BIZARRE

100 Years Later, Ghost Ship with Only a Six-Toed Cat Onboard Remains a Mystery HATTERAS, NORTH CAROLINA

— In August 1920, a five-mast schooner picked up a load of coal in Norfolk, Virginia, and set sail with an experienced captain and a crew of 10 men bound for Rio de Janeiro. The crew however would not return and what happened to them remains a mystery to this day and one of the most written-about maritime mysteries of the 20th century.

Jan. 31 marked the 100-year anniversary of the Carroll A. Deering running aground with not a soul on board - allegedly, besides a six-toed cat - in the Outer Banks city of Hatteras, North Carolina.

According to the National Parks Foundation (NPF), the Carroll A. Deering departed on Aug. 22, 1920, and although Captain William H. Merritt fell ill a few days later and had to be replaced by the

Feb. 4, 1921. When crews were able to board the Carroll A. Deering, not a soul was found onboard but a gray, six-toed cat was found in good condition and taken ashore, according to the Virginia Pilot. It is believed the cat left a line of six-toed progeny on the Outer Banks, including one that lives today around the Hatteras ferry docks, historian Danny Couch

told the Virginia Pilot.

Gone with the crew were also personal belongings and key navigational equipment, according to the NPF. Despite an exhaustive investigation by the FBI, no trace of the crew or the ship’s logs has ever been uncovered.

Accounts of the crew’s alleged dissatisfaction with new captain W. B. Wormell have

led to speculation that a mutiny may have occurred, while the FBI’s investigation turned up leads ranging from Bolshevik-sympathizing pirates to rum-running gangsters, all of which turned out to be dead ends, according to NPF. Speculation continues to this day, and no satisfactory explanation for the crew’s disappearance has ever been proven.

What happened to the crew aboard Carroll A. Deering, a five-mast schooner that ran aground on Jan. 31, 1921 in North Carolina, remains a mystery to this day.

hastily-recruited Captain W. B. Wormell, the ship delivered its cargo on schedule and set sail to return in December.

“A lightship keeper named Captain Jacobson aboard the Cape Lookout Lightship in North Carolina sighted the vessel bound for its home port on Jan. 29, 1921,” the NPF wrote in a blog post on its website. “The Carrol A. Deering hailed the lightship, and an unidentified crewman reported that the ship had lost its anchors. Captain Jacobson took note of this but was unable to report it due to his radio being out. He would later describe the crew of the Carroll A. Deering ‘milling around’ suspiciously on the foredeck of the ship.”

The morning of Jan. 31, 1921, C.P. Brady of the Cape Hatteras Coast Guard Station spied the schooner aground on Diamond Shoals, its sails still set and its lifeboats missing.

Rough waters kept surf boats from reaching the wreck until

A

Despite the new civilian boating channel opening in Anaheim Bay - which connects Huntington Harbour with the Pacific Ocean - a federal regulation still restricts jet skis and human-powered crafts, such as kayaks. Gregg Smith,

the public affairs officer at Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach, said the regulation was put in place by the federal government due to safety concerns back in the 1960s or 1970s because the channel was fairly narrow and there were safety concerns with having small watercraft in the same narrow channel with much larger vessels.

With the new channel 25 percent wider than the old channel and separated from Navy vessel traffic, it is possible this regulation could change. Smith said in order for that to happen, the

FAST FACTS

Unarmored Three-spine Stickleback, Southern California’s Small, Endangered Fish

Three-spine stickleback

By LINDSEY GLASGOW L O S A N G E L E S —Souther n California’s unarmored threespine stickleback has made headlines periodically, most recently over a lawsuit that was filed on Jan. 18 by the Center for Biological Diversity against the Trump Administration for allegedly failing to take measures to protect the endangered fish. What is the three-spine stickleback, and what is going on with the fish?

The three-spine stickleback is a two-inch-long fish with three spines on its back. The stickleback feasts on insects found on the bottom of riverbeds, small crustaceans, and snails.

They reproduce throughout the year in slow-moving water under the cover of aquatic vegetation. While the unarmored

three-spine stickleback used to inhabit many freshwater systems in Southern California, populations are now limited to relatively few stream networks within Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties, according to Los Padres Forest Watch.

The unarmored three-spine stickleback was listed as endangered in 1970 under the precursor to today’s Endangered Species Act. Critical habitat was proposed for the species by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1980, but never designated. In 2002 the Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit to protect habitat for the stickleback, since Fish and Wildlife Service failed to finalize its more than 20-year-old proposal. The Center lost the suit when the Service “finalized” the proposal by withdrawing it.

Please see STICKLEBACK, PAGE 7

Representative Mike Simpson announced a proposal that would “overhaul the hydrology of the Lower Snake River and provide support for the numerous industries reliant on the river system.” The project would contribute to the recovery of northwest wild salmon in the region, which Simpson said are affected by three main contributors, climate change, poor ocean conditions, and the four Lower Snake River dams that Simpson is looking to breach. The removal of the dams is somewhat controversial, as it provides benefits for transportation, energy, and agricultural communities. The dams allow barges to move from Portland to Lewiston-Clarkston, cheaply transporting agriculture and providing tourism and recreational opportunities that some say would be difficult to replace.

“We appreciate Rep. Simpson’s commitment to restoring salmon and steelhead, doing so in a way that recognizes the value of stakeholder input and recreational impacts of these fisheries,” said Danielle Cloutier, ASA’s Pacific Fisheries Policy director in a Feb. 8 press release. “The combined investment in numerous proposed watershed partnerships and direct funding for recreation and tourism surpasses $3 billion.

ASA is committed to working with Rep. Simpson, the Pacific Northwest Congressional delegation, and our regional partners to support the overarching goal of recovering salmon and steelhead runs.”

LEGAL ADVICE

ask a maritime attorney By David Weil How liable am I if a vendor is injured on my boat?

QUESTION:

I have used a local diesel mechanic for various projects on my boat for the past three or four years. Two months ago, he broke his leg in a freak accident while working aboard my boat. It was a serious break but I have stayed in touch with him and he seems to be recovering without any complications. We had a friendly relationship though, so I was pretty surprised when I received a letter from the mechanic’s lawyer demanding that I pay his medical bills and an additional amount for “pain and suffering.” The attorney said that I have a legal obligation to pay since the accident occurred on my “premises” while the mechanic was working for me, and he wants my insurance policy information so he can “handle this” through my insurance company. This really bothers me because the accident was clearly the mechanic’s fault and I don’t think he should be paid by me or by my insurance company. Does he have a legal claim in this case? What are my rights?

ANSWER: Before we address the legal issues, I need to advise our reader to tender this claim to his insurance company. “Tendering” a claim does NOT mean that he should share his insurance information with the mechanic’s lawyer. Instead, “tendering” a claim means turning it over to his insurance company and allowing them to investigate the facts of the claim. We may be required to exchange insurance information after a car wreck, but that requirement does not extend to boat accidents. In fact, the injured party and his attorney have no legal right to know the limits of your liability insurance, or even whether you are insured at all, unless they have filed a lawsuit.

Our reader’s insurance company will investigate the claim, and they will of course appoint legal counsel if necessary. They may or may not determine that our reader is liable for the accident, but this is why we have insurance. With the insurance discussion behind us, let’s take a look at the legal issues that are presented here.

Attorney From page 6

away in this case based upon the language of the demand letter from the mechanic’s attorney. His reference to our reader’s “premises” and to the mechanic “working for” our reader infer that a boat owner may be automatically liable for any injuries suffered aboard a boat, and that anyone who performs work on a boat is automatically an employee entitled to workers’ compensation benefits.

Both of these assumptions are wrong.

Our reader and his mechanic have a relationship that goes back a few years, but the mechanic works on many other boats as an independent contractor and is clearly not our reader’s employee. The mechanic might be deemed an employee of the vessel if he were permanently assigned to that vessel as a paid crewmember, but in that case his injuries would be evaluated under a federal statute known as the Jones Act which protects injured maritime workers, rather than being evaluated under state workers’ compensation laws.

We don’t have the time or space in this article to discuss the Jones Act other than to conclude that the mechanic is not a professional crewmember and as such the Jones Act is not applicable in this case, and that as an independent contractor aboard the vessel state workers’ comp laws are also inapplicable.

The determination that the mechanic is an independent contractor rather than a regular professional crewmember also avoids the conclusion that our

reader is automatically liable simply because he owns the boat. Under general maritime law, vessel owners and operators must provide a seaworthy vessel for the safety of paid crewmembers. This is an extremely high bar, and injuries that arise from the failure to provide a seaworthy vessel often lead to owner liability regardless of other factors relating to the accident. In this context, “seaworthy’ means more than simply keeping the vessel afloat. Courts have extended the definition of seaworthiness to include the condition and configuration of equipment and fixtures aboard the vessel, and even the competence and sobriety of fellow crewmembers. Vessel owners may be liable for injuries that arise from a failure to provide a seaworthy vessel to a paid crewmember, even when the vessel owner is not aboard the vessel and the owner is not otherwise negligent.

Notwithstanding the burdens placed upon vessel owners to provide a safe working environment to paid crewmembers, it is clear from our reader’s question that his mechanic is an independent contractor who was simply doing a job on our reader’s boat. Any legal claim against the boat owner must therefore establish that the owner was negligent, and it will also evaluate whether the mechanic’s injuries may be attributed to his own negligence as our reader contends in his case. Regardless, as noted above, he should start this process by tendering the claim to his insurance company and providing them a complete picture of the accident to aid with their investigation.

Stickleback From page 4

“We continue to watchdog development on the river and advocate for the tiny, pugnacious fish through our work to protect Southern California watersheds and forests,” the Center wrote on its website.

According to a five-year review completed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 2009, the stickleback historically was found throughout a much larger area including the Los Angeles, San Gabriel, and Santa Ana Rivers, but were extirpated from these areas as a result of of urbanization.

“The ongoing effects of urbanization, eutrophication, stream channelization, addition of water, groundwater removal, and water quality, are the most critical threats to the habitat of the UTS; substantial reduction or elimination of these threats is not expected in the near future,” the Fish and Wildlife Service wrote in the 2009 review.

The fish also made headlines in 2009, as environmental advocates fought against a proposal by Cemex, a cement company, for a project that would pump

water from the Santa Clara River to its mining project in Southern California.

Stickleback habitat protection advocates argued pumping would increase the frequency that the Santa Clara River dries up, which could lead to more stickleback getting stuck in isolated pools when the river is dry.

The fish made headlines again in 2017, as its protection became part of a deal for a housing development project dubbed the Newhall Ranch project in Northeast Los Angeles County, according to the Daily Pilot.

According to Aquarium of the Pacific, three-spine sticklebacks have recently become a major research organism for evolutionary biologists trying to understand the genetic changes involved in adapting to new environments.

Scientists believe that the many different stickleback populations in the northern hemisphere all emerged from a common marine ancestor.

“After glaciers receded, sticklebacks colonized widely divergent habitats in addition to the ocean, including freshwater lakes and rivers throughout the northern hemisphere,” the Aquarium of the Pacific wrote on its website.

Governor Gavin Newsom’s proposed 2021-22 budget, released Jan. 8, includes a proposal to raise the vessel renewal fee from $20 every two years to $70 every two years to help stabilize a $52 million deficit in the Harbors and Watercraft Revolving Fund.

Estimated revenue every two years from vessel registration fees Based On 2020 Vessel Registration Numbers As Of Nov. 30

$44.95M

By LINDSEY GLASGOW SACRAMENTO —A 250 percent increase in California’s vessel registration fee has been proposed as part of the state’s 2021-22 budget.

The fee hike from $20 to $70 biennially could be implemented as soon as July 1 but legislation would be needed to implement the change, according to budget documents. The fee increase is part of the “Fiscal Stability for Boating Programs”, which includes several other adjustments to address what California State Parks staff said will be a $52 million annual deficit in the Harbor and Watercraft Revolving Fund (HWRF), which is the primary fund source for boating programs managed by the California Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW).

“During this time, the fund has faced increasing cost pressures, such as climate-driven expansion of the Aquatic Invasive Plant Control Program (AIPCP), liabilities for Davis Dolwig payments, new fund commitments for the Public Beach Restoration Fund, and increasing employee compensation costs, without additional revenue sources,” said DBW staff in a statement emailed to The Log. Other budgetary changes included are a $13.9 million reduction in appropriations, $20 million General Fund to supplant HWRF payments to Davis Dolwig over two years, and a suspension of transfers to the Public Beach Restoration Fund. Reductions in appropriations would come from maintaining a 5 percent employment vacancy rate, making various program adjustments to the aquatic invasive species (AIS) program, ceasing the public and private marina loan program, reducing the Quagga and Zebra Mussel Infestation Grants Program Analysis of Problem, and reducing the Boat Launching Facility Grants.

“Without a proposal, we will not have sufficient resources to continue at current service levels,” said Deputy Director of Administrative Services for California State Parks Will Schaafsma during a presentation on the proposed budget at the Feb. 11 Boating and Waterways Commission meeting.

Vessel registration fees and motor vehicle fuel tax revenues attributable to boating are the primary revenue sources for the HWRF. With the proposed vessel fee increase, vessel registration revenues are estimated to increase by an average of approximately $22 million annually.

The vessel registration fee is handled by the California Department of Motor Vehicles and currently costs $20 for biennial renewal for odd-numbered year originals or $10 yearly for even-numbered years. The vessel registration fee in California was last raised

in 2005 when it was increased from $5 a year to its current level.

An increase in the vessel registration fee is expected to cost the DMV $3.25 million to modify the systems used to collects the vessel fee on behalf of DBW. Schaafsma, in his presentation, said the fee increase would be a temporary solution to avoid a negative fund balance for the next several years and a long-term revenue strategy would be put together.

One long-term strategy being considered is moving to a tiered ves-

sel registration fee system based on vessel length.

“We believe it is a more equitable approach to fee raising, similar to the way DMV charges registration fees,” Schaafsma said at the meeting.

Recreational Boaters of California, a nonprofit advocacy organization for boaters’ interests, released a statement on Jan. 29 saying the organization was not supporting the proposed 250 percent increase in the vessel registration fee starting July 1.

“RBOC took a look at it and talked to our colleagues in the boating industry and different groups and we can’t see ourselves saying yeah, let’s go for it, let’s raise the fees 250 percent,” said Jerry Desmond Jr., RBOC’s director of government relations.

RBOC in a May 2020 letter to State Parks had requested transparency as to the exact amount of boat fuel tax revenues that go to the HWRF. RBOC leaders said they didn’t receive a response until February 2021, after the budget had already come out.

Schaafsma shared details about this in his presentation at the commission meeting. He said the governor’s budget this year projects $107 million of California gas excise tax will be attributable to boaters. Out of that, $15 million would go to HWRF, with $39 million going to the General Fund and $53 million going to the State Parks and Recreation Fund (SPRF).

Scha afsma said when they spend fuel tax dollars from the SPRF, they are benefiting boaters as well, something not everyone seemed to agree with.

“The February 8 letter provided new information that confirms our concerns and raises new issues,” RBOC President Winston Bumpus said at the DBW Commission meeting. “… and confirms our suspension that boater fuel tax dollars are being steadily and increasingly redirected away from the Harbors and Watercraft Revolving Fund into the state General Fund and other funds in State Parks.”

A representative from the National Marine Manufacturers Association and several others also voiced opposition to the proposed fee increase at the Boating and Waterways Commission meeting.

RBOC said they will be actively advocating with the governor’s administration and other stakeholders to resolve these issues.

Coastal Commission Approves Oyster Shoreline Pilot Project Near Chula Vista Bayfront WHAT HAPPENED: The California Coastal Commission has approved an amendment to the Port of San Diego’s Port Master Plan for a native oyster living shoreline pilot project and study. The pilot project involves placing oyster reef ball elements near the Chula Vista bayfront with the goal of attracting and establishing native oyster populations while also protecting the shoreline from impacts related to future sea level rise.

Prior to installation and due to its proposed location, the project required

NEWPORT–In 1919 Joseph Allen Beek gained the rights to the Balboa Island Ferry, which would become “the oldest continuously operated business in Newport Beach,” said owner Seymour Beek to Newport Beach Independent in a 2019 article commemorating the ferry’s 100th anniversary.

For 100 years Beek and his family have owned the ferry that traverses the 800 feet between Balboa Peninsula and Balboa Island.

Beek started with The Ark, a wooden rowboat with an outward motor that had been fitted with back-up oars and by 1922 had built The Joker, which could fit 20 people and their vehicles.

In the 1920s a trip across the harbor would cost a rider five cents. In 2021 a one-way trip will run an adult a shocking $1.25.

The ferry continues to operate at normal hours, 6 a.m. to 12 a.m., seven days a week, with three boats that have been on the harbor since the 1950s, Admiral, Commodore, and Captain. To learn more, see the Balboa Ferry Island website balboaislandferry.com

SACRAMENTO —Whether exploring new waterways or sailing comfortably in familiar territory, after a day on your vessel, you will want to use the Pumpout Nav mobile app to find the most convenient location to dump at the pump before returning home.

Pumpout Nav—a multi-award winning free mobile app—helps boaters keep our waterways healthy and clean by locating the nearest sewage pumpout, dump station or floating restroom. This app uses the boater’s location to indicate the nearest pumpout stations on a map or as a list, providing boaters with information on amenities and supporting marinas by promoting their services. The app displays each facility’s operational status, cost, hours and detailed location within the marina. Pumpout Nav also gives instructions on how to use a pumpout station and information about the environmental risks and applicable regulations regarding sewage discharge. Boaters can use the app to directly report any mechanical issues with a pumpout to a facility, helping marinas and other waterfront facilities stay on top of repairs.

Recent updates have made this app an even more powerful tool. Now boaters can find dump stations and floating restrooms and can create a personalized account to log and plan pumpout activity, create a list of favorite sewage disposal stations and choose their boating region. The app also provides contact information for local mo-

bile pumpout companies, in case you would prefer someone else do the dirty work.

Functional pumpout stations are critical to ensure that boaters unload sewage safely, without impacting the environment and waterways we all enjoy. Pumpout Nav plays a key role in giving boaters the information and empowerment they need to make eco-friendly choices and avoid the release of raw sewage into open waters, which can create environmental and human health problems.

Released in 2017, the Pumpout Nav app is one component of California’s Clean Vessel Act Education and Outreach Program. Other states and regions currently serviced by the app include Oregon, Washington and the Lake Champlain area of Vermont, Quebec and New York.

Pumpout Nav was designed by the San Francisco Estuary Partnership in collaboration with Southern California partner The Bay Foundation. Funding for the app was provided by a Clean Vessel Act grant and administered by the California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) through the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund.

For more information or to download the app, visit DBW’s Pumpout Nav App webpage: www.boatcalifornia.com/ pumpout As a reminder, we are still in a pandemic. Before hitting the water, be sure to only boat with family members who reside in your household. The Division of Boating and Waterways has identified a set of COVID-19 boating safety best practices for the boating community based on state and national guidelines.

Crews install ECOncrete’s interlocking Coastalock Tide Pool Armor, bio-enhancing concrete blocks that mimic natural rock pools, on Harbor Island as part of a three-year pilot project.

Port of San Diego Testing Out New Tide Pool Armor as Coastal Protection on Harbor Island The interlocking armor units which mimic tide pools were installed in two locations on Harbor Island as part of a threeyear pilot project.

By LINDSEY GLASGOW SAN DIEGO —The Port of San Diego has

begun testing out a new coastal armoring system which replaced traditional riprap with bio-enhancing concrete blocks that mimic natural rock pools. The threeyear pilot project launched by the port district and eco-engineering company ECOncrete will demonstrate and study a new design of ECOncrete’s interlocking Coastalock Tide Pool Armor in two different locations on Harbor Island, a manmade peninsula only a few hundred feet wide. Installation of the technology was scheduled for Feb. 9, but was dependent on the tide conditions. Installation was anticipated to take a week for each site.

The units weigh about 6,000 pounds each and there’s a total of 72 blocks between the two Harbor Island locations, running a total of 70 feet at each of the locations.

The Tide Pool Armor replaced riprap rock mounds previously used to protect Harbor Island from storm flooding and erosion. In addition to protecting the coast, the new Tide Pool Armor is also expected to provide structural, ecological and community engagement benefits, including the promotion of marine organisms and restoration of local ecosystems.

“They have pools within each block that serves as an artificial tidal pool,” said Commissioner Rafael Castellanos of the Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners. “When all locked together it cre-

ates this artificial tidal pool ecosystem.”

The units are made of bio-enhancing concrete to promote algae, seagrass, barnacles, sea anemones and other growth, which will provide an eco-attraction for visitors and residents and also help to further stabilize the coast. Part of the pilot project will look at how long it takes for this living shoreline to grow. ECOncrete will also be evaluated every six months for the viability of the tide pool units as an ecological armoring replacement to traditional riprap.

“Coastalock is a fully load bearing, durable solution that changes the form and function of our developed coastlines - making them stronger, able to store carbon, while rejuvenating the precious coastal ecosystems, and inviting the local community to engage with their waterfront,” said ECOncrete Co-founder and CEO Dr. Shimrit Perkol-Finkel in a released statement on Feb.3.

Approved by the Board of Port Commissioners in 2019, the pilot project is the eighth to come out of the Port’s Blue Economy Incubator, a launching pad for sustainable aquaculture and port-related blue technology ventures that provides early-stage entrepreneurs with key assets and support services focused on pilot project facilitation. Castellanos said this is the first project people can actually see and interact with.

“There’s a little sidewalk next to the riprap where we’re putting in these two sections and they’ll be able to look over and see it with their own eyes, which I think is really exciting,” said Castellanos.

The Port of San Diego is the first to test out this newest edition of the Coastalock Tide Pool Armor. A previous version of the technology was installed in several locations, including Jaffa Port in Tel Aviv, Israel in 2019. ECOncrete reported that habitat forming algae had begun to grow two months after the Tide Pool Armor units were installed.

Ventura Harbor’s Annual Dredging Receives a Bump in Congressional Funding BEFORE

AFTER

Ventura Harbor started their annual dredging last week after the project received a bump in funding from Congress.

By JORDAN DARLING

A before and after shot of last year’s dredging effort in Ventura Harbor District.

VENTURA —Ventura Harbor began their annual dredging process last week after the project received almost $6.3 million in funding from congress.

Congresswoman Julia Brow nley championed the $1.45 million bump in funding adding up to $6.245 million for the Army Corps of Engineers FY2021 Work Plan which includes the dredging of Ventura Harbor.

The Army Corps of Engineers is the federal agency tasked with the dredging of the federal entrance of Ventura Harbor, with funds allocated by congress.

“One of my top priorities in congress is fighting for the economic vitality of our region,” said Congresswoman Julia Brownley in a Jan. 26 press release. “I am pleased our efforts to increase funding for local ports and harbors continue to benefit our region. Ensuring our water-side infrastructure is properly maintained and our channels are dredged to the appropriate depths will ensure our ports and harbors can continue to operate, helping to fuel our economy and keeping jobs in our region. Infrastructure investment is always critical for our econ-

omy, but especially so during this time.”

The dredging process moves the sand that is trapped in the entrance of the harbor and reutilizes it to replenish the beaches to the south of the harbor.

The beaches go through erosion throughout the year and the sand replenishes the beaches for public use and for habitat restoration for endangered creatures near the Santa Clara River like the Western Snowy Plover, a small shorebird that nests in the region.

“Dredging does multiple things, it makes sure that commerce continues to flow and of course recreational activity continues to flow in and out of the harbor safely,” said Brian Pendleton, Ventura Port District General Manager. “It has other beneficial impacts... beach restoration, habitat restoration, and support of endangered species nesting grounds.”

The Army Corps of Engineers contracts out to a private firm and are in a multi-year contract with Manson Construction Company.

Manson just finished up a dredging project in Channel Islands before heading over to Ventura Harbor.

Based on estimates leading up to the dredge they are expected to move 550,000 cubic yards of sand from the sand trap to surrounding beaches.

There has been an increase in sand in the trap over the last few weeks due to the recent storms in the area, which Pendleton said is not atypical for this time of year.

The dredge is expected to take up to a month and is estimated to finish on March 12 or 13.

Anne Eubanks Named President of Dana Point Boaters Association Eubanks, a member of the board of directors for the Dana Point Boaters Association, was named the next president of the association.

By LINDSEY GLASGOW DANA POINT—As the Dana Point Harbor

community waits for construction to begin on the long-awaited harbor revitalization project, new leadership will see boaters’ interests into this next phase.

The Dana Point Boaters Association (DPBA), a boaters’ advocacy organization, announced on Feb. 2 Anne Eubanks had been nominated and approved by the board to serve as their next president.

“I was very honored to be nominated, it’s a lot of responsibility which I don’t take lightly,” said Eubanks. “I think as a board we’ll come up with some really

great ideas to keep the education and advocacy going in the harbor.”

Eubanks has been on the DPBA board of directors since 2017 and currently also serves as the vice commodore of the Southern California Yachting Association. She was nominated to serve as the DPBA president after James Lenthall retired from the position on Jan. 25.

Eubanks got involved in sailing in 2006, shortly after moving to Aliso Viejo - where she still lives - from Missouri in 1997.

“I just had been seeing so many boating activities up and down the coast and I thought you know, that would be fun,” said Eubanks. “It was just something that was on my bucket list.”

After completing a sailing class in 2006, she bought a Catalina 28 and got a slip at Dana Point Harbor. She now has a Jeanneau 44 and is currently on a waiting list for a larger slip in the harbor.

She joined Dana Point Yacht Club in 2011 and became the club’s membership chair in 2012. She then moved through the leadership ranks at the yacht club,

serving as commodore in 2018.

It was through the yacht club she met Lenthall. She said in 2017 he asked her to interview for a position on the DPBA board of directors.

“I just thought it would be a good opportunity to help facilitate the final part of the puzzle pieces on the harbor revitalization plan,” said Eubanks.

After more than 20 years of discussions about revitalizing the now 50-yearold harbor, a major milestone was accomplished in September 2020. The California Coastal Commission approved a permit, with conditions, for Dana Point Harbor Partners’ redevelopment plan for the marina and commercial core.

“I am very hopeful that the conditions will be met this year and we’ll see construction starting late this year or early next year. We’re obviously trying to keep abreast of how fast that’s going,” said Eubanks.

Eubanks said as they wait for construction to begin on the revitalization project, DPBA will focus on their education mission. She said with the surge in

boat sales last year, there are many new boaters in the harbor.

“I think this is a good time during this lull, until construction starts, to make sure the boaters know what’s going on in the greater sphere,” said Eubanks.

As part of that, DPBA will be co-hosting a whale watching and boating safety Zoom event on March 4 in conjunction with Dana Wharf.

“I think it’s going to be a really good event that will be especially good for new boaters,” said Eubanks.

She said the association will also be providing education on various issues like the California Boater Card, now required for all boaters 40-years-old and under, and the proposed vessel registration fee increase.

Eubanks said the DPBA board will be discussing the Governor’s proposed increase in the California vessel registration fee from $20 every two years to $70 every two years at their upcoming March 3 meeting and will start to spread the word to boaters that is potentially on the horizon.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

Executive Actions Halt New Offshore Oil Drilling Leases and Commit to Conserving Oceans An Executive Order signed by President Joe Biden on Jan. 27 sets environmental goals and actions, with reaching impacts for coastal states such as California.

By LINDSEY GLASGOW AND JORDAN DARLING WA S HIN GTO N —President Joe Biden signed an Executive Order on Jan. 27, which included numerous environmen-

tal goals and actions aimed at achieving those goals. The executive actions direct the federal government to elevate climate change to a national security priority, conserve at least 30 percent of all federal land and water by 2030, suspend new leases for natural gas and oil development on federal lands and waters, create a commission focused on environmental justice and green jobs, direct federal agencies to rely on science in their rulemaking and convene a climate summit of world lead-

ers on Earth Day, April 22.

OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING President Biden’s executive order created a temporary moratorium on new federal oil and gas drilling leases, including in the Pacific Ocean off the Southern California coast. This doesn’t change much for California, as new offshore drilling has not been allowed in federal waters along the Pacific Coast since 1984.

However, in 2018, the Trump administra-

5 and several hotels are including a complimentary breakfast or cheese and wine hour. Each of the offered packages under “Best of Winter” offers round-trip tickets for the Catalina Express. For more information see the Catalina Express website.

The Log reported in the Feb. 5 issue Catalina has reopened outdoor dining.

Restaurants are authorized to use public spaces like the walkways and beaches for outdoor seating from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. through March 16.

Several restaurants have already started to utilize the space, including Catalina Cantina, Coyote Joe’s, El Galleon, Luau Larry’s, The M, Maggie’s Blue Rose, Mi Casitas, Steve’s Steakhouse, and NDMK Seafood.

For a full list of what’s open, visit lovecatalina.com and click on the “what’s open” tab.

For fans of the great outdoors, Catalina campgrounds, reopened on Feb. 12.

For campers looking to stay close to one of the two towns, Two Harbors campground and Hermit Gulch in Avalon Canyon are both short hikes away from the perspective towns and other trails.

If you are looking for something more challenging, there are three remote campgrounds accessible through strenuous hikes, Parsons Landing, Little Harbor, and Black Jack. For more information, see visitcatalina.com.

tion released a five-year offshore leasing plan that proposed opening up the west coast to new drilling, a proposal that was blocked by the courts.

While Biden’s executive orders solidify the long-followed guideline of no new offshore drilling in federal waters along the Pacific Coast, it has more impacts on states such as Louisiana that depend on oil for jobs.

The same day President Biden signed the Executive Order, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) introduced similar legislation, the West Coast Ocean Protection Act. If approved, oil and gas drilling in federal waters off the coast of California, Oregon, and Washington would be permanently banned.

“California understands all too well the danger that offshore drilling poses to our oceans and coastal economies,” said Senator Feinstein in a statement released on Jan. 27.

New offshore oil drilling in state waters, which include all waters three miles from the shore, has been banned since 1969. California blocked all new offshore oil drilling in state waters after an oil rig off the coast of Santa Barbara leaked 3 million gallons of crude oil into the ocean in 1969. The state reinforced the ban in 1994 bypassing the California Coastal Sanctuary Act, which prohibitPlease see LEG UP, PAGE 21

CALENDAR EVENT  The 49th annual Festival of Whales Parade by Dana Point Harbor.

Photo provided by Dana Point Harbor

Festival of Whales, a 50-year legacy

By JORDAN DARLING DANA POINT—The Festival of Whales will continue a 50-year legacy with a combination of in-person and virtual events on March 6 and 7.

The festival was started by Don Hansen in 1971 after Hansen bought and moved his sportfishing and whale watching business to the Dana Point Wharf.

That legacy remains in the family, Hansen’s daughter Donna Kalez is co-president of Dana Wharf Sportfishing and Whale Watching and is one of the organizers for the festival.

The festival celebrates the annual migration of gray whales as they pass through Dana Point. It is believed the whales use the Dana Point headlands as a landmark on their migration.

The event is marked with whale and dolphin watching trips out of Dana Point Harbor and a series of other educational events throughout the weekend to engage the community and teach about the local marine fauna.

The usual two-weekend event was cut short last year because of COVID restrictions but that didn’t stop organizers from finding a way to host the event this year.

“Here we are a year later and we get to have the 50th annual Festival of Whales so we get to continue the legacy,” said

Kalez.

K alez and Gisele A nderson, copresident of Dave’s Dolphin and Whale Safari, marked the 49th anniversary by facilitating Dana Point being named the Dolphin and Whale watching capital of the world and will mark the 50th with a designation as the third Whale Heritage Site in the world and the first in North America by the World Cetacean Alliance.

COVID restrictions have limited this year’s activities, the parade, street fair, and concert have been canceled.

But participants can still come down and get their Festival of Whales commemorative tee-shirt with a groovy logo

by Lynlea Micheals showcasing a 1970s flair to match the festival’s origin, walk around the harbor for the Harbor Music Series and the Dana Point Fine Arts Association art show, and sign up for whale watching tours throughout the weekend.

There will also be live virtual events that people can enjoy, like the Splash Dash Virtual 5 K and Kid’s 1-mile fun run, and a virtual walking tour through the historic town center.

IN MEMORIAM: Tim De Freitas

By JORDAN B. DARLING SAN DIEGO —Tim De Freitas, a San Diego local and a chief engineer with OSG out of Tampa, Fl., passed away unexpectedly on Jan. 9.

Tim was born and raised in San Diego and was a 1973 grad of Chula Vista High School.

Tim’s early fishing trips with his dad and brother Tom influenced his passion for the water and fishing and led him to a career in commercial tuna fishing on Ed Gann’s Purse Seiner, The Bold Adventuress, before joining OSG.

and floats from extending beyond the pierhead line and is intended to layout the process for exceptions to this rule. It most often applies when the city considers residential dock reconfiguration applications.

The City Council recently requested that the Harbor Commission review the policy to provide recommendations on how and when exceptions may be made.

At its Feb. 10 meeting, the commission formed a subcommittee, chaired by Commissioner Gary Williams, to look at this policy and put recommendations together for the City Council. Commissioner Don Yahn and Chair Bill Kenney were also appointed to the subcommittee.

The Harbor Commission also reviewed Council Policy H-1 back in June 2019 and the commission’s proposed changes were approved by the Council in November 2019.

In a separate agenda item at the meeting, the Harbor Commission discussed establishing formal rules of procedures to ensure that the commission’s duties are performed in accordance with its new designation in the City Charter. A ballot

opened for the Helly Hansen National Offshore One Design (NOOD) Regatta in San Diego, March 19 through the 21.

The regatta is an official US Sailing sanctioned event organized by Sailing World and hosted by San Diego and Coronado Yacht Clubs.

The regatta is open to any boat that is either an active member of a recognized class association, or a boat that meets the criteria established for this regatta by the class coordinator for entry in a level class. The first warning signal is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. on Friday, March 19, and 11:30 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, March 20 and 21.

Each boat’s series score will be the sum of scores for all races, no score will be excluded. One race will constitute a series. Prizes will be awarded by class and each class winner is eligible for the 2021 Helly Hansen Caribbean NOOD Championship.

Registration can be completed at online at yachtscoring. com/notice_board_summary. cfm?eid=13225. Late entries will be subject to a late fee of $50 if received on or after March 8.

measure, approved by Newport Beach voters in the Nov. 3, 2020 election, made the advisory council a “charter designated” board. With the new designation, the Harbor Commission is officially recognized as a commission in the Newport Beach City Charter.

“As such, the role of the Harbor Commission is to advise the City Council on matters relating to the harbor and to serve as a reviewing body of decisions made by the harbormaster,” said Assistant City Manager Carol Jacobs at the commission meeting.

A f ter becoming a cha rter designated board, the commission requested more formal rules of procedures to clearly identify how meetings will be conducted.

City staff adapted the formalized rules of procedures used by the Planning Commission for the Harbor Commission. Those rules of procedures were pre-

Event organizers emphasized COVID protocols and the San Diego Health Order Guidelines will be followed. According to the notice of race (NOR), all boats are required to abide by the state and local laws, guidelines and recommendations as well as the host club’s restrictions with regard to the COVID-19 virus. The NOR also stated due to the uncertainty of these times with health regulations, there may be some changes to the NOR and the schedule as to locations and procedures.

Links to these documents will be posted on the Official Notice Board located at yachtscoring. com/notice_board_summary. cfm?eid=13225 as they become available.

The Helly Hansen NOOD Regatta in San Diego will be the first in the NOOD series, followed by events in Florida, Maryland, Chicago, Massachusetts, and the championship held in the Caribbean.

The NOOD series was founded in Newport, Rhode Island, by the editors of Sailing World in 1988 to help foster the growing interest in racing one design keelboats. Celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2018, the NOODs have five national events each year and one international championship.

sented to the commissioners for their consideration at the Feb. 10 meeting. The procedures, in part, formalize in writing many practices already in place.

Jacobs said the most significant change in operating would be the inclusion of a resolution for certain items before the Harbor Commission, such as items related to property rights and appealable items, which would require the commission to identify the reasons for the approval or denial.

“It makes it a much more formal process because it’s there in black and white,” Jacobs said at the meeting. “If it were to get appealed, the Council can really clearly see and understand what your reasoning was as a commission to make that decision.”

The commission decided to push any decision on the rules of procedures to next month’s meeting.

The SeaCleaners Premieres Design for Trash Eating Sailboat Redondo Beach Harbor Commission Meets to Discuss Harbor Revitalization The commission met on Feb. 8 and appointed a subcommittee to create a request for proposal for a revitalization project.

By JORDAN DARLING REDONDO —In a Feb. 8 meeting of the Redondo Beach Harbor Commission, the committee discussed and wordsmithed a request for proposal for the King Harbor Revitalization project.

The project was presented to the Redondo Beach City Council on Jan. 12 and was sent over to the Harbor Commission after a substitute motion was presented

by Councilmember Laura Emdee to allow the Harbor Commission to make a recommendation on the project.

Stephen Proud, the waterfront and economic development director and staff director for the Harbor Commission, presented a preliminary RFP to the commission which served as a jumping-off point for a debate about the wording and scope of the project.

One of the larger concerns of the project was the timeline, as projects for

PARIS, FRANCE—On Jan. 26, SeaCleaners released the design for The Manta, an eco-designed sailboat for collecting large amounts of marine waste.

The boat operates on a renewable energy power supply and a hybrid propulsion system that will allow the boat to operate on its own 75 percent of the time.

“Reducing plastic pollution at the source, through awareness and education, is essential in the long term,” said Yvan Bourgon, president and founder of SeaCleaners in a Feb. 8 email.

“But it will take years if not decades before we see the results of this approach. In the meantime, every minute, 17 tons of plastic waste continues to pour into our oceans. The urgency to act is now. That is why we designed the Manta. It is a concrete, prag-

revitalization have been presented in the past but rarely make it out of the planning phase. Commissioner Vicki Callahan compared the process to the popular Bill Murray movie “Groundhogs Day.” Commissioner Jim Light’s plan to mitigate time was to create a subcommittee within the harbor commission, have the city council choose a consultant, and between the committee, consultant, and staff they could create a plan ready for review and recommendation within six months.

Proud’s draft RFP laid out a plan to run a parallel project focusing on the boat ramp, sportfishing pier, and Moonstone Park. Moonstone Park would run as a separate but congruent project, as was discussed in the Redondo Beach City Council meeting on Jan. 12.

The commission spent the rest of the discussion fine-tuning the wording of the

matic solution to produce immediate and visible results in the face of this global ecological disaster. We will never say that the Manta alone can solve the problem of marine plastic pollution.

But, in this long-term fight, it is essential to do our share, to highlight even the most modest of victories and, in doing so, to awaken consciences. This is the goal of the Manta.”

The Manta is a one-of-akind design that will be 100 percent effective at collecting plastic waste at sea, and the waste will then be manually sorted and converted into renewable energy.

The Manta will work in countries with significant marine plastic waste, mainly in South America, Africa, and Asia. Twenty companies are working with five different labs to launch The Manta in 2024.

draft RFP. The majority of the commission agreed the boat ramp was a priority and would serve as the linchpin for the project. In the end, there were eight amendments made to the draft RFP; A location and design of a boat ramp; Replacement of the sportfishing pier, if any; A design of Seaside Lagoon or event space; An enhanced promenade and an improved experience in Basin C; A location and designation of a dingy dock; Consideration of a larger event space outside of Seaside Lagoon; Amenities, and attractions, like art, and a possible educational attraction; A sustainable environmental design.

To hammer out the exact wording, Commissioners Roger Carlson and Steven Walters were assigned to a two-person subcommittee to meet with Proud and his team before reporting back at the March 8 meeting.

san diego fish report SPRING FISHING IS NOT FAR AWAY BUT ANGLERS ARE STILL HAVING TO DODGE WINTER STORMS

By Bob Vanian of 976Bite.com The best of the winter fishing has been found in Mexican waters for boats that have been running 1.5-day trips to fish the Mexican coast outside of Punta Colnett. The fishing being found off Punta Colnett has been very good for a mixed bag of yellowtail, reds, lingcod, and assorted rockfish.

Researchers at University of California, Santa Barbara and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife studied how two marine protected areas off the Santa Barbara coast impacted spiny lobster landings in the area.

By LINDSEY GLASGOW

SANTA BARBARA —A newly published

study has found that despite marine protected areas taking away from available fishing grounds off the Santa Barbra coast, they actually contributed to an increase in landings of spiny lobsters.

A group from the University of California, Santa Barbara, Hunter Lenihan, Daniel Reed, Jordan Gallagher, Joseph Peters; and Adrian Stier and Jennifer Hofmeister from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, studied lobster density and landings inside and on the borders of two established MPAs off the coast of Santa Barbara both before they became protected areas and six years after the designation. According to the results of the study, published in Scientific Reports on Jan. 29, there was a 35 percent reduction in fishing areas resulting from the MPA designations but it was compen-

sated for by a 225 percent increase in total catch after six years.

“We also answered a big question, what is the overall effect, the net effect on the fishery? If you take away some of their fishing ground, do you make up for that by increasing the number of animals they can catch because of spillover?” said Lenihan, the senior author of the study and professor at UCSB’s Bren School of Environmental Science & Management.

The group analyzed data collected by divers within and outside the Naples State Marine Conservation Area and Campus Point State Marine Conservation Area immediately before and six years after the MPA establishment in 2012, to determine the effects of the MPAs on lobster density, size and biomass. Researchers found the density and biomass of lobsters increased after the MPAs were established, in both fished and unfished plots.

“You can have your cake and eat it too Please see LOBSTER, PAGE 20

The most recent fish count coming from the Punta Colnett area was from Pacific Queen out of Fisherman’s Landing that had 34 anglers on a 1.5-day trip and caught 17 yellowtail, 97 rockfish, 53 reds, and 13 lingcod.

Most of the yellowtail being caught off Punta Colnett have been quality-sized fish that are in the 15 to 25-pound class.

Punta Colnett yellowtail usually bites best from stopping on meter marks or sonar marks and fishing deep with yo-yo iron or with mackerel or sardines that are fished on dropper loop rigs.

Los Coronado Islands have not been fished much lately but when boats have gone out there to give it a try there have been good numbers of bottom fish species biting with reds, salmon grouper, whitefish, and an occasional lingcod making up the bulk of the catch.

The yellowtail fishing around Los Coronado Islands has been slow with the Middle Grounds, the area on the inside of the South Kelp Ridge, and the Flats inside of South Island being zones where there has been occasional yellowtail activity reported. The winter season has also seen occasional flashes of bonito activity found around North Island.

The most recent sport boat count that I know of from Los Coronado Islands was from Alicia out of H&M Landing that posted a fish count of eight anglers catching 25 reds, 30 whitefish, 2 lingcod, and 1 sheephead.

Good bottom fishing areas around Los Coronado Islands have been at the hard bottom to the north and the northwest of North Island in 35 to 50 fathoms

as well as hard bottom spots to the east and northeast of North Island in 20 to 25 fathoms. Another productive rockfish zone has been fishing the ridge below and outside of South Island in 25 to 40 fathoms. The area of the Rockpile has also been producing some rockfish along with an occasional legal-sized lingcod.

Most of the recent fishing activity in the San Diego region has been done by boats fishing along the San Diego County coast that have been able to get in some fishing between the recent periods of bad weather. Skippers fishing on the U.S. side of the Mexico border continue to focus their efforts on species that are open to fishing such as calico bass, sand bass, sculpin, halibut, and yellowtail. Anglers have also found occasional white seabass activity incidental to the yellowtail fishing but for most anglers, the white seabass fishing has been slow.

The yellowtail and white seabass fishing has been scratchy but there have been a few yellowtail biting for boats fishing outside of the stretch of coast between the Jetty Kelp outside of Mission Bay and Del Mar. The upper end of La Jolla tends to be the best and a good depth range to be looking in has been in 18 to 40 fathoms.

Yellowtail has been located by finding meter marks, sonar marks, and spots of breaking fish that are usually found around working birds. Finding areas of bait is a way to try and be located in an area where yellowtail might be likely to show. Locating mackerel bait schools has Please see FISH REPORT, PAGE 21

A State Fish in all Fifty States FEATURED CATCH Tuna Takeover  Independence Sportfishing shared this catch from a Feb. 6 trip, saying in a Facebook post: “pretty good fishing down here as evidenced by these photos.”

In a Feb. 10 Facebook post, the Independence Sportfishing crew said they’ve had some incredible fishing the past few days with some hot and heavy fishing with some 160-200 pounders in the mix at times.

Two anglers from Virginia took a year off of college to catch a state fish in all 50 states.

By JORDAN DARLING VIRGINIA —Luke Conson and Daniel Balserak, two best friends from Virginia, delayed their college admission to Clemson University to catch a state fish in every state.

The two anglers would have started college in Fall 2020, but because of the ongoing pandemic, they would have started their first semester online.

Rather than staring at a computer screen, the two guys came up with a challenge that would test their fishing skills and allow them to explore the rest of the country.

On Aug. 22, 2020, Conson and Balesrak took off in a borrowed minivan to catch the state fish in all 50 states. The rules are pretty simple, they each have to catch a fish in that state before they can move on to the next.

“The original idea was to catch a fish in all 50, but several people have done that.” said Conson, “[Something] more unique, no one has caught all 50-state fish and you know we are pretty competitive and no one wants to be the one to not catch [a fish].”

The guys are using a bit of their college fund and a GoFundMe set up on their website to fund the excursion. They said the most expensive part is gas and fishing licenses for each state. To circumvent other costs, they are sleeping in Bass Pro parking lots and eating quite a bit of ramen in the true college student fashion.

To find their next spot, the guys spend some time online checking out Reddit and other online forums and then they ask the local bait shops.

So far, they have already made it more than halfway through their challenge and according to their website have spent 105 nights sleeping in the minivan and have traveled over 22,000 miles.

Their favorite fishing spot was the Penobscot River in Maine because of the scenery and interactions with wildlife, including a moose sighting and a couple of bald eagles. However, their favorite state was Wisconsin for the friendly people, and the state fish, the muskellunge, fondly called the musky.

“Musky [was the] best fish of the trip they are incredible, they are like dinosaurs...we appreciate the level of difficultly and rarity of them.” said Balserak.

As of Feb. 5, they were in North Carolina looking for the Southern Appalachian Brook Trout and on their 29th state.

“We were outside of Ashville...fishing for brook trout.” said Conson, “Daniel caught one yesterday [but] we didn’t catch any today, winter is not a great time for them [but] you can still catch them.”

Winter can be a challenging time for any angler and these two are no exception. With a good portion of water frozen over, Conson and Balserak are forced to look for running water to avoid breaking the ice and scaring the skittish trout.

After North Carolina, the guys will head down to South Carolina and Georgia before heading further west.

If you want to follow their journey, you can find them on Instagram under @fishallfifty and their website fishallfifty.us.

California Department of Fish and Wildlife said two men were found in joint possession of 16 abalone on Jan. 30.

By LINDSEY GLASGOW

LONG BEACH —Two men were recently cited for allegedly poaching abalone in the waters off Long Beach. A California Depa r tment of Fish a nd W i ld life (CDFW) law enforcement division officer and officers with the Long Beach Police Department were on a joint agency boat patrol in and around Long Beach Harbor on the night of Jan. 30 when they found two men in possession of 16 abalone, CDFW reported.

CDFW said the officers observed the silhouettes of two subjects on the rocks of a jetty and the wildlife officer attempted to make contact. After a brief foot pursuit

and with the help of the LBPD Air Support Unit, the officers located two men hiding in the rocks who were in joint possession of 16 abalone, according to CDFW. “To get someone taking 16 abalone that’s a really big deal,” said CDFW Lt. Michele Budish.

A moratorium was established in 1997 for the take of abalone, commercial or recreational, south of the Golden Gate Bridge after the population neared collapse, said a Feb. 3 press release from CDFW. A statewide closure of any abalone harvest took effect in mid-2017 as the red abalone population has continued to decline, mostly due to environmental stressors, the press release went on to say The recreational closure of abalone harvest has since been extended north of the Golden Gate Bridge until 2026.

The state’s Fish and Game Code section 12006.6 states if a person is convicted of taking or possessing more than 12 abalone at one time, they will face a fine of minimum of $15,000 and maximum

A pair of poachers are accused of illegally taking 16 abalone from the Southern California coast on Jan. 30. of $40,000, have their commercial fishing license revoked and not be eligible for any fishing license or permit for sport or commercial purposes.

As for the abalone, Budish said they appeared to be in survivable condition and were returned to the ocean.

“Based on the condition they were found in it was very promising they were

going to survive,” Budish said.

Dana Point Designated as a Whale Heritage Site

It is thought that grey whales use the Dana Point Headlands as a landmark during their yearly migration.

Dana Point business competitors worked together to gain world recognition as the first Whale Heritage Site in North America.

By JORDAN DARLING DANA POINT— Donna Kalez, co-president of Dana Wharf S p o r t fi s h i n g a n d W h a l e Watching, and Gisele Anderson, co-president of Dave’s Dolphin and Whale Safari are business competitors and friends who have accomplished something remarkable.

In January of this year, Dana Point was recognized as the first Whale Heritage site in North America and one of four in the world by the World Cetacean Alliance.

The WCA is one of the largest

Bob Vanian’s

marine conservation groups in the world, made up of different businesses, NGOs, and other individuals, that launched in 2013.

Kalez was already a member of the alliance and when she attended a WCA meeting in Boston, Massachusetts she was inspired to pursue a designation for Dana Point.

Anderson shortly joined after Kalez and the two started a mission to have Dana Point designated as a Whale Heritage Site.

The overall process took three years, from trademarking Dana

Point as the Dolphin and Whale watching capital of the world to “dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s” on the application.

The actual application for the Whale Heritage Site was over 100 questions showcasing that Dana Point has integrated whales and dolphins into its culture, provides education, public outreach, research, and conservation efforts.

Kalez and Anderson had to create a steering committee made up of seven people throughout the community of Dana Point, members came from education, nonprofit, and political backgrounds.

“It’s a lot of different folks to whom this designation does make a difference and they have a role in helping us keep that designation,” said Anderson.

tion of dolphins and whales into the culture of Dana Point is a group effort between community groups like the Ocean Institute, which takes out 100,000 kids a year to teach about the marine environment and the Nature Interpretive Center on the Dana Point headlands showcasing the landmark for the gray whale’s migratory pattern.

Applications are reviewed once a year by a panel of scientists, conservationists, and researchers from around the world, and candidates are expected to continue to show their merits each year. “[The application process] is a testament to the WCA, they are very thorough.” said Kalez “They are not just going to hand it out to a whale watching company that works in a great place that has whales. That’s not what they are doing [and] it really is a wonderful thing and it highlights Dana Point.”

The application was turned in a month-and-a-half before the panel met to review the yearly applications, and between prep-work from Kalez and Anderson and good timing, the application was fast-tracked to two-months.

“It’s the old adage, a high tide raises all boats, and we recognize it benefits Dana Point and it benefits the animals and [that’s] where our hearts and souls are its not just business for us...it goes really deep,” said Anderson.

in a sense, because we’re protecting lobsters and other organisms in the reserves and then we’re not negatively impacting the fishery,” said Lenihan. “We’ve shown that happened in this case.”

Researchers also used landing data of lobster catch and fishing effort from the CDFW collected six years before and six years after MPA establishment.

The study compared different fishing blocks, one containing the two MPAs and three surrounding blocks without MPAs. A na ly se s of c om mercia l fishing landing data showed annual lobster landings more than doubled in the six years after MPA establishment in the block with the two MPAs despite a 35 percent reduction in the fishable area. Fishery-dependent catch data showed lobster landings in the fishing block with MPAs increased by approximately 225 percent after the reserves were implemented compared with an average increase of 19 percent in the three blocks without MPAs. Many studies have shown MPAs can enhance adjacent fisheries through increased export of eggs and larvae and through increased fish populations spilling over out of the protected region. Lenihan said they wanted to study the specific impacts of MPAs for the spiny lobster fishery off the Santa Barbara coast.

“It’s important to show it here, because the impact is here,” said Lenihan. “We’ve taken away significant amount of lobster fishing area that impacts fishers here with the idea that they may make up for that someday through spillover. We’ve shown yes, they did make up for that in spillover.”

He said now they’re broadening the research and looking into the effect of MPAs on the spiny lobster fishery across the entire Southern California coast in a study that is ongoing.
