Duluth Public Schools ISD 709 Facebook

Toy boat launched on Lake Superior washes ashore after 25 years

By LINDSEY GLASGOW BAYFIELD, WISCONSIN —A toy boat launched at

Lake Superior as part of an elementary school class project has washed ashore more than 25 years after setting sail.

According to an Oct. 11 Facebook post from Duluth Public Schools in Duluth, Minnesota, Lynn BeBeau recently discovered the little wooden boat on a remote beach on Lake Superior along the Apostle Island National Lakeshore near Eagle Island in northern Wisconsin. An inscription on the bottom of the boat read: “I am traveling to the ocean. Please put me back in the water.”

It also asked for anyone who finds the boat to send information about the boat’s whereabouts to Lakewood Elementary School, which is part of Duluth Public Schools.

In the Facebook post from Duluth Public Schools, the school system asked followers for help figuring out where the mysterious little wooden ship came from.

Bonnie Fritch replied saying she and a fellow teacher launched the boat during the 1993-1994 school year as part of a unit on “Paddle-to-theSea”, a children’s book in which a small wooden boat is launched on Lake Superior.

“We mapped out the travels of the canoe through the Great Lakes,” Fritch said on Facebook. “A friend of Brenda’s made the boats for us and our classes painted them and added the message to the bottom. On our end of the year field trip for our Duluth unit we stopped at Brighton Beach to launch the boats.”

She went on to say she wasn’t sure what happened to Brenda’s boat but hers was spotted a year later up the North Shore.

“The people put a second coat of varnish on the boat and relaunched it,” Fritch’s post said. “I thought we wouldn’t hear anymore about it. Amazing it is still out there.”

Bonnie Fritch and Brenda Schell launch small boats into Lake Superior in the early 1990’s. One of the boats survived 25 years on the lake and was discovered on the lake’s shore this year.

Letters/Online Comments RE: “Covid-19 and

the parameters of recreational boating”

(OCT. 2-15)

Congratulations to San Diego Association of Yacht Clubs (SDAYC) Boating Freedom Committee, working together with RBOC to get the San Diego County Supervisors to say yes to boating with crews to be allowed again. It was a big effort and hopefully the Governor will allow all boating in every county with crews soon.

— Wayne Strickland, SDAYC Senior Director After a year of no’s, finally a yes! Because of the new orders issued last Friday (9/25/2020) by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors allowing non-members of the same household on recreational boats – we can all go boating together!

(Adhering to Safe Boating Protocols, of course). It “ain’t like it used to be” but it’s great to be

sailing and racing again!

RE: “Ventura County

begins ‘visioning process’ for Channel Islands Harbor redevelopment” (OCT. 2-15)

It would be so nice to keep the wharf flavor instead of another want to be Mediterranean style. Also would be wonderful to expand the park for events, concerts, etc.

— Sandy Mcfarland Ventura County does not own Channel Islands Harbor.

They only mismanage it.

It is Held in Public Trust. Again, contract given to friends and family, no real visioning plan just “helping friends” take advantage of Oxnard. Who is on this “Steering Committee”?

FAST FACTS

California Fish and Game Commission celebrated its 150th birthday in April

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT S A C R A M E N T O —Lost amidst the C oronav ir us pa ndemic was a landmark “birthday” for the California Fish and Game Commission, which happens to be one of the state’s oldest agencies.

The Fish and Game Commission turned 150 on April 6. The commission was born in April

1850 as the California Board of Fish Commissioners. California, interestingly enough, became a state on Sept. 9, 1850 – more than five months after the commission was created.

State historians said California already had several fish and game laws in place, courtesy of the Mexican and Spanish regimes in place in the years leading up to California’s transfer to the United States.

STANDING

The first fish and game law with California being a state was enacted in 1851 and regulated oysters. Laws about salmon, waterfowl and other wildlife were adopted in 1852.

The latter years of the 1800s saw the establishment of deputies (1871) and the Bureau of Patrol and Law Enforcement (1883).

A separate Fish and Game Code was established in 1993; fish and game laws were governed by the Penal Code up to this point in history.

When did the agency finally change its name and become the California Fish and Game Commission? That happened in 1909. The commission’s membership was expanded from three to five in 1937.

Sportfishing and hunting regulation became part of the commission’s core responsibilities in 1945.

PORTION OF LOS CERRITOS WETLANDS COULD BE REMEDIATED

California Coastal Commission will consider a request to restore a section of oil field to tidal wetlands.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT LONG BEACH —The California Coastal Commission, on Nov. 6, will be considering a permit application to replace a stretch of shallow contaminated sediment at Los Cerritos Wetlands with clean sediment. Los Cerritos Wetlands, LLC, filed the remediation request with the Coastal Commission.

About 0.47 acres of the Synergy Oil Field at Los Cerritos

Wetlands – which is relatively close to Alamitos Bay Marina and Naples Island in Long Beach – has, according to Coastal Commission staff, been used “as a disposal site for oil field-related wastes.”

The oil field, Coastal Commission staff added, is within a “highly disturbed area” of Los Cerritos Wetlands.

“The proposed remediation is a necessary first step in a larger effort, approved by the Commission in December 2018 … to restore this portion of the Syner-

gy site to tidal wetlands as part of a mitigation bank,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners. “Due to factors including the complexity of prior to permit issuance requirements, the [permit] has not yet been issued.

“The mitigation bank is still under review by an Interagency Review Team (IRT) consisting of staff from the [Coastal] Commission, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Environmental Please see WATCH, PAGE 5

“Furthermore, the proposed project, as conditioned, is an allowable use of wetland dredge and fill as a restoration activity,”

Coastal Commission staff continued in its report to commissioners. “The proposed remediation is the least environmentally damaging alternative because the applicant is proposing the minimum disturbance footprint necessary to ensure that contaminated sediment is completely removed from the restoration site and has designed stag ing a nd ing ress/eg ress routes to avoid sensitive species and minimize impacts to wetlands areas within the oil field.”

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

D.C. lawmakers introduce ‘Oceans Solutions Bill’ Reps. Raul M. Grijalva and Kathy Castor hope legislation will address the effects of climate change and reform federal ocean management.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT WASHINGTON, D.C.—A group of legislators in the House of Representatives have sponsored a bill aiming to address the effects of climate change on the ocean. The proposal also aims to reform federal ocean management “to better account for climate mitigation,” according to a statement released by one of the bill’s lead sponsors.

Reps. Raul M. Grijalva, D-Arizona, and Kathy Castor, D-Florida, cospon-

sored the Ocean-Based Climate Solutions Act, Oct. 20, as part of an attempt to “tackle” the climate crisis. “ T h i s l a nd m a rk le g i s l a t ion … [would] address the ocean impacts of climate change and reform federal ocean management to better account

One of California’s last remaining waterfront pavilions

Orange County Archives photo

NEWPORT BEACH—Balboa Pavilion is one of Newport Beach’s most famous landmarks and is one of California’s last surviving waterfront recreational pavilions from the turn of the century.

Construction of the wooden Victorian design building was completed in 1906 and coincided with the completion of the Pacific Electric Red Car Line, which began near Pasadena, wound down through Los Angeles and Long Beach, and ended in central Balboa.

The original building consisted of a large 8,000-square-foot meeting room on the second story and a simple bathhouse on the first floor where people could change into bathing suits. Over its

history, a post office, barber shop, ten lane bowling alley and art museum all once operated in the building. Currently, the Pavilion is used as a marine recreation facility, with sport fishing boats, a passenger catamaran to Catalina Island, harbor sightseeing cruises, boat rentals, whale watching, and the Harborside Restaurant and Grand Ballroom.

The Pavilion was named a California State Historic Landmark in 1968.

protection, support climate-ready fisheries, tackle ocean health challenges and restore U.S. leadership in international ocean governance.

“A healthy ocean is key to fighting the climate crisis,” Grijalva said during a virtual press conference, where he and others introduced the federal legislation. “This bill provides a roadmap for ocean and coastal climate resilience, and responsibly uses them to curb the pollution that is intensifying the climate crisis.

“We must stop the ongoing damage to our oceans to protect the food, jobs and coastlines that millions of Americans depend on,” Grijalva continued. “A healthy ocean is an environmental justice issue and we need to make sure to put protections for low income and communities of color at the front and center.”

Castor said the legislation, if approved by Congress and ultimately signed into law, would help the United States reach net-zero emissions by 2050. The Ocean-Based Climate Solutions Act would also address offshore drilling, she said.

“The ocean is a powerful ally in the climate fight and unleashing its potential will help us reach our goal of net-zero emissions by 2050 or earlier. The Ocean-Based Climate Solutions Act incorporates many of the recommendations in our Climate Crisis Action Plan, which gives Congress a roadmap for creating a healthier, more resilient and more just America,” Castor said. “It will unleash the incredible power of the ocean and address the threat that offshore drilling poses to America’s coastal communities.”

Grijalva, Castor and others specifically stated the Ocean-Based Climate Solutions Act would help the United States transition to a clean energy economy by moving away from fossil fuels.

“The bill supports the transition to a clean energy economy by reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with ocean sectors and increasing ocean-based renewable energy – helping us move away from fossil fuels and protect the ocean and coastal habitats that are important to health fish, marine wildlife and coastal economies,” Grijalva said in a statement.

Climate-ready fisheries would also benefit from the proposal, according to Grijalva. “[ The bi l l wou ld suppor t] cl imate-ready fisheries with the development and implementation of strategies to improve the management of fisheries in a changing climate, and also helps to promote U.S. seafood sourced from environmentally and climate-friendly fisheries,” Grijalva continued in his statement.

Marine protected areas, salt marshes and mangroves would also be promoted by the legislation, if it makes it out of the House and U.S. Senate, and onto the president’s desk for signature.

A few of the bill’s co-sponsors are from California. They are Reps. Alan Lowenthal, Jared Huffman, Mike Levin and Julia Brownley.

All of the listed co-sponsors are Democrats. There is no indication yet whether the Ocean-Ba sed Climate Solutions Act has bipartisan support.

NMMA August Report: New Powerboat Retail Sales Up 8 Percent NATIONWIDE—New data from the National Marine Manufacturers Association shows August was another strong month for new powerboat retail sales, which were up 8 percent year to date on a seasonally-adjusted basis compared to a year ago.

NMMA’s August New Powerboat Registrations data found while new power boat retail sales slowed in August following unprecedented increases in the early summer months – total sales were down 13 percent compared to July – sales are still strong with increases across all major categories, year to date. The report also found sales of saltwater fishing boats, tow boats, cruisers and yachts each had double-digit growth ranging from 11 percent to 15 percent, compared to 2019.

“There was a slight pullback in new power boat retail sales in August compared to July, but overall sales are still very strong,” Vicky Yu, NMMA director of business intelligence said in a released statement. “All new power boat segments have recovered from any pandemic-related losses, with double-digit growth in six segments, surpassing pre-pandemic expectations. 2020 has been a banner year for new power boat retail sales, and we expect that we’ll end the year with annual boat sales reaching a 13-year high.”

New boats debut at 2020 FLIBS FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA—One of the only boat shows to carry on despite the Covid-19 pandemic took place Oct. 28-Nov. 1 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, which is known as the “Yachting Capital

of the World.” Several new boats debuted at the 61st annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS).

Among the debuts was Worth Yachts’ 180-foot superyacht Sovereign,

by Newcastle Shipyards, and Denison Yachting displayed the 118-foot Arthur’s Way, from Millennium Super Yachts.

The Mangusta GranSport 33 made her U.S. debut; the 109-foot fast displacement yacht seeks to combine technical features such as speed, greater range and limited consumption with performance and high efficiency.

Azimut Yachts presented its Magellano 25 Metri, a yacht created in partnership with Vincenzo De Cotiis, who created the interiors, and Ken Freivokh, who drew its exterior. The boat uses carbon fiber and includes an active, air-sanitizing system based on a NASA patent.

Intrepid Yachts showed its new 409 Valor, which features luxury cruiser-like amenities including a private head and shower stall, separate master berth with queen bed and hull side windows to a forward cabin section that converts to a large double berth.

Cruisers Yachts unveiled its 42 GLS, a series that launched in June last year with the 38 GLS. The boat is designed to be a hybrid designed to appeal to those who enjoy sport or day boating.

Boating versus Covid-19:

Re-Opening in Los Angeles County?

The county’s Board of Supervisors is being asked to allow multiple households on a single vessel, similar to protocols implemented for San Diego’s boaters.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT

LOS ANGELES —It’s a rare moment when

a policy action in San Diego County influences possible regulatory action in Los Angeles County, yet America’s Finest City has certainly influenced a campaign to update its Covid-19-themed mandates for recreational boating in Marina del Rey, Redondo Beach, San Pedro and Long Beach.

San Diego County, in late September, approved a set of protocols allowing recreational boating to re-open. Boaters at San Diego Bay, Mission Bay, Oceanside Harbor and all local lakes are now allowed to have non-household members aboard, so long as certain protocols, such a social distancing, mask-wearing and hygiene practices, are followed.

The ripple effects of San Diego County’s re-opening protocols were felt more than 100 miles away in Los Angeles, where a campaign to implement a similar mandate for boaters in the nation’s largest county immediately took effect.

Updating the county’s protocols, which limits boating activities to members of a single household, could be up for debate at an upcoming L.A. Board of Supervisors meeting. A proposal to expand recreational boating activities in all of Los Angeles County to include members of other households aboard the same vessel already cleared one hurdle: The Small Craft Harbor Commission, which is part of the L.A. County Department of Beach and Harbors.

Will the campaign to re-open recreational boating in Los Angeles County be successful? If so, will other Califor-

nia counties follow suit and enact similar protocols? Only time will tell. The Small Craft Harbor Commission – thanks to some campaigning by Redondo Beach’s King Harbor Yacht Club, the Association of Santa Monica Bay Yacht Clubs, and others – has recommended the county update its recreational boating protocols for Covid-19.

COUNTY PROTOCOLS A draft document of stating an updated set of protocols for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to issue, and recreational boaters to follow, was obtained by The Log. The draft protocols, if approved, would provide guidance for marina tenants, sailing clubs, yacht clubs and those launching from public ramps.

County officials specifically mandated the protocols to be conspicuously posted wherever boats are docked or launched.

All boat owners at marinas or yacht clubs must be informed of the protocols.

Boat owners must also maintain a log of non-household guests who came aboard the vessel, for contact tracing purposes.

Face coverings are required for everyone aboard the vessel, and “must be worn when within 6 feet of another person not in the same household for more than 15 minutes.”

Land-based gatherings would be prohibited under the re-opening protocols.

“For regattas, it is recommended that skippers’ meetings and award presentations be accomplished online,” the draft protocols stated. “When rafted together, persons transitioning across boats or on someone else’s boat will wear face covering when 6 feet of separation cannot be achieved.”

Several measures must be taken to sure hygiene and sanitation aboard each boat.

“The person in charge of the boat shall be responsible for the cleanliness and sanitation of the boat prior to allowing persons on board,” the draft document stated. “The person in charge of the boat will be responsible for providing hand washing facilities and/or hand sanitizer effective against Covid-19 to all persons on the boat, to include requiring hand sanitizing before boarding.

“The person in charge of the boat will be responsible for providing disinfecting sprays and wipes that are effective against Covid-19 to sanitize equipment and frequently touched surfaces,” the draft document continued.

L.A. COUNTY SMALL HARBOR CRAFT COMMISSION The Small Craft Harbor Commission, an advisory board which makes policy recommendations for Marina del Rey, voted in favor of requesting the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to develop protocols allowing non-household members to conduct boating activities together, Oct. 14.

Ken Johnson of L.A. Rowing Club, in addressing the Small Craft Harbor Commission letter, sought to have the county clarify whether use of rowing vessels would qualify as recreational activity under any new mandates to allow expanded boating in Marina del Rey. Johnson added he reviewed the expanded recreational boating mandate for San Diego County and it appeared to him the protocols applied to motorized boating. Would non-motorized boating and

sailing be included in any new mandates for on-the-water activities in Marina del Rey? John Rushing, the commodore of the Association of Santa Monica Bay Yacht Clubs, said the topic of whether to allow members of different households to engage in boating activities – especially on the same vessel – has been a contentious issue amongst members of area yacht clubs. He said the best thing the commission could do is to provide direction and clarity as to how boaters and sailors could resume boating and sailing activities in the safest way possible.

Greg Schem of Marina del Rey Lessees Association said Covid-19-themed regulations, particularly when it comes to defining “gatherings,” has been confusing.

He added the San Diego County policy was concerning, stating the requirements to keep a log for contact tracing purposes might be government overreach, especially for non-local boaters who are using the boat launch ramp and have only a couple people on board the vessel.

“What scares me about the approach San Diego is taking to this, is that it puts the owner-operator [of the vessel] in a position of representing the history of each person coming aboard the boat,” Schem said. “I think there could be certain legal ramifications coming from that.”

Schem added he observed an increase of boating activities in Marina del Rey since the start of the pandemic. He opined on-the-water activities is a safe outdoor recreational activity, and L.A. County should make an effort to be as clear as possible about how boaters should be safe, without over-regulating boating activities.

COMMISSION’S LETTER Small Craft Harbor Commission’s four members – David Lumian, Nathan Salazar, Richard Montgomery and Allyn Rifkin – formally approved a letter to the Board of Supervisors, expressing

“Whether to allow members of different households to engage in boating activities – especially on the same vessel – has been a contentious issue amongst members of area yacht clubs.”

— John Rushing, the commodore of the Association of Santa Monica Bay Yacht Clubs

their collective position on “the Safe Reopening Protocols of Private Recreational Boating.”

Commissioners acknowledged L.A. County’s Department of Public Health, through the “Protocols for Small Water Vessel Charter,” limits those who can be on a boat to members of the same household.

THELOG.COM

San Diego County’s expansion of recreational boating activities to include members of different households on a vessel gave the commission an opening to request a similar relaxing of protocols in Los Angeles County.

“It has come to our attention that recreational boating, in most other nearby counties, was never similarly restricted [as Los Angeles County],” the commission letter stated. “And San Diego County has recently re-opened boating to both household and non-household persons, through a new boating protocol. We are requesting your board’s support in implementing similar protocols for the waters under the jurisdiction of Los Angeles County, including Marina del Rey, King Harbor, Los Angeles, and the San Pedro Bay, as well as the local lakes.”

LATEST NEWS UPDATES

blips on the radar By Parimal M. Rohit New leadership selected for Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners WHAT HAPPENED: Commissioner Michael Zucchet was elected to his first term as chair of the Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners, Oct. 9.

Commissioner Dan Malcolm was selected as vice chair, while Commissioner Rafael Castellanos will be the next secretary.

Zucchet is currently finishing off his term as vice chair; he is the most recent commissioner to be appointed to the

board. He was appointed to the commission in 2017, shortly after then-Commissioner Bob Nelson announced his departure from the dais.

Zucchet is one of three representatives from San Diego on the Board of Port Commissioners. He was a member of the San Diego City Council between 2002 and 2005, serving as vice mayor in the final year of his time at City Hall. Since 2009 he has been the General Manager of the San Diego Municipal Employees Association.

The incoming board chair also served as a renewable energy economist for

the U.S. Department of Energy and vice president of real estate for the J. Peter Block Companies. He also had a stint as the government affairs director of the San Diego City Fire Fighters Union.

Malcolm, meanwhile, is wrapping up the final few weeks of his term as secretary.

Zucchet will succeed Commissioner Ann Moore, who has served as chair since January.

WHAT’S ON TAP: Zucchet will officially become the board’s chair in January 2021.

The passing of the baton from one chair to the next is performed annually at a formal event, yet the swearing-in of next year’s leadership is probably up in the air right now, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

KING HARBOR YACHT CLUB The commission’s request for expanding boating protocols would apply to all of Los Angeles County, meaning all lakes and harbors within the county would be bound by the updated mandate, not just Marina del Rey. At least one yacht club outside of Marina del Rey formally expressed its support for direction and protocol for recreational boating activities for all of Los Angeles County.

King Harbor YC in Redondo Beach, through its commodore, sent a letter to members of the Small Craft Harbor Commission on Oct. 13. The letter formally requested the county’s Board of Supervisors and Department of Public Health to “provide protocol direction for private recreational boating in Los Angeles County.”

“Guidance for recreational/private boating among the counties in Southern California has been inconsistent.” Lee Coller, King Harbor YC’s commodore, said in his letter to the Small Craft Harbor Commission. “In Los Angeles County, private recreational boaters see a specific protocol for Small Water Vessel Charters that allows fishing and whale watching using specific protocol guidelines. The restaurant protocol has allowed for the operation of large charter vessels in Marina del Rey, which serve food to small groups of diners.

“Differing interpretations of what is allowed among various harbors within Los Angeles County, as relating to private recreational boating, have served to increase confusion during this already stressful time,” Coller continued.

Coller’s letter also referenced the San Diego County “Safe Opening Protocol for Recreational Boating” order. He added common-sense guidelines would be embraced by boaters.

“A recommended reopening protocol from the Recreational Boaters of California encourages all boaters, boating organizations and yacht clubs to follow their common-sense guidelines … when boating with friends, family and members,” Coller said. “Boating is a unique recreational activity that can be enjoyed outdoors, in fresh air and sunshine, which are thought to inhibit the spread of Covid-19, in a manner consistent with social distancing.”

When this matter will be taken up by the Board of Supervisors was not yet announced when this story went to press.

Ineffective oversight named probable cause of Conception fire; NTSB calls for safety changes NTSB investigation photos

NTSB’s five-member board voted to approve the investigators’ findings, probable cause, recommendations and the draft final report on the 2019 deadly dive boat fire off the coast of Santa Barbara.

By LINDSEY GLASGOW

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found the probable cause of the fire onboard Conception was the failure of Truth Aquatics Inc. – the vessel’s owner – to provide effective oversight of its vessel and crew member operations including requirements to ensure a roving patrol was maintained.

NTSB’s five-member board voted to approve the investigators’ findings, probable cause, recommendations and the draft final report on the investigation into the deadly fire, Oct. 20. The blaze broke out in the early morning hours of Sept. 2, 2019 aboard the 75-foot commercial diving vessel while it was anchored in Platts Harbor off Santa Cruz Island. All 33 passengers and one crew member who were sleeping below deck when the blaze broke out died in the accident. Five crew members above deck were able to escape.

According to information presented by investigators on Oct. 20, the exact cause of the fire could not be determined but investigators identified electrical systems, charging batteries and devices, improperly discarded smoking materials or another unknown source as the most likely ignition source.

“The examination of the wreckage did not reveal evidence that indicated a probable origin area and cause of the fire,” NTSB Fire and Explosion Investigator Joseph Panagiotou said.

Panagiotou said because the vessel burned and sank, they had to rely on crew member statements, examination of a similar vessel in the Truth Aquatics fleet, Vision, and statements from previous passengers about typical operating practices on board to determine the cause and origin of the fire. They determined the fire originated in the aft part of the salon. Several crew members told investigators it was common for cameras, flashlights and other devices to be charging in the salon overnight.

Investigators told board members the absence of the required roving patrol delayed detection of the fire, allowed it to grow and directly led to the high number of fatalities. According to investigators, the captain said he believed having one staff member sleeping in the bunkroom fulfilled the roving patrol requirement.

Investigators also said Truth Aquatics provided ineffective safety oversight of its vessels’ operations, which jeopardized the safety of crew and passengers. Investigators went on to say Truth Aquatics lacked a Safety Management System and did not follow its Loss Control Program, lacked training in critical areas, lacked company oversight and had a poor overall safety culture.

Dive Boat Conception Findings While Conception met U.S. Coast Guard Chapter T regulations requiring two means of exit from the bunkroom, both exits led to the same area and according to the NTSB investigation this layout contributed to the deadliness of the fire aboard the diving vessel in 2019.

“A grim picture of a charter boat company that repeatedly disregarded its procedures,” said NTSB Board Chair Robert Sumwalt.

The investigation also called into question U.S. Coast Guard regulations.

Records show the Conception passed all recent safety inspections.

Investigation findings found a lack of U.S. Coast Guard regulations for smoke detection in all accommodation spaces in small vessels with overnight accommodations and the configuration of exits from the bunkroom contributed to the fire and its deadliness.

Current Coast Guard’s Chapter T regulations require two exits from the bunkroom but do not prohibit them from exiting into the same space. On Conception, the exits from the bunkroom, a spiral staircase and escape hatch above the top bunks, both led to the salon where investigators believe the fire started.

“Staff believes Chapter T regulations are not adequate because they allow for primary and secondary means of escape into the same space,” NTSB marine investigator Marcel Muise said.

The size of the emergency hatch – 22 inches by 22 inches – also came into question despite meeting Coast Guard requirements. Board members criticized it as inadequate.

The smoke detectors in the bunk area were not connected together in a unified fire detection and alarm system and there were no smoke detectors in the salon, but met current regulations.

“By the time smoke could reach the passenger bunkroom the fire would have grown and made the salon compartment impassable,” NTSB investigator Joseph Panagiotou said.

NTSB made a slew of recommendations to the Coast Guard, including revising Chapter T regulations to require all small passenger vessels with overnight accommodations to have smoke detectors in all accommodation spaces, requiring vessels built prior to 1996 to have interconnected smoke detectors, requiring all small passenger vessels with overnight accommodations to provide a secondary means of escape into a different space than the primary exit, modifying regulations for small passenger vessels with overnight accommodations constructed prior to 1996 to ensure there are no obstructions to egress and coming up with an effective means of verifying compliance with the roving patrol requirement.

The board recommended until the Coast Guard requires a secondary means of exit into a different space, that the Coast Guard share the circumstance of the Conception accident with members and encourage members to make the change voluntarily.

A separate criminal investigation into the fire is still ongoing.

Santa Barbara’s 34th annual Parade of Lights canceled due to Covid-19 restrictions It was announced at the Oct. 15 Harbor Commission meeting the annual holiday boat parade in Santa Barbara Harbor has been canceled.

By LINDSEY GLASGOW SANTA BARBARA —The Santa Barbara

Waterfront Department announced at the Oct. 15 Santa Barbara Harbor Commission meeting the annual Parade of Lights has been canceled this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Santa’s Village and fireworks show will also not take place this year.

“This is just basically due to the Covid restrictions we have in place,” said Harbor Operations Manager Erik Engebretson at the Oct. 15 Harbor Commission meeting.

As of the time this paper went to press, Santa Barbara was in the state’s red tier for Covid-19 risk. Under guidelines for the tier, gatherings are not allowed, with a few exceptions.

This would have been the 34th iteration of the mid-December boat parade, which features boats decked out in holiday decorations. According to a staff report, the Waterfront Department does still have a number of safe activities in the works for the holiday season.

“Staff is looking at other ways to possibly have a virtual parade of sorts to be broadcast on the Waterfront Department’s website,” Engebretson said at the Oct. 15 meeting. “VIPs could submit their votes online we could have folks still decorate their boats and keep them in the slips and we’re also considering a single vote by the general public who could also vote online.”

Details of those events will be posted on the department’s website at santabarbaraca.gov/waterfront when they become available. Updates will also be posted on the department’s social media accounts.

EXXONMOBIL TO TEMPORARILY USE CITY PIER At the Oct. 15 meeting, the Harbor Commission was also informed ExxonMobil will temporarily use the City Pier to conduct their personnel exchanges. According to a staff report, ExxonMobil approached the Santa Barbara Waterfront Department last spring, asking to allow their crew boats use of the City Pier for their personnel exchanges. ExxonMobil has historically done their exchanges at the Ellwood Pier in Goleta.

An ExxonMobile representative said at the Oct. 15 Harbor Commission meeting they are negotiating details of a lease agreement with a private-property owner

who owns the land between the Ellwood Pier and connecting road in order to continue using that location for their personnel exchanges. He said that is their preferred long-term location and using the City Pier is a short-term solution until they get the details of the agreement sorted out.

Currently, ExxonMobil’s Santa Ynez Unit is not producing because of the June 2015 incident with the Plains All American Pipeline. However, all equipment remains in place in an operation-ready state, requiring ongoing inspections, maintenance and surveillance. During this period, staff and activity levels at the platforms are greatly reduced from full operation and the platforms currently monitored with a skeleton crew of about 15.

ExxonMobil has a tentative temporary use agreement with the Waterfront Department that will be reviewed every eight weeks by Waterfront staff. According to a staff report, any issues arising from ExxonMobil causing impact to other ocean dependent harbor users will be addressed up to, and, including termination of the agreement. It is unclear how long ExxonMobil will be using the City Pier.

According to a staff report, ExxonMobil would be allotted about 30 minutes, five time per week for their personnel exchanges and would be charged wharfage and docking fees.

“It’s no different than what we’re doing already with other companies,” said Engebretson. “It’s just that this company in the interest of transparency we wanted you folks to know as well that it’s Exxon.”

The presentation at the Oct. 15 Harbor Commission meeting was purely informational, no action was needed or taken by the advisory board.

SANTA BARBARA FUEL DOCK GRANTED LEASE AGREEMENT FOR WATERFRONT OFFICE SPACE The Harbor Commission also reviewed and approved a recommendation that the City Council approve a five-year lease agreement with Santa Barbara Fuel Dock, Inc., for a 218-square-foot office located at 125 Harbor Way, at a rate of $610.15 per month.

The harbor fuel dock has been leased to Union Oil Company of California (Unocal) since the 1950’s. SB Fuel Dock currently leases office space at 125 Harbor Way on the second floor of the Marine Center Building. The lease expires on Dec. 31, and SB Fuel Dock requested a new lease with the city at an initial rate of $610.15 per month, subject to annual cost of living increases based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. The proposed lease agreement will allow SB Fuel Dock to continue with on-site management of the fuel dock.

NEW TOOL AIMS TO REDUCE SHIP COLLISIONS WITH ENDANGERED WHALES IN SANTA BARBARA CHANNEL The 70-mile Santa Barbara Channel is a feeding ground for multiple endangered whale species including blues, humpbacks and fins.

UCSB’s Benioff Ocean Initiative has been working with a collaboration of scientists on tool called Whale Safe, a mapping and analysis tool designed for the shipping industry that displays near real-time whale presence information.

By LINDSEY GLASGOW SANTA BARBARA —Research has shown ships a nd enda ngered wha les c a n become a deadly combination. A coalition of scientists has been working on a tool called Whale Safe to help the two coexist with less danger for whales in the Santa Barbara Channel.

“We all depend on the marine shipping industry for so many of the goods we use, so trying to strike this balance where ships and whales can coexist in this really

busy stretch of ocean,” said Morgan Visalli, University of California Santa Barbara’s Benioff Ocean Initiative’s Project Lead/Coordinator for Whale Safe.

The 70-mile channel is a feeding ground for multiple endangered whale species including blues, humpbacks and fins. It is also a bustling stretch of water for the marine shipping industry, as part of the route to the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, which together, rank as the world’s 9th busiest container port complex.

On Sept. 17, Whale Safe launched its online tool, with the goal of reducing the risk of fatal ship collisions with endangered whales.

“I’m hopeful the data coming out of Whale Safe will empower folks with the data they do need to stop these collisions from happening so we can protect these endangered species,” Visalli said.

The mapping and analysis tool uses acoustic detection, Blue Whale habitat modeling and visual sightings from trusted observers, such as the Channel Islands Naturalist Corps and whale watching and tourism vessels, to display near real-time whale and ship data for the Santa Barbara Channel. Whale Safe also includes an

integrated whale presence rating of low, medium, high or very high.

“Whale Safe integrates all that data to produce a daily whale presence assessment that can then be used to form different ship routing or speed decisions or ship management decisions,” Visalli said.

Despite efforts to reduce fatal whaleship collisions, including two speed reduction programs and a modified shipping lane route, 2018 and 2019 were the worst years on record for fatal whale-ship collisions off the west coast of the U.S, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Researchers say the actual number of ship strikes is likely much higher than the number recorded because of the low probability of detecting a whale carcass, with scientists estimating more than 80 endangered whales are likely killed by ship strikes off the west coast each year.

“Whales are of course beneficial for maintaining healthy marine ecosystems and coastal economies, they’re even important for addressing climate change, so the more we can do to help protect these endangered populations is really essential,” said Visalli.

Since 2017, Benioff Ocean Initiative

has been working with scientists from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Texas A&M University Galveston, the University of California Santa Cruz, University of Washington, and NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center to create Whale Safe. The Benioff Ocean Initiative first began the project after receiving public interest in the issue. As part of their business model, the initiative crowd sources input on ocean issues people would like to see them work on.

“In 2017 we received multiple submissions around this issue of whale-ship collisions and many more submissions around marine conservation more generally and that’s what kind of first inspired us getting involved in this issue,” Visalli said.

Whale Safe also uses information from Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) to display voluntary vessel speed reduction zones and to determine which vessels and companies best abide by NOAA’s voluntary speed recommendations.

Research from a study on the East Coast demonstrated ships that slow to 10 knots in areas with high whale presence significantly reduce the danger to whales. Typical ship speeds through the Santa Barbara Channel are 14-18 knots but there are two speed reduction programs in the Santa Barbara Channel.

With the tool up and running, Whale Safe is now focusing efforts on building out the communication pathways to get the data to the government partners who decide when to put slow speed zones in place, the shipping industry and port district officials.

“We’ve kind of been really focused on building out the data and building out the tool as a way to share the data, so now we’re kind of moving into this phase of more outreach and getting users on board,” Visalli said.

Whale Safe will be monitoring whaleship collision data for 2020 as well as AIS data to determine if the tool is having an effect on fatal whale-ship collisions. Visalli said another factor that will play into the 2020 data is Covid-19, which limited the ability of researchers to go out and collect information on whale deaths.

“It’ll be interesting to see what the data shows for 2020, because of the pandemic, researchers haven’t been able to perform necropsies,” Visalli said.

Catalina Connection

By LINDSEY GLASGOW A V A L O N —T h e C a t a l i n a I s l a n d

Conservancy annual Symposium will be held virtually Nov. 2 through 23.

The event features four virtual discussions about the research and work taking place on Catalina Island. The discussions are free to attend but space is limited and registration is required.

The first event, “A Flora Apart: Plants of Catalina Island, Past and Present”, takes place Nov. 2 from noon to 1 p.m.

Conservancy Botanist and Native Plant Manager Seth Kauppinen will address the assembly of Catalina’s plant communities, in the context of paleoclimatological trends across western North America.

“Every flora is the product of forces that act over millennia and vast spatial scales; an understanding of those processes lends a deeper sense of place,” the event description states.

The second discussion, “Tropical Par-

adise or Desert Island? Understanding Precipitation Variability on Catalina Island”, takes place on Nov. 9 from noon to 1 p.m. Conservation Operations Director Laura Minuto will explore long-term precipitation data at multiple locales on the island, and discuss how these datasets help us better understand, and manage, Catalina’s wildlands, which can embody the extremes of a lush, green, tropical paradise or a bleak and desolate windswept desert island.

The third event, “Naturalist Training Goes Virtual: Evaluation of Program Impacts and Audience Response”, will be held Nov. 16 from noon to 1 p.m. Education Director Dr. Leah Melber will talk about first quarter data including successes, tweaks, and unexpected findings for the online version of the Naturalist 1 Training since the program’s launch of the online version due to Covid-19.

One substantive proposed update was related to single residential use floats in west Newport channels.

ALTASEA REARRANGES AGREEMENTS WITH PORT OF LOS ANGELES

AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles was allowed to cancel one of its agreements with the port district. The cancelation will allow AltaSea to seek additional federal grant funding.

Parties cancel one agreement to allow the nonprofit to seek more federal grant funding; lease amendment, meanwhile, is updated to ‘reflect changes in AltaSea’s monetary commitments.’

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT LOS ANGELES —The Port of Los Angeles adopted two changes to its contractual arrangements with AltaSea during the Board of Harbor Commissioners’ Oct. 1 meeting in Los Angeles. Board members specifically adopted a second amendment to the port district’s lease agreement with AltaSea, allowing the nonprofit to meet its tenant obligations.

The board also canceled an agreement the port district had with AltaSea. The cancelation will allow the nonprofit to seek new federal grants as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

AltaSea entered into an agreement with the port district in 2013, allowing the nonprofit organization to build, operate and maintain an urban marine research facility at City Dock No. 1. Both parties entered into a 50-year lease agreement, according to a port district staff report prepared for Harbor Commission members.

Each action was adopted as separate action agenda items.

LEASE AMENDMENT Board members first approved a second amendment to the AltaSea lease, during its Oct. 1 meeting. The 50-year lease agreement was originally enacted on Dec. 23, 2013, and called the nonprofit to construct, operate and maintain an urban marine research facility on as many as 11 parcels at the port district (totaling 32.73 acres in size).

The lease was amended for the first time in August 2017 and permitted AltaSea to “expedite activation and development of the premises,” according to port district staff.

The first lease amendment also reduced certain financial obligations “without compromising the original mission and goals including providing compara-

ble public access infrastructure, educational and public programming, job creation and economic activity.”

Covid-19 and a few other factors forced the port district and AltaSea to amend the lease agreement a second time, according to port district staff.

“Various milestones and tenant obligations under [the lease] will not be met due to a combination of factors,” port district staff said in a report to commissioners. “Continued delays from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, project cost increases, revisions to project scope, schedule and investment, project development sequencing related to a partnership with UCLA and, most recently, Covid-19 pandemic effects have hindered AltaSea from meeting certain deliverables required by the lease.”

The second lease amendment includes an adjustment of parcel acceptance dates, leeway for timeline extensions for the marine research facility project, schedule updates, changes to monetary commitments, rent credit amendments and the possibility of extending the lease to 66 years.

AltaSea’s financial commitments, under the second lease amendment, would increase from $19.6 million to $35 million.

Through agreements with Sun Communities, Safe Harbor Marinas will operate independently from Sun Communities’ other businesses. According to a port district staff report, SHM Venture Isle’s entity, operations, and management team will remain the same.

“As a result, the Safe Harbor team will operate the company independently from Sun’s other businesses and Baxter Underwood will remain the CEO of Safe Harbor,” Sun Communities Chief Executive Officer Gary Shiftman said in an email to the port district. “From your vantage point things will remain the same.”

ers also canceled a grant award agreement it had with AltaSea (through the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration grant), AltaSea’s marine research facility project was eligible for a $3 million federal grant, through the Economic Development Administration, or EDA. Los Angeles’s Harbor Department was a co-applicant on the grant.

“With the current financial climate due to Covid-19, AltaSea expects a significant increase in available EDA funding in a post-pandemic environment,” port district staff said in a report to commissioners. “According to AltaSea, based on recent discussions, the EDA has been favorable to AltaSea reapplying for more funding than was provided in the current EDA Grant agreement.

“According to AltaSea, the EDA will not allow amendments to the current five-year limit to complete the proposed project scope,” port district staff continued. “AltaSea cannot complete the scope of work within the current timeframe under the most optimistic circumstances during these adverse times.

Therefore, AltaSea has proposed the Harbor Department … terminate the EDA Grant agreement.”

Terminating the grant agreement (and an associated Memorandum of Understanding) will allow for a new grant application to be processed.

with Ventura Isle Marina since Nov. 2003. The ground lease was amended and transferred to SHM Ventura Isle in April 2016.

As required by that lease, Sun Communities will pay the district a one-time “Appreciation Rent” payment for the change in ownership. The district will receive $862,000 from Sun Communities for this fee. Sun Communities will also reimburse the port district for its legal fees.

Long-term goals for the marina outlined in a staff report included increasing economic development, vitality, and diversity of the district through effective leasing and marketing strategies and building respectful, productive, and mutually beneficial business relationships with tenants, public agencies, elected officials and the community.

SAN DIEGO’S PORT DISTRICT SEEKING FEEDBACK ON REVISED PORT MASTER PLAN UPDATE

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT SAN DIEGO —The San Diego Unified

Port District continues to keep an eye on the future, as plans to make wholesale changes to the region’s waterfront continue to come into focus. District leaders and officials are specifically working on updating the Port Master Plan, which hasn’t been changed since 1981.

The latest draft of the port district’s Port Master Plan Update, which would establish the direction of the port’s redevelopment, was made available to the public for review and comment. Port district staff is asking the public to provide feedback on the draft document; the draft PMPU will be available for public feedback through Nov. 17.

“In a general way, the Port Master Plan Update determines where port activities take place, where public access – including recreational amenities and view corridors – are to be located, where commercial uses like hotels, restaurants and visitor-serving retail may be built, and helps to protect and restore the natural the natural environment,” port district staff said in a released statement.

The Port Master Plan, according to the draft update document, is a “comprehensive vision” for the Port of San Diego.

“This plan governs the use, design, and improvement of these public trust lands. Since its original adoption in 1964, the Plan has demonstrated continued progress towards the district’s mission to protect and promote coastal-dependent uses, protect the environment, and provide and ensure coastal access

around San Diego Bay,” the draft update document stated. “The plan establishes specific goals, objectives, policies, and standards to direct future development, facilitate a diverse range of uses and activities, and provide a broad range of proposed public improvements.”

There are six elements in the PMPU: water and land use; mobility; ecology; safety and resiliency; environmental justice; and, economics.

The Port Master Plan has been updated four times since it was initially adopted in January 1964; those updates took place in 1972, 1975, 1976 and 1981.

The port district’s member cities – Chula Vista, Coronado, Imperial Beach, National City and San Diego – each managed segments of San Diego Bay prior to the formation of the San Diego Unified Port District.

Port district staff stated they have been gathering community and stakeholder input for the past seven years.

Public outreach efforts included 19 million-plus points of contact since 2017, more than 6,300 responses to two online surveys, 380-plus meetings with stakeholders and partner agencies, 39 public board workshops and meetings, and 19 open houses and meetings.

“There will be additional opportunities for public review and feedback as the PMPU process continues,” according to port district staff.

The port district plans to have a board workshop on the PMPU draft before the end of the year. Board members will provide direction on the revised draft at this workshop. A draft Environmental Impact Report on the PMPU will be made available to the public in mid-2021. The finalized PMPU could be presented in front of the California Coastal Commission at some point in 2022. Coastal Commission certification is the final step of the PMPU process.

The draft update was based upon community input provided to the port district in April 2019.

Newport Beach Harbor Commission sends revised Marine Activities Permits section of Title 17 to council The City Council approved most revisions to Title 17, the Harbor Code, in January, but the Harbor Commission requested additional time to refine section dealing with Marine Activities Permits.

to section 17.10 Marine Activities Permits over the last year. After several public meetings, the proposed changes were presented to the entire Commission on Oct. 14. In addition to general language clarification, major changes included an expansion of the definition of what a commercial activity is, narrowing what activities would be exempt from obtaining a MAP and stricter penalties.

Currently commercial fishing vessels, six-pack and 12-pack charters, businesses operating pursuant to a franchise or lease, any permittee under the Army Corps, special events or commercial film and private marinas are exempt from MAPs. Under the proposed changes, exemptions from obtaining a MAP would only apply to the Army Corps of Engineers, those with a special event or commercial film permit from the city and private marinas operating with a commercial

pier permit, lease or franchise issued by the city. However, current exempt operators would continue to be exempt provided they meet certain basic requirements in the MAP code. If exempt businesses change their operations, they would need to obtain a MAP. According to a staff report, the city currently has no enforcement mechanism to enforce rules on exempt businesses and the Harbor Department has received some complaints.

“The impacts of not having a marine activities permit is starting to show,” Newport Beach Assistant City Attorney Yolanda Summerhill said at the Oct. 14 Harbor Commission meeting.

According to a staff report, reducing exemptions will allow the city to verify insurance requirements, business license, appropriate sanitation devices, noise limitations, appropriate trash removal, and more.

“By revising this code for MAPs we will be opening the door to capturing a lot of non-compliant operators and I think that is the intent of this section,” said Commissioner Don Yahn.

Another proposed change would increase the fine amounts for Marine Activities Permit citations, which currently range from $100 to $500. According

to a staff report, these fines do not provide an incentive for permit holders to change their behavior and the recommended changes would increase these fines to $1,000 to up to $3,000.

Under the proposed changes, there would also be an enhanced process for the suspension or revocation of a MAP. Other proposed changes included requiring all businesses in the harbor to provide adequate insurance naming the city as an additional insured, requiring loading and unloading to occur at a private dock and limiting outdoor lighting.

Commissioners raised some questions about the changes and recognized more modifications could be necessary in the future, but ultimately decided there was enough substance to push it forward.

“In our objectives we realize that Title 17 is a living document that’s probably going to need to be addressed on a regular basis and it’s probably one of those things we’re going to look at every year,” Commissioner William Kenney said.

In addition to the revisions, the commission voted to approve creating four different types of MAPs more specifically tailored to meet the needs of the businesses operating on the water. The four types are Charter Services, Marine Serving Services, Human Powered Vessels and Wind, Electric and Fuel Powered Vessels. According to a staff report, staff will continue to refine the permits administratively prior to final implementation.

“We looked at the permit that was being used by the Harbor Department, it was a one permit fits all type of situation, which we didn’t think worked well and so with staff, the ad hoc committee created four separate permits depending on the type of businesses,” Kenney said.

to replace one of its aging docks, according to the California Coastal Commission’s meeting agenda for Nov. 4-6.

City officials are applying to have Oceanside Harbor’s J Dock replaced. The dock, according to Coastal Commission staff, was built 55 years and has become extremely corrosive.

J Dock is home to 48 recreational boat slips. Rebuilding the dock will not change the number of slips or slip mix.

The new dock, however, would be slightly smaller is size – measuring 17,081 square feet. J Dock currently measures in at 17,102 square feet.

“The existing walkway, fingers, gangways and utilities will be replaced and, in some instances, reconfigured,” according to Coastal Commission staff. “The walkways and fingers will be replaced in-kind with floats made of expanded polystyrene foam, fully encapsulated in lightweight concrete. The existing 35-foot gangway at the northwestern end of the dock will be replaced with a new aluminum 80foot ADA-certified gangway with a security gate.”

Also being replaced is the 35-foot gangway at mid-dock; in its place will be a new 38-foot gangway made of aluminum.

“No new piles are proposed,” Coast-

OCEANSIDE—The city of Oceanside wants

The California Coastal Commission will consider an application by the city of Oceanside to update one of its docks, which is suffering from extensive corrosion. al Commission staff added. “All existing piles will remain in place and be utilized for the new dock structures. New electrical and potable water services will also be installed.”

There are no sensitive habitats in the project area, according to Coastal Commission staff, but eelgrass growth could still occur and potentially affect the reconfigured dock.

“A biological survey conducted in August 2019 found that no sensitive habitats, including eelgrass, existed in the project area. However, the location and extent of eelgrass can change seasonally,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners. “Because the proposed dock will change in configuration and the new dock will temporarily be secured with anchors, there is potential that new eelgrass growth could be impacted.”

The Coastal Commission is requiring Oceanside city staff to conduct pre- and

post-construction eelgrass surveys, as a condition of the project. Any eelgrass impacts discovered during the course of the project must be mitigated.

Bellingham Marine Industries, according to the Coastal Commission staff report, is the company building the new J Dock on behalf of the city of Oceanside.

Commissioners will consider Oceanside’s request on Nov. 5, the second day of its November meetings. The Coastal Commission will meet virtually, as it has throughout the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

Oceanside Harbor opened in 1963, two years before J Dock was built. There are 30 docks in the harbor, with about 960 slips available for lease to recreational and commercial boaters.

Coastal Commission staff has recommended the commission approve the project. The Log will report on the final vote in an upcoming issue.

NEWPORT BEACH SEEKS TO ADD HARBOR COMMISSION TO CITY CHARTER Measure Z, which is on the Nov. 3 ballot, would formalize “the powers and duties of the Harbor Commission” and make the advisory council a “charter designated” board.

The funds would help pay for new on-ramps and off-ramps for the 110 Freeway and Vincent Thomas Bridge (State Route 47), eliminate a congested weaving section on an existing off-ramp, and improve the intersection of Harbor Boulevard/ Front Street.

PORT OF LOS ANGELES RECEIVES NEARLY $10 MILLION FEDERAL GRANT Funding would pay for infrastructure improvements near San Pedro’s waterfront area.

LO S A N G EL E S —A nglers a nd boaters don’t have much of a choice but to interact with the intersection of Harbor Boulevard/Front Street and the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro. This is the intersection one would have to cross to visit the planned LA Waterfront or Cabrillo Way Marina. The Port of Los Angeles will be making some improvements to this intersection, thanks to a $9.88 million grant awarded to the district by the U.S. Depar tment of Transportation.

Federal officials awarded the grant to the Port of Los Angeles as part of the Port Infrastructure Development Program.

Port district staff said the Harbor Boulevard/Front Street and Vincent Thomas Bridge intersection is a “heavily traveled interchange.”

The funds would help pay for new on-ramps and off-ramps for the 110 Freeway and Vincent Thomas Bridge (State Route 47), eliminate a congested weaving section on an existing offramp, and improve the intersection of Harbor Boulevard/Front Street.

“The project will significantly reduce delay, accidents and emissions at the largest port complex in the Western Hemisphere,” port district staff stated.

“The Port of Los Angeles is designing the project – and it will construct it – in collaboration with the California Department of Transportation.

“Construction advertising is expected in December 2021,” port district staff continued.

The intersection is directly adjacent to the Los Angeles World Cruise Center and Catalina Express terminal and is less than one mile away from the Battleship USS Iowa Museum and LA Waterfront/San Pedro Public Market.

AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles and Cabrillo Way Marina are also at the southern end of Harbor Boulevard.

“Support for this federal grant came from all levels of government,” Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka said. “We are grateful to the U.S. Department of Transportation, including its Maritime Administration, the members of Congress who represent the port, and state and local leaders for recognizing the urgent need to modernize this critical junction of the National Highway Freight Network.”

also make the advisory council “a City Charter designated Appointive Board and Commission.”

Measure Z is supported by Newport Beach Mayor Will O’Neill, Mayor Pro Tem Brad Avery and Council member Marshall “Duffy” Duffield.

Avery and Duffield both served on the Harbor Commission before their respective elections to the City Council. Duffield is also the inventor of “Duffy” boats, which are commonly found darting around Newport Beach Harbor.

Jim Mosher, a Newport Beach voter and regular commentator at many City Council and Harbor Commission meetings, formally filed an opposition to Measure Z. The City Charter, if Measure Z is approved by voters, would be amended to clarify the Harbor Commission’s powers and duties.

The Harbor Commission, according to Measure Z, would advise the City Council on proposed harbor improvements and uses of Newport Beach Harbor. Commissioners would also advise the City Council on the “use, control, operation, promotion and regulation of all vessels” within Newport Beach Harbor.

Other duties would include approving (or denying) certain permit applications, recommend regulations or programs necessary for the “ongoing implementation …

of the Harbor and Bay Element of the General Plan,” and advise council members or city staff on land use or property development applications within the commission’s jurisdiction.

“The need for the Harbor Commission’s specific expertise was evident recently when the commission spent three years preparing a comprehensive revision to our Harbor Code to reflect today’s modern uses and regulations,” O’Neill, Avery and Duffield said in their defense of Measure Z. “Just like the Arts Commission and Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission, Measure Z places the Harbor Commission in the City Charter, protecting it from future political whims. We believe the Harbor Commission’s work should continue unfettered by future local politics. Measure Z does that.”

Mosher, in response, said Measure Z is poorly written and vague.

“The council member proponents say voter endorsement of this poorly- written measure is necessary to place the powers and duties of the Harbor Commission beyond the political whims of future councils,” Mosher wrote in his opposition. “Yet they ask voters to approve language that fails to do that. It continues to limit the commission’s oversight authority to what future councils assign it through the Municipal Code. And it does not clarify if the

commission’s advice will now be required, not merely available, before future councils can take action on the matters listed.”

He added the measure does nothing “to resolve the existing uncertainty about the division of labor between the council-created Harbor Commission and the pre-existing Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission.”

Newport Beach’s City Council established the Harbor Commission in 2002, according to O’Neill, Avery and Duffield, to “advice our City Council on operational, environmental and regulatory issues that control the harbor.”

“Harbor operations are complex and regulated by 13 federal, state and local agencies,” the City Council members who support Measure Z stated.

Mosher, in a formal argument against Measure Z, said the ballot initiative was not properly vetted.

“This proposal, written by an author unknown and rushed to the ballot months before necessary, has received absolutely zero public discussion or review – not even by the existing Harbor Commission,” Mosher wrote in his opposition to Measure Z. “In fact, the council’s wordless vote on May 12 to place this on the ballot was taken without the agenda mentioning such a proposal was being considered, or any announcement such action had been taken.”

 The 11th Hour Racing Team is embarking on its Transatlantic navigation to Concarneau, France.

11TH HOUR RACING TEAM UNVEILS WINTER 2020 PLANS IN EUROPE Team begins its Transatlantic crossing to France after completing training in Rhode Island.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT NEWPORT, RHODE ISL AND —The 11th Hour Racing Team has completed its seven-week training program in Newport, Rhode Island, and now embarks on its Transatlantic navigation to Concarneau, France. Crew and team members will

perform a winter refit of its IMOCA 60, which they’ll use during the 2022-23 iteration of The Ocean Race, before undergoing more training in early 2021.

Skipper Charlie Enright (USA) will be joined by Simon Fisher (Great Britain), Ron Greenghalgh (Great Britain), Kyle Langford (Australia) and Amory Ross (USA) will be making the Transatlantic crossing aboard the IMOCA 60. Swiss offshore sailor Justine Mettraux will also be aboard the IMOCA 60 for the Transatlantic crossing.

The team and crew planned to depart Newport on Oct. 26.

“It’s getting late in the year and the weather is strong and starting to move faster,” Fisher said in a released statement. “The objective of this Transatlantic is to get as much data as possible on the boat and foul and so we want the right conditions for testing – fast sailing and downwind – which we should have the whole way across.”

They will set up their base in Brittany, France, where the IMOCA 60 was designed and built. Brittany is a hub for France’s offshore sailing world, according to Enright.

“France is the home to offshore yacht

racing and so to be immersing ourselves in the culture, among the world’s experts, and to be racing alongside the very best teams, is the perfect opportunity to continue our fast-track introduction to this new class,” Enright said in a statement.

“Our current outlook is to be sailing and racing in our new IMOCA next summer.”

The 11th Hour Racing Team had been training in Newport since August. There they did a combination of simulator work to test theoretical foil configurations, day sailing and overnight offshore sessions.

The Ocean Race, which debuted in 1973, is a rigorous sailing competition around the world. It’ll start in Alicante, Spain. Competitors will then head to: Cape Verde; Cape Town, South Africa; Shenzhen, China; Auckland, New Zealand; Itajaí, Brazil; Newport, Rhode Island; Aarhus, Denmark; and, The Hague, Netherlands.

This is the second Transatlantic crossing for 11th Hour Racing and the IMOCA 60; the team crossed the Atlantic Ocean in August, when they received the boat and navigated it across The Pond to the United States.

Huntington Beach’s Jake La Dow and Newport Beach’s Alex Curtiss took first place honors at US Sailing event hosted by Balboa Yacht Club.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT NE WPORT BE ACH —Two local sailors

teamed up to win US Sailing’s 2020 Championship of Champions event, Oct. 11. The win gave Jake La Dow of Huntington Beach and Alex Curtiss of Newport Beach the Jack Brown Trophy.

La Dow and Curtiss, both Lehman 12 Class national champions, won six races and placed in one of the top four slots in 17 of 21 races during three days of racing in Newport Beach.

This year’s Championship of Champions competition, which was the 46th iteration of the event, was hosted by Balboa Yacht Club. It was one of the few regat-

tas held in 2020, as most yacht clubs and sailing organizations canceled competitions due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The regatta’s competitors were national and North American one-design class champions.

Curtiss and La Dow won the regatta by a 44-point margin. La Dow acknowledged the class of the competition.

“Everyone who is here knows how to win. That’s what’s so cool about this kind of event. Sailing against all these legends is incredible,” La Dow said. “It’s great to make the Lehman 12 class proud.”

La Dow also thanked Balboa Yacht Club for safely hosting a regatta in the middle of a pandemic.

“All the competitors felt comfortable being here and racing at this championship. The Balboa Yacht club, Organizing Authority, and all the competitors did a great job of social distancing, staying outside and being safe,” La Dow stated.

Curtiss said he and La Dow had been competitively sailing together since their college days.

We’ve been sailing together for about eight years, and that includes match racing, J70s, Etchells, you name it,” Curtiss stated.

Balboa Yacht Club Press Officer Peter Bretschger, in a released report, said the third and final day of racing featured “near perfect conditions.”

“The final day of racing was near perfect conditions, with 8-9 knots of wind and comfortable sailing condition,” Bret-

schger said. “La Dow with crew Alex Curtiss were almost flawless over the three days [of competition].”

Sunset Beach’s Chris Raab finished the race in second place; the third-place winner was Bill Menninger of Newport Beach. Raab is La Dow’s father-in-law.

All of the winners are members of Newport Harbor Yacht Club.

The 2020 Championship of Champions was held in Corona Del Mar, Oct. 9-11.

2021, according to US Sailing.

The initiative coincided with World Sailing’s announcement about changes to dates and venues for the 2021 and 2022 Youth Sailing World Championships.

America One Foundation and Quantum Racing are both supporting the US Sailing expansion of high-performance training.

“We are excited for the future, and 2021 will be an excellent opportunity to raise the bar with high quality training camps, clinics and regattas,” US Sailing Olympic Development Director Leandro Spina said. “Over the years we have learned that we achieve our best when the sailors, coaches, clubs, class associations and US Sailing are all working together, so that will be our focus.”

The 2020 Youth Sailing World Cham-

pionship, which was scheduled to take place Dec. 12-19 at Salvador, Brazil, was canceled due to Covid-19. World Sailing is still looking for a host venue for the 2021 Youth Sailing World Championship, which is scheduled for December 2021.

The 2022 Sailing World Championships was moved to the summer of 2023.

Sailors aged 19 or younger are eligible to compete in the Youth Worlds. The United States won the Nations Trophy in 2018; the trophy recognizes the top performing nation at the Youth Worlds.

The Olympic Development Program offers U.S. youth sailors who compete in high-performance classes with world-class coaching support. The program, according to US Sailing, “also manages the U.S. Team for the Youth Sailing World Championship and Youth Olympic Games.”

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FISHING NEWS Wild Trout Waters, according to Fish and Game Commission staff, “should provide the angler with an opportunity to fish in aesthetically pleasing and environmentally productive waters with trout populations whose numbers or sizes are largely unaffected by angling.”

FISH AND GAME COMMISSION DESIGNATES NEW AREAS FOR “WILD TROUT WATERS” Nearly 33 miles of stream habitat in Stanislaus National Forest deemed as ideal for populations of Brown and Rainbow trout. Wolf Creek (Mono County) and Butte Lake (Lassen County) are also added to the list.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT

STATE WIDE —Three California water-

ways were designated as “Wild Trout Waters” by the California Fish and Game Commission, Oct. 14. The waterways are Tuolumne River (Tuolumne County), Wolf Creek (Mono County) and Butte Lake (Lassen County).

CDFW staff, per the state’s Fish and Game Code, is required to prepare an annual list of at least 25 miles of stream (or stream segments), and at least one lake, “deemed suitable for designation as Wild Trout Waters.”

Wild Trout Waters, according to Fish and Game Commission staff, “should provide the angler with an opportunity to fish in aesthetically pleasing and environmentally productive waters with trout populations whose numbers or sizes are

largely unaffected by angling.”

This list is then submitted to the Fish and Game Commission for consideration.

Commissioners were asked to consider three locations this year: a 33-mile stretch of Tuolomne River near Yosemite National Park; Wolf Creek near Wolf Creek Lake in Mono County; and, Butte Lake in Lassen Volcanic National Park.

“The Tuolumne River watershed is of state and national importance with Wild and Scenic River designations, making this fishery a unique resource in the state and a quintessential candidate for Wild Trout Designations,” CDFW staff said in a report to members of the Fish and Game Commission.

CDFW staff added Wolf Creek is a “high-quality, fast-action fishery,” while

Butte Lake has “a high-quality fishery with a robust population of Coastal Rainbow Trout with trophy potential … and some Brook Trout.”

Angler access and a sufficient wild trout population to support “satisfactory trout catches” are two of the criteria considered by the commission, when reviewing candidates for Wild Trout Waters designation.

Other criteria include habitat protection and an absence of planted domestic strains in wild-designated waters.

A Wild Trout Waters designation may also be deemed as “Heritage Trout Waters” if the waterway is recognized for its “beauty, diversity, historical significance and special values of California’s native trout.

Any waterway being considered for Heritage Trout Waters must also “best exemplify indigenous strains of native trout within their historic drainages” and “provide anglers with an opportunity to catch native trout consistent with the conservation of the native trout present.”

FISHING NEWS UPDATES

tight lines

By Parimal M. Rohit

Atlantic States commission establishes quota for striped bass fishery The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission’s Atlantic Menhaden Management Board recently voted to reduce the Atlantic menhaden quota by 10 percent, it was announced. The new quota is now at 194,400 metric tons for the 2021 and 2022 fishing seasons.

The quota adjustment, which the American Sportfishing Association said was a “fundamental shift in Atlantic menhaden management,” will allow for the striped bass population and fishery to be rebuilt. The commission, in August, adopted a new ecological management system to help rebuild the striped bass fishery.

Striped bass and other sportfish fisheries rely upon Atlantic menhaden as a primary food source.

The quota announcement was made after several fishing and boating organizations urged the commission to adopt a conservative allowable catch, as a means to help rebuild the striped bass fishery.

“Striped bass fishing is the largest marine recreational fishery in the United States, contributing billions of dollars to the economy.

Striped bass are now overfished, so it is imperative that the [commission] do what it can to improve the viability of this fishery, including leaving more menhaden in

the water to help them rebuild,” the letter, signed off by representatives of American Sportfishing Association, BoatUS, Center for Sportfishing Polucy, Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership and others stated.

The signatories added the striped bass fishery is a major economic driver, hence protection of its forage is a necessary move.

“The tradeoffs associated with setting a conservative quota for menhaden are worth it when you consider that saltwater recreational fishing along the Atlantic is enjoyed by 6 million anglers annually, contributing $11.3 billion to the economy and supporting 120,236 jobs,” the letter’s signatories stated.

“The jobs created by these fisheries are the lifeblood of our Atlantic coastal communities as more than 90 percent of the sportfishing and boating industry is made up of small businesses.

“As we recover economically from this unprecedented pandemic, it is vital that the recreational fishing community have abundant fishing opportunity and that gamefish have adequate forage,” the letter continued.

san diego fish report

ANGLERS HOPE TO TARGET TUNA, DORADO, YELLOWTAIL AND MARLIN IN NOVEMBER

By Bob Vanian of 976Bite.com SAN DIEGO—It is just a few days ahead of November as this report is being prepared and it sure looks good for the prospect of

having bluefin, yellowfin, Dorado, yellowtail and striped marlin as we head into the final 60 days of 2020. One or two cold storms from the north could knock down the water temperature and send the warm water fish packing to stay in warm waters but for the time being there is still 70-plus degree clean water to be found off the Southern California and northern Baja coast. With these favorable water conditions, the warm water pelagic fish appear to be content to stay with us for a while longer.



Bluefin continue to highlight the offshore fishing and have been providing the possibility of hooking jumbo sized bluefin that are up in the 400-plus pound class.

Most of the bluefin are in the 20- to 200pound range but there are bigger bluefin being hooked and caught.



The current hot spots are for boats fishing the deep water to the southeast of the high spot at the Tanner Bank and for boats fishing easterly of the Buoy at the Cortes Bank. Most of the fish are being caught by drifting on meter marks and sonar marks with some spots of breezing fish showing at times as well.

There have also been times when some bluefin have bit in shallower water that is inside of the 50-fathom curve at both the Tanner Bank and the Cortes Bank.



The bigger sized bluefin have been biting best on kite fished frozen flying fish with sardines, mackerel and Flat Fall jigs working for a wider variety of different size bluefin. Some of the better sportboat catches coming from the Tanner Bank and Cortes Bank have included near limits to limits of bluefin tuna. Boats fishing around the 9 Fathom Spot at the Cortes Bank have also been catching some nice sized yellowtail and the 9 Fathom Spot has also been offering a chance at some bluefin tuna.



Private boater Floyd Sparks of Tuna Kahuna fished a recent trip to the Tanner Bank and had his friend, Capt. Tony Del Monte of Black and Blue aboard as his guest. Sparks was fishing the deep water to the southeast of the high spot at the Tanner Bank and reported starting out the day with a 20-pound bluefin tuna that bit on a Flat Fall jig. Their next action was hooking a large bluefin that bit on a live mackerel, but that fish was lost when the hook pulled out. A short while later Sparks said that they hooked

Bob Vanian’s

another jumbo sized bluefin that bit on a kite fished flying fish and that hookup led to the eventual success of boating a truly whopper sized bluefin tuna.



Sparks reported that the jumbo bluefin measured 82 inches long and was estimated to be in the 350- to 400pound range as based on the fish weight formula and other methods of estimating the weight of a big tuna. Sparks said that the most troublesome part of catching the fish was getting it out of the water and into the boat. He said that one of his guests came close to getting what would have been a serious injury from a gaff handle during the process of getting the fish over the side of the boat and onto the deck. Thank God there was no such injury to take away from the thrill of catching such an incredible bluefin tuna! Congratulations!



The fishing for a mix of yellowfin tuna, dorado, yellowtail and skipjack remains good to at times very good for boats fishing some of the local offshore banks outside of Los Coronado Islands.

The best areas have been the 371 Bank, the 425 Bank, the Upper Hidden Bank and the 390 Bank. Kelp paddies are providing most of the stops with sonar marks, meter marks, spots of breezing fish and an occasional trolling strike also leading to bait stops where the fish stay with the boat and are biting on sardines.

Most of the yellowfin tuna have been in the 10- to 20-pound range, most of the yellowtail have ranged from 4 to 12 pounds and most of the dorado have been in the 5- to 15-pound range.



Private boater Robert Serdoz of Lucky Charm reported about a recent trip to the 230 Spot, 371 Bank and 390 Bank where he found good fishing for a mix of yellowfin tuna, skipjack and yellowtail. His report was that he was

finding mostly yellowtail under the kelp paddies around the 230 Spot and that he started to locate kelp paddies holding yellowfin tuna and skipjack as he worked the area to the west of the 371 Bank and on down to the area between the 371 Bank and the 390 Bank. Serdoz reported finding his best stop while fishing between the 371 Bank and the 390 Bank at 34 miles 210 degrees from Point Loma.



Private boater Lee Fleming of Jawbreaker reported about fishing the area between the 371 Bank and 390 Bank where he found good mixed bag fishing for yellowfin tuna, dorado, skipjack and yellowtail. The fishing between the 371 Bank and 390 Bank was fun but the true highlight of the day came when they caught and released a marlin at the 9 Mile Bank while fishing their way back to Mission Bay. Fleming reported seeing a jumper marlin that led to a jig bite on a pink Moldcraft Wide Range marlin jig.

After a 20-minute battle, they were able to successfully release the striped marlin.

That was a nice way to top off the day!

Congratulations!



The marlin fishing has been good with very few boats out fishing but with some marlin reported to biting in a few different areas. The region of the 289 Spot inside of San Clemente Island has been productive for marlin while fishing between the 289 Spot and Pyramid Head at San Clemente Island and also while fishing the area 3 to 8 miles below the 289 Spot. Marlin activity has also been reported nearby in the region of the 181 Spot.

marlin within a recent fish count on the afternoon half day trip on the New Seaforth out of Seaforth Sportfishing.

The information I have is that the fish was caught while trolling for bonito out to the west of Mission Bay.



Capt. Maurice Smith of Dos Hermanos reported finding fun fishing for a mix of Dorado, yellowtail and yellowfin while fishing below and outside of the Coronado Islands in the region of the 425 Bank and the Upper Hidden Bank.

In addition to the yellowfin, dorado and yellowtail Smith said they also baited a sleeper marlin. Smith also passed along a report his brother, Chuck Smith of Sea Trek IV, caught and released a marlin that same day while fishing about halfway between the 289 Spot and the 138 Spot that is located on the Ridge. This puts you out at 39 miles 277 degrees from Point Loma. Captain Maurice Smith said his brother went to fish that area because of a recent report about Chris Lapham of Snooper having recently made a catch and of a marlin in that same sector.
