Orange County announces plan to publish reports. By Parimal M. Rohit SANTA ANA — Planned audits looking into multiple aspects of Dana Point Harbor’s operations were confirmed to be delayed only hours after The Log reported Orange County’s AuditorController’s office did not complete its review within the loose schedule announced in May 2016. The audit reports spawned from the discovery of an unauthorized hotel discount program in effect at Dana Point Marina Inn. The Log’s report (see Feb. 10-23 issue) was based on its requests for information and updates to the AuditorController’s office going unanswered. However Orange County AuditorController Eric Woolery contacted The Log within hours of its report being published online and informed the editorial team his office was making progress on publishing the promised audit reports despite delays. A member of Woolery’s staff confirmed via email the AuditorController’s office is concurrently working on four audit reports associated with operations at Dana Point Harbor. One report in the works is an expanded audit of the Dana Point Harbor Special Revenue Fund. The
Auditor-Controller’s Office issued a pre-draft report to the Orange County Community Resources (OCCR) in January 2017. Once responses are received from Community Resources a final audit report will be publicly released, according to the AuditController’s office. Responses to the audit were due within 60 days. Plans to audit operations at Dana Point Harbor’s Ocean Institute were also delayed, according to the AuditorController’s office. “This audit was delayed because during the course of the audit, this Ocean Institute lost their Controller, CFO and accounting staff. Staff turnover of course delays the audit,” AuditorController Public Information officer Danielle Katz told The Log in an email. “We issued our pre-draft report to OCCR Feb. 8 … [and had] until Feb. 16 to provide comments. After comments are received and incorporated, a formal draft report will be issued. Once issued, the agency then has 60 days to respond. A public final audit report will be issued for publication once that process is completed.” Responses to an audit of Vintage Marina Partners’ work at Dana Point Harbor are due Feb. 24. A report will be published within a week after responses are submitted. The promised follow-up report on the initial hotel discount program audit

There is also a new audit in play: the Auditor-Controller’s office will be taking a look at Dana Point Yacht Club, Katz told The Log. “This new audit is currently in the audit management review stage.

Floating hotel resembles an ice crystal 2C
House boats are nothing unusual, especially in the Netherlands where there are actual houses built to float in areas prone to flooding. A hotel that floats, however, is rather unusual. Dutch Docklands, an innovative architecture company in Holland, is currently developing a floating hotel called Krystall. The design of this hotel resembles a giant snowflake floating on water. The idea is for the hotel to blend in with the surrounding snowy environment. Being on the water, the establishment is expected to have very little environmental impact and can be moved or removed relatively easily. Krystall will be situated in

Navy taking ownership of future USS Peralta BATH, Maine (AP) — The future USS Peralta is becoming property of the U.S. Navy. The Peralta is the first of the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers to
be built at Bath Iron Works since the Navy ended the program, and then restarted it in 2010. The 65th destroyer in the class will incorporate upgraded radar and missiles for ballistic missile defense. The change in ownership doesn’t mean the ship is leaving right away. The ship will remain docked at the shipyard in coming weeks before sailing off to be commissioned this summer in San Diego, where the warship will be homeported.

Essentially the budget associated with this develop2C ment is “almost the same as a DARK land-based hotel of thisBKGND type, but with an additional 15 percent increase to cover the cost of the floating foundation,” Olthuis had stated as reported BW by The Telegraph in the United Kingdom. Some news reports claimed the hotel would open in December 2016. Other news outlets reported the hotel is scheduled to open this year. The Log’s attempts to obtain a grand opening date from the company were unsuccessful. It remains to be seen if the hotel will be accepting guests later this year. If the completion of this development in Norway happens soon, Krystall will be the first floating hotel in Europe.

Letters/Online Comments Re: NOAA Report: Sea level rise poses consequential risk to United States (Feb. 10 – 23, 2017 issue)
Cooking the climate books Didn’t NOAA recently get caught cooking their climate data books? If they did, why should we believe anything they say? Dar Horn
Biased report by NOAA Whole report was pushed through without peer review before release. Information director Thomas Karl, did so by “insisting on decisions and scientific choices that maximized warming and minimized documentation.” John Bungo
So what’s the point of curbing greenhouse gases? Let’s see. 3 inches in 24 years… and we’ve made valiant attempts at curbing greenhouse gases during that time (and will continue to do so). By my estimation based on this limited data from an organization proven to have “cooked the books” regardless… it seems that it would take another 72 years for the sea levels to rise another 8 inches… and by
extrapolating it appears that if all were to remain the same (and again, we’re curbing greenhouse gases compared to the 1990’s levels) it would take until approximately year 2300 to gain the “3 feet” suggested by this POLITICAL organization. No? Jon
So where has all the water gone? One immediate question: With all of the global warming, melting ice from glaciers sea ice, and ice caps, etc. that has occurred thus far, where has all of that water gone? And we should believe the 8-9 inch rise that has supposedly already occurred because? There are reliable folk out there who say there has been no rise in sea levels. Oh now I understand, since we have had all the melting glaciers and sea ice, the sea level just had to rise. Sort of like your glass becomes fuller as the ice cubes melt. Does it? I do not recall. My boat does not have refrigeration. Brian Aherne
Go back to the scientific drawing board This is garbage. Much is already disproven. Watch for a different tone from NOAA within 12

Abolishing EPA would be bad news for local marinas, fisheries Funding from federal agency benefits anglers and boaters. By Parimal M. Rohit WASHINGTON, D.C. — Anglers and boaters do not need the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), right? What do federal administrators know about local boating and fishing issues? This is the spirit of a current proposal to eliminate the EPA, with at least one federal legislator claiming the management of environmental issues are best left to local states, sans support from Washington, D.C. Of course there are many EPA-backed or supported programs benefiting anglers and boaters, so perhaps an all out ban of the federal agency might be too much too soon. Completely ridding ourselves of the EPA because its challengers and skeptics argue the agency’s policies are onesized-fits-all and, at times, overbearing might not be the most viable long-term solution. The EPA is certainly not infallible, but certainly a middle ground could be found. There must be some way to balance federal oversight of environmental protections with state or local level management of its lands and waters.
Federal oversight and state management of environmental policies do not have to be mutually exclusive. Nonetheless a representative from Florida recently proposed doing away with the EPA entirely.
H.R. 861 – Abolish the EPA The move to permanently do away with the EPA, which was created by Pres. Richard Nixon in 1970, is currently the focus of House Resolution 861 (H.R. 861), which was introduced by Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz on Feb. 3. His three co-sponsors – Reps. Barry Loudermilk, Thomas Massie and Steven Palazzo – are from Georgia, Kentucky and Mississippi, respectively. The quartet of Republican lawmakers pushing H.R. 861 claim abolishing the EPA supports states’ rights. H.R. 861, if passed and signed into law, would eliminate the EPA entirely by Dec. 31, 2018. Gaetz, in a live video posted on his Facebook page, said federal programs are one-sized-fits-all and have failed states. “For six years in the (state) legislature, I had a front row seat to the failures of the federal govSee STANDING WATCH page 20
Fast Facts: Southampton International Boat Show Act of 1997 By Parimal M. Rohit The 2017 boat show season is officially underway in the United States. Did you know there is one boat show in the United Kingdom with its own law on the books? Members of the U.K. Parliament approved a local act 20 years ago to allow a public waterfront park to be closed long enough for the Southampton International Boat Show to execute its complete 10-day schedule. The Southampton International Boat Show Act of 1997, adopted by the British Parliament on July 15, 1997, created a legal exception for Mayflower Park in Southampton, England to be closed for more than six days. Localized British law previously restricted the park from being closed off for events to no more than six consecutive days. The Southampton International Boat Show Act of 1997 changed the law to extend the closure period to 10 days. “It is now highly desirable if the potential of
the Show is to be fully exploited and its international reputation sustained that the Show should be able to open for 10 consecutive days. This would allow in particular the Show to open and then continue over two weekends as happens with many international shows,” the local act stated. “The show makes a significant contribution to the economic prosperity and commercial reputation of the city of Southampton and is an important event for the recreational boat trade.” Closing a public park in England for an event was limited to six consecutive days by the Public Health Acts Amendment Act of 1890. An exception the 1890 law was approved in 1983 to allow Mayflower Park to be shut down nine consecutive days for the Southampton show. Parliament members added a tenth day 14 years later. Southampton is located 75 miles southwest of London and just north of Portsmouth.

Blips on the Radar Latest News Updates
By Parimal M. Rohit and Nina K. Jussila
Redondo Beach voters could determine fate of Waterfront project What Happened: A ballot initiative potentially restricting development opportunities at Redondo Beach’s King Harbor was allowed to move forward last year. A grassroots group – Rescue Our Waterfront – opposed to the current iteration of CenterCal’s The Waterfront project spearheaded the ballot initiative in hopes of preventing what it thought was an oversized mall from being built on the edge of King Harbor. City officials, in an analysis published in December 2016, stated Measure C, if approved, would not necessarily prevent CenterCal from realizing its Waterfront project. “There is a question of law as to whether Measure C would require California Coastal Commission certification prior to taking effect,” Redondo Beach City Attorney Michael Webb stated in his office’s analysis of Measure C.“If Coastal Commission certification is legally required, then even if approved by the voters Measure C would only be contemplated legislation and cannot take effect as official law unless the Coastal Commission approves it. “It is uncertain whether Measure C would interfere with any vested development rights already obtained,” Webb continued in his office’s analysis.“Portions of this measure potentially conflict with existing law and might not be enforceable if adopted.”

Measure C, also known as the King Harbor CARE Act, aims to halt construction of The Waterfront because it would violate a voter-approved zoning ordinance, according to the initiative’s supporters. The zoning ordinance was approved by Redondo Beach voters in 2010 and set parameters of the city’s future coastal development. However Measure C’s supporters and opponents disagree about the scope of the zoning ordinance. What’s On Tap: Voters will decide on the fate of Measure C during the March 7 primary election. The initiative either allows for an economically viable redevelopment of King Harbor, according to Measure C’s opponents or builds an oversized waterfront mall, the initiative’s supporters argued. Results of the March 7 election – and its potential effect on Redondo Beach’s Waterfront project, will be covered in The Log’s March 10 issue. --PMR
California Coastal Commission hires new executive director What Happened: The California Coastal Commission unanimously selected Jack Ainsworth to succeed Dr. Charles Lester as the state agency’s fifth executive director during its February meetings in Newport Beach. Ainsworth, 59, served as the commission’s acting executive director and was given the top staff permanent position one year after commissioners fired Lester. The list
of potential candidates was kept confidential though it was reported at least five people applied for the position. CPS HR Consulting, a human resources firm, was hired by the commission to aid in its search for a new executive director. The firm, according to the Coastal Commission, contacted more than 1,000 applicants. Finalists were interviewed Feb. 10 during a nine-hour closed session. The new executive director earned his undergraduate degrees in Environmental Science and Geography from California State University, San Bernardino; later he earned a Master of Science degree in Geography from University of California, Riverside. What’s On Tap: Ainsworth, a San Bernardino native, will be based in San Francisco and earn $165,432 annually. His term began immediately. --PMR
Congressional Boating Caucus announces new leadership What Happened: Reps. Lois Frankel, D-Fla., and Tom MacArthur, R-New Jersey, were named as co-chairs of the House of Representatives’ Congressional Boating Caucus, as announced Feb. 13. Both House members are reportedly supporters of recreational boating. What’s On Tap: The Congressional Boating Caucus was formed in 1989 and has four bipartisan co-chairs. Two of the co-chairs come from the House of Representatives and the other two hails from the U.S. Senate. The caucus, which informally advocates for recreational boating interests across the country, has not yet named its senatorial co-chairs. --PMR
Phase 1 of Grand Canal Dredging project in Balboa Island complete What Happened: Phase 1 of the Grand Canal Dredging project in Balboa Island, which began Dec. 5, 2016, was completed to the satisfaction of the Newport Beach Public Works Department. Dredging is necessary for this channel in Newport Beach as it is difficult for boaters to navigate in low tides. Newport Beach (City Council) awarded Associated Pacific Constructors, Inc. (APC) with Phase 1 of the Grand Canal Dredging project on Oct. 11, 2016, as The Log reported. Phase 1 of the Grand Canal included the area between South Bay Front and Park Avenue. Seawalls were starting to erode at the base, so sand was added to support the seawalls. All the sediment dredged was appropriate for ocean disposal. The total cost of this phase of the dredging project was $379,545. The City Council consented to the completion of Phase 1 of this project unanimously with the exception of council member Jeff Herdman, who recused himself from this agenda item on the consent calendar due to a conflict due to a property interest. What’s On Tap: The Grand Canal Dredging project has three phases. Only the South Bay Front section of the Grand Canal has been completed. “N. Bay Front section will be done later this year. Then, finally, the middle section between Park and Balboa Avenues will be done probably late 2017 or so,” Harbor Manager Chris Miller told The Log. --NKJ

NEWPORT BEACH — The relationship between jetpack enthusiasts and Newport Beach City Hall was tenuous and turbulent, to say the least. Calmer waters seem to have prevailed – for now – for the group of waterfront residents who were anything but thrilled to see groups of thrill seekers trying to fly above water in Newport Harbor’s Turning Basin. Newport Beach’s City Council officially – and quietly – banned jetpack operations in the local harbor. The decision ends a multiyear battle between outdoor sports lovers, city leaders and waterfront residents. Council members approved the ban at their Feb. 14 meeting without discussion or deliberation – a vote later challenged by a local community activist. However the Newport Beach Harbor Commission, during its Feb. 8 meeting, reiterated its desire to have all jetpack activity banned from the city. “We [initially] recommended complete prohibition of water propelled vessels above the surface of the water, [but] the council elected to prohibit privately-operated craft and allow one commercial operator,” Harbor Commissioner William Kenney said Feb. 8, recapping the commission’s early opposition to jetpack operations. “The goal would now be to go back and put on the absolute prohibition.” Jetpack operations in Newport Harbor met with controversy ever since the activity was introduced within city limits. A contingency of waterfront residents opposed any jetpack activity within the harbor, claiming it was loud and unsafe. Opponents were constantly vocal at Newport Beach’s Harbor Commission and City Council meet-
ings. Supporters of the activity said jetpack operations were actually safe and would draw tourists to Newport Beach. Opponents seemed to have momentum in early 2015 when the local Harbor Commission, in response to multiple jetpack operators offering their respective services in the harbor, recommended prohibiting all private operations of the water propelled vessel. However the City Council overruled the Harbor Commission in June 2015 and allowed one operator – Jetpack America – to continue offering its commercial services in the harbor. Jetpack America was awarded a one-year permit to operate jetpacks at the harbor’s Turning Basin; the permit expired in November 2016. The company left Newport Beach after the permit expired and was not renewed. “Now that there are no commercial or private recreational operators in Newport Harbor, staff and the Harbor Commission recommend prohibiting all water-propelled vessels that operate above the water surface in Newport Harbor,” city staff stated in a report to council members. The council’s decision to ban all jetpack operations from Newport Harbor was not consistent with free market principles, according to one resident. “The real question before you is whether or not you believe in the free market. The previous vendor had to leave the city because it was being taxed an absolutely crippling amount of money – that was abhorrent,” resident and former City Council candidate Mike Glenn told council members in an email. “Will you continue the policies of the previous council in an attempt to take the free market systems that have been proven to work, and instead allow government officials to only allow the services that a small few people do not complain about? “This is a great test of your dedication to the principals of small governSee JETPACKS BANNED page 9

ment,” he continued. Longtime waterfront residents Don and Judy Cole, in a joint email to the City Council, reiterated their collective opposition to jetpack operations in Newport Beach. The Coles claimed jetpack operations were not compatible with other Newport Harbor’s other uses. “The jetpack business was not successful in our harbor – not because their permit was overly restrictive or that they were overregulated. The fact is that water propelled vessels above the surface of the water may be suitable in other areas, but they are not compatible within our particular harbor,” Don and Judy Cole stated in their joint email. “Newport Beach isn’t Las Vegas, Miami or Waikiki – and hopefully will never be.” City Manager Dave Kiff said the council initially hoped jetpack operations could work as a controlled activity within Newport Harbor, but circumstances have since changed. “The previous concept was that water propelled vessels were OK, but only ‘one vendor at a time,’” Kiff said in an email to council members. “This action would amend the [city] code to say any uses like that would not be allowed, thinking that uses like the jetpack were a bit on the noisy side and didn’t work as well with boats and hand-launch vessels in our relatively small and narrow harbor spaces.” Council members supported the

ban by a 5-1 vote, with Mayor Kevin Muldoon voting against the ban proposal and Mayor Pro Tem Duffy Duffield recusing himself. The Feb. 14 vote rescinds the City Council’s June 2015 decision to allow one permitted commercial jetpack operator. The council vote was challenged a few days later. Glenn, according to news reports, filed a complaint against Council member and former harbor commissioner Brad Avery. The complaint reportedly alleges Avery had conflict of interest and therefore the vote should not be allowed. Glenn explained the allegation on a blog he manages. “When Avery ran for office, he put down his main occupation as the job he has working as the director for [Orange Coast College’s] marine programs,” Glenn wrote on his Save Newport blog. “Out of this area, he runs sailing classes, sends people out on sailing boats, and also runs an organization on the side, which sells boats. Finally, he has been the head honcho of a prestigious yacht club right here in Newport Beach. “Note that none of this involves jetpacks – only ‘traditional’ boats and boating – two water uses which compete for the same space, and only one of which Avery gets paid to operate. So what were the jetpacks ‘incompatible’ with? Could it be the same types of business that Avery makes income from?” Avery continued. Jetpack America is still operating in San Diego and Las Vegas.

In Norway, zoologists find 30 plastic bags in stranded whale COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Norwegian zoologists have found about 30 plastic bags and other plastic waste in the stomach of a beaked whale that had beached on a southwestern Norway coast. Terje Lislevand of the Bergen University says the visibly sick, 2-ton goose-beaked whale was euthanized. Its intestine “had no food, only some remnants of a squid’s head in addition to a thin fat layer.” Lislevand says the non-biodegradable waste was “probably the reason” why the whale repeatedly beached Saturday in shallow waters off Sotra, an island west of Bergen, some 200 kilometers (125 miles) northwest of Oslo. He said the U.N. estimates 8 million tons of plastic trash are dumped into oceans each year. Information on the whale’s age or gender was not immediately available.

SAN DIEGO — With more than a decade of sail-making experience, Eric Grigsby joins the Quantum team as the Loft Service Manager at Quantum San Diego. With experience in everything from small cruising sails to custom-made racing sails for 60-90 foot yachts, his knowledge will provide the San Diego loft with the same high-level of service and expertise that sailors expect from Quantum Sails. A southern California native, Grigsby started his sail-making career in Nevada where he learned the basics as a gantry operator. Within ten years he was specializing in the manufacture of sails for 100+ foot boats, including building all of the upwind sails for +39 Challenge for the America’s Cup and for Puma Ocean Racing for the 2008-09 Volvo Ocean Race. Three years ago he returned to Southern California to specialize in super yacht and tall ship sails in the San Diego area. This winter he joins the Quantum Sails team as the Loft Service Manager at Quantum San Diego. Quantum’s National Service Director Charles Saville said Grigsby’s sail-making experience is second-to-none, but it’s his passion for his craft that captured Saville’s attention. As the Loft Service Manager, he’s looking forward to combining his years of experience with Quantum’s high-quality service model to provide positive experiences for all of his

HELENA, Montana (AP) — Montana’s Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks is creating a new bureau to manage the prevention, detection and control of invasive mussels. The Aquatic Invasive Species Bureau will be housed in FWP’s Fisheries Division. The agency is searching for a bureau supervisor and hopes to have the bureau operating by March. Tests indicated the presence of the larvae of invasive mussels in Tiber Reservoir last fall, while suspect test results were received from Canyon Ferry Reservoir, the Missouri River below Toston Dam and the Milk River. The new bureau will double the collection of water samples to more than 1,500 at more than 200 bodies of water. Other efforts will include additional mandatory watercraft inspection stations and setting up watercraft decontamination stations at Tiber and Canyon Ferry reservoirs.
STATE Sacramento calls on cruise to bring historic ship to town SACRAMENTO (AP) — The city of Sacramento is calling for a river cruise company to bring a historic vessel to the Sacramento River. The Sacramento Bee reports that during the recession city officials helped keep Hornblower Cruises & Events afloat. Now, officials are asking the company to keep its
end of the bargain and bring a paddleboat or steam-driven vessel to town. Sacramento Director of Convention and Cultural Services says they want the historic vessel to be in the water by April 1 and doing commercial business by May 1. City documents show Sacramento issued Hornblower a notice of default last year for failure to operate a historic vessel. The cruise company now operates a modern boat called Capitol Hornblower in Old Sacramento. Hornblower officials did not return requests for comment.

A gray whale and her calf swimming off the coast of OC DANA POINT — A mother gray whale and a baby whale, otherwise known as a calf, were spotted gliding along the ocean’s surface off the Orange County coast. The gray whales are migrating this time of year to warmer waters in Mexico, where they feed and give birth before returning home to Alaska. These whales are known for being the mammals with the longest migration. Capt. Frank Brennan of Dana Wharf Whale Watching used a DJIPhantom 4 drone to capture video of the gray whale and her offspring. Thick fog was in the area, making visibility difficult, but then these two whales suddenly appeared, it was reported. Both whales are seen swimming for quite a while at the surface of the ocean with the calf staying beside the adult whale. The video can be viewed at bit.ly/2lR0KqD.

Incentives for vessels qualifying as a non-primary residence might no longer be available to boaters. By Parimal M. Rohit STATEWIDE — A proposal to eliminate tax breaks for owners of “second homes” is currently circulating in Sacramento after a San Francisco assembly member introduced a bill to rescind deductions and incentives applicable to qualifying vessels. Assembly member David Chiu introduced Assembly Bill 71 (AB 71) to change California’s tax policies to better address the affordable housing scenarios across the state. The bill specifically proposes to do away with second-residence tax breaks to help shore up public funding for affordable housing programs. AB 71 is one of four bills proposed in the State Assembly in hopes of what Chiu’s office described as an affordable housing crisis. Chiu’s proposal specifically addresses tax deductions based paid interest pair or accrued on mortgages for any property qualifying as a second residence. A recreational boat, in certain circumstances, could be considered a second residence. “The Personal Income Tax Law allows various deductions in computing the income that is subject to the taxes imposed by that law, including allowing a deduction for a limited amount of interest paid or accrued on mortgages for a taxpayer’s 2nd residence, in modified conformity with federal income tax laws,” a portion of AB 71 stated. “This bill would disallow that deduction.” Emails sent out by the Marine Recreation Association to its constituents in early February urged them to reach out to Assembly members and ask them to oppose AB 71. “This bill eliminates a tax incentive that can make or break the decision to purchase a vessel. If this deduction is eliminated, it will affect many aspects of boating, not just those purchasing vessels,” the MRA mass email stated, adding somewhere between 40,000 and 45,000 boats statewide are, if financed, potentially qualified for tax deductions based upon interest paid. The boats would also have to qualify as a second home or non-primary residence. “If just a small percentage of future sales are lost due to this change, it could have a significant impact on the many boating businesses that serve these boaters,” the MRA email stated. AB 71, if passed and signed into law, would take effect immediately, according to the bill’s language. Chiu stated AB 71 and the three sister bills aim to increase tax revenues to fund “production of housing for lowincome families, incentivize local governments to complete upfront planning and environmental review and approve housing permits to increase hous-
ing supply, fund the enforcement of existing state housing law by the Attorney General, and provide rental assistance to homeless Medi-Cal recipients.” He added the current deduction system results in a loss of $300 million annually in California boaters who have vessels as “second homes” could lose a tax break tax revenue. Chiu if an Assembly bill is approved and signed into law. Scrapping the incentive could help fund affordable housing programs, the bill’s author said. said such revenue

Law proposal would end tax breaks for second homes could be used to benefit low-income housing tax credits. The Assembly’s Committee on Housing and Community Development is currently considering the bill; Chiu serves as the committee’s chair. Other Assembly members on the committee are Marc Steinorth, Raul Bocanegra, Ed Chau, Steven Choi, Ash Kalra and Monique Limón. All four affordable housing sister bills were supported by Chiu and Assembly members Phil Ting (D-San Francisco), Anna Caballero (D-Salinas), Miguel Santiago (D-Los Angeles) and Kevin Mullin (D-San Mateo).

the Banning Ranch developer basically requested the Coastal Commission to eviscerate the record. “You made the decision because this project has reams and reams of paperwork that talks about the scientific evidence that’s been provided. We have been providing two decades worth of scientific evidence to this commission,” Ray told commissioners. “You certainly knew what Banning Ranch was all about. You certainly knew that Banning Ranch had this science on it.” The developer, in response, stated Newport Banning Ranch merely requested commission staff to take another look at its findings and revisit the issue again at the Coastal Commission’s March meetings. Schwing said Newport Banning Ranch was concerned the commission’s findings would not allow the developer from revisiting issues. “Clearly, what we have before us … is a significant difference of opinion,” Schwing said. “The applicant suggests … we didn’t come to any conclusions in [the commission’s] denial, other than additional site specific or scientific information was required to determine whether the project was consistent with each policy area raised by the project.” Schwing continued while Coastal Commission staff does give “great deference” to the agency’s adopted findings the developer could still submit additional information through a new application. Moving forward Newport Banning Ranch could resubmit its application for development, pursue legal action or reconsider whether to build the project. Some observers of the Coastal Commission contemplated whether Lester’s firing meant developers would have an easier time gaining project approvals from one of the most powerful quasi-judicial agencies in California. However commissioners affirmed its denial of the most recent Banning Ranch proposal on Feb. 9, almost one year to the date after Lester was dismissed as executive director. The commission fired Lester on Feb. 10, 2016.

A proposal to bring 26 new boat slips and a new restaurant to Balboa Marina West will move forward despite objections by local residents. Opponents believed the project would bring additional noise and traffic to the immediate area, while also diminishing views and public access to the water.
New docks, dining establishment approved for Balboa Marina West Expansion project would bring 26 boat slips to Newport Beach. By Parimal M. Rohit NEWPORT BEACH — Plans to expand and update a marina in Newport Beach was unanimously approved by the California Coastal Commission during the state agency’s February meetings on the central Orange County coast. A proposal to bring 26 additional boat slips, public dock space and onestory restaurant to Balboa Marina West in Newport Harbor’s Lower Bay will move forward after receiving the support of commissioners Feb. 9. Plans also call for the removal of existing riprap with a new landside riprap as well as demolition and replacement of a parking lot and restroom. Almost 10,000 cubic yards of dredging is proposed for the marina expansion and dock construction, affecting nearly 1,583 square feet of eelgrass beds in shallow water. Accordingly the developer is required to commit to an eelgrass mitigation plan. Newport Beach Harbor Resources Manager Chris Miller said the project’s public dock would create public access in an underserved portion of the bay. “The harbor community supports [the public dock] as being a suitable location in an underserved area of the harbor for public access,” Miller told commissioners. The updated private marina will have 131 boat slips, up from the 106 currently in place, according to Shawna Schaffner, CEO of CAA Planning. “This is the type of development encouraged by the Coastal Act,” Schaffner told commissioners. “We are increasing the supply of recreational boat slips [and building] a brand new public dock for the city.” The marina project is not without opposition or skepticism. Some speakers at the Coastal Commission meeting asked the agency to pursue a complete environmental
impact review of the project. A petition opposing the Balboa Marina West project, with about 300 signatures, was submitted to the commission, according to the quasi-judicial agency’s staff. “A large portion of the public that raised concerns with the project were residents of Linda Isle, a private residential island located just south of the project site,” Coastal Commission staff stated. Increased noise levels, loss of views, glare from vehicular headlights, lack of sufficient parking, traffic, public access to Back Bay Landing and potentially unsafe navigation hazards were among the complaints lodged with the Coastal Commission. Project plans were amended to diminish view obstructions, according to Coastal Commission staff. Coastal Commission staff said the project could potentially have an adverse effect on the California Brown Pelican and California Least Tern. A portion of the Balboa Marina West parking lot and waterfront area was once home to the Reuben E. Lee Riverboat restaurant (which was dismantled in 2007). The restaurant was later replaced by the Newport Harbor Nautical Museum. Balboa Marina West could be connected to the planned Back Bay Landing project should the latter be approved by the Coastal Commission. The original Balboa Marina was established in 1962 and featured 132 boat slips. Original reconstruction of the marina was initiated in 2003 and would only include 105 boat slips. The project’s applicants are Irvine Co. and the city of Newport Beach. Questions or comments about the Balboa Marina West project can be directed to Newport Beach’s Harbor Resources Department (Chris Miller, cmiller@newportbeachca.gov), CAA Planning (Shawna Schaffner, sschaffner@caaplanning.com) or the California Coastal Commission (Karl Schwing, karl.schwing@coastal.ca.gov).

Congress should actively monitor and regulate interaction between recreational and commercial vessels. By Parimal M. Rohit NATIONWIDE — An August 2016 onthe-water collision involving kayakers and a commercial vessel led to at least two critical injuries and one federal report urging the U.S. Coast Guard to be more active in managing the interaction of boaters, kayak users and standup paddleboard (SUP) enthusiasts with barges, ferries and other non-recreational boats. A report published by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) specifically called for the Coast Guard to actively monitor the interaction between recreational and commercial uses on local and regional waterways by establishing harbor safety committees and expanding boater education requirements. The NTSB report, which was published in January, also stated incidents involving recreational and commercial vessels could be mitigated through increased collaboration between local stakeholders, regional policymakers and federal officials. “Cooperation is needed because shared waterway safety issues are a
function of geography, vessel types, predominant weather, and other local factors. Local stakeholders working cooperatively are in the best position to address local issues through mutual respect and a shared commitment to safety,” the report, titled “Shared Waterways: Safety of Recreational and Commercial Vessels in the Marine Transportation System,” stated. “Because of changes in waterway use over time, this engagement is most effective if done at regular intervals,” authors of the report continued. NTSB staff reached its findings after investigating and observing vessel traffic and activity at ports in Chicago, Long Beach, San Diego and San Francisco. The investigations occurred shortly after three kayakers were injured in a collision with a commercial ferry on New York City’s Hudson River. Increased kayak use in local harbors and waterways was cause for concern among both commercial and recreational stakeholders. “Both commercial and recreational vessel operators in each port stressed the need for recreational vessel operators to be familiar with basic navigation rules. They also expressed concern for the safety implications of the continued proliferation of kayaks, canoes, and SUPs,” the NTSB report stated. “Outside of Chicago, operators, crewmembers, and other stakeholders generally believed that waterways were suffi-

Transportation board urges boater education mandates
A report published by the National Transportation Safety Board urged the U.S. Coast Guard to be more proactive in developing and maintaining boater education programs. California is expected to roll out its boater education and vessel operator card requirement beginning Jan. 1, 2018. All California boaters will be required to complete boater education courses and have a vessel operator card by Jan. 1, 2025.
ciently large or that their layouts were such that the interaction of recreational vessels with commercial vessels could be safely managed.” Generally speaking the risk associated with commercial and recreational uses of the harbor is connected to the level of education and knowledge, according to the NTSB. “The degree of risk appears to be influenced largely by a lack of awareness or understanding of the navigation rules among a large portion of recreational boat operators and by their lack of adequate boating knowledge and skills, as many of the interviewees pointed out to NTSB investigators,” NTSB staff stated in its report.

Other factors compounding the risk associated with lack of education or training include a lack of maneuverable space within a harbor, waterborne events such as regattas and fireworks displays, and various safety concerns not effectively addressed by local policymakers or officials, according to the NTSB. Federal officials ultimately determined stakeholders, policymakers and federal officials must work together to best address harbor safety. “The NTSB found that, despite often competing objectives, in almost all cases port stakeholders work cooperatively to enhance waterway safety,” NTSB staff stated in its report. “Cooperation is needed because shared waterway safety issues are a function of geography, vessel types, predominant weather, and other local factors. Local stakeholders working cooperatively are in the best position to address local issues through mutual respect and a shared commitment to safety. Because of changes in waterway use over time, this engagement is most effective if done at regular intervals.”

Dock Lines With Capt. Nicole Sailing vessel Lady Amber plays a key role in ocean research meteorology, whatever the volunteers want to learn,” he explained. Lady Amber’s current mission involves deployment, recovery and repair of scientific instruments for the University of Washington’s NASA-funded SPURS-2 project. The acronym refers to the second phase of the Salinity Processes in the Upper-Ocean Regional Study, gathering weather and oceanographic data, tracking ocean salinity, air and sea temperatures, rainfall, wind direction and speed and solar radiation. This information is critical to climate and ocean studies as well as furthering understanding of the role of oceans in affecting climate, the impact of rainstorms on salinity in the upper ocean and the structure and variability of rain events, explained physical oceanographer Dr. Luc Rainville, a principal investigator for the study.

If you’ve stopped by Chula Vista Marina in San Diego’s South Bay lately, you may have noticed a striking orangeyred-hulled schooner named R/V Lady Amber emblazoned with “RESEARCH” on both sides of her hull. What type of modern-day scientific research employs a sailing vessel, I wondered, powered by the ocean breezes to collect data? To find out, I visited Capt. Arran Flanagan, Lady Amber’s South African master, who recently brought her from La Paz, Baja California, for six weeks’ repairs, refurbishment and exchange. He explained Lady Amber – based in La Paz, Baja California, with occasional San Diego calls – is currently under contract to collect data concerning ocean salinity and rainfall’s effects. Last year Flanagan, an affable sun-bleached blonde workaholic who rarely has time to leave his vessel, took over as captain following the death of his father, Peter Flanagan, an avid sailor, scientist and adventurer. Peter had purchased the sturdy 65-foot schooner about 2005 and equipped her as a research and training vessel to use in gathering ocean-based scientific data while training volunteers as sailing crew. Arran sailed with his father on her first voyage deploying Argo oceanographic instruments for a 2007 The South African-flagged R/V Lady Amber, under the cominternational research project in mand of Capt.

mercial and recreational vessels through harbor safety committees was the first of NTSB’s four findings. Harbor safety committees, according to NTSB’s report, could “substantively improve safety between commercial and recreational vessels if risks are regularly identified, practices are developed and implemented to mitigate these risks, and these practices are shared with stakeholders and other harbor safety committees.” “All recreational vessel operators need to attain a minimum level of boating safety education to mitigate the various risks associated with the type of vessel being operated,” the NTSB report’s findings continued. “The Coast Guard should renew its efforts to seek legislative authority to require recreational boaters on waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to obtain education that meets National Association of State Boating Law Administrators or equivalent standards.” NTSB’s fourth finding stated a federal guide on multiple use waterway management “should be reviewed and updated at regular intervals.” Three of the five safety recommendations made in the NTSB report were directed to the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard should specifically seek authority to require completion a marine education course for all recreational boaters, establish a process to identify safety risks and develop mitigation plans, and work with boating law administrators and the National Water

Safety Congress to update “A Guide to Multiple Use Water Safety Management” at regular intervals. Each of the findings and recommendations were based on the NTSB’s investigation of multiple ports and harbors following the August 2016 kayak-versusferry collision in New York City.
Hudson River Collision Eight kayakers set off on a guided tour of the Hudson on Aug. 30, 2016. The kayakers were passing by a ferry terminal near Midtown Manhattan as a ferry was preparing to depart. “A commercial passenger ferry backed out of its berth, then turned west to head toward New Jersey,” the NTSB report explained. “The kayak tour guide attempted to signal the ferry captain by waving his arms, but the captain later told investigators that because of the glare of the setting sun he did not see the paddlers in time to avoid colliding with them. “Three kayakers, including the guide, were injured in the collision—two of them seriously,” the report continued. The ferry’s captain and crew rescued the kayakers and the proper authorities were eventually notified and updated of everyone’s status. Authors of the NTSB report stated

the kayak-versus-ferry event in Midtown Manhattan is case-in-point of challenges facing users of public harbors and waterways. “The New York City accident illustrates the dangers of recreational and commercial vessels operating on shared waterways, and several stakeholders had previously discussed with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) their concerns rising from an increase in encounters between these types of vessels,” NTSB officials stated in the January 2017 report.

the basis for NTSB to issue its report and recommend federal officials to take additional measures in promoting boater education and harbor safety. “Given the number of encounters currently observed between commercial and recreational vessels, the predicted increase in the number of such encounters, and feedback from marine industry representatives, the NTSB sought to better understand the scope of the issue and determine the extent to which the safety of our nation’s waterways is impacted,” NTSB staff stated in the federal report.
Commercial versus Recreational Operators NTSB’s report noted recreational boaters, kayakers and standup paddleboard users are not subject to the same requirements as their commercial vessel counterparts. Commercial vessel operators are mostly required to maintain federal approval or certification, while recreational users of local and regional waterways might be subject to basic education requirements, depending on the state or jurisdiction. “Most domestic commercial vessel operators are required to obtain Coast Guard-issued merchant marine credentials for which they must demonstrate knowledge, skills, and competencies gained through education and experience,” NTSB staff stated in its report. “Mariners operating internationally are subject to International Maritime Organization standards that govern knowledge, skills, and training, among other requirements. “In contrast very few operators of non-motorized recreational vessels are required to be licensed or demonstrate knowledge of the navigation rules, and many operators of motorized recreational vessels are exempt from these requirements as well,” NTSB staff continued. The National Boating Safety Advisory Council urged the Coast Guard to develop boater education requirements across the nation’s waterways. More than one dozen years later the council’s recommendation remains unfulfilled. NTSB officials made its initial boating safety recommendations in 1969. Additional recommendations were made in 1983, 1986, 1988, 1993, 1998 and 2014.

Standing Watch
EPA and California
ernment in protecting the environment. The question isn’t whether to protect the environment. The question is who is better equipped to actually do that,” Gaetz said in a Facebook Live video produced for his constituents. The freshman legislator from the Florida Panhandle said his bill, while proposing to do away with the EPA, would not abolish federal protections for clean water or clean air. “I got a lot of questions from folks on social media and email asking whether or not the abolition of the EPA would mean that we wouldn’t have clean water or clean air. That’s simply not true,” Gaetz said in his video message. Gaetz positioned himself as a “conservationist at heart” who believes environmental programs should be decided at the local level, not Washington, D.C. “I am a conservationist at heart. I think that as a conservative every once in a while you should want to conserve something. It’s one of the reasons why as a state legislator, I voted to secure more than a billion dollars in funding for our Everglades, to be able to restore water flow and habitats and environment for some of Earth’s most special creatures and one of the great areas of biodiversity that we have,” Gaetz said. Interestingly enough the legislation included a provision for state-federal partnership to restore the Florida Everglades. The introduction of H.R. 861 was also preceded by a request from a St. Petersburg, Florida lawmaker to have the EPA investigate recent deaths of nearly two-dozen pelicans in Tampa Bay. Pres. Donald J. Trump’s administration, in a separate move, announced a series of executive orders would be issued to reshape the EPA. Details of what changes would be included within each order was not made available.
Abolishing the EPA could have serious repercussions in California. Just last year the EPA invested $182 million in California to fund clean drinking water, wastewater infrastructure and water pollution reduction programs. California’s Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) receives grant funding from the EPA. The DTSC in turn uses the grant funds to implement copper reduction programs at local harbors and marinas. State projects, aimed at promoting marine uses of clean diesel engines, were also eligible for EPA grant funding. Beyond funding the EPA also establishes and regulates marine engine standards, which helps protect water quality. In 2014 the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and EPA worked with California agencies to restrict use of an herbicide threatening endangered salmon and steelhead trout. Two years earlier the EPA prohibited any vessel from discharging vessel sewage into California’s marine waters. “Even treated sewage can contain pathogens, nutrients and other contaminants that affect human and environmental health, and economic productivity. Prohibiting large vessel sewage discharges provides additional protection of California’s marine water quality,” EPA staff stated in the March 2012 regulation. How would these programs be affected by abolition of the EPA? Would California be able to fund its environmental programs or grants on its own? Would states in general not have any access to federal funds to assist in well-intentioned public policies? These questions (and potentially others) must be fully vetted before determining the fate of the EPA.
House Committee Hearing: States’ Rights vs. EPA
From page 6
Of course the EPA’s involvement with California and other states has been not always been praised. In fact publications such as The Hill, Wall Street Journal, Fox News and The Federalist Papers claimed the EPA either caused California’s historic drought or did not assist the state’s farmers who were in dire need of assistance in light of severe water shortages. In September 2015 the House of Representatives’ Committee on Natural Resources held a public hearing to address allegations of overreaching federal policies preventing the governors of Montana, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming from managing their respective energy, land and water resources amidst severe drought conditions. “States have significant responsibilities for the condition of land, air, forest, wildlife, and water resources, as well as energy and mineral development with their borders. These responsibilities promote and perfect the development of local expertise that cannot be replicated by federal bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.,” Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah) stated during the hearing. “Yet, the federal government frequently ignores such expertise, opting for a one-size-fitsall approach to regulation, and gives short-shrift to the states’ own regulatory actions.” A hearing memo stated federal mismanagement of certain lands resulted in an increase of invasive species and catastrophic fires. “Long-term federal mismanagement of Western national forests has led to overgrowth, an alarming increase rise in invasive species, and proliferating annual catastrophic fires,” the hearing memo stated. Some states allege federal regulations do not promote partnerships with stage agencies and increase litigation activity. “Federal over-regulation represents an ongoing threat to western states, as
it has diminished federal-state partnerships, and led to increasingly harmful regulatory decisions and a proliferation of litigation that adversely impact the states’ statutorily-defined jurisdictional roles and economies,” the hearing memo continued. The memo also acknowledged tension between federal oversight, and states’ rights has existed since the nation’s founding. “Since the founding of the United States, there has been an inherent tension between the role of the federal government and the states,” the hearing memo stated. One example cited in the hearing memo of federal overregulation was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) decision to regulate fracking on federal and Native American lands. States argued the federal decision did not factor in input from local experts and state regulations already in place. BLM officials, however, stated the final rule was complementary to state regulations and was based upon substantial public input. More than 1.5 million comments were submitted during a 210-day public comment period, according to the final rule. “The BLM reviewed and analyzed these comments based on thoughtful analysis and robust dialogue, which resulted in a rule that is more protective than the previous proposed rules and current regulations,” the final rule stated. “It also strengthens oversight and provides the public with more information than is currently available, while recognizing state and tribal authorities and not imposing undue delays, costs, and procedures on operators.” Federal officials stated its final rule would protect water supplies and ensure fracking operations were managed “in an environmentally responsible way.” The final rule also required fracking operators to “provide public disclosure of the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing fluids.”
TAKE ACTION Friction between federal agencies and states will continue to exist. Easing such friction is not necessarily a good thing. Could the relationship between federal agencies and state leaders be improved? Certainly. Abolishing agencies such as the EPA, however, falls short of improving federal-state relations. Perhaps legislators can seek alternative measures to balance states’ rights with federal oversight and assistance. H.R. 861 is still in its infancy. The proposal, which observers believe will not pass if it ever reaches a vote, was referred to committee shortly after Gaetz introduced the bill. Nonetheless changes to the EPA could still be in store in light of a series of executive orders Trump expects to issue for the agency. Please contact the following legislators and agency representatives and let them know your position on the EPA and Trump’s planned executive orders:

Officials will conduct more studies to overcome stateimposed TMDL restrictions. By Nina K. Jussila MARINA DEL REY — Numerous studies are being done in Marina del Rey to determine the cause of pollutants in the water. With Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) limits requiring Los Angeles County’s marina to reduce 85 percent of copper levels in the water by 2024, various tactics (studies, ordinances, outreach and grants) to combat this environmental issue are being pursued or implemented. Los Angeles County is currently under a state mandate to have Marina del Rey boaters convert to non-copper boat bottom paints or reduce copper paint use. “To reach this target, we will have to have 85 percent of the boats in Marina del Rey, which is approximately 4,000, using either non-copper or some type of non-toxic paint,” Department of Beaches and Harbor (DBH) Planning Division Chief Michael Tripp stated. A Stressor Identification Study in Marina del Rey was completed in Dec. 2016 and studied water sediment by taking out one element at a time. The study’s results were fairly positive, with minimal toxicity reported. Finding the cause of the toxicity, however, still remains to be seen, according to Tripp. Another subjective study looks at a certain region and determines what amount
of copper can go into the water before it becomes toxic. Permission still needs to be granted by the Regional Water Quality Control Board in order to conduct this study. A Fate and Transport Study will also be conducted to determine if certain factors have a significant effect on the marina.“If we used boatlifts, what effect would that have on our water,” Tripp said as an example. A consultant is currently being sought out to prepare a Contaminated Sediment Management Plan (CSMP). The county and the Regional Water Quality Control Board approved the CSMP in January, as The Log previously reported. CSMP will determine what specific marine areas are polluted with copper and how to manage that. Outreach programs are being implemented in Marina del Rey. A hull paint workshop was held. TMDL booths are being set up at various events. Flyers and fact sheets are being distributed to leases and boaters. A Dockwalker Program is in place to survey and educate boaters on TMDL. County officials also hope to receive feedback from Waterkeeper Alliance.“They seem to be having success with the noncopper paint that they are using. However, they take their boat out every day,” Tripp said.“With the water moving down your hull, it keeps down the fouling as opposed to a boat that sits in the slip and is taken out once a year.” Special ordinances on best management practices in regards to hull cleaning are currently being reviewed by DBH upper management. This would require a hull cleaner in Marina del Rey to be certified by
taking a course on Best Management Practices (BMP). California Yacht Club is already promoting BMP to hull-cleaning divers in Marina del Rey, as The Log recently reported. “When someone is overly aggressive in cleaning the hull, it puts a lot more copper into the harbor than needs to be,” Tripp said.“This is something that has already happened in other harbors like Santa Barbara, Boaters in Marina del Rey are currently under a mandate to reduce use Newport and Shelter of copper-based bottom paints after state officials determined the water Island.” there to be highly toxic and polluted.

The clock running on RIDA Development’s negotiating period with the Port of San Diego was set to expire Feb. 17 when the latter’s Board of Port Commissioners extended the timeline another 12 months. RIDA proposed to bring a convention center and large hotel to the Chula Vista Bayfront. If realized, the large-scale development would substantively alter the Chula Vista Harbor area. Both RIDA and the Port of San Diego now hope to come to an agreement on financing and other project elements by Feb. 16, 2018. Both parties previously hoped to reach some sort of accord by Feb. 17. Commissioners extended the exclusive negotiations period at their Feb. 7 meeting. The port district extended its exclusive negotiating period with RIDA several times
after the two parties agreed to discuss the planned development in February 2015. This month’s extension marks the fourth time RIDA and the port district sought additional time to come to terms on the Chula Vista Bayfront development. The negotiation period was previously extended three times in 2016 (February, May and August). Port district staff stated they need “more time to refine the proposed project with the recent improvements and negotiate the financing plan and a definitive agreement.” “Meetings with RIDA occur monthly to discuss the proposed project terms for the development of the resort and convention center and in December, as part of the ongoing negotiations, RIDA proposed a substantial improvement to the proposed project based on positive signs in the market,” port district staff stated. RIDA originally proposed building a resort hotel with 1,400 to 1,600 rooms near Chula Vista Harbor. Original plans also called for a 400,000-square-foot convention center on the waterfront. In all the convention center and hotel would occupy 36.5 acres on the Chula Vista Waterfront. Redevelopment plans for Chula Vista’s waterfront have been in the works since 2002. Chula Vista’s City Council and the
Port of San Diego rendering
Negotiating period for Chula Vista Bayfront project extended again
RIDA Development hopes to build a large hotel and convention center by Chula Vista Marina. However the developer and Port of San Diego are still trying to hammer out details. Both parties agreed to extended an exclusive negotiating agreement until February 2018.
port district approved a redevelopment master plan in 2005. An environmental review was finalized five years later. The port district earned approvals from the California Coastal Commission in 2012. A Request for Qualifications went out to private developers in June 2014; the request sought a developer to build a hotel on the Chula Vista waterfront. Port district commissioners selected RIDA as the project developer in October 2014. Both parties entered into an exclusive negotiating agreement in February 2015.
Commissioner Ann Moore, at a December 2015 port district meeting, said the Chula Vista Bayfront redevelopment project could yield 2,000 added jobs and about $1 billion in revenues. The planned RIDA project would be built near Chula Vista Harbor’s two marinas, home to 552 boat slips. Information about the planned Chula Vista Bayfront redevelopment, including who to contact for questions or comments, is available online at portofsandiego.org/ chula-vista-bayfront-master-plan.html.

– Zapata II
Boat name: Zapata II Year Built: 1964 Length: 50 ft. Draft: 7.5 ft. Beam: 10.5 ft.
PHOTO CREDIT
The Back Story: Zapata II, designed with speed in mind for racing by Wendell “Skip” Calkins, was custom built in 1964 out of mahogany and oak by American Marine in Hong Kong. This classic sailing yacht has always been in the hands of Southern California owners. Zapata II’s previous owners of 35 years, Jim and Marion Jordan, were diligent in preserving her. She was docked at the Jordan’s residence in Newport Beach “glowing in the setting sun” when her current owners saw her for the first time. Sage and Kelly Marie of San Pedro had different ideas of what they wanted in a boat. Kelly Marie desired a modern boat with certain amenities to get the most out of weekends spent in Catalina Island, according to Sage Marie. Sage Marie desired a classic vessel but worried about the upkeep required for an older boat. “I’ve always had a strong affection for classic boats because of their beauty, warmth, character, charm and uniqueness,” Sage Marie said. Sage Marie noticed Zapata II in a listing for sale.
He was in awe of Zapata II, but it wasn’t until he was at a boat show with Kelly Marie when he noticed her admiring a “big old steel-hulled center cockpit ketch.” It was then he decided to show Kelly Marie this classic boat. The very next day, the Maries went to the Jordan’s residence to view Zapata II. The Maries immediately fell in love with her refined yet sleek lines and her remarkable condition. “We were both instantly ‘boat struck.’ It was love at first sight. [Zapata II’s] beauty and charm won Kelly over, and the boat was in such perfect shape that it helped ease my concerns over maintenance,” Sage Marie stated. The Maries purchased Zapata II in 2015 and joined the Los Angeles Yacht Club (LAYC). They now appreciate sailing to Howland’s Landing, LAYC’s cove in Catalina Island and participating in various regattas. “We also enjoy taking her to boat shows, where it seems like there’s constant procession of local sailors and classic boat enthusiasts who have had some sort of experience or interaction with Zapata over the years,”

Sage Marie stated. They are directing their efforts on maintenance and upkeep, so there are no restoration plans at the moment for this 53-year old yacht. The Name: Zapata II was named after the Mexican revolutionary leader, Emiliano Zapata. “At times I feel like the boat is leading a revolution against us,” Sage Marie said. The Berth: Holiday Harbor, San Pedro.

Study underway to determine the exact cause of the erosion and best long-term solution. By Nina K. Jussila AVALON — As Southern California continues to get pounded with stormy weather, Catalina Island focuses on repairing the seawall in Avalon Harbor. Recent weather conditions resulted in Avalon’s aging seawall going from bad to worse, according to city officials. “The undermining of the seawall in the harbor has been going on for several years, but it appears to have been accelerated recently by climate events,” Avalon City Manager David Jinkens stated. “Temporary fixes have been made over the last few month where water got behind the seawall and eroded the adjacent land area.” Seawalls prevent too much sand from spilling into the bay and making it too shallow for boats. Seawalls need to be maintained in order to remain effective as a division between land and
sea. “The city’s seawall in the harbor needs to be repaired (and maybe replaced in portions) because of shifting waters that are undermining the foundation of the wall,” Jinkens told The Log. Before repairing the seawall, a study is underway to determine the cause of the erosion. Once the reason for the deteriorating seawall is determined, recommendations can be proposed as to how best to repair and/or replace portions of the seawall. The city of Avalon authorized Michael Baker International to conduct the study, which has already begun. The cost of the study is $49,000, according to Jinkens. The results of the study are expected to be reported in approximately two months. Avalon city staff would then need to secure further funding from state and federal grants to pay for the repair work. “The city’s desire is to see appropriate repair and/or replacement work done, and the sand that once existed at South Beach returned there,” Jinkens said.

Breaking Waves in Redondo Beach
Norie Martin photo
The breakwater near King Harbor Yacht Club’s marina in Redondo Beach was inundated with heavy storm waves after one of the season’s heaviest rainfalls during the weekend of Feb. 17. Severe waves and weather conditions interfered with SCYA Midwinter Regatta events planned at several yacht clubs along the Southern California coast on Feb. 17 and 18. King Harbor Yacht Club Staff Commodore Jerry Martin said “towering waves” damaged vehicles parked at the club’s parking lot. “Five people seriously injured by waves and water in the parking lot. The club itself may have sustained some damage, and the race committee boat, on Feb 18th, got caught in the breaking surf for a brief moment. We lost the marks almost to the beach,” Martin said. King Harbor YC’s racing team still made it out onto the water on Feb. 19, according to a statement released by the club. Four of the 26 yacht clubs were scheduled to compete in the SCYA Midwinter Regatta either rescheduled or cancelled participation due to stormy conditions.

Maurer Marine continues its family-owned traditions Maurer Marine opened in Newport Beach in 1977 by Craig Maurer and his wife Jay. It continues to be family-owned and operated, located just minutes from Newport Bay. About 40 years later the business continues to stay in family hands, with Craig and Jay’s son and daughter joining the team. “Our son Garrett is our lifeline in our parts and customer service area,” Jay Maurer said. “He came here after getting his business degree from ASU and we don’t know what we do without him.” Brynn Maurer graduated from USF, played professional volleyball in Europe, earned her MBA and now is a key employee with her art and design skills. “She really adds another dimension to our business with her abilities to handle the parts desk, manage the shipping center, help in sales and be our driver for picking up and delivering boats!” In her free time she enjoys boating, hunting, jogging with the family labs and enjoying her passion of taxidermy. Also new to Maurer Marine is Katie Andersen, who like Brynn, learned the mechanics of motors and boating from her brother and father. Hailing from Florida, she has relocated and Maurer Marine is very happy to have her in their parts department. Maurer Marine assists customers with their respective boating needs, primarily focusing on Yamaha, Mercury Marine or your Suzuki Outboard motors. Its boat lines include Avon Inflatables, Zodiac Boats, Novurania Inflatables and Walker Bay.

View the competition between high caliber skippers from the Belmont pier March 24-26. By Nina K. Jussila LONG BEACH — Ficker Cup, a world sailing Grade Two and World Match Racing Tour event, takes place off the Belmont Pier in Long Beach, where spectators can watch from March 24 to 26. Ficker Cup is the first of two backto-back sailing events with boats that have a single hull. The top two skippers from this regatta advance to the Congressional Cup, the second of the monohull world class events leading up to the World Championship. Johnie Berntsson from Sweden won the Ficker Cup last year, with Scott Dickson of the United States coming in second place. Scott Dickson is back in the race this year. Eight skippers will compete in this
3-day sailing event. This year’s competing skippers include Harry Price from Australia and Vladimir Lipavsky of Russia. The teams from the United States will be led by Nevin Snow, Peter Holz, David Storrs, David Hood and Scott Dickson. The final skipper will be determined by the top contender in the California Dream’n Series. “This will be a very tough event in terms of the high quality of skippers and crews,” Kirk Brown, Long Beach Yacht Club’s regatta management chairman, stated. Crews competing in the Flicker Cup are provided with equipment and Catalina 37 sailboats. Both the Ficker Cup and the Congressional Cup are hosted by the Long Beach Yacht Club and follow the same course. The Ficker Cup was founded by the Long Beach Yacht Club in 1980 and named after William P. “Bill” Ficker. Ficker was the winning skipper of

LBYC Midwinter Regatta: Heck wins Farr 40 class, Marcus takes Schock 35 class honors “In the last race at the leeward gate, [Roland Duphily’s] Impulse was actually winning the regatta. We were tied in points when they went to the west gate and we went to the east gate. We sailed into and out of a hole and ended up winning the race. This fleet, in general, is really tightening up.” Moving towards the weekend’s racing Southern California was bracing for what was being called an “epic storm” by the media. Hammering the coast during the afternoon of Feb. 17 with flooding, downed trees and power lines, anxious sailors were wondering if the event organizers would even be able to get the regatta started on Feb. 18. The morning of Feb. 18 dawned with dark skies, moderate breezes of 8-12 knots and on-and-off showers. The race committee determined they had acceptable conditions for racing and took the fleet out, completing
LONG BEACH — Sam Heck and Merry Cheers decided that just having bought a new Farr 40 race boat, Viva La Vida, wasn’t quite enough. They wanted to race it, right away. So they entered the 2017 Southern California Yachting Association Midwinter Regatta through Long Beach Yacht Club, which hosted their class, and won in the first racing sailboat that they have ever owned. SCYA’s annual midwinter returned for its 88th year in 2017, with more than 25 host clubs, 600 boats and 2,500 sailors participating. Long Beach YC hosted two One-Design classes (with five Farr 40s and six Schock 35s) in its iteration of the annual midwinter regatta. “We were lucky and had good starts,” said Heck. “[Ray Godwin’s] Temptress was our race. They were fast and were always close to us.” “This was really fun for us,” said Cheers, “to get to race on our own boat… and win!” Robert “Bob” Marcus and his Schock 35, Code Blue, team took first place in their very competitive class. “This regatta was a lot closer than the scores indicate,” said Marcus. “We only won by half a boat length in every Same Heck (back left) and Merry Cheers (front left) and their Viva La Vida race.

Southern California fishing news
ALEXANDRIA, Virginia (LOG NEWS SERVICE) — California’s 2,795,253 anglers, who spent $2.4 billion while fishing in California, support more than 35,000 jobs and have a $4.6 billion impact on the state’s economic output according to a news release from the American Sportfishing Association and Southwick Associates. The information is from the 2017 update of Economic Contributions of Recreational Fishing: U.S. Congressional Districts along with a new series of one-page infographics, which depict recreational fishing’s economic impact on all 435 Congressional districts and the 50 states, ASA said. Nationwide, ASA said, America’s 46 million anglers generate more than $48 billion in retail sales with a $115 billion impact on the nation’s economy creating employment for more than 800,000 people. The information in the report
and infographics use data from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s 2011 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation conducted in conjunction with the U.S. Census Bureau. The study used mapping and population software to hone in on smaller geographic areas in a way that is particularly relevant to members of the U.S. House of Representatives. The report noted recreational fishing is the foundation of an industry involving not just the manufacturing, sale or provision of tackle and other fishing gear, but also includes services such as boat builders, hotels, restaurants and much more. “A top priority for members of Congress is the ability to identify jobs and economic opportunity in their districts,” said ASA Conservation Director Mike Leonard. “By identifying recreational fishing’s economic
impact at the Congressional district level, we can clearly show members of Congress that recreational fishing in their district or state is a tremendous economic driver and job creator. “Given the new Administration’s California’s anglers regularly frequent partial- and multi-day fishing expeditions throughout the year.

The forecast was announced as part of the commission’s preliminary discussions of annual recreational freshwater and ocean salmon fishing regulations. Conservation objectives for the federal salmon fishery in California’s Central Valley would apply to coastal Chinook as well as the Sacramento and Klamath rivers.
Specific details on bag and possession limits for the Central Valley salmon fishery will be presented to commissioners once the National Marine Fisheries Service adopts federal and international regulations in April. DFW staff presented an initial overview of the ocean salmon fishery on Feb. 8.

San Diego Report
Bluefin bites continue in February By Bob Vanian SAN DIEGO — February is not a month that brings to mind bluefin tuna fishing. However this year provided an “out of season” chance at catching a bluefin within 1.5- to 2-day range of Point Loma. The most recent catch was made aboard Excel out of Fisherman’s Landing, when an angler brought on a 104-pound bluefin over the rails on Feb. 15. The information I have is the fish was caught from stopping on a spot of breaking fish found outside of San Martin Island. This is the second bluefin of the 2017 season, with the first being caught aboard Eclipse out of Seaforth Sportfishing incidental to fishing for yellowtail below Punta Colnett during early February. The Punta Colnett area provided the best fishing of the winter season with a mix of yellowtail, lingcod, reds, bonito and assorted rockfish. The past couple of weeks have seen the bite fade a bit though with stormy weather entering the picture at times and with a large swell sometimes present on what have otherwise been decent weather days. The most recent report from the Punta Colnett region comes from private boater, Capt. Bob Fletcher of Fletch, who was out fishing aboard Pacific Queen out of Fisherman’s Landing with Capt. Drew Card.
They started the day fishing at the high spot area outside of Punta Colnett and found the yellowtail fishing to be slow. Fletcher said they saw a couple of small spots of yellowtail with scanning sonar but could not get them to respond to their baits and lures. After giving the Punta Colnett area a try during the early morning they ran down the coast about 15 miles to fish the Punta Camalu area. Punta Camalu has produced yellowtail action in recent weeks but the water temperature when the arrived was 59 degrees with no yellowtail activity. Fletcher reported they ran back up the line to finish their day of fishing back where they started. They saw a couple of more spots of yellowtail with their scanning sonar but that the fish did not respond to their baits and lures. They ended up picking away at some reds and rockfish to finish off their day. There has been occasional surface fishing activity on bonito and yellowtail around Los Coronado Islands during the winter season but overall, the surface fishing has been slow. The weather side of North Island has been the best area to look for a chance at locating yellowtail or bonito. Good news for anglers fishing on the United States side of the Mexico border: the seasonal two-month rockfish/groundfish closure in Southern
California waters comes to an end to allow fishing for rockfish beginning March 1. While the rockfish/groundfish closure has been in effect, anglers fishing on the United States side of the Mexico border targeted species open to fishing. The yellowtail and white seabass fishing has been rather slow during the past few weeks. The La Jolla region has provided the best chance at locating yellowtail or white seabass while fishing off the stretch of coast between Pacific Beach and the upper end of La Jolla. Within this zone there have been three areas where yellowtail activity has been reported. There has been a chance at finding some yellowtail action in the area below and outside of the Crystal Pier at Pacific Beach. The occasional showings of yellowtail in this zone have been reported at the hard bottom located below the MLPA closure zone at the lower end of La Jolla in 15 to 18 fathoms of water. Also worth a look has been the area outside of the middle part of La Jolla in 15 to 20 fathoms of water while fishing a short way above the MLPA closure zone that is located at the lower end of La Jolla. The third area that has provided a chance at finding some yellowtail activity has been at the upper end of La Jolla while fishing in 13 to 20 fathoms of water. In recent days there was also a
showing of yellowtail reported by a boat fishing at the Imperial Beach Pipeline. I did not hear of any yellowtail being caught but there were a few good-sized yellowtail seen incidental to fishing bass and sculpin. Productive areas off the San Diego County coast for the bass and sculpin have been Box Canyon, the artificial reefs outside of Oceanside, the Anderson and Buccaneer Pipelines, Carlsbad, Leucadia, the upper end of La Jolla, the Jetty Kelp in front of Mission Bay, the Point Loma Pipeline, the hard bottom to the northwest of Buoy #3 at Point Loma, the hard bottom to the southeast of the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma and the Imperial Beach Pipeline. The 2017 Southern California ocean fishing season is in it’s infancy but to have bluefin tuna a possibility in February gives anglers good reason to be optimistic. Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!

Fish and Game Commission’s leadership maintains status quo
A Spiny Dozen
ROHNERT PARK — After a whirlwind of changes in 2015 and 2016, the California Fish and Game Commission begins its 2017 calendar with stability and familiarity. Commissioner Eric Sklar has been re-appointed by his colleagues as the agency’s president. Re-appointed as the commission’s vice-president for a second consecutive term was Commissioner Jacque Hostler-Carmesin. Sklar has also maintained the same committee assignments as last year with himself and Commissioner Peter Silva serving on the Marine Resources Committee, Anthony Williams and Russell Burns sitting on the Wildlife Resources Committee and Hostler-Carmesin returning as chair of the Tribal Committee.
The appointments and committee assignments were made during the Feb. 8 Fish and Game Commission meeting in Rohnert Park. The commission transformed almost entirely in 2015 and 2016. Former executive director Sonke Mastrup left the commission’s top staff position in December 2015 and was replaced by Valerie Termini six months later. Three commissioners – Jack Baylis, Richard Rogers and Michael Sutton – stepped down from the agency a few months before Mastrup’s departure. A fourth commissioner – Jim Kellogg – ended his tenure on the commission in late 2015 as well. Hostler-Carmesin, Sklar and Williams conducted the commission’s meetings during the first five months of 2016; Gov. Jerry Brown filled the commission’s final two seats in mid-2016.
By Parimal M. Rohit Anglers aboard Triton out of Gail Force Sportfishing in San Pedro celebrate a rich catch of 12 spiny lobsters – all caught by hoop net – near Catalina Island on Feb. 9. Recent reports indicate some boats are finding and catching good numbers of spiny lobster. A share of this photo on Gail Force’s Facebook page stated current spiny lobster conditions are “improved.” The current spiny lobster season, which kicked off Oct. 1, 2016, continues through March 22. Report cards are due to the Department of Fish and Wildlife by April 30.
(Clockwise from top left) Yellowtail, yellowfin, bluefin and sheephead bites continue into February despite wet and windy weather conditions. Reports of bluefin tuna bites are starting to come in, as evidenced by this Facebook share by Excel Sportfishing. Yellowfin tuna ranging from 170.6 to 214.7 pounds made up the jackpot winning catches for these anglers aboard a recent fishing expedition aboard Intrepid out of San Diego. A 104-pound BFT was reeled in during a mid-February expedition. Old Glory out of San Diego shared a photo on its Facebook page of Jim Courson’s yellowtail catch near Colonet during the second weekend of February. Anglers aboard Old Glory returned to San Diego with 143 rock cod, two bonitos and the one yellowtail. Meanwhile Leon Barrett caught a big sheephead during a half-day-trip aboard Reel Fun out, according to a Feb. 13 Facebook post on Dana Wharf Sportfishing.

SALTWATER OCEAN FISHING REPORT By Terrence Berg 976-TUNA.com WEATHER HAMMERED YELLOWTAIL BITE: While the windy weather hammered the yellowtail bite at Colonet in Mexican waters this week, the 1.5-day boats out of San Diego landings focused on the rockfish this past weekend and found limit- or near-limitstyle fishing. Relentless out of H&M Landing had 21 anglers on its 1.5-day trip returning Feb. 12 and landed 210 rockfish. Old Glory, also out of H&M, had just one yellowtail for its 22 anglers, along with two bonito and 143 rockfish on its 1.5-day trip last weekend. Eclipse out of Seaforth Sportfishing was on a 1.5-day trip returning Feb. 12, and the 24 anglers on board landed 192 rockfish, 34 red snapper and eight lingcod. Chief, also out of H&M Landing, was on a two-day trip over the weekend and the 26 anglers on board had 518 rockfish and three bonito. LOCAL BITE A PICK: There continues to be a pretty fair pick on sculpin, bass, perch and sand dabs for the half- and three-quarter day fleet all along the coast. That action was reflected early in the week when the good
weather conditions returned. Thunderbird out of Davey’s Locker had a three-quarter-day trip on Feb. 12, and the 24 anglers on board landed 200 sand dabs, 116 sculpin, 106 perch and six calico bass. City of Long Beach out of Long Beach Marina Sportfishing had 31 anglers on its Feb. 12 half-day trip and landed 150 sculpin, 12 perch and one sand bass. Monte Carlo had 14 anglers on its Valentine’s Day half-day trip and landed 35 perch, 19 sand bass, 13 sculpin and three calicos. New Del Mar out of Marina del Rey Sportfishing was out with eight anglers on its Feb. 14 half-day trip and landed 15 sand bass, eight sculpin and four calicos. INSTRUCTIONAL CHARTERS: The 976TUNA instructional charters will begin again starting the spring of 2017. These trips are held from early spring through fall, offering advice to beginning or veteran anglers and on-the-water teaching of techniques for different saltwater species. These trips will resume in spring. For more information, check on 976-TUNA.com or call 562-3520012 for details.
