Quasi-judicial agency will also discuss the planting of palm trees at Alamitos Bay Marina.

By Parimal M. Rohit OXNARD—Poseidon Water might be fighting for its desalination future in Huntington Beach, but the corporation’s representatives will be in front of the California Coastal Commission for an entirely different matter on May 9: the restoration and conversion of a 90.9acre salt pond to tidal wetlands and 34.6-acrer Otay River floodplain site in San Diego.

The restoration project is actually part of Poseidon’s mitigation obligations, which are attached to the water company’s desalination plant in Carlsbad.

Coastal commissioners will also be weighing in on the state of palm trees near Alamitos Bay Marina in Long Beach. The city’s Public Works Department is specifically looking to relocate 60 palm trees and add 22 new mature palm trees along Marina Drive, in between Studebaker Road and Second Street. This stretch of Marina Drive parallels Alamitos Bay Marina.

Long Beach’s plan also includes tree trimming and the addition of 17 new canopy trees along Marina Drive.

Poseidon Carlsbad The introduction of a new desalination plant on the San Diego County coast came with certain concessions.

San Diego’s Otay River floodplain and Pond 15 sites could both be restored, courtesy of Poseidon. Both restoration projects are concessions for Poseidon’s Carlsbad desalination plant.

Restoring the Otay River estuary would allow the waterway to support a coastal salt marsh habitat.

An intertidal salt marsh and upland habitat areas would also be created at Pond 15, which is part of the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge in the southern reaches of the harbor.

Construction work would not take place during nesting season, which is between Feb. 15 and Sept. 30; the mitigation process began in 2010.

Four agencies would be involved with this proposed project: the Port of San Diego, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and State Water Resources Control Board.

“The proposed project would serve as mitigation for impacts to marine resources associated with operation of the Poseidon Carlsbad Desalination Plan,” Coastal Commission staff stated in a report to commissioners. “The proposed project provides sufficient restored wetland acreage to meet Poseidon’s mitigation requirements and

mitigate impacts to existing wetlands associated with the proposed project.”

Poseidon’s desalination plant uses estuarine water and entrains marine organisms.

Fire department, other agencies rescue runaway pontoon after it becomes stuck on Turner Shoal Dam 2C

COLUMBUS, NORTH CAROLINA—It’s not every day a runaway pontoon ends up dangling at the edge of a dam with uncertain peril looming.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—Boating season “officially” runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day, but let’s be honest, it’s almost always a good time to crank up your outboard, spread your sails or flip the ignition switch to ‘on’ in Southern California. There is no shortage of boating opportunities south of Santa Barbara and north of the U.S.-Mexico border in San Diego. It’s not all fun-under-the-sun, however.

Navatek II on the verge of going ‘extinct?’

Sacramento?

This Standing Watch column, to be fair, has broached this topic before, such as the “Who’s in charge of the future of boating and fishing” write-up published in March 2018. Other columns discussed transparency at harbor commission meetings and whether boaters had a voice on local city council boards. One strand we have yet to question or scrutinze, however, is the presence (or lack thereof) of a regional boating advocacy group.

Now there are several groups out there who represent boaters, be it in the realms of policymaking or on the day-to-day beats of the local community. Organizations such as the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and BoatUS regularly advocate for boaters on issues such as ethanol and outdoor recreation in Washington, D.C., for example. Recreational Boaters of California, or RBOC, has representatives strolling through the halls of Sacramento

HONOLULU—A boat briefly featured in the first few seconds of ‘Jurassic Park 2’ could be seeing its last days on the water, as the toll of mounting costs and gross neglect is becoming to great for anyone to bear.

Navatek II, a cruise yacht docked in Hawai’i, was recently impounded, according to Hawai’i News Now; the boat’s owner, according to the report, did not keep up with rent payments. The boat was last docked at Honolulu’s Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor, reportedly in disrepair.

Hawai’i News Now reported the boat was impounded “because its mainland owners owe $16,000 in mooring fees.”

The publication also reported Navatek II was featured in several Hollywood films – though none are listed in the article. The Log’s research revealed Navatek II was certainly featured in the opening sequence of ‘Jurassic Park 2,’ as the camera pans across the harbor and onto a beach, where a wealthy family is enjoying the surrounding environs.

It’s unclear what other films Navatek II was featured in, but she certainly made a name for herself with a handful of technological advances (at the time she was christened) and for serving

Navatek II Location: Condition: Built: Length: Capacity: Claim to Fame:

as brunch/sunset dinner cruise vessel.

Navatek built the now impounded vessel in 1989; Hawai’i News Now reported the company sold Navatek II more than 10 years ago. She was equipped with SWATH technology, a twin hull advancement allowing a boat to experience minimal affected by wave energy.

“It’s been largely out of commission since then and requires millions of dollars in repairs,” the article continued.

Royal Hawaiian Cruises reportedly used the boat in Maui and Kauai.

Navatek II is an all-aluminum boat and was reportedly built in Hawai’i in 1993; it stretched 85 feet in length and could hold 149 passengers.

Who knows what will become of Navatek II, now that she is impounded (and, as noted above, requires millions of dollars worth of repairs).

don’t fare well in captivity. Only a handful of harbor porpoises have been kept in captivity and they have not bred successfully.

When two vaquita were captured the adult female became highly distressed and was released. She swam rapidly away from the boat (rapid frantic swimming is a sign of distress in the delphinidae), then turned and swam back toward the boat and died in the arms of the veterinarians. The young vaquita was immediately released (fate unknown).

The best hope for the vaquita is first removal of the nets and Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is literally risking their lives in confrontations with the fishermen to remove the nets (this is NOT a traditional fishery and the fishermen moved there to pursue the totoaba). Contributions to SSCS can be directed to campaign Milagro which is the campaign working in the Gulf of

California.

Second, a NO GO marine reserve would SAVE the vaquita and ENHANCE the fisheries.

Finally, many of the totoaba bladders are shipped to China via San Francisco. Maybe Gavin Newsom can do something to help break the trade. There is a whistleblower program that congress has already FUNDED that provides rewards through the USFWS and other agencies. Maybe he could push them to implement the program?

Hope this helps. I’m posting a lot about this issue in the only forum I’m on consistently (democraticunderground) look for posts there and I’ll answer more questions if you have them.

Wilmington’s First Harbor, 1870

By Devon Warren-Kachelein WILMINGTON—This photo, taken in 1870, shows Wilmington Harbor and it’s nearly unrecognizable compared to how it looks today. A train powered by Los Angeles and San Pedro Railroad can be seen, which was relatively new at the time – Phineas Banning had recently completed the first railroad to the harbor in 1869.

Today, Wilmington has seen much change. Most notably, there are plans to bring Wilmington Waterfront Promenade, a $75 million open space including green space, outdoor classrooms and other natural elements to give residents a respite from the now industrialized city.

Standing Watch From page 6

who urge Senate and Assembly members to pass pro-boating or fishing bills.

Also on par with RBOC is the Marine Recreation Association (MRA), which organizes the annual California Boating Congress. MRA, like RBOC, mostly advocates for boaters on a broader, statewide level.

At the hyper local level there are (or were) organizations such as Dana Point Boaters Association and Long Beach Marina Boat Owners Association, which focuses on boating issues at a specific harbor or marina. (Long Beach Marina Boat Owners Association hasn’t posted on its Facebook page since 2012 and its website is currently down, so it’s unclear whether the organization is currently operational.)

But who is advocating for Southern California’s boaters at a regional level?

Is there anyone out there willing to take on a leadership role and promote boating? There are various corners of the marine industry complaining and whining about declining boating participation rates, but what is actually being done to get more people out on the water? A regional organization with strong leadership, it could be argued, is what’s necessary to spearhead a coordinated effort to have more people out on the water. It’s not like the current fragmented state of Southern California boating is accomplishing anything, after all.

Seasoned boaters who frequent the waters between San Diego and Santa Barbara might recall the existence of one Southern California Marine Association, or SCMA. The organization has promoted boating activities in the region and organized boat shows.

Yet the organization is no more – and nowhere in the Los Angeles-Orange County-San Diego metro is there a group advocating for regional boaters.

The proverbial $64,000 question, of course, is whether such a group is

needed in the first place. One could argue organizations such as RBOC and MRA are enough, as they have people who could just as well go to bat for Southern California and Northern California boaters, alike.

What do boaters in San Diego and Crescent City, on the other hand, have in common? A boater in Crescent City’s harbor probably isn’t concerned with the benefits of a tuna fish farm in San Diego Bay. High-end boaters at Fifth Avenue Landing, conversely, aren’t likely to be invested in Crescent City Harbor’s commercial fishery issues.

There are, however, matters similarly affecting Southern California’s various harbors and marinas, such as sea lions and regional sea level rise.

What if a regional organization could help coordinate a response to sea lion abatement for all 11 Southern California harbors (as opposed to a hodgepodge, harbor-by-harbor policy)?

A regional boating organization could also ensure Southern California boaters are properly represented in Sacramento (as opposed to being lumped together with Bay Area or Northern California boaters on statewide policy proposals). This organization could also promote or protect marine industry jobs, similar to what Marine Industries Association of South Florida does in the Miami area.

Perhaps a regional organization could promote marine businesses up and down the Southern California coast similar to what the San Diego Port Tenants Association accomplishes in America’s Finest City.

Southern California’s boaters, ultimately, could use a watchdog organization, an organized group who looks out for the collective interests of the region’s boaters. This organization could also promote boating, take a stab at addressing the questions many are asking about declining boating participation. Will anyone step up and lead the charge?

TAKE ACTION Southern California’s 11 recreational harbors – and the marinas living inside them – could benefit from the rebirth of an organization like SCMA. What would it take to coordinate a regional organization looking out for the needs of Southern California’s anglers, boaters and mariners?

rescue areas in the Central Mediterranean.

The Spanish government had blocked the rescue boats from sailing, fearing they would anger Mediterranean countries like Italy if they roam around the ocean looking for and picking up migrants.

Italy and Malta have argued that they cannot open their ports to humanitarian rescue ships because their activities off the coast of lawless Libya have encouraged human traffickers.

After nearly four months of legal back and forth, Aita Mari received the green light to sail to the Aegean Sea on Tuesday.

Daniel Rivas, a spokesperson for the Humanitarian Rescue Service group, said the ship carries medical and sanitary supplies to the camps on the islands of Lesbos and Chios.

A separate boat, Proactiva’s Open Arms, was scheduled to depart from Barcelona, with blankets and other supplies, the group’s founder Oscar Camps said.

Both have been told to stay away from off-coast search and rescue zones unless authorities ask them to participate in a specific operation to aid people in distress at sea.

They face fines from 300,000 to 900,000 Euros ($340,000 to $1 million) if they break those conditions.

Camps said his group would still conduct rescues if they find people in need.

“It’s our legal obligation to rescue people in the sea, if we come across them, we will do it,” he told Catalan television TV3.

A total of 407 people have died so far this year while crossing the Mediterranean to Europe this year, according to the IOM, the United Nations’ migration body.

Navy Awards Contract to Build Heavy Polar Icebreaker for USCG PASCAGOULA, Mississippi (LOG News Service)—A Mississippi shipyard won a $746 million contract April 23 to design and build the first of what could be three heavy polar icebreakers for the U.S. Coast Guard.

The U.S. Navy’s Naval Sea Systems Command awarded the contract to VT Halter Marine of Pascagoula, choosing Halter’s bid over two other finalists. Halter Senior Vice President Robert Socha said the award means the shipyard will hire up to 450 more employees, on top of the 400 it’s already adding to build four barracks barges for the U.S. Navy.

The Navy and the Coast Guard will jointly oversee design of the ship for expected delivery in 2024. The contract includes options for two more heavy icebreakers, which would bring its overall value to $1.94 billion.

The Coast Guard is calling the class of ships polar security cutters, an echo of the national security cutters that nearby Ingalls Shipbuilding has been constructing. The unit of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has said it would like to have up to six icebreakers, including three medium ones, saying it needs to compete with Russian and Chinese icebreakers.

The ships would replace the two icebreakers currently operated by the Coast Guard, the heavy icebreaker USCGC Polar Star and medium icebreaker USCGC Healy.

Polar Star entered service in 1976, while Healy was commissioned in 1999.

“This contract award marks an important step towards building the nation’s full complement of six polar icebreakers to

meet the unique mission demands that have emerged from increased commerce, tourism, research, and international activities in the Arctic and Antarctic,” Adm. Karl Schultz, the Coast Guard commandant, said.

U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, a Mississippi Republican who oversees the Coast Guard as chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, said in a statement.“The ships we build in Mississippi will help close the gap in our polar defense and ensure American mariners cannot be denied access to the Arctic region by our adversaries.”

The government of Singapore, through its Temasek Holdings investment firm, owns 51 percent of Singapore Technologies Engineering; that company owns Halter.

LOCAL California, average U.S. gas prices rise due to increase in crude oil costs CAMARILLO, California (AP)—The average U.S. price of regular-grade gasoline surged 13 cents a gallon (3.8 liters) in early April, to $2.91.

Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg of the Lundberg Survey says one of the reasons for the spike is an increase in crude oil costs.

Lundberg says prices at the pump have jumped 25 cents over the past month and 60 cents over the past 14 weeks.

The highest average price in the nation is $4.04 a gallon in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The lowest average is $2.45 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

The average price of diesel rose 4 cents from early April, to $3.14.

Trump administration hits pause button on offshore drilling New Interior Secretary said oil and gas exploration plans were thrown off course by a recent federal court ruling.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Pres. Donald J. Trump’s plan to explore new offshore drilling opportunities was indefinitely put on hold, according to the Department of Interior’s new leader.

The Interior Secretary, David Bernhardt, made the announcement as part of an interview with the Wall Street Journal; the article was published on April 25.

Bernhardt, who was recently sworn-in as Ryan Zinke’s successor as Trump’s Interior Secretary, said a recent federal court ruling in Alaska threw a monkey wrench into the Trump administration’s plans. The ruling stated only an act of Congress could reverse an Obama-era ban on offshore drilling activities in the Arctic.

Pursuing any plans for new offshore drilling in federal waters would have to be put on hold until what Bernhardt anticipates would be a lengthy appeals process is completed. The appeals process is likely “going to take a while,” Bernhardt added in his Wall Street Journal interview.

“By the time the court rules, that

Plans to pursue new offshore drilling opportunities was put on hold by the Interior Department, thanks to a recent federal court ruling in Alaska. The Trump administration will wait until the legal battle is drawn out before deciding whether to resume a plan to explore new oil and gas opportunities.

may be discombobulating to our plan,” Bernhardt told the Wall Street Journal in his first-ever press interview as Interior Secretary. “What I can definitely say is, I’m not at a point now where it’s an imminent thing.”

The delay – and this article emphasizes Bernhardt’s announcement does not mean Trump’s offshore drilling plans are on ice – was certainly welcomed by environmental groups. Emails sent to The Log by Environmental Entrepreneurs and Business Alliance for Protecting the Pacific Coast stated Trump and his administration should permanently scrap plans to pursue new offshore

drilling opportunities.

Also welcoming the pause in offshore drilling pursuits: the state of California. Lawmakers have been scrambling to block the Trump administration’s offshore drilling ambitions since the Interior Department announced it would pursue new oil and gas exploration opportunities.

Legislators drafted several resolutions stating California would not go along with any offshore drilling plans enacted by the Trump administration.

Zinke announced the administration’s plans to pursue new oil and gas opportunities on Jan. 4, 2018, stating the United States has a responsibility to

develop natural resources on our Outer Continental Shelf, where offshore drilling activities would be implemented.

“Responsibly developing our energy resources on the Outer Continental Shelf in a safe and well-regulated way is important to our economy and energy security, and it provides billions of dollars to fund the conservation of our coastlines, public lands and parks,” then Interior Secretary Zinke stated.

“Not all areas are appropriate for offshore drilling, and we will take that into consideration in the coming weeks.

The important thing is we strike the right balance to protect our coasts and people while still powering America and achieving American Energy Dominance.”

Policymakers and executive leaders in California, however, maintained any pursuit of offshore drilling in federal waters would ultimately harm the state’s long coastline. California banned offshore drilling in state waters after the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara.

Other states opposed Trump’s offshore drilling plans, as well.

Washington and Oregon mirrored California in opposing the Trump administration’s plan.

Florida, which also opposed the offshore drilling plan, was granted an exemption from the White House. The BP Deepwater Horizon incident off Florida’s Gulf Coast was credited as the primary reason for the White House calling off any offshore drilling opportunities in the southeastern-most corner of the United States. Deepwater Horizon, which occurred on April 20, 2010, is considered the largest oil spill ever.

Virginia was among the other states opposed to the Trump administration’s offshore drilling ambitions.

A few organizations are still hopeful the United States would resume offshore drilling opportunities on the Outer Continental Shelf, according to the Wall Street Journal’s April 25 interview with Bernhardt.

Oceana, in a separate report published one week ahead of Bernhardt’s Wall Street Journal interview, stated, “offshore drilling remains dirty and dangerous.” The report coincided with the nine-year anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon event, which killed 11 people.

“The U.S. oil and gas industry’s fatality rate (both onshore and offshore) was an average of seven times higher than among other U.S. workers in general between 2003 and 2013. At least 6,500 oil spills occurred in U.S. waters between 2007 and 2017, and a recent study found that spills are typically far larger than what is reported,” Oceana staff stated in a summary of its report. “Clean-up costs alone amounted to [more than] $14 billion in the years directly following the BP disaster.”

Oceana’s report added 1,568 people suffered injuries, between 2011 and 2017, during offshore drilling operations.

NMMA spearheads anti-ethanol campaign at EPA hearing

By Parimal M. Rohit NATIONWIDE—Plans to lift a nationwide restriction on summertime sales of 15 percent ethanol (E15) fuels met with some resistance on March 29, when several maritime industry leaders campaigned against the corn-based gasoline during a public field hearing hosted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Leading the charge was the National Marine Manufacturers Association, or NMMA, but representatives from Mercury Marine, Tiara Yachts, National Marine Lenders Association and Michigan Boating Industries Association were also on hand to testify against year-round sales of E15.

The EPA, at the direction of the White House, is currently considering a rulemaking to allow for year-round sales of E15 fuels. Gasoline blends with 15 percent ethanol are off the market between June 1 and Sept. 15, each year.

Marine industry continues to beat the drum of E15’s harmful effects; corn industry, meanwhile, says E15 is necessary to protect farmers and rural America.

South Dakota Ohio

A public hearing on the future of E15 gasoline blends saw marine industry officials voice their collective opposition to year-round availability of ethanol fuels. Will the EPA side with the Trump administration and allow for year-round sales of E15?

Kansas Wisconsin North Dakota Texas Michigan

Marine Industry Opposition

Missouri

NMMA’s senior vice president of government relations and legal affairs, Nicole Vasilaros, called the possibility of year-round sales of E15 fuels as “deeply troubling” and “based on questionable statutory authority.”

She added marine engines are not designed to consume E15 fuels and offering the gasoline blend year-round would be harmful to consumers.

“Marine engines are designed, calibrated, and certified by EPA to operate on blends of gasoline up to 10 percent ethanol by volume and federally prohibited from operating on E15,” Vasilaros said. “If finalized, this rulemaking would double down on failed government policy and increase the supply of a fuel harmful to millions of marine and other consumer products, during the height of the summer boating and recreation season.

“Additionally, it will continue to diminish consumer choice for ethanol free fuels, which are in high demand by many boaters and engine product consumers,” Vasilaros continued.

She added most boaters – 95 percent – are not in slips or marinas, meaning they’re filling up at roadside gas stations as a towed vessel.

“Labels alone have not done their job to educate consumers, and no wonder given the dismal and non-uniform state of labeling currently in practice,” Vasilaros said in her testimony. “Year-round sale will only further exacerbate consumer confusion and lack of awareness. EPA must do more … to protect consumers before and at the pump.”

California

the nation’s fuel supply is part of the Renewable Fuel Standard, or RFS. The RFS was enacted in 2005 to manage an expected increase in demand of gasoline by allowing for more biofuels to be available on the market – opening the door for ethanol or biodiesel to be available to consumers on a regular basis.

“To keep up with the RFS mandate and avoid hitting a ‘blend wall’ in which the volume of ethanol production exceeds consumption and infrastruc-

ture constraints, in 2010 EPA granted a waiver to allow E15 into the marketplace but limited its sales to colder months to protect air quality,” BoatUS staff stated in its anti-E15 email campaign.

Corn Industry Support Marine industry members opposed the proposal to allow year-round sales of E15 fuel blends in full force, but there See NMMA ETHANOL page 14

New York Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration En

BoatUS joined the chorus of marine industry organizations voicing opposition to year-round sales of E15 fuels.

A BoatUS email to its membership on April 16 called the proposed EPA action as “anti-environment, anti-consumer and a big nod to the ethanol lobby.”

“E15’s summertime ban was implemented years ago to address concerns over its contribution to ground level ozone (smog) on hot days,” the BoatUS email stated. “Because of the harm it causes, E15 is prohibited by federal law for use in recreational boat engines and voids many marine engine warranties.”

Also a major concern for boaters, according to the BoatUS email campaign: misfueling.

“BoatUS has long had concerns over potential consumer misfueling with E15,” BoatUS staff stated in its email.

“Most recreational boaters refuel their vessels at roadside gas stations where pump-labeling requirements are minimal. Just one small E15 orange warning label is the only protection currently in place for marine and other off-road engines.”

The BoatUS email earlier stated a recent survey revealed most boaters prefer ethanol-free gasoline.

City staff suggests further regulations to Senate Bill 946, but decide to keep conversations going until next meeting to pin down permit selection process.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein AVALON—For Avalon, the Sidewalk Vendor Bill, also known as SB 946, introduced by former Gov. Jerry Brown has proved to be a headache as city staff still grapples with how to properly regulate the new bill. Avalon City Council continued talks on introducing an ordinance for the bill, on April 2, to the city’s municipal code. Although the ordinance was meant to be read into law at the meeting, city staff decided to hold off until a future meeting to further craft a lottery or selection process for choosing vendors.

In January, city staff introduced some regulations for sidewalk vendors.

Currently, 24 applicants have submitted paperwork to hold a street vending permit under the previous regulations.

According to Dan Huncke, Community Services Director, about half the applications are for food services and the other half are for merchandise.

However, Avalon city staff has not yet approved any permit holders. The new regulations will be in effect for six months and could then be adjusted after the summer season.

Huncke gave a presentation on how the ordinance have been revised since: city staff decided to permit six vendors instead of 12 at any time; Livescan background checks will be removed; vending is prohibited from the mole on Front

Street; and, no vending is permitted adjacent to public beaches. Only one person can take out a permit per entity, which was added so that one person/ business cannot hold multiple permits at any given time. Huncke added some of the current applicants fall under the category, which means some applications would be combined or “fall off.”

Huncke also stated the cost for the annual permit will be $30, which is the same for street performers. While there is no fee schedule for street vending yet, it will be added into the fee schedule in next year’s fiscal budget.

City council members also recommended that vendors must actively use their carts four days a week for a minimum of 4 hours a day. SB 946 removes vending that interferes with public enjoyment of natural areas. In addition, no more than one vendor can operate per park; no vending in residential areas; no vending in entrances to buildings; no vending within 50 feet of other street vendors; no vending within 10 feet of public benches, picnic tables, etc.; and ,pushcarts cannot extend 8 feet long and 4 feet wide.

This new ordinance, when it is read into law, will amend Section 5-9.01(a) of Chapter 9 of Title 5 of the Avalon Municipal Code and will add Chapter 21 to Title 5, regulating sidewalk vending in compliance with SB 946.

“Personally for the city I would like to see more food vendors,” Mayor Ann Marshall said.

There was some discussion about assigning spaces for vendors. However, City Attorney, Scott Campbell, stated: “To get the city involved and allocate spaces would be a burden.”

Another issue was the lottery/selection process, which city council mem-

Avalon continues discussions on Sidewalk Vendor Bill regulations

Avalon’s welcoming street, known as Crescent Avenue or “Front Street,” may soon be seeing street vendors peddling food or merchandise. Some areas, such as privately owned locations, the Pleasure Pier, and other high-traffic entryways, will not be subject for vending according to an ordinance regulating Gov. Brown’s Street Vendor Bill, formally known as Senate Bill 946.

bers appeared lukewarm. Campbell proposed the lottery selection idea in hopes to account for “low-income/ immigrant” population the bill was passed in favor of, but city council felt they had to further discuss how that was defined.

Marshall stated that she felt imposing a lottery system on permit holders who operate food cards – an endeavor potentially costing between $20,00 and $35,000 to get off the ground legally – could potentially “kill a business.”

“Our hope is after the summer, or whatever you decide on tonight, when you adopt the ordinance that there is a 6 month period through the summer, that you see how it works – it’s an experiment.” Campbell said.

There were still a mixture of responses from those seeking to obtain a permit, from business owners and

some of the Island’s larger entities such as The Catalina Island Co. and Catalina Island Conservancy. Business owners were not too thrilled by the newly introduced competition.

It was also determined that street vendors could only operate on cityowned property such as sidewalks, but not in private parks, like Machine Gun Park, which is owned by Catalina Island Company. Catalina Fuel Dock would be an exception and could potentially solve the problem of limited eateries in that area, which council members have discussed at meetings before.

Overall, council members decided to continue the discussion on crafting the ordinance. Campbell agreed to further assess the parameters of a selection system, whether a lottery or first-comefirst-served basis, at the next meeting.

rior octane rating provides better engine performance,” Skor stated. “The value to our planet is equally compelling. E15 is a cleaner fuel that reduces evaporative emissions and greenhouse gas emissions. It replaces toxic fuel additives associated with cancer, asthma, and smog.”

Allowing ethanol fuel blends like E15 on the market year-round would largely benefit rural America, according to Skor.

“Eliminating this barrier promises to unlock an estimated 1.3 billion gallons of new annual ethanol demand. Over time, that added demand could grow to seven billion gallons, lending an economic lifeline to rural families,” Skor said in her testimony.

Indiana Corn Growers Association President Sarah Delbecq, like Skar, urged the EPA to implement year-round sales of E15 by June 1 for the benefit of rural farming communities.

“As agriculture sits squarely in the worst farm recession in decades, with farm income well below half of what it was only four years ago and trade relationships in disarray, the importance of the certainty offered by domestic demand from uses like ethanol is critical to the stability and longevity of

agriculture and rural America,” Delbecq stated in her testimony.

A vast majority of ethanol production within the United States is within the Midwest. Only three of the top 15 states (California, New York and Texas) to produce ethanol are outside of the upper Midwest.

Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois produce more than half of the country’s ethanol capacity.

The United States is the world’s largest producer of ethanol, according to the Renewable Fuels Association and Department of Energy’s Alternate Fuels Data Center. More than 15 billion gallons of ethanol fuel was produced in the United States in 2017, more than double of the next highest producer (Brazil, seven billion gallons in 2017). Europe (1.42 billion gallons as a continent), China (880 million gallons) and Canada (450 million gallons) rounded out the top five. All other countries combined to produce 1.45 billion gallons of ethanol fuel (in 2017).

The EPA’s March 29 public field hearing was held in Ypsilanti, Michigan, which is west of Detroit and east of Ann Arbor.

U.S. Coast Guard constructs new navigational aid in Oceanside Harbor

By Devon Warren-Kachelein OCEANSIDE—A navigational aid, also called aid to navigation or ATON, in Oceanside Harbor recently received a much needed update by the United States Coast Guard.

The work, which was completed from April 9-12, saw the Coast Guard fly in tools, equipment and materials to replace the navigational aid via helicopter.

Originally the Coast Guard had planned to use Camp Pendleton for operations, but the request was denied.

Instead, the equipment was flown to parking lot 12 at Harbor Beach. It was an impressive sight to watch the materials air-carried into the parking lot, according to staff at Oceanside Harbor.

ATONs are important tools installed by the Coast Guard; they help boaters and aviators mark their travels. Though most ATONs have a generic appearance, Newport Beach Harbor Commission recently held a presentation to discuss enhancing a local navigational aid to look like a classic lighthouse.

Construction on the new navigational aid in Oceanside has since been finished.

City Council formally adopts an ordinance to limit vessel anchoring near entrance of San Diego Bay.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SAN DIEGO—An ordinance aiming to restrict the amount of time a vessel could anchor at the top of San Diego Bay is finally on the books – ending a multiyear campaign to regulate boating activities in a portion of the harbor controlled by City Hall.

The ordinance, which amended San Diego’s Municipal Code to restrict open-water boat anchoring near Zuniga Jetty Shoal to two hours, was officially adopted on April 23; City Council members had initially adopted the ordinance at a prior meeting. Ordinances must be approved twice in order to become valid.

Abandoned vessels have become a substantial problem at Zuniga Jetty Shoal in recent times. At least 61 vessels

were abandoned in the area between November 2010 and September 2017, according to the U.S. Navy, which has a large presence in San Diego Bay. “These abandoned vessels pose a threat to the environment,” city staff stated in a report to council members.

“In some cases, there are hazardous materials on board that can spill into the ocean. The Navy shared several examples, including one vessel that broke apart and spilled 200 to 400 gallons of fuel into the water.”

City staff cited one case where the Navy’s cleanup of an abandoned boat incident cost $50,000. The U.S. Coast Guard stated an estimated $1 million has been spent on “oil/hazardous waste removal, contracted labor, equipment rentals, towing services, storage fees, demolitions and false alert search-andrescue cases.”

Zuniga Jetty Shoal is a shallow stretch of water near the entrance of San Diego Bay and located near Coronado’s North Island Naval Base.

“This area is exposed to wind, currents and swell from the open ocean.

Essex Marina City Club

With Capt. Nicole

A premier location in front of the Ritz Carlton and Marina City Club.

Stay back – and stay safe Story and photo by Capt. Nicole Sours Larson SAN DIEGO—We’ve all seen them: the stupid or ignorant boaters with an outsized sense of entitlement who think their right to watch a boating event close-up trumps participants’ right to safety and, potentially, even survival.

Every year Arv and I look at the many sailboat races and marvel at some boaters, usually on smallish speedboats, but sometimes on larger craft, who decide they need an intimate view of the action. They dart between and around event participants, even hugging their sterns, oblivious to any danger to a sailor fallen from a heeled-over vessel.

Speedy hydrofoils and other high-performance sailboats pose a particular risk, since a fast-moving boom can easily knock someone into the water. The victim might recover quickly and assist with the rescue. But what if that person suffers a serious injury from the boom, as happened to a friend’s son. (Incidentally, his body was never recovered.)

And if – as a colleague recently recounted – a motorboat operator trails a racing hydrofoil or sailboat too closely and a sailor tumbles into the water, he’s vulnerable to being run over.

This happens frequently in other races and maritime events, whether

on drugs? Controlling the boat, in such a circumstance, would both difficult and illegal.

So what’s a responsible boating observer to do?

Stay back at least 100 feet from any boat on the water, unless you’re engaged as a support vessel – and be vigilant. Then if someone falls or is knocked off a vessel you’ll have space and time to react and even be able to assist with a rescue.

It’s especially critical to stay well away – at least 100-200 feet – from swim zones and be alert for fallen water skiers in water ski areas. Too often on Mission Bay we’ve observed downed skiers almost run over by speeding powerboats and personal watercraft because inattentive operators aren’t watching for people in the water or any other hazards.

California boat regulations regarding speed are clear – “the maximum speed for motorboats within 100 feet of a bather (but not a water skier) and within 200 feet of a bathing beach, swimming float, diving platform or lifeline” or passenger or boat landing is 5 mph.

Always be careful to limit speed and avoid weaving between boats in anchorages. One of my least pleasant boating memories is being anchored in a quiet cove on the Chesapeake Bay when several yahoos on PWCs buzzed

local yacht club sailing regattas, Beer Can Races, America’s Cup trials, Festival of Sail parades or even the Parade of Lights.

Every year, as we watch the Parade of Lights on San Diego Bay, we see boaters pushing within the parade route perimeter. Parade volunteers and harbor police chase the offending boats away.

Invariably some creep back, while others, usually small motorboats but also kayaks, decide to “join” the parade by tailing parade participants too closely.

What makes this more dangerous is it’s always dark during the Parade of Lights, making collisions potentially more hazardous. What if these looky-loo operators happen to also be drunk or high

us repeatedly, setting our boat rocking and disrupting our planned quiet meal.

Eventually we just hoisted anchor and departed to escape the harassment.

Because our boat throws a large wake, even at relatively low speeds, we also attract wake-jumpers who come frighteningly close to our boat. We always slow down to discourage them.

Neither of us wants an erratically operated PWC to ram us.

With prime summer boating season fast approaching, be sure to remind your family and crew to stay alert and maintain safe distances from other vessels and swimmers to ensure everyone remains safe all season.

Peña, who provided Ventura Port District with more than 20 Love for California & Rise to years of service, will serve out Ventura Port District’s General his term as general manager on Manager April 30, and will accept shortPeña, a native of San Antonio, Texas, term employment to wrap up makes no qualms about his love for ends until July.

California.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

VENTURA—Longtime general manger of Ventura’s Port District, Oscar Peña is retiring from his position this year. Peña was at the helm of Ventura Harbor for more than 20 years.

Ventura City Council member Jim Friedman, who served as harbor commissioner until last year, once said, “Everyone knows Oscar,” attesting to the respect and knowledge Peña has gained over the years. Peña’s shoes will be hard to fill, but Brian Pendleton, who is a leader in the aquaculture industry, will succeed the retiring veteran as the port district’s general manager if he is confirmed.

The Log had a conversation with Peña to discuss his victories, challenges and his plans for retirement.

Peña’s Retirement Plan & Personal Tragedy Some sources appeared to be contradictory as to whether Peña was retiring or continuing to work for Port of Ventura in another capacity down the line, but with a chuckle Peña clears up those rumors.

“No, I’ll tell you what the deal was,” said Peña.

“Our family lost our house in the Thomas Fire. I’ve been prepared to retire at the end of April, which is when my [tenure] expires … I want to be helpful, but I don’t want to be in the way.”

As a kind of loophole to finish transitioning and training Brian Pendleton, who, if all goes according to plan, is positioned as the next general manager, Peña will take a vacant position as business manager at the port district for training purposes sometime in July. His contract as general manager expires on April 30.

“What we’ve talked about in the CalPERS doesn’t allow me to become a consultant directly after my retirement,” said Peña. “There’s a regulation that says I have to wait six months.

And so to work around that, I’m going to take a vacant position that’s the Business Operations Manager position and continue to be an employee of the Port District to assist with the transition plan; I just won’t be the general manager.

“This temporary employment is to help in the transition phase and after that I’ll be able to enjoy my retirement,” Peña continued. “I’m hoping that by the end of July I’ll be on my way. I love the harbor and I love the places I work, so I think for a short period I’ll just be here to help the commissioners and the new general manager.”

“You know what, I have my family a brother and two sisters who still live in San Antonio and I go there maybe once a year to visit, but, you know, I can’t say I miss it. I’m glad I live in California,” said Peña.

Peña studied political science while at college in San Diego, where he ended up finding a little more than an education. While in San Diego he met his wife and a romance ensued. They lived in Texas afterwards for a few years until they could find their way back.

“Even though it was just a college romance, we ended up getting married after we graduated. I actually went back to San Antonio and graduated from Trinity University,” said Peña. “I will tell you just going to college in San Diego for the first two years, it really drew me to the state of California.”

Though Peña and his wife returned to Texas, it was always their intention to return.

“Living by the ocean has always been one of our dreams and we found a seaside town that fits perfectly for us.”

Quite knowledgeable in the commercial real estate industry (with around 40 years of experience in that market), Peña earned his position after beginning as a consultant. One of Peña’s major accomplishments was taking over Ventura Harbor Village, which 20 years ago was in a pretty sorry state.

“I got real lucky, because at one point the Port was in bankruptcy at about the time I was hired as a consultant for managing Ventura Harbor Village,” Peña said. “I was able to turn Ventura Harbor Village around. It had a lot of vacancies when I came in – not that we ever got to 100 percent occupancy there, but the tenant relations improved, we had very effective marketing and promotions that helped attract visitors to Harbor Village, which was really needed at the time.”

To date, Ventura Port District holds 96 percent of occupancy of tenants at Ventura Harbor Village and even after a hit from the recession, Peña seems glad he snatched up the opportunity.

“I think after the commissioners saw that I was able to turn Harbor Village around successfully, there was an opportunity to consider me as the general manager. At that time I owned my own management company and they approached me and asked if I would consider becoming general manager and I accepted,” Peña continued.

Growth in Ventura Ventura, which is basically the gateway to some of California’s most scenic places such as Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Big Sur, has not always seen its share of love. Peña, however, pin-

points a few areas Ventura is a destination worth the stop for tourists.

As is the case for many smaller towns – for instance, Dana Point not wanting to be Newport Beach after its revitalization – Peña says local Venturans do not want to be the new Marina del Rey. Coastal Californians oftentimes have strong opinions about their identities in comparison to other neighboring towns.

After working with the commercial fishing industry through his position, Peña is hopeful for the aquaculture industry to take off in Ventura and keep their dredging needs funded.

“I think what he’s After retirement, Peña will focus on rebuilding his home, which was lost in the Thomas Fires, and volunteering efforts/traveling. Peña has been [Brian Pendelton] been the general manager of Ventura Harbor for 27 years. involved in is the aquaculture project in federal waters.

they have and what the timeline will be.

And I think especially developing in a harbor or beach area like this adjacent to a national park is challenging. From an investment perspective they were probably looking for low hanging fruit that might be a better investment for them. They decided trying to develop something in a beach area might take too long.”

Peña does not seem to have any hard feelings, though, as Holiday Inn Express will be opening more rooms in June and the ground lease provided an opportunity for the harbor.

Of all the projects on tap, Peña’s especially excited for the fisherman storage facility, which is a one-of-a-kind development in the area

Peña’s Next Steps in the Community Upon entering into retirement, Peña also has a list of interests that stretch into volunteering for various nonprofits and staying involved in the community, spending more time with family and traveling.

“I have three children, so for the most part [Ventura] has been their home for the majority of their life so I have a daughter who is married and lives in Ventura, another daughter who is going to Ventura College, and then I have a special needs daughter and so she’ll be with my wife and I for a long time,” Peña said.

Sadly, Peña is afraid his college-aged daughter may not be able to stay in the area due to climbing housing prices and hope he can do address the housing crisis.

“I’m ready to shift gears,” says Peña.

“I want to remain active in the community. I want to benefit other groups that I believe I be helpful to by advocating for

them. I think that’s really the next step for me. I’ve been successful as a general manager for the Port District and I think there are some skill sets that could benefit nonprofit organizations.”

Peña adds of his nonprofit interests: “Specifically with my daughter The Arc of Ventura. They are funded through the state through tri-county regional centers. I would like to help that organization, because my daughter is part of that system and I think that’s important.

There are other groups that I might volunteer for. When our house burned down, I’ll tell you, the Red Cross was right there for us and other members of the community.”

As far as boating goes, Peña learned long ago it’s more fun to have boater friends. Peña is also an avid kayaker.

“I have actually owned a couple of sailboats and they require quite a bit of maintenance, which I didn’t take advantage of, so we sold them. I always said it’s much nicer to have friends who own a boat than to own your own. I have friends in the harbor who invite us out on their boats and I think that is something we have enjoyed, not only for their company, but it’s also a lot easier.”

Peña, on the other hand, is ready to retire. After his home was destroyed in the Thomas Fires, that was a hit that pushed him to make the decision.

“It’s hard to rebuild a house when you have a full-time job,” said Peña.

Fortunately, he and his family members survived the fire, but it has been a long time planning with an architect to rebuild it.

Peña has one simple request for the community and his successors.

“It’s not a difficult ask,” Peña says.

“I think they have to continue enjoying the harbor and enjoying the assets that really make this community what it is.

It’s creating memories in the harbor that will last a lifetime.”

Trader Joe’s finally opens in Marina del Rey

By Parimal M. Rohit

MARINA DEL REY—The delays just kept on coming, one after another … but the Marina del Rey Trader Joe’s, as of April 19, is finally open for business. Trader Joe’s in Marina del Rey was initially scheduled to open on April 12, but the store’s headquarters announced the grand opening was delayed to a date later in the month. An April 19 opening was finally announced – a couple hours before midday on April 18.

Chatter of a Trader Joe’s on the Marina del Rey waterfront goes as far back as 2015, when plans to redevelop Pier 44 began to take shape.

Plans hinted at the waterfront Trader

Joe’s including a dock, specifically for boaters who want to shop at the store from the water (as opposed to dealing with traffic and parking issues on land).

This photo, taken shortly after the store opened on April 19, shows work is still underway on portions of Pier 44.

Behind the blue fence on the left side of the photo is the store’s waterfront, where boaters would tie up if a dock were indeed installed. The fencing certainly indicates waterside access, at least for now, won’t be available. The Log will monitor the progress of Pier 44’s redevelopment and report on when (or whether) Trader Joe’s will have a dock for boaters to access the store from the water.

Newport’s popular restaurant 3-Thirty-3 Waterfront will re-open as Tavern House in late summer

Harbor Commission Harbor Tour, Commissioner John Drayton stated that Lido Marina Village in particular had been remodeled to provide a prime experience for boaters to dock in the area and then dine and shop. 3-Thirty3, on the other hand, is situated in Newport Bay, a solid boating location, especially for the annual (and one of California’s oldest) boating parades.

Wilhelm did not comment on how the transition is taking place in terms of handing off ownership. According to the website, Jeff Reuter, the restaurant’s owner until Wilhelm takes over, “had a vision for an adult clubhouse of sorts, where his friends and family could come to relax and socialize in a casual, yet elegant atmosphere.”

3-Thirty-3, which is a reference to the address number, is located at 333 Bayside Drive in Newport Beach. For more information about the restaurant, visit the website at 3thirty3waterfront. com.

Round-the-clock coverage, which will see harbor patrol officers working 12-hour shifts, will start as a trial run in the harbor on June 5.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

VENTURA—Harbormaster John Higgins reported to Ventura Board of Port Commissioners on April 3 to give a presentation about implementing a new program to place harbor patrol officers on the field at all times. Higgins, who earlier in April was attending the Pacific Congress of Harbormasters and Port Captains Conference in Newport, Oregon, filled in The Log on the strategy to bring a round-the-clock harbor patrol to fruition.

“My presentation was verbal and gave a very broad overall reason for selecting the 12-hour shifts to incorporate as a trial,” Higgins said in an email to The Log. Ventura Harbor Patrol will face the biggest obstacle in reaching 24-hour coverage due to the small staff, according to Higgins.

“When we looked at the different

options 8-, 10- and 12-hour shifts, all of them required us to hire additional personnel. The 12-hour shifts allowed for us to accomplish an enhanced coverage with the hiring of two additional full-time employees and using our existing part-time staff to cover the gaps. Our goal throughout the process was to identify a coverage plan that was efficient and met the needs of both the community and our staff. We felt we were able to accomplish this best with the 12-hour shifts.”

While determining which schedule was best, Higgins Using a study by American Academy of Sleep, Ventura Port District’s staff determined 12-hour shifts for harbor patrol cited staff had used an artistaff would be best for a trial run of 24-hour coverage.

The nonprofit organization, in need of raising $36,000 and operating from a verbal month-to-month lease, met with harbor commissioners to devise ways to survive hard times.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

REDONDO BEACH—It is hard to conceive of a local environmental nonprofit organization in Southern California struggling to survive, yet SEA Lab of Redondo Beach is currently between a rock and a hard place.

Annually, the SEA Lab program, which is connected with L.A. Conservation Corps, serves more than 12,000 students, but between funding and the possibility of losing their lease, its future looks uncertain.

SEA Lab, which largely serves to educate students about California’s rich coastal environment, currently provides homes for more than 1,000 fish and marine species. Due to issues raising funds, SEA Lab has been forced to lay off one full-time staff member, reduce a part-time staff member’s hours, have halved their L.A. Conservation Corps members from

12 to six, and can no longer remain open during the week. Additionally, SEA Lab raised the cost of students on field trips from $5 to $7. SEA Lab, according to a Redondo Beach Harbor Commission staff report, is losing between $5,000 and $6,000 a month and needs to raise approximately $36,000 for the first six months of the year.

On March 1, the Redondo Beach Harbor Commission received a dire report from SEA Lab representative, Marina Madrigal, about the state of the organization. The staff report reads, “Their main challenge is that they have Staff at the SEA Lab cleans a lobster tank, which are among the many marine creatures housed here.

Catalina Connection

By Parimal M. Rohit

AVALON—The Chicago Cubs celebrated its first World Series win in more than a century in 2016, ending a 108-year championship drought in a hard-fought seven-gamer versus the Cleveland Indians (who now own the longest championship drought in baseball). One of the sub-cultures of Cubs baseball gained significant attention during the South Siders’ historic run: Raising The W. Every Cubs win was followed by the raising of a rectangular blue flag with white trim and block letter ‘W’ (also white). The use of ‘W’ in sports signifies ‘win.’ But did you know this flag actually traces its roots to Catalina Island, where the Cubs, for a few decades, held its annual Spring Training seasons?

The Catalina Chamber recently shared a photo of the ‘W’ flag on its Instagram page, with a caption explaining its history and connection to the island.

“William Wrigley, Jr. purchased the Santa Catalina Island Co. and the Wilmington Transportation Co. in 1919

from the Banning Brothers. The ‘W’ flag was originally flown around Catalina Island and Wrigley Field as an indication of the Wilmington Transportation Co.,” Catalina Island’s Chamber of Commerce social media team stated on the Instagram post.

“Over time, the ‘W’ was raised at Wrigley Field to indicate a “Win” for the Chicago Cubs,” the post continued. “Though the Wilmington Co. no longer exists, the ‘W’ is still flown and is symbolic of Catalina’s connection to Wrigley Field, the Chicago Cubs and the Wrigley family.”

The Cubs franchise held its Spring Training seasons on Catalina Island from 1920 to 1952 (although the Cubs played its preseason games on the mainland during World War II, when the island was used as a lookout station and training grounds).

Cubs’ ownership moved its Spring Training operations to Mesa, Arizona, where the South Siders still play to this day.

Sailing Sailing Team China practiced for its SailGP race (May 4-5 in San Francisco) on an AC 45 in Long Beach, April 18. Could the Los Angeles/Orange County area be a destination for international sailing competitions?

N2E: Rookie wins Newport to Ensenada and an AC 45 spotted in Long Beach

By Parimal M. Rohit

ENSENADA, Mexico—An international yacht race featuring a 92-year-old skipper and a sailing team whose average age was 67.5 was ultimately headlined by youth, courtesy of a first-time captain won the best overall elapsed time at one of the popular yachting events in Southern California and Northern Mexico.

Alive, an Australian-based Reichel Pugh 66, was the talk of the 72nd running of the Newport to Ensenada International Yacht Race, what with the sailboat taking home the Newport Ocean Sailing Association (NOSA) Trophy for best overall elapsed time, Amigo Trophy for first time skipper and Lahaina Yacht Club Trophy for best elapsed time, all PHRF. Crewing Alive were Duncan Hine (first-time skipper), a Dutch navigator, Italian bowman and others from Australia and New Zealand. Alive, which races out of Brisbane, Australia and is registered to Derwent Sailing Squadron of Tasmania, also won the most recent Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race; the sailboat is owned by Phil Turner.

Other boats celebrated for their respective performances at this year’s Newport to Ensenada Race were David Nelson’s ID35 Kite 35 and Terri Manock’s Pole Dancer.

Pole Dancer featured an all-female crew - with only one crewmember from the United States (others hailed from Canada, Ireland and New Zealand).

Manock’s crew walked away with the Caroline Starr Trophy for Best Corrected Female Crew and Carlos Avila Escoto Best Corrected J120.

Also winning trophies were: • Seahorse, Seretary of Foreign Relations Mexico Trophy for Best Elapsed Time (Cruz) • Problem Child, Volvo Best Corrected - Double

Handed • Ohana, Cliff Chapman Best Corrected - PHRF B. Visit the Newport to Ensenada website for a complete list of winners.

AC 45 in Long Beach Anyone navigating the waters between Long Beach Harbor and Alamitos Bay Marina in mid-April certainly noticed the 800-pound gorilla: an AC 45 sailboat foiling about, making its way around the oil islands and hitting high speeds just inside the Middle Breakwater.

Team China had rented the AC 45 to conduct a few practice runs ahead of the SailGP race – Round 2 of which takes place in San Francisco, May 4-5.

Is there a possibility we could soon see sailing catamarans actually competing here in Southern California (as opposed to practicing for a race elsewhere)? Team China›s presence here in mid-April could well be an isolated event. The practice run, however, could also be used to demonstrate Southern California features ideal conditions for international foiling events, such as SailGP. Whether competitive foiling actually does arrive in Southern California remains to be seen. Perhaps, in the interim, we’ll see more vessels like the AC 45 running about, as this year’s sailing calendar plays out.

First-time skipper wins top awards in Ensenada; AC 45 practice run in Long Beach might bring more sailing to SoCal?

Luke Watkins accepts three trophies for Alive, which was the top winner at this year’s Newport to Ensenada International Yacht Race.

The sailing team, on a separate note, graciously allowed The Log to board the vessel during one of the practice runs.

North Sails offers free seminar on offshore sailing SAN DIEGO (LOG NEWS SERVICE)—Preplanning, according to the experts, is a must for anyone heading out into open waters. And especially when racing offshore sailors have to be prepared for anything and everything. What you have done to be prepared, they say, is what would be essential to the success of your voyage and the safety of those onboard.

To help in your planning North Sails is offering an Offshore Performance Seminar, a free seminar on what the experts do to prepare for an offshore adventure.

Entries are beginning to trickle in for next year’s Tahiti Transpac race, which starts on May 28, 2020.

Organizers issued a Notice of Race, inviting seaworthy monohulls of 30 feet (or larger) and offshore multihulls to apply for an invitation to compete.

Notice of Race issued for 2020 Transpac Race from Los Angeles to Tahiti LOS ANGELES (LOG NEWS SERVICE)—Even though still more than one year away, race officials said excitement is building for the 16th edition of the Transpac Tahiti Race 2020, which starts on May 28, 2020.

Already five entries representing a broad range of boat types have signed on to compete in the 3,570-mile voyage from Los Angeles to Papeete, Tahiti first sailed in 1925.

With this strong initial interest, organizers from the Transpacific Yacht Club have issued a Notice of Race that invites seaworthy monohulls of any length more than 30 feet and offshore multihulls of any size to apply for an invitation to compete. The Notice of Race is posted on the Yacht Scoring website and Pre-Registration is open.

The first entry in this cycle of the race, last run in 2012, is Matt Brooks’ 53-foot S&S-designed ketch Dorado.

Perpetual trophies will be awarded to the winners; skipper and crew of boats finishing in first, second or third place will be awarded series prizes.

“Masters Division and Grand Masters Division prizes will be awarded to the skipper and crew finishing 1st through 3rd place in the series for Masters aged 50 through 59, and Grand Masters aged 60 or over before the start of the first race. Competitors in the Masters and Grand Masters Divisions will also compete for series prizes,” according to the Notice of Race.

Southern California fishing news

Fish and Game Commission tackles Dungeness crab fishery settlement Agreement between fisheries and environmental groups aims to prevent new whale and sea turtle entanglements.

SANTA MONICA—A tenuous alliance of environmentalists and commercial fishermen appears to be holding steady, all in the name of preventing entanglements of whales and sea turtles off the California coast.

The Center for Biological Diversity, Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Association and California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) are working together to prevent future whale and sea turtle entanglements, which experienced an uptick in 2015.

The entanglements were apparently associated with California’s Dungeness crab fishery.

By Parimal M. Rohit

The Dungeness crab fishery and environmentalists have been working together to figure out how to avoid entanglements of whales and sea turtles off the California coast.

DFW Director Chuck Bonham discussed the recent entanglements and settlement agreement at the April 17 Fish and Game Commission meeting.

OXNARD—Simi Valley angler Brian Hardt (right) lays down on the deck of New Hustler (out of Hook’s Landing in Oxnard), covered in fish. Capt. Chris Volaski took Hardt and others to do some outer island fishing on April 20, and the anglers aboard had limits of white sea bass. Hardt, himself, reeled in a 31-pound white sea bass during the fishing excursion.

The New Hustler overnight charter had 24 anglers aboard on April 20 who reeled in 200 rockfish, 80 whitefish and eight lingcod, plus white sea bass, sheephead and cabezon.

Three boats out of Hook’s Landing would ultimately bring 456 rockfish, 191 whitefish, 18 lingcod, 19 sheephead, four white sea bass, two Calico bass, one cabezon and one sculpin back to shore.

Hook’s Landing photo

Security Blanket?

“Crabs are a big deal in California,” Bonham told commissioners. “They’re one of our oldest and most lucrative commercial fisheries. It’s also the case whales are a big deal.”

He added much of what we’re experiencing with increased whale populations – which translated into a sudden uptick in entanglements - is the literal result of climate change.

“What was really going on [in 2015 and 2016] was California and our affected communities really experiencing the literal impacts from climate change,” Bonham said.

Much of the Pacific Ocean experienced an increase in water temperatures a few years ago, which resulted in marine life being found in places where they otherwise wouldn’t be spotted.

“Those increase in water temperatures changed the abundance and location of what the whales eat,” Bonham said. “So the predator, the whale, was chasing its prey – which is small fish, krill – and those small fish moved closer to shore. The whales chased them.”

Bonham added the settlement agreement featured quite a bit of give and take, which each party in the settlement probably giving up a little more than they were comfortable sacrificing - but the final terms would allow California to be ahead of the curve in addressing whale entanglements.

“It hasn’t been easy. I don’t think it’s going to get any easier,” Bonham said. “But I do think it’s emblematic of California of trying to be ahead of the curve, trying to be progressive, trying to be climate resilient, trying to make sure we can keep our local fishing communities thriving and reduce entanglements of whales.”

California’s waters serves as a home to one of the most productive ecosystems in the world, according to Bonham. He added there is also an expectation amongst many Californians to protect our oceans.

DFW was sued by the Center for Biological Diversity in October 2017; the lawsuit stated the department, in a blog post about the recent settlement agreement, was liable for “a drastic increase in the number of whale entanglements off the West Coast.”

The settlement agreement, which was entered into on March 28, “protects whales and sea turtles from entanglement in commercial Dungeness crab gear,” according to DFW’s blog post on the legal resolution.

“The settlement, subject to court approval, creates a comprehensive approach to the problem of whale entanglements,” the blog post continued. “It expedites state regulation, ensures stakeholder input from the Dungeness crab Fishing Gear Working Group and formalizes a first-ever commitment by CDFW to pursue a federal permit for protecting endangered species. While these steps are executed, the settlement calls for this year’s crab season to end three months early and prescribes protective measures for future springtime fishing seasons, when the greatest number of whales are present off the California coast.”

A discussion of the settlement agreement is expected to continue in the commission’s Marine Resources Committee. Part of the conversation will focus on what manner the settlement agreement would regulate the recreational crab fishery, if at all.

Further details of the settlement agreement will be fleshed out in upcoming coverage, here in FishRap and The Log.

SACRAMENTO—The latest attempt to establish a 12-month fishing license bill was recently placed on the suspense file by California’s Assembly Appropriations Committee.

TIGHT LINES — By Parimal M. Rohit

NOAA seeks endangered designation for summer-run steelhead WASHINGTON, D.C.—The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have filed a request to list the Northern California summer-run steelhead as an “endangered distinct population segment” under the Endangered Species Act. NMFS submitted its 90-day petition to review the summer-run steelhead species. Anyone seeking to submit commercial or scientific information on the species should send materials to NMFS or NOAA by June 21. The petition will ultimately be used to determine whether the summer-run steelhead should be designated as endangered.

Summer-run and winter-run steelheads are both lumped together as an endangered distinct population

segment (DPS), but NOAA now states the steelhead populations should be separated. “[NOAA] presents new genetic evidence to suggest the summer-run steelhead populations may qualify as a separate DPS from the winter-run populations,” the Federal Register notice stated. “[NOAA] contends the findings from recently published articles on the evolutionary basis of premature migration in Pacific salmon … indicate that summer-run steelhead in the [Northern California] steelhead DPS should be considered a separate DPS.” Contact Gary Rule, NMFS West Coast Region, at gary.rule@noaa.gov, 503-2305424 or Heather Austin, NMFS Office of Protected Resources, at heather.austin@ noaa.gov, 301-427-8422, for questions or more information.

Anglers at Bridgeport Reservoir and June Lake Loop show off their trout catches (bottom two photos) while Mammoth Lakes and Mono County officials snapped wide landscape photos, capturing the overall scenery of Opening Day (which was on April 27). Eastern Sierra’s trout opener is known as “Fishmas” amongst those who actively participate in the annual event.

Anglers can catch and keep as many as five trout at Mono County lakes, though individual waterways have their own regulations. More than 170,000 trout have been planted by California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife at Eastern Sierra lakes, according to reports.

Bishop and Bridgeport are the top destinations for Fishmas anglers.
