City staff discusses options to replenish Oceanside’s dwindling shores after U.S. Army Corps of Engineers canceled harbor dredging in May 2018. By Devon Warren OCEANSIDE — Dredging, or removing built-up sediment and debris from water bodies, is usually a fairly routine practice around the country. California, with its many coastlines, recreational lakes and other water flow, is high on the list for dredging practices. Oceanside, on the other hand, is facing difficulty initiating dredging and is facing erosion and sand-loss at local beaches. The most recent attempt to dredge Oceanside Harbor has been delayed. Kiel Koger, Oceanside’s public works division manager, had been quoted in a San Diego Union Tribune article as placing the blame on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for not applying for the permit to dredge in time. The Corps, in response, stated too much material had been removed during the previous dredging session. As a result of the decision to postpone dredging activities, Oceanside officials, local beachgoers and businesses are frustrated with the seeming lack
of momentum from the federal agency. In a memorandum released by the Public Works Department, dated July 24, the blame was placed squarely on the Corps’ failure to secure a permit. The memorandum read: “This project was cancelled in May due to the failure of the Corps to secure a permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB).” The paper continued, “Staff previously solicited Congressman [Darrell] Issa’s office assistance to help expedite the permit even though it was the Corps responsibility to do so Oceanside’s harbor department officials plan to meet with the Corps on Aug. 28 to discuss dredging options. but was unsuccessful. The Corps issues a letter to Mayor [Peter] Weiss on May 18, 2018 explaining the reason for the cancellation as $600,000 for additional dredging. local bodies of water and restore sand well as stating that the Corps would be In the Shoreline Feasibility Study, to Oceanside beaches. performing multiple depth surveys of it was stated funding for the study “is Oceanside Harbor Manager Ted the channel in the upcoming months. supposed to be funded 100 percent Schiafone told The Log in an email The Corps along with city staff conby the Federal Government,” but the nothing new concerning the matter of tinue to monitor the channel depths Corps “changed their position and dredging has come up since the canceland will determine if dredging needs to told city staff that feasibility studies lation announcement.

INDONESIA — Boat charter operators in San Diego could only imagine borrowing this controversial practice from Indonesia to deter their illegal counterparts. In an article released by Scientific American, it was revealed that in Indonesia a task force has taken on illegal fishing boats in an explosive way – by actually blowing up them up. The article reads, “To address the problem, Indonesia created a task force consisting of the country’s navy, marine police, coast guard and attorney general’s office. Task force members started out by aggressively capturing illegal foreign boats and deporting their crews. Then, to drive the point home, they cut, torched or dyna-
mited holes in bottoms of the boats – sending hundreds of vessels to the seafloor to join the fishes they had sought.” Surprisingly – or perhaps not so surprisingly considering the measures taken – it No boat, no problem?

said the village has been getting its food flown in ever since, which is much more expensive. Erosion also threatens the community’s school and fuel depot, so Napakiak turned to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for help. The funding will help the community design and build a new landing for hovercraft, barges, and residents’ boats. Andrew says Napakiak will need more support over the next year.
Invasive zebra mussel infestation closes Omaha lake OMAHA, Nebraska (AP) — State parks officials have confirmed an infestation of invasive zebra mussels at Glenn Cunningham Lake in north Omaha and have announced the lake’s closure. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission confirmed the discovery of adult zebra mussels at the lake two weeks ago. To prevent the spread of the mussels to other local water bodies, the lake will be closed beginning Friday to all watercraft for the remainder of the 2018 season. Omaha’s parks and Recreation department says the decision to close the lake “has been a group effort” with the state commission, city of Omaha, the Nebraska Invasive Species Program and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Officials again urged boat owners to slow the spread of the mussels by cleaning, draining and drying boats after each use.
Coast Guard halts vessel in Florida as illegal charter MIAMI (AP) — The Coast Guard halted the voyage of the 48-foot pleasure craft with 18 people aboard in the Miami River after discovering several safety violations. A Coast Guard news release said the vessel Blessed had more paying passengers aboard than it was certified to carry. The boat also did not have a valid certificate of inspection and did not have a credentialed mariner in control. Authorities said passengers that participate in an illegal charter boat are breaking the law and can be taking personal risks. Some deaths have resulted from similar charters. The owner and operator of Blessed faces maximum civil penalties of more than $41,000 for an illegal passenger-for-hire operation.
STATE Rising temperatures responsible for California’s increasing fires, scientific data finds As temperatures rise in the U.S. West, so do the flames. The years with the most acres burned by wildfires have some of the hottest temperatures, an Associated Press analysis of fire and weather data found. As humancaused climate change has warmed the world during the past 35 years, the land consumed by flames has more than doubled. Experts said the way global warming worsens wildfires comes down to the basic dynamics of fire. Fires need ignition, oxygen and fuel. And what’s really

changed is fuel – the trees, brush and other plants that go up in flames. “Hotter drier weather means our fuels are drier so it’s easier for fires to start and spread and burn more intensely,” said University of Alberta fire scientist Mike Flannigan. It’s simple, he said: “The warmer it is, the more fire we see.” The western summer so far is more than 3 degrees Fahrenheit (1.7 degrees Celsius) warmer than the 20th century average. California in July logged its hottest month in 124 years of record-keeping. The five years with the most acres burned since 1983 averaged 63.4 degrees from April to September. That’s 1.2 degrees warmer than average and 2.4 degrees hotter than the years with the least acres burned, AP’s data analysis shows. In California, the five years with the most acres burned (not including this year) average 2.1 degrees warmer than the five years with the least acres burned. A degree or two may seem like not much, but for fuel it is crucial. The hotter it is, the more water evaporates from plants. When fuel dries faster, fires spread more and burn more intensely, experts said. For every 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit that the air warms, it needs 15 percent more rain to make up for the drying of the fuel, Flannigan said. Fuel moisture levels in California and Oregon are flirting with record dry levels, NOAA western regional climate center director Tim Brown said. The number of U.S. wildfires hasn’t changed much during the last few decades, but the area consumed has soared. Some people who reject mainstream climate science point to statistics that seem to show far more acres burned in the 1930s and 1940s. But the fire center’s Eardley said statistics before 1983 are not reliable because fires “may be double counted, tripled counted or more.” Nationally, more than 8,900 square miles (23,050 kilometers) have burned this year, about 28 percent more than the 10-year average as of mid-August. California is having one of its worst years. Scientists generally avoid blaming global warming for specific extreme events without extensive analysis, but scientists have done those extensive examinations on wildfire.

Re: Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp to remain closed through August (Jul. 27-Aug. 9 issue)
Spinning out a travesty Spin from the SDUPD. In 2011, China built a 30 story hotel in 15 days, but the Port of San Diego can’t rebuild a launch ramp in a year and a half (at least)! Check out the list of alternate launch ramps – Oceanside??? Five in Mission Bay?? How do these help the upper San Diego Bay boaters and merchants? The three available San Diego Bay facilities are all in South Bay…unless you are in the military, or are throwing a kayak or SUP into the Bay. The total lack of culpability or accountability is what makes this drawn-out debacle so maddening. Always spin or excuses, never any responsibility. How long does anyone think that this project would have taken, had it been a private business tasked with upgrading their facilities and keeping their customers happy, all the while keeping a sharp eye on costs? Three months? Six months? Here we are 14 months out from the awarding of the contract and we STILL don’t have a completion date!
Hang in there fuel docks, bait and tackle shops, delis, boatyards, service providers, chandleries….. the Port is going to bring your lost business back any day…er, week….er, month…..er, year now! What a travesty. Dean West

Tariffs and Boaters: What Does It Mean For You? Industry leaders plead with White House to re-consider duties. When will costs trickle down to consumer? By Parimal M. Rohit
NATIONWIDE — Everything has a cost – including tariffs. The only question is not whether, but when, Pres. Donald J. Trump’s imposition of tariffs on multiple countries and industries would eventually trickle down and harm the consumer. Will the cost of buying a boat, for example, substantially rise because of the tariffs placed on aluminum and steel tariffs? A lot of the chatter and questioning surrounding the imposition of tariffs focus on the direct effects of Trump’s policies on industry-level activities, such as jobs and product exports. Such concerns, of course, are eventually bourn on to the consumer – in the form of an increased sticker. The issue of tariffs and boat manufacturers won’t simply be an industry issue – companies will eventually adjust and pass along costs to the consumer. We don’t have any clarity yet as to when consumers would feel the pinch of the tariffs or what the beefed-up price tags would look like, but what should you, as a boater, do to keep up
with the Trump administration’s trade war and its potential effects on the consumer market? Keeping your pulse on what industry leaders are saying is a good place to start. Bill Yeargin, CEO of Correct Craft, penned an op-ed in the Aug. 11 issue of Washington Examiner. He expressed concern of what the current trade war would mean to the recreational boating industry. Correct Craft, a boat manufacturer based in Orlando with manufacturing plants at six other U.S. locations, has been monitoring the imposition of international tariffs since the onset of the trade war. The company, according to Yeargin, imports certain materials for the boats it builds. “These hard-and-fast tariffs are unfairly punishing manufacturers like Correct Craft, where we exclusively use U.S. aluminum, even though more than 90 percent of aluminum used in the U.S. by American boat makers is sourced from domestic mills,” Yeargin wrote. “This is because the administration’s tariffs have distorted the global market, driving up the price of domestic aluminum by 20 to 30 percent. This is bad news for our company, our workers, and our industry.” Yeargin added the tariffs on products used to build fishing and pontoon boats, among others, means manufacturers will have a harder time See STANDING WATCH page 8

The Farming Legend of Port Hueneme? By Parimal M. Rohit PORT HUENEME — Southern California’s coast has a long and rich maritime history, some of which includes the cities of Los Angeles, Newport Beach and San Diego serving as an entry point for goods and services during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Two of those ports – Los Angeles and San Diego – grew to become vital cogs in the U.S. economy. A third – often less advertised – port where goods and services enter the United States from the Pacific Rim is the Port of Port Hueneme (pronounced Y-nee-mee). Port Hueneme currently serves as a commercial harbor. There are no recreational boating venues at Port Hueneme, which distinguishes it from harbors in Los Angeles and San Diego but mimics the Port of Long Beach. The port on the southwestern edge of Ventura County is actually one of Southern California’s oldest maritime venues. Thomas Bard, who served Pres. Abraham Lincoln as Assistant Secretary of
War during the Civil War, moved to California in 1865 and, before the end of the decade, discovered a natural submarine canyon along the Port Hueneme coast. The canyon apparently measured about 1,000 feet deep and existed within 300 feet of a proposed harbor. Bard quickly took advantage of his discovery, building a long wharf along the canyon in 1871. The wharf was both a primary source of transportation in the southern half of Ventura County through 1898 and, between 1871 and 1895, the Pacific coast’s second largest grain shipping port. But, most importantly, the concept of building a port (and the serendipitous discovery of a deepwater canyon) spawned from local farmers seeking alternate forms of transportation to deliver their goods to Los Angeles. The wharf area eventually became the Port of Port Hueneme. Sources: BardMansion.org, PortHueneme.org

Newport Beach takes action to deter bridge jumpers City lifeguards stopped more than 200 jumpers in a span of two weeks after Costa Mesa man caused $10,000 worth of damage, harmed woman in prank. By Devon Warren
NEWPORT BEACH — There is no doubt self-made stunt videos have been on the rise over the last 20 years or so. Some of us watched the shenanigans of popular (and often times ill-advised) stunts of “Jackass” stars like Steve-O and Johnny Knoxville. The advent of YouTube in 2005, meanwhile, created a new platform for people to show off. Video streaming services can be much privy to positive information, but one YouTube-posted video in particular led to capturing the assailant of a criminal prank. The criminal prank was one of many occurrences in Newport Beach, where “bridge jumpers” have targeted local bridges, such as Lido Bridge, over the years. One such jumper, a 27-yearold man from Costa Mesa, recently ended his burgeoning stunt-doing career early after he jumped off a bridge onto a Duffy rental boat, injuring a 66-year-old woman and doing upwards of $10,000 of damage to the boat. How was the jumper caught? It turns out the event was recorded and uploaded to the jumper’s YouTube account through, which the Orange County Sheriff Department (OCSD) later viewed to narrow down the suspect. The jumper’s actions – and the phenomenon of bridge jumping as a whole – was an agenda item at the Aug. 8 Newport Beach Harbor Commission meeting. Several news media outlets have since covered the issue.
Some actions have been implemented to deter bridge jumpers, such as posting additional signage to remind visitors jumping bridges is enforced and increasing lifeguard presence at locations that have been known jumping destinations. Newport Beach city law decrees bridge jumping is illegal and taken seriously as it can be dangerous. City staff reported 231 jumping incidents had been intervened in a span of two weeks from the end of July to beginning of August. An update of the event was posted on OCSD Harbor Patrol’s official Facebook page at 3:45 PM on August 3: “It was just a matter of time. You can jump, but you can’t hide!! Here is the press release from our PIO about the arrest of the suspect who jumped off the Lido Bridge and injured a passenger on a small boat.” The Orange County Sheriff’s Department on Friday, Aug. 3, arrested the 27-year-old-man suspected of jumping off Newport Beach’s Lido Bridge and landing on a passing vessel, injuring a 66-year-old woman. OCSD Harbor Patrol responded to the incident at approximately 2:10 p.m. on July 24. A video capturing the incident was posted to YouTube July 25. The case was assigned to OCSD investigators July 31, and their diligent work led to Friday’s arrest. Costa Mesa resident Cody Green was taken into custody outside his home at approximately 12:15 p.m. He was booked in the Orange County Jail on suspicion of assault and felony vandalism.” The Log reached out to the OCSD for further comment but it was not available at the time of press. At the time of the Harbor Commission meeting, it was thought the Costa Mesa jumper was still in custody and had not yet been released on bail. Boaters in the area are advised to be cautious of jumpers.

selling boats to foreign buyers. “These three tariffs – 25 percent on Chinese marine products, 210 percent on Chinese aluminum sheet, and 10 and 25 percent on all aluminum and steel – have driven up costs across the board for our whole industry,” Yeargin wrote in his op-ed. “Canada, Mexico, and the European Union – which account for 69 percent of total recreational boating exports and the majority of Correct Craft’s foreign sales – have implemented retaliatory tariffs of 10 percent, 15 percent and 25 percent respectively,” the Correct Craft CEO continued. “These new tariffs are going to make it more difficult to sell boats around the world – and this puts the industry’s $1.8 billion in recreational boat and engine exports and the jobs of Americans in jeopardy.” The current trade war wasn’t all doom and gloom to the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), which, in an Aug. 9 news update, stated the tariffs are both good and bad. NMMA commended Trump for “cracking down on China’s unfair trade practices” but did not agree with the administration’s tactics to achieve equitable results. “While NMMA continues to caution against further escalating the trade conflict, some recent actions are encouraging,” the NMMA news update stated. “The Trump administration announced their final list of $16 billion in Chinese products that will face a 25 percent

tariff starting Aug. 23. The list contains a range of marine related products. However, floating docks were among the items excluded, drawing applause from the industry. “China announced new tariffs on approximately $60 billion worth of U.S. exports,” the Aug. 9 news update stated. “The move was a result of the Trump administration’s proposed increase of Section 301 tariff from 10 to 25 percent on $200 billion in Chinese goods. For the first time boats were included on China’s retaliation list – with tariffs ranging from 10 to 25 percent – which brings the total number of countries that have retaliated against U.S. boats to four.” NMMA used its grass roots advocacy website, Boating United, to ramp up its campaign against tariffs. “The escalating trade conflict is threatening the recreational boat industry, and there is no end in sight,” the take action page stated. “Costs are rising, boat orders are being canceled, and uncertainty is wreaking havoc across the country.” The Boating United action page also urged boaters and maritime industry professionals to write, tweet or call the White House, Commerce Sec. Wilbur Ross and other federal representatives about ending the trade war. “The recreational boating industry, which employs 650,000 Americans and contributes $39 billion to the economy, is caught in the crosshairs of the trade war. Please protect American jobs and end the tariffs,” a suggested tweet stated. Those wishing to send federal leaders an email had a little more ammunition listed in their suggested letter. “Our industry is American-made – 95 percent of all boats sold in the U.S. are made in the U.S. – and supports [more than] 650,000 jobs nationwide. But recent actions on trade by the [Trump] administration are uniquely threatening our industry,” the suggested letter/email

What Happened: With a packed agenda concerning large vessel permits, surveying the public for a unified harbor vision and the infamous bridge jumpers, Newport Beach Harbor Commission voted to postpone a discussion on mooring policies. One of the larger issues at the harbor, mooring policies was also itemized for the meeting on Aug. 8. According to a staff report posted online, a few of the talking points were slated to be “revoked moorings that revert to the city, requests for extensions, appropriate mooring sizes and sand-line moorings.”

Long Beach, L.A. Maritime Institute partner to operate American Pride What’s Happened: The Long Beach City Council, at its Aug. 7 meeting, approved a request to transfer ownership of American Pride, a tall ship, to Los Angeles Maritime Institute (LAMI) for youth educational purposes. American Pride, a 130-foot three-mast schooner, was designated at Long Beach’s official tall ship in 2008. The vessel oper-
ated out of Long Beach’s Rainbow Harbor between 1998 and 2016. American Heritage Marine Institute owned the tall ship during that period, offering American Pride as a vessel for various educational opportunities. Youth often boarded the tall ship to learn about living history, marine biology and watershed programs. American Heritage Marine Institute ceased operating in 2016. Efforts to sell the tall ship afterwards were unsuccessful. Long Beach assumed ownership and care of the vessel in 2017, shortly after it was impounded. What’s On Tap: LAMI will operate American Pride out of Pine Avenue Pier at Rainbow Harbor for the next 10 years. The city will collect $14,000 in dock fees, annually, beginning in the fifth year. “There will be positive local job impacts associated with this recommendation, as the Tall Ship’s operator will staff a Long Beach-based, live-aboard crew, both fulland part-time, to maintain the Tall Ship and conduct the educational excursions, camp activities, and other operations,” city staff stated in a report to council members. -Parimal M.

Good News: Pro-Development Legislation Assembly Bill 2646 (AB 2646), introduced earlier this year by Assembly member Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, was approved by the legislature on Aug. 6 and headed to Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk for signature. The bill authorizes the transfer of a state-owned 97-acre parcel of land from California’s State Lands Commission to the Port of San Diego. The parcel, per an agreement signed in 2010, must be used for coastal public access, open space and sensitive wetlands protection. AB 2646 earned a 37-0 vote in the State Senate on Aug. 6; Assembly members approved the bill by a 74-0 vote in April. Brown will sign or veto the bill before Aug. 31.

CHULA VISTA — The future of development at Chula Vista Harbor is currently suffering from a case of “Good News, Bad News.” Good news: The Log hinted at the possibility of work finally beginning on the long developing Chula Vista Bayfront project. More good news: a bill allowing the Chula Vista Bayfront project to move forward made it out of the legislative process. Bad news: another hiccup, in the form of a lawsuit, has apparently made itself apparent, opening the door for yet another project setback.

A planned revitalization of the land near Chula Vista Harbor could be delayed due to a legal dispute between the Port of San Diego and San Diego County’s airport authority.
Diego Union-Tribune to defend the agency’s decision to retain its legal rights stemming from the parking fee lawsuit. Boling said the port district politicized an otherwise dry legal issue, unnecessarily pitting two sister agencies against each other. “While we did not initiate the lawsuit, we are an interested party, given the potential impacts to our tenants and customers. By filing the answer, we were seeking to ensure we have a seat at the table for future discussions,” Boling wrote in her Union-Tribune op-ed. “We were disappointed that a dry legal question about rental car fees quickly devolved into heated political rhetoric and accusations about the motives and intentions of this action.” She added the port district’s authority to impose fees could directly harm the airport authority’s ability to challenge future decisions. “The … issue is whether the port can levy fees on all airport transportation vendors for future projects of their choosing,” Boling wrote. “If the port can levy fees on rental car transactions, might it also be able to do so on all transportation providers? It’s critical to resolve whether it has this authority – and if we do not respond now, we’ll be giving up our right to oppose any similar actions in the future.” Former California Coastal Commission member Stephen Padilla and current port district commissioner Ann Moore jointly penned an op-ed in the same Aug. 8 issue of the UnionTribune, defending the parking fee and challenging the airport authority’s legal action. “The port’s $3.50 per transaction fee is a fraction of what the airport charges rental car users – up to $45 per transaction – to pay for the airport’s new rental car facility. The port fee will terminate once the parking garage is paid for,” Padilla and Moore stated in their joint op-ed. “The Airport Authority did not challenge this fee when it was used to pay for the parking garage that services the San Diego Convention Center, as well as Petco Park, the Gaslamp Quarter
and the Hilton Bayfront Hotel.” Boling stated the airport authority is still supportive of the Chula Vista Bayfront project despite its legal action. “We support the Chula Vista Bayfront project. It’s good for Chula Vista, good for airport business and good for the entire region. We’re willing to work with our partners at the port to ensure it goes forward without delay,” Boling stated in her op-ed.
Chula Vista Bayfront: Quick Recap Efforts to revitalize the Chula Vista Harbor area have been in play for at least 16 years now. Planning efforts began in 2002 and continued through 2005, when the Port of San Diego and Chula Vista City Council approved a redevelopment master plan. An environmental review process was finalized in 2010, followed by construction permit approvals and California Coastal Commission backing in 2012. The port district began searching for a hotel developer in June 2014 and selected RIDA four months later. RIDA and the port district spent the next few years negotiating an agreement to move forward with development plans. A proverbial light at the end of the tunnel appeared to make itself apparent this year as Chula Vista and port district leadership memorialized an agreement earlier this year. Adding to the momentum: the ball began rolling on site preparation. It is unclear, however, whether the lawsuit involving parking fees would significantly delay the port district’s plans in Chula Vista. The port district hopes to redevelop more than 500 acres surrounding Chula Vista Harbor, which is home to 552 boat slips. Plans call for a new hotel and convention center, public parks, shoreline recreation and an updated RV park. Gonzalez Fletcher’s offices stated the Chula Vista Bayfront project “will require 10,000 construction jobs and, upon completion, generate 20,000 permanent jobs and $2.1 billion in ongoing economic activity annually.”

Sea level rise continues to be a policy pursuit for the California Coastal Commission. The environmental issue has been a relevant discussion on many levels. Newport Beach, for example, has been addressing sea level rise in relation to Balboa Island and residential piers for years.
California Coastal Commission resolves to combat sea level rise Policy direction comes ahead of planned state summit on climate action. By Parimal M. Rohit
REDONDO BEACH — The California Coastal Commission dug its heels into the 1,100-plus miles of state coastline and resolved to continue its fight against sea level rise, as commissioner unanimously adopted a resolution on Aug. 8 to maintain California’s beaches and shoreline amidst a changing environment. Among the tools recommended by the commission to address sea level rise and protect California shoreline were best available science data, coastal armoring, implementation of adaptation strategies and community collaboration. “As you all know, the sea level is rising,” Coastal Commission Executive Director John Ainsworth said. “Our understanding of how much, where and when is also increasing.” Coastal Commission staff presented the sea level rise and shoreline preservation resolution ahead of the Global Climate Action Summit, which will be held Sept. 12-14 in San Francisco and hosted by Gov. Jerry Brown. “The summit will underscore the need … to avoid the most devastating impacts of climate change,” Ainsworth said. “The summit’s discussion will spur climate action in key areas, including land and ocean stewardship.” Ainsworth also mentioned two reports issued by California’s Ocean Protection Council, or OPC - Rising Seas in California: An Update on Sea-Level Rise Science (April 2017) and State of California Sea Level-Rise Guidiance: 2018 Update (March 2018). Commissioner Mary Luevano said the resolution takes “a leadership position” and fosters a conversation on climate change and sea level rise. A Coastal Commission staff report to commissioners added sea level rise
will negatively affect coastal access and recreational opportunities. “Loss of beaches, shorelines and related coastal habitats from the effects of sea level rise and shoreline development will further impact California residents and visitors’ ability to access and recreate along the coast,” Coastal Commission staff stated. “In addition, average temperatures are rising, leading to increased demand for beach recreation areas that provide free or low cost opportunities to recreate and exercise in cooler temperatures and cleaner air.” The approved resolution stated California’s coast plays a valuable role in the national tourism economy and, accordingly, must be protected from the potential harms of sea level rise. More than 250 million people visit the state each year and contribute to a coastal economy worth about $44 billion, according to the Coastal Commission. California’s coastal counties are also home to 1 in 15 Americans, meaning the negative effects of sea level rise could prove harmful to large population centers should various estimates and predictions become a reality. Coastal Commission staff did receive some opposition to the sea level rise resolution. The opposition statements criticized the commission’s resolution for being too focused on beaches or advocating for managed retreat (as a response to rising oceans and coastal flooding). A speaker at the Coastal Commission’s Aug. 9 meeting stated he was opposed to sea level rise resolution because he was not sure how it would affect his private property rights. “We acknowledge these concerns raised by these letters,” Ainsworth said, adding the quasi-judicial agency would continue to address all aspects of sea level rise policy through the best available science. An informational presentation on sea level rise policy guidance, originally planned for the commission’s Aug. 9 meeting, was postponed.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s funding mechanism helps pay for projects in Avalon and San Pedro, among other locations. By Parimal M. Rohit EUREKA — Several boating projects in California benefit from a federal grant program aimed at funding vital infrastructure improvements, according to a presentation at the most recent Division of Boating and Waterways Commission meeting in Eureka. Lisa Fernandes, a project manager with the Division of Boating and Waterways, or DBW, spoke with commissioners about some of the most recent California projects funded by the Boating Infrastructure Grant (BIG) program. A waterfront redevelopment project at the planned L.A. Waterfront in San Pedro is receiving some federal funds for a dock. The dock would likely allow boaters to access the San Pedro Public Market, which is a signature feature of the proposed L.A. Waterfront redevelopment. Also benefitting from the Boating Infrastructure Grant program is a pumpout station in Avalon. Federal officials specifically seek projects adding tie-ups, bringing in new boater amenities, offering additional security measures, promoting safe harbor initiatives and fostering dredging activities for potential Boating Infrastructure Grant funding, according to Fernandes. Tie-up projects include slips, piers, moorings, buoys, day-use docks and gangways, while amenities targeted under BIG funding are inclusive of fuel stations, restrooms, showers, utilities and laundry. Funding for security projects would help pay for lighting, communications buoys, markers, buoys and signs. The grant could also be used to pay for dredging (one-time award), seawalls and engineering permitting costs.
“The purpose of BIG is to construct, renovate or maintain tie-up facilities for recreational boats [measuring] 26 feet in length and staying 15 days or less,” Fernandes told commissioners. “BIG is a federally-funded program managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and funded by the Sportfish Restoration Program.” DBW is an authorized administrator of the grant program, which is broken down into two tiers. Tier 1 funding provides up to $200,000 California agencies are eligible to apply for federal grants to help pay for various boating infrastructure projects, such as docks for California projects promoting boater access to restaurants or other waterfront venues.

Floating home owners now own property that, at one time was worth upwards of $200,000, is almost worthless due to the ordinance amendment in Marina Del Rey, according to some. Floating homes and “unseaworthy” boats are a problem just about everywhere; this particular boat was a nuisance in Newport Beach.

Small Craft Harbor Commission presentation expands on L.A. County’s definition of ‘unseaworthiness’ Ordinance has targeted liveaboards and floating homes since 1999; floating homes ultimately found unseaworthy. By Devon Warren MARINA DEL REY — Floating homes have long been a target of discrimination in California. Marina Del Rey now harbors one of the last marinas in the state that allows floating homes to exists – and that might soon be coming to an end. A presentation to refresh the definition of seaworthiness was given at the Aug. 8 Small Craft Harbor Commission meeting. Seaworthiness is specifically addressed in the Harbor Department division of Los Angeles Code of Ordinance, particularly section 19.12.1060. A brief history of the unseaworthy ordinance was also provided during the Aug. 8 presentation. County staff stated the ordinance had come into effect in 1995 and floating homeowners, at that time, were given exemption, under the condition the vessel was not sailed, transferred, materially modified or abandoned through August 2005. An amendment was made to this ordinance in 1999, deeming any vessel “incapable of traveling on the waters in the state of California” as unseaworthy. Floating homes, according to the ordinance, were no longer considered seaworthy vessels and thus began a slew of problems especially for floating home owners. Floating homes, other than those exempt from the amendment, could no longer legally anchor or moor in California. In response, during the presentation, city staff stated that this amend-
ment was addressing safety issues on the water as well as liveaboard sanitary issues. The amendment, according to staff, was also addressing derelict vessels by setting standards so boat owners could not let their vessels fall into disrepair. Emotional commentary ensured with speakers making statements about the quality of floating homes, commenting that some had been built to “quality standards by Howard Hughes” in earlier days. One speaker relayed the difficulties of houseboat owners to re-sell their vessels, which at one time might have cost upwards of $200,000. The seaworthy ordinance amendment that passed in 1999 rendered most floating homes unsalable, according to the speaker, causing sellers to have to “crush” their floating homes for a cost of $11,000. Another speaker said, “Nobody is doing anything to help the boaters who are paying for the slips, who are making the marina what it is,” adding that he had tried to make an appointment with Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn, but could not get past her staff. The speaker also compared the plight of the floating home owners to eminent domain and that the city should offer “current, fair market value” for the floating properties. Commissioners did raise questions as to whether or not the ordinance amendment was fair to floating home owners in terms of resale value. Comments were also made that floating homes have been able to stay in docks up and down the coast of the United States, hinting that perhaps there should be an open discussion as to whether California could also make concessions to allow some.

Avalon bans single-use straws, other plastic items Catalina Island’s sole municipality will join Malibu and Seattle in regulating plastics.
AVALON — Banning single-use plastic straws has become all the rage in recent months, with cities and private companies alike jumping on the environmental bandwagon and prohibiting an item commonly found at dining establishments and supermarkets. Avalon is the most recent city to move forward with a ban on single-use plastic straws, joining the likes of Starbucks, McDonald’s, Seattle and Malibu in enacting similar prohibitions on the drinking accessory. Members of the Avalon City Council unanimously approved a single-use plastic straw ban ordinance, Aug. 21. Also banned within the ordinance were polystyrene containers and single-use plastic bags. The plastics and polystyrene ban ordinance was barely deliberated at the Aug. 21 meeting, with council members voting on the regulation a few minutes after it was introduced by Avalon’s city attorney. Council members did extensively discuss the plastics and polystyrene ban two weeks earlier, when they pro-

Avalon has hopped onto the plastic straw ban wave, as local City Council member voted to ban the restaurant accessory from Catalina Island’s sole municipality. The city is also placing a ban on polystyrene containers.
vided city staff with direction of what a prohibition on single-use plastics and polystyrene containers would look like. The ordinance would take effect Jan. 1, 2019. Avalon pursued its policy against single-use plastic bags and straws – and also polystyrenes – as part of a larger mission to reduce the amount of plastic in landfills. City officials have been looking to the city of Malibu – which has bans in place on plastic bags, cutlery, sandbags, straws and stirrers – as a model of how to draft the Avalon ordinance. Meat and fish trays, egg cartons, packing materials, cups, plates, coolers and ice chests made of plastic material were among the items included in the Malibu ban. “The purpose of the ordinance was to protect the natural environment from non-biodegradable litter, reduce solid waste and promote public health,” city staff stated in a report to council members. “Polystyrene and plastics have not been around long enough to know exactly how long they take to breakdown; however, some estimates state they may take a minimum of 500 years if they are able to break down at all.” Banning single-use plastic bags became a part of the ordinance after

one council member, on Aug. 7, pointed out some of Avalon’s restaurants provided customers with plastic bags to carry their to-go items. Avalon city staff continued the ocean is home to more than five trillion pieces of plastics, with 92 percent of this smaller than a grain of rice. “These fragments are misidentified as food by aquatic biota and enter into the food chain,” city staff continued. “Plastic in the ocean also attract other [pollutants], which magnify the toxicity of fragments consumed by marine life, and ultimately enter the human food chain. Plastic straws and stirrers end up on the ocean through human error or misuse, such as litter that blows into the ocean.” This is not Avalon’s first rodeo with regulating plastic materials. City law, prior to the enactment of the single-use plastics and polystyrenes ban, featured four exemptions: food prepared outside the city and not packaged (and not repackaged in city); food provided by Long Beach Unified School District to school students in Avalon; coolers and ice chests made of polystyrene intended for re-use; and, food brought by individuals for personal consumption on city property (and not part of a formal event). The coolers and ice chests exemp-
tion was the only one City Council members did not want to retain moving forward. One of the key questions the City Council faced during its Aug. 7 meeting: to what extent should Vons be exempted from a policy governing plastics and polystyrenes. “We don’t want Vons their food with polystyrene and we also don’t want them to sell it,” Council member Pam Albers told her colleagues on Aug. 7. Also discussed at the Aug. 7 meeting was whether Avalon should ban Mylar balloons. Mylar balloons, the point was made, run the risk of becoming entangled with power lines (which could cause fires). “It’s going to be difficult for us to ban Mylar balloons. People are bringing them over from the mainland. It’s not as if they are being manufactured here,” Council member Cinde MacGugan-Cassidy, who also expressed concern about the use of plastic water bottles, said during the Aug. 7 meeting. “I don’t want to be the first city who does the Mylar balloon ban.” MacGugan-Cassidy, who has been advocating for a city policy on this issue, added her initial intent was to have Avalon pursue an all-out ban on plastic bags.

Ocean Management: The Future for the Port of San Diego, the State of California – the World?

Board of Port Commissioners receives presentation on Ocean Planning Partnership between port district and State Lands Commission. By Devon Warren
SAN DIEGO — California, as one of the largest economies in the world, is no stranger to cutting-edge technology. San Diego, however, could be on the brink of ocean technology that could change the world – for better or worse – according to Port of San Diego Commissioner Dan Malcolm. Staff from Port of San Diego’s Planning and Green Port department presented a timeline for a new endeavor between the Port and State Lands Commission, during an Aug. 8 presentation. The partnership would be referred to as the Ocean Planning Partnership. On the official website, the program is described as “a comprehensive, stakeholder-driven process that considers the dynamic and interconnected relationship between the ocean environment and the human uses within this environment to manage resources and activities effectively and responsibly.” The website continues: “The pilot is centered around Public Trust uses, which both partners manage, including commerce, navigation, recreation, fishing and environmental stewardship.” San Diego is an ideal location for such a partnership, according to staff, because there is a unique blend of ocean users, from fishermen to recreational boaters, and other stakeholders who are invested in the future of the ocean. The memorandum for the regional ocean planning system was filed on Dec. 22, 2016. The port district and State Lands Commissioner are preparing to release the Draft Preliminary Assessment Report on this project by September, it was announced. Included in the outline of the report would be the vision for the future of the ocean, a study into the diverse marine recreationists and business owners, data collected, an appendix of the stakeholders and ocean users and next steps to begin. At the time of the draft release, the general public will be able to access the document and the Port plans to hold open-house-style public gatherings to obtain feedback. A website application and the finalized Preliminary Assessment Report is expected by the end of the year. Peter Halmay, president of San Diego’s Fishermen’s Working Group, commented: “As we see this project developing, it can go very, very well for fishermen or very badly and we have to keep our eyes on it.” Halmay also stated the port district
A finalized Preliminary Assessment Report, which will outline the focus, data and stakeholders for the Ocean Planning Partnership, is expected to be completed in early fall.
has been receptive to feedback and the Fishermen’s Working Group will continue to advise as needed. Malcolm praised Board Chair Rafael Castellanos for his expansive vision for ocean and maritime-related topics, adding this project is “cutting edge of agencies for water planning actually looking at managing and planning the water.” Visit the website at sdoceanplanning.org to learn more about this endeavor.

Nails used as spikes on the perimeter of docks in Newport Harbor were removed, but is the replacement legal? By Parimal M. Rohit
NEWPORT BEACH — A group of floating docks near Newport Harbor Yacht Club in Newport Beach, which previously had the sharp end of nails used as stakes along their perimeter, were removed. The Log reported on the docks in our June 15-28 issue, showing images of the sharp end of nails sticking upwards and spaced closely together along the perimeter of each dock. Newport Beach city staff was quoted in our coverage, stating the nails used as stakes were an illegal sea lion deterrent.
Visiting the Floating Docks The Log navigated to the floating docks on Aug. 16 to visually determine whether the nails were still there. None of the docks were spiked with nails (sharpened side up). At least two of the docks had minimal defense measures. There appeared to be a thin wire wrapped around the perimeter, elevated about one inch above the dock and held up with small screws (sharp end down). Two of the docks had a pair of wooden bars with jagged/pointed edges at the top at its far ends (see photos). The alternative deterrent measures appear to be an improvement from the nails-as-stakes defense mechanism. Whether the wooden bars are consistent with city code and federal policy, however, is yet to be determined. The city of Newport Beach did force the owner of the floating docks to remove the nail stakes. Would city officials consider these wooden bars with a jagged-edged top to also be a violation of city code? Is this a second violation of law? These answers have not yet been answered by city officials? The Log observed at least one boat at the docks with NHYC – or Newport Harbor YC – designated as its home base.
NOAA: Approved and Unapproved Deterrents The question is whether the jagged edged wooden bars would be considered legal within federal guidelines for sea lion deterrents (as established by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA). NOAA specifically lists objects that are sharp and pointed as a deterrent to avoid using. Deterrent measures deemed “appropriate” by NOAA are: • Closely spaced posts • Bull rails • Netting • Swim step protector • Flags
• Pinwheels • Streamers • Flashing lights or strobes • Balloons • Horns • Whistles • Bells • Clapping or banging on pots, pans or drums • Music • Bird screamers. Guard dogs, firearms with live/ lethal ammunition, archery gear, crossbows, spear guns, bangsticks, harpoons, spears, One floating dock in Newport Beach Harbor had a wooden bar at its far ends (white or grey colored) and fencing along the broadgaffs, nail-studded sides. The bar replaced spiked nails placed along the dock’s edges as a sea lion deterrent bats/poles/clubs and tainted baits or poisons are not permissible sea lion deterrents.
Legality and Enforcement The Log is inquiring as to whether the current deterrents on the floating docks are legal. Sources familiar with Newport Beach city codes and NOAA’s approved/unapproved deterrent measures did not immediately respond to The Log’s questions. Sea lions, as mentioned in The Log’s June 15-28 issue, “are a protected species under federal law (Marine Mammal Protection Act, or MMPA). “Anyone who has questions on best techniques to deter sea lions should contact their local harbor patrol or law enforcement office,” The Log’s initial article on sea lion deterrents stated. “NOAA’s West Coast Fisheries office in Long Beach is also available for advisement or guidance; the office can be reached at 562-980-4050.” Newport Beach staff confirmed they responded to the report of spiked nails used as a sea lion deterrent on the floating docks near Newport Harbor YC. The Log reported the floating docks to city officials just prior to our coverage in the June 15-28 issue. City code does address legal and illegal sea lion deterrent practices. “The report of the nails on the floating dock was responded to promptly and the nails have been removed,” Mary Locey, a spokesperson for Newport Beach, told The Log in an email. “The Harbor Department staff is actively patrolling the harbor. As code violations are witnessed or reported, staff is following the city’s established protocols to gain compliance by issuing a notice of violation. If the violation is not cleared, a citation can be issued which includes a fine starting at $100 and up to $500.” Locey added the city’s Harbor Department works with city staff to address code violations within Newport Beach Harbor. “The City Council approved the creation of the Harbor Department on July 10,” Locey stated in her email
Another floating dock had what appeared to be a blue-colored wooden bar with a jagged/pointed top at its two far ends, with no conspicuous deterrents observed along the dock’s broadsides.
A thin line is used along the edge of yet a third dock. All three docks pictured are near Newport Harbor Yacht Club.
to The Log. “One of the first steps was to temporarily relocate the city’s Code Enforcement Supervisor to work with and train the department’s staff on addressing code violations in the harbor.” Lt. Christopher Corn added code enforcement in the harbor is the
responsibility of city and county officials. “Both the city code enforcement and the Sheriff’s Harbor Patrol have the authority to enforce city municipal codes in the harbor,” Corn stated in an email to The Log.

SAN DIEGO — In my previous column I examined some of the issues that might arise if the captain or main boat operator is suddenly incapacitated because of an accident, injury or illness, as well as actions boat owners can take to prepare for unforeseen situations and emergencies. This column continues that conversation. Everyone in the family or crew who spends much time on board a boat should take a basic boating safety class and get a California Boater Card. An even better idea, especially if you’ve just bought a new boat and you’re relatively inexperienced, is to hire a professional captain to teach the whole family/crew how to operate its systems and how to dock and secure the boat in its slip. Hands-on training, with the opportunity to ask questions, is always preferable to attending a generic course or training yourself on boat operations by reading instructional manuals. If you do hire a captain, be sure to request training in dealing with emergencies, including use of safety and emergency equipment and man overboard drills. Make sure you go over the location and use of marine radios, navigation and anchor lights, horns, sound signals and depth sounder.

California Coastal Commission upholds people’s vote in controversial Redondo Beach waterfront development Locals argue for and against Measure C, but CenterCal fires back with “vested rights” claim to property.
REDONDO BEACH — Perhaps it was the fact locals had been waiting since 9 a.m. to hear members of the California Coastal Commission, during their Aug. 9 meeting, vote on whether Measure C would hold up. It could also be that though legal, an attorney representing CenterCal was passing out subpoenas like candy during the meeting. Most likely it was just that the Redondo Beach Waterfront project has impassioned the community – whether one voted for or against Measure C. The California Coastal Commission ultimately upheld the people’s vote and validated the 2017 ballot initiative many believed was a vote against CenterCal’s Waterfront project, which was seen as too large by a segment of Redondo Beach’s population. Coastal Commissioners specifically approved an amendment to Redondo Beach’s Local Coastal Plan that Measure C – also known as King Harbor Coastal Access, Revitalization and Enhancement Act – applies to redevelopment plans such as the one advanced by CenterCal. The vote was 8-2 in favor of Measure C, which was approved by 57 percent of Redondo Beach voters in March 2017. Measure C had replaced Measure G, which CenterCal relied upon to develop its “The Waterfront” project. Measure G, arguably, had a larger turnout of voters leading some opposition to Measure C to claim the new measure was a smaller percentage of support in the city. Many recreational boaters, beach users and waterfront enthusiasts, on the other hand, have largely supported Measure C, which claims to protect coastal access and revitalization of King Harbor. Waterfront developments now plague California, with some moving forward relatively smoothly and some not so much. Redondo Beach’s CenterCal “mall by the sea” is one that falls into the latter category. From the moment that agreement was signed, it was fraught with disarray.
Heating up on all fronts The Aug. 9 meeting was an emotional one, with subpoenas being served by an attorney representing CenterCal and dozens of local, city staff and CenterCal representatives pleading their cases – it seemed almost evenly split between approving and denying Measure C’s ordinance to apply to the Waterfront project. The subpoenas were distributed almost as soon as the meeting began. Many of the major players for and

Measure C, also known as King Harbor Coastal Access, Revitalization and Enhancement Act, passed days after a business agreement between the City and developer CenterCal was signed. The Waterfront development has since been a sore subject among voters and non-voters of the measure alike.
against Measure C showed up to the meeting, including Redondo Beach Mayor Bill Brand, Council members Nils Nehrenheim, Laura Emdee, former CenterCal employee Mickey Marraffino, supporters of Rescue Our Waterfront anti-development group, and others to argue his or her position, which easily reached over an hour in public comments. Coastal Commission Chair Dayna Bocho, at a few points during the meeting, was called to regain composure of the room, stating, “I am not going to lose control of this meeting.” Some locals, in response, apologized on behalf of his or her embarrassment concerning comments at the meeting as the room began to get rowdy. Brand, who opposes CenterCal, called for a “reset” of the current waterfront development plans. Public record at the meeting accounted that Brand had telephone or in-person interviews with all commissioners to discuss the importance of the project to the community as well as argue his points for approval. Emdee, who was put on the hot seat for signing business agreement with the architectural developer CenterCal along with fellow Council member Christian Horvath, had earlier this year stated The Waterfront project “pitted neighbor against neighbor.” During the meeting, Emdee stated, “You’re going to hear a lot about what we don’t agree on, and I’m here to tell you what we do agree on.” She continued “This issue has been completely divisive in this town. I agree with [Mayor] Bill Brand that we need to reset the button. No reason to go back to the polls … Let us just start over.” This ruling from CenterCal led many city staff members to declare
CenterCal’s project was “dead.” CenterCal, on the other hand, has different ideas.
The letter Shortly after the Coastal Commission meeting, on Aug. 13, CenterCal’s attorneys sent a letter addressing Brand, Nehrenheim, Emdee, Gran, Horvath, Lowenstein and City Attorney Michael Webb. CenterCal’s attorneys reminded the city officials of a L.A. Superior Court ruling on May 8, which decreed the “developer has vested rights to the Waterfront Project.” Attorneys argued the ruling prevented Measure C from legally applying to the developer. Language of the letter further went on to read: “In addition, the Agreement for Lease of Property and Infrastructure Financing … between the city and developer remains in full force and effect, notwithstanding the City’s material breaches of the [agreement]. Accordingly, please be advised that, among other things, the city is contractually obligated to lease the designated land on the Redondo Beach waterfront (the “Waterfront”) to developer; and, without developer’s prior written approval, (i) the City is prohibited from extending or modifying any of the existing leases affecting the Waterfront for a period greater than six (6) months, and (ii) the city is prohibited from entering into any new leases affecting the Waterfront for a period greater than six (6) months. Developer has neither waived any of these provisions of the [agreement], nor does developer inter to do so.” The letter from CenterCal was posted to Council member Nehrenheim’s public Facebook account and, according to Nehrenheim, can
be accessed via Public Records Act requests. While the Coastal Commission’s ruling appeared to be a victory for the people, there is still a lawsuit occurring between CenterCal and the city of Redondo Beach.
What’s next? If it does turn out The Waterfront project is indeed taken off the map, any future waterfront development at King Harbor would likely need to begin from the grounds up – again. Nehrenheim, a leading purveyor against the CenterCal project, told The Log there would now be much work to do, essentially beginning the public feedback meetings fresh. Nehrenheim, a lifeguard and longtime resident of Redondo Beach, rose to council member due to his stance on CenterCal’s revitalization plans. “The first steps will be to do the public portion of the improvements such as the boat launch ramp and the Sportsfishing pier, which we [city officials] are responsible for. Because two current Council members, Laura Emdee and Christian Horvath, signed a business agreement less than 35 days before Measure C passed, CenterCal had an ALPIF (business agreement) in place for the project. Because of them and that decision, it is a legal mess that we will need to deal with, which was launched against the City by CenterCal.” Redondo Beach has already been working towards deciding where the new boat launch should be placed and public feedback meetings for the rebuilding of Sportsfishing Pier have largely been positive so far, contrasting developments concerning The Waterfront project.

First batch of tenants announced for 2nd & PCH project
By Parimal M. Rohit
LONG BEACH — Food, clothing, hair, nails and fitness are the theme of the first batch of tenants announced for CenterCal Properties’ 2nd & PCH project, which is currently being erected across the street from Alamitos Bay Marina. The 11-acre development, which CenterCal boasted as maintaining boater-friendly elements, will feature 60-some tenants. CenterCal reportedly released the names of the first seven tenants to fill the 2nd & PCH center when it debuts next year. Cotton Blow Dry Bar, Free People, Holly & Hudson, Linne’s Boutique, Motion Stretch Studio, Ola Mexican Kitchen and Tocaya Organica were the first round of tenants announced for the new 2nd & PCH center, which is located on Pacific Coast Highway at 2nd Street in Long Beach.
Restaurants Ola and Tocaya Organica are the two restaurants on the list, the first being a Mexican restaurant opening its second Southern California location (the original is in Orange County). Tocaya made a name for itself in metro Los Angeles as an eatery with vegan Mexican food.
Clothing Free People and Linne’s Boutique are both clothing-themed tenants, with the former catering to women’s clothing and the latter a boutique ship expanding from its Seal Beach flagship location.
The Others Cotton Blow Dry Bar offers Brazilian blowouts, while Motion Stretch Studio is dedicated to range-of-motion fitness.
Holly & Hudson, meanwhile, is a nail salon.
Future Plans Long Beach city staff is looking to upgrade the area surrounding Alamitos Bay Marina, which itself underwent a multi-year, multi-million dollar renovation.

Second phase of maintenance project will be re-visited later. By Parimal M. Rohit
NEWPORT BEACH — Dredging Newport Beach’s Grand Canal will certainly cost a fistful of dollars, but a bid to complete the maintenance project for a few dollars more has the city reconsidering it plans. The Newport Beach City Council rejected the sole bid submitted to complete the second phase of a planned dredging of the Grand Canal, Aug. 14. Rejecting the bid means city officials won’t be in a standoff with the sole bidder. The city will instead review and re-advertise its bid for dredging vendors at a later date. Newport Beach split the Grand Canal dredging project into two phases, with the first segment completed in February 2017. The city began the process for phase two, but only one bidder responded to the project and proposed a contract amount outside of Newport Beach’s budget. “Staff only received one responsive bid, which was substantially higher than the Engineer’s Estimate of $990,000.00,” city staff stated in a report to council members. Associated Pacific Constructors, the sole bidder, submitted a bid amount
of $1,389,000. Dredging the Grand Canal, according to a city staff conversation with the bidder, is logistically challenging, hence the higher bid amount. “[City] staff’s follow-up phone call to the low bidder indicated that the restrictive access to the Grand Canal, multiple handling of the material, and long hauling distances, from the Park Avenue Bridge A second phase of dredging for Newport Beach’s Grand Canal is in jeopardy as city officials failed to find an affordable option to move to North Bay forward.

Port of San Diego can’t find a consensus to move forward with controversial waterfront development. By Parimal M. Rohit
SAN DIEGO — A developer’s plans to build as many as 500 hotel rooms next to Sunroad Marina in San Diego was rebuffed as the Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners fell short of approving one of two presented development paths. Port district commissioners were faced on Aug. 14 with pursuing one of two possibilities with a proposal to bring a hotel project to Harbor Island. The first option: approve a 500-room, two-phased, dual-branded hotel development. Option two: pursue a reduced one-phase project with a 325-room hotel. Commissioners failed to reach a consensus on moving forward with the 500-room, two-phased, dual-branded hotel proposal, rejecting the proposal by a 3-2 vote, with Board Chair Rafael Castellanos recusing himself from the discussion and Commissioner Marshall Merrifield not present. The proposal to pursue a 325-hotel room project with one phase was also rejected by a 3-2 vote. Both votes irked Commissioner Dan Malcolm. “For this board to come out of this with nothing and no direction isn’t right,” Malcolm said, adding it is unfair to private firms who submit proposals to the port district and expect commissioners to develop some sort of project direction. “We have to provide an
environment where there is some certainty.” The board’s lack of direction also rubbed Sunroad Enterprises President Aaron Feldman off the wrong way. He blamed the board of commissioners for harming the future of the project due to internal differences. “I have no idea what went on,” Feldman, whose Sunroad Enterprises sought to develop the hotel project, said of the proceedings. “I think that it’s … unfair to take a project that is in the very beginning of a design and be so critical. “To walk out from here [with] no direction … it’s absolutely Plans to bring a hotel project online on the eastern segment of San Diego’s Harbor Island hit a snag, as the local port unfair,” Feldman continued.

Invictus Returns to Newport Beach By Parimal M. Rohit
NEWPORT BEACH — Newport Beach’s favorite megayacht is back in town. Invictus was observed navigating through Newport Beach Harbor on Aug. 17. At least one deckhand who works full-time on the harbor said this is the first time he’s seen Invictus in Newport Beach this year. The 215-foot megayacht is no stranger to Newport Beach, as she’s visited the Central Orange County city annually since debuting on the water in 2013. Invictus is available for charter; the
summer rate is $525,000 per week. Amenities aboard the 215-foot megayacht include a fully equipped movie theater, elevator, Jacuzzi, gymnasium and nine guest cabins. The city of Newport Beach is looking into developing consistent and transparent regulations for large yacht mooring within the harbor. Vessels measuring 80 feet and larger would be required to obtain a permit to anchor in a designated area. Invictus, on its Aug. 17 arrival, was seen navigating toward and eventually anchoring the harbor’s Turning Basin area.

Catalina Connection Tarzana man swims to Catalina Island to raise funds for leukemia awareness LOS ANGELES — In the ultimate act of altruism, Tarzana resident, Stan Kurtz, swam to Catalina beginning on Aug. 4, mostly during the night, to raise money for the Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Society. Both Kurtz’s father and father-in-law had passed away from leukemia. Kurtz’s swim also coincided with the timing of his 50th birthday. Kurtz told The Log in an email: “There were many amazing moments and some real challenges, and I landed on shore at 12:15 p.m. on the 5th (started at 11:45 pm the night before on the 4th from Catalina). I swam in near complete darkness (quarter moon with full cloud cover) until about 6 a.m. I had dolphins following me for most of the swim, and then came into shore to a screaming welcome from about 80 people. It was quite amazing. We have raised $29,800 dollars so far for the CLL Society and the donations continue to come in. It has been an epic event.”

Kurtz glides into Avalon after a nearly 13-hour swim that began the night before at 11:45 p.m under the full cover of darkness.
The swim spanned 23 miles across the ocean – from Palos Verdes Peninsula to Catalina Island – and took a little more than 12 hours to complete. Kurtz also set up a GoFundMe page where he successfully raised his $25,000 goal and change. Patty Koffman, executive director of the CLL Society, said: “The non-profit CLL Society offers 28 support groups

12-month fishing license bill survives Appropriations Committee vote Two other sportfishing-themed proposals, however, won’t be moving forward.
SACRAMENTO — A light has finally appeared at the end of the tunnel for California anglers, as the latest attempt to change the state’s sportfishing licensing system to a 12-month regime finally made it out of the Assembly Appropriations Committee. State Sen. Tom Berryhill’s efforts to have annual sportfishing licenses available to anglers could make its way to the governor’s desk if the full Assembly votes in favor of Senate Bill 518 (SB 518) ahead of the Aug. 31 legislative deadline. Whether the 12-month license system makes it to the governor’s desk for signature remains to be seen, but the fact it cleared out of the Assembly Appropriations Committee is a significant step in the right direction.

A proposal to shift California’s sportsfishing licensing system to a 12-month regime will finally have a chance to make it out of the governor’s desk, as SB 518 made it out of the Assembly Appropriations Committee. Similar proposals previously died in the same committee.
proposals in recent years have died in the same committee. The Appropriations Committee vote was 17-0. State senators approved the bill on May 31 by a 31-8 vote. Anglers and fishing activists believed
a similar annual license proposal was on track to make it out of the legislature in 2017, but the bill – also proposed by Berryhill – was killed in the same Appropriations Committee despite no known opposition on record.
Two other sportfishing bills, however, did not make it out of Appropriations and won’t be moving forward this legislative session. Assembly Bill 986 (AB 986) and Assembly Bill 2465 (AB 2465) are dead. AB 986, like SB 518, pushed for a 12-month sportfishing license system but also called for a veteran’s discount. AB 2465, meanwhile, proposed to create a standing group – Recruitment, Retention and Reactivation, or R3 – to identify potential barriers to sportfishing and their effects on license sales. Both proposals, which were introduced by Assembly member James Gallagher, R-Chico, were held in the State Senate Committee on Appropriations. “The results were mixed and we have several more hurdles to clear before SB 518 goes to the governor’s desk,” Marko Mlikotin, executive director of the California Sportfishing League, said in a statement.” It is remarkable to note that SB 518 made it out of the Assembly Appropriations Committee, a graveyard for past fishing license bills.”

No changes are slated for this area. “Note that in the months of November-December, allowable fishing depths in the Northern and Mendocino Management Areas will remain at 20 fathoms, and will not extend to unlimited depths,” DFW staff announced in its released statement. DFW staff added the yelloweye rockfish fishery is expected to exceed its federal harvest limit (3.9 metric tons) for 2018, based upon recent bycatch
estimates. The department can make modifications to fishery restrictions to avoid exceeding catch or take limits. A notice of changes must be issued by DFW at least 10 days ahead of the effective date.

Fish and Wildlife to offer grant funding for habitat restoration or enhancement By Parimal M. Rohit
SACRAMENTO — More than $735,000 in grant funding will be made available by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The money would be available to groups with projects seeking to enhance or restore certain habitats over the next three years. Interested organizations are invited to submit grant applications to DFW’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR). “The grants stem from the multiagency Environmental Enhancement Fund (EEF), whose selection committee includes representatives from the California Coastal Conservancy, the National Fish and Wildlife Federation and OSPR,” DFW staff stated. “The panel may select multiple projects. Previous EEF awards have typically amounted from $75,000 to $150,000. Applications with multi-year projects may also apply.”

This year marks the seventh for the EEF grant program. State officials welcome applications for both coastal and inland waterway projects. Projects must specifically acquire habitat for preservation or work to improve habitat quality and ecosystem function to qualify for funding. Applicants must also “be located within or immediately adjacent to waters of the state; have measurable outcomes within a pre-determined timeframe; [and], be designed to acquire, restore, or improve habitat or restore ecosystem function, or both, to benefit fish and wildlife.” The enhancement fund is funded by oil spill violations. DFW must receive applications by 5 p.m. on Nov. 16. Projects selected to receive funding will be notified in spring 2019.

SAN DIEGO — Southern California’s saltwater anglers might spend a sleepless night or two wrestling with the issue of what to target on offshore fishing grounds. It is a good problem to have, though, as there are a lot of good choices to pick from, with jumbo-sized bluefin tuna to 300+ pounds biting out at San Clemente Island leading the way. Another excellent choice might be the numbers of yellowfin tuna and skipjack mixed with some Dorado and yellowtail down at the Upper Hidden Bank, which is about 40 miles below Point Loma. Yet another fine choice would be to do some kelp paddie hopping for Dorado, ranging from the Catalina Channel on down to the offshore waters outside of Ensenada. Targeting striped marlin, meanwhile, at spots around the East End of Catalina would be another worthy choice. The best area for jumbo-sized bluefin tuna is off the backside of San Clemente Island, where there has been action on fish reaching 300+ pounds. The best areas have been in the region of the 57 Fathom Spot and190 Fathom Spot above China Point at San Clemente Island and the fish have also been ranging further up the back side of the Island to where you are fishing from the area outside of Seal Cove on up to where you are fishing outside of the Runway. The bluefin have been biting on a variety of baits and lures such as sardines, mackerel, live squid, flying fish, kite trolled Yummy Flyers, Flat Fall jigs and poppers. What has been working best in recent days has been live flying fish, dead rigged flying fish, kite trolled Yummy Flyers and live squid. The bluefin have been found by locating meter marks, sonar marks and spots of breaking or breezing fish that are up working on the surface. Some of the best fishing sometimes happens during the dark with the few hours after sunset and prior to dawn being the best. In other areas, the fishing for a mix of yellowfin tuna and skipjack along with a few Dorado and yellowtail has been very good for boats fishing the region around the Upper Hidden Bank in an area ranging from
35 to 40 miles 175 to 182 degrees from Point Loma. Capt. Ron Bowers of Salt Fever reported fishing a two-day trip to the Upper Hidden Bank on Aug. 18 and 19. He caught 31 yellowfin tuna, 10 Dorado and one yellowtail. They also caught and released lots of skipjack. Bowers said their best yellowfin stop came from stopping alongside puddling fish and throwing some Several sportfishing landings have reported Dorado bites chum. That stop turned into a lengthy 4-mile drift where they were in recent days and weeks. Anglers returning to shore aboard Newport Landing’s fleet certainly had their fair catching yellowfin and skipjack. share of Dorado. Capt. Mike Hadfield of the sixpack charter yacht Josie Lynn with Point area of the Corner but none were caught Loma Sportfishing reported fishing a recent that I know of. trip to the area between the Upper Hidden Ray Millman of Go The Distance reported Bank and the 475 Knuckle.

The weekcoast has been good for a mix of calico end also saw a bit of marlin activity within bass, sand bass, rockfish and sculpin and is the fleet of boats fishing for bluefin tuna off also producing a few barracuda, bonito and the backside of San Clemente Island with at yellowtail along with an occasional halibut. least one marlin being caught and released Kelp bed areas have been producing from that zone. most of the calico bass action with the top In the San Diego region the marlin fishareas being the Point Loma Kelp Beds, the ing has been scratchy but the past weekend upper end of La Jolla, Del Mar, Solana Beach, did see a bit of marlin activity outside of the Leucadia, Carlsbad, the Barn, Box Canyon Corner. There were some marlin seen in the and San Onofre.
A three-quarter-day jaunt aboard Stardust on Aug. 21 yielded 14 barracuda for 22 anglers; also caught were 48 rockfish, 24 whitefish, 18 sand bass and seven sheephead. Dana Wharf Sportfishing, meanwhile, shared photos on its social media pages of Dorado. San Mateo and Helena both had Dorado catches on late August fishing runs out of Dana Point. Balboa Angling Club up in Newport Beach, finally, boasted a big catch for angler Ali Pfleger; she needed all but 45 minutes to reel in a 211.7-pound bluefin tuna aboard Hana Pa’a on Aug. 16. Stardust Sportfishing, Dana Wharf Sportfishing, Balboa Angling Club photos
The Point Loma Kelp Beds and the La Jolla Kelp Beds currently provide the best chance at a yellowtail or a flurry of barracuda or bonito action. Capt. Joe Cacciola of the Sea Star with Sea Star Sportfishing and the Oceanside Sea Center has been reporting very good calico bass fishing while working kelp bed areas between Carlsbad and Solana Beach. At last report they had small sardines in their bait supply and Cacciola reported that the small sardines were working very well for the calico bass. With water temperatures ranging up into the high 70s, Cacciola suggests targeting the calico bass by fishing your baits and lures 15 to 20 feet below the surface where the water is a bit cooler than what is on the surface. There are a lot of good choices of what to target in a day of fishing be it offshore at the islands or along the coast. Make a decision about what interests you most and get on out there and enjoy the fun fishing! Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!
