BIZARRE

Portal to Hell Opens Up in Napa A 72-foot spinning vortex dubbed the ‘portal to hell’ reappeared in Lake Berryessa reservoir in Napa over Easter weekend. The vortex has made several reappearances, drawing in crowds and garnering several nicknames, including glory hole, hellhole, and portal to hell. The vortex is the result of a construction effort from the 1950s when engineers created a massive drain reaching 8 feet in width and 200 feet in depth, similar to one found in a bathtub, to control the outflow of water from the Monticello Dam. When excess water is collected in the lake, it escapes through the wide hole creating the spinning vortex. The vortex swallows around 48,000 cubic feet of water per second when the lake rises above 15.5 feet, according to an article from Times Now. The spectacle has drawn in crowds of people to watch the oddity from a cement ledge on the lake. The last time the vortex opened was in 2019 when the lake hit full capacity for the first time in 11 years.

The concrete spillway to drain excess water from the lake creates a spinning vortex reaching almost 72 feet. In March of that year, a duck made headlines when it was filmed falling into the spillway. Reports say the duck survived. There has been one human fatality reported at the vortex since its appearance

FAST FACTS

Point Bonita Lighthouse lights the seas on May 2, 1855 SAN FRANCISCO — On May 2,

glass prisms arranged in rings around a light source; Fresnel’s system bends 70 percent of outgoing bulb light and focuses it horizontally. To r e d u c e t h e c o s t o f construction, Point Bonita’s prisms were installed only on the ocean side. Hikers can see the gap in the lens on the cliffside when they come down the trail. The lighthouse relies on t wo factors for nav igation, visibility, and acoustics. Each lighthouse has its own pattern to distinguish between the points— Point Bonita’s light switches on for three seconds and off for one.

Water Pure Presentation (APRIL 2-APRIL 15)

“Water from the community really means water from sinks, toilets, wastewater, or any form of what is normally called sewage.”

Because of the heavy fog, which can disturb the light, there are also acoustic cues. The first was a canon, which would fire a warning shot, and it was replaced in four years by a fog bell. In 1874, a steam siren was installed. Today the lighthouse uses an electric foghorn. The lighthouse is still active today and is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The lighthouse is maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard and is open Sunday and Monday from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. For more information, see the National Park Service website at nps.gov.

1855, the third lighthouse to be built on the West Coast lit up the sea to guide ships through the waters of San Francisco Bay. San Francisco was put on the map after it was dubbed the main port for gold seekers looking for their fortune during the California Gold Rush, which began in 1848. The lighthouse was the third lighthouse on the West Coast, originally built on a ridge 300 feet above the water in 1855. Point Fort lighthouse was constructed on the southern edge of San Francisco Bay, but another lighthouse was needed north of Golden Gate Bridge; that site became Point Bonita. By 1877 the lighthouse was moved to a new site at a lower elevation to combat the thick fog. A tunnel and trail were built as well as a new threeroom brick structure to support the upper half of the original lighthouse.

LOCAL Harbor Department Reissues Request for Proposals for Whale’s Tail Parcel VENTURA— The Ventura County Harbor Department has reissued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to redevelop a Channel Islands Harbor parcel where the popular, Whale’s Tail restaurant formerly operated. An RFP was issued in Aug. 2021 and yielded two applications. Unfortunately, neither of the applications ultimately met all the RFP criteria. Harbor Department Director Michael Tripp said the department is anticipating increasing interest now that the business climate is beginning to improve. “It would be a great time for a developer to invest in the Harbor, particularly as the old Casa Sirena property is being demolished and a new waterfront hotel will be constructed in the next three years,” Director Tripp said in a press release from April 13. “The Channel Islands Harbor has a bright future, and this is a great opportunity for a new developer to join this community.” The RFP can be downloaded here: https://www.channelislandsharbor. org/reports-publications/. The RFP for the Whale’s Tail location was issued following the Harbor Department’s “Harbor Visioning Process.” In 2020 and 2021, the Harbor Department facilitated the public visioning process by utilizing a consultant with multiple community designs and public engagement experiences to explore the types of uses preferred in the Harbor. In addition, a steering committee comprised of County of Ventura and City of Oxnard representatives, Harbor business representatives, and residents met to discuss possible future development. As a result, a preliminary survey was circulated to obtain viewpoints of residents, businesses, and visitors. Subsequently, a virtual public workshop was held to present ideas on the future development of the Harbor. For this parcel, the visioning process concluded that the most desired development, in ranked order, include: • A marine education center and aquarium • Mixed-used bed & breakfast/small restaurant facility • A restaurant The RFPs for the Whale’s Tail parcel are due May 26. Once the RFPs are received, they will be reviewed by the Harbor Department and a Harbor Advisory Committee. One or more proposals may be selected for follow-up, including a formal presentation or request for follow-up information. It is also possible all proposals are jilted.

STATE/NATIONAL/ INTERNATIONAL Labor Boss Says West Coast Dockworker Employers Will Get Deal

International Longshore and Warehouse Union International President Willie Adams said dockworkers at the U.S.’s West Coast ports and their employers would likely reach an agreement to change labor hours when their current contract expires this summer. “It takes a collaboration, and we will get there,” said Adams in an April 12 interview with the Pacific Maritime Association when asked about the union’s relationship with ocean carriers and terminal operators. “It’s like a marriage, right? There are bumps, there’s ups and downs, but you’ve got to enjoy the ride.” Talks to hammer out a new labor contract for West Coast dockworkers are set to begin May 12, ahead of the July 1 expiration date for the current contract. The expiring contract covers about 22,000 West Coast dockworkers -represented by the ILWU -- and their employers, ocean carriers, and port operators, represented by the PMA. While Adams and ILWU Coast Committeeman Frank Ponce De Leon didn’t say specifically what their demands would be for the labor talks, they called on the PMA to be more involved in developing training programs through a new facility at the port. “I’m going to challenge PMA. They need to be fully invested in developing the training programs, not only for longshore but also for mechanics and our clerks and foremen,” Ponce De Leon said in an interview with Bloomberg. “We’re their workforce, and you can’t say that you’re committed and use a lot of lingo, and then you’re missing an action,” Adams said of the PMA’s involvement in labor-force training programs. Adams credited efforts by the White House to get parties to the negotiating table and resolve congestion and supply-chain issues at the ports brought on throughout the pandemic. “The president was challenging everybody to put some skin in the game,” Adams said. PMA Chief Executive Officer Jim McKenna gave 50-50 odds that the talks will conclude smoothly before July 1. Mckenna said they may be a bit too optimistic, but “we are certainly trying to accomplish that. There will not be a lack of trying.” Some past disputes between the union and the PMA have proved crippling for shipments to the western seaboard, stoking fears of a repeat just as dockyards work to clear backlogs of goods brought on by pandemic disruptions and historic consumer demand for goods.

LEGAL ADVICE

ask a maritime attorney

By David Weil

California’s Boating and Fishing News

How can I determine if this is a valid lien?

2C DARK BKGND

I am in a contract to buy a Coast Guard documented boat. The sea trial and survey have been scheduled and my broker conducted a lien search to confirm clear title. The lien search was conducted through the Coast Guard and also through a private lien search company. The Coast Guard search came back with no recorded liens, but the private search found a lien that was recorded in 2005. Is the private search more comprehensive or reliable than the Coast Guard search? How can I determine if this is a valid lien?

David Weil is the managing attorney at Weil & Associates (www.weilmaritime.com) in Seal Beach. He is certified as a Specialist in Admiralty and Maritime Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization and a “Proctor in Admiralty” Member of the Maritime Law Association of the United States, an adjunct professor of Admiralty Law, and former legal counsel to the California Yacht Brokers Association. If you have a maritime law question for Weil, he can be contacted at 562-7995508, through his website at www.weilmaritime. com, or via email at dweil@weilmaritime.com.

ANSWER: Several private companies have sprung up over the past few years that purport to act on behalf of the Coast Guard, theoretically saving you the hassle of dealing directly with the Coast Guard on vessel documentation issues. Be careful when dealing with these companies. BoatUS warns boaters: “These internet businesses, while legitimate and legal, are not endorsed by the Coast Guard and often have misleading websites that may fool visitors into thinking they are official government entities, complete with official-looking logos and photos of what seem to be Coast Guard boats.” The Coast Guard warns that it “does not endorse any of these companies, and the companies do not operate on behalf of the Coast Guard in anyway.” For the most part, these private companies focus on renewing a vessel’s documentation at a price significantly higher than the fee charged by the Coast Guard, but they are apparently expanding into the lien-search business. Before using one of these services, boaters need to know that there is only one legitimate source of information for Coast Guard documentation information, and that is the Coast Guard’s National Vessel Documentation Center (NVDC) located in Falling Waters, West Virginia, and on the web at http://www.uscg.mil/nvdc/.

Attorney From page 6

The Coast Guard warns that “the only legitimate Coast Guard website offering documentation uses a ‘.mil’ domain name. Web domains using ‘.us,’ ‘.com,’ ‘.org’ are not authorized.” To complicate the landscape further, we should note that these warnings are directed at private companies that appear to perform work on behalf of the Coast Guard. These companies should not be confused with legitimate vessel documentation services that assist boaters with filing and retrieving Coast Guard paperwork. The best of these companies are all members of the American Vessel Documentation Association (AVDA), and they can be found on the web at www. americanvessel.com. With those warnings in mind, let’s look at our reader’s case. First, as noted above, the fact that the Coast Guard has no record of the claim automatically calls it into question, but there are other reasons to challenge the credibility of the claim. This will require a quick review of the nature of maritime liens and the lien recording system, so bear with me as we get into the weeds a bit. The Coast Guard will allow practically anything to be recorded against the title of a vessel, so long as it includes a notarized signature and a declaration to the effect that the lien holder believes the lien is valid. In fact, the NVDC warns that “neither the filing of a notice of claim of lien nor the acceptance by the Coast Guard of such a notice is a guarantee that the claim is valid or enforceable.” As such, even if the claim was reported by the NVDC there is no guaranty that it is valid. Unfortunately, whether the claim was legitimate or not, it stays on the vessel’s recorded title history until the lien holder files a subsequent document to release the claim or a court issues an order to instruct the Coast Guard to release the claim. So, in view of the convoluted lien recording process, why bother to record a Notice of Claim of Lien (NCL) at all? First, in the event of a foreclosure by another creditor (a mortgage holder for example), notice of the action must be given to all other lienholders who are known to exist. Recording the NCL will therefore

keep a lienholder informed as to other lien enforcement activity involving the boat. Second, the enforcement of a lien, whether it is recorded or not, generally requires the involvement of a Federal Judge and a “civil arrest” of the boat by a U.S. Marshal. This is an extremely expensive process, and it may not be an option for a relatively small claim against the boat. The recording of a NCL, however, is an effective method for a lienholder to get the attention of a boat owner, without undergoing the expense of a foreclosure. Our reader has another reason to question the validity of the claim. The information from the private company indicates that the claim arose in 2005. As noted above, the claim (if it had been properly recorded with the Coast Guard) would stay on the recorded title history forever unless it is released. But the claim cannot be enforced unless a court finds that it is valid. Maritime liens are fundamentally based upon a breach of contract for the underlying services to the vessel. And, while the lien claim may remain on the title history forever, a breach of contract is subject to a statute of limitations that will bar a lawsuit from proceeding after a period of time. In California, a lawsuit for breach of contract must be brought within two years for a verbal agreement, and four years for a written agreement. The claim against our reader’s boat is 17 years old and as such it is clearly time-barred. With all of this in mind, our reader should not be concerned about the lien claim that was reported by the private company’s search, even if it was once a valid claim, and even if it was also reported by the NVDC.

West Harbor Project Adds Plans for Amphitheater and Tower Attraction The West Harbor Project, originally the San Pedro Public Market, is looking to add a new amphitheater for community events and a 150-foot tower attraction to the public area. By: JORDAN B. DARLING

SAN PEDRO — The Port of Los Angeles

released an Initial Study/ Notice of Preparation as the first step in the environmental review process for the West Harbor Modification Project on the LA Waterfront. The recent modification to the construction plan will need a Supplementary Environmental Impact Report (EIR) added to the original EIR because of the construction additions of the 6,200-seat outdoor amphitheater, entertainment lawn venue, and the replacement of the original Ferris Wheel with a tower attraction/observation deck. The NOP is an acknowledgment from The City of Los Angeles Harbor Department letting other agencies know about their intention to create a draft Supplementary Environmental Impact Report as part of the first steps toward moving forward with the project’s new additions. The West Harbor Project is the San Pedro Public Market’s renamed site on the San Pedro Waterfront; The original EIR for the project was certified in September 2009 and has been amended twice before to accommodate construction projects. “Everything else is really what the plan was; it’s just now we are looking at adding this tower attraction and the amphitheater,” said Valerie James, Vice President of business development for Jerico Development. The new proposed project would add

a 108,000-square-foot outdoor amphitheater and entertainment venue on 2.5 acres on the southern portion of the West Harbor site and a 150-foot tall, 50-footwide tower attraction. “This space is really going to be the project’s focal point for community events,” said James. “So that is really the big change with the amphitheater. And then the other big change…We found this concept for a tower attraction that would be replacing the Ferris wheel concept, and it can vary up to 150 feet; and basically, what it is, is a balloon-type seating arrangement that goes up to the top of this 150-foot tower and it spins around so you can get a 360-degree view of the entire area.” The IS/NOP is currently under a 30day review and is open for public comment as the project moves through the first steps in the review process. The public is asked to look at the document and the modifications and voice their thoughts on what they believe should be looked at in the SEIR. “The port is going to be doing a modification, so they have issued the NOP which is a Notice of Preparation for this new SEIR,” said James “…It gets put in front of the public, and it is saying this is what we are trying to accomplish. And then that will go through a couple of public meetings, and during that process, we will be evaluating what impacts these changes would have.” The IS/NOP is available on the Port of Los Angeles website at portoflosangeles.org/ceqa. There will also be a virtual scoping meeting held via Zoom on May 3 at 5 p.m. to receive comments and hear from the public. “The next step is the scoping meeting that is going to be May 3, and so that is where the community can come out, they can hear about the modifications, and be able to voice their thoughts on what we should be studying as a result of the modifications,” said James. Other comments on the document can be submitted by email at ceqacomments@portla.org through May 16.

La Jolla Residents React to Point La Jolla Closure The annual closure of Point La Jolla and Boomer Beach has once again been worked out and solidified. Unfortunately, the decision leaves residents on either side of the argument. By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

The increase in sea lion population means victors must retreat while mother sea lions birth and raise their young, making them more aggressive and territorial to passerby. after a council member had personally witnessed what he viewed as conflicts between the sea lions and the public, according to Moriah Gaynor, the Communication Director for District 1 of the City of San Diego. The councilmember reported aggression towards beachgoers from sea lions with young pups. “He [the councilmember] attempted incremental and educational approaches to maintain safety for visitors and wildlife alike,” said Gaynor. “When these efforts were unsuccessful, the Coastal Commission requested an emergency closure for the 2021 season. Since then, the city has worked with the Commission to impose a seasonal closure.” The California Coastal Commission is the lone body that can approve the Coastal Development Permit to reduce coastal access. As a follow-up to the emergency closure in 2021, the City of La Jolla filed an application for an annual seasonal closure based on community input from stakeholders and the general public. The Commission modified the city’s initial submittal, inserted additional conditions, and approved the permit in reviewing the application. The San Diego City Council will be voting to update the San Diego Municipal Code as part of implementing the approved permit. Those changes will clarify the city’s enforcement authority during the closure period, similar to the enforcement language governing the Children’s Pool. The Sierra Club San Diego chapter and the Sierra Club Seal Society have been speaking out in favor of the closure for months and are “pleased with the California Coastal Commission’s decision,” said Sierra Club Seal Society chairwoman Robyn Davidoff. However, the

Coastal Commission voted to close Point La Jolla and most of Boomer Beach for six months a year during sea lion pupping season. The decision to temporarily close the areas was finalized after reports found that beachgoers were trying to touch and take selfies with the animals. The closure will run from May 1 to Oct. 31 and limits access to the area between La Jolla Cove beach and Boomer Beach, where the sea lions are known to give birth and raise their pups. Groups advocating for the closure applauded the decision, while those hoping for more beach access and research call it “short-sighted.” The decision to close the area came

The Sierra Club San Diego Charter is a local environmental advocacy nonprofit whose Seal Society volunteers have independently self-appointed themselves as docents at Point La Jolla and Boomer Beach and to patrol the area. They have independently relayed their observations and their advocacy to the city and Coastal Commission, just as any organization or member of the public is allowed to do. The annual closure comes after the city closed the area for five weeks last summer, Aug. 11 to Sept. 15, on an emergency basis following months of reports of beachgoers bothering, and in some cases harming, sea lions and their pups. The commission also designated an ocean-access-only zone across Boomer Beach that

includes the “historical trail” frequently used by oceangoing individuals; this area is open for ocean access year-round. The city proposed closing Point La Jolla from May 25 to Sept. 15 each year. Then, however, the Coastal Commission imposed a series of conditions on the city’s coastal development permit, expanding the closure period to May 1 through Oct. 31. The city also proposed maintaining public access to Boomer Beach, where sea lions haul out, and the bluffs above it, but commissioners pushed to expand the closure area.

said the city accepted the conditions. The seasonal closure permit is to be in effect for seven years. The Coastal Commission approved a seasonal closure for seven years when the permit will be re-evaluated. In addition, the city is required to monitor the behavior of the sea lions and the public to determine whether the closure requirements should be reduced or expanded. The monitoring will be summarized in an annual report to the commission. “We are thrilled that the commission and the city agreed to the seasonal closure dates of May 1 to Oct. 31 and use the boundaries from last year’s emergency temporary closure,” Davidoff said. “This boundary reduced the number of sea lion harassments while providing ocean access using the historic trail.” The city will be required to have rangers onsite daily; another Sierra Club request. “The rangers … will be a huge improvement in reducing harassment,” Davidoff said. “We can’t wait for them to arrive, as visitors of up to 300 per hour continue to enter the rookery and disturb the sea lions who are eight months pregnant out of a nine-month pregnancy.” Those against the decision continue to advocate for an environmental impact report (EIR) to study the cumulative impact of the burgeoning sea lion population, as was requested by multiple local planning groups. “I hope [City Councilman Joe LaCava] and his supporters suffer the consequences of the odor [from sea lion feces] they’re forcing residents to endure because of a lack of enforcement by the city against tourists who thought it was OK to harass the sea lions and take selfies,” bodysurfer Nick Menas said. “By the way, he can inform the city that more lifeguards he claimed he wanted are no longer needed because the park rangers will be there, and there won’t be anybody on the sand or in the water to protect,” said Bodysurfer Kurt Hoffman. Hoffman said he was “disappointed but not surprised by the vote” because those arguing for the closure “did a great job communicating their concerns to the

CCC over the past year.” “We appreciate the current issues of tourists and selfies,” said Hoffman. “We will support the city’s [permit] for a seasonal closure of Point La Jolla for 2022. However, we do not support closing safe access to Boomer Beach and No Mans [a local term for an ocean access point at the end of Point La Jolla]. We feel these issues need to be revisited in 2023, and an EIR must be commissioned by the City of San Diego as soon as possible … [, and] must be a condition of any Point La Jolla [closure permit] for 2023.” In October, the La Jolla Community Planning Association voted to ask the city to preserve Boomer Beach access and asked the Coastal Commission to require an EIR for any future closure. The vote came after months of discussion and debate at the La Jolla Parks & Beaches board, where the idea of an EIR also was floated. Community Planning Association President Diane Kane, Parks & Beaches President Bob Evans, and Vice President Brenda Fake criticized last week’s decision in a collective statement. In a collective statement with the La Jolla Light, Community Planning Association President Diane Kane, Parks & Beaches President Bob Evans, and Vice President Brenda Fake criticized last week’s decision. “It’s an unfortunate decision that both the city of San Diego and the CCC worked toward and was very unbalanced and does not meet the needs of the community,” said Kane, Evans, and Fake. “The majority of the public has a positive perception of the sea lions, but the majority of the conflict has stemmed from a small number of very vocal individuals who feel passionately about the issue. We think it’s critical to understand the full breadth of sea lions and their impact on the environment and community, such as what can be achieved by a comprehensive environmental impact report. The city should have done a much better job with all stakeholder engagement to reach a collaborative win/win for everyone, including wildlife. Closing down beaches and access, coupled with K-rails and ugly signage and anything that diminishes the recreational uses of the park, is a very short-sighted solution.”

Orange County Coastal Keepers Host Workshop to Decommission Oil Rigs off the Coast The workshop was an all-day affair with talks from lawmakers, industry experts, and various stakeholders.

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management

The workshop was put together by the Orange County Coastkeeper and the California Artificial Reef Enhancement Program, to discuss and examine the way forward for decommissioning in Orange County.

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management

NEWPORT BEACH— On April 21, Orange County Coastkeeper and the California Artificial Reef Enhancement Program hosted an all-day workshop to discuss and hammer out a potential plan to remove offshore oil rigs off the coast of Orange County. Spurred forward by the 2021 Huntington Beach oil spill and the logistical issues surrounding the decommissioning of Platform Holly in Santa Barbara, OC Coastkeeper and CARE created a workshop to discuss the path forward for Orange County. “It is easy to have the oil platforms fade into the background a bit,” said Lauren Chase, staff attorney for Coastkeeper. “You are used to seeing them, and they are there, and you don’t give them much thought. And when you have something like a spill, it is a pretty tangible stark reminder of what’s going on out there, and I feel like the more questions I ask, the more questions I have about offshore oil production and the process. We have some platforms that are over 50 years old offshore in Orange County, so when the spill happened, it raised a lot of questions.” The workshop had several speakers and stakeholders who gathered to find a way forward to remove the oil rigs off the coast. Speakers covered an overview of the decommissioning process, the biological impacts, government oversight, decommissioning logistics, and stakeholder interest. “We want to leave today… with a real idea of direct steps we can take to push the ball forward on this issue, so that is kind of the idea behind this roundtable workshop discussion,” said Chase. “Where we have two state lawmakers and regulator and other stakeholders to just sit and chat together, and after everything we’ve heard in the day so far, try to identify some concrete steps and pathways forward.” In a 2019 document titled “A Citizen’s Guide to Offshore Oil and Gas Decommissioning in Federal Waters Off California,” an interagency decommissioning working group made up of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, and the California State Lands Commission laid out three scenarios for decommissioning oil rigs off the coast. The first scenario would be to remove all existing infrastructure and equipment from the area and attempt to restore the area to its natural state. Complete removal was the original contemplation when the leases were is-

the National Artificial Reef Plan. The structures would be toppled or partially removed and towed to other reef sites as artificial habitats for ocean creatures. The structures have shown to be productive habitats, with documented cases of organisms already using the structures to make their home. However, there is concern over the long-term effects of leaving the structures in place. California has worries over the navigational issues the rigs could present in shallower waters, which leaves state rigs ineligible for this plan. Finally, there is a reuse/recycle alternative use for the rigs. The guidelines suggest that operators could apply to reuse or relocate the facility for gas and oil development in another region. There is an application process and the cost of moving the facility to be considered, but it would allow the operators to reuse the facility.

designate critical habitats for listed species in areas within the jurisdiction of the United States. Critical habitat identifies geographic areas containing features essential to the conservation of such listed species. For these species, critical habitat includes marine waters of the Northern Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort seas. Necessary habitat boundaries differ between the two species, reflecting differences in where the essential habitat features for each species are found. The final rule to designate critical habitat for the Arctic ringed seals excludes an area of the Beaufort Sea used by the Navy for training and testing activities, based on national security impacts. Under the Act, the only regulatory effect of critical habitat designation is the requirement under Section 7 the federal agencies must ensure that their actions are not likely to destroy or adversely modify critical habitat. NOAA Fisheries said this applies to any activity involving federal funding permitting or

The federal government is also looking for a way to decommission the oil and gas facilities on the Pacific outer continental shelf. It is set to release an environmental document for the decommissioning of Southern California’s offshore oil and gas facilities in federal waters. A cost report was released in September of 2020, which estimated the total cost of decommissioning in Southern California. “We have 23 platforms offshore California in federal waters, and four of those are off of Orange County, and the total cost of decommissioning in 2020 by this report is $1.63 billion for the federal facilities,” said Chase. Between cost and a list of options and obstacles, the panel has a job of detangling the path forward. “So, kind of revisiting the topics of the sticking points and our decommissioning framework and seeing what we can approve upon from a variety of different perspectives to make it a better process that results in a safer and cleaner ocean environment,” said Chase.

authorization that may affect listed species or designated critical habitat. The designated critical habitat does overlap with some areas where offshore oil and gas activities occur. ESA section 7 consultations have already appeared for numerous oil and gas projects within the scope of the critical habitat designations, specifically regarding effects on bearded and ringed seals and endangered bowhead whales. This critical habitat also overlaps the waters of two federal fisheries management areas: the Arctic management area and the northern portion of the Bering Sea and the Aleutian Islands management area. Commercial fishing is not currently permitted within the Arctic management area due to insufficient data to support the sustainable management of the commercial fishery there. Portions of the critical habitat also overlap with certain state commercial fisheries management areas. Officials have said that designating critical habitat does not create a preserve or refuge and would not impact the subsistence harvest of ringed or bearded seals by Alaska Natives.

There is no other workshop planned at the moment, but Chase is optimistic that this will spur the conversation forward until a solution is reached. “We hope that this is the start of a series of conversations and no concrete plan at the moment, but we would love to continue this conversation until it is all settled and done,” said Chase.

The U.S. Navy Will Name Ship After Ruth Bader Ginsburg On March 31, the final day of women’s history month, the Navy announced that the USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg would be a John Lewis-class replenishment oiler ship, designated T-AO 212. The late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who passed away Sept. 2020 at the age of 87, served more than two decades on the U.S. Supreme Court, developed a special status, and drew standing ovations when she spoke in public. “It is my absolute honor to name the next [replenishment oiler] after the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” said Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro in a statement. “She is a historic figure who vigorously advocated for women’s rights and gender equality.” Ginsburg had served as the senior member of the Supreme Court’s liberal wing, delivering progressive votes on some of the most polarizing social issues of the day, including abortion rights, same-sex marriage, voting rights, immigration, health care, and affirmative

action. The John Lewis-class replenishment oiler ships are used to refuel carrier strike groups at sea. They are traditionally named after those who fought for civil and human rights. Rep. John Lewis, who died in July 2020 at the age of 80, was a towering figure in the civil rights movement, challenging segregation and leading the march for voting rights in Selma, Alabama. The second ship in the class is named for Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California, who became a leader in the fight against anti-gay initiatives. “She is instrumental to why we now have women of all backgrounds, experiences and talents serving within our ranks, side by side with their male Sailor and Marine counterparts,” said Del Toro. Del Toro also named Ginsburg’s daughter, Jane Ginsburg, to be the ship’s sponsor. The daughter of the famous jurist will participate in the milestones for the ship, such as its keel-laying ceremony, christening, and commissioning.

Dawn Expands Efforts to Save Wildlife Once Again

Jeff Boehm, the Chief Executive Director of the Marine Mammal Center and veterinarian, has worked closely with Dawn in recent years to expand on the shared goal of helping preserve and enhance marine mammals. “I began in my role here in 2008,” said Boehm. “Our neighbors at the International Bird Rescue, who had been working with Dawn since the late 80s, brought our work to their [Dawn’s] attention. In a very wonderful, collegial situation.” The Executive Director of The Marine Mammal Center, prior to Boehm’s employment, was close friends with her counterpart at the International Bird Rescue, who had already been working alongside Dawn for many years. It was then that her counterpart presented Dawn with the idea to include the Marine Mammal Center in the program as well. “It was really a winning formula to bring the three of us together,” said Boehm. “What Dawn does is, in a few ways, it supports us—through the very direct provision of their dishwashing liquid to us to use at our facilities. We have four facilities. We are in Monterey and San Luis Obispo County, in addition to our facility in Hawaii and our headquarters up here in Sausalito. And you could find that product at every site.” In addition, Dawn financially supports the Marine Mammal Center to help run its operations. “And the real sweet spot that we have arrived at now is leveraging the good work of the International Bird Rescue and the Marine Mammal Center alongside the very forward-thinking approach of Dawn with regard to being a responsible contemporary provider of materials that we need in everyday life,” said Boehm. A 2021 study by Procter & Gamble found that 72 percent of people want to do more to be sustainable at home, yet less than half make environmentally conscious choices as often as they would like. Every product has a lifecycle. It starts with ingredient sourcing, manufacturing and processing, distribution, consumer use, and disposal. Using a science-based Life Cycle Assessment, product developers can understand the environmental impact of each of these phases and determine levers to pull at each stage to reduce carbon impact. For example, upon studying the lifecycle of a hand dish soap, it is evident that more than 80 percent of its total estimated impact comes from the ‘in-use’ phase, or the energy and water used to clean dishes. This has compelled Dawn to innovate products for cleaner continually, faster dishwashing using fewer resources.

On April 12, Dawn announced a set of expansive sustainability and purpose-driven commitments to help create a cleaner world for wildlife. For many years, Dawn has had goals to help at the sink and on the shore to build upon the brand’s existing sustainability actions and long history of partnering with rescue and rehabilitation experts to save wildlife. At the sink, Dawn saves Wildlife, a non-profit created by Dawn has redesigned their products to clean dishes faster and use less water by formulating its dish liquid to break down grime and grease without water needing to be used to clean, only rinse. On shore, Dawn has expanded its efforts to work with wildlife rescue experts to protect and care for aquatic wildlife. Through the launch of new efforts, Dawn hopes to empower people to help protect wildlife at our shores and begin making small changes at the sink that can significantly impact the world. Dawn now works with P&G Good Everyday, a reward program for people who want to make an impact, as well as the Marine Mammal Center, the largest teaching marine mammal hospital that works to advance global ocean conservation through recue and rehabilitation, education, and scientific research. The International Bird Rescue began using Dawn dish soap to clean oiled wildlife in the wake of a catastrophic spill in 1971 when 800,000 gallons of crude oil spilled into the San Francisco Bay. Since then, Dawn has expanded its efforts, forming a partnership with The Marine Mammal Center and investing significant funds to support environmental advocacy and research. Dawn has helped care for more than 150,000 birds and marine mammals through these efforts. The brand will build on this legacy by working with these longstanding wildlife partners on commitments to protect aquatic wildlife and encourage positive human interactions with birds and marine mammals. Dawn will further its efforts by partnering with International Bird Rescue and The Marine Mammal Center to help raise and provide funding to accomplish: • Protecting and caring for one million birds and marine mammals through direct rescue and rehabilitation efforts and advocacy and work in habitats to keep wildlife safe and in the wild. • Inspire and empower one million people to become Wildlife Heroes – people who take small, positive actions in their daily lives to create a cleaner world for wildlife. Some of these actions will include:

Dawn and its partners have helped over 150,000 aquatic birds and animals, have donated over 50,000 bottles of Dawn Liquid to The International Bird Rescue and The Marine Mammal Center, and has donated over $4.5 million to its advocacy partners since 2006.

“Ma ny pe ople a re sur pr ised to learn that the biggest impact from a dish soap’s product lifecycle comes from how it is used at the sink,” said Terr y Hare, R&D Senior Director, Dawn, in the April 12 press release. “We design with all parts of the product lifecycle in mind but recognize the biggest oppor- The Marine Mammal Center is a global leader in marine mammal health, science, and conservation and is the largest tunity and toughest marine mammal hospital globally.

CLEAR LAKE— In a legal victory for the Center for Biological Diversity, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agreed on April 14 to consider Endangered Species Act protections for the Clear Lake hitch once again. This large minnow is found only in Northern California’s Clear Lake. In 2020 the agency denied the hitch protection despite severe declines in spawning fish and a near-complete loss of tributary spawning habitat due to drought and water withdrawal. “The Clear Lake hitch is an endemic freshwater minnow, so their native range is the Clear Lake watershed,” said Meg Townsend, the Freshwater Species Staff Attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity. “Historically, they live throughout the lake, and while it was once pretty highly abundant, its population has basically declined to less than one percent as its namesake watershed has been degraded over time. These fish should never have been denied protection in the first place.” Clear Lake hitch are found only in the lake bearing their name. The hitch was once so plentiful that it was easy to spot millions teeming up the lake’s feeder streams during their spectacular spring spawning runs. The hitch has been a staple food and cultural mainstay of the original Pomo inhabitants of the region for eons. Clear Lake hitch are also an important food source for numerous birds, fish, and other wildlife. In recent years, however, only a few thousand fish have spawned. There is a second population of hitch in Thurston Lake; however, Thurston Lake is roughly 1000 feet in elevation above Clear Lake; therefore, they are not hydrologically connected. In addition, it is unknown if this population of hitch is healthy because they were transferred there by a Thurston Lake landowner. The Thurston Lake hitch appears to be very pale in color because the lake’s water is volcanic runoff containing a particular mineral content that causes the fish to be pale. According to Townsend, the hitch has lost about 92 percent of its stream spawning habitat and over 85 percent of its wetland rearing habitat, which is where the young fish go to mature and escape predators that live in the lake. “Part of the problem is a lot of the wetlands where the young fish go to rear have been lost either due to low lake levels, the water is no longer reach a lot of the former wetlands or just have been paved over and developed,” said Townsend. “So,

most of the available streams to the hitch have no water flowing through them. The [hitch have] cultural significance to the Pomo people of the region. So, the indigenous people who live in the area refer to the hitch as chi, which is actually part of the scientific name. The native people in the area have often, throughout h i st or y, rel ied on the hitch as their m a i n fo o d sou rc e , and so it has provided a vital source of vitamins and nutrients to the native people.

As a result, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s 2014 status review determined that suitable hitch habitat has degraded significantly, with an 85 percent loss of wetland habitat important for rearing, a 92 percent loss of stream spawning habitat, and degraded water quality in Clear Lake and throughout most of its tributaries. “The Center for Biological Diversity filed a listing petition for the Clear Lake hitch in both the State of California under the Endangered Species Act and then under the Federal Endangered Found only in Northern California’s Clear Lake and its tributaries, the Clear Lake hitch Species Act,” said Townsend. “In 2012, fish is an oversized minnow weighing about a pond. the Center filed this petition.

Santa Barbara Harbor Commission Meeting Recap and Fiscal Year 2023 Proposed Budget Outcome On April 21, the City of Santa Barbara Harbor Commission held a meeting to discuss several topics, including the Fiscal Year 2023 Budget recommendations. By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

Santa Barbara Harbor Commission unanimously voted to pass the 2023 proposed budget. The proposed budget was passed by all six commissioners and the chair and includes an increase in the budget as well as a series of fee hikes to increase the revenue in the harbor. Recommended fee increases include: • A late fee visitor slip payment to increase from $5 to $10 per day. • A skiff row permit fee increases from $200 to $250 per year. • A marina gate key purchase increase from $7 to $10 and a fob increase from $12 to $15. • A cruise ship passenger fee increase from $7 to $10. • A Waterfront hourly parking rate to increase from $2 to $2.50 per hour. • A non-surrendered ticket fee in Harbor Main to increase from $20 to $45 per occurrence. • A Stearns Wharf hourly parking rate increases from $2.50 to $3 per hour. • A non-surrendered ticket fee in the wharf to increase from $20 to $30 per occurrence. • A boat trailer without time dated ticket fee to increase from $40 to $65 per occurrence. • A Catamaran Beach (Cat Beach) permit increased from $200 to $250 per year. • A West Beach Outrigger permit increase from $275 to $300 per outrigger per year; The current rate is

It’s kind of a common practice. We’d like to get away from that and charge them for the equivalent of three days which would be the $45. This was last changed in 2009.” Similar to the first non-surrendered ticket fee increase is the wharf parking fee increase that would move from $20

to $30. This is partially because the majority of the visitors are tourists, and the commission stated that it wouldn’t want to “hit them too hard.” The commission is dedicated to encouraging visitors to want to return to Santa Barbara again. The commission also noted that generally, it’s not the visitor’s personal vehicle, and they are usually rental cars, so the driver might not be as familiar with where they placed their ticket. The 2023 budget has an 8.6 percent increase from 2022; the budget for the next year sits at $17,004,031, while the budget for 2022 was $15,659,001. The proposed budget was presented by Mike Wiltshire, the Waterfront Director, and Brian Bosse, the Waterfront Business Manager. “So, how do we do all this?” said Bosse. “We have a number of revenues generating options, and they are lease revenues, both commercial and restaurant; and these revenues are kind of hard to

tango with; those come up when we are here [in a meeting] before you with leases, and then those folks are set into long term agreements and those change annually based on PCIs but also by how well these folks do, especially at restaurants with percentage rent and stuff like that. The other mechanism is user fees, and these are charged for voluntary activity and use of public land, resources, and facilities. So, that’s anything from Cat Beach to slip permit fees to West Beach and everything in between. Anywhere someone is using public land or resources for their activity.” The complete memorandum and a recording of the entire meeting can be found at www.santabarbaraca.gov. The next meeting will be on May 5. For more information, contact Angela Rodriguez at ARodriguez@SantaBarbaraCA.gov or Mike Wiltshire at MWiltshire@SantaBarbaraCA.gov.

Long Beach Denies Permit for Sprint Nationals Speedboat Races Two fatalities in three events have prompted the City of Long Beach to deny permits for speed boats even after amendments were made to the venue and the rules of the race. By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS LONG BE ACH — Long Beach officials

1. The denial of the permit for the Sprint Nationals event scheduled for August 6 & 7 is contradicted by the evidence. 2. SCSC was not allowed to present reasonable modifications to mitigate the city’s concerns. 3. The public’s safety was never jeopardized, but the SCSC has nonetheless implemented mitigation measures that warrant the issuance of the permit. “The city’s decision to decline the Southern California Speedboat Club’s application to conduct the 2022 ARP Long Beach Sprint Nationals competition at Marine Stadium was made after a thorough review of the proposed operations plan for the 2022 event that was submitted to the city with the event application,” said Jennifer De Prez, the Public Affairs Specialist for the City of Long Beach. According to De Prez, the city takes a strict approach to ensure all events conducted in Long Beach are safe for both participants and active and passive spectators. However, as a result of the city’s investigation of the boating collision that occurred during the 2021 event and the similarities between that collision and a collision that occurred during the 2018 event, both of which resulted in the tragic death of a race participant, the city has determined that the Sprint Nationals Competition under its current configuration and safety requirements is unsafe and poses a danger to both racing participants and spectators. During last year’s races, driver Jay Hart died after being ejected from his open-cockpit speedboat during a race on Aug. 8, 2021, creating further concern for the City of Long Beach to continue allowing the races. Hart was the second death in the past three Sprint Nationals; Gregory Paul Duff died two weeks after being hit by a boat while racing in the

denied a special-event permit for the 2022 Sprint Nationals races planned for Aug. 6 of this year in Marine Stadium. On April 14, Ross Wallach, the President and Race Director of the Southern California Speedboat Club (SCSC), filed an appeal with the city clerk’s office as prescribed in the City Manager’s denial letter from April 5. The basics of the appeal include three points:

The Marine stadium had the first manufactured rowing course in the United States and was the site for the rowing competition during the 1932 Summer Olympics. Decades later, it served as the venue for multiple Olympic rowing trials, including for the men in 1968 and 1976 and the women in 1984.

2018 event. A memo was sent on April 11 to City Manager Tom Modica, Special Events Manager Tasha Day, and Deputy Fire Chief Robbie Grego that said the event was too dangerous with its current set-up. Wallach recognizes the unfortunate fatalities but has disputed the City's decision based on the fact that the fatalities were caused by user error.. “The Southern California Speedboat Club has been promoting boat racing events at Marine Stadium since 1946, and in that time, there have [been] accidents and fatalities,” said Wallach. “During the past 25 years that I have personally promoted the event for SCSC. We have experienced several racing accidents and, unfortunately, two fatalities [2018 and 2021].” The Sprint Nationals have run at Marine Stadium since 1946, with several years taken off over time. Several classes of speedboats, some capable of speeds up to 150 mph, race an elliptical course around pylons in the stadium, sometimes for national titles. After Duff’s death in 2018, the city first denied the 2019 permit, then agreed to the implementation of several safety enhancements. However, it wasn’t until two weeks before the scheduled event that Wallach and the SCSC secured a $10 million liability policy, up from $1 million the year before, to meet city requirements and get the event permit. Wallach said the city had refused for months to meet with him at that time and that the same thing happened this year.

“We regret that the accidents happened, but it should be noted that at no time was any spectator or member of the public injured or in harm’s way,” said Wallach. “There have been zero lawsuits either naming SCSC or the City of Long Beach as a result of either of these fatalities or previous accidents. SCSC feels confident that if given the opportunity to sit down with the city agencies, as was customary after each year’s event and promised, which to date still has not happened, we, SCSC, would be able to address any and all concerns the city has as it relates to these past events and to mitigate future accidents like this from occurring. The reasons why they say they’re denying the permit are all erroneous. If they would just sit down with me, I could correct them.” De Prez said she is researching Wallach’s claim. In the meantime, she said it is up to him to appeal the decision and provide a new plan. “We, SCSC, have met with our safety committee and our hired external Safety Compliance Officer (Mr. Ray Renneker) as prescribed by the city and have come up with our increased safety plan, including but not limited to 1.) mandating capsules for all boats in classes over 105 mph. 2.) Outlawing running open-cockpit race boats with enclosed cockpit race boats. 3.) Limiting the number of participants in these classes (above 105 mph) to a maximum of 4 at a time on the racecourse,” said Wallach in an email from April 18. During the 2021 fatality, a wake

seemed to push one of the racing boats into Hart’s boat, which overturned, ejecting Hart. Both boats were traveling at about 110 miles per hour. The City’s letter said that if the boat had not overturned, it would have continued into the crowd of spectators. Wallach said that statement is false — the accident caused the boat to turn over and go dead in the water. Also, barriers to prevent a boat from going into the stands were added after the 2018 fatality. According to Wallach, the SCSC hired experts who did not find the size of the facility, the actual racecourse, the water conditions, or the speed of the boats involved to be the cause of the accident, and the SCSC experts found driver error to be the root of the cause of the casualties. “We’ve had two racing incidents on the water,” Wallach said. “We’ve had two fatalities in three events. But in the previous 25 years, we haven’t had one, not one.” Wallach said his association has already passed rules to slow down boats and increase driver safety. For example, any boat capable of going faster than 105 mph must now have a closed cockpit; both drivers who died were in open cockpit boats. In addition, the number of boats allowed in a heat will drop from six to four. Wallach also said he’s willing to talk about other changes in the venue’s configuration. Wallach claims he has still not heard back from the city regarding his April 14 appeal.

It’s Warming Up- Make Sure Your Boat is Up to Speed!! By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

in San Diego never really ends for enthusiastic boaters, which means more wear and tear on your vessel. The Coast Guard Auxiliary (CGAUX) has released its early 2022 dates for vessel safety inspections. So, whether you’re a year-round boater or seasonal, safety checks for your boat are a preventative measure that benefits all. The CGAUX is available year-round to provide safety guidance and vessel safety checks to owners wishing to update their Vessel Safety Check decals for 2022. Safety checks are essential for the longevity of your boat, but also make sure everything is in order, so it doesn’t malfunction and possibly hurt you or others. The CGAUX is now scheduling weekends to visit marinas around Mission Bay and is spreading the word to find those interested in scheduling a Vessel Safety Check Day for a fleet or group of slip users. The current available dates are: May 14-15, 28-29 June 11-12, 25-26

The Pike in Long Beach LONG BEACH— The entrance to The Pike amusement park in Long Beach in 1960 features classic cars and The Cyclone Racer, considered to be one of the greatest wooden roller coasters ever constructed until its closure in 1968, according to the Los Angeles Almanac. The Cyclone was a wooden dual-track roller coaster built out on pilings over the water. The coaster was built in 1930 to replace the previous coaster, the Jackrabbit, built in 1915. By 1954 the amusement park was the leading attraction in the Los Angeles area and the fifth largest amusement attraction in the United States. At the peak of its popularity, the park had a roller coaster, merrygo-round, bathhouse, two pavilions, a bandshell, several smaller attractions, and almost 218 concessions. By 1955 The Pike began to lose popularity when Disneyland opened a few miles away and then took another hit when Knotts Berry Farm opened in 1971, forcing the amusement park to close its gates in 1979. However, contrastingly, the area was reopened in 2003 after the waterfront was redeveloped into a new version of The Pike called The Pike at Rainbow Harbor, which features several restaurants, shops, a movie theater, and a Ferris Wheel. The redevelopment features a tribute to the Cyclone Racer Rollercoaster with a white and blue decorative track tracing the top of The Pike.

Most social events at KHYC are sponsored by KHYC Fleets. The club holds annual events throughout the year that include monthly Live Music Fridays, the Annual Commodore’s Ball, Opening Day, Christmas Party, and New Years’ Eve Party.

REDONDO BEACH — The Opening Day

ceremonies for the boating season at King Harbor Yacht Club were celebrated on April 10. The ceremonies are modeled after events in the northeast and other cold climes, where boaters must wait for the ice to melt before they can begin boating. Because of the endless 365-day SoCal season, local boaters joke that the only ice is in their drinks. This is the 73rd boating season for KHYC, formed by the merger of Win’Ard Yacht club, founded in 1949, and Redondo Harbor Yacht Club, founded in 1956. The clubs merged in 1960 and built the current clubhouse in 1964. This year’s Commodore is Francie Hope, who is married to the 2006 Commodore, who is the son of the 1956 Commodore; it is a family affair. Guests included commodores from many sister SoCal yacht clubs and various community leaders, including from the U.S.Coast Guard and its auxiliary. The offices of the Redondo Beach Congressman, State Senator, Assemblyman, and County Supervisor all provided proclamations in honor of the Opening Day. Redondo Beach Mayor Bill Brand personally addressed the assembly, accompanied by harbor-area Councilman Todd Loewenstein. The members and guests were fed appetizers and champagne, followed by a barbecue and dancing, and music was provided

by a live band. Two-dozen hospitality boats flew decorative signal flags while the guests aboard for snacks and libations. The entire extravaganza was chaired by the outgoing Commodore, Tom Polizzi, who was inducted into the ‘International Order of the Blue Gavel’ for his service to yachting. The U.S. Naval Sea Cadets provided the Color Guard, the Sea Scouts managed the parking, and the King Harbor Youth Foundation served as ushers. King Harbor Yacht Club hosts year-round sailboat races that are open to all boat owners and community members wishing to crew. In addition, the club has sailboats available to rent for its members. KHYC also incorporates ‘Fleets’ of boaters with similar interests, including Cruisers, Powerboaters, and Fishermen. The club provides Adult Sailing Lessons and Youth Summer Camps to the public during the summer. Please contact the Club Manager at (310) 376-2459 during regular working hours to set up a tour of the facilities and meet members.

Drop Your Anchor Low

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

When released, anchors dig into the seabed to hold your boat in position. They serve a safety role by keeping vessels out of the surf or off the rocks. They also allow boaters to secure the boat temporarily while fishing, having lunch, or spending the night. How Anchors Work: When an anchor penetrates the seabed surface, suction generates resistance created by the bottom material plus the weight of the material above the anchor. As the boat pulls on the anchor rode, the anchor digs deeper into the floor, creating additional resistance. Anchors can›t dig in rocky bottoms but rather snag on protrusions and hold precariously. Setting: Setting an anchor means ensuring the anchor has locked onto the ocean floor. If the anchor is not set, the boat can seem well anchored until the wind comes up, causing the anchor to bounce along the bottom as the boat drags toward a hazard. As the boat moves backward due to wind, current, or the engine’s power in reverse, gradually pay out the rode (an anchor-rode is the connection system between the anchor and the boat, and its sturdiness during mooring is undoubtedly essential. The critical point is the splice where the rope and chain are connected). Always keep a light tension on the line, but don’t clinch it tight yet. (If you tighten the rode too soon, the anchor will be pulled upward and out of the bottom and not completely set.) Visualize the anchor rode pulling straight back on the anchor shank as the anchor fluke(s) point(s) dig into the ocean floor. If your anchor rode is all chain or has a chain section at the anchor, the pull will be more nearly horizontal along the bottom. This is how anchors are designed to dig in and hold. When you have about three times as much anchor rode out as the water depth (a scope of 3 to 1), temporarily cleat or cinch the anchor rode at the bow and let it pull tight. Keep a hand on the rode to

feel the tension. The boat should stop, and the rode should feel very tight, indicating the anchor has been set. If the anchor has not set, you will feel the tension in the rode come and go or feel its pull changing as the anchor bounces along the bottom. If the anchor has been set, continue with the next step of paying out scope. If it has not been set, you can also continue but must be careful to ensure the anchor digs in when you have the proper scope. If the anchor has not set yet with about a three to one scope, many sailors prefer to hoist it now and try again rather than letting out more anchor rode and bringing it all back up to try again later. Scope: The scope is defined as a ratio of the length of an anchor rode from the bit to the anchor shackle, and the water depth under the boat’s bow measured from deck height. Most anchoring texts and anchor manufacturers agree that a scope of 7:1, meaning for every foot of water, you should release seven feet of the anchor. This scope achieves the anchor’s designed holding power, and more scope is better than less. In theory, the 7:1 scope is an excellent yet crowded anchorage; most cruisers scoff at the idea of paying out more than 3:1 or 4:1; there isn’t that much space for boats to swing. You can consider shortening scope in a crowded anchorage when an anchor is securely set. Once an anchor has been set, it will almost always hold the same amount of tension that was used to set it, even if the scope is reduced. This means that you can pay out the long scope, pull hard on the anchor rode using the engine, and then shorten the scope to reduce swinging room. However, if your boat swings and the anchor has to reset itself, it will have to do so at a reduced scope. This technique is known as Anchoring Russian Roulette. Resetting: It’s relatively easy to set an anchor when wind and current come consistently from one direction, but if they veer, some perform better than others under varying angles of pull. If the boat swings far enough, any anchor can become dislodged from the seabed. Four techniques can alert you when your boat swings: • If you have an anchor alarm on your Chartplotter, set it to alert you if the boat swings too far from where it was when you dropped the anchor. • If you have an electronic compass or autopilot, set the course alarm to alert you if the boat’s heading changes radically. • If you have alarms on your depth sounder, set maximum and minimum alarms to alert you if the water

depth changes significantly, indicating that you are drifting either away from or towards the shore. • Stand an anchor watch. It is an excellent practice to take bearings on prominent landmarks when you anchor to detect any subsequent change in position. Anchoring Techniques with Two Anchors Other Articles on Anchoring; Anchoring Bow and Stern: You may need to limit your boat’s inclination to swing at anchor in tight anchorages. You can locate the boat precisely in the anchorage by dropping an anchor close to the beach and a second anchor in the opposite direction. You can also use the tension on one rode to help set both anchors. Two Anchors Off the Bow: Bob Ogg, co-inventor of the Danforth anchor, recommends setting one anchor into the wind or current and a second anchor 180 degrees away. Then take both lines to the bow of the boat. This action allows the boat to swing around in a tight arc while still allowing the boat to pull against an anchor without causing it to reset when the wind or the current changes. Other Anchoring Considerations: Assessing Bottom Conditions: Anchors need to develop enough resistance in the seabed to withstand the environmental forces on the boat, such as the wind and the waves. However, an anchor’s ability to build resistance depends entirely on it engaging and penetrating the seabed. Sand: Fine-grained sand is relatively easy for anchors to penetrate and offers consistently high holding power and repeat-

able results. Conversely, most anchors will hold tremendous tension in hard sand. The lightweight Danforth-style anchors are the best anchor for sand like the West Marine Traditional and Fortress anchors. Mud: Mud has low shear strength and requires anchor designs with a broader shank-fluke angle and greater fluke area. This allows the anchor to penetrate deeply to where the mud has greater shear strength and presents more surface area in the direction of pull. Mud is frequently only a thin layer over some other material, so anchors that can penetrate through the mud to the underlying material will hold better. Fortress anchors have superior holding power in the mud because they can be converted to a broad fluke angle. Rocky bottoms: Holding power is more dependent on where you happen to drop the hook than on the type of anchor you have. Plowshaped or grapnel-type anchors with high structural strength to sustain the high point loads generally work the best. These include the Bruce, CQR, Delta, and the old-fashioned Fisherman-style anchors. Shale, clay, and grassy bottoms: Tough bottoms don’t work for all anchor designs. The weight of the anchor, more than its design, might be the most crucial factor in penetration and holding power. CQR and Delta anchors are thought to be good due to their ability to penetrate the vegetation. However, these conditions have a high probability of false setting due to the anchor catching on roots and protrusions rather than something solid or stable.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FISHING NEWS

Recreational Salmon Season Regulations Finalized

SEATTLE— On April 15, the California Depa r tment of Fish a nd W i ld life announced the dates for recreational ocean salmon fishing af ter recommendations from the Pacific Fishery Management Council. The PFMC met in Seattle, Washington, during the second week of April to finalize and adopt recommended ocean salmon season regulations. The season opened for the area south of Point Arena on April 2 and will open for the rest of the West Coast on May 1. The 2022 recreational ocean salmon season dates for the California coast are as follows: • In the Klamath Management Zone, which is the area between the Oregon/California state line and 40°10’00” N. latitude (near Cape Mendocino), the season will be open May 1-31 and Aug. 1-Sept. 5. • The Fort Bragg Management Area, extending from 40°10’00” N. latitude to Point Arena (38°57’30” N. latitude), will be open May 1-July 4 and July 22-Sept. 5. • In the San Francisco Management Area, which extends from Point Arena to Pigeon Point (37°11’00” N. latitude), the season is open April 2-May 31 and June 23-Oct. 31. • In the Monterey Management Area, which extends from Pigeon Point to the U.S./Mexico border, the season is open April 2-Oct. 2.

The salmon season opened for the area south of Point Arena on April 2 and will open for the rest of the coast on May 1. The recommendations were in concert with an effort to maximize recreational fishing opportunities while achieving stock conservation objectives. As a result, there is more time on the water allotted to southern management areas than northern management areas in the hope this will increase adult returns of California

Coastal Chinook, Sacramento River Fall Chinook, and Klamath River Fall Chinook through fall and winter. There is a 20-inch minimum size limit in all management areas north of Point Arena and a 24-inch minimum in the San Francisco and Monterey areas, dropping to 20 inches after May 15. There is a daily

bag limit of two Chinook salmon per day. The take of coho and silver salmon is prohibited in California. For more information, see the CDFW Ocean Salmon Fishery Information page at https://wildlife.ca.gov/Fishing/Ocean/ Regulations/Salmon.

FISHING NEWS UPDATES

By: KATHERINE M. CEMENTS

On April 8, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife advised dog owners in Northern California to take precautions to protect their pets from Salmon Poisoning Disease. Salmon Poisoning Disease is a potentially fatal condition only seen in dogs after eating certain varieties of raw or cold-smoked fish, such as trout and salmon, infected with a bacteria-like organism, Neorickettsia helminthoeca. The bacteria are transmitted by the parasitic flatworm (or “fluke”) Nanophyetes salmincola. Nanophyetes salmincola occurs naturally in waters of Northern California and most of the upper part of the state and is considered a native range for the fluke. Dog owners are recommended to exercise caution and keep their dogs away from salmon, steelhead, trout, and other freshwater fish carcasses. The parasite cannot survive in cooked fish, is not harmful to humans, and has not been shown to affect pets other than dogs. Salmon poisoning, also called salmon poisoning disease (SPD), is an

acute infectious disease affecting dogs and other canid species caused by rickettsial bacteria found in parasitic flukes or flatworms.

DOG ABOARD

NEWPORT BEACH— The Western Pride had an eight-legged visitor join them before being released back into the ocean. This little guy looks like a Pacific red octopus. The octopus ranges from Alaska to Baja California and makes its home in the kelp forests in sandy and rocky areas at a depth of up to 200 meters. Octopuses are considered to be very intelligent creatures. Reports have them escaping tanks, opening jars, and solving puzzles. In 2012 the Monterey Bay Aquarium had a Pacific red octopus hitch a ride in the aquarium. The little guy hid out in one of their exhibits for almost a year before being discovered walking across the tank.

san diego fish report NEAR LIMIT-TO-LIMIT BLUEFIN TUNA FISHING By Bob Vanian of 976Bite.com SAN DIEGO— The past couple of weeks

have brought a lot of windy weather to Southern California and Northern Baja offshore waters but the unsettled sea conditions have not had much of an effect on the bluefin tuna bite as the days of fishable weather have provided near limit-to-limit bluefin tuna fishing. Recent days of bluefin fishing have been very good and have seen a high percentage of the San Diego Bay and Mission Bay overnight, one-and-a-half-day and two-day sportboat fleet returning with limits of bluefin tuna.

Most of the bluefin have been in the 25 to 60-pound range with some bigger fish up to 130 pounds. Some of the best bluefin fishing continues to be found in the dark but the daylight hours have also been productive and provided good bluefin fishing.

During the hours of dark, bluefin have been located by finding sonar marks or meter marks. Once bluefin are located, anglers have been drifting and fishing with knife jigs, flat fall jigs and sinker rigged sardines. Boats with scanning sonar have a definite advantage in locating bluefin in this style of fishing. During daylight hours bluefin stops have come from stopping on sonar marks, spots of breezing fish, spots of breaking fish and the occasional bluefin trolling strike. Once located, the daylight bluefin have been biting on sinker rigged sardines, flylined sardines, knife jigs, flat fall jigs, Colt Snipers, Megabaits, trolled spreader bars and trolled daisy chain rigs.

Bluefin have been biting in an area ranging from the Upper Hidden Bank 40 miles from Point Loma on down to the waters outside of Ensenada while fishing around the Lower Hidden Bank, the Upper 500 Bank, and the 295 Bank. The most recent area for the best bluefin fishing has been for boats working outside of Ensenada in an area ranging from inside of the Upper 500 Bank on down to the 500 fathom curve above the 295 Bank. This hot bite zone is spread from 50 to 60 miles 177 to 180 degrees from Point Loma.

Closer to Point Loma, there have been occasional showings of bluefin tuna at the 9 Mile Bank but the showings of bluefin in that zone have been sporadic. There was also an unconfirmed report about a recent showing of bluefin off La Jolla.

Boats fishing around Los Coronado Islands have been enjoying good mixed bag fishing for whitefish, reds, an assortment of rockfish, and a few lingcod. There has also been an occasional yellowtail biting along with a chance at finding a few biting calico bass. The recent windy weather has caused a water temperature drop around Los

Coronado Islands with 58 to 61-degree water being reported. This decline in the water temperature has not affected the good bottom fishing but has had an adverse effect on the yellowtail and calico bass bites.

The surface fishing could be on it’s way to improving though as there was a spike in yellowtail activity yesterday when San Diego out of Seaforth Sportfishing made a catch that included two yellowtail. Those were the first yellowtail reported in nearly a week and could be a sign of good things soon to come. San Diego fished a full-day trip and had 12 anglers catch 2 yellowtail, 1 calico bass, 1 lingcod, 20 reds, 3 whitefish, 13 rockfish, and 3 sheephead.

Yellowtail around Los Coronado Islands have been found in the weather side of North Island, the hard bottom to the northeast of North Island, the Middle Grounds, and the weather side of South Island with the weather side of North Island being the best. Most of the yellowtail have been located by finding sonar marks with occasional yellowtail activity being found by locating meter marks, spots of breezing fish or spots of breaking fish.

Good choices for yo-yoed iron include Salas 6X and Salas 6X Jr. jigs in blue and white and scrambled egg colors. sardine colors.
