The Brigantine will no longer be responsible for deconstruction of former waterfront restaurants. By Parimal M. Rohit SAN DIEGO — One of the longest standing seafood restaurants on the San Diego waterfront will soon be demolished. The question was never if or when the demolition would occur, but instead who would guide the wrecking ball into the collection of restaurants once operated by Anthony’s Fish Grotto. Commissioners with the Port of San Diego formally decided, July 11, the regional quasi-judicial agency would oversee the demolition of a building once home to several restaurants on the Downtown San Diego waterfront, including Anthony’s. Demolishing the former restaurant building would facilitate the redevelopment of the Anthony’s location as Portside Pier by The Brigantine. The port district had previously approved a Coastal Development Permit for The Brigantine to demolish the former Anthony’s building. The Brigantine, however, no longer seeks

to be the demolishing party; Anthony’s also refused to perform the demolition, according to port district staff. Port district staff stated the demolition is necessary to prevent the vacated building from becoming an attractive public nuisance with constant threats of trespass and disrepair. The building is also beyond restoration or other forms of reuse, port staff added. At least one commissioner believed the port district had to move forward with the demolition of the Anthony’s structure, as it would allow The Brigantine to realize its plans for Portside Pier. Commissioner Dan Malcolm told his colleagues the benefits of this project outweigh its costs. “The benefits to the public of pushing this project forward more than make up for any burden we may have with issuing a [permit],” Malcolm said. The addition of a public dock could go a long way in moving people around the Downtown San Diego waterfront without increasing terrestrial vehicle traffic, Malcolm told his colleagues. “We as a board need to realize we need to constantly be thinking of that water mobility piece when we’re doing new development along the water,”

The Exbury Egg: A Floating, Self-Sustaining Dwelling 2C

ENGLAND — An egg-shaped vessel once used as a floating residence is now a traveling exhibition. The idea of the egg-shaped floating home was hatched several years ago by British artist Stephen Turner. Turner teamed up with Space Place & Urban Design (SPUD) and architects PAD Studio to design the Exbury Egg, named after the Beaulieu River, previously called River Exe, in the Hampshire region of England. A boat builder, Paul Baker, and naval architect, Stephen Payne, were also involved in the creation of this vessel. The vessel was shaped as an egg to symbolize life in a changing environment.

Nick Cyr says he was reading a book on his boat with two lines out on July 18 in Rye when the tuna bit one of the lines. He tells WBZ-TV he could immediately tell it was a big fish, the biggest he’s reeled in a decade of tuna fishing. Cyr says the fish spun the boat in circles and dragged it for

“If the ‘Exbury Egg’ symbolises fertility, birth and renewal, it is, equally, a reminder of our difficult relationship with nature and of the heavy footprints that mark our path as we bestride the planet,” Turner was quoted as saying.

A regional water quality board will host a workshop on TMDL and copper reduction initiatives, Aug. 23. Officials hope to develop site-specific objectives after the workshop to help Los Angeles County meet its copper reduction mandates by March 2024.

Public workshop to hash out Marina del Rey’s dissolved copper objectives L.A. County and regional water board seeks input for sitespecific planning. By Parimal M. Rohit MARINA DEL REY — A state and regional effort to reduce dissolved copper levels in the waters of Marina del Rey could be entering another phase as the California Water Boards seeks to develop site-specific objectives for Los Angeles County’s Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) goals. The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board is hosting a public workshop, Aug. 23, to initiate the development of site-specific objectives for dissolved copper in Marina del Rey Harbor. The Aug. 23 workshop will be held in Downtown Los Angeles. Developing such site-specific objectives would help state and county officials track and reduce dissolved copper levels in the harbor by March 2024. The development of site-specific objectives is part of the overall strategy to reduce copper loads in Marina del Rey; other strategic steps include continuous research efforts and execution of pilot projects. Water Boards staff released a policy justification report on site-specific objectives for dissolved copper goals in Marina del Rey in April and stated county officials must implement multiple plans in order to meet their TMDL mandate. “The implementation strategy to address dissolved copper in [Marina del Rey] Harbor requires a multipronged approach to restore and maintain water quality for the designated beneficial uses,” the Water Boards policy justification report stated. “From identifying grants to fund boat paint conversion to hosting educational workshops to building incentive-based

lease agreements, the county is committed to be an active participant in supporting programs that will improve water quality in [Marina del Rey] Harbor.” State, regional and county staffs are expected to build public awareness of copper’s effects in the water and gain support of alternative paint use and best management practices. The Aug. 23 public workshop, according to the Water Boards, would ultimately inform what actions state and county officials need to take to reduce copper loads in Marina del Rey’s waters to mandated levels by 2024. “The site-specific information will help the County to develop and identify more effective implementation options to reduce dissolved copper discharge from boats in [Marina del Rey] Harbor,” Water Boards staff stated in the policy justification report. A 2014 mandate by the regional water board required Marina del Rey to reduce copper loading by 85 percent within 10 years. County officials have reportedly been encouraging Marina del Rey boaters to use non-toxic antifouling paints on their respective hulls as part of an effort to reduce copper discharge from recreational vessels. Part of the county’s efforts would include a pilot program aiming to reduce copper discharge from “official” vessels, such as harbor patrol boats. “It is hoped that through regular communication with the community, non-toxic [anti-fouling paints] can be identified as effective in [Marina del Rey] Harbor and thereby more supported by the boating community,” the Water Boards’ policy justification report stated. “To better understand the boating community behaviors, the county is developing a pilot study to evaluate the most effective approaches to gain public support for the use See MDR TMDL page 13

Re: Catalina Island: Home of Southern California’s Hidden Treasures (July 14-27 issue)

Catalina more costly than Caribbean While it might have something for everyone, the natives have out-priced tourism for themselves. Using any online travel service (or even the old-fashioned human travel agent), it’s easily more affordable to visit the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, including a round trip flight! Perhaps that’s exactly what native Catalina Island residents want – less visitors that are willing to spend ridiculous sums of cash for

U.S. Coast Guard Documentation: Know Your Paperwork Read the application’s fine print to be sure you’re not unnecessarily filing through a third party. By Parimal M. Rohit SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — The devil is always in the details – and this rings especially true whenever a “Vessel Renewal Courtesy Notice” shows up in your mailbox. Maintain a vigilant eye whenever you receive such a notice, as not all renewal notifications are created equally. There are times when a third party, not the U.S. Coast Guard, sends you a renewal notice. The notices themselves look official and might lead you to believe it was mailed directly from the Coast Guard. To be fair there are plenty of legitimate third party document filing services, such as Mary Conlin in Newport Beach and Dona Jenkins in San Diego. Both offer document-assisting services to commercial and recreational boaters. Nonetheless boat owners should be savvy when reviewing renewal notices for their

Certificates of Documentation, or CODs. Third party service providers, as they are known, often charge additional fees to file the same paperwork boaters can complete on their own. Third party service providers often assist with the paperwork process, Frank Boice, a vessel examiner with the Coast Guard, told The Log. Oftentimes a third party might come in handy to deal with certain complexities of the application or renewal process – especially when it comes to the vessel’s flag or potential commercial operations. Boice advised boaters to study the renewal notice closely. While the notices might all look alike at first glance, there are always clues as to whether the correspondence was sent directly from the Coast Guard or a third party service provider. The Log recently reviewed a notice letter sent to one of our readers and found language indicating the correspondence was sent from a private party. “U.S. Vessel Documentation, a private firm, has assisted thousands of boaters in applying See STANDING WATCH page 8

An NMMA report, published July 18, found recreational marine expenditures are up 3.2 percent.

Recreational marine expenditures reach $36 billion What Happened: The National Marine Manufacturer’s Association (NMMA) released its latest in a series of statistical reports, July 18, and reported expenditures in the recreational marine space hit a high of $36 billion in 2016 – up 3.2 percent from 2015. The reported statistics are part of NMMA’s 2016 U.S. Recreational Boating Statistical Abstract and includes data from 2004 to 2016. Spending on new boats in 2016 was estimated to be about $9 billion, or 7.6 percent higher than 2015 levels, according to NMMA. Meanwhile spending on pre-owned recreational boats was reportedly $9.2 billion in 2016, up about 2 percent from the previous year. What’s On Tap: NMMA plans to release the

Re: Marina del Rey could require certification for hull cleaning (June 30-July 13 issue)

Certification for cleaning hull is bull I read with interest your story about Marina Del Rey and the coming requirements for hull cleaning. I understand they are trying to meet the California standards that are being changed to eliminate copper in the water. However it is becoming apparent this is once again a money grab as California legislators look at ways to continue to make money off of all of us “rich” boaters. In their mind, if you own a boat you must be rich even if it’s a 25-foot powerboat you bought at auction for $5000 and you pay $250 a month for a slip. You are rich and you deserve to be taxed to the maximum so that you may enjoy your sport. I’m sure the legislature has looked at bottom cleaning and realized they are not making any money off of that and yet it’s a business going on every day in marinas all over the state. So I’ll tell you where this is eventually going to lead; we will be forced to haul out our boat on a weekly or monthly basis at a local marina ship yard that they can tax and then be forced to have our bottoms professionally cleaned because Joe, the local diver, didn’t attend the class and therefore can’t do bottoms anymore – eventually they will tax the divers out of the water or penalize them or fine them if they continue to work.

Newport Beach Harbor Commission elects new officers What Happened: The Newport Beach Harbor Commission appointed a new chair, vice-chair and secretary at its July 12 meeting. Commissioner William Kenney was elected as the new commission chair. The seat for vice-chair was filled by David Girling, with Scott Cunningham elected as secretary. All three annual positions were voted unanimously by the commissioners present at the meeting. Commissioner Duncan McIntosh was not present. Paul Blank, John Drayton, Ira Beer and McIntosh are also on the Harbor Commission. The meeting began with a welcome to the two new harbor commissioners, Cunningham and Beer, followed by a quick election of officers. What’s On Tap: Newly elected Harbor Commission Chair Kenney, Vice-Chair Girling and Secretary Cunningham will hold these annual positions until July 2018. -- Nina K. Jussila

Then as cleaning your bottom becomes prohibitively expensive, we will all sell our boats and go to trailered boats. Then they will double and triple the launch ramp fees trying to make up money they’re losing, because the marinas no longer have boats in them (such as my marina which is now experiencing about a 20-25 percent vacancy rate).

An Appreciation: Remembering Stella, “the Jewel of Shelter Island” Story and photos by Capt. Nicole Sours Larson SAN DIEGO — The distinctive voice familiar to Shelter Island denizens sings no more. Stella, devoted companion of Yacht Docktor Randy Spicer, crossed the Rainbow Bridge July 7, following slowly declining health. While suffering from severe arthritis for many years, she succumbed to kidney failure, he explained. She was 15 or 16. The golden-haired rescue of indeterminate breed, beloved by so many Shelter Island regulars, was renowned for her enthusiastic howls as Spicer drove their truck – with Stella’s name emblazoned on the passenger’s door – along Shelter Island Drive. “They hear her as we go by” prompting smiles from friends, Spicer reported when Stella was profiled in The Log two years ago. Stella had an extensive fan club, whose leaders, locals Warren Foy and Mary Kelley-Foy, dubbed her “the jewel of Shelter Island.” They enjoyed seeing her on their daily dog walks. Far more than “just a dog,” Stella was

The same letter also informed the boater, he or she, “[is] under no obligation to utilize our firm’s service.” “There are third party parties who cover all the application documents and send them into the center, and obtain documents for the boat owner, on their behalf,” Boice said. “I have never seen a document put out by a third party that pretends to be very similar in looks to a real Certificate of Documentation – that would be a scam.” The Coast Guard issued a Marine Advisory in May to warn boaters of third party service providers. Safety Advisory 01-17 specifically stated third party service providers are not at all affiliated with or endorsed by the Coast Guard.

All registrations documents – such as Form CG-1270 – are processed at the Coast Guard’s National Vessel Documentation Center, or NVDC, in Falling Waters, West Virginia. “The NVDC is aware that there are commercial entities that offer to manage the certification/renewal process on behalf of vessel owners for a fee. The Coast Guard does not endorse any of these companies, and the companies do not operate on behalf of the Coast Guard in any way,” the marine advisory, issued May 16, stated. “Any fees charged beyond the $26 renewal fee, to include other fees found in title 46 CFR 67.550, or other agreements offered by such companies are in no way associated with the NVDC certification process. “In addition, these companies are not authorized to issue any form of documentation, including travel letters and/or permits that authorize operation of ANY vessel,” the marine advisory continued.

the third party service provider is a dead giveaway. Any websites ending in .us, .com or .org are not Coast Guard affiliated or approved websites. (The specific Coast Guard website for official COD paperwork is uscg.mil/nvdc/.) The vessel examiner added boaters could also differentiate a Coast Guard notice from third party notifications by reading what’s written on the second page of the letter – if there’s another sheet attached in the first place. The second sheet of paper would provide explicit instructions of where on the boat a boater must place the document number associated with the application/COD. The lack of such instruction likely means you did not receive a formal notice from the Coast Guard. Of course just because you received a notice of COD renewal from a third party service provider is not necessarily a bad thing. Third party specialists are actually valuable for anyone who does not want to fill out the required paperwork themselves (or don’t fully

understand the technical terminology associated with the administrative process). All vessels subject to the COD process must be 75 percent U.S.-owned, regardless of whether the ownership group is a collection of individuals or a formal corporation. The vessel must also be 75-percent U.S.-owned if you want to use it for commercial purposes. A third party service provider could assist applicants in verifying all legalities and making sure the boat owner(s) are properly filling out the necessary paperwork. Coast Guard officials are also available to assist boaters with COD paperwork. Boice stated a boater could contact any local vessel examiner and request assistance. Form CG-1270 is valid for one year after issuance and is required for vessels engaging in commercial trade. The form is optional for vessels of 5 net tons or larger and, according to the Coast Guard, “engaged in recreational use/activities.”

Newport Beach residents voiced their concerns regarding the Mariners’ Mile Revitalization Plan and were heard as city staff called off the plans – at least for now.

Plans to revitalize Mariners’ Mile in Newport Beach have been scrapped…for now Stakeholders and homeowners fight to preserve this stretch of Coast Highway and the surrounding area. By Nina K. Jussila NEWPORT BEACH — Plans to revitalize Newport Beach’s Mariners’ Mile village has another snag, due to the discontent of local residents. Negative public input during the Mariners’ Mile planning process has essentially caused the city of Newport Beach to scrap its revitalization plan for the coastal village along Coast Highway – although the door is not entirely shut to future planning. “The intent is to shelve this project and the draft Master Plan for further consideration following the General Plan update scheduled to begin in late 2017,” Newport Beach Planning Division Associate Planner Markana Nova informed The Log. “The General Plan update may be a 2-3 year process.” This marks the second time Newport Beach reverted back to square one in the quest to modernize Mariners’ Mile. The most recent plan encompassed modifying infrastructure, alleviating vehicular congestion as well as increasing pedestrian traffic along the stretch of West Coast Highway referred to as Mariners’ Mile, a 1.3-mile stretch of restaurants, offices, shops and marine activities nestled between the marina and homes (bounded by Dover Drive and Newport Boulevard). “The Mariners’ Mile Revitalization Master Plan was envisioned as a consensus building process to develop a vision for future improvement in the area based on the existing General Plan,” Newport Beach Planning

Division Associate Planner Markana Nova wrote in an email to The Log. “To date, the plan has not yet achieved this consensus in the community.” Many Newport Beach residents expressed discontent about widening West Coast Highway. “Regarding Mariners Mile Revitalization, I am opposed to the proposed expansion of Pacific Coast Highway to six lanes,” a Corona del Mar resident, Joseph Vallejo, wrote in an email to city officials. “I feel we would all like Newport Beach to be a destination and place to live, not a drive through.” The public are confusing the General Plan to expand West Coast Highway as being a part of the master plan to revitalize Marines’ Mile, according to city staff. “Many comments centered around the potential widening of West Coast Highway, which is an existing requirement of the General Plan and Regional Master Plan of Arterial Highways. While this was not a topic of the Mariners’ Mile Revitalization Master Plan, many commenters instead seek a reexamination of this existing widening requirement,” Nova told The Log. Public Work staff, however, discussed the widening of West Coast Highway at the public workshops for Mariners’ Mile Revitalization Master Plan. City officials also presented plans involving Newport Heights and Cliff Haven, such as diverting traffic onto Avon Street to relieve some of the congestion on West Coast Highway. The public complained about diverting traffic onto residential streets with no sidewalks, obstructing views and disregarding a nautical theme. These concerns and more were See MARINER’S MILE page 13

Self-fueling boat sails from Paris on 6-year world voyage PARIS (LOG NEWS SERVICE) — A boat that fuels itself set off July 15 from Paris towards the Atlantic, beginning a 6-year journey its designers hope will serve as a model for emissions-free energy networks of the future. The boat, Energy Observer, will use its solar panels, wind turbines and a hydrogen fuel cell system to power its trip. The $5.25 million futuristic-looking 100-foot catamaran will rely on sun or wind during the day and tap into its hydrogen reservoirs at night. It produces its own hydrogen through electrolysis of seawater without greenhouse gas emissions. During its 6-year journey, it plans 101 stopovers in 50 countries to meet people who are designing tomorrow’s future and to prove a cleaner world is possible. Originally designed in 1983 for offshore racing, the boat enjoyed a successful career in open-sea sailing races before skippers Frederic Dahirel and Victorien Erussard and a French research institute decided in 2013 to convert it into the Energy Observer project, which they called “the first hydrogen vessel around the world.” Since then a team of close to 50 people including navigators, naval architects, engineers, designers, and communicators spread out across France have been actively working to recondition and transform the legendary sailboat into a vessel of the future.

“There is not one miracle solution to combat climate change: there are solutions which we must learn to operate together. That’s what we are doing with Energy Observer: allowing nature’s energies, as well as those of our society, to collaborate. We are bringing around our project, the knowledge from companies, laboratories, start-ups, and institutions together,” Erussard said in a statement on the boat’s website. Erussard, former offshore racer and Energy Observer captain, and Jerome Delafosse, ocean explorer and filmmaker, are co-leaders of the expedition.

Florida International University’s marine scientists are recruiting NASA astronauts to help plant coral reefs on the ocean floor.

Astronauts help corals grow on the ocean floor off Florida KEY LARGO, Florida (AP) — Astronauts are helping coral grow on the ocean floor off Florida. Marine scientists at Florida International University are studying corals growing in deep waters. The Miami-area school reported recruiting NASA astronauts to plant a coral nursery 90 feet (27 meters) below the ocean’s surface in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. NASA trains astronauts at FIU’s Aquarius Reef Base, an underwater laboratory in the sanctuary. FIU researcher Mauricio Rodriguez-Lanetty said dives from the surface would be too short and risky to accomplish much in the nursery. But divers living in the pressurized lab for days or weeks at a time can work longer in deeper waters. Astronauts planted the endangered corals on tree-like structures made from plastic pipes in 2015. They’ve continued working in the nursery during NASA train-

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LOG NEWS SERVICE) — Representatives of the recreational fishing and boating community have praised the introduction in the U.S. Senate by a bipartisan group of senators of the Modernizing Recreational Fisheries Management Act of 2017. The introduction of the measure by Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker, a Republican, would improve public access to America’s federal waters, promote conservation of our natural marine resources and spur economic growth, the American Sportfishing Association said in a release. “This bipartisan legislation includes key provisions that will adapt federal fisheries management to manage recreational fishing in a way that better achieves conservation and public access goals,” Mike Nussman, president of the American Sportfishing Association said in the release. “Recreational fishing provides many economic, social and conservation benefits to the nation, and with this legislation, the federal fisheries management system will better realize those benefits.” Thom Dammrich, president of the National Marine Manufacturers Association said that NMMA applauds Wicker and his cosponsors for working across the aisle to introduce the Modern Fish Act. “When passed, this landmark legislation will modernize the federal regulations governing access to the public’s natural resources by boaters and anglers.” Wicker’s measure, Senate Bill 1520, was cosponsored by five fellow senators — Bill Nelson, D-Fla., Roy Blunt, R-Mo., Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, John Kennedy, R-La. and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va. The bill was referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. A companion bill, H.R. 2023, was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on April 6, by Republican Rep. Garret Graves of Louisiana.

STATE California rescuers free humpback snagged by fishing anchors CRESCENT CITY (AP) — Rescuers off California freed a badly tangled humpback whale caught by fishing anchors that were dragging it to the ocean floor. A rescue team that included members of the state’s whale-entanglement teams, fishermen, academics, marine veterinarians and the U.S. Coast Guard unsnagged the whale on July 18, after nearly eight hours of cutting off fishing lines, buoys and anchor lines wrapped around the animal, team leader Pieter Folkens said by phone, from near the rescue site. The trapped whale was spotted two miles off Northern California on July 13, and by July 18 it was struggling to breathe, Folkens said. The animal had two fishing lines running through its mouth, at least six fishing buoys wrapped around a fin and fishing anchors pulling its tail straight down, Folkens said. Once freed, the whale circled the rescuers’ boat before swimming away. Folkens, who said he expects the whale to survive, called that a typical response of inspecting predators. Fishermen in the rescue took it as the animal thanking them, he said. Spokesman Michael Milstein of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the agency will try to identify the shrimping vessels believed responsible for the lines. It was the seventh instance this year of humpbacks caught in fishing gear off the West Coast. Conservation groups have pushed regulators to do more to compel fishing crews to reduce the number of whale entanglements, including 54 humpbacks caught in crabbing gear last year.

California communities sue oil companies over sea-rise SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Three ocean-front California local governments are taking legal action against oil companies, saying oil giants have known for almost 50 years that fossil fuels are changing the climate and causing sea rise. Northern California’s Marin and San Mateo counties and the city of Imperial Beach in Southern California filed the complaints July 17 in California Superior Court. The claims name 37 companies producing oil, gas and coal. The Western State Petroleum Association industry group says it is monitoring the cases but does not comment on active litigation. The claims allege that oil companies, since the 1970s, concealed the harm of fossil fuels to the atmosphere and fought regulation. Officials in the three beach-front California communities say their residents already are experiencing flooding and higher tides from climate change and sea rise.

Fuel dock café discussion held in open session Avalon City Council deliberates lone proposal to bring a new eatery to waterfront.

AVALON — Catalina Island residents and visitors might have been able to enjoy some food on the fuel dock pier during Avalon’s Fourth of July festivities, but the local City Council is still trying to figure out whether it could facilitate the return of a more permanent eatery on the busy waterfront. Plans for a fuel dock café were back on the City Council’s agenda July 18, with Avalon’s elected officials reviewing options and searching for solutions. Discussions were held in open session; council members, at times, had previously discussed potential terms of a fuel dock café deal in closed session. The city hired a food vendor to operate from the fuel dock pier on July 4. But will a long-term food vendor ultimately find its way back to the fuel dock? Avalon appeared to be on track to have local residents Russell and Jenny Armstrong, who previously operated restaurants in the city, construct and operate a café from the fuel dock pier. Talks between Avalon and the Armstrongs stalled several months ago, prompting the city to issue a Request for Proposals, or RFP, for a new vendor. The RFP yielded a response from only one vendor: the Armstrongs. Of course the Armstrongs aren’t new to the fuel dock; they had operated a café there before it was damaged by a storm. City Manager David Jinkens suggested the council take one of three actions at their July 18 meeting: accept the Armstrongs’ proposal and prepare a new lease agreement; propose a counteroffer; or, issue another RFP. The Armstrongs, interestingly enough, were not present at the July 18 meeting. Council members contemplated several options with moving forward but did not want to continue with substantive discussions without the Armstrongs present. A meeting involving council members, city staff and the Armstrongs could be in the works. Jinkens added the Armstrongs might have still had a restaurant at the fuel dock pier had there not been a bad storm and a “deteriorating dock.” The Armstrongs also happen to be one of the last small business owners in Avalon, Jinkens told council members. One council member did not find the Armstrongs’ current proposal to be reasonable. “What is being proposed in the Armstrong’s letter to us is a 30-year lease at $36,000 a year. That is not fair to all concerned,” City Council member Cinde MacGugan-Cassidy told her colleagues. Patrick Alexander, former Casino Dock Café restaurant manager repre-

Avalon’s locals and visitors might have to wait a bit longer before enjoying a view similar to this from the planned Fuel Dock Café, as city leaders continue to deliberate plans for the waterfront eatery. Will the Armstrongs spearhead the return of a café to the fuel dock? Or will the city push for an alternate plan?

“I know everyone has run the numbers for years. I have been unemployed for years, as I’ve watched you guys discuss this and discuss this. I want to go back to work. It’s been a frustrating process.” – Patrick Alexander, the former Casino Dock Café restaurant manager discuss this and discuss this. I want to go back to work,” Alexander stated. “It’s been a frustrating process. “The last year we were in operation, we ran live music six out of seven days a week. We created memories there, and I wonder what value you put on that,” Alexander continued. Cassidy agreed the process has been frustrating. “One of my biggest frustrations over the past two to 2.5 years, we start over every time. We never build upon where we were. We had made decisions a year ago and now we are back to negotiat-

worked as fast as we could,” Sampson stated. “It’s not like we keep balking on things and pushing things back and pushing things aside.” Mayor Ann Marshall pointed out negotiations have been going on for two years. Cassidy suggested tabling any further discussions if they are still negotiating terms, especially when the Armstrongs were not present. Cassidy proposed a couple of tiered options. One option would be a 15-year lease with the following extensions:

one to five years at a rent of $4,000 per month with a 2 percent consumer price index (CPI) and no rent reconciliation; six to 10 years with the $4,000 rent continuing with the CPI and a 5 percent reconciliation or the greater there of; and, 10 to 15 years with any subsequent extensions at $4,000 per month plus the CPI and up to the 8 percent reconciliation. The other option would be one to two years at $3,000 per month with no reconciliation; three to five years at $4,000 per month at five percent reconciliation; and six to 15 years and any subsequent extensions at $4,000 per month plus the CPI and up to the 8 percent reconciliation. “I think after 10 years the rent should go up. If they can’t make the business work in 10 years, and you know it’s going to be success the minute they open… I think that 10 years should be more than $4,000,” Marshall stated. These tiered options would bring the Armstrong’s lease in line with all the other leases of the city and give the Armstrongs a 10-year period to recover the cost of the exterior building, according to Cassidy. The City Council meeting concluded with Cassidy offering to sit down with the Armstrongs and presenting the two tiered options despite Marshall’s comment. City Attorney Scott Campbell, Director of Public Works Bob Greenlaw and Jinkens would be present at this meeting as well. Council member Oley Olsen was absent from the City Council meeting.

of non-biocidal paints and other copper-reducing [Best Management Practices].” L.A. County’s pilot program would specifically monitor the effectiveness of non-copper paints on Sheriff’s, Department of Beaches and Harbors, and L.A. Waterkeeper boats, survey boaters about what worked or didn’t work with anti-fouling paints, and analyze the financial and logistical constraints of converting boats to alternative paints at local and regional boatyards. The county’s pilot program includes plans to convert 100 of its “official” vessels to non-copper paints. Marina del Rey has been subject to a TMDL mandate since at least 2005, with a revised mandate going into effect in September 2014. Restrictions on copper load allocations from Marina del Rey’s boats must be developed by Oct. 16. Los Angeles County must achieve an 85 percent reduction of copper loads (from baseline) by March 22, 2024. The Water Boards’ policy justification report acknowledged the proportion of Marina del Rey boats with elevated leach rates (due to use of copper paint) was unknown. However the report continued higher concentrations of copper would likely exist in Marina del Rey’s waters based upon a likely use of highly concentrated copper paints in Southern California. “Higher copper concentration paints are often preferred in warmer waters, like that of Southern

raised by the public at the Jan. 26 workshop and again at the April 20 Newport Beach Planning Commission meeting. A “Coalition to Protect Mariner’s Mile” was formed with home and business owners to oppose the city’s proposed plan for this area. The Mariners’ Mile Revitalization Plan, “being promoted by the City, along with a separate but integral proposal to widen [Coast Highway] to a six-lane artery, is the latest and potentially greatest threat to Mariner’s Mile. While paying lip service to previous documents such as the 2000 Mariner’s Mile Strategic Vision and Design Framework, which pointedly recommends against [Coast Highway] going to six lanes, the new plan would rob Mariner’s Mile of its unique character forever,” the Coalition to Protect Mariner’s Mile website states. Opposition to the revitalization plan obviously expanded to a larger audience, as city officials acknowledged they had to go back to the drawing board and rethink plans. “Based on numerous public comments received, this plan may be best reconsidered following the General Plan update where concerns such as the widening of West Coast Highway, development density/intensity limits, and height can be discussed on a broader scale,” Nova stated.

California,” the policy justification report stated. “Therefore, the eventual conversion of boats with higher copper paints to lower copper paints will be realized as the higher copper paints are removed from the common market.” Boaters, according to the Water Boards’ April policy justification report, have used copper-based paints to protect hulls from excessive fouling. “For many years, copper-based [anti-fouling paints] have been used to protect hulls of marine vessels from excessive fouling. The paints are designed to leach copper gradually over time into water, and the released copper acts as a biocide to prevent marine organisms from attaching to boat hulls,” the policy justification report stated. “The average life of copper-based paint is 2 to 3 years before repainting, according to [California Environmental Protection Agency] … and 3 to 4 years before repainting, according to a boatyard located in [Marina del Rey] Harbor.” The Aug. 23 public workshop will start at 10 a.m. and be held in the Pacific Ocean Room of the Los Angeles Water Boards office, 320 W. 4th Street, Los Angeles 90013; the Pacific Ocean Room is on the second floor. Contact Shana Rapoport at 213-5766763 or shana.rapoport@waterboards. ca.gov for more information about the workshop. Those who cannot attend the workshop in person can still participate by teleconference. Requests for teleconference participation must be made by Aug. 9 (two weeks prior to the workshop).

This was not the first time city officials made plans to make changes to this Newport Beach corridor and then put the brakes on moving forward. The city hired a consulting firm and held public workshops back in 2014 only to have the plans quashed several months later. Stalled plans to update Mariners’ Mile coincided with the death of Don Haskell and selling of Ardell Investments to a private investor. Haskell had owned a stretch of waterfront property on Mariners’ Mile, while his company, Ardell Investments, was a steady and long-term marine presence in the village. Newport Beach hired a consulting firm again and entered into a contract with PlaceWorks, Inc. on May 24, 2016. “The consultant contract for the Mariners’ Mile Revitalization Master Plan is $206,922,” Nova said. “City staff and the project consultant have worked on this project for just over one year. “The work to produce the draft Master Plan has been productive and will not go waste as the plan is refined in the future,” Nova continued. Newport Beach City Council designated six revitalization areas within its municipality in 2011. Mariners’ Mile is the final vicinity being studied.

On-the-Water Safety: What Could Go Wrong? Everything …

Standup paddleboard traffic has become a regular activity at harbors across Southern California. What steps should you take to ensure you’d be safe while enjoying your time on the water? Are harbor districts and civic leaders doing enough to work with rental companies on providing precautions and safety measures?

Drowning of standup paddleboard user in Huntington Harbour is a reminder to be cautious. By Parimal M. Rohit HUNTINGTON HARBOUR — The peak of summer means hundreds – if not thousands – of people are in or on the water at any given time. Every year a small percentage of those people succumb to a life-ending event, one he or she could have been prevented. Case-in-point: a young man reportedly died after falling off his standup paddleboard and drowning in not-sodeep waters in Huntington Harbour. A 26-year-old Lakewood, California resident was reportedly on a paddleboard when he fell off and became submerged. He was not wearing a personal flotation device (PFD) and did not know how to swim, according to multiple news reports. The man was discovered about 25 minutes after he fell, news reports continued. Attempts to resuscitate him reportedly failed, and he was declared dead later in the day. The tragic event at Huntington Harbour is a reminder of the risks involved with being on the water – and the importance to be as safe and responsible as possible.

Personal Flotation Devices Could the loss of life have been prevented? The hindsight answer is a nonjudgmental yes. Standup paddleboards and kayaks might be nimble, low-maintenance vessels, but there is little to nothing protecting you from falling into the water should something go wrong. Wearing a PFD is a solid line of defense. PFD aren’t an absolute defense, of course. The U.S. Coast Guard cited 51

deaths involving PFDs in 2006 (compared to 423 drowning deaths in the same year, all reportedly without some sort of PFD). “In the majority of cases, other contributing factors would have overcome the benefits of any PFD,” the Coast Guard stated in an informational piece on PFD selection. “The factors include: being trapped in an overturned boat, being held under a boulder or log by the strong currents of white water, removing the PFD for some reason (like swimming to shore), becoming hypothermic due to the duration of exposure in cold water, suffering other injuries that led to drowning, etc.” Cmdr. Kim Pickens of the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve pointed out about 80 percent of drowning deaths are the result of not wearing a life vest or PFD. Pickens added, however, canoers and kayakers actually have a higher life vest or PFD wear rate than other boating populations. She also pointed out paddle vessel users face a different set of risks. Some of these risks play a substantive factor in whether someone safely survives a mishap. “Frequently paddle alone or with only one other person, and the vessels they use are by design relatively unstable and prone to frequent capsizings. And paddlers are particularly at risk for a dangerous situation called entrapment,” Pickens said. “Entrapment occurs when the vessel or the boater becomes snagged on rocks or debris at some hazardous point, then goes under due to the severe hydraulics of the water, and the boater [or paddler] is either unable to escape the craft or unable to escape the hydraulic pressures on him or her. “The boater [or paddler] is unable to escape the forces on him/her no matter what kind of PFD the boater has on, and the resulting cause of death would be drowning,” Pickens continued.

Rental Companies Hodgepodge Regulations? News reports indicated the Huntington Harbour drowning victim was on a rented standup paddleboard. There are certain things to ask about or pay attention to whenever renting a paddleboard or kayak from a local outlet. Does the rental company require you to wear PFDs before heading out onto the water? Do they offer any formal or informal training ahead of your excursion? Are you informed of the rules of the road? Is there a dedicated portion of navigable waters dedicated to SUPs and kayaks? OEX Sunset Beach, Sunset Rentals and Huntington Harbour Boat Rentals are among the handful of boat, kayak or SUP rental destinations at Orange County’s northernmost waterfront. Huntington Harbour Boat Rentals, interestingly enough, features two large and conspicuous maps of the Sunset Beach and Anaheim Bay region on its exterior walls. Each map has a directional red line tracing the harbor’s inner interior, essentially showing customers the path to follow while navigating the water. The map also advises boaters, kayakers and standup paddleboard users what portions of the harbor and bay to avoid (i.e. don’t cross under certain bridges or where not to navigate beyond). Are the rental companies regulated? Could a public agency oversee harbor operations at Huntington Harbour and possibly establishes guidelines for kayakers, SUP users and rental companies to follow? Should there be state or federal mandates to streamline safety protocols for recreational uses of local harbors? While each Southern California harbor and port district manages its own jurisdiction there are no set or consistent guidelines or regulations when it comes to ensuring kayakers and

standup paddleboarders follow certain safety protocols. Vessel rental businesses might be required to follow certain protocols to gain a permit for conducting their operation at a given location, but specifics vary from harbor to harbor. One question invariably raised in light of the recent drowning death is whether rental companies should require all of it customers to wear life vests or PFDs before taking a boat, kayak or standup paddleboard out on the water. Huntington Harbour, unlike other waterfront venues in the area, does not have a dedicated commission or agency regularly monitoring operations. Orange County does have general oversight at Huntington Harbour, and the city of Huntington Beach has been involved with the harbor in the past, as well. Nearby Newport Beach, however, has a seven-member Harbor Commission advising the City Council monthly on waterfront policies. A similar advisory committee exists in Long Beach. O.C. Parks oversees day-to-day operations at Dana Point Harbor; the South Orange County waterfront had its own, independent harbor department until 2016. Oversight agencies also operate on a bi-monthly or monthly basis in San Diego, Oceanside, Redondo Beach, Marina del Rey, Ventura and Santa Barbara. Issues across the channel at Avalon Harbor are addressed by the local city council as they arise, essentially making Huntington Harbour the only boating waterfront in Southern California without an advisory or regulatory oversight body to propose or recommend policies. Governance and policymaking can only go so far, however. Water safety, at the end of the day, is all about common sense. Don’t take anything for granted when you’re out on the water as conditions are unpredictable.

Climate change aid coincides with a study predicting significant coastal flooding by 2035. By Parimal M. Rohit STATEWIDE — Warnings of rising seas and changing climates are sometimes discounted as an attempt by researchers to maintain revenue streams, the result of “cooked” data or an overhyped threat of doomsday (which humanity will never, ever witness). Certainly there will be some who question the veracity of a recently published report stating certain major coastal communities in the United States could be subject to significant coastal flooding by 2035. Nonetheless the California Coastal Commission hopes its educational efforts to inform the public – regardless of the level of their skepticism or acceptance – of the potential effects of sea level rise will go a long way in arming communities with resources and tools to combat all that could possibly go wrong before the end of the century. The commission announced at its July meetings such resources and tools were recently published on its website. Policymakers and members of the public will be able to view various sea level rise data and statistics, comparison photos and information of what resources are at risk. The updated webpage – coastal. ca.gov/climate/slr – specifically aims to provide the public with information on potential impacts of sea level rise, while also providing policy makers with tools to better address any possible fallout of climate change. “The purpose of the project is to enhance decision-making about long-term planning and management of critical coastal resources in light of climate change and sea level rise,” Coastal Commission staff stated in a report to commissioners. “The project seeks to do this by providing the Coastal Commission, staff and others with informational products to better understand sea level rise vulnerability throughout the state, and to provide additional guidance and resources on how to address sea level rise vulnerability in the commission’s planning and regulatory work.” Coastal Commission staff stated the web tool provides an interactive map of what could happen within the next few years if certain steps aren’t taken to plan for sea level rise. For example there is a section on the Coastal Commission’s sea level rise webpage on vulnerability and adaption. The section provides a statewide report on what state resources are most at-risk to sea level rise. There is also a link to strategies communities and

governments can take in addressing sea level rise and other climate change issues. Addressing future sea level rise would ultimately require a combination of strategies, with solutions crafted to fit specific communities or situations instead of following a one-size-fitsall plan. “Choosing to ‘do nothing’ or following a policy of ‘non-intervention’ may be considered an adaptive response, but in most cases, the strategies for addressing sea level rise hazards Rising sea levels could start to have a regular effect on Southern California communities as early as 2035, according to one study.

Newport Beach to consider anchorage fee for visiting superyachts Harbor Commission also updated on status of dredging and eelgrass permitting.

NEWPORT BEACH — Large yachts are no strangers to Newport Beach’s harbor, as evidenced by the recent fiveyear residency of a 100-foot catamaran Cheyenne and frequent visitations by the 215-foot superyacht Invictus. Those mega-vessels may have to pay the city of Newport Beach a little extra money to drop anchor within the harbor, according to a recent discussion by the local Harbor Commission. Imposing an anchorage fee on superyachts visiting Newport Beach Harbor was one of several topics broached at the Harbor Commission’s July 12 meeting here at City Hall; commissioners were also updated on the status of Newport Beach’s Regional General Permit 54 (RGP-54), which allows for residents and local businesses to perform near-shore dredging.

Large Vessel Fees Establishing a fee for temporary anchorage of superyachts could soon be a reality. Invictus, for example, might be required to pay the city a fee every time she is parked in the harbor for days at a time. An anchorage fee might have been a useful tool to manage Cheyenne’s tenure in the harbor, as well. Cheyenne owner Chris Welsh kept his 100-foot catamaran, which he intended to use as a research vessel, in Newport Beach Harbor for five years without paying the city any fees. Superyachts have a couple areas of open water – one on the eastern edge of the second public anchorage near

Superyachts visiting Newport Beach Harbor could soon be subject to an anchorage fee. Large vessels such as Cheyenne and Invictus had previously visited the harbor under special circumstances but weren’t subject to a fee schedule.

Lido Isle – to drop anchor. Newport Beach currently charges superyachts an annual mooring permit fee, prorated on a daily basis. The offshore mooring fee is currently $35.43 per foot per year, and the current fee to a vessel around 200 feet long can range between $17 to $21 per day for temporary mooring. Commissioner David Girling said the anchorage fee must take into account what is being offered to boaters and work being put in by city staff to manage superyacht anchorages. A docking fee for a superyacht in other harbors can be as high as $3,500 per night (the rate in Monte Carlo), Girling said (though not suggesting Newport Beach assess an anchorage fee in the same neighborhood). Girling suggested the Harbor Commission look into what other harbors charge. “The harbor that we need to be looking at, which is near and dear to us, is Avalon,” Commissioner Paul Blank suggested. “The rate there is a $1.25 per foot a night.” Harbor Resources Manager Chris

Miller said the Finance Committee recommends the Harbor Commission Ad Hoc Committee provide a fee recommendation by September. The city’s Finance Committee could then include the recommendation in the fall fee schedule to be considered by the City Council in early 2018. While the Harbor Commission’s Ad Hoc Committee researches what other harbors charge along the California coast, Miller said he can work on getting the permit for a permanent seasonal anchorage at the same time. Harbor Commission Chair William Kenney and Commissioner Duncan McIntosh sit on the Ad Hoc Committee.

Eelgrass and Dredging Meanwhile eelgrass in Newport Beach Harbor continues to grow and expand – which has an effect on the city’s dredging activities. Newport Beach is unique in being the only California municipality to permit commercial businesses and residents to perform near-shore dredging through its RGP-54 program.

“Each individual project can dredge up to 8,000 cubic yards,” Miller explained. “That is an improvement over the past 30 years. “This is a good thing, because sailboat keels are longer or deeper than they were 30 years ago,” Miller continued. More than 47 dredging applications were processed in Newport Beach last year, Miller reported. “That’s a really big increase from one or two,” Miller said. “For many years, the RGP program was unusable, because many of the people who wanted to dredge had eelgrass, so no one applied. We impacted our maximum allowable impact for 2016 eelgrass that is just under an acre, which is quite remarkable because prior to that we couldn’t impact any blade of eelgrass.” The maximum one-acre of eelgrass has already been impacted this year with 19 applications, according to Miller, which means no further eelgrass can be affected by dredging this year; dredging would still be permitted wherever there is no eelgrass. “Properties that have no impact are still able to apply [for RGP-54 to dredge],” Miller wrote in an email to The Log. Testing sediment is required every five years, and is currently being conducted. Surveying eelgrass is done every two years. The next eelgrass survey is scheduled for summer 2018 and “should take about six months or so, with about three months of diving,” according to Miller. Those residential or commercial property owners with eelgrass can apply for dredging in 2018. “The annual timeframe for calculating eelgrass impacts restarts every calendar year,” Miller clarified.

By Parimal M. Rohit DANA POINT — Nordhavn’s Justin Zumwalt caught some post-Fourth of July fireworks on the water in South Orange County as a pair of Mexican Navy stealth vessels visited Dana Point Harbor. These boats might have been moving around out in the open for all to see, but no one really knew why these vessels were visiting Dana Point Harbor in the first place. At least three agencies – O.C. Parks, Orange County Sheriff’s Department and U.S. Coast Guard – had no information available as to why these two vessels were in Dana Point, let alone their agency of origin. There were also threads online about these two vessels, with some surmising they were actually part of Mexico’s

Navy. Even others pondered whether the Department of Homeland Security launched a pair of immigration enforcement vessels. The Log was eventually able to confirm both vessels were indeed part of the Mexico Navy fleet, as a few people on the internet guessed. The Mexican Navy often works with its U.S. counterparts north of the border, conducting operations in Dana Point and other Southern California harbors – although we remain unable to determine why the maritime branch of the Mexican military visited South Orange County’s only recreational harbor. A member of the Nordhavn team sent The Log photos of these two vessels on July 12.

SAN DIEGO — For many of us, simply owning a boat represents the fulfillment of a long-time dream, the ultimate summer fantasy for boaters (unless it’s acquiring the next boat up!). For others, a boat is the starting point to discovering a whole new lifestyle. While the relaxed summer schedules of yore seem a long-gone mirage, the more laid-back attitudes of summer fortunately survive. If you enjoy hanging around your marina or visiting nearby coastal towns, then be sure to explore local festivals, street fairs and other special events. Check out listings of increasingly common outdoor movies (sometimes with food trucks) and traditional summer concerts for a mellow, homey experience. Many communities sponsor free outdoor summer concert series in parks near boating meccas.

Redondo Beach continues to look at changing course on planned ramp. By Parimal M. Rohit REDONDO BEACH — Momentum surrounding plans for a new boat launch ramp appears to be shifting in a new direction at Redondo Beach’s King Harbor. A proposal for a new boat launch ramp to be built at an area some boaters and marine professionals argued was unsafe appears to be dissipating in favor of establishing the boater amenity at another – arguably safer – location. Redondo Beach’s Harbor Commission is in the process of vetting whether King Harbor’s Mole C would be an ideal location for a proposed boat launch ramp. Recent iterations of a revitalized King Harbor targeted Mole B as where the ramp should be built. The Harbor Commission revisited boat launch ramp plans at its July 10 meeting, about one month after the local City Council voted to reconsider where the boater amenity should be built. Revisiting where the boat launch ramp would be built indicates a poten-

tial change of course for the Harbor Commission, which voted in favor of having the boater amenity at Mole B in October 2016. Harbor Commissioners are expected to hold another public hearing on the issue, hoping to properly flesh out the discussion before (potentially) making a recommendation. A commission recommendation could come as early as September. A group of local boating advocates, citing the opinions of former harbor patrol officers and similar marine professionals, have consistently argued Mole B is an unsafe location for a boat launch ramp. Nearly a dozen boaters reiterated this position at the July 10 Harbor Commission meeting. Whether the boat launch ramp should be at Mole B or C has been up for debate for quite some time. Some city leaders and harbor managers supported Mole B as an ideal location for the ramp. The city, local leaders and officials argued, could build a ramp at Mole B faster and cheaper than at any location. Proponents for a ramp at Mole C, however, said a boat launch ramp at Mole B would be unsafe, as the amenity would immediately expose boaters to vessels navigating in the harbor’s

Future of King Harbor’s boat launch area still shifting

Could a new location for King Harbor’s boat launch ramp be on the horizon? City leaders appear to be vetting Mole C as a prospective location for a launch ramp. The most recent revitalization plans had a new boat launch ramp at Mole B, but some boaters argued it was too dangerous a location.

main channel. Lack of sufficient parking and potential loss of existing boat slips were among other expressed concerns directed toward plans to build the boat launch ramp at Mole B. The city held numerous workshops throughout 2016 to flesh out which Mole – A, B or C – would ultimately house a boat launch ramp, an amenity local boaters have been without for decades. City staff stated a boat launch ramp at Mole B would cost about $6 million to build; the annual budget to operate

a Mole B launch ramp was estimated to be $82,000. Similar numbers were not available for a boat launch ramp at Mole C. Where the boat launch ramp would ultimately be built remains uncertain, and the process will still take a few more months to play out. The Harbor Commission could make a recommendation at its September meeting, yet the directive must be voted on by Redondo Beach’s City Council before it is considered official – and even then, things can change, as events of the past 10 months have proved.

Infrastructure improvements also include personal watercraft launch area. By Parimal M. Rohit CORONADO — Major construction brings one San Diego area boat launch ramp to a near grinding halt, all while Coronado city officials and port district staff christened a similar venue nearby. Coronado and the Port of San Diego officially re-opened Glorietta Bay’s upgraded boat launch ramp, July 17, giving local boaters and personal watercraft users a modernized venue with new amenities. The opening of Glorietta Bay’s boat launch ramp coincides with the near closure of a similar venue at Shelter Island; the 10-lane boat launch ramp in San Diego was whittled down to one lane for the summer as port district officials began construction work on planned upgrades there (see coverage, p. 19). Coronado was the lead agency on the $1.29 million boat launch ramp renovation. The ramp’s concrete apron was replaced while an adjoining boarding dock was expanded. Upgrades were also made to the free public dock (made ADA compliant) and parking lot (resurfaced). New additions at the boat launch ramp are a non-motorized craft launch area, sandy beach and a boat wash-

down area. Repairs were also made to an area of riprap and a storm drain. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held July 17 at the Glorietta Bay boat launch ramp. Upgrading the boat launch ramp was part of a larger – and final – phase of construction at Glorietta Bay, which also called for the replacement of the marina’s Dock C. “Dock C improvements consisted of redevelopment, Coronado’s city leaders and Port of San Diego commissioners officially christened Glorietta Bay Marina’s new boat launch ramp.

Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp renovation officially underway

The port district added boaters should benefit from the updated boat launch ramp once it’s completed, and every effort would be taken to complete renovations as fast as possible. “This improvement project was designed with extensive public outreach,” Page said. “Our goal is to not only deliver on our promise to make the boat launch safer and more navigable, but also to minimize the ramp closure time and impact on our boating community.” Boaters are still expected to feel the pinch in the meantime. Only one launch lane is currently operational as the port district continues working on the remainder of the ramp. A portion of the trailer parking area is also blocked off, according to the same reader who was quoted earlier in this story. “They have completely fenced it off with access for one boat at a time.

Special needs children, family enjoy day on the water CSR Children’s Foundation’s Kid’s Day event provides oncein-a-lifetime chance to go boating.

LONG BEACH — Nearly 1,000 people filled the south end of Long Beach’s Marine Stadium, June 14, to give children – especially those with special needs – the opportunity to be out on the water as part of an annual Kid’s Day event. The late morning and early afternoon event, put on by CSR Children’s Foundation, provided families the opportunity to spend some time out of the hospital and at the beach. Attendees had the chance to speed in the channel on a powerboat or Jet Ski. Volunteers provided boats, Jet Skis and other vessels, which came to shore several times each hour to pick up passengers and navigate them around the stadium. The U.S. Coast Guard and the local fire department provided demonstrations. The Aquarium of the Pacific parked a mobile learning tank by the sand to give children a chance to learn tidbits about ocean life. A variety of land-based activities such as face painting and clown performances complemented on-the-water activities. Attendees were also treated to a free lunch by In-N-Out. CSR Children’s Foundation collaborates with local hospitals, caregivers and nonprofit organizations to bring special needs children and their families to the water. Kid’s Day is specifically geared toward those battling autism, cancer, Down syndrome, multiple sclerosis, Smith-Magenis syndrome, spina bifida and other conditions.

Two boys wave back to people on the beach as they take in a boat ride at Alamitos Bay’s Marine Stadium. Youth were treated to multiple circumnavigations of the inlet as part of CSR Children’s Foundation’s Kid’s Day, held July 14 at Marine Stadium. Boaters were not required to observe speed restrictions during the event.

The foundation’s mission is to create events such as Kid’s Day to give special needs children an “once-in-alifetime” opportunity to do something they otherwise might not do. Participants at this year’s Kid’s Day hailed from Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC), Karate For All, Miller’s Children’s Hospital and Tichenor Orthopedic Clinic, among others. CSR’s board of directors includes 15 members: Jody Campbell (chair), Chris Brown (secretary), Mary Labahn (treasurer), Jeff Barrus, Sharri Collins, Derris Douty, Rich Foster, Ray Jones, Krista Karr, Kyle Labahn, Paul Labahn, Skip Larson, Jan Maize, Loren Miner and Diane Quijada.

The Kid’s Day event featured long lines all afternoon, as children boarded powerboats and other personal watercraft from the beach. Kid’s Day offers special needs children and their families to enjoy a rare day out on the water.

Some children opted to enjoy the water on a floatation device towed by powerboat. Others accepted personal rides aboard a Jet Ski.

A father and his two sons watch another vessel prepare to take children and their families for a boat ride on the water. Boaters treated their guests to rides for as long as 15 minutes at a time.

Representatives of the supermarket chain were noshows at a July 18 City Council discussion on project. By Nina K. Jussila AVALON — The area designated for a new Vons in Avalon continues to remain an empty lot. City officials wonder when construction will begin on a planned market expansion for Catalina Island residents and visitors. City Manager David Jinkens extended an invitation to Vons management to attend the Avalon City Council’s July 18 meeting and provide an update on plans to move the supermarket into a new location. Apparently no one from Vons accepted the invitation, as the supermarket’s representatives were not present at the meeting. The city did receive a written response, however, indicating a commitment to move the project forward. “We will not be able to attend [the Avalon City Council meeting] as we work diligently to move forward with the next steps for this project,” Vons’

Public Affairs Director Jenna Watkinson wrote in an email response to Jinkens. “Vons remains committed to bringing a new store to the city of Avalon.” Plans for consolidating the existing two Vons at the island’s only municipality into one larger store have been discussed for several years now. The Log initially reported the Planning Commissions’ approval on building a new and larger market in Nov. 2014. Why the recent delays in building a new Vons in Avalon? “Some of the feedback from the residents took some time to capture as we waited on response,” Watkinson explained. Watkinson inferred recent progress has been made inching closer to a construction start date. The supermarket chain is apparently in discussions with a local homeowner’s association about resident concerns. Watkinson also alluded to delays being caused by city’s requests and residents’ concerns. “Please know that we are fully committed to complying with the requests for conditions of approval,” Watkinson stated. “This first step in meeting these conditions was done in a way that

remained thoughtful to the city’s requests, and the concerns of the residents. Work on the new Vons was expected to begin in April, yet the project still lingers three months later. The planned consolidation of Avalons’ Vons supermarket continues to endure A date to delays, as corporate representatives and city officials have yet to move forward with begin buildconstruction. ing a new Vons has yet to be determined. the new store in the very near future,” “It is our hope to be able to Watkinson wrote in her email response announce the ground breaking for to Jinkens.

LONG BEACH — As the season for wildfires is here, an upcoming fishing tournament honors one young fallen firefighter. The 4th annual Kevin Woyjeck Memorial Saltwater Fishing Tournament is scheduled for Sept. 1. Kevin Woyjeck joined the Los Angeles County Fire Department Explorer Program at 15. He then went on to various fire academies and wildland firefighting training programs. “When he wasn’t fighting fires, he was fishing,” his aunt, Kathy Munshi, said. Kevin Woyjeck grew up in Seal Beach and worked as a deckhand on fishing charters out of Long Beach, according to Munshi. He was always eyeing bodies of water as a kid asking if fish were in there, his father said. Kevin Woyjeck was the eighth firefighter in the Woyjeck family. His father, Joe Woyjeck, recently retired after nearly 37 years as a Los Angeles County Fire Department captain. Kevin Woyjeck, along with a crew of Granite Mountain Hotshots, died June 30, 2013 while battling a wildfire in Arizona; he was 21. Kevin Woyjeck’s parents, Anna and Joe, started an “Explorers for Life” association and a saltwater fishing tournament to honor the former firefighter’s life and passion for fishing. Funds raised from the Kevin Woyjeck Memorial Saltwater Fishing Tournament will benefit Kevin Woyjeck Explorers for Life Association, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides funding, scholarships and equipment to help those who want to become fire explorers. “The non-profit has done really well. We’ve given over $100,000 in equipment and scholarships to fire explorer programs across the United States,” Joe Woyjeck stated. The first 100 people who mail a check reserve a spot on one of two charter fishing boats, Enterprise and City of Long Beach. Mail a check in the amount of $150 to KWEFLA, 1077 E. Pacific Coast Highway, #219, Seal Beach, California 90740. Include your name and phone number. The money received from those not fishing will sponsor a young fire explorer. “We have a lot of people send in a check even if they are not planning to fish, and we take fire explorer’s fishing with us.

Marcus Huttunen, who raced on behalf of San Diego YC and Mission Bay Yacht Club, finished atop the Laser Radial class (12 races scored), ahead of Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club’s Maxwell Mayol and California Yacht Club’s Gavin McJones. There were 18 competitors in the Laser Radial class. San Diego sailors dominated the top of the C420 winners’ list. Ansgar Jordan and Patrick Mulcahy, representing Coronado and California yacht clubs, claimed first place in the C420 class. Finishing in second were Jack Egan and Jack Plavan, both of whom represented San Diego YC. Jack Reiter and Tanner Chapko (representing San Diego YC and Mission Bay YC) finished third in the C420 class, which featured 16 boats competing in 12 races. Micky Munns and Alexander Shapiro, both of King Harbor Yacht Club, beat out the most competitive field of the regatta to claim the CFJ class (11 races scored). Santa Barbara Yacht Club’s Payne Donaldson and Sara Muir placed second in the CFJ class, which featured 30 sailing teams. The third place finisher was the sailing team of Sean Tailman and Christopher Andrews, both representing King Harbor YC. U.S. Sailing brought (or will bring) the Junior Olympic Sailing Festival to several

host cities this year. Most of the regattas are or were held on the Eastern Seaboard, though quite a few of this year’s events was or will be in the Midwest. The nationwide series of sailing regattas is geared toward youth sailors between the ages of 8 and 18. U.S. Sailing and the

How will Harbor Commissioners in Newport Beach be allowed to advise City Council? The process in which commissioners communicate with city officials still needs to be vetted. By Nina K. Jussila NEWPORT BEACH — A unique practice of individually pairing Newport Beach’s Harbor Commission members with the City Council has come under fire. The official way commissioners correspond with City Council members is being reconsidered after city staff proposed abolishing a communication pairing system; the proposal was introduced to the Harbor Commission, July 12. Commissioners were puzzled as to why they were being asked to abolish the practice of being paired with City Council members. City staff did not give commissioners an explanation as to why the abolition proposal was introduced. The Log, however, later learned City Hall hoped to streamline the way City Council members communicate with commissioners. “The goal is to make sure all of the Boards and Commissions are being treated uniformly and getting the feedback they need to be successful,”

Newport Beach City Attorney Aaron Harp told The Log. Yet the Harbor Commission’s deliberations ended with the seven-member advisory board – amidst unanswered questions at the time – unanimously

Kenney wrote in an email to The Log on July 18. The pairing system provided commissioners with a direct line of communication to council members, Kenney told The Log. He regularly kept his City

“It is my opinion that the pairing of a … commissioner with a city councilperson provided value both to the elected and appointed official. Without the update, the councilperson would need to review the draft minutes of the meeting which typically aren’t immediately available.” – Harbor Commission Chair William Kenney voting against the proposal. Newport Beach Harbor Commission Chair William Kenney scratched his head as to why city staff proposed abolishing the commissioner-city councilor pairing system. “The Harbor Commission has not been advised why the City Manager recommended abolishing the pairings practice and I can’t opine as to why,”

Council counterpart updated with the latest Harbor Commission news. “It is my opinion that the pairing of a … commissioner with a city councilperson provided value both to the elected and appointed official,” Kenney said. “Without the update, the councilperson would need to review the draft minutes of the meeting which typically aren’t immediately available.

“The communication also gave the councilperson an opportunity to provide me with any questions that he/she might have and/or allow me to assist the councilperson on harbor related issues,” Kenney continued. “In my opinion the interests of the boating community and the public at large will be better served by city councilpersons that are fully aware of harbor related issues and the actions being taken by the body that they appointed to advise them on harbor related issues.” Abolishing the pairing system means board, commission or committee chairs would provide updates at City Council meetings. Kenney hopes the Harbor Commission would become a regular agenda item at the City Council meeting should the pairing system be abolished. “If the Harbor Commission is required to abolish the pairing practice then I would recommend that following each Harbor Commission meeting, the Chairman provide the City Council with a Harbor Commission update at the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting,” Kenney stated. The practice of pairing Harbor Commission members with City Council members to communicate updates is not exercised among other boards and commissions.

Southern California fishing news

Dan Hernandez: 30 Years as the Face of California Fishing

By Parimal M. Rohit CERRITOS — A young kid who trekked from East Los Angeles to nearby ocean with his parents in hopes of catching some fish grew up to become one of the most iconic figures on the Southern California angling scene. There’s hardly a moment at a Fred Hall Show or other local fishing event when someone isn’t asking Dan Hernandez to pose with them for a photo – and for good reason. Hernandez celebrated his 30th year in front of the camera in 2017, bringing recreational fishing to Southern California anglers since the 1980s. The Los Angeles County native grew up in Montebello and L.A.’s Eastside, but Hernandez had been fishing in California for more than 50 years. Hernandez found his love for fishing as a young child living in East Los Angeles when his parents took him to the piers across town. “We would fish on the pier, and the only rule was you couldn’t leave the pier. You had to fish on the pier,” Hernandez said. “You go out to the end of the pier, try to catch a bonito, or you could go toward the beginning of the pier and try to get a halibut or surfperch, but it was always about going out and fishing.” His early professional life featured stints as a photographer at Sport Afield magazine and writer at Western Outdoor News. Eventually Hernandez produced his own television show, “Sport Fishing with Dan Hernandez,” and launched a youth foundation to foster angling activity among younger generations. Through it all, Hernandez has been more than a steady presence in Southern California’s sportfishing scene.

Television Show Hernandez likened his 30th year on television as being equivalent to 200 years in regular life. The idea of hosting a sportfishing

show started when, one day, Hernandez watched Rolan Martin and Jimmy Houston on television and they said they were heading west for a fishing expedition – and by “heading west” they meant traveling to Louisiana. Hernandez quickly realized a television show was needed for anglers along California and Mexico’s Pacific coast. Dan Hernandez, whose production studio is based in Cerritos, also launch “They weren’t a youth fishing foundation to encourage younger audiences to become even on this side active anglers. of the Mississippi,” Hernandez said. “I decided at that point think what people like is we show them that I really want to try to do it. I worked something local they can go do. There with some guys and did a show for two hadn’t been a show like mine … [since years. That fell apart and then I went on the 1960s].

year-old. They told me they learned how to fish at one of my events, and now they are bringing their kids to learn,” Hernandez said. The foundation itself offers youth to become involved with fishing through a variety of events in Southern California, be it San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County or the Inland Empire. In fact the first-ever Riverside event is on tap, with the foundation essentially working with local parks and recreation departments to host fishing activities. Hernandez essentially helps local cities use their lakes to teach people about fishing.

Fishing Policy Legislators have been deliberating Senate Bill 187 (SB 187) during the current legislative session. The bill proposes to change California’s fishing license scheme to a 12-month cycle, as opposed to being issued through Dec. 31 regardless of purchase date. Hernandez is supportive of State Sen. Tom Berryhill’s proposal, stating California should really take a cue from one of her neighbors. “California should do what Mexico does. When you buy your license it’s good for 12 months from the day you buy it,” Hernandez said. “I see it when I go into stores, someone’s there to get a license and it’s November, and then they tell them how much it is, and it’s only going to be good for two months, then they don’t want to go [fishing]. I’d rather see a license good for a full 12 months.”

Looking Forward Hernandez, beyond the television show and foundation, also hosts private charters now. He hopes to continue growing the foundation to make it selfsustainable. Hernandez puts a lot of his own resources, both time and financial, into the foundation, but hopes more people will eventually support the organization’s efforts to bring fishing to local youth. More information about Dan’s television program, private charters and foundation efforts is available online at sport-fishing.com or DansKids.org.

San Diego Report

Tuna, yellowfin, Dorado highlight offshore bites By Bob Vanian SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — The Southern California offshore fishing season continues to witness increased bluefin, yellowfin, Dorado and yellowtail bites. Striped marlins are also coming into play. Big bluefin are attracting a lot of angler’s attention. The current area where skippers are targeting bluefin are 8 to 15 miles south to west southwest of Pyramid Head at San Clemente Island. It has not been easy to get the bluefin to bite but some have been biting nonetheless. Kite trolled Yummy Flyers have been the best bet for bluefin and the payoff can be the fish of a lifetime. Bluefin catches have been mixed size fish in the 30- to 200-pound range. A good percentage of the bluefin caught have been up over the 125-pound mark. Private boater Mike Seymour of the Sea Section fished a recent trip targeting bluefin with private boater Chad Reed aboard Reed’s boat Madrugador. Seymour reported a successful trip and said they caught a bluefin tuna taped out at 167 pounds via the fish weight measurement formula. The fish was caught on a kite trolled Yummy Flyer while fishing to the west-southwest of Pyramid Head at San Clemente Island at 66 miles 265 degrees from Point Loma. On the way back to San Diego they also took a look at the 43 Fathom Spot. While in the region of the 43 Fathom Spot they found some spots of breaking yellowfin tuna, saw a jumper marlin and saw a finning swordfish. Striped marlin are arriving in local off-

shore waters and the six-pack charter boat Sauerfish out of Point Loma Sportfishing recently caught and released a marlin while on a three-quarter day trip. I believe this to be the first marlin caught and released in 2017. Yellowfin tuna have been found in quite a few areas but in similar fashion to dealing with the bluefin, it has often been difficult to get the yellowfin to bite. A few yellowfin have been biting on trolled cedar plugs and also on Colt Snipers, surface iron and Flat Fall jigs that are cast to breaking fish before they sound. The yellowfin have been qualitysized fish in the 20- to 50-pound range. The best yellowfin zone has been 3 to 10 miles southeast over to northwest of Pyramid Head at San Clemente Island. Yellowfin have also been found in areas such as the 14 Mile Bank, 209 Spot, 289 Spot, Mackerel Bank, 43 Fathom Spot and 182 Spot. If an angler does not want to chase the bluefin and yellowfin there is some very good fishing for yellowtail and Dorado along with a chance at scratching out a few yellowfin tuna for boats fishing kelp paddies found below Point Loma in the region of the Upper Hidden Bank, the Upper 500 Bank and the Inner Bank located outside of Ensenada. The yellowtail have been mixed size fish from 5 to 20 pounds and the Dorado have ranged from small throwback sized fish up to 20 pounds. The few yellowfin tuna that have been caught in the area have been in the 20- to 25-pound range. Private boater Lee Fleming of Jawbreaker reported fishing a recent trip to the waters outside of Ensenada and said they had good fun fishing while working kelp

paddies found on the inside edges of the Inner Bank (the large bank that contains the well known 238 Spot). Fleming said they had great weather on the trip and the five anglers aboard caught 24 yellowtail, 3 bonito and 1 Dorado. Capt. Tony Souza of the private boat Green Bee reported about fishing kelp paddies at the Upper Hidden Bank. He said they found three productive kelp paddies in this zone and that they produced action on quality sized yellowtail and Dorado. They caught 7 yellowtail and 2 Dorado from the three paddies and lost several yellowtail hookups when the big yellows were able to get wrapped in the kelp. The yellowtail they caught were all quality-sized fish in the 18- to 20-pound class; the Dorado were also good sized fish of 14 pounds and 16 pounds. This action was had while fishing at 40 miles 181 to 183 degrees from Point Loma. Los Coronado Islands continue to provide very good mixed bag fishing for barracuda, bonito, yellowtail and calico bass. The fishing along the San Diego County coast has been very good for calico bass and there have also been occasional flurries of action on bonito, barracuda and yellowtail. Kelp beds have been the best for the calicos with productive areas being the kelp beds at Point Loma, La Jolla Kelp, within the stretch between Del Mar and Carlsbad, at San Onofre and the Barn. Capt. Joe Cacciola of Sea Star with Sea Star Sportfishing reports good calico bass fishing while working kelp bed areas between Carlsbad and Del Mar. He reported about a recent trip where the anglers

enjoyed some fine calico bass fishing and caught 40 legal sized calicos and caught and released an estimated 260 short-sized calicos. The calico bass were biting well on the 5to 6-inch sardines and were also biting well on the Hookup Bait plastics in the anchovy color and the glow green color. Another productive plastic bait on recent trips is reported to be the Berkley Jerk Shad in the sardine color when rigged with a 3/8-ounce dart head. Cacciola said he see occasional flurries of yellowtail action while fishing the kelp beds for the calicos and he recalled a recent trip where they hooked and lost six large yellowtail. The water has been very warm and was reported to be 77 degrees. The water has been green and tends to turn a cleaner green during the afternoon hours when they usually get an increased downhill current flow. The summer fishing season is offering plenty of great options for anglers to choose from in targeting different species in different areas! There should be something that perks the interest of most any angler. Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water! Bob Vanian is the voice, writer and researcher of the San Diego-based internet fish report service called 976-Bite which can be found at www.976bite.com. Vanian also provides anglers with a personal fish report service over the telephone at 619-226-8218. He always welcomes your fish reports at that same phone number or at bob976bite@aol.com.

Tight lines — By Parimal M. Rohit NOAA hosted public workshops for U.S. Seafood Import Monitoring Program What’s Up: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) held four public hearings across the country in July to discuss implementation of the U.S. Seafood Import Monitoring Program. “The Seafood Import Monitoring Program is the first phase of a risk-based traceability program, which establishes the reporting and recordkeeping requirements needed to prevent illegally harvested and misrepresented seafood from entering into U.S. Commerce,” a Federal Register notice of the public workshops stated. “In the development of the [Seafood Import Monitoring Program] rule, 13 ‘priority’ species were identified as being most at risk for Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing and misrepresentation, and are the only species currently subject to this program.” A federal final rule to establish the Seafood Import Monitoring Program was published in December 2016. “The Seafood Import Monitoring Program establishes for imports of certain seafood products, the reporting and recordkeeping requirements needed to prevent illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU)-caught and/or misrepresented seafood from entering U.S. commerce, thereby providing additional protections for our national economy, global food security

and the sustainability of our shared ocean resources,” NOAA officials stated on its website dedicated to illegal and fraudulent fishing. Meetings were held in Long Beach (July 13), Seattle (July 18), Elizabeth, New Jersey (July 20) and Miami (July 25). Bottom Line: The 13 seafood species listed as a priority under the Seafood Import Monitoring Program are abalone, Atlantic cod, Atlantic blue crab, grouper, mahi mahi, Pacific cod, red king crab, red snapper, sea cucumber, sharks, shrimp, swordfish and four types of tuna (bigeye, bluefin, skipjack, yellowfin). Each species, according to NOAA, “will be required to submit harvest and landing information on those products through the International Trade Data System (ITDS) prior to entry into U.S. Commerce, and maintain supply chain records from the point of harvest to the point of entry into U.S Commerce for a period of 2 years after entry.” Foreign exporters and U.S. domestic importers of seafood species covered by the Seafood Import Monitoring Program must be compliant with the policy initiative by Jan. 1, 2018. The implementation date and compliance deadline might be affected by a challenge of the monitoring program in federal court. A summary of what was discussed at the public workshops, including NOAA’s forecasted timeline for implementation of its policy initiatives, will be provided in the August 11 issue of The Log and FishRap.

(Clockwise from top left) The 20 anglers aboard Stardust ’s three-quarter-day trip to Santa Rosa Island yielded 7 ocean whitefish; the July 18 jaunt out of Santa Barbara also brought to shore 103 rockfish, 40 lingcod and one sheephead. Yellowtail proved to be a bountiful catch for the 22 anglers aboard a mid-July fishing expedition aboard Aloha Spirit out of Oxnard. The anglers reeled in 12 yellowtail (with 84 rockfish, 44 whitefish, 11 barracuda, 8 calico bass, four sculpin and two sheephead). Yellowtail were also brought in over the rails by anglers aboard Western Pride’s July 17 three-quarter-day trip. Meanwhile those searching for bluefin tuna should hop on a fishing excursion out of San Diego.

Fishing license reform bill placed on Suspense File Proposal to change calendar system to 12-month structure will be revisited Sept. 1. By Parimal M. Rohit SACRAMENTO — Anglers hoping for California’s legislators to reform the state’s fishing license system will have to wait a few weeks before knowing a final result as the Assembly’s Committee on Appropriations placed Senate Bill 187, or SB 187, on the Suspense File, July 19. Bills on the Suspense File are set aside for further review later in the legislative process. Appropriations committee members place such bills aside whenever the proposals have a fiscal impact. SB 187 will remain on Suspense File through Sept. 1, when it will be deliberated further. State Sen. Tom Berryhill, R-Twain Harte, introduced SB 187 earlier this year; it was his third attempt in recent years to convert California’s fishing license system from a calendar to 12-month cycle. Nearly two-dozen states offer 12-month fishing licenses to anglers, meaning a recreational fisher can have an active license for a full 12 months. California’s fishing licenses are active between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31 each year – for the same price regardless of when purchased. Accordingly an angler hoping to purchase a fishing license in, say, August or September would actually have greater incentive to wait until the end of the year to make such a purchase. Switching from a calendar system to 12-month cycle could result in increased fishing participation within California, according to Berryhill and fishing advocates. The effect of changing the licensing calendar is up for debate, according to the Committee on Appropriations’ July 17 legislative analysis. “According to [Department of Fish and Wildlife], who surveyed states that imple-

ment a year-to-date fishing license structure, each state experienced a significant decline in license sales,” the July 17 legislative analysis stated. “The decline was attributed to changes in license purchasing behavior. Anglers in these states tended to wait to purchase a fishing license until right before they went fishing. After each license expired, they often waited to renew their license until they fished again. This delay in purchasing results in fewer license purchases.” The analysis continued such behavior is most common in states with above average to high fishing license fees, which could be bad news for California. “This change in purchasing behavior was most pronounced in states that have relatively high sport fishing license fees. California sport fishing license fees are among the highest in the nation and would likely experience a large decline in sales,” the analysis stated. Angling proponents, however, believe a 12-month fishing license system would actually benefit the state and not be a financial burden, the legislative analysis pointed out. “The author and supporters of the bill believe the value added by the year-todate structure will encourage sales and result in an increase in revenue,” the analysis stated. “They note that each of the states’ declines in sales can be attributed to other factors such as hurricanes and droughts. They further assert that previous amendments delay implementation of the new license structure to allow DFW to update the licensing during a regularly scheduled update, thus reducing the costs.” Legislators are currently on recess and return to the capitol Aug. 21 and would revisit SB 187 on or after Sept. 1. Current proposals in this year’s legislative cycle must be approved and sent to the governor’s desk by Sept. 15. Gov. Jerry Brown would have until Oct. 15 to sign or veto any legislation arriving on his desk by Sept. 15.

SoCal and Baja’s #1 Source for Fresh and Saltwater Fishing

SALTWATER OCEAN FISHING REPORT By Terrence Berg 976-TUNA.com SAN DIEGO NEWS: The overnight and longer trips running out of San Diego landings have been hammering the smaller-grade yellowtail over the past week. A few dorado and bigger bonito have shown up on the offshore kelp, and the odd yellowfin. There have also been a few shots of bluefin tuna, but most of that action has been on private boats targeting the big bluefin. Some of the more recent scores put the bite in perspective. Pacific Queen out of Fisherman’s Landing was on a 1.5-day trip July 18 and the 18 anglers on board had limits of yellowtail (90 total), 11 bluefin tuna, six bonito and five dorado. The July 15 overnight trip on this same boat, the 20 anglers landed five bluefin tuna. New Lo-An was on an overnight trip on July 15, and the 16 anglers on board had limits of 80 yellowtail along with three dorado. Old Glory out of H&M Landing ran an overnight trip on July 18 with 36 anglers and landed 180 yellowtail (limits), 42 dorado and eight bonito. Top Gun 80, also out of H&M Landing, finished up a 2.5-day trip on July 17 and the 24 anglers on board landed limits of 240 yellowtail along with three dorado. The three-quarter-day boats have either been fishing local waters – mostly the Pont Loma kelp – for bass or running out to the Coronado Islands for yellowtail and other mixed bag catches.
