The Armstrongs respond with a scathing letter of discontent.

By Nina K. Jussila AVALON — Avalon City Council received three new proposals for a fuel dock café and a letter from the former Casino Dock Café owners, Russell and Jenny Armstrong.

The City Council discussed the proposals asking some questions to the three parties involved at the Oct. 17 meeting, but made no decision to move forward on any one proposal.

Will this play out similar to what the Armstrongs went through?

The city issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on Sept. 8 after the City Council dismissed further negotiations with the Armstrongs at the Sept. 5 council meeting.

The letter was read aloud to the council prior to discussing the three proposals. The Armstrongs chose to not attend the city council meeting and explained why in their letter.

“After much consideration, we have decided not to attend tonight’s council meeting to possibly engage in more futile discussions with the city with regard to the Casino Dock Café lease and/or be present to watch the council hand our business over to another entity,” the Armstrongs’ letter stated.

“We [nevertheless] want to state

publicly that we have found the process of attempting to negotiate a reasonable lease with the city of Avalon to be exhausting, confusing and endlessly frustrating and we have been amazed over and over again at the ineptitude and lack of leadership we have seen and experienced,” the letter continued.

The letter also accused the council of being “unethical” by the unwillingness to negotiate and attempt at obtaining more bidders by saying the Armstrongs are “out of the picture.”

Council members had no comments following the reading of the letter.

They were silent for a moment before moving on to discuss the proposals.

Three proposals were submitted by other parties by the Oct. 6 deadline.

Two out of the three responses proposed a container restaurant concept.

“I’m assuming people might have some qualms about the container thing just because of the industrial look of it, but our hopes and dreams are not to be industrial like that. We could easily work with the city to create either a stucco façade on the container just to blend it in more with what is currently there,” said Megan Wright, who purchased Café Metrople in June 2016.

Wright said she chose to work with Howard CDM on this project, because he has extensive experience with container restaurants.

The container concept allows the project to be completed sooner and be

more affordable, according to Wright.

The budget for this project is $650,000 with plans to be open by July 2018 and stay open year round.

Another container restaurant concept was proposed by the owners of Island Caterers, Elizabeth and Gregory Wenger.

Jessica Herzog spoke at the council meeting on behalf of the Wenger’s, because they were working a catered event.

Herzog emphasized they are small business owners, like the Armstrongs.

They project to be open by mid-late spring and would stay open year round, if needed, to cater to the boaters and divers.

“We are looking at a maximum build out of about $300,000 and that would be for everything including the rooftop deck,” Herzog stated.

A third proposal, submitted by Richard Staunton, Jim Ulcickas and Caleb Lins, offers a casual food facility with a $950,000 budget.

Caleb Lins is a business owner of Lobster Trap. Staunton and Ulcickas are principles of Bluewater Avalon.

They project the cafe to be completed by September 2018 and request to be open for eight months with the option of being year round based on demand.

Step back in time in Skagway Danny and Gail Alexander left their 48-foot Californian behind in San Diego to cruise the inner passage of Alaska on a much bigger ship.

They made a stop in Skagway with The Log in hand. The Port of Skagway can be quite windy and rainy, but Danny Alexander said they had great weather and incredible scenery. The port is walking distance to the quaint downtown shops and the Yukon Railroad. Skagway is recognized as the place where gold was unearthed in the 1800s, known as the Klondike Gold Rush.

fall rendezvous, The Decatur Daily reported. The five-day meetings included sessions about various marinas along the loop and advice from experienced loopers.

Huntsville couple Liz and Bob Staggs set sail in their 34-foot long, 17-foot wide catamaran from Joe Wheeler State Park in 2006 and spent a year traveling the Great Loop.

“We thought we had a rich and full life before – and we did. We were very active in our community, but doing the Great Loop – it was a life-changer,” Liz Staggs said.

Since that voyage, the Staggs have made trips through canals in France and Canada.

“We always traveled, but after doing the loop, it put our wanderlust on steroids,” Liz Staggs said.

They spoke at this week’s fall rendezvous at Joe Wheeler State Park in Rogersville.

“I just feel like it’s our time to give back to others in the association,” Liz Staggs said.

Larry and Cindy Kreissler stopped at Joe Wheeler for the rendezvous on their way south to Fort Myers, Florida, from their home near St. Louis.

The Kreisslers finished the Great Loop in 2013, and are still involved in the association.

Larry Kreissler enjoyed boating, but completing the Great Loop became first on his bucket list, after reuniting with a friend from high school, he said.

In the spirit of the goal, the couple named their 40-foot cruiser Bucket List.

The boat carried them on the entire loop, including the Bahamas, the Exumas, Key West, the Berry Islands and Miami – about a 7,000-mile trip, he said.

Elvis house and boat up for auction TUPELO, Miss. (AP) — Years before Elvis Presley became the King of Rock and Roll, the story goes, he lived in a small house up a hill from his elementary school in northeastern Mississippi and played with other kids in a nearby field. Fans now have a chance to buy that old home, land and boat.

The house, land and other memorabilia are part of an online auction set for Nov. 11 by GWS Auctions, a Southern California company which specializes in the sale of items including estates, fine art and celebrity collectibles.

More than 150 items will be auctioned in all, including other items linked to Presley – his private jet, a 1957 pink Cadillac, a boat named Hound Dog, a television he shot up at Graceland and a two-bedroom mobile home from his Circle G ranch.

GWS Auctions owner Brigitte Kruse said all the celebrities’ items have been authenticated in various ways.

“Their possessions are rare, but beyond any monetary value, fans place an emotional value on owning something that came in contact with their idols,” she said.

Kruse said members of the Presley family and a longtime employee of Graceland and Elvis Presley Enterprises have certified all the Presley-related sale pieces.

Shipyard security wasted $21M on gear, vehicles PORTSMOUTH, Virginia (AP) — U.S. Navy

investigators say security personnel at a public shipyard in Virginia created an unauthorized police force that wasted up to $21 million on equipment, manpower and vehicles that included a high-speed boat.

The Navy released a 2014 report on Oct. 24 that detailed 12 years of mismanagement at Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth following a request from The Associated Press.

Federal News Radio first wrote about the report in August.

The shipyard is one of four public facilities that services the Navy’s fleet. The mismanagement of funds began amid security concerns that grew from the Sept.

11 terrorist attacks.

Alan Baribeau, a Naval Sea Systems Command spokesman, said in an email that the Navy has taken actions to correct the inappropriate conduct and provide more oversight of shipyard security.

STATE Drowning victim family sues Santa Barbara Sailing Center, Waterfront Department SANTA BARBARA — Are city employees and a business owner being sued for the death of Davies Kabogoza in Santa Barbara Harbor? The 29-year-old man drowned after renting a standup paddleboard from Santa Barbara Sailing Center in April.

Kabogoza’s family officially filed suit against the Santa Barbara Waterfront Department, the owner of a sailing center and other city staff.

Riedman stated he is not being sued

at this point but confirmed a claim has been filed with “our Risk Management Department for damages in excess of $25,000, which is the first step.”

He said officers responded within three to four minutes after the incident occurred, but Kabogoza was already underwater.

Kabogoza’s family claim the sailing center did not provide adequate safety equipment nor ask if Kabogoza could swim, according to news reports.

Riedman said his department patrols the harbor at all times and regularly checks

for proper equipment on watercrafts including paddleboards.

The drowning was a first for the Santa Barbara Sailing Center, according to Riedman.

Santa Barbara Sailing Center was recognized at the start of this year for 2016 Small Business of the Year.

Skip Abed, owner of the sailing center, was unavailable for comment.

“It was a real unfortunate incident,” Riedman commented.

Oxnard residents protest Fisherman’s Wharf project OXNARD, Calif. — A planned development on Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard was at the heart of an Oct. 29 protest by local residents, according to news report.

Ventura County’s KEYT reported a group of protesters picketed at the corner of Channel Islands Boulevard and Victoria Avenue in Oxnard to challenge plans to realize a revitalization of the area’s waterfront and harbor.

Protesters reportedly oppose an element of the plan promising to build a 400-unit apartment building at Channel Islands Harbor. The new residence venue would help fund

revitalization of the Fisherman’s Wharf area, according to KEYT’s report.

Those opposed to the residential expansion and anti-privatization of the harbor will be hosting a fundraiser at Channel Islands Yacht Club, Nov. 10.

Get Fletcher out Thanks to The Log for looking into the perplexing death of this popular bill. In addition to broadbased support, the bill actually made sense, and would have gone a long ways towards turning around the alarming decrease in California fishing licenses. Fewer fishermen have a significant negative effect on the state’s coffers, drying up funding streams for fish stocking, conservation programs, junior outreach, etc. If as suspected Gonzalez Fletcher was complicit in this, she needs to be outed and own up to it. It is outrageous that a representative of San Diego would be so arrogant and short-sighted.

It will be interesting to see if she has the spine to respond. If she is the culprit, California fishermen need to show up in force at the ballot box, and get her out.

Dean A. West

Why kill the bill?

Thank you, The Log, for looking into this. I have often not bought a fishing license because the year was more than half over. There must be

a reason this bill was killed, and I sure would like to know why.

Robert Davies

Corrupt politician We all know Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher does not vote for anything unless you line her lockers with money. She is a typical corrupt politician.

Richard Thomas

No common sense Called the office as you shared.

Nice person answered and stated this is the process and tried to explain that a lot of the bills don’t go thru because of fiscal issues, etc. I shared that this is a pay for service, it isn’t being given for free. Fees are added to our fishing license from time to time.

Fishermen and women wouldn’t mind a $5 fee, if it meant our license was good for a full year.

It was recommended I go on the website and look at the analytics or call the author for a possible answer. My opinion – whether you call it a vote or a decision, the members of the committee had to say “yes” or “no” whether or not SB187 moved further forward or not. Common sense definitely did not come into play for this bill,

Transparency and Our Representatives:

How much do politicians owe voters?

The failure of Senate Bill 187 still remains mysterious after The Log’s recent visit to Lorena GonzalezFletcher’s office.

By Parimal M. Rohit SAN DIEGO — Douglas Adams, in his “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” explained “42” as the answer – the problem, as anyone who read the book would know, is no one knew the question. The opposite continues to persist with Senate Bill 187 (SB 187), where we know the questions – heck, there might be at least 42 of them (and a few of them are listed below). What we don’t know are the answers – one reasonable answer would probably be enough to partially quell the disappointment of California’s anglers.

The Log paid visit to Assembly member Lorena Gonzales-Fletcher’s office in San Diego, Oct. 24 – armed with a few questions as to why SB 187, despite unanimous support in the State Senate and no recorded opposition, failed to advance for a full vote in California’s lower house.

Unfortunately no answers of substance were provided; it was unknown whether GonzalesFletcher was in the San Diego district office, and one of her press representatives was unable to provide much perspective.

The Assembly member, who also chairs the lower house’s Appropriations Committee, apparently has a policy of not providing a specific explanation as to why a bill fails to advance from the fiscally themed dais.

Juxtapose this “policy” with the governor’s office: Gov. Jerry Brown often provides the public with an official statement whenever he vetoes a bill. Why can’t legislators do the same? Are legislators obligated to communicate with us as to why they decide not to move forward with a proposal – especially when no one appears to be in opposition of the bill? They are our publicly elected officials, after all.

Also of note is The Log’s experience at Gonzales-Fletcher’s San Diego field office, which is located at 1350 Front Street in downtown (between A and Ash Streets). Her office is located in an official State of California building and home to other legislators.

Fast Facts: James Rolph

by J.R. Johnson

By Parimal M. Rohit The Log previously looked at shipwrecks off the Southern California coast, but there was once a schooner which succumbed to the elements while navigating the waters of Northern California more than 100 years ago. What makes this schooner interesting is it was named after one of California’s governors – but before he was elected to office.

James Rolph made a political name for himself in the 1910s and 1920, serving as San Francisco mayor for 19 years before representing the state as governor from 1931 to 1934.

Rolph, however, had extensive shipping interests prior to his political run, operating a shipping business in the San Francisco area.

His firm, Rolph Shipbuilding Co., built several vessels and owned a few others, such as Golden Gate and the eponymous James Rolph.

The 586-ton schooner was built in 1899 and was apparently a trade ship for more than a

decade. James Rolph came to her demise just one year before Rolph, the shipping magnate and politician, tossed his hat in the ring for San Francisco’s mayorship.

Information available on the shipwreck indicated James Rolph was unable to navigate herself out of foggy and winding conditions, ultimately crashing in San Pablo Bay in August 1910. Efforts to save her were unsuccessful.

Standing Watch From page 6

Her office was initially locked, though a staff member appeared in the hallway moments later, unlocked the door from the outside and spoke with The Log. The staff member, who spoke to The Log off the record, provided the writer with a few public documents on SB 187 and stated the Assembly member would not be able to provide a comment on why the bill failed out of the Appropriations Committee.

A legislative analysis of SB 187 reviewed by Assembly Appropriations Committee members in July was among the documents provided by GonzalesFletcher’s staff. The document stated the bill’s fiscal effect could result in up to $14.8 million in annual revenue losses for California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW).

The analysis did state DFW’s annual revenue losses under a 12-month licensing regime could be offset by potential increases in fishing license sales. SB 187 would have resulted in “unknown potential … revenue losses” had it been approved and signed into law, according to the Assembly’s legislative analysis in July.

Several questions are begged with this analysis. Is the brief fiscal analysis the reason why SB 187 failed? (We might never know.)

Did other state senators and assembly members not know the estimated financial windfall as they voted on the bill?

Has the legislature approved other bills where the potential revenue losses were unknown?

What could State Sen. Tom Berryhill, the bill’s proposer, have included in SB 187 to counteract hypothetical predictions of annual revenue loss?

And just how did the Assembly estimate DFW would suffer between $3.4 million and $14.8 million in annual revenue?

The July legislative analysis of SB 187 cited three states – Alabama, Georgia and Virginia – where license sales declined after a 12-month fishing license scheme, similar to the one proposed in Berryhill’s proposal, was enacted.

Virginia had suffered a 31 percent drop in fishing license sales after the 12-month system took effect, according

thelog.com

to the July analysis.

Alabama apparently suffered a 7 percent decline in fishing sales after its 12-month licensing system was implemented; Georgia’s license sales reportedly took an 11-percent hit when state officials there launched the 12-month fishing license scheme.

The Assembly’s legislative analysts relied upon these three states as examples of what could happen if California enacted and implemented as 12-month fishing license.

A 31 percent drop in fishing license sales in California, hypothetically speaking, would result in 332,000 fewer fishing licenses sold in the state – resulting in a $14.8 million loss in revenue – according the legislative analysis.

Fishing license revenues would decline by about $3.4 million annually if California – hypothetically – experienced a decline similar to Alabama.

These were the only figures presented in the July legislative analysis – which is what Appropriations Committee members reportedly reviewed while deliberating SB 187. The analysis did not study states where a 12-month fishing license scheme was implemented and revenues increased.

A similar analysis, with the same data, was presented to State Senators.

Did the Assembly’s Appropriations Committee reject SB 187 based on this data alone? It wouldn’t be unreasonable to deny the proposal if the only data committee members had in front of them stated California would lose at least $3.4 million – or as much as $14.8 million – had the bill become law.

Gonzales-Fletcher or her Appropriations Committee members could have offered this logic as the reason why they didn’t advance SB 187 – though there are still two flaws with this line of reasoning.

Where was data from other states where 12-month fishing license schemes are in place and revenues are in the green? Alabama, Georgia and Virginia aren’t the only states where anglers can buy a fishing license for 12 months, regardless of when purchased.

Texas’s 12-month license scheme, to be fair, was also cited, but the legislative analysis pointed out the Lone Star State experienced increased annual revenues from full-fee fishing license sales despite declining purchases. The revenue was made up by fee adjustments to other types of fishing licenses.

A California Sportfishing League (CSL) statement of 12-month fishing license schemes across the country indicated Texas actually experienced an 11.8 increase in sales after the state shifted to a non-calendar system.

Maryland was mentioned in The Log’s previous reporting of 12-month fishing schemes. The Old Line State reportedly earned an additional $20,000 annually after switching to a 12-month fishing license system in 2005.

Why wasn’t this data included in the legislative analysis presented to Appropriations Committee members?

Would such information have altered the decision-making process?

The other logical flaw with the evidence presented to Appropriations Committee members: what bearing does the decline of fishing license sales in Alabama, Georgia and Virginia have in California? What similarities do these states share in terms of angling culture? Do we know why those states experienced declines? Under what circumstances would the machinations of 12-month fishing license sales in three Southern states accurately predict whether a similar system would succeed or fail in California?

Higher price fish Less licenses sold [means] more fish for commercial fisherman to sell to restaurants at high prices to consumers. Fish was a poor man’s food, no longer. A $10 fish sandwich anyone?

Sad news for fisheries Hello Parimal – Great investigative reporting. In particular, I appreciate your call for transparency. The sportfishing community worked many years to earn the support of nearly every state organization representing business, labor, travel, boaters, marinas, campgrounds, hospitality and more. As a consequence, a bill supported by all and opposed by none is dead. The defeat of this bill will not only harm the state fisheries dependent on fishing license revenue, but our state and local economy. Sportfishing contributes over $4.6 billion to our state’s economy each year! The defeat of this non-controversial bill is very sad…very disappointing.

Swampy San Diego Welcome to the SWAMP! You’re getting an up-close introduction to one of San Diego’s own swamp monsters. Whatever happened to serving the public’s interests and safe guarding a healthy resource for state’s residents? I now refer to California as the “State of Confusion” not California – and the U.S., not as the United States, but as “Under Siege”.You can’t over run the state with the undocumented, give them free health care, education and financial support without blowing up our fiscal resources.

Disgusted and Voting for Change

The death of fishing I have seen this trend since 88-89 – the killing of the fish, the stupid laws that are hard to understand, bag limits that make it too expensive to fish for them, blocking off bank fishing, high price license along with the high prices of tackle and fuel added to it all. It is getting to not be worth the trouble, and I love to fish. Now with the tunnels and draining the delta and lakes, to send the water south stopping the fishermen from fishing, will free all the water up for exporting it south, because no one will care about the fish anymore.

Little thought for boaters Thanks for bringing this up. There seems to be a lot of development proposals aimed at generating more revenue for the local political governing body, such as county or city, that controls the port but little thought for the boaters.

Peek-a-boo, I see you Your editorial about the fishing license bill dying in the Assembly was very interesting.

As soon as I read that the chairman of the committee was a representative from San Diego, I knew who the culprit was. Even though the article did not mention her name, I was sure it was Lorena Gonzalez, and sure enough, I looked it up and it was her.

The bottom line is this: Ms. Gonzalez is only interested in issues that involve “labor” and social causes. She couldn’t care less about the rest of us.

Senate Bill 5, signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, will ask voters to support a $4 billion bond for outdoor protection.

By Parimal M. Rohit SACRAMENTO — California voters will have an opportunity to decide whether to finance coastal protection and outdoor access for all programs with a $4 billion bond, as Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 5 (SB 5) into law, Oct. 15.

The ballot initiative, if approved by voters, would specifically finance climate, coastal protection, drought, outdoor access, parks and water programs.

SB 5, which was introduced by State Sen. Kevin DeLeon, is California’s firstever “social equity” ballot initiative, according to a statement released by DeLeon.

Access to various public landmarks, such as parks and waterways, has apparently been an issue, particularly for Californians in lower income neighborhoods, legislators said.

A parallel proposal in the Assembly – which has yet to make it out of the legislature – specifically stated access to coastal waterfronts, inland waterways and other public recreational areas have been limited.

“Many Californians across the state lack access to safe parks, trails, and recreation areas, which limits their ability to experience the outdoors, improve their physical and emotional health, exercise, and connect with their communities,” the text of SB 5’s parallel proposal, Assembly Bill 18, stated. “Investments to create new and improve existing parks and recreation areas, and to create trail networks that provide access from neighborhoods to parks and recreational opportunities, will help ensure all Californians have access to safe places to exercise and enjoy recreational activities.”

DeLeon, who recently announced his bid to challenge Sen. Dianne Feinstein for her senatorial seat in 2018, said SB 5 and the ballot initia-

tive would prioritize access and resources.

“Clean and reliable water resources, including secure flood control systems, and access to parks and recreational space, are vital to our economy and wellbeing as a state,” De Leon stated. “This bond allows us to invest in critical priorities that have been neglected for years, while lifting people up with good jobs and livable, healthy communities.”

A portion of the bond funding would aid conservancies and California voters will head to the ballot box in June 2018 and decide whether the state should commit $4 billion for outdoor protection and recreational access initiatives.

“We looked from the point of view not how little we can spend, but what we needed to spend to produce a first class facility out there on the dock,” Staunton added.

All three parties were asked why they didn’t respond to the first RFP by council member Cinde MacCugan-Cassidy Herzog and Staunton both said the addition of the rooftop deck was a deciding factor.

Sours was also awarded third place for a “Light Column Story” memorializing her beloved boat cat. The article is online at bit.ly/2yKiAFO. Journalists submit work to be considered for various categories in the competition. The San Diego Press Club split categories this year, such as columns and features into “Serious” and “Light,” due to the growing number of submissions.

A list of all the award recipients can be viewed online at bit.ly/2y6O0Sm.

The council appeared, at this point in the meeting, unprepared to make any decisions. Council members had questions on how to proceed, as if they have not approved an RFP before for a business on the island.

“Is it inappropriate to ask for the credit and financials in the next couple weeks?” Mayor Ann Marshall asked the council.

Cassidy mentioned they should proceed with a background check.

“What? Fingerprints?” Marshall asked.

The proposals still needed to be vetted, City Manager David Jenkins had pointed out at the beginning of this agenda item.

“Since we have three unique proposals and there are some questions, I would suggest that we hold this over. Direct staff to go to the Coastal Commission and the Health Department,” City Council member Oley Olsen recommended.

The council agreed.

Offshore fish farm highlights latest round of Blue Economy pilot programs

By Parimal M. Rohit

SAN DIEGO — A quartet of green pilot projects are receiving serious consideration by the Port of San Diego, with hopes of fostering expansion in offshore aquaculture, marine debris management, oil spill forecasting and ocean monitoring.

Commissioners were presented with four pilot program proposals at their Oct. 10 meeting. The proposals addressed marine debris removal, ocean monitoring, offshore aquaculture and oil sensor technologies.

Port district staff received 15 proposals, in all, during its most recent competitive review process, which includes a vetting period, strategic review of the proposed plan and a negotiation period.

The Port of San Diego has been seeking opportunities in blue economy and aquaculture since 2015, all as part of an attempt to promote local fisheries and make advances in environmental progress.

The port district’s blue economy sector focuses on four industries: coastal development; commercial fish-

ing and recreational activities; shipbuilding and boatyards; and, cargo/ cruise ships.

“Our vision is to build a sustainable blue economy portfolio of new partners who can divert multiple benefits to the region,” Blue Technology Program Manager Philippe LeBlanc told port commissioners.

Port of San Diego will also look into proposals for marine debris removal and bilge sensing.

Aquaculture Rose Canyon Fisheries has been seeking to build an offshore aquaculture operation, just beyond San Diego’s coast, for several years and hopes to work with the port district to bring such plans online.

The port district would assist Rose Canyon Fisheries, which is led by Hubbs SeaWorld Research Institute, in securing permits for the planned off-

The need to pursue and implement blue economy and aquaculture opportunities is due to the United States’ trade deficit and heavy reliance on imported seafood, according to Paula Sylvia, the port district’s program manager for aquaculture and blue tech. shore, commercial-scale aquaculture venue.

“The [port] district’s participation in permitting the pilot project would involve supporting, and potential cost sharing, of the federal environmental review for offshore aquaculture,” port district staff stated. “This project, with its proximity to a major U.S. city and an extensive seafood market, has the potential to be a regional-based model and an early proving ground that can provide an invaluable data base of information that could advance the aquaculture industry nationwide.”

The need to pursue and implement blue economy and aquaculture opportunities is due to the United States’ trade deficit and heavy reliance on imported seafood, according to Paula Sylvia, the port district’s program manager for aquaculture and blue tech.

“This opportunity [for aquaculture in the United States] is being driven by the need to support development of a sustainable, domestic marine aquaculture industry that complements an already established sustainable fisheries industry,” Sylvia told commissioners. “We know the U.S. imports [more than] 91 percent of the seafood it consumes, contributing to a $14 billion trade deficit.”

Sylvia added aquaculture contributes to about 50 percent of the seafood supply worldwide.

Fostering an aquaculture economy at the Port of San Diego, according to Sylvia, would support several opportunities, such as fisheries enhancements, biofuel and food production, and ecotourism.

Commissioner Dan Malcolm told colleagues the port district could be a

vessels – from detection to alert notification,” port district staff stated. “BGI has been conducting laboratory testing of the sensor oil detection capacity for the vessel bilge application and logged more than 100,000 successful simulations.”

Port district staff and BGI will negotiate an agreement to move forward with the pilot program proposal. The port district would receive royalties on future BGI revenue in exchange for providing permit rights, pilot coordination and equipment use.

Ocean Monitoring

One pilot program seeks to develop a custom-made vessel capable of removing marine debris from the water. Zephyr Debris Removal would use skimming technology to help keep a portion of San Diego free of disposed trash.

“The Zephyr vessel features unique custom skimming technology designed to solve a variety of logistical hurdles for efficient marine debris removal, including removal of small debris, and access to shallow and rough water,” port district staff stated in a report to commissioners.

Zephyr’s pilot program would be for one year.

“The pilot project will collect validation data based on key variables influencing marine debris accumulation and removal (e.g. weather events, tidal swings),” port district staff stated.

Commissioners agreed to negotiate a pilot program accord with Zephyr.

San Francisco-based technology startup Spoondrift Technologies developed a buoy to collect and share ocean data in hopes of improving forecasting.

Spoondrift Technologies’ one-year pilot program, according to port district staff, is “a new revenue model for their ocean wave-current sensor and data monitoring platform for coastal tourism and recreation applications.”

“Spoondrift technology is designed around simplicity and scalability to provide solutions for a more connected ocean and to open ocean data and provide shared access amongst many users,” port district staff explained in its report to commissioners.

The data collected by Spoondrift’s multiple buoys would be available in real-time to recreational users and tourists.

Commissioners directed port district staff to continue performing due diligence before negotiating any agreements with Spoondrift.

Bilge Protection

Looking Back, Looking Ahead

A wireless technology provider, according to port district staff, had developed a patent pending oil and fuel detection sensor capable of detecting and preventing oil spills from a vessel’s bilge.

Blue Guard Innovations, or BGI, would operate a two-year pilot project to test the sensor technology in San Diego Bay. “[The Blue Guard Innovations] proposal is to conduct a demonstration of its sensor technology to detect and prevent oil spills from the bilge of

Four incubator projects were already vetted and approved by port district staff and commissioners. The pilot programs, approved by commissioners in June, aimed to develop a smart marina application, drive-in boat wash, copper remediation tool and oyster nursery.

The next round of pilot project proposals are all aquaculture themed, focusing on microalgae technology, ocean farmed seaweed, sustainable seaweed and water treatment production.

Santa Barbara Harbor will offer free safety training for all boaters, Nov. 8. The meeting starts at 6 p.m. and will be held at the Marine Center Classroom, 125 Harbor Way.

Free safety training for harbor users in Santa Barbara, Nov. 8 Waterfront Department provides updates on Harbor Watch, Harbor Patrol and Marina One.

By Nina K. Jussila

Harbor Patrol Kronman also told the commission the Harbor Patrol in Santa Barbara now has a full team of 10, thanks to the addition of two new officers.

Thomas O’Neil officially joined the department, Sept. 6; he has a background as a sailing instructor and competitive sailor.

“He [also] has an extensive maritime background having previously worked as a captain for the Island Packers, Explorer Dive Boat, So Cal Ship Services and Hook’s Landing in Ventura,” Kronman shared with the commission.

Nathan Alldredge was hired as a Harbor Patrol Officer on August 21.

He has “a decade of experience as a local educator as well as working as a deckhand with the Island Packers, and he had several years as Harbor Patrol Crew,” Kronman said.

“He holds a Coast Guard Operators license and [Emergency Medical Technician] certification,” Kronman also mentioned.

Alldredge speaks five languages which include German, French, Spanish and Italian.

Marina One Waterfront Facilities Manager Karl Treiberg reported to the commission on the status of the Marina One Replacement Project.

All that remains of the Marina One Replacement Project is the final phase (Phase 8), which includes fingers A, B, C and D. Treiberg told the commission the final phase of the project is scheduled to begin Nov. 28, with the 25-foot slips (B and C fingers).

SANTA BARBARA — Boaters and slip holders in Santa Barbara will have the opportunity to obtain some free safety training at a Harbor Watch meeting on Nov. 8.

Harbor Operations Manager Mick Kronman said the plan is to have the local fire department demonstrate how to properly use fire extinguishers and fire dock boxes.

Kronman provided an update of the Harbor Watch program at the Oct. 19 Santa Barbara Harbor Commission meeting.

The Harbor Watch program is similar to San Diego’s iWatch My Bay, in which Harbor Patrol provides information to the boating community at general meetings. Both programs are a type of neighborhood watch, where boaters are notified of recent waterfront area crimes and encouraged to report crime or suspicious activity.

The Santa Barbara program, however, has been around for a long time, whereas San Diego iWatch My Bay only started three years ago.

“The Waterfront Department began as a ‘Harbor Watch’ program in the 1990s,” a harbor operations report to the commission stated. “Over time, the program has morphed into a general information exchange between harbor users and Harbor Patrol, followed by more practical, even hands-on, education and training.

“Meetings have included everything from CPR/First Aid training, to hands-on demonstrations…to guest speakers,” the report continued.

The Harbor Watch meetings are held twice a year.

The meetings are scheduled on the “second Wednesday in November and the Tuesday before Memorial Day in May, which coincides with National Safe Boating Week,” Kronman announced.

The Harbor Watch meeting last May

involved a presentation on flares with 30 people in attendance.

The next Harbor Watch meeting on Nov. 8 will be held at the Marine Center classroom located at 125 Harbor Way from 6-8 p.m. Local boaters can call Harbor Patrol for more information about the program and the meeting at 805-564-5531.

DANA POINT — Dana Point boaters and Orange County officials certainly hope a second go-around with revitalization plans will be a charm, as the Board of Supervisors took a significant step forward, Oct. 17, with the selection of Dana Point Harbor Partners to realize a waterfront redevelopment project (at least) 20 years in the making.

Dana Point Harbor Partners, a collection of three firms, is the second developer to work with Orange County in trying to bring a major waterfront development to life. The firms behind Dana Point Harbor Partners are Burnham Ward Properties (commercial core), Bellwether Financial Group (dry and wet marina) and R.D. Olson Development (hotel).

Of course there is still some more work to be done before Dana Point Harbor Partners starts digging shovels into the ground and revitalizing South Orange County’s waterfront and boating venue. Both the county and developer must now proceed with contract negotiations.

Yet the county’s Board of Supervisors are hopeful the trio of firms will, after 20 years of delays, finally bring Dana Point Harbor’s revitalization plans to life.

“As master developer, [Dana Point Harbor Partners] has extensive experience developing and operating retail, marina and hotel properties along the coast, including large-scale and complex ground-up developments and the refurbishment of existing projects,” county staff said in a released statement. “While there will be one master lease between the county and [Dana Point Harbor Partners], each co-managing member will be responsible for their respective product type while working in collaboration with the other co-managing members.”

Hope might spring eternal, but Orange County and Dana Point Harbor have been down this path before.

Project Dimensions Inc. and O.C. Grand Jury The harbor revitalization’s previous developer, Project Dimensions Inc., or PDI, was initially hired to complete the South Orange County waterfront update. The company’s relationship with PDI soured, as the developer was eventually taken off the revitalization plan – after several million dollars had been poured into project.

Boaters and county officials certainly believe Dana Point Harbor Partners will achieve different results.

R.D. Olson Co. – one of the three firms under the Dana Point Harbor Partners umbrella – released an initial rendering of what Dana Point Harbor would look like once the waterfront revitalization is completed. Orange County’s Board of Supervisors agreed to move forward with Dana Point Harbor Partners as the harbor revitalization’s vendor. Both sides are now negotiating terms.

A grand jury was convened in 2014 to study the revitalization’s project management company – PDI – and the multiple contract extensions – worth millions of dollars – it was granted along the way.

“The budget for the revitalization project has increased from $6,982,000 approved for an initial five-year term in 2003, to the new maximum financial obligation of $13,183,310, through June, 25, 2018. The actual cost is yet to be determined,” Orange County’s Grand Jury stated in its 2014 Dana Point Harbor Revitalization report.

“At this time, there is no visible sign of construction.”

The grand jury also asked why a property management company – PDI – would have been allowed to remain on the revitalization project “when a shovel of dirt [had] not been turned” during its 11-year tenure.

Grand jury members also pondered whether Orange County officials were being transparent with revitalization plans.

“There also appeared to be reticence among some County employees as well as a general reluctance to share information about Dana Point Harbor. This mind-set spurred an interest with the Grand Jury,” the 2014 grand jury report stated. “[Dana Point Harbor] is an asset to be shared by all County residents and transient boaters, hence its future hinges on the safeguards of transparency to minimize failures and ensure a successful return on taxpayer monies.”

Almost $20 million was spent on Dana Point Harbor’s revitalization between 2003 and 2014, according to the grand jury – with no work started or completed.

Poseidon desalination project garners State Lands Commission support Controversial plans must still jump over a few more hurdles, but one agency approval is in tow.

HUNTINGTON BEACH — Poseidon’s plans to build an expensive desalination plant on the Huntington Beach coast took a significant step forward, Oct. 19, when the State Lands Commission recommended the saltwater conversion project move forward.

Building a saltwater-to-freshwater conversion plant in Huntington Beach has not been without controversy.

Proponents of Poseidon’s plans have long noted the need for freshwater in a dense urban area, particularly during Southern California’s drought cycles.

Opponents, however, challenge Poseidon’s plans based on its high costs and potential environmental harms.

The desalination plant, which carries a price tag of $1.1 billion, must still garner approvals from the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board and California Coastal Commission before construction can start, but the Oct. 19 State Lands Commission meeting was not without high-charged electricity emanating from people on both sides of the saltwater conversion debate.

Of course California’s coast is dotted with desalination plants, including Poseidon’s already existing saltwater conversion venue in suburban San Diego. A smaller scale plant already exists in Avalon, while discussions have been held to build a desalination venue in Dana Point.

Can Poseidon’s plans to covert saltwater from the Pacific Ocean into drinking water ensure water security for Orange County residents and ultimately be our answer to consistent drought cycles?

Barbara Boxer, California’s former senator, attended the Oct. 19 State Lands Commission meeting and spoke in support of Poseidon’s plans. Boxer, considered a liberal policymaker who supported green policies, said people have a right to oppose the desalination plant but the infrastructure is necessary to address water shortages in one of the country’s most populous regions.

There is no one “silver bullet” solution, however, to California’s rampant drought conditions, according to a 2014 report published by The Pacific Institute, potentially challenging those who see desalination as the answer to water insecurity.

A quick review of Poseidon’s proposal shows the private entity hopes the Huntington Beach desalination plant would provide 50 million gallons of converted freshwater daily. The converted water would be made available to as many as 400,000 residents in and immediately surrounding Huntington Beach.

Orange County’s overall popula-

The first of three agencies to vote on a desalination plant in Huntington Beach approved Poseidon’s saltwater conversion plans. What value does Poseidon bring to Orange County residents? What are the environmental impacts of Poseidon’s current proposal? Are there alternate solutions to our water problems?

tion is about 3.1 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, which begs a few questions. How many desalination plants must we build to provide sufficient freshwater to the larger Southern California market, especially during extreme drought seasons? What is the value of spending $1.1 billion to service 400,000 residents within a region where tens of millions of people live? What do we do with all the salt extracted from the processed saltwater?

Whether desalination is truly a solution to California’s never-ending drought cycles or an economic and environmental hindrance is a complicated issue. Desalination could well be a solution to California’s constant drought battles, but what’s the cost?

The Log broached the merits of desalination in the past but revisits the discussion in light of the recent State Lands Commission.

Sources of Water Imported water and groundwater are common sources of freshwater for Orange County residents, according to a formal water management plan.

The Metropolitan Water District of Orange County’s Urban Water Management Plan for 2015 stated water from Northern California and the Colorado River are often used to supply local households.

“Imported water provided by Metropolitan from Northern California and the Colorado River meet approximately half of the county’s water needs,” the 2015 management plan stated. “However, this dependence of 50 percent imported water does not apply evenly over the entire service area. South Orange County relies on imported water to meet approximately 95 percent of its water demand. The remaining five percent is provided by surface water, limited groundwater, and water recycling.

“North Orange County relies roughly 30 percent on imported water, as a result of their ability to rely on the Orange County Groundwater Basin to meet a majority of their demands,” the

water management plan stated. “The groundwater basin, which underlies north and central Orange County, provides approximately 62 percent of the water needed in that area; with imported water meeting the remaining balance of the water demand.”

An opinion article published in the San Jose Mercury News on Oct. 13 stated Poseidon’s Huntington Beach plant proposal would serve as another viable source of local water, particularly in light of natural disasters.

“Projects like Poseidon Water’s proposed Huntington Beach desalination plant provide innovative solutions to the need for reliable water sources,” the editorial column stated.

“The Huntington Beach Desalination Project will not only provide a reliable water supply to Orange County, it will take pressure off environmentally exhausted resources throughout the state, including in Northern California.

“This is an investment for the community that will provide great longterm benefits for all of California, while reducing the region’s dependency on imported water,” the opinion piece continued.

Alternate Solutions?

Poseidon’s planned Huntington Beach desalination plant, as mentioned earlier, would likely provide desalinated water to about 400,000

installation of the new docks and utilities will be completed before the holidays allowing boaters to return to their slips prior to January 1,” the facilities management report states.

“Construction will resume January 2nd with ‘D’ finger and then transition to ‘A’ finger with completion expected by the middle of February.”

people. Roughly 18 million people called the Los Angeles metropolitan area – which includes Orange County – home in 2015, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The $1.1 billion Huntington Beach desalination plant, accordingly, would provide 50 million gallons of desalinated water to about 2.2 percent of the region’s population, each day.

California might have to seek non-traditional solutions to address the state’s constant battle for water, according to The Pacific Institute.

A 2014 report issued by the Pacific Institute suggested improved efficiency of urban and agricultural water use could help mitigate drought conditions in the future.

The report specifically stated efficient water use practices could go along way in managing California’s extreme pendulum swings between drought and surplus.

“Identifying the technical potential to expand nontraditional supply options and increase water-use efficiency savings is just the first step in tackling California’s water problems,” The Pacific Institute’s 2014 report stated. “Equally, if not more, important is adopting policies and developing programs to achieve those savings.”

The combination of dense urban areas and stretched resources means California needs to reconsider its water delivery infrastructure, The Pacific Institute stated in its report.

“California is reaching, and in many cases has exceeded, the physical, economic, ecological, and social limits of traditional supply options. We must expand the way we think about both ‘supply’ and ‘demand’ – away from costly old approaches and toward more sustainable options for expanding supply, including water reuse and stormwater capture, and improving water use efficiency,” The Pacific Institute’s report on potential water insecurity issues stated.

“There is no ‘silver bullet’ solution to our water problems, as all rational observers acknowledge,” the 2014 report continued. “Instead, we need a diverse portfolio of sustainable solutions. But the need to do many things does not mean we must, or can afford, to do everything. We must do the most effective things first.”

become very efficient installing new docks and slip permittees will be displaced 3-4 weeks at most,” the report stated.

Treiberg reported the entire project is expected to be completed on time and under budget.

“The bid for Phase 8 is $1.9 million,” Treiberg added. “This has been paid for with a loan from the Division of Boating and Waterways [in the amount of] $14.5 million dollars, and, to-date, we have been reimbursed for $11,055,980.”

The Marina One rebuild project started in 2009 and is expected to be finished in February 2018.

City staff monitors harbor for derelict vessels and attempts to deter sea lions; new dock regulations are also in place.

By Nina K. Jussila

NEWPORT BEACH — City staff is perusing the harbor in Newport Beach to ensure vessels are in compliance with Coast Guard regulations.

Harbormaster Dennis Durgan and his team began identifying moored boats in poor condition and boats at risk of sinking. They recently had to pump out water from one boat in particular to keep it afloat.

A sinking boat, according to officials, effectively functions as an environmental hazard, potentially polluting the harbor with marine debris and leaked oil.

Durgan has taken preventive measures by meeting with the city’s code enforcement supervisor “twice a week, about 1.5 hours each, to identify, photograph and have his division send a notice of infraction per Title 17,” the Harbor Commission Ad Hoc Committee quarterly status report stated as of Oct. 11.

The Newport Beach Harbor Commission Ad Hoc Committee, consisting of Commissioners Scott Cunningham and John Drayton, support city staff in the effort to locate and remove derelict vessels. They recently joined Durgan aboard a vessel and navigated around the harbor, taking notice of boats in need of maintenance or removal.

Notices are being sent out and boat owners have been responding by cleaning up their boats, according to Durgan.

Durgan and his team do not have the authority at this point to issue citations, which is why he is working with the city’s code enforcement officer.

“We don’t have all the impound ability and citation ability just yet,” Durgan stated. “We are working through that with the city and the attorney’s office to get everything finalized, so we can do things correctly and enforce our city codes.”

Durgan said no boats have been surrendered to the city, since he became harbormaster in July. The one boat, which was taking on water, ended up being surrendered to a salvage company at the owner’s expense. A couple other boats in the harbor are still a concern.

Decoy coyotes Sea lions and birds can do damage to a boat, so Durgan is also looking at ways to keep the animals at bay.

Durgan ordered eight fake coyotes for approximately $25 each. He’s reached out to home or vessel owners to obtain permission to place these fake coyotes on a swim step or boat dock.

The decoy coyotes are meant to be a temporary solution to deter sea lions off boats and docks, where they can make a mess and make too much noise “until the owners of the homes or boats can get down to put better measures on them,” Durgan said.

Durgan got the idea from the Newport Harbor Yacht Club dockmaster, who had a couple of the fake coyotes on boats at the yacht club.

“I think it’s a very humane way of dealing with the issue,” Durgan commented. “Some people have resorted to putting spikes through pieces of wood and setting those up on docks and

Newport Beach cracks down on regulating moored boats

Newport Beach city officials are monitoring moored vessels to ensure Coast Guard regulation compliance and using decoy coyotes as a sea lion deterrent. Central Avenue Pier now has time and size limits for docking.

swim steps.”

Are the fake coyotes working as a sea lion deterrent?

“I would say that 90 percent of them are working,” Durgan answered.

Whether the coyotes will continue to be a deterrent remains to be seen. Dana Point Harbor used air dancers as a method to deter sea lions, and the strategy was initially successful. Over time, however, the sea lions adjusted and eventually became less intimidated.

A boater at Dana Point Harbor, interestingly enough, had placed decoy coyotes on his boat, apparently as a way to deter sea lions and seals from his vessel. The Log had featured this vessel in its Aug. 25 issue. It is unclear whether there is any connection between the boater’s actions and Newport Beach’s deterrent activities.

Central Avenue Pier Another new addition boaters may notice in the Newport Beach Harbor, aside from the coyotes, is the finished

Central Avenue Pier.

The Log had previously reported on the construction being completed on the public dock, but there were no signs in place.

The Newport Beach Harbor Commission discussed time limits in a September meeting and size limits in an October meeting.

“The Commission decided to limit the vessel size at Central Avenue to 30 feet and under,” Harbor Manager Chris Miller confirmed.

“The time limit depends where one ties their boat to the pier,” Miller continued. “Boats can dock for three hours on the landward or bayward side and 20 minutes on the other two sides.”

Construction has begun on the plaza adjoining the ramp and dock.

The pier may be closed at times due to the construction of the plaza, as Miller previously mentioned.

Central Avenue Pier allows boaters to be able to tie up their watercrafts temporarily to access Lido Marina Village.

Will Avalon’s South Beach have more sand by next summer?

By Nina K. Jussila

AVALON — City officials in Avalon hope to bring sand back to South Beach by the summer of 2018. The beach, located on the southwest side of Avalon Harbor, has been losing sand for nearly 20 years.

Avalon City Council authorized Michael Baker International to finalize details on funding prospects and the method in which sand will be returned and remain on the beach.

A discussion on remedial methods for the sand erosion at Avalon’s South Beach occurred at the Oct. 17 Avalon City Council meeting nearly a month after the causes of the erosion were presented.

The causes were two-fold as explained at the Sept. 19 meeting and previously reported by The Log. A cur-

rent is created when Catalina Express is docked and running its engines in reverse. Waves reflecting off the seawall during storms in combination with the current cause the sand to move off the beach and deposit under Pleasure Pier.

“That would be something to look into to prevent having to build million dollar break walls that take out moorings that generate revenue,” Lins continued. “I think it would be a very simple solution to the problem. It would save fuel on the boats. They can turn their engines off instead of sitting there full throttle reverse and make it much easier for other people to use the harbor at the same time and not wash our beaches away.”

Mayor Ann Marshall agreed with Lins but pointed out the boats are only part of the problem.

If you have a household-sized refrigerator and freezer you can operate underway, you’ll have fewer concerns about food storage. Reserve space first for your meats and seafood requiring chilling. But even if you have limited refrigeration, you can still cruise for extended periods and enjoy tasty, wellbalanced meals. You just need to be more creative in your provisioning, food storage and meal planning.

From Shearlock’s work and another favorite – Kay Pastorius’“Cruising Cuisine” – I learned many food items we Americans routinely refrigerate, such as eggs, condiments, many fruits and vegetables and even butter, can be safely stored outside the refrigerator in properly set up cool storage areas. Key to prolonging freshness and avoiding internal rot is to purchase never-refrigerated produce and eggs at farmers markets whenever possible.

Shearlock’s tips include wrapping cabbage (a great substitute for fragile lettuce in salads) in newsprint or paper towels to preserve it for up to two months and carrots and celery in alumi-

SAN DIEGO — With so many recent disasters, I’ve been checking on friends and acquaintances I knew were in harm’s way, which brought me to the website and Facebook page of one of my favorite boating cookbook authors, Carolyn Shearlock, co-author of “The Boat Galley.” I was delighted to discover her sailboat, docked in the Florida Keys, had escaped destruction – thanks to thoughtful hurricane preparation (detailed on her website theboatgalley. com) and good fortune.

My online explorations also led me to discover Shearlock’s new e-book, “Storing Food Without Refrigeration,” a valuable resource for anyone cruising with limited refrigeration.

From her website, I downloaded her book – offered for several months as a fundraiser for hurricane recovery efforts – and picked up many tips and new resources, which she’s added since publishing “The Boat Galley.” It’s modestly priced – just $9.99 for the download – and will save you buckets of money guiding you on what food to buy, how to store it for greatest longevity and even how to blend fresh with canned and dried foods to create simple and appetizing meals.

Barge arrives at Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp SAN DIEGO — Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp in San Diego continues to be dismantled, with portions of the boating venue’s infrastructure already taken apart and shipped elsewhere.

The modernization of Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp began in July; the port district brought in a barge in late October to continue the dismantling of

old infrastructure.

Workers have already removed quite a few rocks from the riprap, which were reportedly shipped out of state.

The Port District of San Diego was awarded $9.6 million in grants to upgrade Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp.

Port district staff stated the updated boat launch ramp would include ADA compliant docks, a larger maneuvering area, longer building floats, public walking platforms and updated signage.

Boaters Beware: “See a blow, go slow!”

Whales may be spotted in our local waters any day of the year, says whale expert.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — Autumn is known for fall festivals and costume parties, but is it known for whales frolicking in our local ocean? A pod of 10 killer whales were spotted multiple times along the Southern California coast in early October. A gray whale was seen riding the surf in Newport Beach on Oct. 24. Is October an unusual month for whale sightings?

Whale sightings are possible any day of the year especially with so many different species – killer whales, gray whales, humpback whales, fin whales, blue whales, minke whales and more, according to Alisa Schulman-Janiger, researcher and co-founder of the California Killer Whale Project.

The Oct. 24 sighting off Newport Beach was a juvenile gray whale, Schulman-Janiger confirmed.

Schulman-Janiger said the gray whale migration season from Alaska to Baja California is usually between December and February, “but it is not unusual to see several early grays in October and November, especially juveniles.

“Juveniles often migrate close to shore and spend more time exploring (curious young mammals) - even in harbors and bays,” Schulman-Janiger added.

Bigg’s, or transient killer whales, on the other hand, travel up and down the coast at anytime of the year in search of food. Their diet consists of sea lions, gray whale calves and dolphins, even though these orcas are part of the dolphin family.

“Killer whales (orcas) are the largest member of the oceanic dolphin family,” Schulman-Janiger explained. “They are called ‘whales’ because of size: dolphins over about 15 [feet] long are called

Whales of many different species cruise the California coastline. Boat operators should watch out for whale blows and slow down at any time of the year.

‘whales.’

The offshore killer whales, occasionally seen in California waters, eat shark and may travel with larger pods as well as other marine mammals.

“In December, I saw about 50 of them, traveling with three fin whales and at least one [California] sea lion,” Schulman-Janiger shared. “They tend to travel in large, chatty groups.”

Bigg’s are the most common killer whales seen in local waters traveling in small pods and quietly sneaking up on prey.

However, “this is the first time that any Bigg’s transient killer whales (mammal specialists - mostly seen hunting sea lions and common dolphin off of our area) have been confirmed as far south as San Diego,” Schulman-Janiger stated.

Schulman-Janiger confirmed the 10 orcas, seen between San Diego and Huntington Beach on Oct. 3, 5 and 6, and around Santa Cruz Island on Oct. 11, were a pod of Bigg’s killer whales consisting of two families.

“One of those two families in particular – the CA51s (also known as ‘The Friendly Pod’), has been sighted a few times (mostly between DecemberFebruary) off of the Southland,”

Schulman-Janiger said.

Carla Mitroff, manager of Oceanside Adventures, also said seeing the CA51s (transient whales category) in San Diego is unheard of until last month, but they were seen in Oceanside last year.

Researchers have been able to identify these orcas by distinct characteristics. One of the whales was spotted around the same time last year.

“The CA51s (Bumper is the male with the nick in his dorsal fin) and the CA216s are the pods named by the California Killer Whale Project,” Mitroff said. “The CA216s (Jagged is the male’s name for his jagged dorsal fin) have not been seen since last October.”

Schulman-Janiger identified the family members of the CA216s.

“The core is a mom - the matriarch - and her offspring, and sometimes a young grandchild or two (like we saw with the CA216s). Daughters usually split off into their own families after they start having kids. Sons stay with Mom nearly all of the time.”

Mitroff said the CA51s have been recognized in local water at least once a year. She also said these transient killer whales have a tendency to approach boats.

“Boaters should ALWAYS be on the

lookout for whale blows, backs, flukes,” Schulman-Janiger advised. “Whales transiting and foraging in our waters are in danger of becoming entangled in fishing gear - and being struck by vessels.”

Schulman-Janiger cautions boaters to go slow when they see a blow.

“Whales have an excellent chance of surviving a strike from a boat going less than 10 knots; higher speeds are much worse for them.” said Schulman-Janiger.

She recommends notifying Harbor Patrol and lifeguards about any whales seen near shore as the situation can create a navigational hazard.

She also encourages boaters to take photographs and video of whales when seen – but not to get too close.

Killer whales, aside from their name and size, have never attacked a human in the wild. Keeping a distance of 50 feet away, as The Log previously mentioned, is for the safety of the whales. They may approach a boat, but an exposed propeller or going too fast can seriously harm the mammals.

Sharing images can help researchers determine if the mammal is a rare species, an entangled whale and/or has been spotted before. The information can contribute to research by tracking the movement and behavior of whales.

“For example, we REALLY would like to get a resighting of the emaciated juvenile gray whale that was seen many times close to shore (often in marinas and harbors) in August, from below San Diego to Los Angeles Harbor - to confirm that it did survive,” SchulmanJaniger stated.

Boaters, who come across killer whales, can send details about the sightings, photos and/or video to SchulmanJaniger at janiger@cox.net.

“I will let them know which whales they encountered and will send them background details on their whales,” Schulman-Janiger relayed.

Schulman-Janiger is also the director of ACS/LA Gray Whale Census and Behavior Project and a research associate with Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.

Catalina Connection

By Nina K. Jussila

AVALON — The Catalina Island Conservancy’s 2016 Annual Report recounted the successful endeavors taken last year involving all three of the organization’s goals: conservation, education and recreation.

The Conservancy’s protection of the land encompasses plant and animal species as well as providing education and recreation for the people.

“The Catalina Island Conservancy is one of the oldest private land trusts in Southern California [and] protects 88 percent of Catalina Island,” the Conservancy website stated.

Conservation efforts were successful in recovering the island fox and bald eagle populations, stabilizing the bison population and preserving the plants on the island.

“Our survey in December of 2016 showed the fox population at 1,407,” the Catalina Island Conservancy President and CEO Tony Budrovich told The Log. “We are happy to report the fox recovery was very successful.

Upcoming lecture will share information of coastal region’s history and environmental recovery.

By Nina K. Jussila

SANTA BARBARA — Southern California is home to an extraordinary archipelago known as the Channel Islands. In fact, the Channel Islands contain more plant and animal species than the Galápagos Islands.

A lecture called “Precious Cargo: Saving the Biological Riches of the Channel Islands” will take place at Santa Barbara Maritime Museum (SBMM), Nov. 9. Vital information will be shared about how the Channel Islands were on the verge of environmental annihilation in the not too distant past.

California Islands Conservation Director Eamon O’Byrne will be the speaker. O’Byrne, a former yacht racer, professional mariner and charter boat skipper, joined The Nature Conservancy in 2008. He has led conservation efforts on the Channel Islands since 2013.

“I will be covering the human and the ecological history, how they were interlinked and the extraordinary effort it took on the

parts of lots of different people to bring these islands back to life,” O’Byrne told The Log. “It will give them a sense of how incredible this jewel of this archipelago is; how incredibly precious these Channel Islands are.”

Included in O’Byrne’s lecture will be the state of the island fox, which was close to extinction on the Channel Islands (though for a different reason than its counterpart on Catalina Island).

O’Byrne will discuss why the fox population plummeted to less than 100 before recovering and rebounding to 2,100 on Santa Cruz Island alone.

“The recovery has been so successful that the foxes were removed from the endangered species list,” O’Byrne stated. “It’s actually the fastest recovery of a mammal in the history of the Endangered Species Act.” Teamwork among a distinct specialty of individuals and organizations helped to restore the islands’ species.

Boaters who want to visit the Channel Islands to experience its environmental diversity can drop anchor at one of the region’s many coves without a permit. A permit, however, is required to step foot on The Nature Conservancy’s land. Permits can be obtained online at nature.org/cruzpermit.

The lecture begins at 7 p.m., with a question and answer session to follow. Admission costs $15 (or $5 for SBMM members).

More details are available online at online at sbmm.org/ all-events.

Sailing Team photo of Steve Hunt, Bruce Golison, Erik Shampain and Peter Kinney (from left to right) winning the J70 Great Lakes Championships at Cleveland Race Week in June.

Bruce Golison driven to be the best skipper in the world Local sailor placed third in the J/70 North American Championship.

By Nina K. Jussila Bruce Golison, member of Alamitos Bay Yacht Club for about 40 years, has a passion for competitive sailing and a strong desire to be the best in the world.

He just recently returned from the J/70 North American Championship on the East Coast, happy to have placed in the top three after having only raced in the class for less than two years.

“I love sailing in very competitive classes. That’s why we are in the J/70 class,” Golison told The Log. “Right

now, it’s a big class and a big fleet.”

Bruce Golison skippered his boat, Midlife Crisis, along with crewmembers Peter Kinney, Erik Shampain and Steve Hunt; they placed third among a fleet of 53.

He has sailed into first place at other East Coast and West Coast competitions.

Golison was the winning skipper in his class in the NOOD Regatta in Annapolis, Maryland earlier this year and overall in San Diego last year.

He qualified for the 2016 NOOD Championship Regatta in the British Virgin Islands, but said he was not able to compete due to scheduling conflicts.

“Probably the two things that drive me are I’ve never gone to the Olympics, and I’ve never won a World

Championship,” Golison stated. “I’ll never go to the Olympics, but the World Championship is still high on my bucket list.”

Golison said he was born into sailing and started at a young age with Sabots.

“My father had a very strong passion for sailing,” Golison said. “He was the one person who gave me the love of sailing and the love of the sea.”

His first sailing lessons were with Seal Beach Yacht Club. He then became a member of Leeway Sailing Club in Long Beach at the age of nine.

“Leeway Sailing Club was probably one of the biggest sailing [clubs] in the country. They had a membership of about 1,200 kids every year. That was a great place to learn to sail and race,” Golison stated.

Golison said he always wanted to be out on the water sailing and racing as a kid.

“I’d just take my Sabot out and race even by myself. I’d just go out and pretend I was racing,” Golison relayed. “I never got tired of it.”

Golison credits not only his father for where he is in his sailing career today but also his bosses at North Sails, who, he said, were all Olympic medalists as well as businessmen at the time.

He worked for North Sails San Diego as a senior in high school and throughout college, where his senior management team of Dick Deaver, Lowell North, John Marshall and Peter Barrett encouraged him to do well in school and pursue top grades in his education.

“I had to show them my grades more than I ever did to my parents,” Golison said.

Golison shared an amusing story about sailing in a regatta with one of his bosses from North Sails.

“We literally sailed between a tugboat coming out of San Diego [and] two fully loaded barges,” Golison stated. “The tugboat slammed into reverse and dropped the cables, and we sailed on through. That was probably the craziest and stupidest thing I’ve

ever done.

“At 22, you do what your bosses tell you to do,” Golison added.

Today, Golison keeps his J/70 on the East Coast to race and has his Lido in Long Beach for local competitions.

His wife came up with the name of their boat, Midlife Crisis.

People are beginning to tell him the name is no longer appropriate as the years go by, but Golison just responds by saying “I’m still in my midlife crisis.”

He and his wife laugh about the name when Golison says the money and time is better spent on the boat than a red Ferrari or a girlfriend.

Golison expressed his appreciation for having a partner in life, his wife of 35 years, who enjoys traveling for the sport of sailing.

Golison may be taking a break but not for long. He has a full schedule ahead of him as he plans to sail the Lido in Long Beach for the next couple months before more practices and competitions in the J/70 class.

“Our J/70 program starts ramping up in February,” Golison mentioned.

“We are going to work hard towards the World Championships in September in Marblehead, Massachusetts.”

He plans to charter a J/70 boat for Long Beach Race Week as part of his training for the World Championships next year.

He is motivated to keep competing at the age of 61, but admits he is worried.

“You just never realize or know how long you can stay competitive,” Golison confessed.

Golison said he was having a conversation with another sailor at the North American competition. They were discussing how long they have been competing. Golison told the other sailor he won his first trophy at a regatta in 1967, when the guy looked at him and said, “I wasn’t born until 1989.”

Golison, still obviously determined and motivated, said sailing is what keeps him young.

Long Beach Yacht Club to host regatta with Catalina 37s, Nov. 3-5.

By Parimal M. Rohit

LONG BEACH — A group of eight Catalina 37s will be competing against each other in this year’s Butler Cup, held Nov. 3-4 at Long Beach Yacht Club.

The regatta’s winner will earn an invitation to the 2018 California Dreamin’ Series. This year’s regatta qualifies as a World Series Grade 4 rating, according to organizers.

The Butler Cup is open to members of yacht clubs or sailing association recognized by U.S. Sailing. Only the first eight registrants are entered into the regatta – all others who sign up

afterwards are placed on a wait list.

Sailors and their crew will take a windward-leeward course, with starboard finishing downwind, according to the Notice of Race. A double round robin format will be used for all racing.

The highest-placing skipper from Long Beach YC will receive an invitation to the 2018 World Series Grade 2 Flicker Cup. Sailing practice will be held from 2-4 p.m., Nov. 3. The first skipper’s meeting will be held at 10 a.m., Nov. 4.

Prizes will be awarded 30 minutes after the last boat is docked, Nov. 5.

The regatta had entries from San Diego, Long Beach and Santa Cruz yacht clubs as of press time.

Newport Harbor Yacht Club’s Justin Law (and crew) won the 2016 edition of the Butler Cup; Long Beach YC Rear Commodore Bill Commodore and

Commodore Dave Hood took second and third place, respectively.

Also racing in last year’s Butler Cup were Jack Barton (San Francisco Yacht Club), Wendy Corzine (Long Beach YC), Lisa Meier (Long Beach YC), Paul Turang (Transpac Yacht Club) and Sydney Gathrid (Del Rey Yacht Club).

Long Beach YC team wins the LEMWOD Challenge

LONG BEACH — The Long Beach Yacht Club team, skippered by both Lisa Meier and Wendy Corzine with their allfemale crew, won the 26th annual Linda Elias Memorial Women’s One-Design (LEMWOD) Challenge on Oct. 15 earning the trophy for the host club.

The last time Long Beach YC won the LEWWOD Challenge was in 2003, coincidentally, the same year the namesake for this race died.

Linda Elias won the all women’s regatta three times and was a recipient of the “Yachtswomen of the Year” award.

She lost her battle with ovarian cancer in 2003. Her name was added to the title of the race to honor her as a champion sailor and member of Long Beach’s Women’s Sailing Association.

Long Beach/Los Angeles Women’s Sailing Association, sponsor of the allwomen’s regatta, “rededicated the event in her memory,” a press release on the race states.

Why did a Long Beach YC team take 14 years to win this race again?

“There was an absence of a formal team at Long Beach Yacht Club,” Meier answered.

The reason for this, she believes, is because the women went in different directions with match racing and other racing classes.

Meier and Corzine placed second in 2015 as co-skippers in this regatta.

“So close and yet so far,” Corzine said.

What did this achievement, after so many years, mean to the winners?

The win meant a great deal for Corzine, who grew up in the Long Beach

San Diego YC wins 103rd Lipton Cup Sailing team skippered by Tyler Sinks erased three-point deficit to dethrone Newport Harbor YC.

By Parimal M. Rohit SAN DIEGO — San Diego Yacht Club completed a come-from-behind victory on the final day of racing to win the 103rd Lipton Cup, held Oct. 27-29 in America’s Finest City.

It was San Diego YC’s fourth Lipton Cup win since 2011.

The 12-boat yacht club race in San Diego Bay featured some of the best sailing teams in the country, including last year’s Sir Thomas Lipton Cup trophy holder Newport Harbor Yacht Club, St. Francis Yacht Club, Chicago Yacht Club, Larchmont Yacht Club and New York Yacht Club.

Tyler Sinks skippered San Diego YC’s team to a 4-4-7 score (54 total) on

Meier said they put pressure on themselves to win the trophy for Long Beach YC. “We did not want to disappoint ourselves, and we did not want to disappoint the club,” Meier stated.

“What is even more meaningful for us is that we had the entire club supporting us and cheering for us no matter what the outcome was,” Meier added.

Corzine expressed her gratitude to Long Beach YC as well.

“The whole team is so appreciative of all the support we’ve gotten from the yacht club,” Corzine stated. “We couldn’t have done it without that.”

Both Corzine and Meier said they, with the team, plan to compete again next year.

Meier, who is also one of the chairs of the regatta, said the long-term goal is to get more young people out on boats and groom them, so “we can maintain the legacy of Long Beach YC having a great team of female racers.”

The Women’s One-Design Challenge began in 1991 to provide a race for women to compete against each other in Catalina 37s.

Legislators, special interests debate Magnuson-Stevens reauthorization

By Parimal M. Rohit

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Plans to update the guiding document of national fishing policy has caused a scrutinizing debate of whether science would have a lesser role in proposed changes to the Magnuson-Stevens Act, or MSA. Rep. Don Young, R-Arkansas, introduced House Resolution 200 (H.R. 200) in January to reauthorize the MSA. The bill proposed revisions for management plans of overfished fisheries and catch limit requirements.

Young’s bill would make a few changes to the MSA, such as replacing “overfished” with “depleted” throughout the act and requiring the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to publish its plan for implementing its Cooperative Research and Management Program.

Other proposed changes include the extension of offshore jurisdictions in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi and a requirement for NOAA to conduct stock assessments for all fish covered by the MSA’s fishery management plan.

“NOAA must develop guidelines that will incorporate data from private entities into fishery management plans,” according to the language of H.R. 200.

The proposal was most recently considered in a Sept. 26 hearing of the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water, Power and Oceans.

H.R. 200, however, received pushback from conservation and science organizations. Conservationists and scientists have urged legislators to ensure factbased research continues to reign in the management of the nation’s fisheries.

A contingency of 200 scientists signed off on an Oct. 23 letter to Congress, urging opposition to H.R. 200 and similar legislation “that would weaken science-based management of U.S. marine fish populations.”

“H.R. 200 will weaken the MSA’s successful recovery of depleted fish

populations by establishing broad loopholes that effectively eliminate the requirement for managers to set reasonable and scientifically based rebuilding timelines,” the Oct. 23 letter stated. “Decades of fisheries science [show] that in order to succeed in rebuilding overfished stocks, managers must implement strong and timely management measures based on sound science.”

The Magnuson-Stevens Act has been a vital tool for fishThe coalition of scientists added ery conservation, according to fishing advocates.

Questions arise of whether planned update of governing fishing policy would diminish role of science.

A ‘one-size fits all’ approach to fisheries management does not work well, and risks managing some fisheries overly conservatively while others suffer from regulations that are too liberal,” Jones, founding director of Michigan State’s Quantitative Fisheries Center, said in his Senate subcommittee testimony.

Jones did acknowledge MSA’s positive impact on marine life, pointing out how the policy helped rebuild 39 overfished stocks and increased fish stock sustainability by 98 percent since 2000.

Still he and others stated more work must be done under the MSA to ensure past successes aren’t for naught.

Sea State Inc. founder Karl Haflinger said data infrastructure must be modernized if the MSA is to continue being an impactful policy guidance document.

University of Washington professor Ray Hilborn, meanwhile, said U.S. federal fisheries policy should continue looking to the science community for guidance and recommendations on harvesting in the face of new threats.

“The major threats to U.S. fish stock and marine ecosystem biodiversity are now ocean acidification, warming temperatures, degraded coastal habitats, exotic species, land based runoff, and pollution,” Hilborn said in his testimony. “Overfishing remains a concern for a limited number of stocks but should not continue to be the most important concern for US federal fisheries policy.”

respectively.

California law established a 20-fathom depth restriction, while federal regulations establish take prohibitions at 30, 40 and 60 fathom depth contours.

“Yelloweye rockfish are a long-lived, slow-growing shelf rockfish species that were declared overfished in 2002 and cannot be retained in the recreational fishery,” DFW staff stated in its restrictions announcement. “They are currently managed under a strict federal rebuilding plan to allow the population to recover, which has required significant cutbacks to west coast sport and commercial fisheries for more than a decade.”

DFW staff urged anglers to avoid fishing where yelloweye rockfish are generally found, such as at pinnacles or rocky outcrops.

“If taken, yelloweye rockfish should be immediately returned to the water with a descending device to minimize injury and mortality. [DFW staff] also encourages anglers who encounter them to change fishing locations to prevent catching additional yelloweye rockfish,” DFW staff stated in its announcement.

All Smiles for a Bottom Feeder

By Parimal M. Rohit

NEWPORT BEACH — Thunderbird Sportfishing out of Davey’s Locker in Newport Beach had a decent day of fishing, Oct. 17, as the anglers aboard returned to shore with one halibut to go with 25 bluefin tuna, 13 yellowtails, 12 calico bas and some mixed bottom grabbers. The very next fishing trip yielded 22 bluefin (to 40-plus pounds) and 31 yellowtails (to 30 pounds).

Tuna and yellowfin were also biting on an Oct. 16 expedition.

Tight lines:

Can you earn a tax credit for donating sport fish to charity?

By Parimal M. Rohit SACRAMENTO — California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife occasionally publishes a questionand-answer series on its blog, giving the state’s anglers, hunters and other outdoors enthusiasts with substantive insight on specific topics.

A recent Q-and-A blog post delved into whether a fish caught from state waters – while fishing with a sportfishing license – is eligible for a tax credit if donated to charity.

“It is unlawful to sell or purchase fish caught via a sportfishing license.

Therefore, fish taken via a sportfishing license cannot be easily assigned a monetary value,” the blog post stated, citing Fish and Game Code, section 7121. “It would be very difficult to determine the fair market value of a sport-caught fish

because sportfishing and commercial fishing are very different.”

The California Code of Regulations, however, might provide anglers with an avenue for value to be assigned to certain species caught, the Department of Fish and Wildlife post stated.

“There is a provision that does provide for the exchange of certain sport caught fish for filleted, smoked or canned fish (California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 231),” the blog post stated. “This regulation only applies to a limited range of species though, primarily tuna, and they include: albacore, bluefin, yellowfin and bigeye tunas, as well as skipjack and yellowtail.

“This regulation may be helpful in determining the value of a donation if you decide to donate a portion of any of the above listed species to a qualified non-profit charitable organization,” the blog post continued.

SoCal and Baja’s #1 Source for Fresh and Saltwater Fishing SALTWATER OCEAN FISHING REPORT

By Terrence Berg 976-TUNA.com FISH-OF-LIFETIME BLUEFIN BITE CONTINUES: While most of the San Diego fleet is heading into Mexican waters for the great yellowfin tuna fishing, the bite on trophy bluefin tuna continues off the Southern California coast for overnight to 2.5-day boats fishing the banks off San Clemente Island. Boats running out of San Diego, Orange, and Los Angeles county landings are still getting in on this action, and the fish are running from 15 pounds up to 200-plus pounds, with a lot of the bigger grade fish.

Aztec out of Seaforth Sportfishing had 22 anglers on a 1.5-day trip, Oct. 25, and they landed 20 bluefin to 160 pounds and two quality yellowfin tuna.

Thunderbird out of Davey’s Locker had 21 anglers on a 1.5-day trip, Oct. 25, and they landed one big bluefin and 27 yellowtails.

The three-quarter Mission Belle out of Point Loma Sportfishing had 31 anglers Oct. 25, and landed 19 bluefin along with 35 yellowtails, 60 bonito, and one barracuda.

At Seaforth Landing, San Diego had 55 anglers on its Oct. 25 three-quarter-day trip and landed 250 yellowfin, 15 yellowtails, and 10 Dorado. Even the half-day New Seaforth, also out of Seaforth, had 80 yellowtails for 16 anglers (full limits), Oct. 25, while the Oct. 24 morning trip with 16 anglers produced 100 yellowtails and two bonito. On Oct. 24, Tribute had 28 anglers on an overnight trip and landed 140 yellowfin, 20 yellowtails, and 21 Dorado.

At Fisherman’s Landing, Pacific Queen was on a 1.5-day trip with 32 anglers on Oct. 24 and landed 70 yellowfin and 28 Dorado.

CATALINA AND NEARSHORE UPDATE: The yellowtail bite at Catalina Island has dried up, but the action on nice bonito has been exceptional with a lot of five-fish limits. Along the coast, there have been some good picks on bass and very good rockfish action, especially if you can fish mid-week when the loads are light.

Team Chupacabra wins 37th annual Bisbee Black & Blue Tournament CABO SAN LUCAS — Team Chupacabra showed the rest of the sportfishing world a thing or two about big game fishing landing a 326-pound blue marlin plus a 350-pound black on day 2 scoring a total 676 points earning them top team and Captain honors in the 37th Annual Bisbee Black & Blue Tournament.

Chicago-based Team Ten Brothers, however, walked off with the largest winnings overall, $961,518.75, for its threeday angling effort.

Total winnings for all teams in all categories including daily jackpots amounted to $3,255,750.

This year’s fishing tournament – held at the confluence of the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez – had 807 anglers on 120 teams who accounted for 14 black marlins, 54 blue marlins, 10 striped marlins and one sailfish. The hookup-tocatch conversion rate was 88 percent.

One of the most notable catches of the tournament was a 569-pound black marlin reeled in by Bill McWethy and his crew aboard C-Bandit.

Also of note was the 462-pound black marlin reeled in by Danny Hogan (Wild Hooker).

Vidal Garcia Luna and his Team Tiliches out of Puerto Vallarta reportedly reeled in a 325-pound blue marlin.
