Military branch would maintain its presence in Marina del Rey for up to 20 more years.

By Parimal M. Rohit

MARINA DEL REY—The U.S. Coast Guard will maintain its presence in Marina del Rey, potentially providing peace of mind for local boaters.

A lease agreement between the Coast Guard and Los Angeles County was approved by the latter’s Board of Supervisors, March 19. The lease option contract is for one year, with 19 one-year options, meaning the Coast Guard could stay in Marina del Rey until the end of the 2030s (if each option was exercised).

“The proposed new Lease will help to ensure [Coast Guard’s] continued presence in Marina del Rey, where it serves an important role in promoting boating safety in local waters,” county staff stated in a formal report to supervisors.

Members of the Small Craft Harbor Commission unanimously recommended the L.A. County Board of Supervisors approve a 20-year lease option contract with the Coast Guard back in February, allowing the military branch to remain in Marina del Rey. “The [Coast Guard] has maintained a presence in Marina del Rey since

the early 1960’s and the existing lease between the county and the [Coast Guard] commenced July 22, 1999, expired Sept. 30, 2018, and has continued on a holdover basis since then,” L.A. County Department of Beach and Harbors staff stated in a drafted report to supervisors.

“The proposed new Lease will help to ensure [Coast Guard’s] continued presence in Marina del Rey, where it serves an important role in promoting boating safety in local waters.”

County staff added the Coast Guard’s presence allows for prioritization of “environmental health oversight and The U.S. Coast Guard will maintain its presence in Marina del Rey after the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors monitoring.” approved a lease extension with the federal agency.

Man survives being stranded in the ocean for 3 and a half hours using his jeans NEW ZEALAND—One never knows when a boating safety tip – and a clothing item – can come in handy. A German man named Arne Murke, 30, owes his life to a navy trick that helped him fashion a flotation device from his jeans.

Murke, who had sailed Down Under from Brazil with his brother, fell overboard on March 6 when the yacht’s boom swung out unexpectedly.

Murke’s brother threw a life vest, but it was too late – Murke was carried into the ocean’s swell out of the reach of the yacht.

Fortunately, Murke was aware of the trick for making a flotation device with a pair of pants, a trick that many

“We depend on feeding our families from the ocean. We need the ocean to be a clean environment for our animals,” Rosemary Ahtuangaruak, a plaintiff from Alaska, said in a telephone interview. With the Trump administration considering an oil and gas lease sale in Alaska’s Beaufort Sea, she said, people fear both spills and dispersants.

THE LOG TAGS ALONG TO COSTA RICA Karen Knapp, a broker with Intripid Yachts based in San Diego, recently took a trip to Costa Rica – and she brought a copy of The Log with her. Here, Karen is pictured near a lighthouse known as Punta de Puntarenas.

The capital city of the Puntarenas Province, the area is known for its modest beaches and the wildlife refuge, San Lucas Island, nearby.

The article states: “As soon as you hit the water, pull those pants off. Once they’re off, tie the pant legs together with a simple square knot, then grab the pants by the waistline. Now pull them out of the water and give them a good whip, letting the pant legs fill with as much air as possible before hitting the water again. Each pant leg should balloon up with air, but this may take a few attempts to get it right. After you capture enough air, put your head through like it’s a life vest and hold the waist of your pants closed with one hand. As you float, use your other hand to keep the pant legs wet so they can retain the air inside longer.

Even if you’re near the shore, this trick can make swimming a lot easier and keep you from tiring out.” sue unless the agency acts within 60 days.

Sri Lanka partners with Chinese port to build $3.9 billion oil refinery COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP)—Work began March 24 on a $3.9 billion oil refinery to be funded by a Singapore-Oman joint venture next to a Chinese-run port in what will be Sri Lanka’s largest foreign investment ever.

The refinery and a tank farm will be built on 237 hectares (585 acres) of land lying about 235 kilometers (146 miles) south of Colombo, Sri Lanka’s capital,

In the United States Coast Guard’s 2017 Recreational Boating Statistics, it was revealed 76 percent of accident victims drowned, with 84.5 percent of those victims not wearing a life jacket. While Murke survived this event, it’s also a reminder no matter how skilled a sailor one is mistakes can happen at sea. Wearing a flotation device may seem childish, but in the event one is thrown overboard, a life vest can ultimately save one’s life by ensuring staying afloat in the ocean or other waterways. near the Hambantota port that is controlled by a Chinese firm. The refinery is expected to be up and running in 2023.

The refinery will produce 200,000 barrels per day, mainly for export, though Sri Lankan companies could place orders for refined products and sell them to local consumers.

Nalin Bandara, Sri Lanka’s deputy minister of international trade, said last week that the refinery will be a joint venture between Singapore-based Silver Park International Private Ltd. and the Sultanate of Oman’s Ministry of Oil and Gas.

The peons always get screwed…

Ethanol in gas has been proven to be destructive of engines and fuel components, lowers gas mileage and actually creates more smog. Plus, it takes well over a gallon of oil to create a gallon of ethanol. So why exactly are we being mandated to use it? Oh, that is right, the politically connected profit off of it, while us peons get screwed.

Re: Harbor fee resolution approved by Avalon City Council (March 22-April 4 issue)

Regarding a print error for renting Avalon moorings Hi, didn’t know if you were advised of an error in your most recent The Log story about Avalon City Council actions on page 16, last column. You cannot make Avalon harbor mooring reservations by telephone or by online contact to the Harbor Department. This only applies to Isthmus moorings. Upon reading your article, I immediately called the Avalon Harbor Department to confirm. They stated the article is incorrect and you have to be at the front of the harbor entrance with your boat to be assigned a mooring. Oh well, maybe someday... I did go to the online site you mentioned and you can see a chart showing what boat size and number of moorings are available on a given day in Avalon, which helps with planning trips.

Endangered Efforts: Time to Bid Farewell to Vaquita?

Scientists say less than one-dozen of the marine mammal remains in Baja California’s Sea of Cortez. Is it too late to save the species?

By Parimal M. Rohit STATEWIDE—And then there were only 10. No need to apply within for job openings of doomsday spokesperson, as the vaquita porpoise might be fully extinct before the end of this decade – which, by the way, is less than eight months away.

The Log, in our coverage of the marine mammal in 2017 and 2018, reported there were 30 or fewer vaquitas remaining in the world.

Alarm bells are ringing louder as an international committee of scientists recently reported the vaquita population dropped from 30ish … to about 10. Animal Welfare Institute actually reported a range of remaining vaquita, stating, in a March 14 statement, there are between six

and 22 of the marine mammal species still alive.

Efforts to raise awareness of – and save – the vaquita, which calls the upper shores of Baja California’s Sea of Cortez home, are, accordingly, failing.

Now it is still possible for the vaquita to make a miraculous comeback, joining the ranks of the southern sea otter, humpback whale and green sea turtle as species triumphantly rebounding from endangerment or extinction.

The vaquita’s culprit: drift gillnets placed along the floor of the Sea of Cortez by commercial fisheries. Those fisheries have actually been targeting valuable totoaba, which sell for quite a bit of coin in the Chinese black market. Vaquitas, unfortunately, consistently get caught in these gillnets, rarely surviving (if ever). Attempts to monitor commercial fishery activity in the Sea of Cortez (also known as the Gulf of California) and implementations of seafood bans from those who use gillnets in waters off the Baja coast were geared toward stifling illegal fishing activities in See STANDING WATCH page 10

Sailing at the 1964 Summer Olympics

By Parimal M. Rohit

TOKYO, Japan—The International Olympic Committee recently unveiled the design of the torch for the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo, which means we’re inching even closer to various sailing classes competing against each other at the quadrennial athletic competition in Japan.

Next year’s Summer Games will use the same yacht harbor sailing teams competed at during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Did you know the yacht harbor at Enoshima Island was specifically built for Olympic competition?

An infusion of infrastructure is a common selling point for cities seeking to host an Olympic event. Hosting an Olympics, it has been argued, benefits the host city long after the Games are over, particularly in the usable infrastructure left behind. Enoshima Yacht Harbour is one such example of this argument/selling point. The harbor was built specifically for sailing events at the 1964 Summer Games – and it has been used ever since as a destination for recreational boating.

The official report of the 1964 Summer Games stated Enoshima Yacht Harbour, which is located in Sagami Bay, was the only venue capable of

hosting competitive sailing events.

“Water surface on sea or lake and a yacht harbour are the prime essentials for yacht races, and the requirements for Olympic Yachting competitions need both wide water surface and a large harbour,” the official report of the 1964 Summer Games stated. “In the neighbourhood of Tokyo, Sagami Bay was the only area that could furnish the three necessary courses for the five Olympic races.

“No [satisfactory] harbour existed on Sagami Bay, however, to meet the requirements,” the official report continued. “It was decided therefore to build a large scale harbour at Enoshima in preparation for the 1964 Olympics. This decision coincided with the Enoshima port development project.”

Construction of the harbor started in May 1963 and continued until August 1964; the harbor was built by Shimizu Construction Co. and designed by Taniguchi Yoshiro and Yamada Mizuki Architects.

Sailing events will be held at the harbor yet again in 2020, when the Summer Games return to Tokyo for the first time in 56 years.

Blips on the Radar American Sailing Association launches women’s education initiative What Happened: The American Sailing Association (ASA), in an initiative to encourage more women to be on the water, has launched a women’s education program called “Women Wake Up Zone.”

Launching such an initiative, the nonprofit organization believes, would help sailing achieve gender equality and create more women sailors. “[With] March being designated as Women’s History Month, the world’s largest sailing organization chose March 2019 to embark upon a crusade to bring more women into sailing,” an ASA spokesperson said in a released statement about Women Wake Up Zone.

ASA President Cindy Shabes said men disproportionately outnumber women in sailing.

“When people hear ‘sailing,’ they often think of stuffy, 60-year-old men behind the wheel while women watch,” Shabes said.

“Although a recent market research study shows that men outnumber women seven to one as registered boat owners, many of our instructors and high-level instructor evaluators are now women, and many of our schools are now owned or managed by women.”

What’s On Tap: ASA’s Women Wake Up

By Parimal M. Rohit

Zone initiative will offer courses geared toward women. The courses are: • Raise a Sail • Save Someone • Take the Helm • Tie the Knot • Work the Winch.

“While this campaign is new, in the future we plan to move to having no special training for women sailors because, with the technological advances, it has truly become a gender-neutral activity,” Shabes said in a released statement. “We just need more women to get involved and spread the word.”

ASA added one in three newly enrolled students in its schools, nationwide, were women. The organization anticipates at least 50 percent of students enrolling in ASA courses in 2020 will be women.

Increasing the numbers of women in the maritime industry (cargo shipping, cruises, ferries, etc.), as a whole, would go a long way go encouraging women to take up sailing, Shabes added.

“More women in the industry will also encourage more women to consider sailing,” Shabes stated.

Coast Guard anticipates an increased presence in Southern California What Happened: Coast Guard Adm. Karl Schultz, in a State of the Coast Guard

Seaman Ryan Estrada photo

Latest News Updates

Coast Guard Adm. Karl Schultz, in a formal address at San Pedro in late March, said he expects to see his agency have an increased presence in Southern California.

address he made on March 21 at San Pedro, said the military arm could increase its presence in Southern California. The expanded presence, according to Schultz, could include construction of a new air station at Ventura County Naval Station, home porting of two Offshore Patrol Cutters at the Coast Guard base in Los Angeles by 2021 and adding four new Fast Response Cutters (also in Los Angeles).

“Just up the coastline at Point Mugu, we are building a new Air Station at the Ventura County Naval Station,” Schultz said during his address. “And the pier to my left [here in San Pedro] will be the homeport of our newest cutters. Not only will the first two Offshore Patrol Cutters be stationed here, but the port will soon have four new Fast Response Cutters.”

Once of those Fast Response Cutters – Terrell Horne – was christened on March 22, one day after Schultz’s speech.

Schultz added the Coast Guard has an

“extensive shore infrastructure backlog that now exceeds $1.7 billion.” The remarks were made as part of his first ever State of the Coast Guard address.

What’s On Tap: The Coast Guard will continue to maintain its operations at the Port of Los Angeles, a commercial harbor also home to several recreational boating marinas.

“Our mission ready total workforce is the civilian port security specialist striving to enhance safety and security standards,” Schultz said. “The rescue swimmer who saves the fishermen minutes before their boat sinks; the cutter crew intercepting illicit drugs carried aboard a low-profile vessel; the elite deployable specialized forces team boarding non-compliant vessels in the Arabian Gulf; and, the volunteer Coast Guard Auxiliarist, educating recreational boaters on the Great Lakes.”

Standing Watch From page 6

Northwest Mexico. Local governments in the vaquita habitat region even offered commercial fishermen incentives to not engage in illegal fishing activities. Enforcement measures were implemented to eradicate as many gillnets as possible in the Sea of Cortez – though such efforts do not appear to be working fast enough.

So what more can be done to save the handful of vaquita still remaining – and use the current population to rebuild the marine mammal’s population to something sustainable? We have, after all, seen other species recover from endangered species status. In fact six species in California alone were taking of the endangered species list in 2013, including the southern sea otter, humpback whale and green sea turtle mentioned above.

Seafood bans, incentives for commercial fishers and environmental groups monitoring for illegal fishing activity have yet to reverse the trend of disappearing vaquitas. There was also an effort to capture a few remaining vaquita and rebuild the species in captivity – yet that plan ended almost as quickly as it started when one of the marine mammals had died while held captive.

Several aquariums, meanwhile, launched a postcard campaign to implore the Mexican president to be more proactive in protecting vaquita from gillnets and illegal fishing activities. The postcards were delivered to the Mexican president a few months ago, but it’s unclear whether the campaign translated into action.

What if the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO, stepped in and required the governments of Mexico and the United States to step up and do more to rid the Sea of Cortez of gillnets? UNESCO, for those who don’t recall, postponed a decision to declare the vaquita species as “in-danger.”

The international organization has not appeared to do anything since deciding to postpone the in-danger classification in July 2018. UNESCO officials held off on declaring the marine mammal as in-danger of being extinct because they wanted to see whether policies already in place would save the vaquita from disappearing.

Several vaquitas have since died, according to the most recent estimates – perhaps the policies currently in place weren’t/aren’t quite as effective as UNESCO officials had hoped. Perhaps UNESCO needs to revisit its deliberation on the vaquita’s near extinction.

TAKE ACTION The estimates, if true, are disheartening – as few as six vaquitas remain in the world. If nothing is done then the number might as well be zero – those six vaquita won’t survive much longer. Yet if at least two remain then the right amount of action might be able to save the marine mammal from extinction.

Reach out to the following organizations or agencies and ask them if there is anything they can do to prevent the vaquita from going extinct.

Harbor Director Mark Sandoval addresses nearly 80 people at the first of a series of sessions of the new Channel Islands Harbor Academy.

First session of Channel Islands Harbor Academy is in the books Harbor director kicked off the series to expand resident’s knowledge of harbor operations.

By Catherine French

OXNARD—About 80 area residents attended the first in a series of five sessions of the new Channel Islands Harbor Academy at Channel Islands Yacht Club, Feb. 28. Channel Islands Harbor Director Mark Sandoval and staff created the Harbor Academy as an outreach effort to educate residents about the Ventura County Harbor Department operations and to address key issues.

Each of the five planned sessions are to address different areas of harbor operations, including harbor history and finance, harbor development and planning, the Channel Islands Boating Center, harbor patrol and maintenance, and harbor marketing and promotion.

“I approached this series of presentations with a little trepidation, knowing the passion for certain topics in the harbor. I was wondering if I was heading into the lion’s den dressed as a tri-tip,” stated Sandoval.

In a follow up message on the harbor’s website, Sandoval said he thought the first session was a successful presentation, which included some spirited give and take.

Sandoval, in the first session, presented a brief history of the harbor’s development and how harbor projects are financed.

Ventura County and the City of Oxnard entered into an annexation agreement in 1963. The agreement called for a separation of responsibilities. Oxnard would be in charge of creating and maintaining public parks, parking lots, lighting, landscaping, sewers, and restrooms, while the county was charged with overseeing harbor operations, development, and planning and lease management.

Sandoval explained, when the harbor was developed, it was decided to work as a ‘pay as you go’ operation – meaning, no county, or harbor money would be used for development.

“There is a misperception that there

is a ‘harbor tax’ charged to the retail establishments in the harbor. This is not the case. Consistent in the commercial retail industry, we charge rent for the operations in the harbor. That rent is in the form of a percentage of gross revenue of the business, again consistent in the industry,” explained Sandoval.

In the finance portion of the presentation, Sandoval went through the current budget and compared it to what is needed for all the projects planned.

“The Harbor Department currently has $9 million of available reserves to fund public capital needs in the harbor.

Unfortunately, the list of capital projects currently totals an estimated $23 million,” stated Sandoval.

Sandoval pointed out the budget has further been challenged since the city of Oxnard stopped maintaining the public spaces since October 2018, as a revised agreement to replace the expired one has not been approved. The city continues to receive taxes and other revenues slated for harbor maintenance. Since then, harbor staff has taken on the maintenance duties with the hit to the budget for 2019 at $500,000.

According to Sandoval, to keep harbor development moving forward current plans include, taking the long-shuttered Whale’s Tail Restaurant property lease to the Board of Supervisors in April, with construction activity to begin shortly after. Fresco II Restaurant will take on this new lease.

“The three projects on the peninsula (on the harbor’s east side), the Hyatt House Hotel and Restaurant, the Peninsula Yacht Anchorage Marina and the County revetment project are all finishing the permitting process.

We are still negotiating shared area expense issues and schedule coordination between all parties, and anticipate seeing the construction on Peninsula Road to begin in the next few months,” said Sandoval.

The next session for the Academy workshop, with focus on Planning and Development, will be held April 4 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Pacific Corinthian Yacht Club (2600 Harbor Boulevard, Channel Islands Harbor).

venture, while Oman controls 30 percent.

Oman’s oil and gas minister, Mohammed bin Hamad Al Rumhi, together with the top officials from Silver Park attended a launching ceremony, which was broadcast live on state television.

“We feel obliged and honored to be invited to take part in the development of Sri Lanka,” Rumhi said.

Sri Lankan officials say the project is the biggest foreign investment in the country’s history.

The investment comes as Sri Lanka struggles to repay $5.9 billion in foreign loans this year, of which 40 percent must be serviced by the end of this month. The country used its reserves to repay a $1 billion sovereign bond loan in January.

Much of Sri Lanka’s foreign debt is from China, with loans obtained to build highways and other infrastructure projects, including some that have become white elephants, deepening the country’s debt burden.

Sri Lanka leased the $1.4 billion Chinesebuilt Hambantota port, located near the world’s busiest east-west shipping route, to a Chinese firm in 2017 for 99 years in a bid to recover from the heavy burden of repaying a loan received to build the facility.

The port is part of Beijing’s so-called string-of-pearls plan for a line of ports stretching from Chinese waters to the Persian Gulf.

China’s influence in Sri Lanka makes neighboring India anxious because it considers the Indian Ocean region to be its strategic backyard. Sri Lanka’s government has been trying to balance both Asian giants. Sri Lankan officials have reiterated that the port’s security will be handled by the government in an attempt to allay fears that the port could be used by China as a military hub.

Sri Lanka expects a $7 billion rise in its foreign earnings once the refinery begins production.

Maine’s lobster fishermen petition limitations on aquaculture industry BRUNSWICK, Maine (AP)—A group that includes some lobster fishermen has organized a petition asking Maine officials to put limits on new aquaculture operations in the state.

The group says a bump in the number of new licenses could impact where lobstermen are able to lay their traps. The complaint comes as Maine’s farm-raised oyster industry has been growing, as the industry was worth six times more in 2017 than 2011.

The Portland Press Herald reports the organizers submitted a petition with 189 signatures to the Maine Department of Marine Resources. That’s more than the number needed to start a rule-making process.

The petitioners want a statewide moratorium on pending lease applications that are more than 10 acres. They say they fear the state’s most valuable fishery could lose access to the ocean.

LOCAL New Coast Guard vessel named for fallen petty officer LOS ANGELES (AP)—A new Coast Guard

The Log • April 5 - 18, 2019 • 11

cutter commissioned March 22 honors a petty officer who was killed in a confrontation with suspected smugglers off Southern California.

Terrell Horne’s widow, Rachel, and three young sons attended the ceremony at Coast Guard Base Los Angeles-Long Beach.

“The crew and I did not have to look any further than the cutter’s stern for guidance or inspiration in our efforts to contribute to the successes of the world’s best coast guard,” said Lt. John Beal, the cutter’s first commander.“Senior Chief Horne, whose name is on the transom, represented the very best of our nation’s military servicemen and -women.”

Horne was killed in December 2012 as crewmembers from the Marina del Reybased cutter Halibut were maneuvering an inflatable boat near Santa Cruz Island to intercept a panga, a type of boat favored by smugglers trying to bring contraband and people north from Mexico.

As the panga moved to ram the inflatable boat, Horne pushed another crew member out of the way, then was hurled overboard by the impact and suffered fatal head injuries.

The panga captain, Jose Mejia-Leyva, was convicted of murder and assaults on four federal officers. A federal judge sentenced him to life in prison. Another man from the panga received a 10-year sentence.

The commissioning ceremony drew Adm. Karl Schultz, who is commandant of the Coast Guard, other service leaders and members of Horne’s extended family.

The vessel is the third of four new Fast Response Cutters to be based in Los Angeles for service in the 11th Coast Guard District, which includes all of California and international waters off Mexico and Central America, where interceptions routinely haul in huge loads of illicit drugs.

The cutters, part of efforts to modernize the Coast Guard fleet, have advanced systems and can reach speeds of 28 knots (32 mph or 52 kph). Each ship has a crew of 24, a range of 2,500 miles (4,023 kilometers) and is capable of patrols lasting up to five days.

U.S. Coast Guard says more funds are necessary for operations, infrastructure LOS ANGELES (AP)—The commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard says the service is about to award a contract for a muchneeded new icebreaker, but additional vessels are needed along with more funding for operations and infrastructure.

Adm. Karl Schultz outlined the state of the Coast Guard in a speech to personnel at its base in the Port of Los Angeles.

Schultz says he appreciates the funding in the fiscal 2019 budget and in President Donald Trump’s 2020 budget request. But he says the Coast Guard has deferred maintenance, a strained and undersize workforce and a backlog of more than $1.7 billion in shore infrastructure needs.

Its only working heavy icebreaker is 43 years old.

Shultz also announced initiatives to create better conditions for female and minority service members.

Office of Outdoor Recreation proposal clears first committee

By Parimal M. Rohit

SACRAMENTO—Jerry Brown is no longer California’s governor, so he won’t be around to veto the latest iteration of bill proposing to establish a statewide office for outdoor recreational activities. Assembly Bill 1111, which is making its way through committee right now, was approved at its first stop on March 26.

AB 1111 was introduced by Assembly member Laura Friedman and proposed to establish the Office of Outdoor Recreation, which would be a new operation within California’s government. Brown rejected a similar proposal in one of his last acts as governor in 2018.

Friedman’s proposal now moves forward to the Assembly Appropriations Committee; her proposal earned support from the Recreational Boaters of California, or RBOC. “RBOC supports the goal of promoting sustainable outdoor recreation as well as economic development and job growth within the outdoor recreation economy provided the new entity does not tap into boater funds utilized for other important programs and services,” the nonprofit organization said in a released position statement.

The Office of Outdoor Recreation, if created, would foster several goals, such as working toward equitable access of the outdoors and recommending policies or initiatives to enhance inclusive access of recreational amenities.

Staff of a new Office of Outdoor Recreation, if created, would also be directed to promote and grow outdoor recreation by working together with economic development organizations, government agencies and tourism entities, according to an analysis of AB 1111 by RBOC staff.

The new office, according to RBOC,

approved in the Assembly and State Senate but was vetoed by Brown in September 2018.

Brown, in his veto statement, said the creation of an Office of Sustainable Outdoor Recreation, while noble, would create an added layer of unnecessary bureaucracy.

The Office of Sustainable Outdoor Recreation, had it survived Brown’s veto last year, would have been called upon, according to The Log’s coverage of last year’s veto, to support California’s outdoor recreational economy California’s legislators will again consider whether to establish a formal office for outdoor recreation activities.

Ridin’ Waves in Corona Del Mar, 1950s

CORONA DEL MAR—Surfing started to become a popular sport in Southern California during the early half of the 20th century. By the 1950s surfing was a fairly common activity, as seen by this group of surfers riding the waves near Corona Del Mar. Duke Kahanamoku, who is immortalized in statue form on Huntington Beach’s Main Street, is largely considered the first surfer who brought the sport to the West Coast. “The Big Kahuna,” as he was called by some, was born in Honolulu Hawai’i in 1890 and was a descendant of royalty – at one time surfing was said to be a sport that only royal family members could participate.

Today it’s nearly impossible to visit a California beach without passing a surfer or two (or more). Visit dukeswaikiki.com for more information about Duke Kahanamoku.

U.S. senators re-introduce bill to modernize California’s drift gillnet fishery Legislation aims to phase out long nets used to catch swordfish.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The future of large, mesh drift gillnets, which are used to catch swordfish off the California coast, has caught the ire of at least two senators in Washington, D.C. Can the duo recruit enough legislators in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to get the Driftnet Modernization and Bycatch Reduction Act to Pres. Donald J. Trump’s desk for possible signature?

California legislators banned drift gillnets in state waters last year but are still legal in federal waters off the California coast. The Drift Modernization and Bycatch Reduction Act would extend the state’s protections to federal waters within five years. Fishermen would receive assistance from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to transition away from the mile long mesh drift gillnets and toward something more sustainable.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, re-introduced the Driftnet Modernization and Bycatch Reduction Act on March 27. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-West Virginia, joined Feinstein in re-introducing the bill on the Senate floor.

Both senators argue the drift gillnets cause significant bycatch waste by killing or severely killing endangered, protected or other marine species. The Feinstein-Capito bill, both senators stated, would modernize California’s swordfish fishery by “phasing out the use of mile long drift gillnets.”

“California took the important first step to protect marine animals from large mesh driftnets off our coast and it’s imperative we now extend those protections into federal waters,” Feinstein said in a released statement. “It’s heartbreaking that a single

Sen. Dianne Feinstein is campaigning to phase out the drift gillnet fishery in federal waters off the coast of California.

California fishery using this type of driftnet is killing more dolphins and porpoises than all other fisheries along the West Coast and Alaska combined.

“Our bipartisan bill will remove these harmful nets from all of California’s coastal waters and facilitate more sustainable fishing methods,” Feinstein continued.

Capito, meanwhile, pointed out large mesh driftnets – another way to identify drift gillnets – are banned in all

states yet are still causing significant harm off the California coast.

“Large mesh driftnets – which are banned in all states – are still injuring or killing a large amount of marine animals off the coast of California. That’s why I’m proud to reintroduce this bipartisan bill that will ensure harmful driftnets are no longer allowed in any

of our U.S. waters,” Capito said, also in a released statement.

The American Sportfishing Association (ASA) hailed the FeinsteinCapito bill as “overdue.”

“These reforms are long overdue,” Danielle Cloutier, ASA’s Pacific Fisheries policy director, said. “Drift gillnets are banned in all other areas of the U.S. and significant improvements have also been made internationally to end this type of fishing gear. The

bycatch.”

“Recent data indicate that overall only 40 percent of the catch is kept using this method. The remaining catch, which includes sportfish, and other marine life, is returned to the ocean, much of which is already dead,” ASA staff said.

Feinstein’s staff added dozens of marine species were injured or killed as a result of being entangled with large mesh driftnets.

“Large mesh driftnets, which are more than a mile long, are left in the ocean overnight to catch swordfish and thresher sharks. However, at least 60 other marine species, including whales, dolphins, sea lions, sea turtles, fish and sharks, can also become entangled in the large mesh nets, injuring or killing them,” Feinstein’s staff said in a released statement. “Most of these animals, referred to as bycatch, are then discarded.

“The use of large mesh driftnets by a single fishery in California is responsible for 90 percent of the dolphins and porpoises killed along the West Coast and Alaska,” Feinstein’s staff continued.

Capito and Feinstein re-introduced their bill a few months after California’s lawmakers approved significant changes to the swordfish drift gillnet fishery. The state action, however, isn’t enough, according to the ASA. “The California state legislature moved [in 2018] to address this fishery and make similar changes to how the fishery operates. Federal action is needed to close the loop on this wasteful fishing method because the fishery is jointly managed by both federal and state agencies,” ASA staff said.

The Trump administration reportedly rejected a push in 2017 to increase the accountability of California’s swordfish fishery.

Members of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation is the first committee to weigh in on the Driftnet Modernization and Bycatch Reduction Act.

legislation sets up a transition program to phase out the use of drift gillnets and offers incentives to those who voluntarily give up their permits.”

ASA staff added the swordfish fishery, through the use of drift gillnets, is “one of the nation’s most destructive fisheries … despite 30 years of management measures aimed at reducing

Ready to angle? Port of San Diego’s Day at the Docks returns for all-day, free fun

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

SAN DIEGO—Remember that clichéd saying “the best things in life are free?”

In Southern California, that sentiment definitely rings true with the beautiful sunny weather – but on April 14th lovers of SoCal’s coastal arena in San Diego get an extra treat when annual Day at the Docks festival comes to town. For no cost, guests can celebrate boating, angling and all-things marine-related.

According to a release by Port of San Diego, “The festival marks the official start of San Diego’s Spring Saltwater Fishing Season and there is no other event quite like San Diego’s Day at the Docks.” Situated near San Diego’s sportsfishing fleet in Point Loma, at cross streets Harbor Drive and Scott Street, the festival is a family friendly environment open to all ages. Whether or not guests have experience fishing or boating does not matter – this event is aimed towards highlighting the important role San Diego’s sportsfishing industry holds in the community.

Needless to say, anglings pros and novices alike are encouraged to join in for the fun.

Many an angler has recalled their time on the water and how it has impacted their lives, especially when it comes to the thriving fishing scene in Californian and Mexican waters.

There’s a reason prolific writers such as John Steinbeck and Ernest Hemingway have chosen to immortalize fishing in their novels. Organizers for Day at the Docks have planned a variety of exciting activities to entertain seasoned fishermen and introduce the next gen-

eration to the joys of angling.

Just a few of these activities include: • An open house featuring Sportsfishing fleet’s boats • A series of fishing and boating seminars presented “by an all-star lineup of captains and fishing experts” • More tackle displays than could be used in a lifetime, boating industry reps and community groups • Cooking and fish fillet demonstrations by local chefs • Boat rides around San Diego Bay for $3 per person • Casting and knot-tying contests and prize drawings for thousands of dollars in merchandise • Free fishing area for children • Live music, art and other shopping booths to browse, and entertainment such as a captain’s dunk tank According to the press release, “The day provides the opportunity to discover new adventures, explore the latest in fishing tackle and techniques, walk aboard and tour boats in the fleet, talk with captains and crews, take a ride on a boat and partake in many activities planned for the day.”

The 40th annual Day at the Docks offers a full day of activities officially from 9 a.m-5 p.m., but visitors can arrive early and stay later. Another perk is the free parking – something most Californians are not used to – that will be available on Shelter Island via roundtrip shuttle services from 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.

The San Diego Sportsfishing Council, who are the center of this event, is considered “the world’s largest and most modern sportsfishing fleet.”

Year-round they bring angling activities and awareness for the West Coast’s unparalleled beauty to California’s locals and guests.

Huntington Beach holds first ever harbor commission meeting The new committee, designed to give advice to City Council about harbor-related matters, provided a lesson on the Brown Act and an introduction to appointed officials.

HUNTINGTON BEACH—For the first time in history, Huntington Beach hosted a harbor commission meeting at City Hall.

Mayor Erik Peterson, along with City council member Lynn Semeta, laid the groundwork for the new Huntington Harbour Commission on May 7, 2018.

The commission finally came to life on March 28, with Peterson and Semeta attending the first meeting at City Hall, marking the first time Huntington Beach would have an official group of harbor commissioners.

Huntington Beach, including Sunset Beach and Huntington Harbour, has historically been considered a smaller coastal city, but there is no denying it has much on-water-related business.

Peterson stated, “We may think we’re a tiny beach city, but we have 200,000 people.”

Seven officials were appointed to the commission: Alfred Balitzer, Renee Hunter, William Larkin, Kimberley Milligan, John Ochs, Craig Schauppner and Michael Van Voorhis. Many of the commissioners had high hopes to improve boating safety/traffic on the waterways, perhaps one of the top complaints at Huntington Harbour.

During the meeting, William Larkin and Michael Van Voorhis threw in their names to be elected chair. Larkin was named chair with Van Voorhis in the vice chair position until June 30, when they will vote again to possibly change these positions.

Meet the Commissioners Applications submitted by the commissioners can be found online at huntingotnbeach.legistar.com by clicking the consent calendar item approving appointment of harbor commissioners. Each commissioner gave a brief introduction including their background and why they were passionate about joining the harbor commission.

Alfred Balitzer, who mentioned he had been long pushing for Huntington Beach to form a harbor commission, is a retired college professor who has served as chairman for Foundation for California, Pacific Research & Strategies and California Safe Boating Foundation.

Balitzer wrote on his application, “Above all, I am interested in good government – making government efficient while serving the needs of our residents – a subject I have taught in my classes for several decades.”

Michael “Mike” Van Voorhis, with credentials as a Merchant Mariner and Coast Guard Master Boat Captain, has

The seven appointed harbor commissioners will provide feedback to City Council about issues in Huntington Harbour such as safety on the waterways and infrastructure.

been an active boater in Huntington Harbour since 1989. Van Voorhis is a mooring owner in Catalina Island and has made more than 300 Catalina Channel crossings. He also served as a volunteer firefighter in Sunset Beach and a board member for Visit Huntington Beach.

Craig Schauppner, a Senior Operations Research Analyst for the U.S. Navy, is the most recent resident in Huntington Beach, choosing to relocate to the city with his wife about 2 years ago. Schauppner was raised by a Marine father and desired to move back into the Orange County area.

According to his application, Schauppner said, “We [him and his wife] have also observed people complain but do nothing to solve the problem. My civic interest stems from a sense of responsibility and desire to solve problems and improve the community.”

A native Canadian, Kimberley Milligan is an attorney and commodore for Huntington Harbour Yacht Club.

During her introduction, she stated her father had also worked with the tall ships in Dana Point. Milligan is a lifelong boater and Director of Southern California Yachting Association.

Renee Hunter, a retired aerospace executive, mentioned she had worked with Boeing and she was unique in that she was coming to the harbor commission from an “assets” perspective.

On her application, she stated, “Our harbor is a critical asset of our community and I’m thrilled to see a commission being formed to address its health and safety. Maintaining and improving our harbor, along with beaches and parks is essential for community, city and future.”

John Ochs, a transplant from Davenport, Iowa, moved to Huntington Beach in 1998 after deciding during a Christmas party held in Huntington Harbour in 1986 that he and his wife wanted to live in the seaside community. Ochs brings extensive Coast Guard training and experience with him to the commission.

William “Bill” Larkin, a resident of Huntington Beach since 2009, has perhaps the most experience serving specifically under a commission in the municipality. Larkin resigned from the Public Works Commission to join the

Harbor Commission. An avid boater, diver and fisherman, Larkin owns a boat slip in Newport Beach as well as Huntington Harbour. Larkin worked for Orthodyne Electronics from 1981 until 2009 when he retired.

Commissioners are volunteers and will not be compensated for their work.

Presentation on the Brown Act Chief Assistant City Attorney Mike Vigliotta began the meeting by giving a brief presentation on The Brown Act, asking members in the room to raise their hands if they had heard of the act that decreed the public’s right to participation in public meetings.

Vigliotta stated the two most important elements of the Brown Act were that no secret, or “serial,” meetings could take place and topics could only be discussed if they had been noticed publically on the meeting agenda. Secret meetings, as Vigliotta stated, would be when three or more public officials gathered together to discuss business matters privately.

According to Commissioner Van Voorhis, it appeared the commissioners had unknowingly violated the act before their first meeting even took place. Before the first meeting, commissioners had been gathering together in the conference room “brainstorming ways to make the Christmas boat parade better,” according to Van Voohis who questioned if

that would be a violation of The Brown Act. Vigliotta responded that was a violation, further explaining any business matters would need to be discussed in a public forum.

The Brown Act, which was authored

by Assemblyman Ralph M. Brown and passed in 1953, has been described as a paper tiger of a law since no criminal convictions have ever resulted from it.

Vigliotta confirmed this and further stated while lawsuits served for violating the Brown Act were fairly common in Huntington Beach and Santa Ana, where he previously practiced.

Huntington Beach does provide a training course for The Brown Act, of which all commissioners were encouraged to attend.

“Not surprisingly, the Brown Act has been a source of confusion and controversy since its inception. News media and government watchdogs often argue the law is toothless, pointing out that there has never been a single criminal conviction for a violation,”reads League of California Cities’ “Open & Public IV: A Guide to the Ralph M. Brown Act.” The Log’s Parimal M. Rohit has written on the subject of televising meetings last year. Gov. Jerry Brown overturned a bill proposing recording committee meetings. At the end of the article, there is a listing of commissions that make meetings available for the public to access besides, of course, attending them. The argument for Brown was that since official decisions are not made, it is not of the utmost importance to offer recordings. It is not clear whether Huntington Harbour Commission will offer recordings for their future meeting, but sister cities in Orange County, Dana Point and Newport Beach, do not offer recordings. While it is not a legal requirement, Rohit posed the question of whether or not the decision to make broadcasting public planning meetings optional interferes with complete transparency.

The next harbor commission meeting is scheduled for April 25.

out how to manage living on and caring for his beloved boat while securing the healthcare and other services he needed to survive.

A major challenge was navigating the long access ramp to the dock and multiple sets of boarding and interior stairs on the boat. He learned to go down the ramp backwards, especially when it’s steepest at low tide, and avoid slippery decks and docks. Initially he cursed “the crazed maniac” that designed his boat with so many stairs, “but in the end praised that same maniac as the stairs probably facilitated my recovery.”

Rather than mope on the boat alone, he learned the value of communications.

It’s important to explain to medical providers you live on a boat with accessibility issues and may need crutches or a cane to get around.

“The biggest lesson is you have to reach out to people,” and ask for help, he explained. He discovered that friends, family, and dockmates are happy to assist when they know you need help.

He bartered services with neighbors, including sitting on a neighbor’s boat awaiting a mechanic in exchange for

SAN DIEGO—Life-changing accidents can happen in the blink of an eye. That I know well: I’ve torn up both knees badly through on-board falls, requiring surgery. But I had the luxury of recovering and rehabbing my knees while living on land without worrying about dock ramps and ladders.

What happens if you live aboard and your recovery takes place in a full-time on-board environment?

Tim Golberg, my dockmate at Sunroad Resort Marina, has lived aboard for 15 years, first in the Washington, D.C. area and now in San Diego. For over five years he’s lived aboard a multi-level 50-foot Sea Ray with his partner, now husband, of 23 years, who works long hours. Golberg is a seasoned airline flight attendant, accustomed to long hours on his feet and navigating turbulent waters and flights.

He was working a short hop flight from Los Angeles to Las Vegas when the plane encountered severe turbulence.

“It never occurred to me I could be injured. It came out of the blue,” Golberg said.

“The plane went down, I went up and landed with my lower right leg facing the opposite direction.”

Unable to put much weight on his knee, he limped in pain back to his base in Phoenix and then home to his boat in San Diego.

He knew he was in trouble physically, especially Tim Golberg, a liveaboard in San Diego, chats with Capt. Nicole about dealing with injury and recovering from surgery – and what all that meant when he found himself caught in for someone who lived aboard a boat he washes and maintains all by himself. the endless limbo of the worker’s comp medical system. picking up laundry, or exchanging shoe “I was panicked.

2nd & PCH waterfront development stalled after citizens plead case for palm trees

LONG BEACH—If the titular character from Dr. Seuss’s classic children’s book “The Lorax” was not fictional, he would undoubtedly be pleased by the California Coastal Commission’s decision to speak for the trees on Marina Drive in Long Beach.

Luxury coastal developments are becoming increasingly common these days as city officials look to capitalize on one of the best assets in Southern California: proximity to the water.

Among those cities is Long Beach, where the retail shopping development near Pacific Coast Highway and 2nd Street – aptly called 2nd & PCH – is growing closer to its official opening.

Though the retail outlet, which is walking distance to the newly revamped Alamitos Bay, has been on a relatively smooth road, it was only a matter of time before a bump – or in this case

This is not the first time developers CenterCal have received backlash for their projects. Citizens of Redondo Beach famously retaliated against a waterfront development that locals referred to as “The Mall by The Sea.” The result was an enduring lawsuit between the developer and the city.

Long Beach city officials, however, are hopeful 2nd and PCH will see a new business boom in their city.

Long Beach Deputy Director of Economic Development, Sergio Ramirez, told Long Beach Business Journal, “It’s kind of like a bomb of positivity that’s just going to explode and help everything around there. It’s going to bring new business to 2nd and PCH, but as a spillover, it’s going to benefit 2nd Street.”

The Log reached out to CenterCal representatives via email, but did not hear back in time for press. In the meanwhile, The Grunion reported that no work could be done on the trees until a Local Coastal Permit (LCP) was granted.

Yacht vs. Fishing Boat: The Latest on 2018 Fatal At-Sea Collision It’s not yet known when the Coast Guard’s investigation of Attessa IV-Prowler crash will be complete.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SAN DIEGO—A mega-yacht and sport fisher boat collided in the middle of the open ocean, costing at least one person his life. Nearly six months has passed since Attessa IV and Prowler became entangled with each other near the U.S.-Mexico maritime border (west of San Diego) and we still don’t know details of what happened or who was at fault.

Santa Barbara Harbor Commission recommends marina electric sub-metering program

By Parimal M. Rohit

Department has been aware of the benefits associated with sub-meter program and installed sub-meters in Marina 4 during the mid-1980s. A second push for sub-meters came in 1998, when Marina 1 was expanded.

“Neither project was expanded to include all 1,141 slips in the harbor,” Riedman wrote in his March 21 report to commissioners.

Santa Barbara’s City Council, at the recommendation of the Harbor Commission, will now consider implementing a sub-meter program for all slip permit holders at the harbor.

SANTA BARBARA—A plan to reduce energy consumption at Santa Barbara Harbor by individually charging slip holders for electricity use is officially moving forward to the local City Council for consideration. The Santa Barbara Harbor Commission, on March 21, recommended as marina electric sub-metering program for the city’s waterfront, essentially calling for slip permit holders to help tackle the harbor’s high energy consumption.

Ventura Port Commission appoints new commissioner Jackie Gardina

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

VENTURA—Ventura Board of Port Commissioners has a new member after a space was recently vacated by Jim Friedman, who was elected to Ventura City Council in November 2018. Jackie Gardina, who was appointed by Ventura City Council on March 4, is now the newest commissioner.

Born in Davenport, Iowa, Gardina did not lay her eyes on the ocean until she was in her 20s. After she graduated with a political science degree from University of Iowa, she moved to Boston to pursue a master’s degree at Boston University. It was the Atlantic Ocean on the East Coast that led to Gardina discovering a new love.

“I just really, instantly fell in love with the ocean,” Gardina said in a press release.

Gardina earned her Juris Doctor from Boston College and then decided to pursue a life on California’s West Coast.

According to a statement released

by Ventura Port District: “In 2016, Gardina and her wife, Lauren, headed west, arriving in Ventura, which they

Coastal communities must address climate change not just for the next five years but thinking ahead, to 10, 20, 25 years from now and beyond,” Gardina said in a released statement.

In addition to her voluntary appointment to the Board of Port Commissioners, Gardina is the dean and chief academic officer of Santa Barbara and Ventura Colleges of Law. The press release added: “A philanthropist by nature, she has served on multiple professional and nonprofit boards, including with the American Bar Association, the State Bar of Jackie Gardina, dean and chief academic officer for Santa Barbara and Ventura Colleges of Law, has lived in California and Servicemembers Ventura since 2016.

The Log recently interviewed Commissioner Everard Ashworth, who provided touched on some of the goals of Ventura Board of Port Commissioners.

“With the personnel now in place, the board is ready to get down to the work of enhancing life, leisure and business at Ventura Harbor,” said Port District General Managing Oscar Peña.

Chair Chris Stephens, who is director of Ventura County Resource Management Agency, said “The Harbor District has a busy year ahead of it.”

“Among other things, we look forward to the opening of the first units at the new Portside Ventura Harbor, as well as the expanded Holiday Inn Express. We will continue our efforts to bolster the commercial fishing industry with our pursuit of the Ventura Shellfish Enterprise project, and we will be freshening up the Harbor Village to provide an improved visitor experience,” Stephens continued.

It is no secret Ventura’s Port District have been working to pose the area’s harbor as a burgeoning vacation destination, either for those enjoying a “staycation” or traveling in California.

The area is certainly a prime spot for boaters, considering its proximity to Channel Islands, which many have said is an awe-inspiring sailing voyage.

Chatter about the project, which is among several taking place in the Marina del Rey area, began in 2013 when Department of Beaches & Harbors unveiled plans.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

MARINA DEL REY—Waterfront developments are a dime a dozen these days – there is seemingly always a project in the works to improve or update infrastructure. The process of pinning down permits and negotiating can take a long time. Harbor revitalization plans in Dana Point, for instance, has been in the planning stages for more than 20 years and still appears to be a distant dream. Another slow burning development is Marina del Rey’s Fisherman’s Village, which is slated to be a part of the many planned revitalizations in that area of SoCal. Various news sources, back in 2013, were advertising a complete overhaul of Fisherman’s Village. The Argonaut, for instance, wrote: “The operators of Fisherman’s Village are contemplating a near-total rebuild of the venerable tourist attraction as Los

Angeles County officials prepare a new vision for the harbor likely to involve a larger retail footprint, transportation upgrades and more dock space for recreational boaters and kayakers.”

A Small Harbor Commission meeting held in February featured an agenda item to update commissioners and local boaters on the Fisherman’s Village project. Staff for Department of Beaches & Harbors, however, reported there were no new updates at this time. Updates do not appear to be on the agenda for the upcoming April commission meeting. The Log reached out to Nicole Mooradian, Public Information Office for the Department of Beaches & Harbors, but there was no response by press time. In the incident any further information becomes available, it will be updated online.

Marina del Rey has had some controversial projects lately, including the Wayfarer Marina project, which has caused some confusion among boaters in particular. Another project planned is the redevelopment for Pier 44, where allegedly a “dock-and-shop” Trader’s Joe will, at some point, be a reality. The Trader Joe’s project was on the table for several years before it was confirmed by a spokesperson in December 2018 that the store is planning to open;

When will Fisherman’s Village in Marina del Rey see a revitalization?

Described by some as a “complete overhaul,” descriptions of the new Fisherman’s Village include expanded docks for recreational boaters and more retail spaces.

Trader Joe’s was scheduled to open on Fri., April 12, but has been delayed until later in the month. Most locals, however, have had mostly positive responses to the specialty grocery store setting up shop in Marina del Rey. Will the public have the same

Colorado student sailors train with homemade boats on Dana Point’s Baby Beach

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

DANA POINT—As a hobby, boating is one thing. On the other hand, it takes an immense amount of skill, time and teamwork to train for a sailing event, never mind that race requires its participants to build a homemade vessel to complete the race. A group of teachers, parents and high school students from Bailey, Colorado, however, arranged to test the three canoe-like vessels they built together to enter into the Seventy48 Race on the shores of Dana Point during the week of March 28 until April 3.

Two teachers, Steve Hanford and Kip Otteson, offered their guidance to the students in an effort to pose a solution to the lack of wood shop courses and also head to the West Coast for a sailing endeavor.

Otteson joked, “We originally wanted to enter Race to Alaska, but we thought our wives wouldn’t be too happy for us to be gone for too long.

Instead, we decided to get the kids involved!”

Otteson added the boat building project was an answer to wood shop class, which he acknowledged was largely leaving school programs.

Platte Canyon High School, located

in the mountains just southwest of Denver, Colorado in Bailey, created its own “Yacht Club” of sorts. The school’s efforts caught fire locally and in other places across the nation after it started a GoFundMe page.

One student named Eleigha, a junior at Platte Canyon High School, shared with The Log why this project with her teammates has been such a life-changing Students, teachers and parents traveled from Bailey, Colorado to train for experience. the coming Seventy48 race in Tacoma, Washington. Their boats, built to “Building the be assembled in pieces, were transported in a trailer. boats has been a good bonding experience.

Platte Canyon “Yacht Club” teens prepare for Seventy48 race in Tacoma, Washington; the program solves two dilemmas – wood shop elective elimination and youth sailing participation.

Lisa, a senior, knew she wanted to be a part of the building process.

“I just enjoy building stuff,” she said.

Quite a few locals in Dana Point were curious and impressed by the activities taking place on Baby Beach.

Sylvia Gildea, one of the original women’s outriggers in Dana Point, was on the beach. Students and Ottesen acknowledged the Outrigger’s Club had been especially hospitable and had taught the team some various rowing techniques.

Otteson said, “We average about 3.5 [nautical miles per hour], but the Outriggers were teaching the kids certain techniques that got them up to about 6 miles per hour.”

When asked about the challenges ahead for the race, Otteson was optimistic the team would place well, citing the fact they may have an edge on some paddleboarders that enter.

A Go Fund Me page, created by Otteson, has helped the students raise money for their entry. As of April 1, the students had raised $8,970 of their $15,000 goal. The page can be found at gofundme.com/ pchs-yacht-club-to-seventy48.

Seventy48, also known as 70 miles in 48 hours, begins on May 31 in Tacoma. All vessels eligible for entry must be human-powered only, which means pedal, paddle or row, no motors, support or wind. There is also another unusual element to this race – it begins at 7 p.m. Participants have 30 minutes to cross the start line.

Newport Beach considers altering municipal harbor codes to account for legal sea lion interactions.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

NEWPORT BEACH—There’s nothing cuter than the friendly marina sea lion – at least that’s how it might appear from an outsider’s perspective. Sadly, cohabitating with sea lions has become one of the more difficult epidemics on California’s coastline. The Log has written on this subject fairly extensively, but it looks like Newport Beach (who in the past has grappled very publically with the sea lion problem) is aiming to do what they can to solve a difficult matter.

At a Newport Beach Harbor Commission meeting that took place on March 13, the commissioners hosted a panel of experts to learn more about sea lions. One of the most prob-

lematic issues – in Newport Beach and elsewhere – has been how to deter the species without causing them harm.

Commissioners are contemplating adding provisions into the municipal harbor code about interactions with the pinnipeds.

An unnamed source at Dana Point has said there has been difficulty with wrangling the sea lions as well – but not just because of boaters. Tourists often times find the animals cute and like to feed them in the harbor.

Feeding sea lions, just like killing them, is prohibited under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

There are approximately 300,000 sea lions who call California home currently. Sea lions were listed as protected species where their numbers began dwindling in the past.

Justin Viezbicke, one of NOAA’s marine mammal stranding coordinators in California, stated that while one of the most obvious solutions would be

“taking” the animals, meaning killing them, harming them or otherwise disturbing them, is the obvious solution since this would bring numbers down. However, he further stated, that would not be a “viable solution.”

Catalina Connection Catalina’s Airport in the Sky may reopen for public use as soon as May

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

CATALINA ISLAND—More often than not working together can yield great results – this is certainly true for Catalina Island Conservancy’s collaboration with the United States Marine Corps in undertaking the repair of the famed Airport in the Sky’s runway.

The project, which began in January 2019, is nearing completion with representatives from Catalina Island Conservancy saying the runway could be re-opened for public use again as early as May. “Over the course of the project, nearly 200 Marines worked to repair the runway at the newly-named ACE Clearwater Airfield,” says Jessica Boudevin, Communications Manager for Catalina Island Conservancy, in an

email to The Log. Boudevin continued: “Paving 3,000 feet of runway with 130 concrete slabs was a monumental task – especially with the continuing rainy season. The Marines and Seabees landed in early January and worked tirelessly, amid all weather conditions, completing the final concrete slab pour on March 22. There is still much to be done before the airport reopens for public use. The concrete needs to cure to reach its full strength potential and the airfield will be striped and certified

by CALTRANS as a public use airport.

Airport in the Sky will reopen for general use in early May.” The repairs to the airport could not be timelier – Catalina Island is currently celebrating the centennial of Phillip K. Wrigley’s purchase of Catalina Island Company. Airport in the Sky opened on June 27, 1946, and was originally going to be built on Hamilton Beach. Wrigley stored his DC-3 plane in the Airport’s hangar when he visited the island.

NEWPORT BEACH—Sailors of the Farr 40 class will now be able to support blood cancer research and patient services, as Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club and the Orange County Inland Empire Chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma

Society (LLS) announced the Leukemia Cup would add the large one-design sailboat to the regatta.

The Farr 40 addition will be part of the 2019 Hot Ticket Leukemia Cup, which helps raise money for life-saving cancer research. More than $3 million has been raised for leukemia research, according to a statement released by Bahia Corinthian YC. This year marks the 17th consecutive time Bahia Corinthian YC is hosting the Leukemia Cup at its Corona del Mar venue. Hot Ticket Racing is the sponsor of this year’s event.

Racing will take place over a series

of events in June and August, beginning with the Junior Sailing Regatta (Harbor 20 Fleet) on June 2. Farr 40s will compete during a weekend regatta at Bahia Corinthian YC, Aug. 9-11; the PHRF fleet will hit the water on Aug. 11.

“With more than one million people in North American diagnosed with a blood cancer, The Leukemia Cup Regatta is an important fundraising event that gives participants an opportunity to do something enjoyable while making a critical difference in the lives of patients and their families,” Deborah Levy, LLS’s executive director, said in a released statement.

The same statement added the Leukemia Cup is a “thrilling series of sailing events [combining] the joy of boating with the important goal of raising money to fight leukemia, lymphoma and other blood cancers.”

All sailors participating in the regatta series are eligible to win prizes and compete at Fantasy Sail, held Dec. 6-8 at Pink Shell Resort and Offshore Sailing School in Fort Myers, Florida.

Fantasy Sail is open to anyone who raises $15,000 or more by Nov. 1, through the Leukemia Cup.

Southern California fishing news

Mono and Inyo counties prepare for an influx of freshwater anglers as “Fishmas” arrives yet again.

By Parimal M. Rohit

EASTERN SIERRA MOUNTAINS—It’s that time of year again, when anglers across California prepare for a peaceful day on the lake and have their respective lines ready for some trout.

The Eastern Sierra trout opener arrives on April 27, perhaps the most anticipated day for freshwater anglers in California. The arrival of “Fishmas” means many inland, freshwater lakes will be open for business and ready to host anyone and everyone who wants to catch some trout.

This year will be interesting as weather might dictate how many lakes in Mono and Inyo counties – where the Eastern Sierra trout opener takes place – will actually be open. Rain and snow persisted all winter, meaning some roads, and even lakes, might still be closed until Memorial Day or later.

The top fishing spots in the Eastern Sierras are as follows: • Topaz Lake, off U.S. 395: brown trout, rainbow trout and smallmouth bass • West Walker River, parallels U.S. 395 near Walker and Coleville: brown trout, rainbow trout • Little Walker River, west of Sonora Pass Highway 108: brown trout, rainbow trout • Bridgeport Reservoir, Highway 182, north of Bridgeport: brown trout, rainbow trout, Sacramento perch • East Walker River: brown trout, rainbow trout • Twin Lakes, Highway 420, on Twin

First hearing set for fishing license reform proposal Assembly Committee on Water, Parks and Wildlife to take first crack at AB 1387 on April 9.

By Parimal M. Rohit SACRAMENTO—The latest attempt to convert California’s antiquated calendar-based fishing license scheme to an annual system will undergo its first test, as Assembly Bill 1387 (AB 1387) is set for its first committee hearing.

AB 1387, which was proposed by Assembly member Jim Wood, D-Santa Rosa, proposes to establish a 365day fishing license. The Assembly Committee on Water, Parks and Wildlife will hear the proposal on April 9.

Wood’s bill is the latest in a series of efforts to reform California’s fishing licensing system. All fishing licenses in California expire on Dec. 31 of the year they are purchased, regardless of purchase date. Previous efforts to shift the fishing license regime from a calendar scheme to 365-day system had failed.

State Sen. Tom Berryhill had championed fishing license reform efforts before he was termed out of the state legislature earlier this year.

Marko Mlikotin, the executive director of California Sportfishing League, stated there is a direct connection to fishing participation and licensing schemes.

“California’s costly and antiquated fishing license program is a major contributor to an alarming decline in California’s fishing participation rate,” Mlikotin said. “Assemblymember

Wood’s legislation offers a real solution that will increase fishing participation rates and license sales that fund state fishing and conservation programs.”

AB 1387 has received the support or endorsement of several organizations, such as Abu-Garcia Fishing, American Sportfishing Association, California Association of Harbor Masters and Port Captains, California Association for Recreational Fishing, California Sportfishing League, California Yacht Brokers Association, Coastal Conservation Association of California, Marine Recreation Association, National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and PENN Fishing.

Wood’s proposal would implement a 365-day fishing license in California at no additional cost, create an application to display purchased licenses on mobile devices and give anglers an opportunity to sign up for automatic renewals.

The 365-day fishing license, if approved, would go into effect Jan. 1, 2021.

A California Sportfishing League statement on the upcoming committee hearing stated California offers the second most expensive fishing licenses in the country, trailing only Washington State.

“Since 1986, the price of California’s resident annual fishing license has increased 216 percent, which is 41 percent greater than the rate of inflation.

Today, the license costs 110 percent [higher than] the national average,” the California Sportfishing League stated.

SANTA BARBARA—This angler caught one of the six lingcods reeled in over the rails of Stardust Sportfishing’s March 24 fishing expedition. The 39 anglers aboard fished in shallow waters near Santa Rosa Island and caught 338 whitefish, 166 rockfish, six lingcod, one Cabezon, one scullion and one sheephead.

“We had good weather all day,” Stardust’s captain wrote in a Facebook post shortly after the fishing trip. “We primarily fished shallow all day.

The morning was tough and had very difficult conditions, but as soon as it switched around we were able to have great steady fishing.

The quality of fish today overall was really good, there were some smaller whitefish and rockfish but mostly really good grade.”

San Diego Report

Yellowtail fishing continues to improve SAN DIEGO—The long awaited arrival of spring has brought Southern California saltwater anglers improved weather and improved surface fishing, with yellowtail biting in a few different areas around Los Coronado Islands and along the San Diego County coast. There has also been a chance at scratching out a yellowtail or white sea bass at Catalina Island.

Los Coronado Islands have been the best for yellowtail and the current productive areas are the weather side of North Island, the hard bottom to the north and the northeast of North Island and the Middle Grounds. The fish counts from boats fishing on full-day trips on March 31 starts with Mission Belle out of Point Loma Sportfishing.

The 27 anglers aboard caught 71 yellowtails and 50 rockfish. Seaforth Sportfishing had San Diego fishing with 30 anglers who caught two yellowtails, six bonito, one halibut and 150 rockfish. H&M Landing had Grande fishing with 16 anglers who caught 11 yellowtails, five bonito and 50 rockfish.

Fisherman’s Landing had Liberty fishing with 37 anglers who caught 59 yellowtails and 11 bonito.

The yellowtail action around Los Coronado Islands has been found in a few different areas. One productive yellowtail zone has been fishing up and down the weather side of North Island. Another

San Diego’s offshore anglers are starting to catch bites of yellowtail, among other fish.

productive yellowtail zone has been the hard bottom into the north and northeast of North Island. The third productive yellowtail zone has been at the Middle Grounds. Most of the yellowtails biting in recent days have been in the 10- to 20-pound range.

The yellowtail around Los Coronado Islands have been located by finding meter marks, sonar marks and spots of fish that are up on the surface under working birds. Once located, yellowtails have been biting on yo-yoed iron, surface iron, sardines fished on a dropper loop rig and flylined sardines.

Productive yo-yo jig choices include Salas 6X, Salas 7X and Tady 4/0 sized jigs in blue and white, scrambled egg and sardine

colors. For surface iron, productive choices include Tady 45’s and Salas 7X light jigs in blue and white, sardine and mint colors.

In addition to the fishing for yellowtail and bonito around Los Coronado Islands, there has also been good fishing for rockfish. One of the best zones for rockfish has been at hard bottom areas to the north and northwest of North Island in 40 to 65 fathoms of water. Another productive rockfish zone has been while fishing the South Kelp Ridge below South Island in 25 to 40 fathoms of water.

Anglers fishing along the San Diego County coast are also experiencing improving yellowtail bites. The best zone for a chance at a coastal yellowtail has been while fishing outside of the upper end of La Jolla. Additional areas where there has been yellowtail activity reported have been the Green Tank at Point Loma, the zone below the MLPA closure zone off the lower end of La Jolla, the area between Del Mar and South Carlsbad and outside of Oceanside.

Most of the coastal yellowtail activity has been coming from stopping on meter marks, sonar marks or spots of working birds. There is a lot of bait reported up and down the coast and yellowtails are often located around the spots of bait. Once located, there has been some action to be had while using surface iron or yo-yo iron.

There was also a recent report of a yellowtail being caught on a Hookup Bait plastic while fishing off La Jolla. Sardines and mackerel have also been productive for yellowtail when slow trolled, flylined or fished with a dropper loop rig.

On March 31, I had a chance to talk with Capt. R.J. Hudson of the New Seaforth out of

Seaforth Sportfishing while at the Fred Hall Show in Del Mar. Hudson said they started to see an increase in yellowtail activity in the La Jolla region about one week prior to our conversation. He said water conditions are looking good and there is mostly nice looking, clean water to be found up and down much of the San Diego County coast.

In addition to a chance at a yellowtail, the coastal fishing has also been providing an occasional white sea bass or halibut along with good numbers of bass, sculpin, reds, whitefish and rockfish.

Productive rockfish areas off the San Diego County coast include the International Reef, the Imperial Beach Pipeline, hard bottom areas in the region of the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma, the Point Loma Pipeline, the Green Tank, The 270 to the west of Mission Bay, the upper end of La Jolla, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Leucadia, South Carlsbad and Box Canyon.

Capt. Joe Cacciola of Sea Star with Sea Star Sportfishing and the Oceanside Sea Center reported catches of reds have been the highlight, with red vermillion rockfish to 4+ pounds biting. He added there is an abundance of bait holding off the Oceanside coast.

Hard bottom and structure areas have been best for the bass and sculpin with some of the most productive areas being the Imperial Beach Pipeline, the hard bottom to the north and northwest of Buoy #3 at Point Loma, the Point Loma Pipeline, the Green Tank, the Jetty Kelp outside of Mission Bay, the Variety Kelp area below the MLPA closure area at the lower end of La Jolla, the upper end of La Jolla, Del Mar, See SAN DIEGO REPORT page 31

the Anderson and Buccaneer Pipelines, the artificial reefs outside of Oceanside and Box Canyon.

Some of the most productive halibut areas include the sandy bottom near the Aliso Pipeline off South Laguna Beach, Box Canyon, the area outside of the Oceanside Pier, the sandy bottom off South Ponto Beach, the sandy bottom next to the struc-

ture of the sunken NEL Tower, the sandy bottom next to the structure of the Yukon Shipwreck, San Diego Bay and while fishing sandy bottom areas outside of the Imperial Beach Pier.

There has been a very occasional white sea bass found biting in the La Jolla region with reports of some white sea bass activity being found off the upper end of La Jolla and below the MLPA closure zone below the lower end of La Jolla. Another zone

where there has been a bit of white sea bass activity has been off the Green Tank at Point Loma. Look for a chance at scratching out a few squid for bait at night in these areas but overall, the bait fishing for squid remains slow.

Up at Catalina, there has been some squid to be caught for bait at night off the V’s and outside of Ben Weston with the Ben Weston area tending to be the best. Catalina has been producing an occasional white sea

UC-Santa Barbara study to track movement of giant sea bass Computer technology and photographs are being used to monitor navigation of the endangered species.

By Parimal M. Rohit VENTURA—Two university researchers are tracking the navigations of giant sea bass off the California coast, according to Channel Islands National Park staff.

A statement issued by the local national park said Ana Sofia Guerra and Francis Joyce, who are both affiliated with UC-Santa Barbara in Goleta, California, would rely on computer imaging technology and photographs captured by recreational divers to track the movements of giant sea bass. The UCSB study is the first of its kinds.

The research project will include a lec-

ture, to be held at 7 p.m. on April 11, inside the Robert J. Lagomarsino Visitor Center at Channel Islands National Park. The lecture is sponsored by Channel Islands National Park and is part of the From Shore to Sea series.

“Giant sea bass are understudied, despite being the largest bony fish found along the California coast. They can grow [to more than] 700 pounds and seven feet in length, and can live up to 70 years,” Channel Islands National Park said in a statement.“Their extraordinary size and curious nature have attracted the attention of photographers for decades, a source of information Guerra and Joyce are tapping into to learn more about their ecology.”

Giant sea bass are an apex predator and are known to play a critical role in Southern California’s local marine ecosystems.

“However, giant sea bass populations

remain critically low due to overfishing in decades past and are listed as a critically endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature,” the Channel Islands National Park statement said.

Guerra is working toward her PhD at UCSB; her studies include the behavior and ecology of animal aggressions, fish schools on coral reefs and western gull nesting at Channel Islands.

Joyce, meanwhile, is a researcher at UCSB’s Benioff Ocean Instiative; her focuses on marine conservation topics, from threatened species in the Santa Barbara Channel to global analyses of industrial fishing activity.

The Channel Islands National Park Robert J. Lagomarsino Visitor Center is at 1901 Spinnaker Drive in Ventura Harbor.

The program is free and open to the public.

bass or yellowtail but it has been scratchy fishing. Areas where occasional white sea bass or yellowtail activity has been reported just outside of the V’s, Salta Verde and the area between Ribbon Rock and West End. A prolonged stretch of good weather might help a lot in bringing more consistent white sea bass or yellowtail action.

The spring fishing season is underway and the yellowtail bite is on the upswing with good mixed bag fishing for bass, sculpin, rockfish, whitefish and reds also in the early spring fishing picture. Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!

Bob Vanian is the voice, writer and researcher of the San Diego-based internet fish report service called 976-Bite which can be found at www.976bite.com. Vanian also provides anglers with a personal fish report service over the telephone at 619-226-8218. He always welcomes your fish reports at that same phone number or at bob976bite@aol.com.
