Ventura Port District gives Dry Storage Facility tenants 30-day notice

By Devon Warren

VENTURA — Construction and redevelopment occur with a rising level of frequency on the waterfronts of California’s coast these days, but some is done more amicably than others.

Ventura Port District has given tenants using the Dry Storage Facility, located in the Ventura Harbor Village area, notice to vacate the premises at 1450 Anchors Way Drive by April 30.

Construction on a new storage facility will begin on May 1 and could be completed as early as July 4.

Street modifications and overall improvements to dry storage facility were cited as reasons for the planned changes. Port officials stated they kept the boating community and locals in mind as they finalized plans, with hopes of also beautifying and rejuvenating the Ventura Harbor area.

An FAQ attached to an official notice posted online stated the dry storage facility would not be eliminated completely, but added the modifications done as a result of repairing streets in the area will result in a loss

of a few units.

Currently, 122 units exist, but about 15 percent of the units will be lost in the reconfiguration, according to Ventura Port District Commissioner Jim Friedman.

“I have not heard of one Boaters using the Dry Storage Facility at Ventura Harbor will need to find a new complaint,” place to store their vessels by April 30, 2018.

Attack by “cute” otter serves as a reminder to be wary of even the cuddliest wild animals

2C

when they do attack humans such as what happened to Spector.

Marine otters tend to be very allusive creatures and typically avoid human contact – this has also been observed of river otters. Otter attacks are extremely rare, happening at frequencies of about once

a year or less in most counties across North America.

Good at hiding, otters will normally detect humans first.

Encroaching on an otter’s territory if its cubs are nearby can cause them to become more confrontational. Otters have also been known to contract rabies and other diseases that could pose harm to other animals and people, although this is quite rare and unusual.

Marine Mammal Veterinarian, Cara Field, told SF Gate if one encounters a wild otter, be observant of their behavior and don’t get too close. One of the telltale signs you’ve entered an otter’s territory is if it is watching you or it alters it behaviors, such as it stops eating.

In 2016, two teenage boys

were swimming in Shasta Lake 2C in Northern California when DARK a romp of otters attackedBKGND them.

The boys made it out of the lake safely, but were covered in scratch marks and had to be taken to the hospital forBW a series of rabies shots. It was determined the boys did nothing to provoke the otters.

One of the miraculous parts of nature is the beauty in the varying ecosystems, plant life and animals, and it is normal to have a healthy curiosity about these incredible creatures or wanting to snap a picture of one. Keep in mind any wild animal can be dangerous. Be sure to respect the animal’s space to make sure you and the animal stay safe – even if it just appears to be a friendly neighborhood otter.

(644 kilometers) north of the Big Island. A few hours later, a Coast Guard plane got to the area, where rescuers saw a flare and found eight people in a life raft.

Officials said the Coast Guard air crew dropped a radio to the life raft and helped establish communication with the vessel’s sister ship, Commander, which was fishing nearby and went to rescue the survivors. It arrived nearly 12 hours after the distress call and brought the crew aboard, Coast Guard spokeswoman Tara Molle said.

She said the crew was in good condition and was expected to arrive back in Honolulu later this week.

Most longline fishing vessels

in Hawai’i use foreign crews with no U.S. work visas. The workers cannot legally enter the United States so they are required to live aboard their vessels for the duration of their contracts, often a year or two at a time.

Most workers come from impoverished Southeast Asia and Pacific island nations and are paid between $300 and $600 dollars a month.

The observer on the boat was part of a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration program that monitors the actions of commercial fishing crews at sea.

safety.

NOAA officials said they could not identify the observer who was aboard Princess Hawaii. The agency is working with the Coast Guard to determine what role the observer played in alerting authorities to the sinking, spokeswoman Jolene Lau said.

The boat was inspected by the Coast Guard in February, and no safety violations were found. It was in 10-foot (3-meter) seas with winds around 20 mph (32 kph) before it sank, authorities said.

By Devon Warren FLORIDA — In California, organizations are desperately trying to save the endangered sea otters. On the flip side in Florida, local kayakers tried their best to deter ferocious attacks by an aggressive river otter that violently mauled Sue Spector, a 77-year-old woman.

While otters have been marked as playful, sweet creatures, in some cases it tends to elude humans that they are also carnivorous, feeding mostly on fish and shellfish, and are skilled predators, according to specialists. Even though humans are not on their menu, otters are capable of delivering powerful attacks as can be witnessed by the rare instances

 NEWS BRIEFS NATION/world Crew saved after commercial fishing boat, Princess Hawaii, sank hundreds of miles from Hawai’i coast HONOLULU (AP) — A commercial fishing crew and a federal observer were rescued after their vessel sank and they spent hours in a life raft hundreds of miles off the coast of Hawaii, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

The agency said it received an emergency distress alert from Princess Hawaii about 400 miles

Otters, while loveable and fun to watch play, can also become aggressive if their territory is encroached upon.

Kealakekua Bay on “The Big Island” Matt Udall aka “Captain Red” of Dana Point is pictured holding The Log on the Kona coast of Kealakekua Bay on “The Big Island” – Hawai’i. Near where he stands are the waters where the mast of HMS Resolution, the ship belonging to British explorer Captain James Cook, was broken. Jeff Johansen, who accompanied Udall, says the winds on the Kona side reach up to 40 knots and may have factored into HMS Resoultion’s mast breaking. Cook’s third and final voyage in 1779 ended in Hawai’i after tension between natives and Europeans resulted in a violent conflict claiming Cook’s life. Still, monuments have been erected in England and Hawai’i to celebrate the captain’s world travels.

What happened to the nostalgia?

It is a shame that our younger generation will not be able to experience the nostalgia. There is something special about old things and when they’re gone, that’s it. Too bad for the future.

SoCal boating is becoming boring.

Thanks big business!

Take action – preserve historic waterfront sites Thank you, Captain Larson and The Log, for this excellent article. San Diego’s authentic waterfront and maritime history and character are indeed fading. I hope this wellargued and well-reasoned article will prompt more public com-

ment and action for BW waterfront preservation, and more sensitive development. Save Our Heritage Organization in San Diego is one place to turn for effective advocacy and public outreach.

Re: Who’s in charge of the future of boating and fishing? (March 23-April 5 issue)

The contributing factors While I wish the R3 and other groups success, it’s not as simple as promoting boating and fishing. You have to look at all the contributing factors in a perceived decline. The reduction in boat registrations in recent years started during the recession and has only recently begun to level off, aided somewhat by stable fuel prices in the last few years and some rain! During that time many boat manufacturers went out of business.

Several years of drought at the same time combined with the increase in paddlecraft sales and popularity aren’t captured in the data as easily because paddlecraft aren’t registered. Are more people choosing to fish

The Cost of Future Waterfront Development: Our Past Could plans to revitalize and modernize San Pedro help preserve history behind Fish Harbor?

By Parimal M. Rohit SAN PEDRO — The presidential election of 2016 might have been one of the most polarizing political contests of recent memory. One of the most notable elements of the election was candidate Donald J. Trump’s campaign tagline: Make America Great Again. Pundits on the left and right certainly had a field day interpreting the meaning of “Make America Great Again” – but one thing was for certain, the campaign slogan was a call to return to someone’s version of a nostalgic past.

No one is rushing to the trademark office to patent a “Make San Pedro Great Again” slogan, but can the apparent rush to make the L.A. Harbor a viable and livable neighborhood actually help rekindle a piece of Los Angeles history we’ve almost fully forgotten?

The polarizing reactions to planned changes

FAST FACTS: Dead Man’s Island

By Parimal M. Rohit

See COMMENTS page 16

by J.R. Johnson

on the L.A. Waterfront in San Pedro might not rise to the level of what the nation experienced, politically, in 2016, but the concept of being uncomfortable with the breakneck speed of substantive and tangible changes coming to one of Los Angeles’s most distant neighborhoods would certainly not be lost on some.

Of course there are many voices welcoming planned changes to the L.A. Waterfront, saying such revitalization and modernization is necessary. Both San Pedro and Wilmington are in a dilapidated state, these voices say, and changes are necessary in order to make both neighborhoods a more attractive place to visit or live.

Change, ultimately, is mercurial – sometimes it’s good, other times not so much. All we can hope for, over time, is the good changes outweigh the bad. The L.A. Waterfront featured one such bad change – the near complete erasure of Fish Harbor, a tuna cannery neighborhood primarily populated by immigrant and first generation Japanese.

Commercial fishing boats would unload their sardine and tuna catches onto wharves staffed

SAN PEDRO — Los Angeles city officials are in the process of dramatically altering the San Pedro waterfront, but what we see in L.A.’s southernmost neighborhood vastly differs from what locals saw on the horizon in the 1920s.

The San Pedro area was not home to a bustling harbor back in 1928, not the way it is today. In fact the development of L.A. Harbor came at the expense of an island just off the San Pedro coast.

Dead Man’s Island – also referred to as Deadman’s Island, Isla de los Muertos or Reservation Point – was a mainstay for anyone looking out onto the Pacific Ocean. It measured about 800 feet in length and 250-some-feet long; its peak was nearly 60 feet above sea level. A blog post on San Pedro history stated Dead Man’s Island “guarded the entrance to Los Angeles Harbor.”

Officials decided to dredge the island into oblivion, however, with Isla de los Muertos disappearing altogether.

The island was not without its fair share of stories, however. One story in the June 7, 1901 edition of the Evening News explained how his crew hanged the captain of a British whaling ship.

“It was known that they buried him on

Deadman’s Island, but the manner in which they accomplished the killing was kept a secret and, although in later years the subject was one of much inquiry, the direct cause of death was never determined,” the Evening News article stated.

A KCET story on the island stated it was unclear whether 19th century burials on Dead Man’s Island were fact or urban legend.

“Dead Man’s Island was named for the shallow graves dug into its flat top. Various legends give different accounts of who was buried first: the last male survivor of San Nicolas Island, an Indian named Black Hawk; an English sailor who died while anchored at San Pedro; a smuggler who washed ashore on the island and died there of thirst or hunger,” the KCET story explained.“No one knows for certain which (if any) is true, but it’s clear that by the 1830s the local, Spanish-speaking population knew the outcrop as Isla de Los Muertos.”

Six American soldiers who died in the 1846 Battle of Old Woman’s Gun were buried on the island; the battled was fought in the area as part of the Mexican-American War. Dead Man’s Island was also mentioned in Richard Henry Dana’s “Two Years Before the Mast.”

Latest News Updates

The Trump administration has been sued by the National Resources Defense Council for its non-enforcement of federal laws aimed to protect marine mammals such as the vaquita porpoise. NRDC and others contend the vaquita porpoise population, which is estimated to be at less than 30, has diminished in part due officials not enforcing federal environmental laws.

Trump administration sued over vaquita porpoise What Happened: The Natural Resources Defense Council, or NRDC, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration in the U.S. Court of International Trade, March 21, alleging several federal agencies, in not enforcing elements of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), failed to protect the vaquita porpoise.

Various sources estimate fewer than 30 vaquitas currently exist in the world; most vaquitas are found in the Gulf of California (about 100 miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border).

Also joining the NRDC on the lawsuit were Animal Welfare Institute and the Center for Biological Diversity.

Those named in the lawsuit as defendants are Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, National Marine Fisheries Service Assistant Administrator Chris Oliver, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

“This case is about the U.S. government’s failure to comply with the MMPA’s foreign-bycatch provisions to protect the last vaquitas,” NRDC and its co-plaintiffs stated in the lawsuit.“Plaintiffs urge this court to declare that defendants are violating federal law, to hold that defendants must insist on ‘reasonable proof’ that Mexico is meeting U.S. standards for this species, and to enter an injunction requiring Defendants to ban the import of fish or fish products from the Mexican commercial fisheries that use gillnets within the vaquita’s range.”

Roughly 95 percent of the vaquita population has disappeared since the 1990s, according to the NRDC. Vaquitas were regularly caught and entangled in drift gillnets used by commercial fishermen for shrimp and other seafood, causing them to die in large numbers.

“Vaquita, like all mammals, breathe air. When vaquita become entangled in a gillnet, they cannot surface for air and eventually drown. Scientists who study vaquita agree that entanglement in gillnets is the principal threat to the species, and that the use of gillnets in the vaquita’s range will cause their extinction,” NRDC’s attorneys stated in the lawsuit.“In Mexico’s Gulf of California, fishermen use gillnets to comb through the water for shrimp and

various finfish, including curvina, chano, totoaba, and sierra (also known as Spanish mackerel).”

What’s On Tap: The lawsuit states,“NRDC, the Center for Biological Diversity, and the Animal Welfare Institute are asking for court intervention and an immediate ban on Mexican seafood imports from the upper Gulf of California.”

The lawsuit also seeks to declare the United States – particularly Mnuchin, Ross, Oliver and Nielsen – “unlawfully withheld and unreasonably delayed the banning of fish and fish-product imports from northern Gulf of California.”

Coastal Commission to weigh in on Redondo Beach’s harbor redevelopment What Happened: The California Coastal Commission released the agenda for its April meetings in Redondo Beach and revealed it would host an informational public hearing on redevelopment of King Harbor. Updating the Redondo Beach waterfront has been making headlines recently, as a local developer’s plans to execute a redevelopment project became the subject of a rezoning push via ballot initiative and legal battle in state and federal court.

A Superior Court judge in Los Angeles reportedly ruled Coastal Commission should determine the applicability of Measure C to CenterCal’s Waterfront project. The Coastal Commission won’t make a final decision on the CenterCal project until August, multiple news reports indicated.

CenterCal Properties proposed building a multi-million dollar development at King Harbor. The project called for visitor-serving and boater amenities. Local residents challenged the proposal, however, when Redondo Beach voters approved Measure C in 2017; the approved ballot initiative challenged CenterCal’s plans, forcing the El Segundo-based developer to take the matter to court.

What’s On Tap: Commissioners will host the informational hearing on April 12.

The commission’s April meetings will be held April 11, 12 and 13 at Redondo Beach Public Library, 303 N. Pacific Coast Highway, Redondo Beach, California 90277.

Commission list the captain of both Princess Hawaii and Commander as Loc Nguyen of Honolulu.

State commercial fishing license records show the two boats employ workers from Indonesia, Vietnam, and Kiribati.

Attempts to reach the owners were unsuccessful. A call to the satellite phone aboard Commander was answered, but the connection was bad and the man who answered hung up.

Dog joins first responders and helps one of three men from capsized boat reach shore OKATIE, South Carolina (LOG NEWS SERVICE) — Woody, a seven-year-old yellow Labrador retriever, leaped into a South Carolina river March 21 and helped one of three men whose boat had capsized reach shore.

A Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office report said 24-year-old Mason Ringer and his two co-workers were refurbishing a dock and had gone out on the Okatee River in a small johnboat for a ride during their lunch break.

After the boat overturned, one man managed to swim to shore and get out of the river on his own. A second man was found stuck up to his waist in mud in a shore side grass marsh by the crew of a rescue boat, who had responded to a passerby’s call that she had heard screams for help while walking along a trail. The third man, Ringer, said that as he was swimming back across the river – trying to get back to the dock where the three men had been working – he started cramping up and gave up trying to swim. He was just keeping afloat and yelling for help when he said he heard a dog bark.

Shortly thereafter a dog, which turned out to be Woody, was at his side, Ringer grabbed Woody’s tail and the dog towed him for a moment before Ringer lost his grip. Then the dog turned around and paddled back to where Ringer could reach his collar. With the help of the dog pulling Ringer said he was able to reach shore and climb aboard a dock.

Woody’s owners, who live in Savannah, said they didn’t know the man Woody saved and just happening to be visiting in the area that day.

Ringer said he owes Woody a big steak after the “miracle.”

STATE Unknown announcement pending for local tiki bar at Huntington Harbour SUNSET BEACH — Rumors have been circulating that a favorite tiki-culture bar and restaurant in Huntington Harbour may be relocating or closing for good.

Representatives and owner, Delia Wu Snyder, have chosen not to comment on the rumors currently, stating an announcement of some sort is pending.

What led to the speculation was longtime reggae band, Fully Fullwood, announcing it would play its final show on March 31.

No other concerts are slated after April 1.

Don the Beachcomber’s official Instagram stated it will be open for Easter Sunday, but will not be serving the traditional brunch buffet.

At one time a popular design, tiki architecture could be spotted all over cities from L.A., Orange and San Diego counties. However, in recent years, the style has declined with some saying it is cultural appropriation. Many of the remaining tiki bars and restaurants that were at one time roaring during the height of the tiki culture heyday have closed their doors for good.

Don the Beachcombers is located at 16278 Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach.

Standing Watch From page 6

by Japanese crews, yet to limit the Fish Harbor narrative to a place of business would oversimplify the area’s history.

Several feature stories have been penned on the social and cultural nuances once found at Fish Harbor, which was located on the edge of Terminal Island closest to San Pedro.

Authors Naomi Hirahara and Geraldine Knatz wrote an entire book on the history of Terminal Island’s neighborhoods, including Fish Harbor. The book – “Terminal Island: Lost Communities of Los Angeles Harbor” – noted Fish Harbor was built in 1915 as a means to organize the shipping and fishing industries into separate spaces within the port district.

Another attempt to reorganize the Port of Los Angeles is underway, a little more than 100 years after Fish Harbor was built – and, thus, a question is presented. What can the city of Los Angeles – which includes the Port of Los Angeles – do to honor the harbor’s past and pay some sort of homage to Fish Harbor?

An article recently published on Curbed L.A. stated the only signs of the former fishing neighborhood are two buildings and a broken sign with faded Japanese characters.

“In one of the buildings, there is a weathered restaurant. On a recent visit it was empty, save a lone person watching Donald Trump on Fox News. In a concrete yard next door, fishermen were rolling up a huge, tangled net. Tide goes in, tide goes out,” the article stated at its

conclusion.

The neighborhood, as pointed out by the article prior to its somber finish, was once full of residents, living on the fringes of a man-made island from the early 1900s to the days leading up to the U.S.’s involvement in World War II. “The canneries soon built more than 300 houses for workers and their families behind the harbor. A thriving community of around 2,000 to 3,000 souls was born,” the Curbed L.A. article stated. “The homes at Fish Harbor, called Furusato by the Japanese, were small, simple and utilitarian.”

Fish Harbor’s predominantly Japanese American population fostered a unique culture on Terminal Island, mixing languages together, playing baseball on a weekly basis and maintaining everyday elements of Japanese folklore.

Pearl Harbor changed the course of history at Fish Harbor. Federal agents, within months of the bombing and the U.S. entry into World War II, executed an order to relocated Japanese populations on the West Coast into internment camps. Attempts to revitalize Fish Harbor years later were never realized. Two buildings, a faded sign and a memorial now memorialize the former fishing neighborhood but the area certainly has a far greater historical significance.

An overview of L.A. Harbor’s history presented by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, for example, acknowledged the fishing and cultural contributions made by Japanese fishermen who lived and worked at Fish Harbor.

“Japanese [fishermen] used bamboo pole and line gear to catch skipjack tuna along the coast of Japan, and introduced these tools to U.S. tuna fishermen. This gear revolutionized the San Pedro based albacore fishing industry and was modified to catch large yellowfin tuna off the southern coast of the U.S.- Mexican border,” the NOAA historical perspective stated.

Should the city of Los Angeles and L.A. Waterfront developers make some sort of effort to include the past within its plans of modernization? Perhaps portions of the old fishing community

could be preserved and provide visitors – all those tourists and locals the city and port district officials hope will flock to San Pedro once the revitalization is complete – a reason to patronize the area (as opposed to visiting the area to do some shopping or have a meal).

Could preserving at least a portion of Fish Harbor’s storied past as a cannery, neighborhood and World War II event also be a blueprint of how to maintain character and personality as waterfronts up and down the Southern California coast anxiously undergo revitalizations and makeovers?

TAKE ACTION Los Angeles city and port officials are still going through the motions and fleshing out plans for the revitalized L.A. Waterfront. It’s still not too late for members of the public – whether it’s local boaters, area residents or regional stakeholders – to reach out to city or port officials and provide input on what the final L.A. Waterfront should look like.

California Coastal Commission will allow company to continue removing oily materials near rupture site.

By Parimal M. Rohit

PORT HUENEME — An effort to continue removing oily materials from an offshore area affected by a 2015 oil spill near Santa Barbara was made permanent, thanks to a California Coastal Commission vote on March 9.

The Coastal Commission specifically voted to grant Plains All American Pipeline’s request to permanently authorize work at an offshore area known as Section 5.

Plains Pipeline sought to be able to remove oily materials from a bluff lip, steep slope face and cobbled beach area at Section 5, which is a coastal area adjacent to a state beach northwest of the Santa Barbara metropolis.

“Section 5 refers to the bluff and cliff face area near the release site,” according to Coastal Commission staff.

“During the release, oil flowed along a narrow bluff top swale, and then over the edge of the bluff along a near vertical bedrock cliff, and along a soil and rock chute leading down-slope to the cobble zone at the base of the bluff. The cobbled shoreline area at the toe of the bluff is within the Coastal Commission’s

permit jurisdiction.”

Approval of the Plains Pipeline request comes almost three years after an underground line ruptured near Refugio State Beach. An estimated 124,000 gallons of crude oil was released from the line and into the ocean water, as a result.

“Oil flowed through natural swales and drainage culverts, under Highway 101 and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks, and eventually across the coastal bluff to the beach and ocean below,” Coastal Commission staff stated in a report to commissioners. “The oil spread both east and west from the spill site, impacting beaches in the vicinity and perhaps as far away as Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties.”

The Coastal Commission granted an emergency coastal development permit a few weeks after the rupture, allowing Plains All American to execute a cleanup response.

Section 5 is currently the only area in need of any follow-up work, according to Coastal Commission staff.

“Commission staff has reviewed all of the response activities performed and has determined that only Section 5 work in the Commission’s original jurisdiction requires the need for a followup Coastal Development Permit,” Coastal Commission staff stated in its report to commissioners.

Continuous work at Section 5 could have potentially affected marine

resources and water quality, according to Coastal Commission staff.

“For safety reasons, the beach in this area was closed until the cleanup was complete. The emergency permit addressed construction-related concerns by requiring biological and archeological monitors to be onsite during all Section 5 work,” Coastal Commission staff stated.

Cleanup costs for the May 19, 2015 Refugio oil spill was initially estimated to be $92 million, though one news report stated the number was to reach as high as $257 million.

The ruptured line (Line 901) associated with the 2015 spill reportedly carried about 48,000 gallons daily; it was shut down immediately after the rupture and during the cleanup.

A website, line901r.com, provides updates on the line’s replacement and restoration. Plains Pipeline, in August 2017, submitted an application to Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties to replace Line 901 and restore crude oil transportation.

Commissioners approved the Plains Pipeline request as part of its March meetings at Port Hueneme.

A state senator reportedly canceled a scheduled committee hearing on a proposal to update language of a state fishery law.

SACRAMENTO — Legislators in Sacramento continue to review bills proposed during first few weeks of 2018, with many proposals to be heard in front of committee as winter prepares to transition into spring.

Consideration of a proposal seeking to clarify language within one of the state’s fishery laws is being delayed, while a state senator wants to update the definition of “machinery” in the context of vessel use. One bill in the Assembly appears to be recommending cosmetic changes to already existing law on environmental data reporting requirements.

DANA POINT — In the last few months, Dana Point has been seeing an upswing in activity from the launch of the new council body, Dana Point Harbor Advisory Board and now the passing of an amendment to extend a cost sharing agreement from July 1 to June 30, 2020.

Orange County’s Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the cost sharing agreement amendment, March 13, allowing for the county to share costs associated with promotional activities at Dana Point Harbor with Dana Point Harbor Association (DPHA).

Both the county and DPHA would continue spending up to $72,900 per year on promotional activities at Dana Point Harbor, according to a county staff report. The cost sharing agreement, which has been in place since 1976, will have spent more than $1.77 million on promotional activities as the South County waterfront by 2020.

The contract includes the subcontractors Tilly and Associates and Barrett Solutions, and might pass through other providers. Tilly and Associates is a public relations and administration service, responsible for around $58,000 annually. The bookkeeping agency, Barrett Solutions, will be accountable for approximately $6,500 annually.

The bill, introduced by Assembly member Ash Kalra, D-San Jose, would make non-substantive revisions to legislative findings and declarations associated with the state’s environmental data reporting requirements.

California’s Secretary for Environmental Protection, under current law, must “examine and adopt information technology standards by which public agencies and the regulated community may use computers and other information technology to comply with environmental data reporting requirements.”

Current law also requires the secretary “to establish a standardized electronic format and protocol for the exchange of electronic data for the purpose of meeting the environmental data reporting requirements of specified laws.”

The collective ambition is that Dana Point and the County will mutually prosper from the joint participation of funding promotional and advertising activities.

Supervisor Michelle Steel made the motion to approve the amendment and extension, adding she saw a great benefit in its passing.

Industry Leaders: Federal Spending Bill Benefits Boaters and Fisheries

By Parimal M. Rohit WASHINGTON, D.C. — The federal government dodged yet another closure when Pres. Donald J. Trump signed the Omnibus Spending Bill into law in midMarch. His signature means the federal government will be funded through at least Sept. 30, and some of the programs included in the spending bill were viewed in some corners as beneficial to recreational boating.

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, meanwhile, announced the inaugural membership of his department’s “Made In America” Outdoor Recreation Advisory Committee. The department specifically named the first 15 members to serve on the federal advisory board.

Omnibus Spending Bill The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) hailed the spending bill as a victory for anglers, boaters and other outdoor interests.

The Army Corps of Engineers, for example, will have funding for dredging as part of its mission to address harbor construction, shore protection and aquatic ecosystem restoration. More than $3.5 billion, meanwhile, will be available for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to maintain and operate pilot programs such as state-led fisheries management, its aircraft and vessels, and other cooperative agreements.

Several Corps of Engineers projects would be funded by the current spending bill, including $24.28 million for navigation maintenance, $30 million for inland waterways and $50 million for “small, remote, or subsistence navigation.”

Southern California’s harbors and port districts rely upon federal funds to complete dredging projects, particularly as it relates to navigations channels under Washington, D.C.’s jurisdiction.

Newport Beach, interestingly enough, hired a firm in February to increase the city’s visibility in Washington, D.C. and angle for better positioning when it came to priority federal dredging projects.

Another $144 million from fund transfers would be available for research on annual stock assessments of American fisheries.

Fishery management councils and regional commissions would be provided with a $35.87 million budget; the money would support operation, research and staffing of fishery management.

NMMA staff stated the U.S Coast Guard was allocated $12.1 billion under the current spending bill, about $1.7 billion more than last year.

Some of the federal funding – about $65M – would be directed to Pacific coastal salmon recovery in California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Alaska.

Also benefiting from the Omnibus Spending Bill are a fisherman’s contingency fund, fishery disaster assistance and fisheries finance program account.

Almost $1.3 billion will be available for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to use to perform scientific and economic studies, general administration duties and other related tasks. Roughly $66.5 million would be allocated to the Service’s acquisition and management of lands for conservation, investigations and protection of fish and wildlife resources.

Another $3.4 million was allocated to the Marine Mammal Commission.

Other projects receiving funding under the Omnibus Spending Bill include the California Bay-Delta Restoration and the Coast Guard’s environmental compliance and restoration activities, the National Park Service’s national recreation and preservation program, and oil and gas lease programs on the Outer Continental Shelf.

has a team in place to discuss initiatives and solutions, according to the Department of Interior.

Zinke, who heads the Interior Department, introduced the “Made in America” Outdoor Recreation Advisory Committee in November 2017; the 15-member advisory board was established as a public-private partnership effort to expand access and improve infrastructure on public lands and waterways.

Committee members were, according to the Interior Department, selected based upon their respective backgrounds and experiences in the recreation industry.

“Members will have knowledge utilizing public-private partnerships, providing recreational visitor experiences, developing and deploying infrastructure improvements, or a thorough understanding of recreational equipment,” an Interior Department statement about the committee said.

“The duties of the Committee are

strictly advisory and will consist of, but not be limited to, providing recommendations including: expand and improve visitor infrastructure developed through public-private partnerships; implement sustainable operations embracing fair, efficient and convenient fee collection and strategic use of the collected fees; improve interpretation using technology; [and,] create better tools and/or opportunities for Americans to discover their lands and waters,” the Interior Department statement continued.

Among the members serving on the committee are the founder and CEO of Bass Pro Shops, president and CEO of American Fly Fishing Trade Association, assistant secretary of parks and tourism with Kansas’ Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, government relations manager with Yamaha Motor Corporation USA, executive chair of Simms Fishing Products and vice president of government affairs and advocacy for Shimano American Corp/ Shimano Canada.

Catalina Island’s Casino Fuel Dock area still in limbo Avalon City Council opens public discussion to consider short-term options for Casino Fuel Dock space during summer months.

By Devon Warren

AVALON— The city of Avalon continues to push ahead for a resolution of what to do with the space where the restaurant once stood. Summer, a busy time for Catalina Island, is coming soon. The option of constructing a permanent restaurant by the Casino Fuel Dock is on the horizon. Avalon’s City Council members, accordingly, have turned to deliberating on non-permanent options.

The process to find a dining solution at the fuel dock area was once called “exhausting, confusing and endlessly frustrating” by the former Casino Dock Café owners.

Council members, nonetheless, opened up discussions for a shortterm solution to a long-term problem that has, according to Councilmember Joe Sampson, been plaguing Catalina Islanders for decades.

A brainstorming session at the March 20 meeting resulted in a few ideas, such as allowing caterers or food trucks to rent the space at Casino Fuel Dock or opening the area to the public with picnic tables. Council members stated the overarching goal was to have a permanent restaurant placed at the

location. Three negotiations are currently pending.

Sampson mentioned there are also tensions between Catalina Island Company, as lease agreements had not come through. There appeared to be an expectation, however: the rent would possibly increase from $70,000 to between $135,000 and $138,000, beginning July 1.

Noticeably annoyed by the situation, Sampson stated, “Catalina Island Company is holding the community hostage…. People are bummed out and it is causing a lot of anxiety. All the restaurants are shutting down. A $138,000 lease — who can afford that? This is on the backs of the people and they don’t want to deal with it anymore.”

Denise Radde stated she had been in contact with the CEO of Catalina Island Company, Randy Herrel, and she was confident the situation could be resolved. Radde was not available to comment on the matter as of press time.

Council members ultimately decided to entertain the notion of temporarily parking one or two food trucks on the pads while putting more pressure on the Catalina Island Company in the future, so a more permanent solution can be reached.

Radde, at the closing of the meeting, asked council members to create a “thorough, thought-through plan,” including liability, safety and regulations and other regulatory information concerning placing the food trucks by the next meeting.

What should happen to the Casino Fuel Dock?

Newport Beach accepts state grant to fund Central Avenue Pier projects City will pursue $68,000 grant from Department of Boating and Waterways for renovations despite Harbor Commissions recommendation.

NEWPORT BEACH — The Newport Beach City Council did not follow the recommendation of its Harbor Commission and decided to accept a state grant to help cover some of the costs associated with the Central Avenue Pier renovation.

Commissioners were split on whether to recommend acceptance of state funds, but narrowly decided against receiving the Department of Boating and Waterways (DBW) grant after a tenuous debate at their March 14 meeting.

City Council members, at their meeting several days later, did not follow the commission’s recommendation.

Harbor Resources Manager Chris Miller had applied for the DBW grant.

Newport Beach recently completed the redevelopment of Central Avenue Pier, opening it up to the public in September 2017. Some improvements and modifications, in addition to the Central Avenue Pier project, were made to the area’s surrounding streets. Both projects are now complete.

Commissioner Paul Blank, in an email to The Log, stated although city officials had appreciated the Commission’s through discussion they decided to accept the DBW grant.

On one hand, harbor commissioners were concerned with upholding the integrity of what the project entailed and how specifications would change the overall vision of the project.

The Central Avenue Pier was overfunded from the beginning, according to Blank.

“The contribution from Newport Harbor Yacht Club (NHYC) was more than enough to pay for the pier, gangway and float construction,” Blank said.

“Excess funds from the NHYC can and

Central Avenue Pier and the surrounding plaza completed construction last year. Newport Harbor Commission recommended passing on state grant provided by DBW, but City Council decided to accept funds.

were applied to the Central Avenue Street End renovations and improvement project, which included new lighting, hardscape and paving. The total funds contributed by NHYC were not enough to cover the entire cost of the pier and street end projects.”

NHYC was able to fund a hearty portion of the Central Avenue Pier, which provides boaters with public access to Lido Marina Village. The surrounding plaza and walkways are the city’s responsibility to fund.

“The city is responsible for funding whatever portions of the projects are not covered by grants or contributions from other sources,” Blank told The Log. “In making up that difference, the city applied for a grant from DBW. That grant could be applied to the pier project but not the street end project.

If the DBW grant were applied to the pier, more of the NHYC funds could be applied to the street end project. Both projects are complete. The accounting for both projects remains open while the final invoices and sources of fund are settled.”

Another condition of accepting the grant would be declaring a section of the dock exclusively for boats larger than 26 feet. Previously implemented limitations arose as a source of conflict

for the Harbor Commission because at Central Avenue Pier a rule decreeing boats shall not dock there larger than 30 feet, meaning now a space for vessels between 26 and 30 feet, only a 4-foot difference, must be offered.

“A requirement of the grant is dedicating/reserving a section of the

from paddecraft than they might have from power boats before the recession?

You also have to look at gasoline prices which affect motorized boaters heavily. And generational habits change. The boating and fishing recreation of today doesn’t look like it did in the 1950s. Before the R3 group starts “approving recommendations” they need to do some detailed analysis of our changing demographics and the economic and weather influences that we might not be able to control.

dock for boats at least 26 feet in length,” Blank stated.

Blank continued, “You may recall we put a 30-foot limit on boats at that pier.

This requirement meant a section of the dock would be reserved exclusively for boats at that pier. This requirement meant a section of the dock would be reserved exclusively for boats between 26 and 30 feet. That window seemed narrow and not in keeping with the intended usage, so on a 3-2 vote we [Harbor Commission] agreed to politely decline the grant. Commissioners Girling and Beer dissented indicating they would really rather have the money. We walked away friends.”

State-granted dollars are never easy to part with and in this instance the money trumped the vision.

Council member Brad Avery and Mayor Marshall Duffield were not available for comment as of press time.

Blank said, “I believe a section of the float (bay ward, east end) will be painted today or tomorrow [March 27 or 28] indicating the spot reserved for boats 26 feet or [larger]. A photograph of the painted float will be sent to DBW satisfying the final open condition of the grant.”

est recollection of visiting Ports O’ Call was with my late dad, mom and younger brother shortly after it opened in the early 1960s. We visited a few times in ensuing years, and I also visited with my own children and other relatives in the years since. Our last visit was a couple of years ago. Much has changed over the years, and I could see that several of the original buildings have deteriorated with exposure to the elements and needed maintenance.

I am sorry to see Ports O’ Call go, as it holds pleasant memories of better times, and I am sorry that the changes are impacting most of the businesses that have been there for years. I do hope that something can be done to enable the restaurant to continue. Anyway, thank you Ports O’ Call for many happy times, and I am looking forward to the new waterfront development.

Why join a yacht club?

Story and photo by Capt. Nicole Sours Larson SAN DIEGO — Are you considering joining a yacht club? While there are numerous benefits to belonging to a yacht club, there are serious issues to examine before taking the plunge.

When Arv and I moved to San Diego, several yacht clubs courted us to become members. We had both been commodores of our funky little Chesapeake Bay yacht club known for its informality – our “uniform” was shorts and bare feet. We weren’t sure we wanted to join a club with a formal

benefits of reciprocity, allowing use of transient dock space at many other yacht clubs.

Most clubs operate restaurants and bars providing much-needed revenue to support facility operations and maintenance. But many clubs require members to spend a mandatory monthly minimum amount on consumption. That was a major negative for us, since in “foodie” San Diego we enjoy trying both new restaurants and different cuisines.

Be sure to look at the financials as well. What are the full costs of belonging to a yacht club? The initiation fee can be substantial, but also consider monthly

The San Diego Yacht Club, near Shelter Island, is one of the many boating-themed organizations to join along the harbor’s waterfront.

structure and ultimately decided against it; periodically we revisit that decision.

Many factors, we realized, play into whether to join a specific yacht club.

The decision might be clear-cut if your family has a long affiliation with a given club. But if you’re a newcomer, whether to boating or to the region, you should evaluate individual clubs, which can vary considerably in character. Be sure to meet members to check for compatibility of interests, style, activities and attitudes, and determine whether the club’s recreational facilities meet your family’s needs.

It’s important to remember that, like boating, joining a yacht club is a significant investment of time and money as well as a distinct lifestyle choice. Clubs can offer rewarding camaraderie as well as support to improve maritime knowledge and skills learned from more experienced boaters, especially useful for newbies. But if you’re not very social and don’t enjoy the parties and other activities, expectations to volunteer or participate in an active social calendar might feel more like pain than pleasure.

Yacht clubs often organize group cruises and raft-ups – which I did when I served as fleet captain – which can be both fun and a benefit to novices needing help from seasoned cruisers to improve navigation skills and troubleshoot unexpected problems underway.

Yacht club memberships also offer the

dues and any mandatory consumption or other imposed charges. Examine the club’s financial statements thoroughly.

Is it solvent? Is its income from dues and other revenues adequate to cover expenses and any pending maintenance? Are members facing assessments to finance needed upgrades or perhaps settlements from litigation?

If you want to keep your boat at the club, check whether slips are available or whether there is a long waiting list. In our case, we learned we’d have a minimum wait of five years for our then-38-foot boat and much longer for a larger boat.

Most yacht clubs have many nonboat-owning members. Find out what the balance of boat owners versus non-boat owners is and whether there’s tension between the needs of the two groups. Do non-boat owners resist investing in dock maintenance?

Most clubs are volunteer-governed, even with a professional staff. Are you in synch with the volunteer leadership’s management style?

Arv and I are both activists and gravitate towards leadership in many organizations we join. We decided we didn’t want to get involved in running another yacht club but wanted to pursue other volunteer activities and served on other community boards.

Before joining a yacht club be sure to weigh carefully the many benefits and any potential negatives.

L.A. Waterfront developer releases renderings of San Pedro project

By Parimal M. Rohit and business opportunities to San Pedro and the L.A. Waterfront.”

“The design aims to embrace and build upon San Pedro’s colorful history and proud traditions, drawing from the existing authentic character and heritage of the San Pedro community and the L.A. Waterfront as a working waterfront,” a released statement of the renderings read.

The Ratkovich Co. and Jericho Development are on the San Pedro

Public Market project as developers.

Construction of the San Pedro Public Market is expected to begin in the summer of 2019, with a soft opening slated for late 2020 or early 2021.

A second phase of construction is planned for early 2021; the entirety of San Pedro Public Market is scheduled to be online at some point in 2022.

Demolition work will be ongoing through 2021, according to the developers and design team.

College gains development permit for coastal center UCSD plans to remodel its Center for Coastal Studies at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

By Parimal M. Rohit PORT HUENEME — Plans to remodel the Center for Coastal Studies at University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and Scripps Institution of Oceanography took a step forward as the California Coastal Commission approved a Coastal Development Project application at its March meetings in Port Hueneme.

UCSD proposed to remodel and make significant improvements to the Center for Coastal Studies, which currently exists on the Scripps Institution campus. The waterfront center, which is located near Scripps Pier, has occupied a building previously built by the U.S. Navy during the early 1960s.

Student and faculty researchers at the Center for Coastal Studies research beaches, cliffs, surf zone currents and waves, according to Coastal Commission staff. The building they are housed in, Coastal Commission staff added, has been deteriorating over the years and is no longer in compliance with current American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.

The building was originally a concrete tank used for experimental desalinization, Coastal Commission staff stated in a report to commissioners.

“In the 1960s the concrete tank was converted into a two-story research facility for the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and in 1972 a third, wooden floor was added to the building,” Coastal Commission staff added.

“The building incorporates an existing concrete seawall on the western wall of the structure.”

The project is expected to cost about $6.1 million and would be sourced by deferred maintenance, donors and Scripps Institution funds, according to UCSD’s Campus Planning department.

Nearby Scripps Pier is used to launch research boats, study ocean conditions and conduct scientific diving. The 1,000-foot pier was built in 1916 The Center for Coastal Studies is a research unit for Scripps Institution of Oceanography and uses the data it gathers from the ocean to gain a better understanding of the functionality of the world’s largest waterways.

Nonprofit organization without a formal “home” to continue storing equipment at Alamitos Bay Marina.

By Parimal M. Rohit

LONG BEACH — A nonprofit yacht club offering its members the opportunity to improve their sailing skills will be able to maintain its storage shed at Alamitos Bay Marina, thanks to a new permit granted by the city of Long Beach.

Little Ships Fleet Yacht Club will pay Long Beach $459 annually for the next five years to continue using a storage shed, which is located at 223 N. Marina Drive at Alamitos Bay Marina.

The permit, which did not include any renewal options, allows Little Ships Fleet YC to use the shed for storage of boating equipment and supplies for club events.

The nonprofit yacht club has used the shed since 2002 and uses it for storage since it does not have a full-service onshore venue.

“Little Ships has rented the storage shed located at 223 N. Marina Drive, and since [2002], has made numerous repairs to the shed to ensure its integrity,” city staff stated in a report to city council members. “Because the storage shed is located in Alamitos Bay Marina (ABM), and the equipment stored in the

shed is used to host and conduct events in ABM, losing access to the storage shed would create a significant hardship for Little Ships.

“In addition, Little Ships’ presence in ABM is a benefit to the city of Long Beach … and the marina enterprise, as the events hosted by [the nonprofit yacht club] showcase and promote the city’s marina operation,” city staff continued.

The yacht club was founded as a nonprofit organization in 1937 and is a member of the Southern California Yachting Association. Its purpose, according to city staff, is to provide “a low-cost alternative yacht club experience.”

“Little Ships’ primary focus is to ensure that members have the opportunity to improve their sailing skills and knowledge, while experiencing the fun and joy of yachting,” city staff told council members in a report. “Their initial membership application fee is $100, with an annual membership fee of $125. To provide a low-cost yacht club experience, Little Ships does not maintain a full-service onshore facility for its members, choosing instead to conduct membership meetings and social events at various yacht clubs throughout the Long Beach area.”

Members of the yacht club have participated in major sailing events, such as Newport To Ensenada and Transpac.

Long Beach and Little Ships Fleet Yacht Club reach agreement on storage location

Little Ships Fleet Yacht Club will be able to use its storage space at Alamitos Bay Marina Center, thanks to a permit approved by the Long Beach City Council. Little Ships Fleet YC is a nonprofit yacht club and does not have an official building.

Six people founded the yacht club in 1937 to give non-class boat owners an avenue to participate in a regatta. Nonclass boat owners were not included in Southern California’s yachting regattas, according to Little Ships Fleet YC. The yacht club, originally known as Little Ships Fleet of Long Beach, acquired leasehold on a clubhouse and shed next to a gas dock at Alamitos Bay Marina in 1991. An economic downturn forced the club to revert its clubhouse

back to the city, but Little Ships Fleet YC maintained use of the shed ever since.

Little Ships Fleet of Long Beach became Little Ships Fleet YC in 2006.

The permit, which was approved by the Long Beach City Council on March 13 as part of its consent calendar, took effect April 1 and would continue through March 21, 2023.

More information about the nonprofit yacht club is available on its website, lsfyc.org.

Advisory board review requested for Dana Point Harbor Patrol funding Boating advocacy group seeks examination of county line item and potential effect on revitalization plans.

By Parimal M. Rohit

DANA POINT — A boating advocacy group has asked an Orange County committee to review what it calls “the single biggest routine expense” for Dana Point Harbor, according to a letter sent to county officials in mid-March.

Dana Point Boaters Association (DPBA) forwarded a letter to members of the Dana Point Harbor Advisory Board on March 17, specifically requesting the committee consider an agenda item on funding for services provided by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.

The advisory group sent a second letter to Orange County Supervisor Lisa Bartlett, echoing the first letter’s request; the letter was sent March 27, one day after members of the Dana Point Harbor Advisory Board met.

“This is not a judgment on Sheriff’s Department personnel or the performance of their mission,” DPBA President James Lenthall said in an email to The Log about both letters.

“Rather, this is an examination of the ongoing impact on our harbor economy from this enormous and escalat-

ing expense.”

The review would specifically look into the funding and its potential effect on Tidelands Fund 108.

DPBA Secretary Alan Johnson, in his March 17 letter to the advisory board’s leadership, stated harbor patrol operations is expected to ding Fund 108 for $4.5 million in 2018, making it “by far the single biggest routine expense” of the tidelands account.

Johnson added the line item expense would increase “dramatically” during the next few years. A blog post on the Dana Point Harbor Advisory Board’s website stated the budget line item expense is “projected to increase to nearly $8 million in the coming years.”

“This equates to approximately 30 percent of the O.C. Sheriff’s Department’s costs for Orange County coastal patrol operations,” the blog post continued. “Is Dana Point Harbor paying our proportional share for the services provided to our harbor?”

A planned multimillion-dollar renovation of Dana Point Harbor adds to the advocacy group’s concerns about operational expenses.

“The Dana Point Harbor budget exists independently without subsidy from the Orange County general fund or any other external funding source. At a time when we are about to exert enormous stress on our harbor economy with the $300 million harbor

renovation project, we are seeking relief wherever possible to protect the viability of our harbor economy and ensure continued affordable public coastal access,” Lenthall told The Log. DPBA’s March 17 letter was shared in its recent newsletter blast and made clear the request for review was not intended to raise alarms but instead spark a discussion on possible solutions.

“To be clear, we are not raising alarm over the quality of the O.C. Sheriff’s Department harbor patrol personnel or the overall objective of their coastal law enforcement mission. We support both,” the newsletter stated.

“Instead, the exorbitant and escalating financial burden to Dana Point Harbor is disproportionate and unsustainable, and we believe there may be more appropriate means of funding, and perhaps alternative models to achieve harbor security.”

Inquiring about the Sheriff’s Department operations at Dana Point Harbor could provide insight on how potentially increasing expenses would affect local boaters, according to DPBA. “We desire to more fully understand how the projected escalating expenses from Fund 108 for OCSD harbor patrol services will affect the Harbor Revitalization Plan, the future impact on slip rates and tenant lease fees, and the affordability of continued public coastal access,” the March 27 letter

from DPBA to Bartlett stated.

DPBA representatives also made it clear they are seeking a review of harbor patrol funding to ensure the planned revitalization of Dana Point Harbor won’t put an undue burden on Tidelands Fund 108.

“As the County of Orange prepares to enter into a contract with a private partner to assume the Harbor Revitalization Plan and operate our harbor for the next 66 years, we are concerned that harbor patrol funding will put the continued financial viability of Fund 108 at risk,” Johnson stated in the DPBA letter. “As the developer seeks to recover their planned investment of as much as $300 million to rebuild our harbor, and reasonably expects to turn a profit doing so, we believe the exorbitant and escalating costs of harbor patrol will necessitate seeking significant increases to boater and commercial tenant fees, or will undermine Fund 108’s ability to accumulate reserves for future capital and operational needs.”

The item – which DPBA labeled as “Dana Point Harbor Patrol funding and operations and their projected impact on the future financial viability of Tidelands Fund 108, in particular in the context of the Dana Point Harbor Revitalization Plan” – was discussed at the March 26 advisory board meeting.

Dana Point Harbor Advisory Board will meet again on April 23 at 5 p.m.

Wilmington Waterfront Promenade, a $52 million project, to begin construction in 2019

By Devon Warren

WILMINGTON — San Pedro Public Market may be on the tongues of everyone in the city, but Wilmington is also tied into the latest total overhaul of waterfront developments planned for the southernmost borders of Los Angeles.

The Port of L.A. recently released new renderings of Wilmington Waterfront Promenade, a project which is expected to begin construction in 2019 and will total $52.7 million.

Wilmington Waterfront Promenade, which will include a public walkway, pedestrian plaza, parking lot, realignment of Water Street and parking northwest of Banning’s Landing Community Center, appears it may also introduce a marina.

Landscaping, irrigation, signage, lighting and furnishings such as seating, bike

racks and public drinking fountains will be updated and added, all as part of an effort to rejuvenate an 8-acre patch of land on the waterfront.

The Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners approved a contract with Sasaki associates, Inc. in 2015 to plot designs for the new Wilmington Waterfront

Promenade. Now, the final design phase is being completed to begin construction.

Wilmington Waterfront Promenade is estimated to be open to the public in 2021.

Marine sanctuary officials working on invasive species plan Oregon State University, Hatfield Marine Science Center photo

Arrival of spring means devil weed and Wakame invasions is more likely to spread into ecosystem.

By Parimal M. Rohit

CENTRAL CALIFORNIA — A pair of invasive Japanese algae could spread into the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, according to two members of the sanctuary’s Resource Protection Department. Members of the sanctuary staff, accordingly, are developing an invasive species management plan.

Roxanne Diaz and Sean Hastings of the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary Resource Protection Department recently stated the arrival of spring means devil weed and Wakame – two invasive Japanese algae – are likely to spread in waters just off the Ventura and Santa Barbara coast.

“With spring right around the corner, warmer waters and the high volume of boaters increase the likelihood of spreading the problem – further threatening the sanctuary ecosystem,” Diaz and Hasting stated. “Sargassum horneri (devil weed) and Undaria pinnatifida (Wakame) both have incredibly unique characteristics that allow them to easily spread and invade new areas.”

Wakame has already aggregated into prime anchoring locations, according to recent underwater dive surveys conducted by the Sanctuary Research Team and Channel Islands National Park Kelp Forest Monitoring Team, according to sanctuary staff.

“As the boating season approaches, resource managers are concerned of boat-facilitated spread aiding the natural dispersal of these algae,” Diaz and Hasting stated. “For these reasons, the sanctuary and partners are working

Wakame (pictured) and devil weed could likely spread themselves throughout the waters just off the Ventura and Santa Barbara coasts, according to a report.

on an invasive species management plan to control the spread and prevent further introductions.”

Sanctuary staff stated they would refer to the management of quagga and zebra mussel invasions in freshwater bodies to guide their approach with devil weed and Wakame. Any management plan would emphasize a collaboration of local, state and natural agencies and jurisdictions.

“One of the major goals of the plan is to create a network of coastal partners to increase the capacity to control invasive species along our coast,” Diaz and Hastings stated. “Our hope is that by working together we can at least control the current invasion and prevent further

spread by sanctuary visitors.”

California Sea Grant and UC Santa Barbara’s Marine Science Institute launched a website to help raise awareness of invasive species along the Central Coast; the website is at marineinvasives.org.

“As boaters navigate sanctuary waters, we encourage them to maintain effective control strategies including learning how to properly identify invasive species; keeping hulls, gear, anchors, and anchor lines clean and free of invasive hitchhikers; not intentionally or accidentally removing or releasing invasive species; and reporting sightings of the algae,” sanctuary staff stated.

Classics – Sea Boarder

By Devon Warren In this feature, The Log looks at notable boats — sail and power — that continue to turn heads in Southern California harbors.

Boat name: Sea Boarder Length: 42 ft.

Draft: 3 in.

Beam: 12 in.

Year Built: 1951 The Back Story: Running across a Stephen’s Bros. collectible like Sea Boarder is sure to elicit a strong reaction from lovers of collectible wooden boats, but hers is a truly incredible story of coincidence that might have even the staunchest skeptic scratching his head. William A. Thompson, a financier who started Seaboard Finance Company in 1927, commissioned the tri-cabin cruiser in 1950. Named Sea Boarder as a pun on his business name, Thompson kept her safe at his family home across the way from Balboa Yacht Club. Owner Jim Kroeger, Thompson’s grandson, Classic Yacht Association (CYA) member and wooden boat enthusiast, prefers to keep Sea Boarder free of too many upgrades just as she would have been on the waters in 1951 when she was first set sail.

First Sale & Renovations: Sea Boarder was sold in 1972 and disappeared from existence for more than four decades. “We figured she had been chopped up for

firewood,” Kroeger, who mentions spending years wondering what had happened to his beloved family boat, said. Kroeger had no idea Sea Boarder was undergoing a complete restoration in a Stockton area barn. A boater in Huntington Beach would eventually take ownership of Sea Boarder.

A case of a familiar vessel called Revelry: Kroeger and his significant other, Janet Beggs, who is also a member of CYA, attended a wooden boat festival and encountered a boat named Revelry. The similarities to Kroeger’s grandfather’s boat were striking. Both ran over to further inspect the vessel and what looked like Sea Boarder – could it be her?

Initially, the removed bunk beds and the matter that the helm had been changed from the starboard side to the port side to open the galley threw Kroeger off. Yet a familiar feeling lingered. Revelry, as luck would have it, was confirmed to be Sea Boarder. In an even bigger strike of luck, the previous owner put Sea Boarder up for sale afterwards inviting Kroeger and Beggs back at any time to come aboard.

The owner, in 2015, had a buyer in Seattle but chose to sell her for a reasonable price to Kroeger. “It was

almost like an act of divine intervention that she came back,” Kroeger recalled. “I’m sure my grandfather is laughing at me somewhere about how much money and maintenance I’ve had to put into her!”

The Mystery of Sea Boarder’s Sister Ship: Sea Boarder is one of only two boats of her kind. Somewhere Sea Boarder may have an estranged sister. Kroeger has gone to great lengths to locate the sister ship, but to no avail.

Home at Long Last: Kroeger chose to keep Sea Boarder at Huntington Harbor, the dock she called home after the previous owner purchased her. Those interested in viewing this spectacular yacht can attend the Newport Beach Wooden Boat Festival in June.

OCC’s Nordic Star underway off Newport Beach

Visit Nordic Star at the Boat Show!

Nordic Star, the classic Jack Hargrave designed motoryacht, will be at this year’s boat show after a four year refit by the Orange Coast College Marine Program; the 92-foot aluminum yacht was donated to the College’s Foundation in 2010 by the Jerrel Barto family of Newport Beach.

Nordic Star is now operated as a training vessel for students in OCC’s Professional Mariner Program. Under the flag of Nordic Star Cruises, this traditional yacht also operates as a U.S. Coast Guard certified charter vessel, taking up to 50 passengers for harbor cruises, voyages up and down the coast, and out to Catalina Island.

This iconic vessel was launched in 1969 for Newport Beach’s Pfleger family, and has been a familiar sight in Newport Harbor for almost 50 years. In 2011, staff from OCC’s Marine Program began to convert Nordic Star into a passengercarrying vessel with the goal of keeping her a fine yacht in every respect. Funds

for this effort came from private giving to the project through the OCC Foundation.

Today, Nordic Star is a great choice for a special event, whether it’s a harbor cruise with 50 friends or a family weekend at Catalina Island. Although Nordic Star is one of Newport’s finest charter yachts, her primary mission remains as a training ship for OCC’s maritime students.

Whether on the bridge, in the engine room, or performing deck duty, OCC’s Professional Mariner students benefit greatly from hands-on experience aboard Nordic Star. Students from the program have graduated straight into the industry, working aboard commercial vessels and yachts. Others have transferred to maritime schools including Cal Maritime, the US Coast Guard Academy, and King’s Point NY. For more information, visit Nordic Star at the Boat Show or go to www. occsailing.com or www.nordicstarcruises. com, or call 949-645-9412

Boat Loans from Joni Geis at Sterling Associates If you’re looking for a boat loan, Joni Geis is the person to see. For nearly 20 years, including the past 12 at Sterling Associates, Geis has been securing financing for boaters throughout the United States.

“This is my niche,” says Geis, who is based in San Diego. “There wasn’t a presence here prior to me and I’m still the only person with an office here.”

Geis is also one of the country’s only boat loan specialists with a personal web site, www.boatlendersusa. com, where customers looking to purchase a boat can easily navigate through the process of securing financing.

“I want everybody to be successful, so being able to manage the process when things sometimes get sticky is really key,” Geis says. “There are a lot of moving pieces to what we do, and I want to make sure everybody feels like a hero at the end of the day.”

When putting together a loan, Geis believes that communication with the customer and understanding the needs of the boat dealer and broker are critical elements to a successful outcome.

“I highly respect the broker and the dealer that sends me business,” she says. “I understand the financial situation they’re in and what’s on the line, so that motivates me to do everything to get the customer approved. I work harder for each customer than my competition.

“For customers, you need to be on top of all the transactions that take place in a deal and be able to be professional in dealing with everybody. My communication skills are my strength, and I keep those sharpened.”

Legendary. We don’t need to explain what it means.

Think of a legendary athlete, a legendary destination, or the most legendary catch you’ve ever seen. The picture forms in your mind as clearly and quickly as your eyes move across this page.

Legends are larger than life.

And if you’ll excuse us, we’ll take a bit of credit by noting that many believe that Bertram falls squarely in the category of legendary. We may also need you to excuse us for essentially saying, f– it.

It needs to be even better.

Here’s the thing. You don’t become a legend by being content with the status quo. When Dick Bertram produced the deep-vee hull on the original Moppie, it was a total revelation.

And each subsequent model broke new barriers, pushing performance into uncharted waters.

Naturally, the new Bertram Yachts are a total departure. The newest incarnation takes another surprising turn, which isn’t so unexpected, is it? Sure, it’s based on the timeless, original deep-vee design.

The superior performance and reliability are straight from Bertram’s roots. But everything else, you’ll find bolder and better, with design, detail and craftsmanship on a completely new level.

Here is a vessel that blows everything you’ve ever experienced at its size, and everything we’ve ever made, straight out of the water.

This is a Bertram in every sense of the word, including the part where it’s like nothing that’s come before it.

LONG BEACH — The eyes of the sailing world will be looking at Long Beach during the middle stretch of April, as Long Beach Yacht Club’s Ficker Cup returns to Southeast Los Angeles County. The offshore racing event will be held April 12-15 in Long Beach, just ahead of the 54th annual Congressional

Cup. Racing at this year’s Ficker Cup will officially begin on April 13 and continue until April 15; the race office will open April 12.

Only eight skippers - all invited by the organizing committee - will participate in the Ficker Cup, which is a World Sailing Grade 2 competition.

The top two winners will receive invitations to the Congressional Cup, which takes place April 17-22.

All teams will compete against each other in Catalina 37 (to be provided by Long Beach YC). Each team will have a crew of 6 or 7.

Stage 1 of the race will be a double round robin, followed by the semifinals in Stage 2 and Petit Final in Stage 3. The fourth stage will be the final.

“The course will be windward/leeward with starboard rounding, finishing downwind,” the event’s Notice of Race stated. “The intended course area will be off Belmont Memorial Pier on the Congressional Cup Stadium Course.”

Prizes and honors will be awarded immediately after racing on April 15.

The top three finishers will receive medals, while the first place team will have its name engraved on the Ficker Cup.

Scott Dickson (Dickson Racing Team) won the 2017 Ficker Cup; David Storrs and his Pequot Racing Team finished second.

Long Beach YC established the Ficker Cup of Bill Ficker, who won the 1970 America’s Cup with Intrepid; Ficker also won the Congressional Cup in 1974.

The “granddaddy” of competitive sailing match racing events will be held from April 17 to 22.

By Devon Warren

LONG BEACH — World-class sailors – some as notable as Ted Turner, Ed Baird and Dennis Connor – have previously competed in the Congressional Cup, a race testing every ounce of sailing strength and ability. The next batch of notable sailors will compete against each other at this year’s Congressional Cup, which will be hosted by Long Beach Yacht Club, April 17-22. The course begins at Veterans Memorial Pier near Belmont Shore off the Long Beach coast. Match racing events pit two contestants against each other, calling for each crew to employ strategies against the other to cross the finish line first.

In 2017, Ian Williams took home the cup with his team GAC Pindar. Williams

also won consecutive years in 2011 and 2012. Among the top competitors from last year’s race were Johnie Bentsson and Taylor Canfield, both having won races before with Canfield placing first for the previous three years in a row.

Bentsson and Williams, in an incredibly close race, went into the Finals within one point of each other, proving how every tactic and move matters up until the bitter end when it comes to this event.

Top prizes awarded to the winner will include the winner’s name being engraved onto the Congressional Cup as well as a replica of the Crimson Blazer. Prize money will also be awarded to the top eight teams and the winner of the Fleet Race, the total sum equating to $75,000. The first place team will receive $16,000.

Entries will be accepted only from invited skippers. Those who wish to be invited to participate must submit a formal request. Registration for the event can be done through Long Beach YC. Competing skippers have not been announced for the 2018 year, but are

Annual sailing event shifts schedule and will now be held in April.

By Parimal M. Rohit SANTA BARBARA — The growing popularity of one of the most recognizable regattas on California’s Central Coast has forced organizers to reschedule the sailing competition prior to Santa Barbara’s peak summer season.

Santa Barbara Yacht Club will host the annual Wine and Roses Regatta during Earth Day weekend, a shift from the competition’s usual running in August.

This year’s regatta will run April 20-22; the competition was held Aug. 17-19 in 2017.

The regatta began in 1994 and has been hosted by Santa Barbara YC and Southern California Hobie Cat fleets.

City staff, in a report to commissioners during the March 15 Harbor Commission meeting, stated the regatta has been a well-run event.

“The event has been well attended over the years. At the end of each year’s event, the beach and parking lot facilities have been left in good condition,” city staff told commissioners.

City staff acknowledged the regatta

was best shifted to April to better accommodate its growing popularity.

Over the years, the popularity of the Waterfront area has increased tremendously and Waterfront parking lots routinely fill to capacity on busy summer weekends from May through October,” city staff told commissioners. “As a result, Waterfront staff found that the timing of the event in August could no longer be sustained and future Wine and Roses Regattas would not be allowed to take place Santa Barbara Yacht Club’s Wine and Roses Regatta will be held at an earlier date this year. The regatta used to be held annually in August, but the event will now run in April. between Memorial Day and Labor Day. “At the request of Waterfront staff and as agreed to by the Harbor Commission at meeting to request permits for particithem to safeguard their equipment. their May 18, 2017 meeting, the event pants to camp out at the event venue “The boats and equipment on has been moved annually from August (Leadbetter Beach). the beach tend to be expensive and to April,” city staff continued.

2021 America’s Cup will be held on Auckland’s waterfront Log News Service AUCKLAND, New Zealand — The 36th America’s Cup will be held on the Auckland waterfront in 2021.

Emirates Team New Zealand, Auckland Mayor Phil Goff and federal Economic Development Minister David Parker announced an agreement had been reached over the structure of the base village for the event, March 26.

“We have agreed a base configuration that is less expensive than previous options and requires a much smaller extension into the harbor. It allows the earlier removal of hazardous substance tanks from the southern part of the Point, is more straightforward to consent, will be quicker to construct and creates a positive legacy for Auckland,” Goff said.

“This is a huge relief to have reached the agreement with Government and Council over the event venue and host agreement. Our determination to have the event in Auckland never wavered despite plenty of challenges right up until the 11th Emirates Team New Zealand will host the 2021 America’s Cup on the Auckland waterfront, it was announced by the hour,” Team New Zealand CEO city’s leadership.

Grant Dalton said.

Zealand plan essentially eliminates the need for any extension of the Halsey Wharf, which brings with it a significant cost reduction and situates the team in the Viaduct Events Centre. One team would then be housed on the extension on Hobson Wharf, while the remainder of the team bases line up along the Wynyard Wharf.

Parker said he felt this was the best outcome under the circumstances.

“I am very pleased to advise that

we have succeeded in negotiating a venue on the Auckland waterfront that all New Zealanders can be proud of. It significantly reduces the intrusion into the harbor at the lowest practical cost,” Parker said in a statement. “Our work in reaching this point has seen a major cost reduction for taxpayers and Auckland ratepayers of more than $50 million, compared to other options.”

Parker thanked Team New Zealand for its cooperative approach that helped achieve the final agreement.

The announcement that a plan has finally been approved has been well received in New Zealand as there have been growing concerns the event would not be held in Auckland, which would have been a disaster given the lengths Emirates Team New Zealand went to winning it from Team USA in Bermuda in 2017.

Team New Zealand became a household name in their home country following their consecutive wins in the America’s Cup in 1995 and 2000.

The transition from winter to spring has been rough for Southern California’s anglers, but the patience appeared to pay off for those dropping lines off the Dana Point coast. “We continued to fish deep on our three-quarter days,” Capt. Brian Woolley of Dana Wharf Sportfishing and Whale Watching said in a recent report. “As was the case last week, our current out in the deep water did [affect] us a day or two but not enough to make it unfishable. Tuesday [March 20] was the standout day – conditions lined up and fish bit pretty good. Nice reds, bocaccio and barber poles.”

SALTWATER OCEAN FISHING REPORT

By Terrence Berg 976-TUNA.com GENERAL FORECAST: With better weather, the full moon on March 31, and ripping tides, the ocean fishing bite is set to make a major turn-around all along the coast. Local anglers are saying the white sea bass, halibut, bass and yellowtail bites are all poised to break open any day. Now is the time to start checking landing counts and 976-TUNA daily if cabin fever has set in and you need to get out.

SAN DIEGO LOCAL UPDATE: Rockfish, sculpin, and whitefish for most of the half-day boats running out of San Diego. The bite has been just fair at best, with three to seven fish per rod on boats with light loads, and about one fish per rod on busy weekend trips.

There has been very light coverage at the Coronado Islands and nearshore banks reached by three-quarter- and full-day trips, however there are quite a few yellowtails starting to accumulate. San Diego out of Seaforth Sportfishng had 15 anglers on a March 27 full-day trip and landed 49 yellowtails, 60 red snapper, 40 other assorted rockfish, and one bonito.

LOS ANGELES-ORANGE COUNTY UPDATE: The rockfish action has been better for the Los Angeles and Orange County boats than the San Diego fleet, with most trips getting from four to seven fish per angler, while many of the light-load trips have reported limits.

The half-day Redondo Special out of

Redondo Sportfishing in Redondo Beach, for example, had just 12 anglers on its March 24 afternoon trip and landed 120 assorted rockfish and seven whitefish.

On March 27, the boat was out with 78 anglers and landed 183 rockfish, 86 whitefish, 15 red snapper, and 10 sculpin – nearly a four-fish per angler average.

Also on March 27, Native Sun out of 22nd Street Landing in San Pedro had 20 anglers on a three-quarter-day trip and landed near limits of rockfish with 79 red snapper, 68 assorted other rockfish, and 38 bocaccio. They also had 12 whitefish, four scuplin, and one lingcod.

Very few boats are running full-day or overnight trips to the islands right, but El Dorado out of Long Beach Sportfishing had 32 anglers on March 28 overnight trip and hammered the bottom fish at the islands, catching 275 whitefish, 272 rockfish, 48 red snapper, 42 sheephead, and three lingcod.

OXNARD TO SANTA BARBARA NEWS: The rockfish bite continues to be excellent for the northerly Southern California Landings in Oxnard, Ventura, and Santa Barbara region. Limits have been the rule – even for half-day boats since the weather allowed boasts back out on the water in recent days.

At Channel Islands Sportfishing in Oxnard, Gentleman was on a three-quarter-day trip with 33 anglers and landed full limits of 330 mixed rockfish. The half-day Speed Twin with 54 anglers also returned with 540 assorted rockfish for
