BIZARRE
Ships Logs Released Over a Year After Mysterious Drones Swarmed By: JORDAN B. DARLING CHANNEL ISLANDS — In July 2019 several U.S. Destroyers were swarmed by a group of unidentified unmanned aerial vehicles, UAVs, several times near Channel Islands. Dave Beaty, a documentary filmmaker, uncovered the initial details of the event in 2020. “D id t he n av y sh ip #US SK idd #DDG100 encounter a UAP in July 2019 in SoCal OPAREA Trying to find out more,” said Beaty in a June 8, 2020, tweet. “The ship logs indicate a “Snoopy Team’’ was deployed - an intel section that tries to visually ID objects. DM if you know more. Near San Clemente island #TicTac @UfoJoe11.” After Beaty’s tweet, a group of reporters at The Drive began submitting Freedom of Information Act requests that resulted in a huge release of documents that included deck logs and hundreds of gigabytes of locational data that showed
where the ships were when the flyovers took place, according to an April 1 article from UAV Coach. The paperwork showed that the USS Kidd, USS Rafael Peralta, USS John Finn, and the USS Paul Hamilton were in a training exercise in a military area 100 miles off of Los Angeles, according to a March 23 article from The Drive. Around 10 p.m. on July 14 the lookouts on the USS Kidd spotted a couple of UAVs The Ship Nautical Or Otherwise Photographic Interpretation and Exploration team, SNOOPIE, an onboard photographic intelligence team, was in charge of documenting the event and the unknown contacts. After reporting the UAVs to the other ships, the USS John Finn and the USS Rafael Peralta activated their own teams. The log shows that the USS Rafael Peralta reported white lights hovering above the flight deck, and documented a search for the unidentified UAVs. The encounter lasted over 90 minutes and the log showed that the UAV
matched the destroyer’s speed in low visibility conditions, according to the article from The Drive. On July 15 a similar event occurred, at 8:39 p.m. the USS Rafael Peralta spotted the UAVs and by 9 p.m. the USS Kidd had also spotted the UAVs and by 9:20 p.m. reported that there were multiple UAVs surrounding the ship. The Drive posits that the UAVs appeared to be following the ships, and that an entry in the log that said “Man Mark 87 Stations” could potentially be about the Mark 87 Electro-Optical Director, a component of the massive infrared and optical turret used to direct the ship’s 5-inch gun and is used for long-distance surveillance. Roughly around this time the USS Russell recorded five to six UAVs that were moving in all directions. The final sighting was from the USS Russell at midnight. After three hours they were still unable to identify the UAVs. An official investigation was started on July 17 that involved Naval Criminal

The investigation appears to have gone cold as of July 25 but the UAVs picked back up again on July 25 and 30. The USS Kidd spotted them again at 1:20 a.m. on July 25 and again on July 30 at 2:15 a.m. The investigation is still underway, and there is no information about who operated the UAVs, or where they came from.

Former failed RB City Council candidate Doug Rodriguez, a buddy of Chris Voisey and Arnette Travis, filed an anonymous*, FPPC complaint against these same people and ROW, and it, too, was just dismissed as being without merit.

FAST FACTS
109th Anniversary of the Titanic By: JORDAN B. DARLING N E W F O U N D L A N D, C A N A D A
— On the night of April 14, the British luxury liner Titanic struck an iceberg, 400-miles south of Newfoundland, Canada, and sunk into the icy waters of the North Atlantic Ocean taking over 1,500 lives. The Titanic was part of a class of large liners built by White Star Line to compete with another company. The liners were to be known for their comfort and luxurious amenities compared to the competitor’s speed, according to an April 9 article from Britannica. In the original construction, there were 16 compartments with watertight doors that were supposed to contain water in case the hull was breached. The Titanic’s maiden voyage embarked on April 10, 1912, setting its course for France, Ireland, and finally New York City. Investigations run after the ship sunk showed the wireless radio operators received warnings about icebergs and on April 14 the ship’s captain Edward J. Smith altered the course to compensate for the warning but maintained a speed of 22 knots, roughly 25 miles per hour. There was a warning about an ice field from the Mesaba around 10 p.m. that never reached the bridge and at 10:55 p.m. the Californian sent a message after having to stop because they were stuck in ice, according to Britannica. Just before midnight April 14, the Titanic failed to evade
an iceberg and was cut along the side rupturing five of the 16 compartments pulling the bow of the ship down. The stern was pulled almost vertical and the Titanic snapped in half and sunk at roughly 2:20 a.m. according to This Day in History, on history.com. Distress signals were sent out to the nearest ships, the Carpathia was the closest to answer the distress call and was almost three hours away. The Californian had turned off their wireless for the night and never received the call. Twenty lifeboats were on the ship and loaded with women and
children before being sent off. The lifeboats could hold roughly 60 people and did not match the number of passengers and staff on the liner. The Carpathia did not arrive until 3:30 a.m. to save the survivors, according to Britannica. There were two investigations into the tragedy of the Titanic, the United States was the first to investigate between April 19 and May 25, 1912. The U.S faulted the British Board of Trade for lax regulations and hasty inspections, Smith for refusing to slow down given the ice warnings, and Captain Stanley Lord of the Californian who was 23 miles away when his crew reported there was a ship without lights and rather than turning the wireless back on, told his crew to use light morse code to communicate. In 1985, the first underwater images of the Titanic were recovered, showing the ship in two pieces 13,000-feet below the ocean surface.

QUESTION: I am considering buying a 39-foot sailing yacht that was
built from a kit on a vacant lot. The boat was never completed or put in the water, and it has been stored on private property since the death of the owner five years ago. The property was recently sold, and the new owners of the property would like to get rid of the boat to make room for the house that they plan to build. Unfortunately, no title paperwork appears to exist for the boat, I don’t think it has ever been documented or registered, and there is no hull identification number. Under these circumstances, can the property owners legally sell the boat to me? If I go forward with the purchase will I be able to document the boat with the Coast Guard once I’ve completed construction? ANSWER: The purchase of an unfinished boat that has never been registered is similar to the
purchase of any other type of unregistered personal property. If you buy a refrigerator at a ga-
Dog Aboard
rage sale you don’t really know whether the person selling the property has the right to sell it, so you look at as much of the surrounding information as you can, and you pull the trigger if you think it all looks ok. For a boat, the biggest questions would involve how and why the boat is unregistered, and whether the circumstances of the sale are such that the person who is selling the boat appears to have a legitimate right to sell the boat. The most significant risks faced by a potential
buyer would be that the person selling the boat is fraudulently in possession and therefore has no right to sell it; and that the real owner will show up some day and claim that the purchase should be voided. For the most part this is not a legal inquiry. It is instead a research project that the buyer must complete through investigation of the surrounding facts. For our reader, the purchase seems pretty safe. With all due See ATTORNEY page 11

Reducing copper levels in marinas across Southern California has been a renewed goal of the State Water Resources Control Board; some regions have been at it for years and others are poised to face new regulations in the coming years, what progress has been made and what’s the future of copper regulations? By: LINDSEY GLASGOW
THELOG.COM
A More Than Decade Long Battle with More Efforts on the Horizon SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — Reducing copper levels in Southern California marinas from boat hull paint has been a years-long battle. Many believe it is one that is likely to continue until the industry and boating community find a paint alternative that can keep growth off and is cost effective. “From our perspective and with over a decade of involvement in this issue, we believe that there needs to be more em-
phasis at an industry level to truly see a change in paints and alternative paint use,” said Karen Holman, Port of San Diego director of environmental protection, in an email. “A balance is needed, that takes into account water quality, beneficial uses of bays and harbors, copper and alternative paints, and in-water hull cleaning strategies that ensure boating remains an economically viable recreational pastime.”
“From our perspective and with over a decade of involvement in this issue, we believe that there needs to be more emphasis at an industry level to truly see a change in paints and alternative paint use,” Karen Holman, Port of San Diego Director of Environmental Protection.
San Diego’s Shelter Island Yacht Basin was the first area in Southern California to have a total maximum daily load policy (TMDL) for copper due to the water body having significantly higher dissolved copper levels than the state regulatory limit of 3.1 mg/L. The TMDL puts a limit on the amount of pollutant a receiving water body can accept in order to protect its beneficial uses. Marina del Rey now also has a TMDL requirement due to similarly high levels of copper. Copper is a common component in hull paint as it repels marine organisms which attach themselves to boat bottoms and can significantly slow the vessel, alter maneuverability, and damage the hull. However, it can leach into marina basins impairing water quality and threatening the health of aquatic systems. The state still allows copper-based paints that are registered with and meet the Department of Pesticide Regulation registration requirements for pesticide usage. High leach rate paints, those with 9.5 micrograms per square centimeter per day or more, were required to be phased out by 2020. The future of copper regulations in other locations, such as Newport Bay and Ventura and Los Angeles counties, are poised to ramp up over the course of the next four years. Reducing copper levels in these areas has been named as a priority for 2020 through 2025 by both the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board and Santa Regional Water Quality Control Board. Every five years the State Water Resources Control Board publishes a Nonpoint Source Implementation Plan identifying priority projects to reduce water pollution in the state’s rivers, streams, lakes, beaches, bays, and groundwater. The state’s Nonpoint Source Implementation Plan for 2020-2025 includes plans to implement a TMDL policy for Newport Bay, which is expected to come out before summer, and streamlining regulations across all saltwater marinas in all of Los Angeles and Ventura counties in the same manner as Marina del Rey Harbor. “We want to maintain the consistency in our regulation, that’s really the main purpose of treating every harbor in the same manor,” said Jun Zhu, a senior environmental scientist and TMDL section chief for the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board. Since the NPS Implementation Plan was released, the Marine Recreational Association has continued to raise concerns about the blanket approach to copper controls and has been involved in continuing discussions with the Los Angeles water board about the plan. “You got marinas that aren’t an issue, why would you blanket us all with the same rules and requirements? That, from my perspective I think is unfair,” said Mark Sandoval, a past president of MRA and current Channel Islands Harbor Director. Another goal listed in the NPS Implementation Plan is to adopt a conditional waiver of Waste Discharge Requirement for the discharge of biocides from Please see COPPER, PAGE 15

LOCAL Former Harbor Commissioner Paul Blank Announced as Newport Beach Harbormaster NEWPORT BEACH— Former Newport Beach Harbor Commissioner Paul Blank has been selected as Newport Beach’s new Harbormaster it was announced at the April 14 Harbor Commission meeting. “I could not be any more excited to have him on board and to work with him,” said Assistant City Manager Carol Jacobs. Jacobs said he is currently going through his background check and would officially be on board soon. Blank served eight years on the Harbor Commission from 2012 to 2020. He grew up in Newport Beach, where he learned to sail at 8 years old. Blank is taking over for Kurt Borsting, who retired in early April. Borsting has served as harbormaster for Newport Beach since December 2018. At the March 10 Harbor Commission meeting, Chair Bill Kenney presented Borsting with an award for his service to the city. As harbormaster, Blank will direct harbor-related programs and services, including moorings administration and management, Marina Park slip rentals, code enforcement, and harbor safety and maintenance activities.
BeachLife Festival Announces it Will Return to Redondo Beach Sept. 10-12 REDONDO BEACH— The harbor-front
music festival BeachLife will return to Redondo Beach’s Seaside Lagoon Sept. 10-12. This will be the second iteration of the event, which was first held in 2019 and canceled last year due to the COVID19 pandemic. “It is with cautious optimism and a sense of gratitude for our community’s patience that we update everyone on BeachLife’s plans for 2021,” posted BeachLife Festival on its Facebook page on April 9. “Over the last few months, we have taken great care with respect to our communications in order to minimize confusion and not create a false sense of optimism -- but at the same [time], we ARE optimistic that life is moving slowly back towards a new normal. So with great excitement tempered by a new reality, we will be rescheduling the festival to take place on Sep 10-12, 2021.” More information regarding lineup, COVID-19 related guidelines, and refunds will be forthcoming. Organizers said they are working to finalize the artist performances, which include a significant number of artists from the 2020 lineup as well as some new developments. An initial limited sale of tickets began April 12 online at thebeachlifefestival.com. For those who held tickets from 2020 and cannot attend the new September dates, refunds will soon be opened.
Royal Caribbean Set to Cruise from California for First Time in a Decade SAN PEDRO— Royal Caribbean has
announced it will base a cruise ship in California after a 10-year-long hiatus. On March 17, the line announced the recently refurbished Navigator of the Seas will homeport in Los Angeles beginning in November 2021, offering year-round sailings to Mexico. The new itineraries opened for sale the week of April 12. The voyages include three, four, and five-night itineraries to Catalina Island, Ensenada, and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. “California was calling us home once again, and what better way to reintroduce Royal Caribbean than to bring our next-level cruise vacations to the City of Angels and make it a year-round adventure starting just in time for summer,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International, in a March 17 released statement. “We’re excited to return to Los Angeles…” The ship received $115 million in enhancements in 2019 as part of the Royal Amplified program, including a refreshed pool deck, featuring a tropical theme with three pools and two new water slides.
California Fish and Game Commission Revokes Fishing Privileges for Commercial Marine Aquaria Collector CATALINA ISLAND— The California Department of Fish and Wildlife announced on April 14 the California Fish and Game Commission had revoked commercial marine aquaria fishing privileges for collector David W. Hornbaker due to unlawful take of marine aquaria species. In November 2013, while on patrol along the front side of Santa Catalina Island off Emerald Bay, wildlife officer Rob Rojas observed Hornbaker in 20-30 feet of water squirting a substance into a reef, resulting in stunned fish exiting the safety of the reef’s hiding places, according to the CDFW press release. Hornbaker then allegedly scooped the fish with a small aquarium net and placed them into a container strapped to his side. While surfacing, Hornbaker allegedly attempted to discard two plastic containers that contained the unknown liquid substance used to incapacitate the fish but they were retrieved by Rojas. It is unlawful to collect marine aquaria at Santa Catalina Island. Marine aquaria collecting by use of a chemical liquid substance is also unlawful, due to the damage it causes to the reef. The fish he had taken from the reef were blue-banded gobies, vibrantly colored blue and orange fish that are highly sought after by marine aquaria collectors due to their high resale value. The officers properly documented the fish for evidentiary purposes then released them, alive,

public during the April 14 Harbor Commission meeting. A representative from Orange County Coastkeeper said they were concerned about the city’s inadequate public engagement process, the city’s inadequate alternative analysis, and the city’s inadequate protection of biological resources. Another commenter, a private sector harbor stakeholder, suggested the commission consider other alternatives, including working with the private sector to dispose of the material. He indicated he would be interested in taking the material. “Hearing one of the options that I don’t know that anybody’s looked at so far, that Mr. Lucky presented, is looking at the private sector, people that are affected by this, are they willing to step up and do something to clean up the harbor and help in that process for possibly a better solution?” said Commissioner Ira Beer. In a 6-1 vote, with Commissioner Beer abstaining, the commission approved a recommendation that the City Council certify the EIR. The commissioners collectively agreed the dredging needed to occur and the project needed to continue to move forward. “I feel that process [CAD] is going to be a long-term fix at no release of these containments,” said Commissioner Don Yahn. In a separate action, the commission voted to establish an ad-hoc committee to explore the potential for involving the public in assisting the city in remediating the contamination, as presented by the public during the comment period. “There’s nothing that says we can’t go down a dual path and if Mr. Lucky and/ or someone else from the general public wants to step in and take the contaminated materials and we can make this better, then that works great, but I don’t think at this point we derail the freight train,” said Commission Chair Bill Kenney.

Old Streetcar Placed Off Redondo Beach Coast for Artificial Reef By: LINDSEY GLASGOW REDONDO BEACH— On Sept. 25, 1958, six wooden
streetcars were placed in 60 feet of water approximately one mile offshore from the Redondo Beach-Palos Verdes coastline as part of a California Department of Fish and Wildlife study. The CDFW sought to determine if things such as automobiles could be dropped in flat, sandy, or muddy areas near the shore to imitate rocky coasts and reefs in order to draw more sport fish. In the years following, divers performed routine dives to observe and obtain information on kelp growth, numbers and species of fish and invertebrates, and other observations. Within 25 months, divers found over 2,800 fishes concentrated around the old streetcars, according to an article titled “Artificial Habitat in the Marine Environment,” published in CDFW’s Fish Bulletin 124 in 1963. After 27 months, the average fish population on the reef consisted of 35 percent kelp bass and sand bass, 26.3 percent miscellaneous seaperch, 11.6 percent gobies, 9.7 percent blacksmiths, and 17.4 percent other combined species, according to the same report.

NEWPORT BEACH— The Newport Beach
Harbor Commission has approved a recommendation that the City Council certify an Environmental Impact Report for a dredging project and the construction of a confined aquatic disposal (CAD) facility in the Lower Newport Harbor. The dredging project would remove approximately 1.2 million cubic yards of sediment within the Main Channel and channel offshoots to reestablish authorized navigation depths. Most of the material has been determined to be suitable for disposal in a controlled open ocean disposal site about six miles from the Entrance Channel or along the city’s ocean beaches. However, approximately 106,900 cubic yards of bottom material is unsuitable due to elevated concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) or mercury. To manage this unsuitable material, the city has proposed to construct a CAD in the central portion of the Lower Harbor between Bay Island, Harbor Island, and Lido Isle. “You dig a deep hole, you place sediment inside, and then you place a cap of clean, dredged material on top,” said Public Works Manager Chris Miller at the Harbor Commission meeting. After all the material from the dredging project has been placed within the CAD, an interim cap layer will be placed on top and the CAD will remain open, yet unused, for approximately two years. There will then be a second opportunity during a six-month period for the city and its residents to place up to an additional 50,000 cubic yards of material into the CAD. At the end of the six-month placement period, the city will place a final cap layer at least 3 feet thick to further isolate the underlying sediments from the overlying water column. The project is estimated to cost $20 million. A draft EIR identifying the potential environmental impacts of this proposal was completed and circulated for a 47day public review period that began on Dec.4, 2020. According to a staff report, the draft EIR found the project would not result in any significant and unavoidable impacts. As required, the EIR also presented five alternatives. Some concerns were raised by the

MARINA DEL REY— Los Angeles City Councilmember Mike Bonin has introduced a motion that would ask the city to explore an option for a temporary housing site in the county-owned parking lot at Fisherman’s Village in Marina del Rey harbor. Bonin submitted the motion on March 31. It calls for the City Council to instruct the city administrative officer to evaluate and identify funding for temporary sites for single-occupancy tiny homes or safe camping at the county-owned parking lot at Fisherman’s Village in Marina del Rey as well as parking lots at Will Rogers State Beach in Pacific Palisades and Dockweiler Beach in Playa del Rey, and the RV park at Dockweiler Beach. “People are living and dying on our streets,” wrote Bonin in an April 13 tweet. “All over the city, people are demanding urgent action. That means we need a broad menu of solutions -- projects, programs, policies -- and we need to put them in place all over the city, including the Westside.” The proposal has garnered strong vocal opposition, including an online petition on change.org started by a Los Angeles area resident. The issue was ad-
dressed by several public speakers at the April 14 Small Craft Harbor Commission meeting. Some were worried about the proximity to the public boat launch ramp. “This is probably one of the largest, if not the largest public boating access launch ramp in Los Angeles County and to create any kind of impact on the tremendous use it gets would be a real shame,” said one commenter. Commenters were also concerned about boat security in the neighboring marinas, the lack of access to assistance services in the marina area and inconsistency with surrounding uses. “Fisherman’s Village has the restaurants, that’s where you pick up the dining, cruises and sailing and the boat rentals, so it’s a tourist attraction,” said Janet Zaldua, the Chief Executive Officer of the Marina del Rey Convention & Visitors Bureau, in a phone interview. She said this area is made up of pri-
marily visitor-serving businesses, some of which are concerned this type of temporary housing site would detract from visitors to the area. “We want to see a solution to this and something that’s done to help the homeless people but without hurting other businesses, the tourism and hospitality industry has suffered enormously, catastrophic losses during COVID,” said Zaldua. Small Craft Harbor Commission Vice Chair David Lumian also expressed he was concerned about the proposal. “I’m very concerned about Councilman Bonin’s, my councilman, my friend, Mike Bonin’s comments as well and think we should invite him, his staff, to come to a future meeting and let us know what exactly their proposal is and see if they have rethought that in face of some of the opposition,” said Lumian at the meeting. Councilmember Bonin’s office did not respond to an email and phone call requesting an interview. On April 13, Bonin wrote on Twitter every councilmember

HUNTINGTON BE ACH — On April 23 the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board met online to hear public comment and come to a solution about the Poseidon desalination plant. The meeting lasted 12 hours and ended with a decision to continue the meeting to April 29. Board staff recommended that the project should be held until Poseidon could meet all of the mitigation requirements and received approval on their mitigation plans from the government. The project has been in controversy in recent years, with the board meeting over ten times to discuss the ramifications of the plant. The plant would produce roughly 50 million gallons of water daily with an average of 56.69 million gallons of primarily reverse osmosis discharge concentrate and filter backwash back into the ocean, according to an April 22 article from the Log. Opponents of Poseidon argue that the plant is a detriment to lower-income families in Orange County, especially considering a tentative agreement with the Orange County Water District that would obligate the district to buy a majority of their water.

POSEIDON HEARING LASTS 12 HOURS WITH NO RESOLUTION

“What’s been alarmingly absent from the Regional Water Board’s deliberations today is the project’s impact on low-income ratepayers,” said Andrea León-Grossmann, climate action director at Azul, in an April 23 statement.
“Even as they’re working hard to stretch every dollar, Orange County families are doing their part to conserve water and protect the environment. Forcing them to pay
for water that costs almost four times as much as existing supplies—during an unprecedented economic crisis—so that Poseidon’s investors can walk away with tidy profits is cruel and unjust. If the Regional Water Board is willing to make accommodations for a multi-million-dollar global corporation, they must also consider what this project will do to low-income families in Orange County who need their water bills to stay affordable.” In the same statement, opponents of the plant showed concern over other environmental factors, and pointed out that Poseidon has yet to make mitigation changes to its plant in Carlsbad that began operation in 2015. The plant provides 7 percent of the water supply for San Diego County, according to their website. “Poseidon’s desalination plant in Carlsbad started operating in 2015, and almost six years later today, they have yet to begin one iota of mitigation work,” said Susan Jordan, director at California Coastal Protection Network, in an April 23 statement. “The Santa Ana Regional Water Board doesn’t have to make the same mistake in Orange County. If they do approve the project, they must include all legally enforceable mechanisms that guarantee that full and proper mitigation work will be done in a timely manner. Our coasts and oceans are too important to leave in the hands of a private developer who has already received permission to pollute without an obligation to clean up its mess.” Staff said that part of the reason for the amendment was the delay at the Carlsbad plant. The Coastal Commission, which is considering Poseidon’s permit, acknowledged at the meeting that part of the delay is a slow approval process, but also said that Poseidon needed to be more cooperative. Poseidon offered a series of proposals for mitigation including moving up the Bolsa Chica dredging, and setting aside a mitigation fund. Staff were set to return on April 29 with a series of alternatives. The Log will have an updated version of the article online after the April 29 hearing.

blips on the radar By Jordan Darling
Port of San Diego Wetland Mitigation Bank Moves on to the Coastal Commission WHAT HAPPENED: The Log covered a March 9 approval of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Port of San Diego, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service San Diego National Wildlife Refuge Complex, and Poseidon Resource to coordinate on the restoration of South San Diego Bay Wetlands, including Pond 20. Pond 20 is the site of a proposed wetland mitiga-
tion bank project from the Port of San Diego that was awaiting approval of an Environmental Impact Report before it could move forward with licensing and construction. The Wetland Mitigation Bank at Pond 20 is a proposed project that will remove 550,000 cubic yards of material to create a wetlands habitat. The project will bring in water through the main tidal channel and create high, mid, and low marshes. The proposal will also create transitional habitat on the top of the berms for high tides. The port purchased the land in 1998 as part of a
larger 1,400-acre parcel. The land was transferred to the state which led to the creation of the South San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge as part of the mitigation requirements for the San Diego International Airport Terminal 2 expansion. The port retained ownership of the land after the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority separated from the port. The port’s intent for the site was potential commercial development but after a series of proposals and public outreach efforts, the overwhelming majority of people wanted some type of open space. “An overwhelming majority of people said they wanted open space out there and wetland restoration and mitigation banking seemed to be a logical choice for something to do on the parcel,” said Eileen Maher director of environmental conserva-
tion for the Port of San Diego in a previous interview with the Log.
WHAT’S ON TAP: The mitigation bank project
got the two approvals it needs to move on to the California Coastal Commission for consideration. At the April 13 Board of Port Commissioners meeting, the board certified the Environmental Impact Report for the proposed project and approved a Port Master Plan Amendment that would add the parcel and the project into the port’s coastal jurisdiction. If it goes through and permits are obtained, construction could start as early as spring 2022 and be completed by 2023, according to an April 19 press release from the Port of San Diego.

respect to our reader’s taste in boats, an unfinished 39 foot sailing yacht stored for 5 years in a cradle on a vacant lot will probably look like an abandoned derelict, in which case the seller’s story probably rings true. Conversely, a boat in pristine condition would not conform to the circumstances presented by the seller. Our reader may also inspect the boat for evidence that it may have been previously registered. Federal regulations (46 C.F.R. §67.121) require the Official Number of a Coast Guard documented boat to be “permanently affixed to the vessel so that alteration, removal, or replacement would be obvious.”This usually involves engraving the number in the engine room or mounting a board on some structural part of the interior of the boat. Assuming the circumstances of the sale are credible, the buyer will need to obtain a title for the boat. This process starts with the assignment of a hull identification number. Every boat sold in the United States must be assigned a unique HIN by the builder, even if the boat is built by a private party in a vacant lot. The HIN is a 12 digit number similar to the Vehicle Identification Number stamped onto the dashboard of a car. The number includes a three digit manufacturer’s identification code (MIC), followed by a serial number, the model year, and the month and year that the boat was manufactured. Established boat builders have a unique MIC assigned by the Coast Guard, but the builder of a homemade boat must apply to the state boating agency for their home state. In California this responsibility falls on the Department of Motor Vehicles. The application process will include the preparation of a form (in California, DMV form BOAT 101), which asks for much of the information that is included on a Builder’s Certificate generated by a commercial boat builder. They are looking for a complete description of the boat, including the basic type of boat, the hull construction material, propulsion type, and the identity of the builder. After processing the application, the
DMV will issue a HIN and require it to be permanently affixed at two locations aboard the boat. The number will include a three digit MIC code that consists of the postal abbreviation for the state, followed by the letter “Z.” All home built boats that are first titled in California will therefore have a hull identification number that starts with “CAZ.” People who consider the purchase of an unregistered home built boat will always face a certain amount of risk. The investigation process and the steps for creating a title can be complicated, and buyers should consider retaining an experienced maritime attorney to guide them through the process.

Sailors are getting back to a full docket of racing with many yacht clubs including COVID protocols in Notice of Race and Sailing
Come COVID or High Water, Yacht Clubs and Racers Determined to Get Back to it Yacht clubs have been working out their own COVID-19 guidelines to meet the state’s standard and racing is getting back in full swing. By: LINDSEY GLASGOW MARINA DEL REY— Despite a
series of hoops to jump through, yacht clubs and their members have been determined to get back to racing. Many yacht clubs throughout Los Angeles County have resumed a full schedule of regattas with some modifications to their normal operations, including in many cases, no in-person skipper meetings or gatherings after events. “I think we’ve proven, at Los Angeles Yacht Club, we’ve proven there’s a pent-up demand to race,” said Tom Trujillo, who is on the board of directors at Los
Angeles Yacht Club. The Small Craf t Harbor Commission sent a letter to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in October 2020, campaigning for the board to implement a protocol for recreational boating similar to the re-opening recreational boating protocol implemented in San Diego County in September 2020. In the letter, the SCHC included a draft protocol, outlining measures that included avoiding gatherings such as skippers’ meetings and award presentations; cleaning measures; logging guests for contact tracing; and requirements that the protocols be posted at public launch ramps, marinas, sailing clubs, and yacht clubs; among others. “I know firsthand this protocol works very well because my boat is actually moored in San Diego and I sail out of that harbor frequently,” said Anne Eubanks, vice commodore of the Southern California Yachting

California is engaging stakeholders on how the state will achieve Governor Gavin Newsom’s pledge of conserving 30 percent of state land and coastal water by 2030.
California Natural Resources Agency Hosting 30x30 Virtual Workshops Nine workshops broken up by region aim to help develop multi-year strategies to achieve Governor Gavin Newsom’s goal of protecting 30 percent of state land and coastal waters by 2030. By: LINDSEY GLASGOW S A N F R A N C I S C O — The California
Natural Resources Agency, CRNA, has begun hosting a series of workshops to involve the public in strategizing for Governor Gavin Newsom’s goal to protect 30 percent of the state’s land and coastal waters by 2030. The workshops are broken up by region, a workshop for the Los Angeles region is scheduled for May 5 and a workshop for the San Diego region set for May 11, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. “Our regions are so different in both the challenges that they face and the opportunities that they offer that these re-
gional workshops are really critical to help us understand what is the situation in your part of California,” said CRNA Secretary Wade Crowfoot at the workshop held April 21 for the San Francisco Bay region. The CNRA has now begun exploring how the state will achieve the goals laid in Newsom’s 2020 executive order. Through the workshops, the state is seeking to better understand what regional leaders and residents see as opportunities and challenges for communities to achieve 30x30 and accelerate nature-based climate solutions. “We want to do so in a manner that protects biodiversity, combats climate change, increases access to nature and safe guards our economic sustainability and food supply,” said Jennifer Norris, deputy secretary for biodiversity and habitat for the CRNA, at the April 21 workshop. Each virtual workshop includes an overview of the state’s efforts to support nature-based solutions and the 30x30 initiative, as well as region-specific topics and breakout group exercises. During this public input process, the CNRA will also be exploring what equity means for
different regions and looking into ways to advance equitable strategies and opportunities. “The work you’ll be involved in and the input you provide will ensure that looking forward in coming years and decades we craft smart and achievable strategies to expand environmental conservation and utilize nature in the fight against climate change,” said Crowfoot at the April 21 meeting. Many fishing and boating communities have been vocal about having a seat at the table to talk about 30x30 and how the communities can work with the government to protect the ocean while still protecting boating and fishing opportunities. Mark Gold, executive director of the Ocean Protection Council, touched on the topic at the April 21 meeting, saying one thing they are not looking at is expanding marine protected areas. “As a recreational boating organization, our interests are not necessarily
contrary to the 30x30 idea or concept, we want to have open waterways to recreate in, to sail in and to boat in, we like nature, we thrive in nature and the idea is something we can embrace,” said Jerry Desmond, Jr., Sacramento legislative advocate and director of government relations for the Recreational Boaters Association of California. “Our caution is that there would be protections that would not recognize the opportunities and benefits of recreating in those areas.” Desmond said RBOC continues to endeavor to raise the issues and interests of the boating community to make sure they’re part of the discussion and acknowledged in whatever final outcome there is. He encouraged boaters who are interested to participate and to speak to their interests about on the water opportunities and access. After the all the workshops have been held, the state will produce a draft natural working lands and climate smart strategy, which is scheduled to be released for public review and comment in the summer. All workshops are open to the public, regardless of participants’ geographic location. For more information or to register for an upcoming workshop visit https://bit.ly/3sOCrvG.

LOS ANGELES — Scripps Institution of Oceanography and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ran an expedition in the San Pedro Basin from March 10 to 24 to map 36,000 acres of seafloor off the coast of Southern California that acted as a historical dumping ground from the 1930s through the 1970s. The expedition covered an area twotimes the size of Manhattan at a 3,000foot depth and found over 27,000 barrels on the seafloor and over 100,000 debris objects that could not be positively identified, but Eric Terrill, the chief scientist for the expedition, was confident that the objects were man-made. The San Pedro Basin near the north of Catalina between the island and the mainland was a commonly used dumping ground for chemicals, like dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane, DDT, a synthetic insecticide that was created in the 1940s. The expedition used two autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), REMUS 6000 and Bluefin, operating with sidescan sonar to search the seafloor for objects that could be as small as a coffee cup, according to an April 26 press release. The reference point for the survey came from a previous study that was done in 2011 by David Valentine, a professor of earth science and biology at the University of California Santa Barbara, that used sonar and underwater cameras to posi-
tively identify 60 barrels of DDT waste on the bottom of the seafloor. “The data from the Valentine expedition were used to ground-truth our algorithms,” said Sophia Merrifield, a researcher at Scripps who has been leading the data analytics, in the press release. “Location, size, and acoustic brightness are tracked for each target detected and used to characterize patterns and densities of the debris field.” In 2011, Valentine was in the process of researching for another expedition when he came across a report from the 1980s outlining a dumping ground off the coast. “I had come across in my library searching, a reference to a report written in the 1980s for one of the water quality boards,” said David Valentine, professor of Earth Science and Biology at University of California Santa Barbara. “It was not digitized. It was dusty on a shelf and I managed to get a copy in a library loan. In that report they basically outline a systematic campaign of dumping industrial waste into the waters north of Catalina between Catalina and the mainland that occurred in the 40s 50s and 60s, the report was based on documents...they made some estimates that there would be as many as half a million barrels of slag waste that could be dumped in that area.” In a one-day side operation, Valentine and his team sent out an AUV to check out the alleged dumping site, and were surprised by their findings. “It was a 24-hour operation,” said Valentine. “We were off doing other work at another site, picked it up and downloaded the data and it looked like a trail of breadcrumbs. The multi beam showed all these protrusions just sticking out of the sea floor all along the path of the underwater autonomous vehicle and that was our first moment of there being something that wasn’t supposed to be there.” Photos from the site came back and showed a white halo around the barrels and what Valentine described as chemical stalagmites from a waste leakage. In 2013, Valentine went back and took samples from the area and found quantities of DDT and other chemicals like petrol in the sediment around the site. “We started working up the data and analyzing the samples and we found that those samples had really high DDT levels,” said Valentine. “Seafloor samples with smoking high levels of DDT, we knew that there had been dumping there and that DDT had somehow escaped the containment of that dumping and contaminated the sea floor.” Please see DDT, PAGE 15

boats in the Marina del Rey Harbor. That was set to be released in 2020 but due to COVID-19 and associated staffing challenges, Jenny Newman, the assistant executive officer for the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, said that waiver is now expected in the next fiscal year, July 2021 to June 2022. She said the document is still undergoing internal review but it will have conditions to ensure that the copper loading from antifouling hull paint is reduced. “If there’s not a problem with the water in those marinas exceeding water quality standards, specific numbers for copper, then they won’t have to implement any action, but if they do, then the actions they implement will be similar across all marinas,” said Newman. Developing a similar waiver for all of Ventura and Los Angeles counties is also listed as a goal, with the date of June 2024. “Until those documents come out from the regional board, we really don’t understand the full burden of it, we can only kind of guess, reading between the lines of how it might go,” said Shelly Anghera, the Coastal, Water, & Environmental Technical Director for Moffatt & Nichol who was hired by MRA to formally submit the organization’s comments on the NPS Implementation Plan. In San Diego, the fight against a copper-impaired water body hasn’t come without a cost to the port district, marina operators, boaters, yacht clubs and hull cleaners who were all tasked with working together to reduce copper levels in the Shelter Island Yacht Basin by 76 percent from the estimated 2005 loading level by 2022. So far, there has been a 48 percent decrease in copper levels, according to the port’s annual compliance report for 2020, which was released in March. “While the variety of copper load re-

Terrill hopes to continue the survey to find the exact beginning of the dumping ground and the full extent of the area.
duction strategies have resulted in a copper load reduction that has met TMDL interim compliance targets, annual water quality monitoring has not shown a corresponding decrease in water column dissolved copper levels,” said Holman. In the past decade, the port has implemented various copper reduction strategies, which have included legislation related to in-water hull cleaning; site-specific and baywide monitoring; a hull paint conversion program; hull paint testing and research; and community outreach and engagement. The port also converted its fleet of vessels to non-copper hull paints, looking to lead by example, and copper concentrations at the monitoring station closest to the Harbor Police dock where the copper-free port vessels are docked, were below state water quality standards at .77 µg/L in 2020, according to the most recent compliance report. “Skepticism of new paints has been and continues to limit the use of non-copper paints,” said Holman. “To really see a behavior change in the manner in which boaters address fouling on their boat hulls, the boating industry needs to get behind good non-copper products.” Anghera and Sandoval agreed one of the biggest challenges has been getting the boating community behind a non-copper alternative paint. “It is about reducing copper concentrations and the main argument is that’s fine but it’s hard to get boaters to change their behaviors in paints when there really isn’t suitable alternatives that the boating community has embraced,” said Anghera. The Port of San Diego said their focus for the remaining two years of their TMDL is to improve the understanding of the water quality impacts associated with in-water hull cleaning and the effects that the Department of 4CPesticide Regulation’s low leach copper paints have on water quality.

the summer are off the coast of Alaska feeding on salmon, hence their name, will come down, females will give birth in Southern California,” said Lowe. He said once they give birth and salmon season starts, around May or June, they migrate back to Alaska. He said one reason sightings might be not so common in Southern California is because they like cooler water and they could be staying a couple of hundred feet down where the temperature is lower. He also said it is not uncommon to find babies washed up on the beach in the summer because of a bacterium that can infect their brain and disorientate them. “Finding them is much harder, we know they’re here because tracking data shows they come down here and then we see lots of the babies during the summer, when I say lots, I mean the ones that strand,” said Lowe. He went on to say now that most people have a cellphone with a camera, it’s getting easier to see marine animals and identify them. “Now we can see a picture,” said Lowe. “So, I would say in the last 15 to 20 years that’s greatly increased our ability to gather data, something we didn’t have 20 years ago. So, I think it’s going to get better and citizens can contribute information that helps us a lot with science.”
the meeting. Hansen has sent several letters to the Board of Supervisors requesting approval of the protocol. Hansen said in one letter that an unintended consequence of the lack of a county boating protocol is host clubs are writing their own rules and protocols, some more comprehensive than others. “The result is that, when boaters travel from harbor to harbor within Los Angeles County, there is no consistent county protocol for them to reference,” wrote Hansen in the letter. The Los Angeles County Health Department confirmed to the Log that youth and adult sailing races and regattas fall
under the department’s “Reopening Protocols for Youth and Adult Recreational Sports.” Sailing however, is not directly mentioned in the protocol. A representative from the county health department was invited to speak at the April 14 SCHC meeting but that did not happen. “I am disappointed that we did not hear anything from public health at this meeting, I was told they were invited and as everyone knows we sent a letter to them six months ago with suggested protocols that were sent to us by several organizations… and we’ve not heard a response from public health formally to that. Do they like these protocols? Do they not like
these protocols? We endorsed them and we’d like to hear back from public health,” said SCHC Vice Chair David Lumian. Trujillo said the lack of county-wide guidelines has not affected Los Angeles Yacht Club. He said they have been following the plans and tiers published by the county and have produced their own COVID protocols based on those guidelines. “All NORs, Notice of Races, sailing instructions, they all have a preamble that states what our COVID stuff is. We’ve even gotten to the point of how many people are on a committee boat,” said Trujillo. He said their COVID protocols have

Trip” aboard Ocean Adventure. On the trip, Captain Steve Burkhalter encountered what he thought at first was Great White Shark. “After further review and sending our video & pictures to the experts, the boat was thrilled to learn what we encountered was actually a Salmon Shark!” wrote Dana Wharf on its website. Chris Lowe, a Professor of Marine Biology and the Director of the Shark
Lab at California State University, Long Beach, said some distinguishing characteristics of salmon sharks include a darker-colored body, pointy nose, and football-shaped body, but the tell-tale sign of salmon shark is a white patch extending from their belly across their pectoral fin. “That’s the easiest way to tell them apart,” said Lowe. Salmon sharks can be found across the North Pacific from the Bering Sea and the Sea of Okhotsk to the Sea of Japan in the western Pacific, and from the Gulf of Alaska to southern Baja California, Mexico. They spend the summer months in Alaska but are seasonally migratory, following their prey, which include schooling fish such as salmon, herring, and sardines, according to the Shark Research Institute. “Since Salmon Sharks are typically seen in Alaska and we are so far from Alaska—we figured he must be visiting for Spring Break,” wrote Dana Wharf on its website. Lowe said while sightings of these sharks might be rare in Southern California, the sharks are fairly common in this area. He said in the spring, Southern California is a pupping ground for salmon sharks and many other species, including white sharks, mako sharks, thresher sharks, and even blue sharks. “Salmon sharks, which normally in

Starting in 2022 U.S. Coast Guard Will Change Certificate of Documentation to 5 Years The USCG has been phasing in the change since 2019, allowing recreational boaters to select renewals of one to five years, but starting January 2022, five years will be the only option. By: LINDSEY GLASGOW NATIONWIDE— Changes are on the hori-
zon for recreational boaters who document their vessels with the U.S. Coast Guard. Starting January 2022, all vessels will be given a five-year Certificate of Documentation instead of a one-year. The change is part of the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018. The act included a three-year phase-in period, which started Jan. 1, 2019, and runs through Dec. 31, 2021, during which vessel owners are able to choose renewals of one, two, three, four, or five years. Prior to the 2018 Act, CODs were effective for one year and cost $26 per year. The new five-year documentation cost is fixed at $130. Additional fees apply for initial documentation as well as exchanges. The USCG will not issue refunds if an owner chooses to cancel documentation before its five-year expiration or if a vessel is sold during the renewal period. Commercial vessel owners are not eligible for multi-year documents and must continue to follow the current process for renewing one-year CODs at a cost of $26. The change is projected to save both the USCG and boaters time and money. The USCG declined a request for an interview with the Log and said answers to our questions were in a Federal Reg-

ister notice. The Federal Register noticed said there are no maritime safety or security reasons to change the recreational vessel COD validity from one year to five but Congress determined that a change in the validity was in the best interest of recreational vessel owners. The federal register estimated approximately 165,309 recreational vessel owners will be affected annually. The notice estimated the industry for recreational vessel owners of vessels of at least 5 net tons will see a savings of $696,727 annualized over 10 years. Since the number of annual renewals the USCG processes will decline, it was estimated the USCG will save approximately $997,345 annually through reductions in the costs of administrating COD renewals. Boat Owners Association of United States (BoatUS), a nationwide recreational boating advocacy, services, and safety group, said the new rule will spare some boaters a yearly task. “The change to a five-year documentation period will be a time-saver,” said BoatUS Manager of Government Affairs David Kennedy in a released statement. All commercial vessels must be documented with USCG and recreational vessels more than five net tons, about the size of a 26-foot boat, have the option to document their vessel with the USCG or their state. According to BoatUS, recreational vessel owners generally choose to federally document vessels with the USCG versus the more common practice of state registration, for one of two reasons: the boat was purchased with a bank loan and the lender required it or the owner plans to travel beyond U.S. waters. A COD is internationally recognized and makes it easier for American vessels to enter and leave foreign ports.

By: LINDSEY GLASGOW NEWPORT BEACH — Fair winds and weather greeted
competitors in the 73rd New por t to Ensenada International Yacht Race on April 23. Racers took off from Balboa Pier and followed one of three courses, a 125 nautical mile race to Mexico, a 92 nautical mile race to San Diego or a 14 nautical mile sprint course to Dana Point. Hosted by the Newport Ocean Sailing Association, the time-honored race drew roughly 170 boats this year. The race took a hiatus last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but organizers and racers were eager to get back on the water and race this year. “Even though people had to jump through hoops, both the race committee and the racers, it’s worth it,” said Dana Point Yacht Club member Betsy Senescu, who raced to Ensenada aboard Yippee Kai Yay, about all the extra efforts to provide COVID-19 protocols to keep racers safe. This year’s big winner was Jerry Fiat’s Farrier 32 SRX, Taniwha, a folding trimaran, with an elapsed time of 11:21:00 and a corrected time of 14:23:27. Taniwha took home five trophies including best ORCA A and President of NOSA Best Corrected – Orca. “It was pretty amazing to sail with Pete Melvin, Ferdinand Van West, and Tim McKegney,” said Fiat in a released statement. “I’m so fortunate to have sailed with such an impressive team of accomplished sailors.” The team was hot on the tail of Roy Disney’s Volvo 70 Pyewacket, which made her N2E debut this year. Pyewacket and her crew smashed the elapsed time record in Newport Harbor Yacht Club’s Newport to Cabo San Lucas Race the month prior. The technologically advanced boat came within 12 minutes and 13 seconds of breaking the N2E monohull record on a course without record-breaking conditions. With an elapsed time of 09:47:21 and corrected time of 16:08:39, Pyewacket claimed three top trophies. Andy Rose and the It’s OK team returned to the podium to collect the Governor of California trophy for best-corrected Ultra-Light aboard the Andrews 50. Steve Sellinger’s Triumph, a Santa Cruz 52, was another big winner taking home the President Of USA Best Corrected and Jack Bailee Best Corrected - Newport Beach Club trophy. Andy Horning, a N2E veteran of 24 years competing in two different boats, has now been a class winner 15 times. Day Tripper II, a 1990 Hunter 40, and Horning’s regular crew made the best time in PHRF C Class by a wide margin and took home the Converse Wurdemann Trophy. Dan Rossen might as well have his name permanently etched onto the Volvo Best Corrected - Double Handed trophy, winning for yet another year with Problem Child, a B32, with partner Richard Whitely.

Challenged Sailors San Diego Sails 7th Annual Kyle C. McArthur Memorial Regatta By: JORDAN B. DARLING CORONADO — Gray skies and a
crisp breeze couldn’t damper the spirits of a group of sailors and volunteers at the seventh annual Kyle C. McArthur Memorial Regatta hosted by Challenged Sailors San Diego. Racers bundled up in jackets and sweaters grouped together under a white canopy in the courtyard of the Coronado Yacht Club on April 23 while waiting for Coronado Yacht Club coach Jon Rogers, a national and world champion sailor, to walk them through the courses for the next day’s race while passing out his best tips. The regatta spanned three days of fundraising, coaching, and racing at the Coronado Yacht Club in Glorietta Bay. The memorial kicked off with a coaching and open practice session with Rogers on the
morning of April 23, followed by the actual race on April 24. The race honors Naval Lieutenant Junior Grade Kyle C. McArthur, a Coronado native and avid racer, who passed away in a car accident in 2013. Rogers spoke about the honor of coaching McArthur, saying that even at 11-years-old, he had a good grasp of sailing. For the coaching session, Rogers propped a foldable white board up on a table in front of the racers and talked animatedly about the course and tips. Roger told racers the key to Glorietta Bay was to stay in tune with your boat and the wind, one racer quipped that the others could just follow them to figure out which way the wind was blowing and was met with raucous laughter and a couple of quips back about famous last words. C h a l lenge d S a i lor s S a n Diego racers have a unique set of challenges, many of them are in
wheelchairs or have other physical disabilities that can make life more difficult but, you wouldn’t notice once they take to the water in their Martin 16s, Harbor 20s, or Hansa 303s. After the coaching session, sailors were eager to get out on the water and test their skills with a series of practice starts and a shortened course for practice purposes. Once down on the dock racers who were racing in Martin 16s were assigned a boat, and a companion to assist them. Martin 16s have a unique set up, all of the lines lead directly to a seat nestled in the middle of the boat to allow those with the ability to move their arms to maneuver the boat how they choose. One of the Directors of Challenged Sailors San Diego Craig Dennis, explained the mechanics of the boat and showed off a device that is rigged to the boat and allows racers without mobility in their arms to maneuver the lines and the sails with just a joystick or depending on the severity of their mobility, a breathing tube that allows them to maneuver with just their breath. For two hours, roughly ten boats were cutting through See CHALLENGED, PAGE 21

Back on the dock after the practice run, racers lamented over mechanical issues that needed to be fixed before the next day’s race and joked about prospects for the next day. The overarching message from racers is that they are just like everyone else, they may have challenges but they are sailors and out on the water their challenges aren’t important. “There is so much more history in the individual sailors for whom this has provided freedom,” said Carolyn Sherman, president of Challenged Sailors San Diego. “That’s how I really describe it…
The freedom that they experience when they get out on these boats that they can sail themselves and be just like anyone else is… liberating.” Steven Muse, a paraplegic racer with Challenged San Diego, and his wife Jennifer found a new lease on life through the sailing program. Muse said that he used to be an avid rock climber, going as far as ice climbing, before a car accident put him in a wheelchair. “Rock climbing was my life, now sailing is,” said Muse. Muse sailed with Jennifer in a Martin 16 during the practice and came in sixth place in the regatta with 37 points on the board. The regatta on April 24 ended with Carwile LeRoy and Steve Edenson in first place with 10 points and Brewster Schenck and Ryan Craft in second place with 14 points for Martin 16s.

fishrap.com SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FISHING NEWS TOP CORNER Don’t Be Sheepish About Sharing Your Catch DANA POINTÐSpring is here and California waters are warming up and so is the fishing. This California sheephead was caught with Dana Wharf Sportfishing in mid-April. “Stuff in the shallows keeps shaping up,” said an April 12 Dana Wharf Sportfishing Facebook post. “63° water today on the inside along the beach.” The California sheephead is characterized by the reddish-orange midriff and black sections on the tail and head. The fish is native to kelp forests and mainly preys on hard-shelled marine animals like mollusks, lobsters, and crabs. The fish can reach up to 3 feet in length and weigh about 36 pounds.

FEATURED CATCH See You Later Alligator-Gar LONG BEACH — A couple of anglers were surprised to find an alligator gar at the end of their line in a Long Beach riverbed in early April. “It was a 30-minute fight to get this bad boy on land,” said Cody Linder, one of the anglers, in an April 16 Facebook comment. “It was spotted over a year ago and a fishing buddy of mine finally pulled it out! Forty-seven inches of alligator gar in a Long Beach riverbed runoff. One heck of a fight!” Alligator gars are marked by a torpedo-shaped body, olive/brown coloring, and armored scales. Their appearance is similar to that of an alligator giving the freshwater fish its name. The gar is a freshwater species and considered one of the largest freshwater fish, reaching up to 350 pounds and over 10 feet in length, according to an article in National Geographic. Alligator gars are native to parts of the Midwest and southeastern parts of the United States and historically not native to Southern California waters, making this a strange find.

Grunion Run on California Beaches April and May mark the closed season for grunion runs up and down the Southern California coast. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—
Closed season for the grunion run started at midnight on April 1 and will run through the end of May. California grunion is a species of saltwater fish native to Southern California and northern Baja. The grunion run is a peculiar phenomenon where the small silver fish will leave the water at night to spawn on the beaches. The female grunion w ill swim onto the beach while a wave is breaking and use her tail to burrow into the sand and create a nest where she can deposit
her eggs and the male will fertilize the eggs before returning to the ocean. The eggs remain in the sand for roughly 10 days before the high tides take the eggs back out to sea where they hatch. Grunion runs happen periodically throughout spring and summer, starting in March and ending in August. In the 1920s, a study was done that showed a distinct decline in the grunion population and in 1927 a three-month closed season was implemented. The population improved and the regulation was shortened to
The observation-only grunion season runs through April and May allowing observers to see the peculiar mating ritual of the small silverfish. two months between April and May which still stands, according to the CDFW website. The event can last up to two hours and has become a popular viewing activity in Southern California for its peculiar nature. The CDFW run schedule predicts when the runs will start at

By: LINDSEY GLASGOW LOS ANGELES— On April 14, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement Division announced Warden Jonathan Garcia had been selected as 2020 Wildlife Officer of the Year. “I was surprised, it’s a very special acknowledgment and I guess hard work does pay off sometimes,” said Garcia. The Los Angeles County-based wildlife officer has been with the department since 2018. The CDFW said he has led many notable investigations that resulted in successful prosecution of poachers over the past few years. “Warden Garcia’s immense case load involved a wide variety of violations including illegal take of deer, take of lobster out of season, feeding bears, unlawful importation of restricted species, license fraud, take of mountain lions, take of bear out of season, use of throw
nets and gill nets, and many others,” said David Bess, CDFW deputy director and chief of the law enforcement division, in a released statement. “For a wildlife officer who has only been with CDFW since 2018, that’s extraordinary performance. He’s an invaluable asset to us here at CDFW and the citizens of Los Angeles.” The CDFW said the writing and serving of a recent search warrant for a man suspected of illegally trapping wildlife helped Warden Garcia earn the nomi-
sume in June. Anyone over 16 will need a valid California sport fishing license, with the ocean enhancement stamp to catch grunion. For more information first the CDFW website at https:// wildlife.ca.gov/Fishing/Ocean/ Grunion#28352306-2021-runs.
nation. Warden Garcia found the suspect had trapped and killed two mountain lions and one bear using homemade traps baited with dead goats. The investigation revealed one of the lions and the bear were neglected once caught in the trap. The same investigation revealed a live gray fox in a different homemade trap that was subsequently released, and an additional 11 dead raptors on the property. Garcia and his squad mates arrested the suspect on Mar. 29 and the case is
pending prosecution. “I find it fascinating protecting wildlife, they don’t have a voice,” said Garcia. Garcia has also been involved in finding violators who use illegal methods of take while fishing the coast, including throw and gill nets. Garcia and another wildlife officer located a group of suspects who were poaching at night in the Malibu surf with a gillnet. The suspects possessed 30 unlawfully taken fish, including three undersized halibut. Garcia has also made multiple throw net cases on the West Fork of the San Gabriel River, one of only a few streams that still hold wild trout in Los Angeles County. “People using those type of nets is very devastating for our fisheries, other stuff I’ve encountered, people taking lobster out of season, people possessing under-sized fish,” said Garcia. Garcia also contributed to a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department murder investigation. While patrolling a remote area in the Angeles National Forest, Garcia noted the odor of what he thought was an animal carcass of a possible poaching case but instead found a decomposing human body. The body was identified as a victim of a violent murder the Sheriff’s Department was investigating. CDFW said Garcia was recently nominated to become a field training officer where he will be entrusted to train and observe recent academy graduates during their first few months in the field.

Caulerpa prolifera, an invasive species of algae is identified by its olive-green color and round-shaped leaves.
Invasive Algae Found in Newport Bay Leaf Caulerpa, an invasive species of algae native to Florida was found by a diver in Newport Bay. By: JORDAN B. DARLING NEWPORT BEACH — On April 22 the California Department of Fish and Wildlife reported that multiple federal, state, and local agencies had been notified about the finding of an invasive species of algae in Newport Bay. The patch of algae was discovered by a diver in the Entrance Channel area of Newport Harbor and was later identified by the California Department of Food and Agriculture who then alerted the other agencies. The species of algae, Caulerpa prolifera, or leaf Caulerpa, is native to Florida and other subtropical areas. Leaf Caulerpa, is a green macroalgae that is known to grow quickly and is popular for its close appearance to seagrass. The algae is commonly used as a sand bed cover in a lot of macro tanks, according to reefcleaners.org. The algae can be identified by dark green, slender, oval shaped blades. It can reach up to 6 feet in length and has been known to grow at a very quick rate, according to the Marine Plant Book. The CDF W reported that while the algae is not harmful to humans it can overrun the environment, choking out native seaweeds and could poten-
tially cause a loss of habitat for marine animals. There was a similar species of algae that was identified in California in 2000, Caulerpa taxifolia. The algae also known as Killer Alga is an extremely invasive and harmful species that is native to tropical waters. It was dangerous because it smothered the other algae species, sea grasses, and sessile invertebrate communities. Aside from outcompeting other species for food, habitat, or light, it also had a toxic effect on other marine life, according to the University of Riverside Center for Invasive Species Research. The species was eradicated in Southern California in 2006, and cost $7 million over the course of six years. The Caulerpa species of algae can reproduce by fragmentation, when small pieces break off and can root and reproduce quickly, because of this and the similarities between the two algae, scientists are concerned that leaf Caulerpa will be a detriment to the environment. The CDFW has deployed a team of divers to identify and map the location of the species and determine if it has spread. They are asking that the public avoid contact with the plant “due to its extreme ease of recolonizing from just tiny fragments.” If you see the algae, please report it to the CDFW with a location, description, and a photo if possible. For more information see the CDFW website at https://cdfgnews.wordpress. com/.
