces for Pres. Trump’s announcement about the temporary opening on the government after the longest shutdown in history, the U.S. Coast Guard are back in business. However, during the shutdown, Coast Guard crew went unpaid and commercial boaters, as well as some recreational boaters, felt the effects.

The government shutdown’s aftermath for boaters, Coast Guard A temporary bill signed by Pres. Trump reopened the government on Jan. 25, but another may loom after bill expires on Feb. 15.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein STATEWIDE—Bernadine Trusso, vice president and owner of Dona Jenkins Maritime Document Service Inc. based in San Diego, was at the Sunroad Marina Boat Show when she learned the government had reopened.

“On Monday I came in early and sure enough 10 [commercial] abstracts [of title] were there waiting,” she said.

The government shutdown, which began on Dec. 17 and ended Jan. 25, was the longest in history and affected many government employees including the U.S. Coast Guard. Several sources have advocated that the shutdown will affect the American economy’s first quarter of growth, which may or may not have contributed to Pres.

Donald J. Trump’s decision to reopen the government – at least temporarily.

There is a possibility the American people will see yet another government shutdown on Feb. 15, according to the bill signed by Trump, as the shutdown lift is only temporary until congressional parties can agree on a resolution.

During the shutdown, The Log received several emails and phone calls from volunteers aiming to get donations for members of the Coast Guard who were not being paid. One such example came in support of USCGC Halibut based out of Marina del Rey. A flyer read: “Our local Coast Guard Crew of USCGC Halibut is currently serving without pay during the government shutdown. Many of these crew members are also separated from families and incurring extra travel expenses while the Halibut is undergoing repairs in San Diego. They will eventually be paid, but until then, here is how you

can help …”

Donations requested were gift cards for gas and grocery stores as well a request to send bottled water, toothpaste, shampoo, razors, diapers and other toiletries and everyday items that crewmembers needed.

As a trickledown effect of the Coast Guard being down during the shutdown, commercial boat owners in particular were hurt. From mom and pop charter owners to large tow vessels, Trusso explained her clients were unable to receive abstract of title from the Coast Guard, which ultimately meant commercial vessels in need of this documentation were not legally allowed to operate on the waters.

“From the commercial aspect, it’s real tough on these clients,” said Trusso.

Commercial vessel owners suffered, but recreational boaters and others could not get through to the Coast Guard during this time, just the same.

While a skeleton crew was on call for emergencies, no one was manning the phones. The Webmaster contact email, which is usually quite responsive, was not responding during the shutdown.

To make matters worse, Trusso also said the Coast Guard Authorization Act had been approved earlier on Dec. 4 to include new documentation renewal proceedings for recreational boaters. There was quite a bit of confusion for boat owners because shortly afterwards the government shutdown, making it impossible to contact the Coast Guard for further clarification.

This article will go to print a week and two days before the temporary end to the government shutdown. Any information provided after those dates will be updated online or in a future issue of The Log. Did any boaters, recreational or commercial, experience a dilemma during the shutdown? If so, share your story in a comment online or a letter to the editor (editor@thelog.com).

Why we need the Coast Guard and other federal agencies Story and photo by Capt. Nicole Sours Larson

licenses personnel. The Coast Guard also inspects large commercial ships and smaller cruise and charter vessels, ensuring they meet federally designated safety standards.

It’s the Coast Guard that handles environmental reporting and pollution cleanup whenever there’s an oil or fuel spill, whether a small spill from a recreational vessel or a massive spill from a commercial ship, keeping our waterways clean for animal habitation and human use. The Coast Guard also enforces the domestic fisheries laws.

And those drab, low profile go-fast boats you see speeding through the bays and along the coast? They’re part of the Coast Guard’s critical ports, waterways and coastal security team, protecting our ports from bad guys and worse acts.

When maritime accidents occur, it’s the Coast Guard’s investigative officers who delve deeply to determine what happened and issue reports assigning responsibility. Often they’ll make recommendations to prevent similar incidents.

Thinking of the committed Coast Guard and other critical government staff working unpaid during the shutdown I grew outraged when I read a “senior Trump administration official’s”

SAN DIEGO—The partial federal government shutdown is over – for now – with resumption possible if no agreement emerges acceptable to a border wall-fixated novice president with little grasp of or interest in the legislative and appropriations process. Unfortunately other looming funding battles could produce further moronic closures.

During the shutdown I frequently noted a Coast Guard vessel tied to a mooring buoy in San Diego Bay. I found myself getting angrier each time I saw it, thinking what that vessel represented: the Coast Guard’s inability to carry out its full mission, whether through lack of budget authority, personnel or funding for fuel.

Coast Guard vessels and aircraft idled in port, venturing out only on critical missions, conducting high-priority search and rescue and port security operations, but no routine or oversight activities. But those deemed “essential personnel” had to work without pay for 35 days, not knowing when they’d be paid, forcing uniformed and civilian personnel to rely on food banks and the community’s generosity to feed their families.

How many highly skilled and trained Coast Guard personnel, along with other federal workers and contractors, will opt to leave government service because of new employment instability and their use as political pawns?

While we hear most often of high-profile S&R The Coast Guard is a valuable asset to any boating community, overand drug interdiction seeing maritime radio communications, marking channels, etc operations the Coast Guard conducts, recreational boaters benefit from the Coast Guard’s presence in so screed in The Daily Caller.

New fees in store for Newport Beach’s transient boaters Rent schedule would apply to moorings, Marina Park and Balboa Yacht Basin.

NEWPORT BEACH—Boaters seeking to rent moorings or certain slips in Newport Beach could be spending a little more money to do so, thanks to City Council members approving a rate increase on Jan. 22. Those same boaters, however, could be spared an application fee, which was proposed as part of the rent changes at Marina Park Marina and Newport Beach’s Harbor Department.

Changes to rental rates were based on a real estate appraisal report submitted to the city by Netzer & Associates. The appraisal determined fair market rents for Marina Park, guest and transient slips throughout the harbor and select rates at Balboa Yacht Basin.

Renting a 55-foot slip would cost a boater $110 per night, compared to the previous nightly rate of $82.50. A 40-foot slip would increase from $60 per night to $80 per night.

An overhang penalty charge would ding boaters at $2 per linear foot per night, a 50-cent increase over the previous rate.

Dingy rack rental at Marina Park or Balboa Yacht Basin is now $35/month, up $10 from the previous $25/night

rate.

The appraiser believed the proposed rates for Marina Park would incentivize boaters to use slips at Marina Park (as opposed to the harbor’s anchorage).

At least two City Council members pushed back on Newport Beach staff’s proposal to assess boaters with a one-time $17 application fee. City staff stated the application fee, which would only be assessed whenever a new boater is entered into the system, would help recuperate costs.

“I do quite a bit of traveling on my boat. I’ve never paid a sign-up fee.

Avalon doesn’t do that, Santa Barbara, they don’t do that,” Council member Brad Avery said. “I’m just thinking in terms of the customer.”

Council members ultimately approved the proposal to increase rents but without the application fee – so boaters won’t have to make a one-time $17 payment when first applying for a mooring or slip.

The city has long been angling to be a destination for transient boaters, particularly with the availability of slips at Marina Park, permanent addition of a second anchorage and update of Central Avenue Pier.

Newport Beach assumed management responsibility of harbor operations on July 1, 2018 from Orange County Sheriff and maintained the county’s fee schedule until last month’s City Council meeting.

New features such as online reservations and a burger barge are coming soon.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein LONG BEACH—What if you were told you could have the same atmospheric boating experience as visiting Catalina without having to sail too far from SoCal’s shores? Belmont Mooring Co. has created a mooring field near Island White off Long Beach, which The Log reported on back in 2015.

When the story first broke the mooring fields were more of an experiment. However, owner of Belmont Mooring Co., Micheal O’ Toole, reported the moorings have become quite the success.

“We’re getting more and more locals,” says O’Toole, who described how he’s seeing boaters come out to stay each weekend.

“It used to be that you’d have boaters saying their goal is to get out to Catalina five times this summer.

People are using their boats a lot more because it’s [reserving a spot with Belmont Mooring Co.] so simple,” continues O’Toole.

on land, it can be difficult at times to get onto the sea – which is why local boaters love Belmont Moorings.

“We’re creating a new little world out there,” says O’Toole, who adds the moorings are becoming similar to “a Catalina atmosphere” where boaters can BBQ, hang out on their boats and have fun.

In recent articles, The Log also covered the dangers of Catalina storms. Because these mooring fields are much closer to the Southern California coast, O’Toole is finding many boaters are planning “staycations” on their boats closer to home during the winter season.

Catalina Connection

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

CATALINA ISLAND—Crescent Street, known as Front Street by locals, might be seeing a few new street vendors in the future due to bill passed by Gov. Jerry Brown on Sept. 17, 2018.

The bill, known as SB 946, decriminalizes street vending on sidewalks.

Members of Avalon’s City Council were less than thrilled about this since city staff, in the past, took measures to avoid overcrowding by street vending.

Brown’s mandate decrees California cities can no longer ban vending in parks, cities cannot determine where vendors operate (unless there is a health, safety or welfare concern) and vendors are no longer required to ask local business owners for permission to sell competing goods.

Dan Huncke, Community Services Director, said at the Jan. 15 Avalon City Council: “[This is] a little bit of the wild, wild west here.”

In June 2018, council members had rejected a proposal by Jerry Dunn, who filed a permit to sell Scoop’s Frozen

hostel, budget/economy hotel/motel, micro concept accommodations (e.g., capsule/pod), or other budget-friendly overnight accommodations.”

The Coastal Commission and Port of San Diego were previously at odds on the topic of low cost overnight accommodations on the San Diego waterfront. Plans to redevelop a portion of Harbor Island with hotels came under scrutiny when the quasi-judicial state agency squashed the port districts port master plan amendment request in May 2017 because it did not sufficiently meet the Coastal Commission’s requirements for low cost overnight accommodations.

“Commissioners specifically stated the port district must do a better job of making Harbor Island, if redeveloped according to its vision, more accessible to lower-income Californians,” The Log wrote in its May 19, 2017 issue about the Coastal Commission-Port of San Diego war of words, which included a lawsuit between the two agencies.

The Coastal Commission’s mandate of ensuring public coastal access through low cost overnight accommodations would certainly factor in to the port district’s current RFP. Time will tell whether the Coastal Commission comes on board with whatever plans the successful bidder of this RFP will propose.

The Downtown San Diego, Harbor Island, Shelter Island and Point Loma

Lemonade from a cart near Green Pleasure Pier. In a report to council members, one of the reasons for the rejection was due to public outcry that the vendor would be competing with local ice cream shops near the water that pay high rent costs.

Council member Pam Albers mentioned the city of Los Angeles might be taking measures against the bill and recommended that Avalon should consider looking into options for “no vending zones” on Front Street.

Council members reluctantly approved a resolution for sidewalk vendors in Avalon for the purposes of having some guide- The new bill, also known as SB 946, has decriminalized street vendors operating on sidewalks provided they follow legal guidelines. Avalon, which has a history of denying street vendor applications, will follow up with their own city lines in place, but scheduled fur- ordinances and possibly allow for such businesses to exist, just as in other countries. ther discussion in the future for a more comprehensive program regarding street vendors. license, encroachment permit, show vendor sales will vastly impact local Vendors wishing to operate on proof of liability insurance and proof of businesses in Avalon or whether it Catalina would need to submit name compliance with Los Angeles County will be an opportunity to expand and contact, business place, a seller’s Health and Safety Department. revenue.

A stretch of Harbor Drive between Fifth Avenue Landing and Maritime Museum of San Diego is home Hilton San Diego Bayfront, Omni, Hard Rock Hotel, Marriott Grand Marquis, Manchester Grand Hyatt, Embassy Suites by Hilton and Wyndham San Diego Bayside.

Harbor Island, meanwhile, has a Sheraton property. Point Loma and Shelter Island offer several overnight accommodations, as well, such as a Best Western, Courtyard by Marriott, Homewood Suites by Marriott and Holiday Inn. All the hotels listed are relatively close to San Diego’s downtown area marinas.

Whether these hotels would be used as to gauge the relative low cost of the to-be-proposed overnight accommodation project on Pacific Highway remains to be seen – though such a market comparison would appear to be a necessity.

An information exchange meeting for interested parties will be held at 1 p.m. on Feb. 4. Questions are due by 1 p.m. on Feb. 7; all proposals must be submitted by 1 p.m. on March 7. Interviews will be held April 2-4, with formal presentations to the port district’s Board of Port Commissioners set for May 14. A decision on which bidder would be allowed to build the overnight accommodation project would likely be made shortly after the presentation.

The 2019 Congressional Cup begins to take shape, as the first batch of skippers for this year’s regatta in Long Beach has been announced. Two of the announced skippers previously donned the Congressional Cup’s Crimson Blazer.

Skippers named for 2019 Congressional Cup Annual world-class match racing event returns to Long Beach in April.

By Parimal M. Rohit LONG BEACH, California—Six skippers from five countries will compete against each other in the upcoming Long Beach Yacht Club Congressional Cup regatta, which returns to Southern California during the first week of April. Ian Williams (Great Britain) and Johnie Berntsson (Sweden) will face off against newcomers Will Boulden

(Australia), Nick Egnot-Johnson (New Zealand) and Niklas Dackhammer (Sweden), April 3-7.

Also competing in this year’s Congressional Cup is Scott Dickson (U.S.A.), a 13-time Ficker Cup winner.

More skippers can still be named to the regatta, which will enter its 55th running this year.

The winner of the Congressional Cup earns the right to wear the Crimson Blazer – similar to the green jacket prize at the Masters Tournament.

Wilson (2017) and Berntsson (2009) are both former Congressional Cup

champions; Wilson is the world’s topranked sailor.

The complete roster of Congressional Cup skippers will be finalized in the next few weeks, with two to be named and two more to qualify via this year’s Ficker Cup (March 29-31).

Long Beach Yacht Club founded the Congressional Cup in 1965; the regatta features teams competing in Catalina 37 keelboats. Spectators take in the action at Long Beach’s Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier; matches are held near the pier between 11:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., daily.

Those who qualified for the 2019 U.S. Sailing Team does not mean they formally made the roster.

Other qualifiers for the 2019 U.S. Sailing Team include: • Atlantic Brugman (Palo Alto) • Nora Brugman (Palo Alto)

• David Liebenberg (Livermore, California) • Paige Railey (Clearwater, Florida) • Erika Reineke (Ft. Lauderdale) • Luke Muller (Ft.

Individual sailors from 49er, RS:X Men’s or RS:X Women’s have not yet earned a selection to the 2019 U.S. Sailing Team, though these classes could be filled later this year, according to a statement issued by U.S. Sailing.

Muller and Railey earned bronze and silver medals, respectively, at the 2019 World Cup Series Miami event, Feb. 3.

SAN DIEGO (LOG News Service)— SailGP, the new sailing league founded by tech billionaire Larry Ellison and five-time America’s Cup winner Russell Coutts, will leap from concept to reality in February when six souped-up catamarans hit the starting line off Shark Island in Australia’s Sydney Harbor.

SailGP will be a true global league, featuring many of the world’s most accomplished sailors racing aboard the planet’s fastest sailboats, 50-foot, wingsailed catamarans called F50s that fly across the top of waves on hydrofoils.

Teams representing six countries – Australia, China, Great Britain, France, Japan and the United States – will compete at five tour stops, with the finale being a winner-take-all, $1 million match race between the top two teams to crown the 2019 champion.

After the initial regatta Feb. 15-16 in Sydney, the tour stops in San Francisco on May 4-5; New York on June 21-22; Cowes, England, on Aug. 10-11 and Marseille, France, on Sept. 20-22 for the finale that will include the winnertake-all race.

Ellison, the co-founder of Oracle Corp. and one of the world’s richest men with a fortune estimated at around $60 billion, will initially cover the league’s costs. If his vision plays out, SailGP will move to a franchise ownership model.

Unlike in the America’s Cup, all the boats are identical. Crews won’t be allowed to make changes without approval of the measurement team.

There have been changes to the daggerboards and rudders of the F50s since Bermuda that will increase the boats’ performance. In a substantial change, batteries will be used to raise and lower the daggerboards, and

grinders will be used only to trim the wingsheet.

In Bermuda, sailors complained that F50s were the most painful boat to sail with two people sailing and four people grinding.

“They were massively energy-hungry just to get boards up and down and keep pressure up on cylinders to control for flight. You had four people grinding as hard as they can the whole time the boat was moving,” said Australian Nathan Outteridge, who will skipper Japan SailGP Team. “That was not sustainable unless you were driving or trimming the wing, you were not a sailor, just a grinder. This brings more sailing to the boat.”

Proposition 65 warnings would not be included on some products; certain legal claims also resolved.

By Parimal M. Rohit

STATEWIDE—Lawyers affiliated with the American Sportfishing Association, or ASA, reported they negotiated a settlement on potential Proposition 65 claims. The settlement would cover claims filed based on California sales of soft plastic baits, particularly those containing chemicals listed by Prop. 65.

Anyone who is eligible to be a part of the settlement must take action by April 17, which is the hard opt-in date.

“The purpose of the settlement is two-fold: it would extinguish claims made against products covered by the settlement; and, it would eliminate the need for a Proposition 65 warning for certain covered products,” ASA staff said in a released statement.

The Prop. 65 settlement covers four chemicals used in soft plastic lures: DINP, DIDP, DEHP and BBP. The settle-

ment does not cover any other products or chemicals.

Those who want to opt-in to the settlement agreement must agree to receive a Prop. 65 notice (which would allow you to be named in the lawsuit).

Being covered within the settlement also means you must have made “a payment based on California sales of soft plastic baits,” according to ASA staff.

Private enforcers can sue businesses under Prop. 65; the sued business must have sold a fishing lure with exposure to one of the four listed chemicals (DINP, DIDP, DEHP and BBP).

The settlement stems from a judgment on the Kingpun Cheng vs. Zoom Bait Co. lawsuit; the judgment was issued on Sept. 11, 2018.

A press release issued the law firm of Steptoe and Johnson explained the court’s settlement.

“Parties to the consent judgment can avoid providing unnecessary warnings under Proposition 65 in two ways,” the Steptoe & Johnson release stated.

“A company may avoid warning if it can substantiate that the PVC substrate does not contain more than 50 percent

to each of four phthalates, DINP, DIDP, DEHP, or BBP. If the level of a phthalate exceeds 50 percent, the defendant may still avoid warnings but will be required to use a more expensive alternate testing method … to demonA legal settlement has apparently been reached on potential Proposition 65 claims and soft plastic baits, according to the American Sportfishing Association. strate that the amount of phthalate migrating out of the lure during the test does not judgment,” the released statement exceed [certain levels]. continued.

California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife adopted new policies in late 2018.

By Parimal M. Rohit

STATEWIDE—A new set of recreational groundfish regulations officially went into effect for 2019; the changes mean California’s book for 2018-19 ocean regulations, particularly as it relates to groundfish regulations, is now out of date.

California’s Fish and Game Commission adopted the updated regulations at its mid-December meeting.

The following changes were made to the state’s recreational groundfish regulations: • Daily bag and possession limit for lingcod has been decreased

•

Changes to recreational groundfish regulations are officially in effect ipated. The improved status of these species allowed fishery managers to recommend management measures that provide some additional fishing opportunity.

“Similarly, in the spring of 2018, the canary rockfish sub-bag limit increased to two fish statewide, as the catch of this recently rebuilt stock was well under the recently increased harvest limit,” the DFW statement continued.

Anglers are still prohibited from taking or possessing bronzespotted rockfish, cowcod and yelloweye rockfish.

Call the Recreational Groundfish Hotline at 831-649-2801 for more information on the new 2019 recreational groundfish regulations and to keep up to date with in-season changes. Current regulations are also posted on the DFW website, which is at wildlife.ca.gov.

Mega Fresh Catch at Lake Wohlford ESCONDIDO—Angler Jakob Lotze sat atop the Lake Wohlford leader board for January, with his 13.3-pound trout catch. Lotze reeled in the monster trout on salmon powerboat and a 3-foot mini-rod toward the east end of the lake. The catch is heaver than the trout Javier Ramirez caught in December (10.8 pounds, top trout in the whopper contest for that month).

“The east end of the lake and Boat Dock Cove [has] both been doing extremely well. Mouse-tails dipped in garlic have been the hot bait while top water has been slower probably due to the muddied water,” Lake Wohlford staff stated in a fish report last month.

Other whopper contest leaders for January were Blue Gathings (10.9-pound catfish), Paul Eddo (6.5-pound bass) and Samuel Rodriguez (2.2-pound crappie).

Lake Wohlford is a freshwater lake located in the northern San Diego County city of Escondido.

Man convicted for killing great white shark

By Parimal M. Rohit

SANTA CRUZ—California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife earned a legal victory in late January, when a San Jose man was convicted of shooting and killing a great white shark.

Vinh Pham, 41, was fined $5,000, placed on a two-year conditional probation and was ordered to have his firearm destroyed, all based on being convicted for unlawfully killing a great white shark in Santa Cruz County last year.

Pham was a member of a commercial fishing boat crew. DFW wildlife officers were given a tip that Pham was responsible for shooting at a great white shark with a .22 caliber firearm. The carcass of the 9-foot shark had beached onto the shore of Beer Can Beach on June

17, 2018, immediately sparking a DFW investigation. The subsequent autopsy – specifically called a necropsy – revealed the shark died due to being shot multiple times by a .22 caliber firearm.

Wildlife officers followed up with the tip it received and investigated the boat where Pham worked as a commercial fisherman. The investigation revealed several fishing violations (such as the possession of undersized halibut and no landing receipts) and a .22 caliber rifle. Bullets found in the shark matched with the rifle, according to DFW’s investigation.

Pham later confessed to the shooting and, on Jan. 14, pleaded guilty to multiple charges; he faced his charges at Santa Cruz Superior Court. The conviction was announced to the press on Jan. 24.

(Clockwise from bottom left) Fred Erdman is Dana Wharf Sportfishing’s January winner (of the currently ongoing Halibut Derby). His top halibut catch of the month yielded him a $100 Dana Wharf gift card, Daiwa rod/reel combo package worth $550, prizes from Hogan’s Bait & Tackle, Fishworks and $100 Waterman’s harbor gift card.

San Diego Report

SoCal anglers are dodging weather systems to go fishing

By Bob Vanian SAN DIEGO—Recent weeks have seen numerous weather systems pass through Southern California, which have resulted in gale warnings and small craft advisories being posted because of high seas, strong winds and rain. There were a few good weather days between systems but skippers and anglers had to watch the forecasts closely to be able to choose the best time to go fishing. It is a constant reminder anglers and skippers should always check the latest marine weather forecast before going boating or fishing.

It has been over a week since any boats have been offshore looking for bluefin tuna and kelp paddie yellowtail. The last boats out found a bit of bluefin tuna activity out on the Ridge between the 181 Spot and the 182 Spot while fishing 28 to 35 miles from Point Loma but the bluefin fishing was slow. With the slow fishing and the recent poor weather there has not been anyone that I know of that has been looking around for bluefin in recent days.

My guess is that the recent poor weather conditions, which have included high seas and strong winds, have caused a change in the water conditions. The change in the water conditions may have caused whatever bluefin still wintering in local offshore waters to make a move.

At last report there were a few kelp paddie yellowtail scattered around offshore in an area ranging from the Catalina Channel to the 9 Mile Bank, but overall the kelp paddie yellowtail fishing in that area had turned scratchy. The one good report about kelp paddie yellowtail fishing was from 10 days ago near Upper Hidden Bank, which is located below and outside of Los Coronado Islands, about 38 miles from Point Loma. No boats I know of have fished there since.

Last reports from Los Coronado Islands: There was very good mixed bag fishing for reds, rockfish, bonito and a few yellowtaila.

No one I know of has been fishing Los Coronados for the past week due to the bad weather. Malihini out of H&M Landing fished a full-day trip around Los Coronado Islands on Jan. 27 They found very good mixed bag fishing for reds, an assortment of rockfish, large bonito and a few yellowtails and had 14 anglers on a full-day trip return with 70 rockfish (limits of rockfish), 35 reds, three yellowtail and 42 bonito.

Captain-Bill Wilkerson of Malihini reported the bonito caught were jumbo-sized fish, running from 8 to 12 pounds.

Good areas for rockfish 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. The best area for a chance at finding some surface fishing action has been along the weather side of North Island.

Anglers fishing on the United States side of the Mexico border need to keep in

mind that the annual 2 month rockfish/ groundfish closure went into effect on Jan. 1. The end of the closure is on March 1, but until that time, anglers seeking to fish for rockfish/groundfish species covered by the closure need to go to Mexican waters to fish for those species.

Boats fishing coastal trips have been able to get in some fishing in decent weather between 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 is occasional yellowtail activity reported but the species has not been biting very well when they do decide to show. The areas where sporadic yellowtail activity has been reported have been at the upper end of La Jolla, the lower end of La Jolla and the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma. There has also been a very occasional white sea bass caught incidental to fishing for bass and sculpin.

Hard bottom and structure areas have been best for the bass and sculpin with productive areas being the Imperial Beach Pipeline, the hard bottom to the north and northwest of Buoy #3 at Point Loma, the Green Tank, the Variety Kelp area below the MLPA closure area at the lower end of La Jolla, the upper end of La Jolla, Del Mar, the Anderson and Buccaneer Pipelines, the artificial reefs outside of Oceanside and Box Canyon.

The weather systems continue to keep anglers off the water on certain days but if you watch the weather forecast and choose the good weather days, there is some fun fishing to be had during the winter months. I hope you can get out there on a nice weather day and enjoy the fun fishing that the winter months can offer. Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!
