BIZARRE

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

New unnerving footage captured by French “urban explorer” and YouTuber, Juj’ Urbex unveiled images and video footage of a mummified shark that looks like a zombie, along with several other decaying marine creatures that continue to decompose in an unnamed, abandoned aquarium in Spain.

The explorer has not disclosed the aquarium’s location to stop copycat explorers from seeing the site and to avoid being caught (urban exploring is a form of trespassing), Urbex said in the video.

However, she did reveal that the aquarium was somewhere in Spain and was closed in 2014 after a 43-foot wave impaired the building. In January 2014, a freak wave of enormous size hit Spain’s northwest coast, causing significant damage, according to the Spanish news site, The Local, suggesting that this area could be where the aquarium is located.

The video shows the rotting remains of a small reef shark inside a broken display case. The size of the glass box indicates that the shark was already dead

when the aquarium initially put it on display.

The body, therefore, had likely been treated with chemicals and kept in an airtight case to preserve it. Still, after the case broke, exposing the shark to air, it started to deteriorate, slowly giving it a zombie-like appearance. All living animals were transferred to new aquariums when the aquarium was damaged and subsequently evacuated, according to an article from LiveScience.

Still, the shark corpse may have been less of a priority and thus left behind, Urbex speculated in the video.

After discovering an abandoned aquarium in an unknown location in Span, YouTuber Juj’ Urbex has released footage of several decaying sea creatures that were left behind when the Aquarium was destroyed by natural disaster.

Discovering the dried-out remains of the shark “made me feel a lot of sorrow for this beast” even though it was already dead, Urbex said in the translated video into English.

In addition to the shark, the explor-

ers found the decomposed remains of an octopus and squid inside separate shattered glass jars. Urbex also speculates that similar to the shark, these creatures were likely already dead when the aquarium closed its doors. However, after their jars, which likely contained

formaldehyde, were smashed, the cephalopods began to decompose. Urbex also found two sea stars that were left behind, but unlike the other animals, these invertebrates had not started to decay because they had been completely dried out before being put on display.

RE: Catalina Island and SoCal Edison’s

Desalination Plants are Quenching Thirst (JULY 8-21)

“What happens to the salt that is removed from the water? Is it pumped back into the ocean? Does that not create an eco-issue, too much salt in a given area?”

— -Doug

Answer: According to Senior Supervisor of Water and Gas Operations for SoCal Edison, Frank Beach, only about 40-44 percent of the salt water that is taken in is treated to become fresh water.

The remaining 60 percent is sent back to the ocean along with the additional salt as brine that is extracted from the 40-44 percent as to not

shock the ocean’s salt balance.

The desal plant has to undergo a regular permitting process which ensures the facility isn’t impacting the ocean and surrounding environment.

“The State Water Resources Control Board issues SCE an operational permit, regularly renewed, that ensures the higher salinity water we release does not have any adverse impact to the surrounding environment,” said SoCal Edison Spokesperson Brian Leventhal in a July 20 email.

“One of the conditions of this permit is that we routinely sample ocean water in close proximity to our facility to validate that the salinity of the ocean water is not changing. We take this responsibility seriously and are committed to being good stewards of Catalina’s environment….

In addition, our desalination plant reduces reliance on the limited groundwater supply in Catalina. This makes these groundwater supplies more available to the Catalina ecosystem and leads to more fresh water flowing back into the ocean above and below ground.”

RE: Ask a Maritime Attorney: What is the Coast

Guard Auxiliary’s role? (MAY 27-JUNE 9)

“I think the other two commenters did well to explain the situation, but I wanted to simplify those explanations a bit. In simplest terms, the Auxiliary has NO law enforcement authority, to include underway safety inspections. However, they do provide boats to regular Coast Guard personnel to perform their tasks.

It is very likely that the boarding was done by a Coast Guard boarding team member, and not the Auxiliary, and despite the boat used, a Coast Guard ensign would be flown on it to denote it being used under Coast Guard authority.

Please check your boarding form to see who performed the inspection.

If it is an auxiliary form, you may report this as an infraction to the local Coast Guard sector and they will investigate.”

Free Marine Flare Collection Event in Dana Point

Input on Proposed Slot Limit Striped Bass

DANA POINT— Boaters will be able to

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is soliciting public input on a proposed regulation change that would restrict the harvest of striped bass to a “slot limit” between 20 and 30 inches for inland anadromous waters.

Under the proposal, all striped bass caught below 20 inches in length and above 30 inches in length would have to be released. The Nor-Cal Guides and Sportsmen’s Association has submitted the regulation change proposal to the California Fish and Game Commission.

The stated goal is to protect the species by increasing the minimum length to allow more fish to mature and successfully spawn prior to harvest and to protect the larger fish that tend to be the most prolific spawners and are becoming increasingly rare in the fishery.

If approved, the slot limit would apply to any striped bass caught by recreational anglers in all anadromous inland waters of the state, which includes coastal and Central Valley rivers and streams and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to the Carquinez Bridge near Vallejo. This proposal would not include inland reservoirs, lakes, or ocean waters, including the San Francisco and San Pablo bays up to the Carquinez Bridge. The CDFW has created a survey for input which can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SPJL6DR. There will also be a public meeting on Aug. 24 at 6 p.m. to discuss the topic the Zoom link can be found here: https://us06web.zoom. us/j/81676220423.

Study Shows Bottlenose Dolphins Maintain Bonds from Calf to Juvenile Stages A ten-year research project between the Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute and the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine indicates that bottlenose dolphins will maintain relationships created as calves through their juvenile stages. During the study, scientists relied on images gathered during photo-identification surveys to track dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) over time by unique markings on their dorsal fins. A total of 242 boat-based surveys enabled analysis of 2,800 dolphin sightings from Florida’s northern Indian River Lagoon and Halifax River. They then used social network analysis to investigate the dolphin communities’ social structures and statistical analyses. “We found clear evidence that the majority of associations that were established when the dolphins were calves were maintained as they matured into juveniles,” said Wendy Noke Durden, HSWRI Research Scientist II, in a July 26 press release. “Previously, the research dedicated to dolphin associations in this transition period was limited.” This data could advance understanding of how dolphin communities are shaped and their importance for individuals.

Founded in 1971 NO. 1186

AUGUST 5 - AUGUST 18, 2022

W R ITE TO:

ANSWER: A Coast Guard Abstract of TitleBW is a record of all of the documents submitted to the Coast Guard for a particular boat and accepted for recording by the Coast Guard. An Abstract is available for all Coast Guard documented vessels, either through a vessel documentation service or directly from the Coast Guard’s National Vessel Documentation Center (www.uscg.mil/hq/cg5/nvdc/).

Many people view an Abstract as a vessel title history, but this is not exactly correct for a number of reasons. First, it lists only materials that were accepted for recording by the Coast Guard during the time that the vessel was Coast Guard documented. As such, there may be lengthy periods of time that are not accounted for if the boat was ever registered in a state (such as through the California DMV) or in another country.

More importantly, as discussed in this column many times, the recording of a lien with the Coast Guard is optional. As such, a valid lien may not be listed on the Abstract, and a claim that is listed may not be a valid lien. The instrument is therefore referred to Please see ATTORNEY, PAGE 7

as a Notice of Claim of Lien (rather than an actual “lien”), and the recording of the instrument has no legal effect other than to notify the world that someone claims to have a lien. We should note that this treatment is different for a mortgage, which in fact must be recorded to be valid.

In view of the foregoing, an Abstract is not a definitive “title history” for a vessel.

Nonetheless, a wide range of information is listed on an Abstract, and that information is used by different people for different purposes.

The document starts by identifying the vessel by name, Coast Guard Official Number, and Hull Identification Number, together with a discussion of where, when, and by whom the vessel was built. This information by itself is helpful. A prospective buyer should compare the Hull ID Number and Official Number on the Abstract with the numbers that are permanently marked on the boat and confirm that the numbers match. Any discrepancy may be evidence of a simple typo, or it could be evidence of a fraud or a crime. It should in any case lead to further inquiry.

It is not uncommon for some of the identifying information to be missing, particularly when the boat was initially registered with a state or a foreign country. However, missing information may sometimes be an indicator of a problem.

For example, it may be perfectly legal to register a 70-foot motor yacht with the California DMV, but this would nonetheless be unusual since most large yachts - and all large commercial boats in this country are Coast Guard documented.

Since the Abstract of Title would have no information for the period that the boat was DMV registered, a prospective buyer may want to ask a few questions to fill in that missing information.

After the identifying information, the Abstract lists a series of documents in chronological order. Most users of an Abstract are concerned with three principal documents: A Bill of Sale (to evidence a transfer of ownership), a Notice of Claim of Lien, and a Preferred Ship Mortgage. It also lists a Satisfaction of Mortgage and a Satisfaction of Claim of Lien, which are used to cancel the original mortgage or lien, and it lists various lesser-used documents such as the recording of a court order or a Coast Guard administrative task.

When lenders review an Abstract of Title, they will start from the top and con-

firm that the transfers of ownership accurately track the history from seller to buyer, they will confirm that every prior mortgage is followed by a satisfaction of mortgage, and that every Claim of Lien is followed by a Satisfaction of Claim of Lien. They understand that the lien information may not be conclusive, but on the other hand, an outstanding claim of lien is a problem whether or not it is legitimate.

Most people who review an Abstract of Title will stop when they confirm that the liens and mortgages all appear to be satisfied. But the Abstract provides more information if we look just a little deeper. We already discussed the importance of time gaps in the chronological history and missing or incorrect vessel identification information, but information that is otherwise correct may be helpful as well.

For example, a large Claim of Lien may appear to have been satisfied, but what if the claim was made by a salvage company? This would tell us that the boat suffered a catastrophic loss at some time that may not have otherwise been disclosed.

The identity of the owner may also be important. If the first transaction recorded on the Abstract is a transfer to a new boat dealer, but the first sale to a consumer was a few years later, the boat may have been used by that dealer as a demo and the new boat warranties may have been extended by the demo period. Or the identity of a previous owner may provide some insight as to a prior use of the boat. If we know that a boat was owned by commercial maritime service company. our marine surveyor may know to look for some hidden scars that would not otherwise be apparent.

The thing to take away from this discussion is that a Coast Guard Abstract of Title may be a treasure trove of information. Buyers should ask their broker or lender for a copy and then review it carefully for anomalies, even if they are assured that there are no outstanding liens.

Mexican flag flies above this Ensenada marina.

MEXICO REPORT: DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO TURTLE BAY? Right now, several hundred U.S. boat owners (power and sail) are preparing themselves and their vessels to leap off from Southern California this fall, to bounce their way down Baja and plunge into the thrilling but unfamiliar world of Mexico cruising. Bravo, them!

Among the first boats to head south will be about 100 members of the annual Baja Ha Ha sailboat group and about 50 members of the CUBAR power boat fleet.

By some quirk of fate, both these groups will depart San Diego around Halloween, and will arrive on Nov. 3 or 4 in the small fishing village of Turtle Bay – about halfway down Baja.

Soon to follow will be at least 1,000 additional cruising and fishing boats, according to the Mexican Fisheries office.

About half of them will be independent boaters who’ve planned this adventure for years, some departing in November as their insurance allows, while others will hold off until just after the holidays.

The rest are likely to be newbies.

During the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021, the U.S. experienced record-breaking yacht sales, and the primary reason stated by first-time boaters was stress relief.

As we West Coasters approach the winter of 2022-2023, they’re all planning to follow the dream of cruising south into the tropical sunset.

“Just head south and turn left at Cabo San Lucas,” is encouraging advice for Mexico newbies - but it’s misleading.

After the comforts of Ensenada, the next 320 miles southeast (not south) to Turtle Bay include no marinas, fuel docks, groceries, or chandlers. But more challenging on this first big leap is the infamous scarcity of reliable overnight anchorages.

We have to get a good night’s sleep while underway, and be prepared to “keep on keeping on.”

HERE’S THE WAY TO TURTLE BAY San Diego to Ensenada (65 n.m.): Expect a VHF call from the Mexican Navy near the Coronado Islands. Stay three miles east of South Coronado Is-

land to avoid (1.) fish pens to starboard and (2.) Rosarito Beach’s offshore tanker mooring buoys to port. At about 40 miles south of the border, stay three miles off the outer breakwaters of the LNG ship terminal on Punta Salsipuedes. Stay .75 of a mile off Punta San Miguel and a mile off until you reach Marina Coral’s slightly “S” curved entrance or go two more miles to enter Ensenada harbor.

Do your port clearance here, fix things, cook meals ahead, enjoy any of four nice marinas.

Ensenada to San Quintin (110 n.m.): At 12 n.m. past Punta Banda, stay two miles west of craggy Punta Santo Tomas to avoid a pinnacle rock with kelp. Flattopped Cabo Colonet is the next landmark 65 miles south of Ensenada. Marginal anchorages is possible SE of the point. From here it’s a straight 30-mile run to Isla San Martin, shaped like a coolie hat. Avoid the presumed location of submerged Ben’s Rock two miles due south of this island; it breaks occasionally but dangerously. From Isla San Martin, it’s 9.5 miles to Cabo San Quintin (pronounced “keen TEEN”) dotted by volcano peaks. Round the point but stay outside the field of shoal breakers and head NE for 2.5 to 3.5 miles to the vast anchorage south of the sandspit called Playa Santa Maria. Don’t enter the shallow inner bay.

San Quintin anchorage is this region’s only overnight rest stop; no town, no cell service. Expect reliable shelter in prevailing Northwesterlies, but it’s wide open to southwest and south.

San Quintin to Cedros Island (130 n.m.): It’s 38 miles to the ship-killer Sacramento Reef, so be about 10 miles west of Punta San Antonio to avoid the reef.

With a good weather window, here’s where you jump offshore to cross Vizcaino Bay, making landfall on Cedros Island’s north point. Expect big following seas on this 85 mile crossing, then a welcome lee for 21 miles as you make southing along the east side of Cedros Island.

Enrique fuels boats at Turtle Bay pier.

Mexico Report From page 8

Cedros Town and El Morro salt docks.

(If you’ve already cleared into Mexico at Ensenada, you could request an emergency stop to enter Cedros Town’s small commercial harbor.)

Cedros Island to Turtle Bay (35 n.m.): From 1.5 miles east of El Morro salt piles, lay a 12-mile course for the middle of the 4-mile gap between Isla Natividad and Punta Eugenia (pronounced “Ee-you-HAYN-yah” ). Expect turbulent mixing of currents here. From 2 miles west of Punta Eugenia Light, you can point-hop 17 miles southeast (bypassing Bahia Quebrada) to scope out the entrance to Turtle Bay from about 27°38.5’N, 114°54.0’W. Favor the left side of the 1-mile wide opening between Punta Saragaso to your left and the pinnacle Rock Entrada to your right, and head 1.5 miles northeast to the town anchorage around the tall fuel pier on the northeast shore of this 2.5-mile wide bay.

Turtle Bay: If fuel is your priority, hail “Enrique fuel service” on VHF 16 as you come to anchor. Order your desired quantity by radio. Take your fuel from either (1.) the fuel panga that comes alongside your boat at anchor, preferably close

northeast of the pier, using their wimpy pump, or (2.) by you med mooring (stern to) as close as comfortable off the outer end of the pier. The pier is about 15 feet tall at mid low tide, so if the attendant doesn’t drop you a messenger line, consider using a monkey fist to get the eye of your longest side spring dock lines up on the pier. Prices are in pesos for liters, and due to its remoteness, Turtle Bay generally has the most expensive diesel in Baja.

Complaints about inaccurate measures are frequent, such as charging for 75 gallons into a 50-gallon tank.

Going ashore? If you leave your dinghy near the pier’s rickety stairs, secure it well off to the side so it doesn’t block panga-passenger access. The small dinghy beach is usually west of the pier, where dinghy wheels come in handy. But if the panga fishermen are pulling ashore east of the pier, there’s probably a reason.

The ruins of the 1923 cannery are visible behind the pier. Tons of abalone, lobster and tuna canned here were shipped to the US and Asia before it closed in 1990. An abalone nursery here is replenishing the region.

Store names change, but Anaid’s, La Purisma, El Yaki have had fresh provisions. Stock up on “bolillos,” Baja’s unique bread, also local eggs, honey, avocados, oranges and garden greens.

Next time, we’ll get from Turtle Bay to Magdalena Bay.

The Ventura Harbor Entrance dredging project has smoothly begun after the federal appropriation of $5.5 million was awarded to the Ventura Port District, an annual award that supports the movement of an estimated 380,000 cubic yards of sand.

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS V E N T U R A —U. S. Representative of

California 26th District, Julia Brownley visited the Ventura Port District to celebrate the federal appropriation of $5,516,000 for maintenance dredging in Ventura Harbor. The check was presented to the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Ventura Board of Port Commissioners, Chris Stephens and Michael Blumenberg.

The Ventura Port District works with California Congressional and Senatorial representatives on an annual basis to maintain the channel.

The harbor dredging in 2021 was funded as one of Brownley’s ten Community Funded Projects as a part of the Fiscal Year 2022 Omnibus; the project was also supported by Senators Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla.

Brownley’s project funding is a supplement to funding provided in President Joe Biden’s budget which ensures the Ventura Harbor entrance maintenance. This is where the initial funding comes from.

“Since first being elected to Congress, I have been tireless in my work to secure funding for the dredging and mainte-

nance of Ventura County’s harbors,” said Brownley in a press release from July 18.

“The dredging of Ventura Harbor is essential to ensuring continued operations of this critical West Coast fishing hub.

The annual funding is vital to ensuring that the harbor’s federally authorized channel remains open to those who rely upon the harbor, including the commercial fishing industry and supply chain businesses.”

Brownley stated that she believes the federal government must continue to invest resources in key economic drivers such as the Ventura Harbor. Brownley stated that the Ventura Harbor directly impacts the nation’s economic security; it provides critical recreational and tourism opportunities and is an essential part of the Ventura community.

“This funding will support operations at the harbor, support local businesses that rely on these waterways, and ensure the preservation of our coastline and beaches,” said Brownley. “The dredging efforts also help keep our local tourism and recreation industries thriving to provide recreational opportunities for everyone throughout the region. This is a real win-win-win!”

In the July 18 press release, Ventura Port District General Manager Brian Pendleton expressed that the public benefit of the annual maintenance dredging extends beyond keeping the channel open. The booming tourism that Ventura County beaches generate is a direct benefit to the county, and maintenance dredging helps ensure this, according to Pendleton.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is responsible for the completion of the project, which Congress first authorized in 1968 through P.L. 90-783. Funding for federal agencies, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, must be approved annually by Congress through the annu-

Ventura Port District Celebrates Federal Appropriation of Over $5 Million For Ventura Harbor Dredging

California Congresswoman, Julia Brownley awarding the Ventura Port District with a big check to go towards the dredging of the entrance of Ventura Harbor. al budget and appropriations process. By maintaining this deep draft navigation channel, it ensures that the nearly 1,500 harbor vessels, including the Channel Islands National Park ferries, commercial fishing vessels, and private boaters, have unrestricted entry between the ocean, Ventura Harbor, and the Ventura Keys.

“Congresswoman Brownley has been involved in this effort since she was first elected in 2012,” said the Office of Congresswomen Brownley. “The annual process begins with the submission of the President’s budget request to Congress.

From there, the House and Senate each develop appropriations legislation. Once each chamber approves its version of the bill, a conference committee works to resolve differences, and the final bill that passes the House and Senate is presented to the President for signature. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers then de-

velops a “work plan” based on the enacted legislation.”

There are several regulatory agencies involved in the dredging activity, according to Pendleton. The material in the entrance channel and sand trap is very well suited for beach nourishment after the winter erosion of the beaches.

“So, in addition to keeping the entrance safe and navigable, the high-quality sand is redistributed onto adjacent harbor beaches,” said Pendleton in an email from July 21. “This in turn helps to provide an accessible and safe beach going experience for the public, while defending protected species habitat. The public benefit of the annual maintenance dredging extends far beyond keeping the channel open.”

Anglers Asked to Turn in White Seabass Heads for Data Collection Analysis By: BLAKE WARREN

Western Outdoor News Managing Editor

In what was just reported earlier this year, after a recent study four years in the making, a team of marine fisheries experts and genetic scientists determined there were far more white seabass caught in Southern California waters reared at the Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute hatchery (HSWRI) than previously thought.

While a 2017 study indicated that less than one percent of California-caught white seabass originated from the Carlsbad facility based on coded wire tags that are routinely implanted in juvenile fish at the hatchery, this most recent study found 46.2 percent of seabass caught in South-

ern California waters originated from the hatchery through a comparative analysis of genetic markers.

And now, the Coastal Conservation Association of California (CCACAL), HSWRI and the Ocean Resources Enhancement and Hatchery Program (OREHP) are asking anglers to pitch in and contribute to the ongoing study by turning in any and all white seabass heads obtained over through Aug. 31 in order to conduct further research.

In what has been one of the best seabass years in recent memory, this can and should definitely be accomplished, as the program is hoping to collect a minimum of 1,000 seabass heads.

As an added incentive for turning in seabass heads, a $25 AFTCO gift code will be doled out to the first 1,000 private

boaters who turn them in, while the sport boat that turns in the greatest number of heads for the month will receive $500 — same with the sport boat that turns in the greatest number of seabass heads with coded wire tags.

Proper protocol for the head collection must be followed and the heads must come from legal-sized fish (28 inches or larger) and be caught in U.S. waters, the heads must be bagged and labeled according to program requirements.

Information on each head’s label must include the vessel name, date, and location where each fish was caught.

There are convenient drop-off locations ranging from Santa Barbara to San Diego where seabass heads can be delivered. For more information on proper protocol, bagging and labeling requirements

and specific drop-off locations throughout Southern California, visit the CCACAL website at ccacalifornia.org/wsb.

CCA- CA L , the HSW R I and the OCREH have gone above and beyond over the years since the program’s establishment nearly 40 years ago in 1983 to help sustain our unique and rich white seabass fishery that now appears to be thriving. Now is the perfect opportunity for anglers to give back and contribute to this vital program.

So, make the most of this summer and cash in on the great seabass fishing we’ve had so far this season. Hit your local kelp lines or head out to the islands and get a piece of the action and be sure to bag and tag the heads from your seabass success to keep this terrific fishery right in our backyard going strong.

Slip Fees in Long Beach Marinas Will Increase by Three Percent The fee increase will help the city repay bonds as the Alamitos Bay Marina rebuild project continues.

LONG BEACH — Long Beach’s marinas and boat owners will see the monthly rent go up by three percent starting Oct. 1 to combat city bond payments that are due in the coming year. The slip fee increase will apply to the three city operated marinas, Alamitos Bay Marina, Downtown Marina, and the less crowded Rainbow Harbor commercial marina.

At its monthly meeting on July 14, Long Beach’s Marine Advisory Commission (MAC) reviewed the proposed slip fee; the decision was approved and filed by the city council. The commission can make comments and recommendations but has no authority to set or change the fees. The approval is awarded by city council, who will regard the comments and recommendations presented by the commission when they award the official approval of the fee increase in August.

The Long Beach marinas three percent slip fee increase is part of the proposed City of Long Beach FY23 Budget and is meant as a solution to bonds which were taken out in 2015 and are due this coming year.

On May 15, 2015, the city council authorized the issuance of the Marine Revenue Bonds, Series 2015, in an amount not to exceed $125,000,000 for waterside improvements to the Alamitos Bay Marina and to repay existing State Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) loans.

The bond proceeds totaled $120,796,830 of which $42,244,796 were allocated to the project, $61,471,754 were used to pay the DBW loans, and the remaining amount represents the cost of issuance and the amount deposited into a Bond Reserve Account.

The increase is part of an agreement reached in 2015 to issue $125 million in bonds to pay for a rebuild of the Alamitos Bay Marina, the largest municipally operated marina in the country; the Alamitos Bay Marina boasts 1,655 slips in seven basins. A minimum two percent annual increase is required by the 2015 Marina Revenue Bond issuance and approved by City Council action.

“Any additional percentage increase is intended to maintain the 1.25X Bond Debt Service Ratio and cover personnel and non-personnel expenditures,” said Todd Leland, Long Beach Marine Operations Superintendent in an email from July 25. “Note- This increase is below the FY23 City Cost Index (CCI) increase of 5.27%.”

A design-build approach for the Alamitos Bay Marina was approved in 2005, but construction didn’t begin until 2010.

at one time. The city answered by breaking the rebuild into stages but had trouble keeping the project going, partly because of funding problems.

Subsequently, in 2015, the city agreed to issue a $125 million revenue bond sale to repay loans from the state’s Department of Boating and Waterways and to pay for the remainder of the construction. Those bonds were guaranteed by future slip fee revenue, including a deal to

increase fees, as necessary, to keep revenues at 125 percent of debt service for that year.

The index suggests the fee for the most common slip, 20-foot spaces, will be $166.71 a month, compared to the current $161.85. In addition, a vessel occupying a 100-foot slip will see an increase of $84.08 a month, bringing the payment from $2,802.54 to $2,886.62 a month.

Dedication Ceremony Held for Hansen Plaza in Honor of Don Hansen Hansen grew up on the water and was a prominent member of the Dana Point community and an advocate for the harbor.

DANA POINT— On Aug. 3, the Dana Point Harbor Partners invited the community to a plaque dedication for the Hansen Plaza in honor of Dana Wharf Sportfishing and Whale Watching founder Don Hansen.

Hansen, a well-loved member of the Dana Point Harbor community and surrounding areas, passed away in January of this year at the age of 87.

The planned plaza, which will serve as a reminder of Hansen’s legacy and dedication to the harbor and community, is part of the harbor revitalization, which is fast approaching, a project 20 years in the making to revitalize and renew the harbor for locals and visitors.

“I wanted something, along with the community, to kind of immortalize the great legacy that Don Hansen left in not only Dana Point and the region but certainly in Dana Point Harbor,” said Fifth District Supervisor Lisa Bartlett. “We wanted a sitting tribute to him and his accomplishments and his contribution over the many decades within Dana Point Harbor.”

Hansen was an avid supporter of the harbor and an advocate for the ocean.

He spent his early years on the ocean out of San Clemente, where he moved as a young child from Iowa. He returned to the beach town after his military service during the Korean War. He worked at San Clemente Sportfishing, running a charter boat before eventually buying the business in the late 60s.

Hansen then moved the business to Dana Point Harbor when the harbor opened in 1971, becoming the first tenant on the wharf and locating his business

Hansen, center, was a community leader and active member of the Dana Point Community. The plaque and plaza are meant to remember his dedication and legacy to the harbor. near the mouth of the breakwater.

“Don Hansen started Dana Wharf Sportfishing, and his business was the very first business in the 70s in Dana Point Harbor,” said Bartlett. “So, he was very well loved in the community. He was a good friend of mine and was loved by the community at large.”

For 50 years, Hansen actively participated in Dana Point Harbor and the surrounding area serving on several boards and committees for the betterment of the ocean and the community, including Chairman of the Pacific Fisheries Management Council and the Revitalization Task Force for Dana Point Harbor and County of Orange.

Hansen was also the founder of the Dana Point Festival of Whales, which celebrated 51 years in the spring.

The popular festival celebrates the annual migration of gray whales as they pass through Dana Point. Hansen’s work inspired others and fostered a love for marine life in Dana Point.

Hansen’s daughter Donna Kalez, COO of Dana Wharf Sportfishing and Whale Watching, and Giselle Anderson, co-owner of Captain Dave’s Dolphin and Whale Watching Safari worked together to have Dana Point trademarked as the Dolphin and Whale watching capital of the world and then applied to have it designated a Whale Heritage Site. Dana Point received the designation in 2019, becoming the first site in North America and the fourth in the world.

“It is important to us that visitors and future generations know Don Hansen’s story and the legacy he left behind,” said Bryon Ward, president of Burnham-Ward Properties and a partner of Dana Point Harbor Partners. “This plaque will be incorporated into the Harbor revitalization to ensure his legacy will live on forever through the Hansen Plaza.”

Hansen has a list of awards and accomplishments, from his ocean advocacy to his community work, all of which have left a mark on Dana Point and a lasting

legacy for his family and friends.

“I just want to thank the partners for the follow through,” said Kalez. “This is also part of our journey to revitalize the harbor. As you know, my father spent 20plus years trying to get the harbor revitalized and supported the partners and the projects from day one. This is kind of coinciding with that construction beginning on the harbor, and hopefully, this is a new beginning, and we are just really excited to be a part of it and carry on his legacy.”

Hansen Plaza will be located near the Dana Wharf Sportfishing and Whale Watching location. He will be honored with a plaque sharing his story and accomplishments with visitors, which will be placed in the plaza.

“His legacy is whale watching and sportfishing and taking children out on the water to experience and to better understand our oceans and foster responsibility and sustainability, so he would just love all of this,” said Kalez.

A 2022 Report on Fishing Participation Shows Participation Remains Above Pre-Pandemic Numbers The 12th iteration of the report shows that fishing participation across the board has dropped below pandemic numbers but remains at a high compared to 2019.

The 2022 Special Report on Fishing from The Outdoor Foundation and the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation was released with the fishing participation numbers in the United States for 2021, showing a slight decrease in participation from 2020.

Research shows that 17 percent of the U.S. population ages six and up went fishing at least once during 2021. This is one percent less than in 2020 but still 2.3 million more people than the pre-pandemic numbers in 2019.

The pandemic in 2020 locked down indoor activities and had people changing gears to find ways to get outside in a safe way, boosting outdoor activity participation numbers across the board.

“It seems like the participation increases are sticking around, and that is what

we are interested in, and that is going to be really important for boating and fishing to find out if the increases in participation that happened because of Covid are going to stick around once Covid is gone,” said Outdoor Industry Association’s Research Director, Kelly Davis.

The research was then broken down by category to gauge the type of fishing people participated in and who participated. The study kept track of age, ethnicity, gender, education, and income to better understand what makes up the U.S. fishing community.

The report collects the participation data for recreational fishing throughout the United States. It tracks the trends of who is participating in the sport, allowing companies to better understand how the market has changed and could potentially change in the future.

“It is important to understand how big your market is,” said Davis. “You need to be able to understand what is going on

with your participant base. Is it growing, is it shrinking? What are the demographics of the participant base? Considering, for instance, the accelerating diversification of the U.S. demographic. It would be really important to know if your participation base is not matching the diversity of the current demographic, especially if it is accelerating, and you need to know if people are dropping out of what you are selling into.”

To conduct the study, there were 18,000 online interviews conducted throughout 2021 from a nationwide sample from online panels representing the U.S. population.

There were two parts to the study.

First, the online surveys which included over 122 outdoor activities, and then the OIA went back and did a supplemental survey of people who said they participated in fishing.

“Once we get the data from that, then for the RBFF custom study, we go back

and survey supplementally, a supplemental survey. We did survey people who said they did participate in activities we were interested in for the report,” said Davis.

The three types of fishing the study covered were saltwater, freshwater, flyfishing, and variations of those three.

The study found that in 2021: ˙ 62 percent of anglers only fished freshwater ˙ 13 percent only fished saltwater ˙ 10 percent fished both ˙ 7 percent participated in fly fishing ˙ 4 percent fished freshwater and did fly fishing ˙ 3 percent did all three ˙ 1 percent fished saltwater and did fly fishing.

Even though fishing participation numbers dropped by a small margin, anglers in the 6-17 age group and the 55 and over age group continued to grow, with one in four participating in the sport compared to the one in five number from previous years.

There were 19.4 million women who fished in 2021, which is the second-highest number since participation tracking began 15 years ago. Participation increased to 37 percent, up five percent from 2010.

There was a 3.7 million increase in first-time participants, and 8 million people returned to the sport in the same year.

For saltwater fishing, the popularity remains centered on coastal areas like here, in Southern California. On the west coast, 15 percent of the estimated 13.8 million people who particiapted in saltwater fishing did it here..

The numbers have fallen slightly below pandemic numbers as we readjust to post-pandemic life, but so far, it looks like the popularity of the sport will continue to hold.

The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians will help restore critical cultural trails and sites

By CATHERINE FRENCH V E N T U R A — On Ju ly 13, A ssist a nt Secretar y for Indian Affairs Br yan Newland, spoke at the Channel Islands National Park headquarters about the new partnership with the Department of the Interior’s (DOI) commitment of $100,000 to fund important ecosystem restoration projects on Santa Cruz Island.

“Through President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we are advancing partnerships between the federal government and Tribes to support access to clean air, clean water and a better environment for future generations,” said Newland. “As we make essential investments through this transformative law to conserve ecosystems, mitigate the risk of wildland fire and maintain our national parks, the support and ingenuity of local partners and Tribes who know these natural treasures best is critical.”

The $100,000 Bipartisan Infrastructure law is a portion of the greater investment of $1.4 billion slated for ecosystem restoration efforts over the next five years. This effort will support major restoration protects across the national park system to conserve wildlife and natural resources that are critical to supporting local economies, jobs creation and strengthen communities.

“This funding will be carried out under a Task Agreement with the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, and their Fire Department in trail construction and their Cultural department in resources protection,” said Newland.

This Task agreement is between the DOI who oversees the National Park service, and in this case, the local band of the Santa Ynez Chumash Indians. Tribe members are keenly aware of the importance of the natural treasures and sacred sites on the Island due to the thousands of years their ancestors thrived on what we now call the Channel Islands National Park.

The project scope includes the protection of natural and archeological sites while enhancing the visitor experience.

The project will improvement public safety by improving corridors and trail conditions on three miles of the park’s most heavily used trails as well close and restore approximately 1,000 feet of unapproved trails, known as social trails.

Marine Life Spotlight: Laysan Albatross Spotted off Newport A pelagic migratory species, the Laysan albatross is mostly found in the North Pacific, making the sighting in Orange County pretty spectacular.

turn to the same nesting areas each year to lay their eggs. The oldest recorded wild Laysan albatross is a 70-year-old bird named Wisdom who nests in a colony found on the Midway Atoll. Wisdom and her partner have hatched over 40 chicks in their colony, according to BLI. Most albatross nest on open, sandy, or grassy inlands, and most of the species are found in the Hawaiian Island chain, in places like Lehua Island.

A small island off of Kaua’i’s west shore is undergoing a restoration effort to rid the island of invasive predator species, restore natural plant life, and attract sea birds back to their natural nesting grounds.

In April of this year, the island was declared predator free after efforts were made to eradicate an invasive rat species.

In 2019, a Bird Life International-led paper recorded that invasive species threatened 68 percent of albatrosses, 90 percent were affected by fisheries bycatch, and 38 percent were affected by climate change.

The Layson albatross was listed as a near-threatened species in 2018 and is currently considered a stable species with 1,600,000 mature individuals in the wild, according to The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

With 15 out of the 22 species of the bird considered globally threatened, the push for more conservation and protection of the species is imperative so we can continue these rare sightings.

The best way to connect with marine life is to get out and see it. Roame believes there are more sightings on the horizons, not just for albatross but other migratory species.

“We are getting some interesting mix of tropical birds like booby birds and then the frigate bird that was just sighted with more impending warm water coming through,” said Roame. “I’ve heard tuna have been sighted offshore between here and Catalina, so things are start-

The Laysan albatross can have a wingspan of over six feet allowing them to glide long distances.

watching group out of Davey’s Locker and Newport Landing Whale Watching were witnesses to a rare sight in Orange County, a Laysan albatross.

Almost two months after World Albatross Day called for more protection and responsibility towards the sea bird, Orange County whale watchers were reminded of the beauty and wonder this ocean giant offers our ecosystem.

The migratory species spend the majority of their lives in between breeding seasons, from July to October, on the Pacific Ocean, traversing between tropical waters near Hawaii up to the southern Bering Sea, looking for its target species, anchovies, squid, and sardines.

The birds are rarely seen in Orange County, especially close to shore, where their food source is lacking. The 7:30 a.m. group was in the right place at the right time when they spotted the bird just six miles out of Newport Harbor in the company of other sea birds like the masked booby who usually makes its home in Mexico.

“It is not unheard of to see them this far south,” said Jessica Roame, education manager for Davey’s Locker and Newport Landing Whale Watching. “But it is rare because most of their food source…

You will find in the Hawaiian Islands, Aleutian Islands, Alaska; things like that area you will see albatross more frequently because there is so much more food up there.”

This albatross species is considered one of the smaller of the 22 albatross species but still has a wingspan that can reach over six feet.

These birds will spend about 90 percent of their time riding ocean winds on their impressive wing spans which allow them to travel great distances without so much as a flap, according to the Bird Life International website.

“They have that really beautiful large six-foot wingspan,” said Roame. “They hardly flap at all when they are in the wind. So, you just see them soaring.”

Aside from wingspan and soaring patterns, the species can also be identified by their stark coloration. They have an entirely white underside that stretches across their wingspan and dark graybrown markings across the top of their wings paired with an eyeliner-like marking around their eyes. These features set these birds apart from local marine life.

male presence with two of the females. To determine if assisted techniques could be used to recover sexual reproduction, artificial insemination was performed on a single female twice over three years using freshly collected samples. In addition, hatching success for eggs laid by all three females was monitored to compare natural and artificial insemination modes.

Some things have changed in the procedure as the Aquarium has gained more experience through the artificial insemination trials, and there are still many questions and variables to explore. Still, so far, the insemination steps are largely the same.

According to the Director of Public Relations for the Aquarium of the Pacific, Marilyn Padilla, different sample collection methods have been explored, the evaluation of the semen for quality has improved, and the Aquarium has learned about the storage limits of refrigerated samples and improved shipping methods.

Most importantly, the Aquarium is trying to figure out how to determine when the most appropriate time is to inseminate the females during the reproductive cycle to be the most successful.

According to Padilla, the Aquarium of the Pacific is believed to be the first Aquarium to perform a successful shark artificial insemination in the United States, which took place in 2009. The outcomes from this research could also be used to help recover endangered sharks in the wild. Dr. Adams began looking into artificial insemination to breed sharks in the early 2000s when the Aquarium opened its Shark Lagoon site. Successfully breeding sharks using artificial insemination would help make reproducing sharks safer in an aquarium setting, eliminate the need to transport male and female sharks to the same location, and help create a self-sustaining aquarium population.

During the study, the Aquarium compared artificial insemination with natural reproduction by housing a male zebra shark with two reproductively active females, but no sexually produced offspring resulted. As a result of the study’s two

The mats are made from 100 percent recycled material, featuring non-slip synthetic rubber developed to support wheeled pedestrian assistance vehicles, such as wheelchairs, beach access chairs, walkers, and strollers. In addition, the ADA-compliant mats are strong enough to withstand the weight of utility vehicle traffic.

The beach access mat installation was proposed to the Long Beach City Council last summer by Third District Councilwoman Suzie Price. It was co-sponsored by Councilwoman Zendejas and Councilwoman Allen and approved by the council.

There were a few different phases of approval this project required. Initial ap-

proval came when the City Council directed that department to explore the feasibility of this proposal on July 13, 2021.

“The beach access mats will make it easier for more people to enjoy our amazing beaches and marinas, and I can’t wait to see our community put them to good use,” said Councilwoman Suzie Price in the press release.

The beach access mats are located in the city’s waterfront districts and are colored blue to help guide the visually impaired and to be easily identifiable as ADA-accessible. In addition, the mats are available for public use year-round.

“The costs of the mats are $50K, but this cost does not account for the staff time, installation, and permits from the California Coastal Commission,” said Contreras.

artificial insemination procedures, the Aquarium became the first to successfully reproduce zebra sharks via artificial insemination when the facility’s female Fern laid fertile eggs that hatched in 2014. This was also the first successful reproduction of a large shark species through artificial insemination.

“Like all veterinary procedures conducted at the Aquarium, shark artificial insemination is performed in accordance with the Aquarium’s animal welfare policy to ensure the health, safety, wellbeing, and humane treatment of the animal,” said Padilla. “First, the Aquarium’s shark aquarists help guide the shark into a stretcher using a process the animal is trained to do through positive reinforcement. Once in the stretcher, the aquarists roll the shark into a belly-up position that induces tonic immobility, a relaxed state in which the shark’s muscles relax, and heart rate slows naturally. Dr. Adams performs an ultrasound to see if there are any eggs present in the shark’s oviducts, which would indicate whether the shark is ovulating and if it is a good time for a successful insemination. Next, he inserts a speculum into the shark’s cloaca, draws the semen sample into a catheter, and deposits the sample. The shark is then rolled back over and released from the stretcher and swims out.”

Two offspring resulted from this action, one of which still lives at the Aquarium in the Tropical Reef Habitat. This female, Gatsby, is now partaking in additional artificial insemination studies as a reproductive adult. The other shark was relocated to another Association of Zoos and Aquariums institution as part of the Species Survival Plan for zebra sharks.

The results of this study are now available to other zoo and aquarium professionals and scientists, allowing them to replicate Dr. Adams’ approaches and produce further data about artificial shark insemination. This is a growing area of interest in the industry and can help stimulate shark conservation. Dr. Adams continues studying artificial insemination with zebra sharks and other shark and ray species at the Aquarium.

This study specifically focused on egg-laying sharks. However, successful artificial insemination has been previously reported in other marine animals

CHULA VISTA— This festival has some

zest. On Aug. 13, Downtown Chula Vista’s Third Avenue will play host to the 25th Annual Lemon Festival.

The festival, which will run from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m., is a tribute to the city’s agricultural history.

In the 1920s, Chula Vista’s lemon production was booming, and the city proclaimed itself the “Lemon Capital of the World.”

Lemon production in Chula Vista first took off in 1889 when the San Diego Land and Town Company sold land to William Aaron Henry, Professor of Botany at the University of Wisconsin, and his nephew Daniel K. Adams, according to the San Diego Floral Association. The duo planted 16 acres of Eureka lemons in Chula Vista and found that the citrus thrived in the cooler coastal climate, and soon after, the crop became the main squeeze of the area.

In 1911, growers could make about $2,000 per acre from just growing Dress up in your best lemon-centric attire and The festival will feature lemon-flavored goodies lemons. In that enjoy a day out on the town. for all ages year alone, Chula Vista’s lemon sales exceeded $400,000 in gross sales, according to the association.

The lemon industry had a bitter end in Chula Vista when the housing industry uprooted the majority of lemon groves in the 1950s, and the zest is history.

To lemon-aid the city in remembering its history, they turn the street into a lemon-centered celebration.

This year’s festival will have two stages for live music, citrus-themed photo ops, a lemon cook-off competition, food, a kid zone for your seedlings, arts and crafts vendors, and a wine and beer garden.

Squeeze the day and join Chula Vista for a sub-lime celebration!

Zest up your life for the 25th Annual Lemon Festival.

Catalina Connection

Astronomy Experience Through Catalina Coastal Tours and Fishing CATALINA— Take a look at the night sky from Catalina with amateur Kathleen Hill Carlisle through the Astronomy Experience, a tour offered by Catalina Coastal Tours and Fishing.

Carlisle leads small groups of up to 15 people on an educational night sky tour over Catalina from Buena Vista Point.

Carlisle has 25 years of experience and an eight-inch in diameter telescope that she uses to teach groups about the history of astronomy, star lore, mythology, and the best tips and tricks for finding constellations.

Because of Catalina’s isolated position in the Pacific, the island is the per-

fect place for stargazing as it lacks the artificial light that is so prevalent on the mainland, making it a great place for star gazing.

This is a year-round tour, and depending on the time of year, visitors may be able to spot Saturn, who in Roman mythology represents the god of agriculture, or Jupiter, the Roman equivalent of Zeus and its moons.

According to Time and Date AS, a company based in Norway that focuses on providing times and dates around the world, as of Aug. 12, Jupiter and Saturn will be in perfect visibility above Catalina with a possibility of seeing Venus, Mars, and Uranus.

The tour starts at dusk and lasts roughly two hours; tickets are $55 for

considered the Eighth Wonder of the World, according to BigBear.com.

This original dam still exists today, about 50 yards upstream from a new dam built in 1910 by John Eastwood, an American engineer. Eastwood designed a replacement dam with a unique multiarch wall that, at its completion in 1912, stood 20 feet higher than the original Rock Dam. It also doubled the size of what we know as Big Bear Lake. When lake levels are low enough, the top of the Rock Dam can still be seen right above the surface.

With the new dam came the development of Big Bear’s tourism industry. The installation of roads into the valley came around 1910 and was finished by 1915, allowing access to the first toll road that made Big Bear accessible to anyone with a car.

Amenities like hotels, marinas, and The Village developed and snowballed. Finally, in 1916, the Bear Valley Land & Water Co made the lake accessible for boating and fishing.

BIG BEAR— Big Bear’s history began around 1845 after Benjamin Davis Wilson rode into the valley with an entourage of 20 men, who were searching for the suspects of a series of raids on ranches in Riverside, according to BigBear.com. When the men entered the valley, they discovered it was packed with big grizzly bears. The discovery led to Big Bear Lake’s present-day name to honor the big bears that called the valley home.

What was initially discovered by Wilson and named Big Bear Lake today refers to what is now Baldwin Lake.

The Big Bear Lake we know today did not exist until the late 1800s and early 1900s, and neighbors Baldwin Lake.

What you see on a map today as Big Bear Lake was created after a dam was constructed, and what you see on a map as Baldwin Lake was what was first discovered by Wilson and then later renamed once the dam created a larger body of water.

Initially, Big Bear Lake was not meant to be a tourist destination. It was created by a dam meant to irrigate water for farming. The first Rock Dam was designed and financed by Frank Elwood Brown, a citrus farmer who needed a reliable water source to irrigate his San Bernardino Valley farms; the dam was completed in 1884.

At the time, Brown created the largest artificial lake in the world, modern-day Big Bear Lake, and for a while, it was

Team Stevenson (NZL) crossing the finish line slightly in front of Team Petersen (USA) to win the 55th Governor’s Cup.

By: JORDAN B. DARLING NEWPORT BEACH— Five days of racing led to a first-time victory for Jordan Stevenson of New Zealand and teammates Mitch Jackson and George Angus against defending champs and newly crowned World Youth Match Racing Champs Jeffrey Petersen, Max Brennan, and Scott Mais.

Stevenson is ranked number 12 on World Sailing’s Open rankings premiering in the GovCup in 2019.

Stevenson faced off on the final day of racing against home team Petersen from Balboa Yacht Club.

Petersen started off strong on day one and held on tight throughout the week and into the finals giving Stevenson strong competition at the end.

Stevenson started with three wins on the first day and worked his way up to a tie for second place on day two, lined up with Jack Egan (USA), who went undefeated on day two, and Marius Westerlind (SWE).

By day three, Petersen and Stevenson had secured their semifinal slots, with Stevenson just one point behind the USA team at 14 points.

In the semifinal with Egan, Steven-

son took the lead and had a penalty to “kill,” which required him to either cause a penalty on Egan or complete an approximately 270-degree turn before the finish.

Stevenson allowed himself to be “caught” and then used the racing rules to gain an inside position at the BYC Race Committee boat, and not only prevented Egan from finishing but also stopped his opponent’s boat.

At that point, with greater initial speed, Stevenson could tack and then jibe, which would have killed the penalty.

However, his loss of speed and need to make the maneuver as soon as possible caused his boom to hit the port side of the Race Committee boat, resulting in another penalty. At the same time, Egan still stopped at the Race Committee boat, slid sideways, and hit its starboard side. At that point, Stevenson completed his second penalty turn and was awarded the victory.

Chief Umpire Flavio Naveira (ARG) said afterward that it was the “best I’ve ever seen in all the years I’ve been an umpire!”

Coming into the “first to three” point series in the finals against Petersen, StePlease see GOVERNOR'S CUP, PAGE 22

What to Do When Someone Says Mayday!

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

If you hear a distress message from a vessel that goes unanswered, you must answer. Experienced captains write down coordinates if they hear a pan-pan or a mayday, and they are ready to stop what they are doing and come to your assistance if in range.

The radio procedure is always to be scanning Channel 16. If you hear a distress call, press the 16 button, which locks in that channel. Then grab your logbook and pen, ready to record any information relayed from the radio. In addition, you should mentally try to locate the mayday site regarding your own position and prepare your crew and boat to immediately head in that direction if it is nearby.

Even in dire circumstances, bringing a second boat to the scene can make a huge difference. Each year, many on-thewater emergencies are assisted by good Samaritans who arrive on the scene before rescue crews.

Never assume that someone else will handle a mayday call. If you hear an un-

venson took races one and two and then took three tries to get that final point.

Petersen raised a red protest flag on race three after an incorrect rounding when the Race Committee moved one of the leeward “gate” marks to square the gate to the wind.

Since the move couldn’t be made by the time the boats were approaching the mark, that left a single mark, which needed to be rounded in a clockwise di-

answered call, immediately get on the radio, and acknowledge the mayday, boat name, boat location, and nature of distress. Then tr y to relay the mayday to the Coast Guard.

If a Mayday call is issued offshore and you are within range, immediately stop your onthe-water activities and head for the emergency location.

Recommendations and Warnings:

rection. Stevenson did so and started up the course.

Petersen then rounded in the other direction, and once he realized his mistake, he returned to round again. However, even then, he did not “unwind the string” of his first incorrect rounding and therefore had still not rounded the mark.

In the next race, Stevenson notably slowed down due to hitting a patch of kelp. At the end of the race, he found 88 pounds of kelp on the keel.

Petersen initially incurred a penalty during race three before the start. Still,

in shepherding Stevenson down the line before the starting gun, Stevenson made a critical mistake and was over the line when the gun went off.

As he returned to the line with no rights against Petersen, he committed a double penalty for an intentional foul, which meant he had to do his penalty turn immediately.

This action erased the penalty for Petersen but left Stevenson with one penalty turn to complete. His boat speed and tactics were again sufficient to eke out a lead, but it was unclear whether he had enough distance to finish his turn before

the hard-charging Petersen finished.

Stevenson and crew did an excellent job with the turn, but Petersen got a puff, then an overlap, and was surging past Stevenson.

The large spectator fleet had to wait for the Race Committee to raise a yellow flag indicating that the New Zealand team had won by two or three feet, giving Stevenson the Cup. The Governor’s Cup International Youth Match Racing Championship is presented by DISC Sports and Spine Center.

Ahoy sailors, last lesson we talked about your VHF (Very High Frequency) radio, how it works, how to use it, and how to send out a distress call. The second part of that lesson is how to properly respond when someone sends out a distress call and you are on the receiving end, what to do if you come across a vessel that is in an emergency, and what to do if you are in an emergency. Stay tuned for your next lesson which will discuss flares.

2022 U.S. Women’s Match Racing Championship By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

OYSTER BAY, NEW YORK— The 2022 U.S. Women’s Match Racing Championship w ill t a ke pla ce Aug. 19 -21 at the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club in Oyster Bay, New York.

The U.S. Women’s Match Racing Championship is a match race regatta for up to 10 all-female teams sailed on keelboats. The format includes a series of Qualifying Round Robin(s), Semi-Finals, and a Finals Series.

All competitors must be members of U.S. Sailing at the time of registration and during the event. In addition, international competitors must be members of U.S. Sailing or their members of their National Authority (MNA).

The U.S. Women’s Open Championship serves the interest of female sailors who wish to compete against other women at the national level in double and singlehanded boats. The regattas are organized along traditional one-design racing lines where boat preparation is a fac-

tor, and no eliminations are required.

An award ceremony will take place on Aug. 21 where the top three finishing teams will be awarded their medals and in addition, the top two teams will receive trophies. The winner will be awarded the Allegra Knapp Mertz Trophy, and the Mrs. Charles Francis Adams Memorial Trophy will be presented to the runner-up.

The event has applied for World Sailing (WS) Grade 3. This grading is subject to review by World Sailing. The event may be re-graded where there is apparent reason to do so. This event will be sailed in Sonar type boats.

The top placing eligible skipper (per U.S. Match Racing Championship Conditions) will be invited to the 2022 U.S. Match Racing Championship hosted by Oakcliff Sailing on Oct. 7-9. Should the qualifying skipper decline her spot to the 2022 USMRC, or already be invited, the spot will be filled by the USMRCC’s Invitation Committee process per the USMRC Conditions.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FISHING NEWS

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has instituted a status review for the Southern California steelhead and requests data or comments on a petition to list the fish as an endangered species under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA).

Southern California steelheads are found in streams from the Santa Maria River at the southern county line of San Luis Obispo County down to the U.S.-Mexico border. As defined in the CESA petition, Southern California steelhead includes anadromous (ocean-going) and resident (stream-dwelling) steelhead species with poor completion rates of migration in these streams.

Significant threats to Southern California steelhead include destruction, modification, and habitat fragmentation due to anthropogenic water use (dams or diversions to provide water for human use) and climate change impacts like increased stream temperatures and heightened drought conditions. Protecting the fish is important as the Southern California steelhead represents an important diversity component in California because of their unique adaptations, life histories, and genetics.

The Commission accepted the petition for consideration on April 21, 2021.

On June 14, 2021, California Trout petitioned the California Fish and Game Commission to list Southern California steelhead as an endangered species under CESA. On May 13 of this year, the Commission provided public notice that the Southern California steelhead is now a candidate species under CESA and will receive the same legal protection afforded to an endangered or threatened species.

CDFW now invites data and comments on the petitioned action, including Southern California steelhead ecology, genetics, life history, distribution, abundance, habitat, the degree, and immediacy of threats to its reproduction or survival, the adequacy of existing management or recommendations for managing of the species. Data or comments can be submitted via email to SCSH@ wildlife.ca.gov. The CDFW asks that you include “Southern California Steelhead” in the subject line. Submissions may also be sent to: CDFW Fisheries Branch Attn: Southern California Steelhead P.O. Box 944209 Sacramento, California 94244-2090 Submissions must be received by

CDFW Invites Public to Review Petition to List Southern California Steelhead as Endangered

Southern steelhead populations are in danger of extinction within the next 25-50 years due to anthropogenic and environmental impacts threatening their recovery.

Sept. 30. The CDFW has 12 months to review the petition, evaluate the best available scientific information relating to Southern California steelhead and make a recommendation to the Commission. The Commission will then place

receipt of the report on the agenda for the next available Commission meeting.

In addition, the report will be open to the public for that meeting, where the Commission will schedule the petition for further consideration.

“Hoot Owl” Hours for Sustainable Fishing During Drought With continued severe drought conditions, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is looking to anglers to implement “Hoot Owl” fishing practices to sustain and protect natural inland fisheries.

“Hoot Owl” refers to the active times of day when owls can still be heard hooting. These hours are typically earlier in the day before the heat starts to ramp up.

The term is used to describe guidelines for fishing during a drought which recommend that anglers complete their fishing activities before noon in certain inland waters to protect stock.

Currently, there are nine water sources in California where the CDFW recommends anglers adhere to “Hoot Owl” protocols, including Deep Creek in San Bernadino, which has a wild trout designation and is located roughly 60 miles from Los Angeles.

The regulations look to create sustainable fishing practices by not exposing catch and release fish to high temperatures, which can negatively

affect their survival. Cold water fish like trout, salmon, and steelhead can experience high stress levels, which can prove fatal if exposed to high temperatures.

“California’s drought cycles require all of us to work together to manage our fisheries,” said CDFW Inland Fisheries Manager Sarah Mussulman in a July 15 press release. “Multiple years of drought plus fluctuations in the timing of precipitation creates many challenges for our cold-water fish species. Anglers can play a part in lessening impacts to their favorite fishery by not fishing past noon during the hot summer months.”

The CDFW recommends a series of steps that can help to alleviate the stress felt by cold water fish during catch and release fishing, including:

¨

Minimize the time you spend “fighting” the fish and any hands-on handling.

¨

Use rubber or coated nylon nets to protect a fish’s slime layer and fins.

¨

Quickly remove the hook with forceps or needle-nosed pliers.

¨

Minimize the amount of time the fish

is exposed to air, especially when the weather is warm.

¨

Keep your hands wet when handling the fish.

¨

If the fish is deeply hooked, do not pull on the line. Instead, cut the line as close as possible to where it is hooked and leave the hook so it can dissolve.

Hoot Owl practices are meant to protect fish from potentially fatal stress brought on by hot temperatures.

¨

Allow the fish to recover in the net before you release it.

¨

If the fish does not stay upright when you release it, gently move it back and forth.

¨

cooler waters and bringing them into warmer waters at the surface if you intend to release them.

¨

Target fisheries that have stable water levels and species that are more resilient to elevated temperatures.

Avoid fighting fish from deeper,

FEATURED CATCH Feeling on Top! DANA POINT— It is the

beginning of August which means, Shark Week! who ha ha! In honor of my favorite week on Discovery Channel, check out this swell shark caught in Dana Point, which also marked this kiddo’s first fish ever caught!

“Remember your first fish?!!,” said a July 14 Dana Wharf Sportfishing post.

“This swell shark was this stoked youngster’s first fish. Capt. Pica held the shark for the photo, and it was released unharmed.”

SUMMER SEASON IS SURGING WITH BLUEFIN, YELLOWFIN, DORADO, YELLOWTAIL AND MARLIN BITING OFFSHORE!

By Bob Vanian of 976Bite.com SAN DIEGO— The summer fishing season continues to improve with lots of fun fishing found in offshore waters, along the coast, and around local islands. The offshore fishing continues to lead the way with a 200-mile stretch of ocean providing places between Santa Barbara Island and the offshore waters below and outside of Ensenada where one can target bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, dorado, yellowtail, and striped marlin.



Bluefin tuna continue to provide major highlights with the best bluefin fishing found in the waters off the back side of Catalina on up to the southeast of the Osborn Bank and to the southeast of Santa Barbara Island. This zone is providing good numbers of bluefin tuna ranging in size from 40 to 200-plus pounds. Most of the bluefin are found by locating spots of breaking or breezing fish with Nomad Madmac trolling jigs, spreader bar rigs, sardines, flying fish, stick baits, poppers, Colt Snipers and knife jigs producing bluefin. Of all those choices, most private boaters report doing best on the Nomad Madmac trolling jigs while being trolled at 11 to 14 knots.

Private boater Tom Golding of Last Buck reported about fishing a recent trip for the bluefin by the 711 Spot and the Osborn Bank. Golding reported very good fishing for quality-sized bluefin and said that they caught three bluefin including a 57-pound fish and two fish over 100 pounds. The 57-pound bluefin bit on a flylined sardine fished on a 40-pound test line and the two 100-plus pound fish bit on a 200-gram Nomad Madmac trolling jig in the sardine color.

the area 4 to 6 miles off the coast tends to be productive within this zone.



As you continue south there has been good mixed bag fishing for yellowtail, dorado, bluefin tuna, and yellowfin tuna that have been biting for boats fishing offshore waters between La Jolla and the 371 Bank located below and outside of Los Coronado Islands. As you go further down toward Ensenada and go below Ensenada the fishing changes and anglers have been finding very good fishing for yellowtail and dorado and have also had a chance at adding a few yellowfin or bluefin to their catch. Boats fishing this lower sector down towards Ensenada have been doing well working the area beginning in the region of the Upper Hidden Bank, 390 Bank and 475 Knuckle and then working on down from those areas to the offshore banks below and outside of Ensenada to where they are fishing around and below the 238 Spot, the 1010 Trench and the 483/500 Bank.



In addition to the good bluefin fishing up by Catalina, the Osborn Bank and Santa Barbara Island, the bluefin fishing off San Diego has also been very good at times and has also been producing larger-sized fish that go from 40 to 200-plus pounds. Best areas to try and focus on bluefin in the San Diego region have been the 9 Mile Bank, the 178 Spot, the end of the Ridge below the 182 Spot, the 224 Spot, the Coronado Canyon, the area 4 to 7 miles west to southwest of North Island, the 302 Spot, the 230 Spot and the 425 Bank.



Golding said their fish were hooked between 1:30- 7 p.m. in areas where the water temperature ranged from 67.64-68.64 degrees. The hookups were had to the northeast of the 711 Spot, to the southeast of the Osborn Bank and to the northeast of the Osborn Bank.

These areas had you fishing from 93 to 97 miles 278 to 287 degrees from Point Loma.

Private boater Ken Morris of Ken Dandy reported about fishing the offshore banks below and outside of the Coronado Islands. Morris was fishing with his friend Mark Backes aboard Mark’s boat December Girl. Morris said they had great weather and great fishing and that they limited out catching 1 yellowfin tuna, 4 dorado and 9 yellowtail.

Their yellowtail and dorado were nicesized fish with their dorado going up to 15 pounds and their yellowtail going up to 18 pounds.







As you go down the coast, the region ranging from the 14 Mile Bank in the Catalina Channel on down to Encinitas has provided an opportunity at dorado along with a few yellowtail for boats working kelp paddies and spots of breezing fish. The best catch from this zone that I know of was aboard Pronto out of the Oceanside Sea Center. The center posted about a three-quarter day trip with 12 anglers catching 47 dorado.

Captain Joe Cacciola of Sea Star with Sea Star Sportfishing and the Oceanside Sea Center reported that Oceanside Sea Center boats have been catching dorado around kelp paddies found between Camp Pendleton and Encinitas. Working

Morris said they caught most of their yellowtail and dorado at a kelp paddy found to the southeast of the 425 Bank at 29 miles 173 degrees from Point Loma.

Their yellowfin tuna was caught on a trolled Mexican Flag color feather while trolling to the southwest of the 425 Bank at 29 miles 190 degrees from Point Loma.



Marlin fishing has perked up with the ridge above the West End of Catalina and the 286 Spot located inside of the West End of Catalina being the best spots over the July 29 weekend. The 286 Spot was the best area over the last Please see FISH REPORT, PAGE 27

weekend in July with what I estimate to be four marlin caught and released on July 30. The last weekend of the month also saw a marlin caught and released above the West End of Catalina in the area between the 125 Spot and the 172 Spot. There were some tailers and feeders reported seen in these areas with most of the hookups coming from blind trolling strikes.

Recent days have also seen marlin activity found in other areas with a tailer seen by a boat fishing about 6 miles off Point San Mateo and with a lost marlin hookup reported on a sardine that was intended for dorado while fishing at a kelp paddy located 6 miles off Leucadia.

Close to San Diego, there was a marlin caught at the lower end of the 9 Mile Bank / Coronado Canyon area aboard Snooper with Chris Lapham at the helm. The angler that made the catch was David Verdugo who reported that it was a jig fish that bit on a dorado color jig. Verdugo reported that the fish put on a show in doing a lot of jumping and that it took 25 minutes to bring the marlin to the boat.

The fishing at Los Coronado Islands continues to be very good for a mix of yellowtail, barracuda, calico bass and an assortment of bottom fish species that have included reds, whitefish, salmon grouper, and an occasional lingcod.

The best of the yellowtail fishing has been reported by boats fishing along the weather side of North Island and at the Middle Grounds with the weather side of South Island and the South Kelp below South Island also producing occasional yellowtail. Private boaters have been doing well on yellowtail while slow trolling or drifting with sardines.

Oceanside Harbor. He also said that the Chubasco II out of the Oceanside Sea Center recently caught a 45-pound white seabass incidental to fishing for calico bass while fishing a kelp bed area below Oceanside.

range and with some bigger fish up to 40-plus pounds also a possibility.

Sardines, mackerel and surface iron have been good choices for yellowtail.

Private boaters have also had success when slow trolling mackerel or sardines.

Good choices for surface iron include Tady 45’s and Salas 7X lights in blue & white, sardine and mint colors.

The best spots for calico bass and barracuda have been at kelp bed areas at South Island and the Middle Grounds with the hard bottom at the north end of South Island also producing calico bass and barracuda. Sardines and surface iron have been good for the calico bass and barracuda. Good choices for surface iron for calico bass, barracuda and yellowtail include Tady 45’s and Salas 7X lights in the blue and white color combination, mint and sardine colors.

Cacciola says that they have had 5.5 to 7-inch sardines in their recent bait supply and that they have been chunking with sardines to help chum up a calico bass bite at various hard bottom and kelp bed spots. Cacciola says that the smaller sized sardines work well for bait for the calicos but says that they will often find their best calico bass fishing when baiting the hook with a sardine chunk. Cacciola mentioned a recent trip where they had 9 people aboard with just 4 people fishing and said those 4 anglers made a catch that included over 10 keeper sized calico bass.

Full story will be found online.

The fishing along the San Diego County coast has been good for a mix of calico bass, sand bass, reds, rockfish, sculpin, and whitefish along with a chance at catching a bonus yellowtail, lingcod, halibut, or white seabass. Good news is that the water conditions have improved in many areas to where there is now 73-degree clean green water reported at most kelp bed areas up and down the San Diego County coast.

Captain Joe Cacciola of Sea Star with Sea Star Sportfishing and the Oceanside Sea Center reports 72-73.5-degree water with improved calico bass fishing at kelp bed and hard bottom areas below

Productive areas for calico bass include the Point Loma Kelp Beds, the La Jolla Kelp Beds, Del Mar, Leucadia, Carlsbad and the Barn. What has been a key to finding a good calico bass bite is to find a kelp bed area where you find your warmest and cleanest water with a moderate downhill current flow.

The upper end of La Jolla has been the best zone to try for a yellowtail along the San Diego County coast and yellows have been located anywhere from the kelp line on out to 25 fathoms.

The yellowtail biting at La Jolla have been good-sized fish with a good percentage being up in the 15 to 20-pound
