Avalon’s consultant delays sediment analysis report City staff reports on South Beach erosion and floating dock mold.

AVALON — A sedimentation analysis has been underway in the Avalon Harbor to search for a solution to beach erosion. Avalon City Council members expected the consultant conducting the study to provide a report at their Aug. 1 meeting. The consultant failed to appear at the meeting due to delays in his work, according to Avalon Public Works Director Bob Greenlaw, causing the analysis report to be held. Extreme weather and waves appear to be the reason for the erosion at Avalon’s South Beach. Tidal events cause sand to shift from the beach and to deposit offshore in the harbor. The beach becomes narrower and the harbor becomes shallower – to the dismay of residents, tourists and boaters. “There has been a lot of interest by locals and visitors on the topic of the loss of sand at South Beach,” Avalon City Manager David Jinkens wrote in an email to The Log. “When I was City Manager in the 1980s here, South Beach had an abundance of sand.” Greenlaw presented remedial ideas to stop the beach erosion from continuing for the council members to consider. Greenlaw mentioned “having the Catalina Express discontinue the present

The sediment analysis report, regarding sand erosion on Catalina Island’s South Beach, has been delayed by the consultant. The city of Avalon addresses mold growth on harbor floating docks.

practice of running its engine in reverse while tied up at the dock or having it anchor offshore.” The other option: replace the existing seawalls and build a deflection wall. These suggested actions presumably prevent further beach erosion from occurring but do not address the current lack of sand on the beach and lack of deep water in the harbor. “Neither of these approaches will undue the erosion that’s already occurred at South Beach,” said Greenlaw. The “way to accomplish that would be to…excavate the shoal that has formed under the pier and return those sediments back to South Beach.” Another method to replenish sand on the beach and deepen the harbor, Greenlaw mentioned, is using a dredge

to suction the sand after installing the new walls. The city hired the consultant 10 months ago and is still waiting on a final report. “In October 2016, the city of Avalon entered into a contract with Michael Baker International to conduct a sedimentation analysis and propose a conceptual remediation plan,” the Avalon City Council agenda stated. Results from the analysis were expected much sooner but have been delayed due to weather and other pressing demands. “Unfortunately, we are told the storms and wave activity [have] impacted many coastal cities,” Jinkens wrote in an email. “Dr. Jenkins (no relationship) is the expert on sedimentation,

so he is in demand on projects throughout California that have delayed him from completing our work.” City staff anticipates a sedimentation analysis report and remediation plan from the consultant in September. The resolution of mold on floating docks in the Avalon Harbor was also on the City Council’s agenda. City staff found mold growing on a floating dock when preparing to do repairs in May. JLM Environmental Inspecting and Consulting was hired, May 31, to inspect three floats for mold. Test results show “elevated fungal spore concentrations,” according to the JLM report. The recommended actions are to “abrasively clean the surface using a mild solvent, install vents on the floats and dry all building materials using humidification…” the report continued. City staff sent the reports to three companies which include Alliance Environmental Group, Inc., Fresh Air Services, Inc. and High-Tech Environmental Services. Alliance Environmental Group followed through with a bid in the amount of $9,850. City staff requested City Council’s approval on this company’s quote. The City Council unanimously approved spending up to $10,000 based on the reports and without further discussion.

Surfers and divers hope to deter sharks with “safe suits” 2C

AUSTRALIA — Southern California surfers and divers may be apprehensive about going in the ocean with all the shark sightings lately. Shark Mitigation Systems (SMS), a company located in Perth, Australia, hopes to quell such apprehension. The company claims to have designed a couple different wetsuits to help keep surfers and divers safe from shark attacks. Perth, a coastal city located on the west side of Australia, has experienced a number of fatal shark attacks. SMS was motivated to help reduce such fatalities. The company collaborated with University of Western Australia’s Ocean

NEWS BRIEFS NATION/world Coast Guard warns mariners not to attempt contact on SSB Frequency 2182 kHz WASHINGTON (LOG News Service) — The Coast Guard has issued a Marine Safety Alert warning mariners not to attempt to reach for help in emergencies on Single Side Band High Frequency 2182 kHz. In a release, Coast Guard spokesman Kenneth Olsen reported the Coast Guard discontinued monitoring 2182 more than four years ago. However recent inquiries by Coast Guard

Institute to create a wetsuit to deter sharks from surfers and divers. Sharks rely on vision as well as other senses to pinpoint prey. “By disrupting a shark’s visual perception, an attack can either be diverted altogether or at least delayed to allow time to exit the water,” as stated on the website for Radiation, an Australian company selling the wetsuits. “The two design variations either present the wearer as potentially dangerous and unpalatable to a shark, or make it very difficult for the shark to see the wearer in the water,” Radiation’s website continued. One wetsuit’s design includes different shades of

marine inspectors found a large number of vessel operators and ship masters continue to rely on this outdated high seas frequency to establish contact with the Coast Guard in case of an emergency beyond the normal range of VHF marine radios. Olson also said many mariners attempt to contact the Coast Guard using their EPIRBs, cell phones, SAT phones, and even NOAA weather electronics. Each of these communications devices has its limitations and specific functional capabilities, according to Olson. SSB-HF communications offer a greater transmission range when other options are not available. SSB-HF radios equipped

with digital selective calling (DSC) are capable of triggering an alert at Coast Guard Communications Command and are an especially reliable means for initiating communications with the Coast Guard during distress situations. The Coast Guard keeps watch on the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) SSB-HF frequencies 4125, 6215, 8291 and 12,290 kHz in place of the old international radiotelephone distress frequency 2182 kHz, Olsen said. More detailed information on the SSB-HF and HF DSC frequencies on which the Coast Guard keeps watch for distress and safety purposes are listed at bit.ly/2v6osVD.

Dana Point Navy Sighting Report: A Brief Recap By Parimal M. Rohit DANA POINT — Our July 28-Aug. 10 issue featured two photos of unidentified military vessels visiting Dana Point Harbor. The Log took it upon itself to discover the agency affiliated with the two stealth boats. A few days of emails and phone calls to a variety of sources mostly yielded dead ends, but one source at the U.S. Coast Guard unequivocally informed The Log the two vessels in question belonged to the Mexican Navy. The Log received a handful of emails and messages shortly after the printed article (and its photos) were posted online, Aug. 1. The messages challenged the accuracy of our reporting – an important and necessary element of fair and honest journalism. Also questioning our reporting was O.C.

Boating and Waterways Commission: A More Interactive Presence? Commissioners, boaters, marina operators and harbor administrations could connect together through new committees. By Parimal M. Rohit STATEWIDE — Four months between public meetings is a long time, but the California Boating and Waterways Commission is hoping to proactively interact with boaters despite formally convening only a few times each year. To be fair, the commission serves as an extension of the state’s Division of Boating and Waterways, meaning its function is primarily advisory. Boat launch ramp grants, private loans for local marinas and a variety of licensing or training programs often populate the commission’s meeting agenda. Yet the commission hopes to be enhancing its interaction with the boating public by the creation of several committees. Commissioners,

boaters, law enforcement personnel, marina operators and harbor officials, with the aim of connecting the end user to Division of Boating and Waterways staff, would populate such committees. Commission Chair Randy Short told The Log he suggested the creation of a few committees at the advisory panel’s most recent meeting in April. The committees are: boaters; law enforcement; loans; public and private sector business; and, strategic communications. Short said he hoped boaters would become involved with the commission and division through the Boaters Committee, which would including yacht clubs, standup paddleboard groups, and the like. “That’s a way I see that we can really facilitate input from everyone that is a constituent of Boating and Waterways,” Short said about the Boaters Committee in a lengthy phone conversation about the state-level advisory body’s functionality.

Fast Facts: “Only the Brave” by J.R. Johnson

By Nina K. Jussila Anglers will board Enterprise and City of Long Beach, two boats in Long Beach, in September to fish in honor of local, fallen firefighter Kevin Woyjeck. Moviegoers, conversely, will head to the theaters in October to watch “Only the Brave,” a film honoring the Granite Mountain Hotshots who lost their lives fighting a massive Arizona fire. Woyjeck loved fishing and worked as a deckhand on Long Beach’s fishing charter boats while growing up in Seal Beach. Woyjeck was also following in his family’s firefighting footsteps. He started as a fire explorer with Los Angeles County and then went onto various fire academies and training programs before joining an elite crew of wildland firefighters. Woyjeck was one of the youngest of the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots crewmembers killed while battling the Yarnell Hill Fire near Prescott, Arizona in June 2013. Woyjeck was 21 when he was killed.

Standing Watch From page 6

The other committees would likely focus on administrative and development functions of each marina or harbor. Members of the Public and Private Sector Business Committee, for example, would flesh out current and future developments of local marinas and harbors. The committee would be made up of small craft harbor or marina administrators and private sector representatives, among others. Meanwhile the Loan Committee would assist Boating and Waterways to determine the way loans would be structured. The Law Enforcement Committee would work with local harbor patrol or police while engineers, planners and environmental experts would sit on the Technical Advisory Committee to provide forward looking input.

Long-range strategy would be vetted by the Strategic Communications Committee, which would be chaired by the commission’s vice-chair and conduct free-flowing meetings to discuss out-of-the-box concepts pertaining to the future of Boating and Waterways. Commission members would be assigned to individually chair a committee; those sitting on each entity would set meeting frequency. The commission is currently in process of filling committees with members. Cecily Harris chairs the Boaters Committee, according to Short. The Boating and Waterways Commission does not venture into the minutia of administrative issues. Instead the commission helps administer initiatives such as the boat brokers program and provides loans or grants for law enforcement or infrastructure projects (such as boat launch ramps).

Maintaining public access to the water – be it at a lake or on the ocean – has also been one of the commission’s priorities, according to Short. The commission chair said about 95 percent of California boaters are not on the water, but instead would be found on a lakeshore or trailer. “Their access to water is through launch ramps,” Short said, adding the Division of Boating and Waterways has created launch ramps everywhere, usually funded by DBW money (and in some cases, built and rebuilt). Of course there is still work to be done – Short said he would like to see the public, both boating and general, use the commission to directly communicate with Boating and Waterways leadership. “One of the ways we can be better is by creating some avenues through which the public can have direct input

to the commission, and therefore the Boating and Waterways staff,” Short said. “Can [the commission] be more effective? I think it can be.” Short stated California State Parks Director Lisa Mangat views the Division of Boating and Waterways as an avenue to gather input of what needs to be done at each of the state’s waterfront venues. (California State Parks oversees the Division of Boating and Waterways and will be rolling out the boater education card beginning Jan. 1, 2018.) The commission itself is more accessible nowadays. Commission meetings are now broadcast live and available for later viewing on cal-span. org. The next public meeting is Aug. 15-16 in Fort Bragg; commissioners will tour Noyo Inner Harbor’s boat launch ramp on Aug. 15, followed by the formal meeting the next morning.

TAKE ACTION Can the seven-member Boating and Waterways Commission be a vehicle for boaters to be heard at the state level? Can the Division of Boating and Waterways be a complementary agency to local boards of supervisors, city councils and harbor commissions? Reach out to commission members and let them know what they can do to make sure boaters are not a forgotten group in California. Take up Short’s invitation to become involved with the commission’s Boater Committee.

Mechanical error caused fishing vessel allision at Ventura Boatyard What Happened: An allision involving a fishing vessel, sailing boat and boatyard travelift was caused by the failure to properly fasten a transmission control cable, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined in a recently released report. The transmission control cable not being properly fastened with a valve shift lever, as per manufacturer recommendations, was determined to be the probable cause of Ferrigno Boy striking Ventura Boatyard’s travelift and sailing boat Solera in 2015. Ferrigno Boy was a commercial fishing vessel and had arrived in Ventura Harbor to offload 13 tons of squid. The boat’s captain navigated into harbor and attempted to approach the pier for docking, according to the NTSB report. “[The captain] made a wide turn in order to pass near the end of the pier and thus provide enough maneuvering room to turn the bow away from the berth before backing down. The captain positioned the throttle in reverse and increased the main propulsion engine RPMs to slow the forward movement of the vessel as it continued to turn to port,” the NTSB report stated. “After making this maneuvering change, the captain instantly

realized something was wrong because the vessel accelerated in the forward direction and there was a lack of prop wash along the side of the hull that would have been produced by the astern thrust from the propeller.” Interviews during the investigation revealed the transmission was replaced a few months before the allision. “Although a company representative was present during the installation of the new engine and transmission, neither the owner nor the company representative knew the exact method or type of securing device, such as a lock washer, locknut, or double-nut, that was used to refasten the existing control cable ball joint to the new transmission’s mechanical control valve,” the NTSB report stated. “Likewise, the captain and crew did not know how the ball joint was secured to the control valve lever prior to the accident.” What’s On Tap: NTSB released the Ventura Boatyard incident as part of its Safer Seas Digest 2016 report, July 27 – almost two years to the date of the Ferrigno Boy allision; the commercial fishing vessel struck upon the travelift and sailing vessel on July 29, 2015. Such incidents are analyzed and published, according to the NTSB, to prevent future allisions or collisions, be it in a harbor or open ocean or elsewhere.

over makes it difficult to warn people, and visitors disregard signs. The South Carolina coast is popular with the sea cows in summer because of their fondness for warm water, and the department has seen increased sightings. Manatees are protected under federal and state law, and it’s illegal to feed, water, play with or touch a manatee in South Carolina.

Maine lobster boat crew saves eagle from Atlantic Ocean BIRCH HARBOR, Maine (AP) — A Maine lobster boat crew used some Yankee ingenuity to rescue a waterlogged eagle that it spotted struggling offshore in the North Atlantic. Lobsterman John Chipman, of Birch Harbor, said the struggling bird seemed to be relieved to see his boat and even tried to hop on board after Chipman came across the unusual sight of an eagle flopping around near Schoodic Island about a quarter-mile offshore. “The way he was acting, I knew that he wanted help. He seemed to try to come to the boat on his own and tried to get in. He wanted out of the water,” he said. Two retired police officers, Kevin Meaney, of Ellsworth, Maine, and Michelle Ritzema, of Rockford, Michigan aboard the boat with Chipman, fashioned a makeshift raft from a life preserver, a piece of plywood and rope to save the eagle. The eagle hopped aboard the raft and eventually was hauled onto the stern of the boat, where it dried off, Chipman said.

World’s first rigid sail and solar power system to prepare for sea trials FUKUOKA, Japan — Eco Marine Power (EMP) announced in late July it has begun preparing for sea trials of its Aquarius Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) solution in co-operation with strategic partners and ship owner Hisafuku Kisen K.K. of Onomichi, Japan. The MRE solution would ultimately lead to the firstever installation of a rigid sail and solar power system for ship. Such technology could be a sustainable solution for maritime shipping operations, the team of EMP and Hisafuku Kisen K.K. believe. A feasibility study involved large bulk carriers, such as Belgrano, Bulk Chile and Nord Gemini, is currently underway. The study would help determine the amount of propulsive and solar power each vessel needs. One ship would be selected for sea trials after the feasibility study is complete. The bird was missing an eye and appeared to be older. Chipman intended to deliver it to game wardens for care and rehabilitation, but the eagle had other ideas. After drying off, it spread its wings and flew away.

Boat captain rescues ‘Miracle’ cat thrown off bridge DESTIN, Florida (LOG News Service) — A Florida charter boat captain couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw a creature falling from a bridge. The Panama City News Herald reports Capt. Jordan Smith was traveling near a Destin bridge on July 27 when an animal was apparently thrown off. “I’ve seen some pretty crazy stuff out there, but never had seen a living animal get thrown off the bridge,” Smith said.

The 35-year-old Smith said he moved his boat closer to the site of the splash, thinking it might be an otter. But then he saw two orange eyes looking at him in fear — it was a cat. Smith used a net to pull the black feline out of the water. The cat proceeded to grab hold of his arm all the way back to shore. Smith says the cat has been taken to a veterinarian, and he plans to adopt her. Her name? Smith says he’s thinking, “Miracle.”

By Nina K. Jussila VENTURA — The Ventura County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved submitting a letter on July 25 to the federal government opposing intrusion on the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. U.S. Department of Commerce has been tasked with reviewing 11 national marine sanctuaries designated or expanded in the last 10 years. The analysis could have an effect on marine sanctuaries if potential offshore energy resources are found. Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary is one of the 11 marine sanctuaries subject to review. Oil and gas drilling are currently prohibited in marine sanctuaries. Is this local marine protected area (as well as the other 10 national marine sanctuaries) in danger of offshore oil drilling? A discussion with a definitive response came down to the wire when the county’s supervisors agreed to send the letter addressed to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross. The letter states the board’s opposition to impeding on the Channel Islands

The original deadline to submit comments was July 26. “The waters of the Marine Sanctuary are home to an incredible diversity of marine and bird life,” Bennett wrote in his recommendation to the board. “Many endangered whale species make vital use of the Sanctuary waters, including the world’s largest, the Blue whale.” “In the 45 years the National Marine Sanctuary program has been in existence, no President has ever Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary is one of 11 such venues under review by the Department of Commerce.

Harbormaster guiding transition of mooring management, harbor operations Newport Beach hires 13 additional staff and acquires two additional vessels. By Nina K. Jussila NEWPORT BEACH — The mooring management and harbor operations shift from Orange County Sheriff’s Department to the city of Newport Beach has been a fairly smooth transition as Harbormaster Dennis Durgan assumes his role. Durgan took over the responsibility of overseeing more than 1,200 moorings from the Sheriff Department’s Harbor Patrol Division in July, with Newport Beach hiring 13 part-time harbor workers and obtaining two additional vessels. The amount of foot traffic coming into Marina Park, where Durgan’s office is located, after the operational shift in management was unexpected. “I think the job may be a little bit bigger than they anticipated,” Durgan told The Log. “I don’t think it was anticipated quite as many people coming to our office to pay their mooring rates. We are still in charge of the Marina Park dock rentals, and so we got all that traf-

the National Marine Sanctuaries Act,” the executive order continued. Environmental organizations, coastal residents and Channel Island visitors expressed their support verbally and in writing for the Board of Supervisors to send a letter opposing offshore oil activity and reducing the size of the marine sanctuary. “We do not need more oil,” Ventura Audubon Society President Bruce E. Schoppe wrote in a letter to the Board of Supervisors. “As our mission, we do need to protect and restore bird populations and wildlife habitat for the benefit of humanity and the earth’s biodiversity.” Jim Hines, representing the Sierra Club’s support in Supervisor Bennett’s motion to send a letter to the government, stood at the podium and spoke to the Board of Supervisors. “I had several meetings with the gentleman who actually issued the oil drilling permits should the sanctuary be reduced or eliminated altogether,” Hines said. “Secretary of Interior Ryan Zinke has said to me and others that his goal is to remove all the protections of the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, a sanctuary that draws thousands of visitors from around the world and scientists who study the

good boating so everybody has fun out there,” Durgan stated. Durgan and his team are also educating both the renters and the private owners of standup paddleboards. “You’re supposed to have a Coast Guard approved floatation device on your paddleboard, [and] if you’re 13 and under, you’re supposed to be wearing that life jacket.” Durgan pointed out. “I would say there’s probably 30 percent that don’t have it on their boards.” A popular but risky activity among young people and children is a growing concern for Durgan and his team. “One of the big concerns we have right now are all the kids jumping off the bridge mainly at Lido Isle, which is a very dangerous practice.” Durgan said. “Now we are directing traffic under the bridge. We’re figuring out how to address it. It’s going to continue to be a problem.” Durgan was hired as a part-time harbormaster, Public Works Director Dave Webb initially told The Log. The harbormaster, however, said he has been working more than a 40-hour workweek as he gets his department up and running. “I’m trying to keep to 40 [hours per week], but it’s been over,” Durgan said. “You would with any start-up company. “I’ve been a sailor almost all my life, so it’s like putting together a big race boat team,” Durgan continued.

He added his department now has three harbormaster vessels as well to help him and his team manage the harbor and keep the water clean of trash. The city’s 19-foot Whaler has been refurbished and now has a chartplotter and radar, Durgan mentioned, which will be especially useful in the fog. “We leased two older catamarans,” Durgan also mentioned. “We’ve got little hoses with little pumps, so we can squirt sea lions when they come up on a boat or dock. It’s working great. “We put a pool net on each one of the boats and we have a regular trash can, so as we cruise around the bay and [scoop up trash floating in the water],” Durgan continued. “We’ve filled 25 trash cans so far.” Durgan and his team have driven these three vessels through all the mooring fields in Newport Beach harbor taking photographs and noting the condition of the mooring lines as well as the boats. “It’s going to be really helpful to have all that data on who the mooring permitee is and what boat is suppose to be on there,” Durgan said. “Everything about each mooring is going to be at our fingertips.” Durgan and his team, in addition to managing moorings and picking up litter, are also focusing on safety in the harbor. Durgan said they are concentrating on having no wake in the harbor, especially since there are so many standup paddleboarders out there. “We’re ambassadors trying to teach

natural resources of this rich biological region,” Hines continued. Supervisor Linda Parks expressed her appreciation for Hines’ advocacy on behalf of the Sierra Club and going to Washington D.C. The Board of Supervisor heard from Ventura County residents, Channel Island Naturalists and Restoration volunteers, a regional manager for the Surfrider Foundation, a Nature Conservancy ecologist and even children expressing the importance of preserving the Channel Islands and protecting the marine sanctuary. The United States Congress recognized the islands off the Ventura County Coast in 1980 as the Channel Islands National Park. At the same time, the six miles of water surrounding the Channel Islands National Park were designated as the Channel Islands Marine Sanctuary. “We think that the marine protected areas and the sanctuary are very significant biological resources,” Christina Boser, California Islands’ ecologist at The Nature Conservancy, stated. “We think that if anything we should be expanding these protected areas not reducing them.” The deadline to submit public comments has been extended to Aug. 14. The public can add comments to the Federal Register online at bit.ly/2t5oMTy.

Standup paddleboard yoga – or SUP yoga – classes have surfaced in various waterways as a fitness trend, but are they safely out of the way of other watercrafts?

Finding a balance between boaters and SUP yogis SUP yoga businesses are spreading in all types of waterways. By Nina K. Jussila SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — Standup paddleboarding and yoga have emerged as trending recreational activities, going so far as to merge into a fused fitness activity on the water. Standup paddleboard yoga – or SUP yoga –classes have been popping up in waterways throughout Southern California. Are recreational harbors and lagoons already too congested for this growing fitness trend? Are SUP yoga instructors able to balance the needs of their students with other activities and watercrafts in the water? The Log reached out to a number of instructors teaching SUP yoga, including Roxy athlete and Paddle into Fitness owner Gillian Gibree. Harmony appears to be present in the harbors with one exception.

San Diego Paddle into Fitness officially started in San Diego in 2010, offering SUP yoga classes and certifications. Gibree is the owner of the company and has graced the covers of many fitness magazines as a sports model and ocean athlete. Her current business focus is SUP yoga certification. “There were a lot of instructors that came from a yoga background but really had no water experience,” Gibree stated. “They don’t know how to make a rescue, they don’t know how to read the winds or they don’t know the boating laws. “So part of our training that we do is teaching them how to operate in a marina, what the buoys mean and how to make rescues,” Gibree continued. “We go over lifeguard training, first aid and CPR.” The master training program covers boating safety, rules and laws; everyone enrolled in the program is required to take a test. Gibree launched the master training program last fall. Her business now has

multiple affiliate locations nationwide and in Canada. Gibree said issues arise when rental companies fail to enforce lessons or rules to people renting paddleboards and from people not wanting to pay for a lesson. “Hopefully by having more master trainers…people will be safer on the water by wearing a [personal flotation device] and leash,” Gibree stated. Gibree’s business also offers Float into Fitness. Inflatable mats with bungees are used instead of a board and paddle. The inflatable fitness mats give people a platform to do fitness and yoga in a pool, which allows for a more controlled environment without boats and other watercrafts. “For the most part, people are running [SUP yoga] classes in the morning” when there is not much boat traffic and lakes where boats are not allowed, Gibree pointed out.

yoga at a Wanderlust Festival, a summer yoga and musical event in Squaw Valley. Her trainer was, in fact, Gibree from Paddle into Fitness. Clow started Tides Up Yoga over two years ago in the Channel Islands Harbor. Clow teaches SUP Yoga in the Seabridge Marina on Friday and Saturday mornings. Her classes are 90 minutes – a 15-minute paddle warmup, a 60-minute class and a 15-minute paddle back. Clow said she makes sure her students know how to swim and have a life vest. The paddleboards also have leashes and anchors. “There are some great spots in the harbor out of the way [of boaters],” Clow stated. Elizabeth White started Sea Dog Yoga two years ago in the Channel Islands Harbor with a business license and SUP yoga certification. She teaches small SUP yoga classes consisting of three to five students on Saturday and Sunday mornings in Mandalay Bay. “We always do a safety demo at the beginning of class on how to use a life jacket and ensure they can swim,” White stated. White said she has only had one complaint from a boater in the past two years. “The only situation I had one time was when we were anchored by the damn by the main channel in Channel Islands Harbor,” White said. White said one boater, pulling out of a dock, yelled at them to move even though they were not directly in the path of the boater. “I just changed the place where I anchored at, because we want to avoid being in the boaters’ ways or creating any tension between people that live there,” said White. White said people are generally supportive about getting out on the water and exercising. “We have a particularly understanding harbor,” White stated. “Here the Harbor Patrol stops and says, ‘that is so inspiring.’”

Standup paddleboard yogis are spreading their boards and striking poses in lakes, harbors and lagoons throughout Southern California.

Mother’s Beach in Marina del Rey where she offers group classes every weekend. She can accommodate 10 to 15 students per class as she has a fleet of 17 boards, paddles and anchors. “We stay out of everyone’s way, and I train all of my instructors to know water rescue, water safety and harbor safety,” Tiefenthaler stated. “We’re very cautious, and safety is number one for us.” Tiefenthaler admitted she received complaints from boaters in her first year before people understood her business. Tiefenthaler said business has run smoothly ever since, thanks to her business’s longevity and everyone’s observation of the harbor rules and safety protocol. She also said her classes are conducted out of the swim area but in an area where boats are not allowed. “We paddle out where the boats go – just for the warm up [which takes about 15 minutes], but we follow safety regulations and stay far to the right,” Tiefenthaler explained. “We yield for boats. We come right back on the right side, and then we anchor our boards within the buoys avoiding any boat traffic.” Tiefenthaler says she has no direct competitors in the marina, since Marina del Rey limits the amount of people that can get on the water at once. She applies for permits through Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbor and gets renewed each year. “I’ve been granted a three year permit, so I have the county approval,” Tiefenthaler said.

Carlsbad Marci Kawar is the co-owner of Floating Yogis, which started in 2012 in San Diego county. The SUP yoga classes are taught in a Carlsbad lagoon. They have a studio with parking and bathrooms beside the lagoon. Kawar admits to the challenges of teaching SUP yoga in an uncontrolled environment with changing water conditions, windy days, boats that may come by, and students at different skill levels. “We have anchors [on the paddleboards]. We anchor down, so we are

staying in one place. We’re secure. It allows us to take out all levels of people,” Kawar mentioned. Class sizes can range from six to as many as 15 students, according to Kawar. Kawar said she has not heard of any boaters complaining about her class being in the way. “Actually it’s the other way around. Paddleboarders complain about the boats,” said Kawar. “They don’t love the boats. The boats get awfully close to the buoy lines, so there is often a lot of wake.”

Santa Barbara Harbor Santa Barbara Harbor is the one exception referred to at the outset of this report. SUP yoga instructors have attempted to conduct classes in Santa Barbara Harbor only to be shut down. “Santa Barbara is the only place I’ve heard of where they don’t allow that, which is a bummer because it is such a beautiful place to do SUP yoga,” Gibree stated. “I guess I can understand, because boaters don’t want people anchored in the marina.” Santa Barbara Harbor Patrol Steve McCullough explains the issues with SUP yoga in the harbor. “There are a couple of issues. First, any business has to have a business license,” McCullough elucidated. “SUP yoga also requires anchoring in the harbor, and we don’t allow anchoring in the harbor.” Both McCullough and Santa Barbara Waterfront Director Scott Riedman said licensed business owners could conduct SUP yoga classes east of Sterns Wharf; however, that area raises other concerns. Riedman said the water in that area tends to get choppy, and SUP yogis want calm water. “It’s just our harbor is so tight,” Riedman stated. “We get complaints from boaters all the time about SUPs in general.” Riedman also mentioned one of their tenants, an SUP rental company, complained about people doing SUP yoga out on the water.

California resolves to protect national marine sanctuaries

Pres. Donald J. Trump ordered a review of national marine sanctuaries to determine whether energy exploration and production can become a regular offshore activity. California expressed its disagreement with the executive order, as state senators resolved to oppose any energy exploration or production within designated marine sanctuaries – including the one at Channel Islands (pictured).

White House seeks to halt environmental designations in favor of pursuing offshore gas exploration and production. By Parimal M. Rohit STATEWIDE — California’s Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary is a “national treasure” and must be “maintained for future generations.” Such is the language of a resolution California’s legislators passed in late June to challenge the federal government’s planned review of marine monuments and sanctuaries. Senate Resolution 44 (SR 44), which formally declares California’s opposition to the planned review of national marine sanctuaries off the state’s coast, was adopted in late June and aims to maintain environmental protections at four protected areas near Los Angeles, Monterey and San Francisco. California is home to four national marine sanctuaries: Channel Islands (near Ventura/Santa Barbara); Cordell Bank (northwest of San Francisco); Greater Farallones (near San Francisco); and, Monterey Bay. SR 44 was adopted four days ahead of the issuance of a federal notice for public comment on the planned review of marine sanctuary designation and expansion. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) public comment period and state senate resolution were in response to Pres. Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order

13795, which would encourage energy exploration and production on the Outer Continental Shelf. State senators, however, stated such exploration and production is not permitted in California’s national marine sanctuaries. “Exploration for, or development or production of, oil, gas, or minerals is prohibited in California’s national marine sanctuaries, except as authorized for certain Channel Islands leases,” the language of SR 44 stated. Meanwhile a U.S. Senate committee held a public hearing, a few days after SR 44 was adopted, to discuss the future of national marine sanctuaries. The next few months could determine whether energy exploration and production will become a more common activity off our shores. What does Trump’s executive order mean? Is SR 44 a grandstanding measure or does it have enough teeth to challenge possible federal action? Where do members of the U.S. Senate stand on the issue?

What are National Marine Sanctuaries? The United States is home to 14 national marine sanctuaries – including the four in California. National marine sanctuaries attempt to strike a balance between protecting natural features of a designated marine area while still allowing people to interact with the ocean. Oftentimes national marine sanctuaries function as a safe haven for near-extinct species or preservation of certain historical artifacts,

like shipwrecks. NOAA and the Secretary of Commerce, according to federal officials, are permitted under the National Marine Sanctuaries Act to “identify, designate, and manage ocean and Great Lake areas of special national significance as national marine sanctuaries.” The act grants NOAA and the Commerce Secretary the power to adopt regulations and issue permits. Recent federal finances reveals NOAA had a $50 million budget during the 2017 fiscal year to maintain and manage sanctuaries and marine protected areas.

Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary Federal officials established the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary off the Ventura/Santa Barbara coast in 1980. It covers nearly 1,500 square miles, with portions of state waters designated as a no-take zone. The stated designated purpose of the sanctuary, according to the Marine Conservation Biology Institute, is to “preserve and protect the natural and cultural resources within this unique and fragile ecosystem community.” Endangered or threatened species within the sanctuary include white abalone, humpback whale, stellar sea lion and southern sea otter.

Senate Committee Hearing National marine sanctuaries were

a topic of discussion at the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation’s June 27 hearing, with the board’s chair expressing support for Trump’s executive order. “While the concept of national marine sanctuaries is well-intentioned, many of these protected areas have caused some challenges for coastal and Great Lakes communities across the country that are dependent upon the abundant resources found in America’s waters,” committee Chair Dan Sullivan said. “Recognizing these concerns, Pres. Trump issued an Executive Order in April that pauses the Secretary [of Commerce] from issuing any new designations and instituting a review of current sanctuaries.” Sullivan added the recent change in process allowing individuals to nominate areas to become a national marine sanctuary was troublesome, as the federal government does not have the resources to manage such areas should too many of them be created. “As new areas are designated, existing resources are stretched ever thinner. The Sanctuary Act wisely recognized this potential pitfall, and includes language that prohibits the creation of new sanctuaries if their establishment would threaten the management efforts of other sanctuaries,” Sullivan said. Jeremiah O’Brien, who serves as vice-president of the Morro Bay Commercial Fishermen’s Association on the Central California coast, supported Sullivan’s contention of national marine sanctuaries being well inten-


Executive Order 13795 Trump issued Executive Order 13795 in April; the directive set to establish a policy of encouraging offshore energy exploration and production. The executive action opened the door for the federal government to cease establishing new marine sanctuaries while also reviewing current designations, such as federally protected areas off the coasts of Ventura/Santa Barbara, Monterey and San Francisco. Pursuing offshore energy production in federal waters, according to Trump’s executive order, is necessary to promote a vibrant economy and maintain our national security. “Increased domestic energy production on federal lands and waters strengthens the Nation’s security and reduces reliance on imported energy,” Trump’s executive order stated. “Moreover, low energy prices, driven by an increased American energy supply, will benefit American families and help reinvigorate American manufacturing and job growth.” Restricting the Commerce

Department’s ability to designate or expand national marine sanctuaries was classified in the executive order as “responsible planning for future offshore energy potential.”

Senate Resolution 44 The State Senate’s resolution was relatively short and listed several platitudes, such as California being home to a $45 billion ocean economy. Maintaining California’s four national marine sanctuaries, according to SR 44, provides habitat to 180 fish species, 70 bird species and several other life forms (dolphins, endangered whales, porpoises, remote coral reefs, seals, sea lines and white sharks). “California’s iconic coastal and marine waters are one of the United States’ most precious resources, and as elected officials, it is our duty to ensure the long-term viability of California’s marine environment and thriving fishing, tourism, and recreation sectors,” the language of SR 44 stated. The resolution formally declared the United States’ National Marine Sanctuaries as “a national treasure that belong to all Americans and should be maintained for future generations.” Copies of the resolution were forwarded to Trump, Vice-President Mike Pence, federal administrators and California’s executive and legislative leadership. Supporters of the resolution stated the exploration and production of offshore fossil fuels not only come at the expense of environmental protections provided by national marine sanctuaries but the potential of gas development near the Los Angeles or San Francisco metropolitan areas also contradicts California’s efforts in responding to climate change. For now SR 44 appears to be nothing more than a statement of position, as opposed to a directive with action mechanisms. Whether California’s legislative leadership takes any further action remains to be seen and is likely contingent upon whether federal administrators carry through on Trump’s executive order.

NOAA Public Comment Period Public comments on the marine sanctuaries review process will be accepted until midnight (Eastern Standard Time), Aug. 14. Nearly one dozen national marine sanctuaries or monuments will be reviewed as part of Trump’s executive order. Public comments will be included as part of the Commerce Department’s report on the review process. Elements of 11 marine sanctuaries and monuments up for review are Channel Islands, Cordell Bank, Greater Farallones, Monterey Bay, Marianas Trench (Pacific Ocean), American Samoa, Northeast Canyons and Seamounts (Atlantic Ocean), Pacific Remote Islands (Pacific Ocean), Papahanaumokuakea (Hawai’i), Rose Atoll (American Samoa) and Thunder Bay (Michigan).

tioned but potentially overbearing. “Sanctuaries are good at inspiring care of the ocean, a worthwhile goal,” O’Brien stated in his testimony to the committee. “However, for those who are engaged directly with sanctuary managers over resource management, sanctuaries have a mixed scorecard, at best. By their actions sanctuaries have created a difficult relationship with recreational and commercial fishermen, in particular.” The commercial fisherman stated the creation of national marine sanctuaries sometimes conflict with the Magnuson-Stevens Act and Fisheries Management Act. “For fishermen and fishery managers, the fact that sanctuaries can overrule the Regional Fishery Management Councils, with eight National Standards serving as the council’s guide, is disconcerting, and not in the best interest of ocean health,” O’Brien said in his testimony. “Sanctuaries, on the other hand, have weak science capabilities, and a poor, self-serving public process.” Former NOAA Administrator Conrad C. Lautenbacher challenged O’Brien’s testimony and stated national marine sanctuaries are necessary to stem the ocean’s declining health. “The ocean today is not healthy; much more needs to be accomplished to reverse the course of decline that has occurred over the last century or more,” Lautenbacher said in his testimony to the committee, pointing out to an increase of ocean acidity and proliferation of marine debris in recent years. “National Marine Sanctuaries play a major role in stemming this decline and with increased support can play a major role in actually reversing the downward trend. Managed protected areas have been proven to restore fish populations where depletion has already occurred,” Lautenbacher later said.

Gov. Jerry Brown vetoes vessel impoundment bill State Senate proposal to expand punishment for boating under the influence crimes earned executive rejection.

SACRAMENTO — A State Senator’s proposal to allow courts to authorize the impounding of vessels, for up to 30 days, from those convicted of certain boating under the influence crimes was vetoed by Gov. Jerry Brown, July 24. Brown’s veto coincided with the signing of Assembly Bill 78 (AB 78), which expanded the use of blue lights for public safety vessels. The two executive decisions come ahead of what will be a deluge of signings and vetoes as the 2017 legislative session comes to an end.

Senate Bill 644 – Vessel Impoundment Both houses of California’s legislature approved State Sen. Jeff Stone’s proposal to grant courts the power to impound a vessel if its owner was convicted of boating under the influence of alcohol, drugs or any other combination of substances and the action resulted in the unlawful killing of another person. Brown stated the vessel impoundment would not enhance law enforcement practices nor deter boaters or other recreational craft users from engaging in illegal behavior. “Boating under the influence is a very troubling crime which exposes the public to grave danger. However,

Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed Senate Bill 644, which would have allowed law enforcement personnel to impound recreational boats if a boater is convicted of certain crimes. The governor did sign into law a proposal to expand the uses of blue lights for law enforcement and other public service vessels.

especially in cases where this conduct resulted in an unlawful killing, a defendant will be exposed to very serious criminal and civil liability, including potentially years in prison depending on the circumstances,” Brown wrote in his veto message. “I do not see the need, in these tragic but narrow instances, to additional expand the powers of government to impound private property as an added punitive measure,” Brown continued. “This bill will not act as a deterrent, and existing criminal and civil penalties are sufficient to address the conduct contemplated.” Senate Bill 644 (SB 644) was unanimously supported in both houses. State Senators initially voted 37-0 in favor of the vessel impoundment proposal in late May. An amended version of SB 644 earned a 74-0 vote in the Assembly, July 6, with the State Senate adopting the updated bill four days later.

Stone introduced the bill in response to a driving under the influence (DUI) arrest in his home district (portions of Riverside County, including Temecula and the Palm Springs area). Under state law, a person subject to a DUI arrest could have his or her vehicle impounded and subject to a sale after 30 days. SB 644 aimed to apply a similar rule to boating under the influence convictions, particularly when the incident includes a death. The bill was returned to the State Senate for consideration of Brown’s veto.

Assembly Bill 78 – Blue Lights A proposal to expand the use of blue lights for law enforcement and other public service vessels was signed into law, July 24. Fire department vessels will now be able to use distinctive blue lights when

engaged in a public safety activity. Use of the blue lights had been limited to law enforcement vessels prior to the signing of AB 78. Law enforcement – and now fire department – vessels use blue lights as a notice to boaters. Fire department vessels would, ideally, be able to respond to emergencies in a more efficient manner by using the distinctive blue lights. “The use of blue lights on emergency vessels indicates to civilian boaters to yield the right-of-way and/or to slow down as to not create a hazard or unnecessary wakes. They do not mean by themselves to stop and succumb to police actions,” a legislative analysis quoted Assembly member Jim Cooper, D-Sacramento as saying prior to AB 78’s passage. AB 78 received support from Recreational Boaters of California and several fire department organizations across the state. Assembly members voted 74-0 in favor of the bill in April; state senators approved the blue lights proposal by a 33-0 vote in early July. “Expansion of the permitted use of blue warning lights has been limited in the vehicle code due to the availability of alternative lights and the lack of a legal requirement to comply with blue warning lights. However, the Harbor and Navigation code has distinct requirements for compliance with blue warning lights and the code provides a different significance for blue lights,” a legislative analysis of AB 78 stated. “Therefore, expansion of the permitted use of blue warning lights in the Harbor and Navigation Code should be distinguished from the concerns related to expansion of blue lights on land-based emergency vehicles.”

The Harbor Commission will be welcoming new members, reshuffling leadership. By Nina K. Jussila SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara Harbor Commission has been dark the past few months and short two members. However, the advisory board returns to action after a two month lull and holds its first meeting since May 18. Two new members will be sworn in as the Harbor Commission resumes business, Aug. 17; commissioners will also nominate and elect a new chair and vice-chair at the meeting. The Aug. 17 meeting almost feels like déjà vu, as officers were selected and two new members, Merit McCrea and Lang Slig, joined the board around the same time last year. Sabrina Kranz and Shoham Yaniv

were appointed to the Santa Barbara Harbor Commission at the Santa Barbara City Council meeting, June 6. They will fill the two vacant seats, making the seven-member commission whole again. “Harbor Commission terms are four years but these two are filling in for Commissioners that left before the end of their term, so Sabrina’s term technically ends on Dec. 31, 2017 and Shoham’s term ends on Dec. 31, 2019,” Santa Barbara Waterfront Director Scott Riedman informed The Log. “They start in August when we seat them at their first meeting.” Both Kranz and Yaniv are part of the Santa Barbara Outrigger Canoe Club (SBOCC). Kranz is the current SBOCC president, and Yaniv is a board member. Kranz and Yaniv join the Harbor Commission on the heels of back-toback meeting cancellations in June

and July. Riedman said cancelation of a June meeting is “typical” due to commissioners’ vacations and a “light agenda.” “What caught us by surprise in July is we didn’t have a chair or vice-chair,” Riedman continued. “All of a sudden neither of them Santa Barbara’s harbor commissioners are expected to be back on the dais were available,” so the in mid-August.

Who’s looking out for recreational boaters’ interests? Story and photo by Capt. Nicole Sours Larson

It isn’t just marinas that are squeezing out boaters and maritime interests. A few years ago, San Diego’s Shelter Island marine businesses were threatened with eviction because Port District’s commissioners wanted to “spruce up” the island to attract more lucre from the all-mighty tourists. Gleaming white yachts docked at marinas might be acceptable eye candy for tourists, but grubby businesses like boatyards, engine mechanics and other marine services essential to supporting the boating community needed to go. The Port wanted to “sanitize” the island, squeeze in more hotels and maximize its revenue. Land and money grab, anyone? Fortunately, that proposal was shouted down and the Shelter Island marine industry continues to thrive,

All along the California coast, the story repeats: local officials announce plans to redevelop marinas and waterfront districts, usually increasing the number of larger slips and decreasing small slips. Sometimes, like San Pedro’s Ports O’ Call Marina, docks are demolished and not replaced. Yes, it’s important to maintain and renovate marinas. And yes, boats are getting larger and all need somewhere to dock and call home. But what about the little guys, the people with the “starter boats” in the 20and 30-foot range? Where do they go when they’re displaced? In July, Arv and I were in Los Angeles and stopped in Marina del Rey, one of his favorite old haunts. We drove around looking at marinas, as we often do. Seeing many empty docks and older marine businesses closed for demolition and reconfiguration brought this issue home.

TripAdvisor awarded Channel Islands Harbor a Certificate of Excellence for being a destination “for quiet seekers” and among the “top things to do” in Ventura County.

Channel Islands Harbor awarded the 2017 Trip Advisors Certificate of Excellence By Catherine French OXNARD —Channel Islands Harbor earned the TripAdvisor 2017 Certificate of Excellence, Ventura County Harbor Department announced. The title is granted to establishments or organizations earning high ratings and reviews from users. Channel Islands Harbor became the first recreational harbor in Ventura County in 1965; the venue is owned and operated by the county. The harbor consists of more than 300 acres of water and land. The majority of the harbor is operated by businesses with long-term leases granted by the Ventura County Board of Supervisors. Channel Islands Harbor is highly rated in the “top things to do” and “a good place for quiet seekers” categories on TripAdvisor. As one of the largest harbors in the state – with only Marina del Rey and San Diego being larger in Southern California – Channel Islands Harbor started on a much smaller scale. Additional construction has occurred during the past 52 years, including the west channel of the harbor, along Harbor Boulevard and Peninsula Road.

Harbor development has been largely accomplished through leases with private developers, who have constructed eight marinas (not including the three built by the County) with more than 2,200 boat slips, two hotels, two yacht club buildings, two boatyards and three shopping areas. “Receiving this recognition is a credit to all the lessees and businesses who make the Channel Islands Harbor a great place to live and visit,” Lyn Krieger, harbor director, said. “There is no greater seal of approval than being recognized by our visitors. With the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence based on visitor reviews, the achievement is a remarkable vote of confidence to our success and commitment to service excellence.” The Certificate of Excellence is based on the quality, quantity and frequency of reviews submitted by travelers on TripAdvisor over a 12-month period. To qualify, a business must maintain an overall TripAdvisor bubble rating of at least four out of five, have a minimum number of reviews and remain listed on TripAdvisor for at least 12 months.

Request to rename park after Ralph Rodheim denied Newport Beach parks commission won’t recommend name change in recognition of former harbor commissioner. By Nina K. Jussila

Newport Beach City Council member Brad Avery was not surprised by the commission’s decision, saying they are just going by the policy. However, Avery acknowledged Rodheim’s contributions to the boating community having known him for years. “I’ve known Ralph since I was 14,” Avery told The Log. “I worked for a sailing club in Lido Village, and his father lived aboard his boat right next to where I worked. His father had a beautiful 62-foot sloop.” Avery and Rodheim had a lot in common as the years passed with both having a fondness for wooden boats.

Small Craft Harbor Commission will look into establishing a separate space for standup paddleboards in Marina del Rey. By Parimal M. Rohit MARINA DEL REY — Los Angeles County could be looking into creating a bicycle lane of sorts in a stretch of Marina del Rey as the Small Craft Harbor Commission briefly broached the idea of a dedicated space for standup paddleboard, or SUP, users on the water. The idea was brought up during a larger discussion on Parcel 43 construction at the commission’s July 12 meeting in Marina del Rey. New slips are being built at Parcel 32, which is located at Bali Way. There have been concerns, in general, of the project’s encroachment into the main channel. Plans calling for an extended dock into common traffic areas could have an effect on charter operations and student sailing programs, some argued. Commissioners did not come to any conclusions or recommendations about a possible standup paddleboard lane. Whether the topic is considered with greater interest at a future meeting remains to be seen.

Standup Paddleboard Lane Designation Local boat owner Peter Beale asked commissioners at their July 12 meeting whether they’d consider creating a bicy-

cle lane-equivalent for standup paddleboard users near D Basin. “The paddleboarder population [is increasing] and, as I go down D Basin, it is very, very dangerous for them. I keep wanting to advise them, please move to the right,” Beale said. “It’ll be very easy to put halfa-dozen orange buoys down the side of D Basin and have them instructed to keep to the right of A discussion of work at Marina del Rey’s Parcel 43 included a comment on whether the harbor should include a dedicated lane for that.” standup paddleboarders.

University research initiative at Marina del Rey approved by L.A. County Supervisors grant UCLA free docking for its Marine Operations Program. By Parimal M. Rohit LOS ANGELES — A corner of Marina del Rey’s harbor will be used for educational and research purposes, as the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved UCLA’s request to use the waterfront for its Marine Operations Program; the proposal was green-lit July 25. The university’s Marine Operations Program will be used to ultimately train students to become boat operators and ocean data collectors. Students, according to county staff, would be expected to go on to pursue “smaller practical ocean data collection projects in Santa Monica Bay and nearby coastal areas.”

UCLA would place its Kodiak boat in the harbor as part of its education and research program. The program would conduct field trips for oceanography classes, offer opportunities for students to perform thesis work and allow faculty and research staff to conduct various studies. About 70 percent of the vessel’s usage would be for educational activities; the Kodiak would be used for research activities all other times. County staff and supervisors also hoped UCLA would make its boat and the department’s staff available for educational youth trips under the Department of Beaches and Harbors’ Water Awareness, Training, Education and Recreation (WATER) program. The WATER program offers sailing courses, ocean safety demonstrations and youth sailing camps. UCLA and county staff will discuss

such a relationship once the Marine Operations Program is implemented, according to a county report. The Kodiak boat could be docked at Anchorage 47, a transient slip or inside one of the county’s boat storage venues. Use of such facilities would be offered to UCLA at no cost. County resident Eric Previn questioned why supervisors are providing UCLA with a free slip. “The UCLA Kodiak boat is getting a free slip, which I don’t understand. [Are] all boats that use children … also getting a free slip,” Previn asked supervisors. “Is it because it’s the alma mater of [Supervisor Sheila Kuehl]? I certainly hope not.” The research university chose Marina del Rey due to its close proximity to Westwood, where UCLA is based. Los Angeles Harbor in San Pedro is also large enough to house the Kodiak but is

farther south. UCLA, however, is involved with AltaSea, a marine research center at the Port of Los Angeles. Los Angeles County also offers marine science and education programs geared toward students. The county’s Marine Sciences Programs, which is based at the Outdoor and Marine Education office in Downey, offers floating laboratories, ocean life presentations and other educational curricula. Marine field trips would also be available to students through Aquarium of the Pacific, Ballona Creek Renaissance, Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, Center for Marine Studies, Long Beach Marine Institute, Malibu Foundation for Environmental Education, Ocean Conservation Society, Roundhouse Marine Studies Lab and Aquarium as well as Santa Monica Pier Aquarium and Sea Lab.

By Nina K. Jussila AVALON — A new seasonal water activity – flyboarding – is literally taking off in Catalina Island. This summer is the first full season of the hydroflying sport on the island. People have the opportunity to hover and fly over water with Action Flyboarding. Anyone 15 years and older can experience flyboarding. A 90-year-old man took to flyboarding in July as this was on his bucket list, according to Action Flyboarding Owner Belinda Bain. The cost is $129, which covers the boat ride to and from the dock, fitting of a life vest and helmet, training, and 30 minutes of flying. Paid customers board a shoreboat for a 10-minute ride to a 21-foot-by40-foot floating dock in a cove past Descanso Beach, where they are fitted with a life vest and helmet. A trained and certified instructor provides 30-minutes of instructions on how to fly. Customers then enter the water with the flyboard; the instructor is on a waverunner which generates power to the board. Customers propel and hover

above the water moving in the direction of their choice. The instructor controls the height, which is typically three to eight feet above the water, depending on skill level. “We are just on the other side of Descanso Beach. We have our own little cove. It looks like Fiji in there, because the water is so clear,” Bain said. Bain started her flyboarding business in Catalina Island last summer.

Alamitos Bay Marina’s rebuild project continues in earnest, with city officials predicting renovation work to be completed at some point in summer 2018. Work began in 2011 and was conducted in several phases.

353 slips currently offline at Alamitos Bay Marina The rebuild project will be complete by mid-2018, according to Long Beach city staff. By Nina K. Jussila LONG BEACH — The rebuild project for Long Beach’s Alamitos Bay Marina is expected to be completed by summer 2018, according to city staff. Bellingham Marine, the company contracted to redesign the marina, lists this fall as the completion date, interestingly enough. The marina has 353 slips offline and 42 vacancies, mostly in the 35-foot to 40-foot range, as of the end of June, according to Elvira Hallinan, marine bureau manager for the Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine. Alamitos Bay Marina will have 1,655 slips for vessels between 15 and 115 feet in length when completed, as The Log previously reported. Bellingham Marine initially projected the undertaking to take four to five years. The project began in fall 2011 with the rebuild having gone through six phases and is currently in its final phase, according to the Bellingham Marine website. “The entire project is expected to be complete by fall 2017,” the Bellingham Marine website stated. However completion of the rebuild, according to city staff, is and has been projected for 2018. “The completion date has always been early summer 2018 for in-water reconstruction; Basin 6 reconstruction is scheduled for fall 2017,” Hallinan clarified. The six initial phases included reconstruction or replacement of various basins, paving the parking lots, utility work and restroom construction.

“The last phase, phase seven is currently underway and includes the reconstruction of the balance of the docks in basin 3, basin 7 and basin 6,” stated the Bellingham Marine website. Multiple attempts have been made to contact Bellingham Marine’s General Manager for the Southwest Division Jim Puder by The Log to clarify the project parameters with no success. Members of the Long Beach Marina Boat Owners Association (BOA) appear to be satisfied with changes being made at the marina. “The BOA members I have talked to are very happy with the quality of the new concrete docks and amenities, such as the dockside pump out stations,” Dr. Tom Mayes, Long Beach Marina BOA president, shared with The Log. Wooden docks have been replaced with concrete ones as part of the Alamitos Bay Marina Rebuild project. The city has received millions of dollars in bonds to finance each phase of the project. The amount of money spent so far on this rebuild amounts to $94,375,315, Hallinan revealed when asked. The BOA’s “understanding is that the project is on time and within budget estimates,” Mayes stated. Various news outlets reported the entire cost of the rebuild project was estimated to be between $96 million and $98 million. The marina rebuild project encompasses “new gangways, docks, piles, seawall repair, dredging, in-slip pump outs, utility upgrades where needed to accommodate new slip mix as well as new utilities at all docks,” Hallinan said. Long Beach’s marinas, which encompass Alamitos Bay as well as Rainbow Harbor and Shoreline, are the largest single-property managed marinas on the West Coast.

San Diego Yacht Club (2016 team pictured here) defended its Morgan Cup championship, defeating New York Yacht Club at a keelboat invitational in Newport, Rhode Island. It was the third time in four years a Southern California team won the Morgan Cup.

San Diego Yacht Club repeats as Morgan Cup champion Trophy remains in Southern California as San Diego team win keelboat invitational. By Parimal M. Rohit NEWPORT, Rhode Island — The cov-

eted Morgan Cup remains in Southern California, as the San Diego Yacht Club becomes the first repeat champions of the East Coast regatta since 2012. San Diego YC defeated New York Yacht Club, 3-1, in the keelboat team event held at Newport, Rhode Island; the regatta was held Aug. 4-6. Only one

other Southern California racing team – Newport Harbor Yacht Club – won the Morgan Cup; the Orange County yacht club won the New York Yacht Club Invitational Team Race Regatta in 2014. This year’s invitational regatta featured 10 teams competing for the

Morgan Cup, including three from California. Jake Reynolds captained San Diego YC’s team in this year’s invitational; also on the roster were Carissa Crawford, Marly Isler, Nicolas Kashak, Jake LaDow, Nick Martin, AJ Reiter, Andy Reiter, Scott Shinks, Erik Shampain, Nevin Snow and Duncan Swain. Newport Harbor YC and St. Francis Yacht Club also represented California at the Newport, Rhode Island regatta. The rest of the field comprised of New York YC, Long Island’s Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club, Corinthian Yacht Club, Eastern YC, Royal Thames Yacht Club, Yale Corinthian Yacht Club and College of Charleston. St. Francis YC finished the regatta in third, with Yale Corinithian YC rounding out the Top 4. New York YC and Seawanhaka Corinthian YC exclusively dominated the Morgan Cup through 2013, each club collectively winning the first 11 regattas. The keelboat invitational first launched in 2003, with New York YC claiming the first-ever Morgan Cup and Seawanhaka Corinthian YC winning it all in year two. The next five regattas belonged to New York YC, but Seawanhaka Corinthian responded with a streak of three consecutive Morgan Cup wins in 2010, 2011 and 2012. New York YC would own the Morgan Cup in 2013 and 2015, but the trophy has been in Southern California three times in the past four years, thanks to San Diego YC’s back-to-back wins and Newport Harbor YC’s victory in 2014.

Los Angeles to host Olympics in 2028 By Parimal M. Rohit LOS ANGELES — The 2028 Summer Games returns to Los Angeles for the third time in the modern era, meaning the world’s best sailors will be on display in Southern California waters and competing for Olympic gold. City leaders announced Los Angeles reached an agreement with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to host the 2028 Games, marking the third time Southern California’s largest city will have the quadrennial athletic event in town. Los Angeles first hosted the Summer Games in 1932, with rowing events held at the Marine Stadium in Long Beach and competitive yachting taking place in the Pacific Ocean near the Port of Los Angeles. A record 62 countries competed in sailing events during the 1984 Summer Games in Long Beach. Competitions were held in nine categories: mistral – men’s windsurfer; women’s mistral; Finn one-person dinghy heavyweight; winglider – men’s windsurfer; 470 – two-person dinghy, men’s; Fleetmatch race keelboat open soling, mixed; two-person keelboat open star, mixed; tornado – multihull, mixed; and, Flying Dutchman, mixed.

The 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro featured 13 sailing events, including 49er skiff (men) and laser. It remains to be seen which classes to be featured at the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles, what with the Olympic competition still more than a decade away. Long Beach would likely host sailing events in 2028, with venue specifics to become clearer as the Olympic competition draws nearer.

Young angler Chase Lovejoy shows off one of two white sea bass he reeled in during a mid-July fishing run aboard New Hustler out of Oxnard. The sea bass weighed in at 18 and 20 pounds, respectively. Lovejoy used live anchovy, sardine, fresh dead squid and jigs to catch the sea bass. The 15 anglers aboard New Hustler’s two-day fishing trip on July 15 reeled in 19 white sea bass, 10 whitefish and five yellowtail, among others.

A Not-So-Minor Catch

Southern California fishing news

Pacific bluefin tuna to stay off endangered species list Fish species does not meet statutory definition of endangered or threatened. By Parimal M. Rohit WASHINGTON, D.C. — Federal officials will not place Pacific bluefin tuna on the endangered species list, following National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) declaring the Northern Pacific Ocean fishery is not on the verge of disappearing. NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service, after a 12-month review, determined Pacific bluefin tuna is not a critical habitat and the fish species’ population is large enough to avoid requiring stringent federal protection. Members of the research team, which included researchers and scientists with NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center, stated there were 1.6 million individual bluefin tuna swimming in the Northern Pacific Ocean as of 2014, with 140,000 fish being of reproductive size. These numbers, NOAA’s research team stated, were sufficient enough to determine Pacific bluefin tuna as not warranting restrictive protections under the Endangered Species Act.

Matthew Craig, chair of the Pacific Bluefin Tuna Status Review Team and part of NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center, said news reports in recent years stating the fish species’ current population was at less than 3 percent might not be the most accurate calculation. The estimated 97 percent decline in biomass, Craig stated, might be based upon comparing the current active population of bluefin tuna to a theoretical number of what the biomass would have been had there been no fishing. Craig added several countries that regularly catch Pacific bluefin tuna have taken steps in recent years to help rebuild the fishery. Chris Yates, the assistant regional administrator for protect resources with NOAA Fisheries’ West Coast Region, stated the species’ population is not ideal but there is still a significant presence of individual and reproductive Pacific bluefin tuna to warrant keeping it off the endangered species list. The species’ population has been at low levels before in the best, Yates acknowledged, but the overall numbers have apparently rebounded, giving federal officials reason to believe the fishery doesn’t meet statutory definition of being endangered.

Pacific bluefin tuna might have avoided the endangered species list but the fishery still faces threats. “Fishing was the highest risk to the species,” Craig said, adding the research team studied 25 total threats to the Pacific bluefin tuna biomass. Overfishing posed a moderate threat at best, Craig added, but the fishery still is not endanA petition to declare Pacific bluefin tuna as an endangered gered or threatened as a whole. species was denied by NOAA after a 12-month review of the Yates noted there is a diffishery.

Federal mandate aims to protect sportfishing, subsistence fishing and tribal cultural use. By Parimal M. Rohit WASHINGTON, D.C. — The federal government, in an attempt to protect sportfishing, subsistence fishing and tribal cultural use, announced July 18 it established new water quality criteria for mercury in California waters. A new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandate would place limits on mercury found in salmon fish tissue as part of a public health initiative. “The state’s new rules set five new

water quality criteria for mercury in fish tissue for tribal subsistence fishing, general subsistence fishing, prey fish, sport fish and for fish commonly consumed by the protected California Least Tern. The new criteria will help protect and inform the public about levels of mercury in popular sport fish like salmon, bass, sturgeon and trout,” EPA spokesperson Soledad Calvino said in a released statement. Updated water quality objectives were specifically mandated in five categories: sportfishing; tribal subsistence fishing; general subsistence fishing; prey fishing; and, California least tern prey fishing. The EPA mandate, specifically targeting methylmercury, limits mercury levels found in salmon to 0.02-0.05

milligrams per kilogram, depending on the specific category of fishing type. Small traces of methlymercury, commonly found in fish and shellfish tissue, exist in the human body. However high levels of the neurotoxin can pose serious health risks, such as loss of peripheral vision and muscle weakness, according to the EPA.

The Don Julio fishing team celebrates its jackpot victory with a 64.1-pound bull Dorado catch at the Dorado Shoot Out in Los Barriles, Baja California Sur, Mexico.

Anglers duke it out at Dorado Shoot Out Several big fish crowd top of the winner’s list at Baja California Sur tournament. By Parimal M. Rohit LOS BARRILES, Baja California Sur — A good old-fashioned shootout took place on Baja California’s eastern cape in mid-July, as a record jackpot awaited anglers at the conclusion of the 13th annual Dorado Shoot Out. The fishing tournament – held July 15 at Palmas de Cortez Resort in Los Barriles (between La Paz and Los Cabos) – featured a record 141 teams competing for a piece of the $126,480 jackpot (also a tournament record). Anglers aboard Don Julio walked away as the tournament’s winners, as the boat’s Joe Feeney and team reeled in a 61.4-pound bull Dorado. The 61.4-pound Dorado proved to be the heaviest catch after a seemingly

epic weigh-in, where the top scale-tipper was consistently beat out by even heavier fish. El Tio was the first boat to weighin, with her top catch coming in at 30 pounds. The catch was soon topped by a 52.5-pound catch aboard Amante – only to be bested 39 minutes later by Team El Regalo’s 57.3-pound bull. El Regalo’s remained atop the winner’s list for a mere 30 minutes, according to organizers, as Joe Feeney and Team Don Julio brought their 61.4pound Dorado to the weighing station. Joe Feeney claimed all four jackpots ($126,480) and a 2017 Volkswagen Amarok; the vehicle was given to Don Julio’s Capt. Lucio Vargas. Team Don Julio was made up of Joe Feeney, Sean Feeney, Brandon Hearn, Mike Bernier, 10-year-old Joe Feeney III, deckhand Yamero Silva and Vargas. Up next is the first-ever Wahoo Gold Cup, to be held Aug. 26 at Palmas de Cortez Resort in Los Barriles.

SAN DIEGO — The Southern California offshore fishing season keeps rolling along as good numbers of striped marlin have now arrived in local offshore waters to join the bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, dorado and yellowtail. The first weekend of August saw what I would estimate to be 10 striped marlins caught and released with spots around the East End of Catalina such as the 277 Spot and 152 Spot being the best. The striped marlins have been showing and biting over a large area ranging from the Catalina Channel all the way down to the area of the 238 Spot outside of Ensenada. Productive areas have been the 14 Mile Bank, the Avalon Bank, the Slide, the 152 Spot, 277 Spot, 209 Spot, 8 to 12 miles off the coast between San Onofre and Oceanside, the 182 Spot, the 224 Spot, the 371 Bank the 425 Bank, the Upper Hidden Bank, the Upper 500 Spot and the 238 Spot. A lot of the marlin action has come on the troll but there have been marlin hooked by baiting tailers and sleepers as well as by baiting kelp paddies with sardines intended for yellowtail or Dorado. Big bluefin tuna continue to bite out

Tight lines — By Parimal M. Rohit Federal bill promoting fish habitat conservation clears Senate committee What’s Up: The Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works support Senate Bill 1514 (S. 1514), July 26, giving the proposal the green light to inch ahead in the legislative process. S. 1514, supported by the American Sportfishing Association, aims to increase certain protections for anglers and fish habitats. The bill still has to face a vote by the entire Senate before moving to the House of Representatives for consideration. Pres. Donald J. Trump would receive the bill for signature, if it clears both houses of Congress. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyoming, introduced S. 1514 in June. Bottom Line: S. 1514, if approved, would authorize the National Fish Habitat Partnership and potentially limit federal regulations on lead fishing tackle.

The National Fish Habitat Partnership is an initiative to promote habitat conservation and increase fishing opportunities. A 25-member board would oversee the partnership program and establish priorities for fish habitat conservation. Sens. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) and Ben Cardin (D-Maryland) had introduced the National Fish Habitat Conservation Act (S. 1436) exactly one month ahead of S. 1514. The bill stated there are about 60 million anglers in the United States. Recreational fishing, according to S. 1436, supports more than 828,000 jobs and has an economic impact of $115 billion. “Healthy populations of fish depend on the conservation, protection, restoration, and enhancement of fish habitats in the United States,” a portion of S. 1436 stated. “At least 40 percent of all threatened species and endangered species in the United States are directly dependent on fish habitats.”

(Clockwise from top top right) Anglers in Ventura County had their fix of several species, what with sheephead, white sea bass and yellowtail biting for the party aboard Coroloma in early August. Dorados were a popular catch aboard Red Rooster III’s Aug. 2 fishing trip, with anglers reeling in 12 dodos and more than three-dozen yellows. The big action, however, might as well be aboard Thunderbird, where anglers reeled in record-breaking bluefin tuna on separate trips. A 227-pounder was brought in over the rails during a July 25 fishing trip out of Newport Beach. The big catch was on the record books for only a few days, as anglers reeled in a 239-pound bluefin on Aug. 5, the largest such tuna caught aboard Thunderbird.

at San Clemente Island and the bluefin have been running from 30 to 250+ pounds, with a lot of the fish falling within the 120- to 200-pound range. Kite trolled Yummy Flyers have been the best bet for the bluefin, which have also been caught while drifting over meter marks or around spots of breaking fish and using mackerel, live squid and Flat Fall jigs. Occasional bluefin are also hooked on surface iron or poppers that are cast to spots of breaking fish. The best areas have been in the region of Desperation Reef, the 81 Fathom Spot, the 86 Fathom Spot and the 381 Spot with the areas to the west of the 86 Fathom Spot and about half way between the 86 Fathom Spot and the 381 Spot being the best.

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

SALTWATER OCEAN FISHING REPORT By Terrence Berg 976-TUNA.com OFFSHORE BLUEFIN UPDATE: While the bluefin bite is not wide open, there is a real possibility an angler can get the tuna of a lifetime on current offshore fishing trips. The problem is most anglers are bringing inadequate gear to handle bigger fish. There are two grades of bluefin tuna in the blue water off San Clemente Island. The smaller grade fish are 20 to 60 pounds, and then there are bigger grade fish from 80 to 200 pounds – with some real pigs topping 300 pounds or more. There was a 400-plus over the past week. Anglers with 40-pound class gear are getting spooled or broken off. The 60-pound rigs are the bare minimum, and anglers should have bigger gear. The best action is mid-week because there are 300 to 400 boats out on the tuna grounds running over the fish during the weekends, and the bite pretty much shuts down. The mid-week fishing is much better. Toronado out of Pierpoint Landing was on an overnight trip Aug. 2 and the 10 anglers landed 14 bluefin to 100 pounds. Freedom out of 22nd Street Landing was at the other end. The Aug. 1 trip had 35 anglers on an overnight jaunt and landed just one bluefin. The July 30 overnight, also with 35 anglers, produced one yellowtail, one lingcod, three bonito, four barracuda, five calico bass, nine bluefin, 77 red snapper and 189 rockfish. Thunderbird out of Davey’s Locker had 30 anglers on an Aug. 1 overnight and landed six bluefin – this has been an ‘average’ score, if there is such a thing in fishing.

San Diego fleet has also been getting in on this bluefin action because of the broad spread of fish in the offshore grounds. The three-quarter-day Liberty out of Fisherman’s Landing had 26 anglers who landed 20 yellowtail, 30 bonito and 40 bluefin on Aug. 1. The July 31 trip, with 14 anglers, produced 11 bluefin and 12 yellowtail. SAN DIEGO OFFSHORE: By far the most consistent and productive fishing for Southern California offshore anglers has been for the yellowtail, dorado and now yellowfin tuna on boats running into offshore Mexican waters down the coast from off Ensendada to 50 to 70 miles further south. There has been a big influx of yellowfin tuna in this bite while coming into the full moon, but yellowtails and Dorado have been providing the bulk of the action on floating kelp paddies. Most of the yellowtail are from five to eight pounds, but about one-in-four have been in the 18 to 25-pound class. The Dorados are mostly 8- to 15-pound class fish, and the yellowfin are mostly 12 to 20 pounds. Condor out of Fisherman’s Landing had 24 anglers on an overnight trip July 31 and landed 120 yellowtails (limits), nine Dorado and three yellowfin. Producer out of H&M Landing had 27 anglers on an Aug. 2 overnight trip and landed 135 yellowtails (limits), 20 Dorado and two yellowfin. Oceanside 95 out of Helgren’s Sportfishing had 36 anglers on its 1.5-day trip, July 30, and landed 215 yellowtails and 22 Dorado. CATALINA UPDATE: Catalina Island continues to hold a lot of bass, bonito and barracuda. The single day trips are also getting into a few smaller grade yellowtail. The problem is sea lions have been a horrible nuisance. One boat skipper reported his anglers landed 15 yellowtails on a recent trip, but lost another 100 to sea lions. Enterprise out of Pierpoint Landing had 48

anglers on its Aug. 1 three-quarter-day trip to Catalina and landed four yellowtails along with 86 calico bass, 39 Spanish jacks, 28 barracudas, 25 whitefish, and five sheepheads – a pretty typical score at Catalina during the final days of July and early stages of August. TWILIGHT SAND BASS: City of Long Beach and Enterprise, both out of Pierpoint Landing, ran twilight trips this past weekend on Saturday and Sunday respectively. On the July 29 trip, 25 anglers landed 78 sand bass and seven barracudas. On the July 30 trip, 15 anglers had full limits of 75 sand bass. VENTURA-SANTA BARBARA UPDATE: The rockfish bite for the Ventura, Oxnard, and Santa Barbara boats running both near-shore and island spots have been finding continued excellent rockfish action with some decent surface action for calico bass, barracuda, and a few yellowtail. Island Tak out of Channel Islands Sportfishing had a full-day surface trip with nine anglers on Aug. 2 and landed full limits of 45 keeper calico bass. Erna B’s Aug. 1 three-quarter-day trip out with 22 anglers landed two bonitos, five yellowtails, and 27 barracudas, also focusing on surface species. At Hook’s Landing, Coroloma had 35 anglers on its Aug. 2 three-quarter-day trip and landed one white sea bass, one sheephead, three perch, five calicos, 14 whitefish and 61 barracudas. The Aug. 1 trip with 18 anglers returned with 72 barracudas, 24 yellowtails, 16 calico bass, 12 whitefish, and one sole.

On Aug. 1, Patriot out of Patriot Sportfishing in Avila had 24 anglers and landed 195 rockfish, 25 red snapper, 10 bocaccio, and three lings. On July 31, Endeavor out of Morro Bay Landing had 27 anglers on its trip and landed 270 assorted bottomfish. Top fish was an 8-pound red landed by Albert Silva, San Luis Obispo. Fiesta out of Virg’s Landing had 24 anglers fishing at Ragged Point on a July 28 full-day trip and landed 240 reds along with 14 lings. A 23.8-pound ling caught by Mary Barzeale, Fresno, won the jackpot on the trip. The local surf, pier, and bay fishing have been excellent for perch, and there have also been some striped bass in the surf at Dog Beach and at Studio Drive in Cayucos.

For complete reports, visit fishrap.com Crossword puzzle solution From page 22

AVILA BEACH-MORRO BAY UPDATE: For the boats running out of Avila Beach and Morro Bay landings, the bite on rockfish continues to be very good with a lot of big reds showing in the catch, and enough quality lings that at least a few show up on all trips.
