BIZARRE

Living Fossils Thrive on Ocean Floor HONSHU, JAPAN — A symbiotic rela-

tionship between two marine lifeforms thought to be extinct for 273 million years was found on the ocean floor.

The two creatures had disappeared from the fossil record for hundreds of millions of years before scientists documented the species in a June 15 study.

Off the coast of Honshu and Shikoku, Japan at depths exceeding 300 feet scientists found non-skeletal corals growing from the stalks of a species of crinoids known as the Japanese sea lily, a marine invertebrate found off the west coast of Japan generally on the continental shelf.

The Japanese sea lily has wide feathery feeding arms attached to a U-shaped mouth.

This symbiotic relationship is a parallel of one between coral and crinoid recorded in fossils from the Paleozoic era.

“These specimens represent the first detailed records and examinations of a recent syn vivo association of a crinoid (host) and a hexacoral (epibiont),” said the team in the June 15 study. “And therefore

After the disappearance of the specific crinoids and corals, other species emerged but there wasn’t documentation of a symbiotic relationship between the two until this year.

Scientists have discovered that the corals attached below the feeding fans of the crinoids, and don’t seem to compete with their counterpart for food, there is

Zapalski et al., Palaeogeogr. Palaeoclimatol. Palaeoecol., 2021

analyses of these associations can shed new light on our understanding of these common Paleozoic associations.”

Symbiotic relationships between crinoids and corals are documented throughout the Paleozoic era, a geological time that began with the Cambrian explosion and is associated with an extraordinary diversification of marine animals.

Non-skeletal corals were found growing from the stalks of sea lilies off the coast of Japan.

also no clear benefit for the sea lily.

The difference between the prehistoric relationship and the modern age is that the coral does not alter the skeletal structure of its host.

Scientists believe that this discovery can explain the gap in the fossil record, fossils from the Paleozoic showed that corals have a calcite skeleton, fossils of non-skeletal corals are rare.

Leaving scientists wondering if the corals didn’t modify the host to leave a trace, then perhaps the relationship just went unrecorded.

The study was a joint effort from a Polish-Japanese research team and was led by Mikoaj Zapalski, a paleontologist from the University of Warsaw, Poland.

The team used stereoscopic microscopy to study and observe the specimens and non-destructive microtomography to scan the species to show its interior structure and DNA barcoding to identify the species.

“If any of the involved parties can be identified, could the area be treated as a hazmat site, with cleanup and remediation paid for by those responsible?”

A

I couldn’t find any definitive information about a hazmat site or if the companies could be identified or held accountable.

What I did find is that one of the companies has already been identified, Montrose Chemical Corporation, a DDT Manufacturing plant in Torrance

the coast offshore down into Baja and across Hawaii it may be prevalent still in the local seabed but the solvents/ propellants have long dissipated. Stirring up the sentiment at that depth would most likely introduce further contamination I believe.

Not a lot of critters feed at those depths from the sediment and any that did 50-90 years ago probably adapted to shallower areas perished or just got through it. Our oceans definitely need protection and mostly from humans interfering with how it deals with life messing with it.

FAST FACTS

Memorial Day: A History By: JORDAN B. DARLING UNITED STATES — Memorial Day became a federal holiday in 1971, but its roots trace back to the end of the Civil War. In May 1868, General John A. Logan, commander-in-chief of a veterans’ group known as the Grand Army of the Republic, declared that May 30 should become a nationwide day of commemoration for the more than 620,000 soldiers killed in the war.

Originally called Decoration Day, Logan said that Americans should lay flowers and decorate the graves of soldiers lost in the war.

There are two schools of thought on the date; Logan chose May 30 because it was a rare day that didn’t fall on the anniversary of a Civil War battle; or May 30 ensured that flowers across the country would be in full bloom.

According to History.com, Logan’s wife said that Logan was inspired by women’s groups across the south that were gathering informally to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers.

America embraced Decoration Day from the start and in the first years 27 states held some sort of ceremony. By 1890 the holiday had been adopted as an official holiday by every former state of the

Union. Initially it was only to remember those that were lost in the Civil War but was expanded to include all those lost in war after the United States entered World War I. World War I brought along another tradition to Memorial Day, red poppies. A Canadian Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae spotted a group of red poppies standing out amongst the battle-ravaged landscape in Northern France and Flanders.

McCrae wrote a poem called “In Flanders Field” inspired by the red poppies and the soldiers buried beneath them.

A Georgia school teacher named Moina Michael was inspired by the poem and launched a campaign to make the poppy a symbol of tribute to all who died in the war.

In 1971, Decoration Day was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress, and placed on the last Monday of May, changing the original date from May 30.

As is tradition, the American flag should be hung at half-staff until noon on Memorial Day, then raised to the top of the staff.

And in 2000 U.S. Congress passed legislation for a National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m.

It’s important to remember and honor the soldiers, sailors, and airmen that gave their lives fighting for our country and our freedom.

On Board With Johnson

By Jordan B. Darling that had logs documenting the reported dumping of 1,700 tons of DDT off of the Palos Verde peninsula between 1947 and the early 1970s.

On Dec. 20, 2000, the Los Angeles Times reported that four chemical companies including Montrose entered into a settlement for $73 million to help restore the ocean environment off of Southern California.

The payments were to go to The Environmental Protection Agency to clean up the contamination.

The suit was originally filed in 1990 and in 1996, the EPA declared the ocean off of Palos Verdes a national Superfund site, according to the Los Angeles Times article. It was designated

as one of the country’s most hazardous sites.

As part of the agreement, the EPA cannot seek future funds from Montrose and the other defendants for offshore work.

According to the 2000 article, it was decided that removing the DDT would be a logistical nightmare and the EPA was expected to cover part of the deposit with a layer of sand dredged from the nearby harbor.

The study that was conducted this year shows that there was debris further out to sea and now there is a call for an expedited cleanup of the DDT by the Los Angeles County of Supervisors, according to a May 4 article from the Patch.

LEGAL ADVICE

2C California’s Boating and Fishing News

2C DARK BKGND

Should I buy the boat through an LLC?

QUESTION:

I am considering the purchase of a boat that is titled in a Delaware LLC. I have completed sea trial and survey and we are preparing to close pursuant to the provisions of the yacht purchase agreement, but the broker suggested that I consider the purchase of the LLC itself. He indicated that this would allow me to avoid payment of California sales or use tax and to continue the liability protections that are available through LLC ownership.

Can you offer some guidance as to the significant issues that I should be aware of in this type of transaction?

ANSWER: We are often asked to comment on the pros and cons of ownership of a boat by a corporation or LLC, and I will note at the outset that it’s not for everyone. However, before we get into the pros and cons of owning or buying a boat through a business entity - whether a corporation or LLC - we need to address a logistical issue raised by our reader.

He indicated that the parties are preparing to “close” the deal pursuant to the provisions of the vessel purchase agreement, but that he is now considering the purchase of the LLC that owns the boat. He needs to slow down a bit. If the parties close pursuant

to the provisions of the vessel purchase agreement, the LLC won’t own the boat anymore, since the purchase agreement calls for the current owner to sell the boat to the buyer. The buyer would therefore own the boat in his own name rather than in the name of the LLC, and he would be purchasing a company with no assets.

If an LLC purchase is being contemplated, the parties should put the brakes on the vessel purchase - - - if that’s possible. At this late date the buyer is likely obligated to purchase the boat or risk losing his deposit for breach of

LATEST NEWS UPDATES

blips on the radar

By Jordan B. Darling

Invasive Algae Species in Newport WHAT HAPPENED : In an April 22 press release

the California Department of Fish and Wildlife reported an invasive species of algae in Newport Bay. The species of Caulerpa was found by a diver at the Entrance Channel area and was later identified by the California Department of Food and Agriculture as Caulerpa prolifera.

The diver was a videographer for OC Parks and caught the algae on camera in October, but it was not until the diver returned for a second shoot in March that the algae caused alarm.

Leaf Caulerpa, as it is known, is native to Florida and other subtropical areas, and is commonly used in macro tanks as a sand bed cover and its seagrass-like appearance.

The algae can grow up to 6 feet in length and is identified by its dark green, slender, oval-shaped blades.

While the algae is not harmful to humans, the CDFW is concerned about the algae overrunning local environments by choking out native seaweeds and potentially causing a loss of habitat for local marine animals.

The algae can produce through fragmentation, when small pieces break off and take root, which means that they can spread quickly and through minimal contact.

The algae is closely related to another species of caulerpa, Caulerpa taxifolia or Killer Alga that was found in California waters in 2000.

The species was extremely harmful, aside from its invasive nature, it had a toxic effect on local marine life.

The species was eradicated from California in 2006 after a six-year project and it ultimately cost $7 million.

In the April 22 press release from the CDFW, the department announced they had deployed a team of divers to identify and map the location of the species and determine if it had spread.

WHAT’S ON TAP : The Newport Harbor Com-

mission met on May 12 and heard from Chris Miller, Newport Beach public works manager and member of the Southern California Caulerpa Action Team, to discuss the next steps to get rid of the Caulerpa prolifera.

The team was created after Caulerpa taxifolia was discovered in the early 2000s.

Miller is working with his team and several other agencies including the Army Corp of Engineers and the CDFW to survey and create a plan to eradicate the algae from the China Cove where it is located.

The discovery of the Caulerpa came days before Newport Beach was supposed to start their dredging project. The field of the algae is directly adjacent to the last part of the set dredging project.

Miller and his team have a vague plan to vacuum and then dredge the field.

Ideally the area will be vacuumed to catch floating biomass and then three to four inches of sediment will be dredged and put into mesh bags that will allow the water to be drained before the bag and the sediment inside are removed to a landfill.

Currently Miller’s team is conducting surveys to discover the extent of the algae and to track the spread.

There is also the funding that has come into question, the CDFW and SCCAT are looking at state funds like a cleanup and abatement fund that is overseen by the water board.

Miller estimated that the eradication of the algae is around $200,000, not including the cost for continued surveys that would go on in the coming months.

For right now, the area is cordoned off to create a swim line and visible boundary for the public to steer clear.

There are also yellow signs posted at the staircase entrance to China Cove to alert the public.

Miller predicts that the project could take between one to two weeks but they are still working on a set and detailed plan.

LONG BEACH AND L.A. HARBORS Release Study Showing

GROWING NUMBER OF SPECIES

By: JORDAN B. DARLING LOS ANGELES — The Ports of Los Angeles

and Long Beach released the results of a 2018 biological joint study that recorded more than 1,000 different species of marine life in San Pedro Bay including 150 species that were not previously recorded.

A surprise discovery in the survey was the recording of three new species of abalone including one endangered abalone that judging by size had been there for 20 years or so, according to Kat Prickett, the marine environmental supervisor of the water group and the environmental management division of the Port of Los Angeles.

The ports contracted out to Wood, an environmental and infrastructure solutions consulting firm, to run the survey.

The survey had four key objectives that ranged from surveying biological communities in port complex habitats to documenting non-native species present in the port complex.

“This study, like the previous Biosurveys, has four key objectives,” said the study, which was published in April of this year. “ 1) to describe the biological communities of the various habitats in the Port Complex; 2) to describe how those communities have changed over time; 3) to describe how those communities compare among different habitats and sub-regions within the Port Complex and to the greater Southern California coastal region and; 4) to document the occurrence of non-native species in the Port Complex.”

The survey is the fourth in a series of joint-port comprehensive surveys that are run in the bay every five years starting in the year 2000.

Port of Los Angeles/Wood PLC

Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors released their 2018 harbor-wide biological survey documenting over 150 new species in San Pedro Bay.

The biological survey is the fourth in the series of surveys the ports conduct every five years.

There were previous studies completed over the past 70 years but they were solely focused on one port or the other, earliest studies documented degrading conditions in the harbor that were practically devoid of marine life as a result of unchecked pollution.

Starting in the mid-1970s it was reported that conditions steadily improved after the passing of the 1972 Clean Water Act, which established a basic structure for regulating pollutants in U.S. waters and regulated the quality standards for surface waters.

The string of studies showed the return of marine life to San Pedro Bay and new life that was not previously documented. The ports are taking this as a good sign that things are continuing to improve in the port complex.

“A couple of key takeaways,” said Matt Arms, director of environmental planning at the Port of Long Beach. “I think one of them is that it again showed that... the harbors are continuously improving from survey to survey. The amount of biodiversity we are seeing, and habitat, and marine life we are seeing demonstrates that the harbor and the water quality are improving.”

To collect the samplings, the survey used several stations throughout the Port Complex that concentrated on the habitats available. The survey covered Pelagic

habitats, soft-bottom habitats, hard substrates, birds, and mammals.

The survey also used a series of new or altered techniques that Wood felt optimized the results, through adding habitats to the survey or refining their techniques for collecting fish eggs.

“For hard structure we do a lot a dive work... there is one area where we increased the type of surveys we did,” said Prickett. “This time we added our pilings, and extended the way we look at things.

We used to do these scrapes, and now we do this regional methodology on a much wider view point.”

The study’s findings are available to the public and the city will be working on outreach to provide more tangible information. “...This time around the Port of Los Angeles is going to be producing a website for people walking around the ports that they can get on their phone,” said Prickett. “Maybe they are at a sign and they can scan a QR code and see what is really underneath the water. So much of what they can see is at the surface they don’t really get to see what is living and vibrant underneath the water we are hoping to bring that to the public.”

LOCAL Two Fireworks Shows Planned for Redondo Beach July 4 Celebration REDONDO BEACH— There were no Fourth of July fireworks shows in Redondo Beach last year and now this year, there will be two. The City Council on May 4 voted to host its traditional fireworks show and also gave the approval for a local business association to hold its own display after an all-day event.

The city’s 20-minute show will be a land-based display located behind Seaside Lagoon. Although Seaside Lagoon will be open on July 4 for regular operations, there will not be a hosted holiday event as in past years. The show will cost the city $29,500.

The City Council also green-lighted the Riviera Village Association’s proposed show, which will be on a barge off of Avenue I, near the Esplanade. In addition to the fireworks, the RVA plans to host “4th of July Fireworks & Festival for a FUN21”, an all-day event on Avenue I between Catalina Avenue and the Esplanade that will include a music stage, beer garden, and food vendors.

Port of San Diego Inks Two More Leases in Seaport Village, Reaches 90 Percent Occupancy SAN DIEGO— The Port of San Diego

Board of Port Commissioners has approved two new leases in Seaport Village. Zytoun Gourmet Mediterranean and Old Harbor Distilling Company are the latest locally owned-and-operated businesses to join the San Diego Bay waterfront shopping, dining, and entertainment center.

Zytoun Gourmet Mediterranean will operate a full-service Greek and Mediterranean restaurant along the boardwalk in the Carousel District of Seaport Village with an outdoor, wraparound patio. Old Harbor Distilling Company will open its second San Diego location in Seaport Village’s Lighthouse District with a craft tasting room combined with a fast-casual seafood restaurant concept offering chowders, lobster rolls, and fish plates.

“Our more than $2 million investment in enhancing and elevating the Seaport Village experience continues to pay off with the addition of Zytoun Gourmet Mediterranean and Old Harbor Distilling Company,” said Michael Zucchet, chair of the Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners, in a released statement.

Renovations for both Zytoun and Old Harbor are anticipated to begin in the fall, with opening targeted for spring/summer 2022. With the two new leases, 63 of the approximately 71 spaces at Seaport Village are currently filled, 17 of those spaces have been filled since the Port began revitalizing the village. The Port began managing the 14-acre tourist-and visitor-serving site in September 2018.

WORLD/NATION U.S. and E.U. Reach Agreement to Halt Tariff Increase on American Boats Entering Europe UNDATED — On May 17 the United States and European Union announced an agreement to suspend the looming tariff increase on U.S. boats and engines making their way to the E.U. The agreement came just days before June 1, when the 25 percent tariff was scheduled to increase to 50 percent.

The effort was coordinated by the European Boating Industry (EBI), National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), and the International Council of Marine Industry Associations (ICOMIA).

“On behalf of the 35,000 businesses and 700,000 American jobs supported

by our industry, we are grateful that U.S. and E.U. negotiators reached an agreement to prevent the doubling of retaliatory tariffs on uniquely American-made industries like boat building,” said Frank Hugelmeyer, president of the NMMA, in a released statement. “The existing 25 percent tariffs on American boats heading to Europe have slashed our industry’s exports to the trading bloc – our second largest international market – in half and doubling them would have essentially eliminated our remaining European exports.”

NMMA said their team will continue engaging with negotiators on both sides of the Atlantic and its European counterparts the weeks and months ahead to ensure the industry’s concerns are addressed in a final agreement.

“When sailors lef t their homes to voyage across the sea, oftentimes they faced dangerous and extreme working conditions, horribly cramped quarters, and a journey that could stretch months to years,” wrote CIMM in the event description.

“When stuck in these difficult and wearisome circumstances, some sailors used art to express themselves.”

CIMM said several of the items featured in the exhibi-

the purchase agreement. This is therefore an element of a vessel purchase transaction that needs to be considered at the beginning rather than waiting until the last minute.

With these logistical issues in mind let’s take a look at the transaction itself.

We should first point out that sales and use tax are essentially the same thing.

Use tax is sometimes confused with the annual assessment of property tax, but sales and use tax are both assessed at the time of the purchase of personal property, and they are assessed at the same rate.

The only real difference is that sales tax is assessed on the retail purchase of a new asset while use tax is assessed on the purchase of a previously owned asset.

In California, the purchase of a corporation or LLC that owns a boat as its sole asset is not subject to the assessment of sales or use tax (for the purposes of this discussion there is little difference between a corporation and an LLC). This is because sales and use tax are not assessed on the purchase of corporate securities or the purchase of part or all of a business entity.

The purchase of an LLC that owns a boat is exempt from the tax assessment because, when the business entity is sold, there is no change in the title or ownership of the company’s assets. Since the boat is still owned by the LLC, there is no purchase or sale of the boat and nothing to assess sales or use tax against.

This tax exemption works only when

the LLC already owns the boat. Business entities are taxpayers like everyone else, and the LLC’s acquisition of an asset such as a boat will be subject to the assessment of sales or use tax unless it qualifies for an exemption.

We should also note that the ownership of a boat by an LLC as the company’s sole asset is unlikely to provide any special protection against legal liability. A “corporate shield” against personal liability may exist for a corporation or LLC that operates a legitimate business, but here we are talking about a company with no business purpose whose sole asset is a recreational vessel. In the event of a lawsuit against the owner of the vessel, a plaintiff’s attorney may be able to “pierce the corporate veil” and pursue the shareholders personally, as if the business entity did not exist.

Another logistical issue concerns the broker’s involvement in the transaction.

In California, a broker who represents parties in the purchase and sale of a company or business opportunity must be licensed by the Department of Real Estate.

A California Yacht and Ship Broker’s license is required for the sale of a yacht, but as noted above the yacht in these transactions is not actually being sold.

So, with all of this in mind, we can see that ownership of a boat by a corporation or LLC is not for everyone. As noted above it may provide a buyer with a tax exemption, and depending on your personal circumstances it may offer other benefits, but buyers and sellers should discuss the structure with their legal or tax advisors before proceeding.

with tremendous, pent-up demand,” said Bryan Petro, chief operating officer for GetMyBoat, in a released statement. “There has always been a significant desire for boating experiences, but last year really amplified the need for customers to get out on the water quickly, easily, and safely. Due to travel limitations and lockdowns that continue in other parts of the world, I’m excited to say we have not yet come close to tapping our full potential. Many global markets are still at least partially closed, and we expect that our business will further increase in the coming months as more locations ease restrictions.”

Launched in San Francisco in January 2013, GetMyBoat is a marketplace where owners of every type of boat, from kayaks to sailboats and motorboats, can post their watercraft for rent or charter for free.

Newport Beach will replace portions of the public walkway on the waterside development at 2806 and 2804 Lafayette Avenue. The city’s Local Coastal Program requires a continuous lateral public walkway along the Rhine Channel in this area of Newport Harbor.

Coastal Commission Issues Permit to Replace Public Walkways, Floating Dock in Newport Beach Harbor The permit will allow for a like-forlike replacement of the concrete public walkways at 2806 and 2804 Lafayette Avenue and construction of a public pier platform, gangway, and floating dock at 29th street.

By: LINDSEY GLASGOW N E W P O R T B E A C H — The California Coastal Commission has issued a coastal development permit to the city of

Newport Beach to replace two stretches of a public walkway along the Rhine Channel that were deemed structurally unstable and to construct a new public pier platform, gangway, and floating dock at the end of 29th street in Newport Beach.

The approved project will remove and replace like-for-like portions of the public walkway on the waterside development at 2806 and 2804 Lafayette Avenue, which are currently blocked off. The Coastal Commission has issued public access violations to the property owners at these sites for fences blocking the walkways.

The project will also remove a gangway and floating dock at the end of 29th street that had primarily been utilized for commercial uses, and construct a new public pier platform, gang-

way, and floating dock.

The city’s Local Coastal Program requires a continuous lateral public walkway between the development portion and the public waters of the Rhine Channel in this area of Newport Harbor. In 2019, a pier platform and vertical segment of the public walkway at the 2806 Lafayette Ave. collapsed into the bay and the city put up a fence blocking the area.

In June 2019, Commission enforcement staff sent a Notice of Violation to the property owner for the erection of the unpermitted fence. Commission staff noted that the city’s installation of a fence to prevent public access at this location was undertaken without a CDP, but upon request from Commission staff, the city provided a report from their structural engineer which proved that the pier platform was structurally compromised and unsafe for public use.

The city has proposed to reconstruct the lateral walkway that collapsed but is not proposing to reconstruct a vertical segment of the pier platform that used to extend into the bay. In lieu of rebuilding that segment, the city has proposed to remove

a gangway and floating dock at the end of 29th street, which is approximately 215 feet east of the project site, and construct a new public pier platform, gangway, and floating dock. The new public facility would be operated and maintained by the city and consist of a 35 square-foot public pier platform w ith a 30-foot-long gangway leading to a 40-foot-long public floating dock. Both sides of the proposed public floating dock would be available for short-term tie-up for boats of all sizes. The public floating dock would provide visitor access to and from the shoreline and the public would also be able to utilize the pier platform as a viewing platform along the

waterfront.

The approved CDP will also allow the city to replace the public walkway on the seaward side of the property at 2804 Lafayette Ave. due to concerns about deep cracks observed in the surface of the walkway. Commission enforcement staff also sent a Notice of Violation to the property owner of 2804 Lafayette for putting up a fence across the public walkway and placing “Private Property – No Trespassing” signs along and adjacent to the public walkway. Once the subject site is repaired, the chainlink fence will be removed and the walkway reopened to the public.

By: LINDSEY GLASGOW NEWPORT BEACH— The Newport Beach Harbor Commission has once again revisited the city’s policy dictating the circumstances in which a dock or float can extend past the pier headline. The Commission was asked by the City Council to review Policy H-1, Harbor Permit Policy, for clarification after a recent dock extension approved by the Commission was called for review by a city councilmember.

Policy H-1 is intended to layout the process for exceptions to a city rule that prohibits piers and floats from extending beyond the pierhead line.

Commissioners Gary Williams and Don Yahn, who were on a subcommittee tasked with looking at Policy H-1, brought proposed changes to the Commission at its May 12 meeting. Proposed changes included adding language explicitly stating that all of the five conditions laid out in the policy must be met in order for a permit to be approved for a pier or float to extend bayward beyond the pierhead. They also suggested replacing a condition that the existing pier or float was legally previously permitted to encroach bayward beyond the pierhead line with a condition that city has not issued any Notice of Violation for the existing pier or float encroaching bayward beyond the pierhead line.

Commission Chair Bill Kenney suggested replacing the requirement that all conditions be met with taking the following conditions into consideration, to

allow for more flexibility. The Commission ultimately asked the subcommittee go back and review one of the previous versions of Policy H-1 and come back with new suggestions at a later meeting.

The City Council had asked the Commission to review the policy after several recent applications heard by the Harbor Commission led to confusion about making a determination of what should be allowed. In November 2020, City Councilmember Jeff Herdman called for a review of the Harbor Commission’s approval of a dock reconfiguration at the eastern tip of Lido Isle.

When the float was constructed in 1989, it was not permitted to extend past the pierhead line but was built 7 feet past it, according to a staff report. This raised questions about whether a recent application to reconfigure the dock, which would also extend 7 feet past the pierhead line, should be approved since not all the conditions laid out in H-1 were met.

“My position personally was the dock was built, there was permit, it must have been inspected, if the city didn’t catch the fact that it was 7 feet beyond the pier headline when it was inspected upon completion, then I think by right that permittee has the right to continue to extend,” said Kenney at the meeting.

One of the biggest challenges has been the number of docks and floats that have extended beyond the pierhead line since their construction and whether or not they should be grandfathered in regardless if they were permitted or not. Commissioner Scott Cunningham asked for a rough estimate about how many docks in the harbor today extend past the pierhead line and Newport Beach Public Works Department Administrative Manager Chris Miller guessed about 25 percent.

The H-1 Policy was established in 1964 and has been revised 62 times since then. Another round of proposed edits to the policy from the subcommittee is expected to come before the Commission at its June meeting.

By: JORDAN B. DARLING OCE ANSIDE — Oceanside released an

immersive 360-degree video and tour of the San Luis Rey Water Reclamation Facility, and new home of Pure Water Oceanside which is set to go online in 2022.

The video was released as part of “Water Awareness Month” and is a stepby-step tour of the water purification process, with a unique 360-view of the facility.

By turning your phone, you can see a view of the plant from all directions while hearing a narration of the process.

“The video is intended to provide as much of a real experience as you can without someone actually being on site,” said Cari Dale, water utilities director for the city of Oceanside. “...It is a really unique way to experience the treatment facility without being there, and with the pandemic this is a valuable tool for us to reach out to the community to let people know about the project and what we’re doing at the San Luis Rey plant.”

Plant Supervisor Mike Campos leads the audience through a six-minute tour of the facility and the various steps the water goes through before being pumped out back to the community.

The water is flowed back to the community through purple pipes, to golf courses, the sports park, and the bird sanctuary, according to Campos.

The tour is a brief overview and explanation of the project that explains where the water starts in the Headworks, which removes physical objects like plastics and other garbage from the water, its then flowed through a series of steps before being moved to the final step of disinfec-

tion which leads through the Chlorine Contact Basin, CCB, and is then pumped out into the purple pipes and back to the city.

The water is used at places like golf courses, the sports park, and the bird sanctuary.

The facility treats eight million gallons of water a day, and the new reclamation plant treats up to three million gallons a day, according to Campos.

Participants also get a brief glimpse of the construction site where Pure Water Oceanside will be located.

Pure Water Oceanside is an advanced water purification facility that will create purified drinkable water to the community and is set to be online in 2022.

The facility will treat 4.5 million gallons of recycled water a day and will be the first of its kind in San Diego County, according to Dale.

The $71 million project is part of Oceanside’s goal to reduce dependence on imported water sources and create a local and sustainable water source for Oceanside.

Right now, Oceanside’s water supply is imported from the Sacramento Bay Delta and the Colorado River, this leaves the city susceptible to drought and other natural disasters that could affect the water supply.

Ideally this project, once online, will provide 30 percent of the city’s water supply according to the Pure Water Oceanside website.

The recycled water will go through a five-stage process that will remove particles, filter out bacteria and other chemicals, at stage four the water is injected into the Mission Basin where it will be extracted and treated again at the Mission Basin Groundwater Purification Facility.

Oceanside’s video tour is part of the city’s public outreach to garner support for the program and raise public awareness for the project.

“Really we are garnering support for the project and making sure people understand the value of water,” said Dale.

“One of our goals is really outreach to the community and further understanding of where their tax dollars are being spent.”

LA JOLLA— In a first of its kind study, a

team of researchers have found the diving sector in Mexico generates gross revenues of approximately $725.16 million annually, an economic impact on par with the fishing industry.

The results of the research were published in a paper in the April 2021 edition of Marine Policy.

“Despite the number and popularity of diving destinations in Mexico, no study

has previously estimated the economic importance of this industry for the Mexican case,” wrote the authors in the paper.

The team used Google searches to pull information about dive sites and dive shops, using verified results from tourism and diving operators’ websites, websites for diving-related magazines, peer-reviewed scientific publications, and gray literature in their study.

They then traveled all around Mexico conducting surveys, gathering data on revenues, operation costs, how many customers operators have every week and the prices they charge. They then calculated estimated diving operators’ revenues per region based on the number of diving operators, the average number of clients per year, and the average price of one trip.

The resulting outcome was a database of 264 diving operators and 860 diving sites, of which 51.51 percent were found to be located inside protected natural areas, 6.74 percent within a no-take zone, and Please see MEXICO, PAGE 27

This summer the city of Redondo Beach will allow up to three temporary use permits for stand-up paddleboard instruction and rental in King Harbor for businesses without brick-and-mortar locations.

Redondo Beach Harbor Commission Votes to Continue Temporary Use Permits for SUP Instruction, Rental The temporary use permit process was started in 2018 for stand-up paddleboard instruction and equipment rental businesses without brickand-mortar facilities in King Harbor as an effort to bridge the gap until the city was able to resume leasing commercial space.

By: LINDSEY GLASGOW REDONDO BEACH— The city of Redondo

Beach will continue to allow temporary use permits for stand-up paddleboard instruction and rentals in King Harbor this summer. The Harbor Commission voted unanimously at its May 10 meeting to direct staff to continue the temporary use permit process this summer season with a limit of three permits and agreed they would revisit it again next year.

The temporary permit system was approved in May 2018 by the City Council and was intended to allow stand-up paddleboard instruction and equipment rental businesses to operate in King Harbor without brick-and-mortar offices until the city was able to resume leasing commercial space, which was limited due to on-going litigation.

The Harbor Commission had recommended the temporary use permit because a number of businesses were using both on-site and online reservation systems to book customers for instructional classes and delivery of rental equipment to King Harbor without any contractual or permitting authority from the city.

All commercial ventures within the city’s waterfront require some form of regulatory or contractual relationship with the city that requires, among other things,

that the businesses carry insurance, provide indemnification, and pay rental fees to the city.

The temporary use permit set forth similar requirements, including a permit fee of $1,000 per month.

Leasing, along with revitalization planning, has now resumed in the harbor and staff sought input from the Harbor Commission on the continued use of the temporary use permit process for SUPs ahead of the summer season. Stephen Proud, Redondo Beach’s director of waterfront and economic development, noted asking the operators to move into a brick-and-mortar location for this summer may be a challenge due to the impacts of COVID-19.

Commissioner Roger Carlson said he thought it made sense to keep the temporary permit for this summer season as revitalization plans will likely bring construction and changes to King Harbor.

“We really shouldn’t change it this year until we look at what we’re doing in Moonstone Park and the rest of the amenities because that could really impact this and unfortunately really hurt these SUP businesses,” said Carlson at the meeting.

The city has generally issued two permits per season but Proud said there continues to be businesses operating without a permit and on-going enforcement of the permit process remains a challenge.

“I’d hate to stop the permitting process and still have the shops not getting permits still doing what they’re doing, so you kind of hate to punish the one guy getting the permit,” said Carlson.

Proud said staff has also received several complaints from members of the public over the past few seasons about operators, both permitted and unpermitted, storing their equipment on the ramp and hand launch dock creating access issues for other users.

By: LINDSEY GLASGOW SAN DIEGO — The Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners unanimously approved an ordinance amending the section of district code regulating Six Pac charters to include all charter operations in San Diego Bay and district tidelands at its May 11 meeting.

The approved ordinance requires all charter vessels and operators meet safety requirements, provide adequate insurance, comply with all applicable laws and U.S. Coast Guard regulations, charters using tenant marinas and landings to display a decal on their vessels, and prohibits all charters from using the port’s public facilities for loading and unload-

All types of charters operating in the San Diego Bay are now subject to new regulations, which include safety requirements, a prohibition on using the port’s public facilities for loading and unloading passengers and a requirement that charters using tenant marinas and landings display a decal on their vessels. ing. Violations can be enforced starting July 1, except decal display, which will be enforceable starting Sept. 1.

“We are confident that what we have before you today is a good starting point for regulating charters in the bay,” said Annette Dahl, the Port of San Diego real estate department manager, at the meeting.

Illegal charters have been an ongoing problem in San Diego for years. The port has regulated Six Pac charter vessel operations since 2001 and has been working

on amending the regulation since 2018 to include the many other types of charters now operating in the bay.

The amendment aims to ensure public safety, protect consumers, regulate and police unpermitted charters, and level the playing field for charter operators, according to the ordinance.

A first version of a draft ordinance was presented to the board in January after several months of stakeholder review. Public commenters still had some concerns and commissioners voted to

direct staff to work with stakeholders one more time and come back with new revisions.

The first proposed ordinance would have required all charter operations to obtain a permit from the port, allowed charters unable to secure a place in a marina or sportfishing landing to use certain district facilities, and required charter operators to collect certain information for each passenger.

Port district staff said in their continued discussion with stakeholders, concerns were raised that the allowance of the use of public docks would result in unfair competition, that the requirement of a permit from the port would create a duplicative process for tenant charters, and that it was unclear what the cost for the permits and licenses would be.

To address these concerns, staff revised the proposed ordinance to prohibit use of public facilities, which may be reconsidered in the future; replace the permit process with a decal to be issued by tenants; and to limit the fee for the decal to the cost of producing it.

Congress Committee Debates Oil Drilling Ban for Southern California The Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources hosted a virtual legislative hearing for a bill banning new leases for offshore drilling off the coast of California.

By: JORDAN B. DARLING WASHINGTON D.C. — On May 13 the

Congressional Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources heard testimonies for Congressional bill H.R.3053, the American Coasts and Oceans Protections Act. The bill was introduced by 49th District Congressman Mike Levin on May 7 and would ban any new leasing for exploration, development, or production of oil or natural gas along the Southern California coast.

The hearing was titled Protecting Coastal Communities and Ocean Resources from Offshore Drilling, and heard about six bills from across the Unit-

ed States all opposed to banning new offshore drilling along the country’s coast.

Throughout the hearing witnesses and Committee members heard and gave testimonies in favor of ending new offshore drilling or providing arguments against it on the basis of the need for energy.

Levin’s bill would directly apply to the Southern California coast from San Diego to the northern border of San Luis Obispo County.

“The Southern California coast is home to world-renowned beaches, cherished marine life, and billions of dollars in ocean-based economic activity that are central to our quality of life but are threatened by offshore drilling,” said Levin in a May 7 press release. “Oil spills from offshore drilling have done devastating damage to our coastline before, which is why Californians overwhelmingly support a ban on new drilling activity along our coast. My bill to ban new offshore drilling leases recognizes that it’s time to put our environment and our coastal economy first, not the fossil fuel companies that profit while polluting our coastline.”

Levin called on Terra Lawson-Remer,

Offshore oil rigs are a common sight off the Southern California coast. supervisor for district 3 for San Diego County as a witness for the bill. Remer spoke about the dependence of California’s economy on tourism, and fishing that is susceptible to harm from oil spills or other incidents that can come from offshore oil drilling.

Remer reminded the Committee of the Santa Barbara oil spill in 1969 that was catastrophic to California and resulted in the end of drilling in state waters.

“We know there is no way that an oil and gas economy that’s really quickly facing global economic obsolescence can by any means compensate for the heart and soul of California’s coastal economy,” said Remer. “... also our investments in green and renewable energy that are so vital for our economic future.”

Remer went on during questioning to defend the use of renewable energy.

“There’s no question that the growth of renewable energy more than compensates,” said Remer. “As I mentioned in my testimony the cost of solar has decreased 89 percent in the last few years alone and we are well on the way for the cost of renewables to be significantly lower than the cost of gas and that’s because we are making investments in those sectors and we’re not only decreasing the cost of renewables we are increasing jobs in a new green economy that’s putting California on the cutting edge of being prepared to be competitive in a global economy.”

Boaters launch vessels at the Davies Launch Ramp in Long Beach. The California Coastal Commission has given approval to a project to replace the ramp and make several other improvements to the site.

California Coastal Commission Approves Davies Launch Ramp Redevelopment The Long Beach Department of Public Works was granted a Coastal Development Permit to replace the boat launch ramp and make several other improvements to the site.

By: LINDSEY GLASGOW LONG BEACH — A project to update the Davies Launch Ramp, which provides access to Alamitos Bay in Long Beach, now has a Coastal Development Permit.

The California Coastal Commission approved the redevelopment project with eight conditions at its May 13 meeting.

The project will replace the boat launch ramp, restroom, and the existing timber public dock system, which currently grounds at low tides, with a new ADA-compliant concrete public dock system that is the same size and shape as the current dock, but located 10 feet seaward of the existing location.

The plan also includes installing drainage and sewage pump-out stations; repaving the parking lot; adding five parking spaces, including eight with electric vehicle charging capabilities; installing a fish cleaning station; upgrading way finding signage and trash facilities; repairing rip rap; and implementing eelgrass mitigation adjacent to project area.

The installation of larger dock support piles will result in the fill or removal of a total of 25.9 square feet of soft-bottom habitat from the marine ecosystem and the relocation of the public dock will shade approximately 121.5 square feet of existing eelgrass habitat but also make

approximately 3,600 square feet of shallower marine and intertidal habitat available for eelgrass growth. As part of the conditions of the permit, the city will be required to submit an Eelgrass Mitigation Plan for transplanting and replacement of eelgrass and soft-bottom habitat adversely impacted by the project.

A portion of the project site, including some of the parking area, entrance area, and inland landscaped areas are located within the city’s permit jurisdiction, the city has already issued a local coastal development permit for the development.

Areas developed with launch ramp, rip rap revetement, dock system, restroom, parking, and other related facilities are located within the Commission’s retained permit jurisdiction on public Tidelands and needed Coastal Commission approval.

Davies Launch Ramp was built in 1965 and is a 24-hour, seven days-a-week public boat launching facility located at 6204 E. Marina Drive. According to a 2016 Long Beach City Council staff report, the Davies’ parking area is in serious disrepair, with deteriorated paving, worn stripping, poorly marked driving areas, limited lighting, and a lack of ADA compliant spaces, which all contribute to public safety and equal access concerns.

The staff report said the project aims to create a cleaner, safer, and more accessible boat launch area.

The design phase of redevelopment was funded through a grant from the California Division of Boating and Waterways. The Long Beach Department of Public Works said with this important milestone completed, the city can pursue funding for the construction phase and if funding is secured, the project can be bid out and construction could commence as soon as fall of 2022 with completion prior to summer 2023.

Newly Released 30x30 Report Approved by Sportfishing Industry A 30x30 preliminary report has received praise from the sportfishing industry for positive sciencebased strategies.

By: JORDAN B. DARLING WASHINGTON, D.C.— On May

6 the American Sportfishing Association showed their support for a report released by the U.S. Department of the Interior outlining a ten-year plan to conserve 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030.

The ASA, representing the American sportfishing industry, supported the outline “for the report’s consistent acknowledgements of recreational fishing’s importance to the nation,” according to a May 6 press release.

“The 30 by 30 initiative has generated a lot of attention within the recreational fishing community, not always in a positive way, due to concerns that it will be used as a means to arbitrarily restrict recreational fishing access,” said Mike Leonard, American Sportfishing Association vice president of Government Affairs, in the May 6, press release. “However, we are pleased that the Biden Administration is approaching 30 by 30 with an understanding of the significant cultural, economic and conservation benefits that recreational fishing provides to the nation.”

Leonard’s acknowledgment

seems to be echoed in other fishing communities.

“It ’s comprehensive... It speaks well, talks about conserving outdoor recreation and biodiversity... best available science, has all the right words but it always comes down to execution,” said Wayne Kotow, executive director of Coastal Conservation Association of California.

Biden signed an executive order on Jan. 27, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Aboard, that included but was not limited to 30x30, preserving 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030.

The outline, and update to

“The 30 by 30 initiative has generated a lot of attention within the recreational fishing community.” the original 30x30 was submitted to the National Climate Task Force and developed by the U.S. Departments of the Interior, Agriculture, and Commerce and the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

There are eight principles outlined in the report that were developed as a guideline for the nationwide conservation effort.

“Pursuing a collaborative and inclusive approach to conservation,” said the May 6 press release from ASA. “Conserving America’s lands and waters for the ben-

efit of all people; Supporting locally led and locally designed conservation efforts; Honoring Tribal sovereignty and supporting the priorities of Tribal Nations; Pursuing conservation and restoration approaches that create jobs and support healthy communities; Honoring private property rights and supporting the voluntary stewardship efforts of private landowners; Using science as a guide; and building on existing tools and strategies with an emphasis on flexibility and adaptive approaches.”

The Biden administration gathered feedback in the first 100 days to identify six priorities for early focus.

“Creating more parks and safe outdoor opportunities in nature-deprived communities,” said a press release from the Department of the Interior. “Supporting Tribally led conservation and restoration priorities; Expanding collaborative conservation of fish and wildlife habitats and corridors; Increasing access for outdoor recreation; Incentivizing and rewarding the voluntary conservation efforts of fishers, ranchers, farmers, and forest owners; and Creating jobs by investing in restoration and resilience projects and initiatives, including the Civilian Climate Corps.”

The report acknowledges that additional conversations need to be had and that the report is a starting point for the legislation.

Governor Reduces Boat Registration Fee Increase in Revised 2021-22 Budget Proposal After significant input from boating advocates and the community, the proposed fee for the two-year California recreational vessel registration went from $70 in the January proposed 2021-22 budget to $40 in the May revision.

By: LINDSEY GLASGOW S A C R A M E N T O — G over nor

Gavin Newsom has released a revised version of his 2021-22 budget and included is a reduction in the proposed vessel registration fee increase. The revised May 2021-22 budget increases the cost of the twoyear California recreational vessel registration from the current $20 to $40. The previous budget proposal released in January included a 250 percent increase to $70 biennially.

The revised budget would also increase a proposed twoyear, $20 million spending level for the Harbors and Watercraft

Revolving Fund by $10.7 million over the next four years.

The HWRF is the primary fund source for boating programs managed by the California Division of Boating and Waterways.

California State Parks had proposed the registration fee increase to address what staff said will be a $52 million annual deficit in the HWRF and to maintain the current service levels. The increase was proposed as a solution for short term solvency for the fund as the department worked with stakeholders to come up with a longterm solution.

RBOC was part of a coalition of boating stakeholders, which also included Boat Owners Association of The United States, the National Marine Manufacturers Association, the Marine Recreation Association, the California Association of Harbor Masters and Port Captains, and the California Yacht Brokers Association, that have been advocating for six key changes to the budget proposal, including significantly reducing the registration fee increase and redirecting Please see BOATUS, NEXT PAGE

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

AB-817: 365-Day Electronic Fishing License By: JORDAN B. DARLING SACRAMENTO — Assembly Bill 817, a bill that would put the California sportfishing license on a 365-day cycle and add an option for anglers to carry their licenses electronically, was amended and unanimously passed the Appropriations Committee with 16 votes on May 20.

The bill was introduced by Assembly member Jim Wood on Feb. 17. The bill was a reiteration of a previous attempt to transition the fishing license from a calendar-based license that starts on the first of the year and ends on Dec. 31.

“AB 817 reintroduces language from AB 1387, legislation introduced in 2019, which received bipartisan support but was stalled due to the state’s necessary focus on the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Wood. “Because of the

level of support the original bill received, I hope to move AB 817 expeditiously without detracting from our continued work to get to the other side of this pandemic.”

The bill states that starting on Jan. 1, 2023, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife will provide an option to display a sportfishing license, validation, report card, or other sport fishing entitlements on an electronic mobile device.

On the same date the department will provide a consecutive 12-month license. On Dec. 1, 2028 the department will submit a report to the Legislature.

Now that the bill has been heard and passed by the Committee it will go back to the Assembly for a second reading.

Large baleen whales return to Southern California feeding grounds each year between spring and fall.

Lower Speeds to Reduce Ship Strikes A Conservation group is calling for greater protection for whales being struck by ships; lower speeds can reduce whales colliding with ships in the Santa Barbara Channel.

By: CATHERINE FRENCH S A N FR A N CIS C O —On April 28, the National Marine Fisheries Ser v ice received a petition from the Center for Biological Diversity asking for them to consider making the current voluntary 10-knot speed limit (11-12 mph) in whale

a portion of the $107 million in annual boat fuel tax dollars to the HWRF. The groups had raised concern that of the $107 million boaters pay each year in fuel taxes to the state, only $15 million is provided to the HWRF for programs and services that directly benefit boaters. The rest goes to the State Parks’ general fund, which staff said also benefits boaters.

“I don’t think boaters are opposed to fees but they want to see that’s its going into the programs and projects that are going to help them get out on the water,” said BoatUS Manager of Government Affairs David Kennedy.

RBOC and BoatUS reported more

as they migrate along the Pacific Coast from the birthing grounds in Mexico and Costa Rica. Those areas include the Santa Barbara Channel and the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary off the Ventura County mainland.

Several years ago, the Voluntary Vessel Speed Reduction (VSR) incentive program for the Southern California and San Francisco Bay regions off California was created as a monetary incentive to shipping companies to slow their speeds in these areas May 15 and Nov. 15.

At last count, about 15 shipping companies have participated in slowing down in the feeding grounds. And the program has been successful in not only reducing ship strikes, but the slower speeds reduce harmful particulates in the air as well.

The petitioner says this isn’t good enough, and it should become mandatory.

According to a spokesperson for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, (NOAA) the agency cannot comment while in litigation.

On the East Coast, the endangered North Atlantic right whales are in risk of extinction from too many ship strikes. In 2008, NOAA implemented mandatory speed limits along the East Coast to help protect whales. NOAA’s fishery service reported that over 80 percent of ships were in compliance in 2018-19. Since then, it has dropped to less than 50 percent in some areas.

Kilduff said a mandatory, year-round speed limit would increase awareness and save more whales. Freighters are so large that the crews piloting them may strike a whale without realizing it, she said.

“This is somewhat an invisible problem,” Kilduff said. “The blue whales are the largest animal on the planet, and we are killing them and not even realizing that we’ve killed them.”

According to NOAA, ship strikes are one of the most common causes of death for large whales. The agency keeps count of the number of dead whales that are washed ashore or impaled across the bows of ships.

feeding grounds to become mandatory.

Each year large baleen whales including blue, humpback, and fin whales return to their feeding grounds between spring and fall. When these large ships travel through the Santa Barbara Channel the lower speed gives whales a better chance of surviving ship strikes, if not avoiding them completely.

According to www. ransportgeograpfhy.org, most containerships are designed to travel at speeds around 24 knots, with “slow steaming” being between 18-20 knots, with 23 mph being the average.

“Endangered blue, humpback, and fin whales off California’s coast are too frequently struck and killed by ships,” said the petition, filed last week by Catherine Kilduff, a senior attorney with the center.

than 4,000 individuals from the boating community also advocated, contacting their California state legislators and the governor’s office asking for a reduced registration fee increase.

“This kind of input really does have an impact on what happens with policies,” said Kennedy. “…Getting that kind of input from the boaters is so important and I think we’re seeing the results of that.”

Desmond said they are continuing to advocate for other budget provisions. As the budget stands now, it establishes a stakeholder process to develop long-term funding approaches to the HWRF over the next few years. Desmond said they are advocating to get that stakeholder process solidified through a statute.

“As we try to stabilize the Harbors and Watercraft Revolving Fund going forward that the boaters have input into it and we think it’s a much better process,” said RBOC President Winston Bumpus.

Bumpus said they would also like to have an economic impact assessment study done on boating in California.

June 15 is the deadline for the legislature to pass a budget to the governor, who will need sign off on it before the next fiscal year begins on July 1. The provisions included in the budget can still be changed up until it is voted on.

“We’re trying to preserve what the governor has offered and then accomplish more with those other provisions, especially that stakeholder process,” said Desmond.

Event organizers recently announced that the convention will be held on Feb. 5, 2022 at Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club in Newport Beach. Early bird registration for the event begins in December.

“There’s a pent-up desire for it, people

have been stuck at home for 18 months, almost two years by the time we get there and so I think there’ll be lots of gals who’ll wanna participate again and get out there on the water,” said Hine.

Hine started the event in 1990 and continues to spearhead it to this day. The Southern California Yachting Association sponsored the event for the first 27 years.

The convention brings sailors of different generations and backgrounds together to share their knowledge and skill in the lifestyle of boating. It features a docket of approximately 30 workshops both classroom-based and on-the-water-based sessions taught by instructors from all over the state and country.

“It’s a special event, I like to think of it as the gold standard for such events,” said Hine.

Female sailors of all skill sets are en-

couraged to attend. Attendees can select workshops that best fit their interests and abilities. The most popular workshops, such as docking, suddenly single-handed, and navigation, will be back in the line-up for the 2022 convention as well as some news ones.

“I have a couple of ideas on some new workshops but they’re not set in concrete yet but they will be shortly,” said Hine.

She said they are still in the early stages of planning the event and are working on finalizing a speaker, coaches, and workshops.

In 2007 the regatta moved under the Championships division of US Sailing and was renamed the U.S. Disabled Sailing Championship, and in 2017 the U.S. Board of Directors approved a name change to U.S. Para Sailing Championships.

The championship has produced several competitors that went on to represent the United States in the Paralympics, including 2008 paralympian and gold medalist Nick Scandone.

The Clagett and US Sailing partnered together in 2018 to host the US Para Sailing Championships, 47 sailors participated in three different classes.

OCEANSIDE—On a half-day trip out of Oceanside an angler was taken by surprise when he brought in a lingcod that was caught in the middle of lunch. The 13-pound fish had a rockfish half way down when Adam Mealey brought up the fish in front of 17 other anglers. “Adam Mealey from Vista Ca. came out fishing for the first time on the (New) Southern Cal 1/2 day trip out of Oceanside Sea Center in Oceanside,” said Jolene Thompson in a May 6 email to the Log.. “We were south of Box Canyon when we brought in this 13-pound LingCod that ate a Barber Pole Rockfish from a piece of baited squid!

Deckhand Jakob Wolfe gaffed it and everyone was in awe!! It was an exciting catch that 17 anglers witnessed!”

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FISHING NEWS FISHING NEWS UPDATES

By Lindsey Glasgow

The bill would require, among other things, that the impacts on fish populations and the marine ecosystem be considered before allowing harvest on any currently unmanaged forage species, something already being done on the West Coast.

By: LINDSEY GLASGOW

WASHINGTON, D.C. — On April 29, Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) introduced the Forage Fish Conservation Act, a bill aimed at improving federal conservation and management measures for forage fish, fish or invertebrate species that contribute significantly to the diets of other fish, marine mammals, or birds.

Blunt and Blumenthal said in a joint statement the legislation would lead to healthier wildlife communities and help communities that depend on commercial and recreational fishing.

A bill was also introduced in a previous legislative session, but did not pass.

“For years, the recreational fishing community has advocated for better conservation of our nation’s forage fish populations because a healthy forage base fuels healthy sportfish populations,” said Mike Leonard, vice president of government affairs for the American Sportfishing Association, in a released statement.

The American Sportfishing Association is one of several fishing and boating organizations that have thrown their support behind the bill, others include the Center for Sportfishing Policy, Coastal Conservation Association, National Manufacturers Association, and BoatUS. “A significant number of the 12 million registered boats in the United States are used for recreational fishing,” said Chris Edmonston, vice president of government affairs for BoatU.S. in a released statement. “For many families, their fishing boat is their single biggest investment in outdoor recreation. Protecting the resource that keeps this family-friendly pastime viable is good policy.”

The Forage Fish Conservation Act would amend the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), the primary law governing fishing in the United States, to require the Secretary of Commerce to develop

Senators Introduce Bill to Protect Forage Fish

The Forage Fish Conservation Act would require the Secretary of Commerce to develop a definition of forage fish, as well as improve the conservation, monitoring, and management of these fish species, which include sardines, anchovies, smelts, squid, and krill. a definition of forage fish, as well as improve the conservation, monitoring, and management of these fish species, which include sardine, anchovy, smelts, squid, and krill. It would require that the impacts on fish populations and the marine ecosystem be considered before allowing harvest on any currently unmanaged forage species, something already being done on the West Coast, and that predator needs be accounted for in existing management plans for forage fish.

When the MSA was enacted in 1976 it established eight regional fishery coun-

cils to recommend fishery management measures in individual regions. The Pacific Fishery Management Council recommends fishery management measures in the Federal waters off Washington, Oregon, and California. While the MSA does not currently require regional councils include forage fish in their management plans, the PFMC said it has a long history of managing and protecting forage fish species.

Forage

Commercial crab fishing uses several methods to catch crabs like, large nets, traps, and pots.

said Jennifer Gilden, staff officer for outreach, habitat & legislation for the Pacific Fishery Management Council.

The PFMC provided a letter in 2019 in response to a request for comment from Senator Maria Cantwell on the 2019 Forage Fish Conservation Act. The letter said the comments of the PFMC were not intended to provide support or opposition to the legislation but just discuss potential effects on their management responsibility.

The letter detailed some of the forage fish management practices the PFMC already has, including a Coastal Pelagic Species Fishery Management Plan that considers the impact of forage fish to the ecosystem and fishing communities and that is used to inform optimum yield and annual catch limit decisions for managed forage species. Gilden said to a certain extent they are accounting for predator needs, as would be required by the Forage Fish Conservation Act, but said fully accounting for predator needs would likely require more science funding and research, because they don’t currently have a good idea of how much predators are consuming.

Other measures the PFMC has adopted include a complete ban on commercial fishing for all species of krill and a prohibition on the development of new directed fisheries on unmanaged forage species until an adequate assessment of the fishery is conducted.

“I think forage fisheries off the West Coast would already be in compliance with this legislation but we’re going to have to remain vigilant as NMFS [National Marine Fisheries Service] adopts regulations to implement this legislation [should it pass] to ensure that fisheries that are dependent upon forage fish aren’t adversely effected,” said Mike Conroy, principal at West Coast Fisheries Consultants.

Dungeness Crab Fishing has a New Depth Constraint The California Department of Fish and Wildlife released an advisory and depth constraint for commercial Dungeness crab fishing season that went into effect on May 10 in Northern California.

By: JORDAN B. DARLING NORTHERN CALIFORNIA— The California

Department of Fish and Wildlife implemented a depth constraint for commercial Dungeness Crab fishing that went

into place at 12 p.m. on May 10.

The depth constraint at 30 fathoms and shallower is implemented in fishing zones one and two from the Oregon state line to the Sonoma/Mendocino county line.

Commercial fleets are also required to carry an onboard electronic monitoring system to record the vessel’s location while engaged in fishing activity using GPS coordinates at a frequency of no less than once per minute.

The monitoring must be available to the CDFW upon request for the duration of the fishing period and up to 60 days after.

The department is encouraging the best fishing practices, things like minimizing knots, line scope, and to immedi-

ately remove all gear when it is no longer in operation.

In a recommendation published on May 3 by the CDFW, they requested that zones one and two should pay particular attention to the location of set gear and to be aware of whales in the area to avoid entanglement as much as possible.

The implementation came after the most recent marine life entanglement risk assessment that took into account various marine mammals that utilize California coastal waters.

According to the report released by the CDFW on May 3, bi-weekly reporting showed most fishing gear is at depths between 13 and 31 fathoms with some gear at lower depths.

Humpback whales, which utilize Northern California waters as a winter breeding ground, tend to hang around 30 fathoms or deeper; the assessment predicts that the depth constraint will not significantly impact commercial fishing.

Zones one through six are still under Fleet Advisory and the CDFW was expected to go forward with another risk assessment on or around May 14.

“The Department will perform additional risk assessments throughout the spring and respond to changing entanglement risk as appropriate should new data indicate increased entanglement risk for Humpback whales, Blue whales, or Pacific leatherback sea turtles in the Fishing Grounds,” said the May 3 report.

On May 7 this deep-sea fish washed up on shore in Crystal Cove State Park’s Marine Protected Area (MPA). Crystal Cove State Park wrote in a Facebook post they believed it is most likely a Pacific Football Fish, one of the 200 species of angler fish that exist worldwide. Angler fish live-in pitch-black waters up to 3,000 feet below the surface. The distinguishing feature many will recognize is the long stalk on the head with bioluminescent tips. Only females have the peculiar appendage, and use it as a lure to entice prey.

Their teeth, like pointed shards of glass, are transparent, and their large mouth is capable of sucking up and swallowing prey the size of their own body.

“To see an actual angler fish intact is very rare and it is unknown how or why the fish ended up on the shore,” wrote Crystal Cove State Park in the Facebook post. “Seeing this strange and fascinating fish is a testament to the diversity of marine life lurking below the water’s surface in California’s MPAs and as scientists continue to learn more about these deep sea creatures it’s important to reflect on how much is still to be learned from our wonderful ocean.”

WHEN WEATHER COOPERATES, BLUEFIN TUNA AND YELLOWTAIL HIGHLIGHT SPRING FISHING!

By Bob Vanian of 976Bite.com Southern California offshore anglers have been enjoying some fine spring fishing, but the past several days have seen unsettled weather conditions get in the way of anglers being able to get out to the offshore banks to fish areas where the bluefin tuna and yellowtail have been biting. The weather is improving though and today there are some boats back out on the offshore fishing grounds that are finding success once again targeting bluefin and yellowtail.

Prior to the recent stretch of bad weather, there were good numbers of bluefin tuna biting out by San Clemente Island for boats working the region of the 381 Spot which is located off the back side of the island outside of China Point.

The 381 Spot is located at 70 miles, 260 degrees from Point Loma. Most of the bluefin were in the 18 to 60-pound range with some bigger fish in the mix that were going to 200-plus pounds.

I just got some information about how some of the boats are doing fishing offshore waters for bluefin tuna and yellowtail on May 23. Fisherman’s Landing reports that Outrider provided an early update from a 2.5-day trip. The update was that they had 16 bluefin tuna aboard that ranged in size from 80 to 200pounds. Fisherman’s Landing also reports that Pegasus provided an early update from a 1.5-day trip. They had 19 anglers aboard that had caught 8 bluefin tuna and 15 yellowtail. Their bluefin ranged in size from 30 to 150-pounds with 5 of the bluefin up over the 100-pound mark.

Both Outrider and the Pegasus were still fishing at the time of those reports.

Seaforth Sportfishing reported getting an early update from Polaris Supreme that is out on a 1.5-day trip.

They had 9 bluefin tuna aboard, and that 8 of the bluefin were in the 100 to 205pound range. Polaris Supreme was still fishing at the time of that report.

Point Loma Sportfishing reports getting an early update from American Angler that had 6 bluefin tuna aboard that ranged in size from 120 pounds to 224-pounds. American Angler was still fishing at the time of their report.

Boats fishing offshore waters within 45 miles or so of Point Loma had been finding good numbers of kelp paddie yellowtail and a few bluefin tuna biting while fishing areas such as the Upper Hidden Bank, the 371 Bank, the 230 Spot, the 302 Spot, the 224 Spot, the 182 Spot, the Corner, the San Clemente Basin Weather Buoy, and the 43 Fathom Spot. This is a wide area that had boats spread out fishing areas ranging from 15 to 45 miles 185 to 260 degrees from Point Loma. The banks outside of Los Coronado Islands such as the Upper Hidden Bank, 371 Bank, 230 Spot, 302 Spot, and 224 Spot were the best. The yellowtail found around kelp paddies were ranging in size from 5 to 15-pounds and most of the bluefin in this sector were in the 18 to 60-plus pound range.

Bluefin have been located by finding sonar marks, meter marks, spots of

breezing fish, spots of breaking fish, and spots of working birds. Once bluefin are located they have been biting well on Flat Fall jigs, Colt Snipers, flylined sardines, and sardines fished with a 4-ounce torpedo sinker.

The fishing around Los Coronado Islands has been good for a mix of yellowtail, barracuda, calico bass, bonito, reds, lingcod, and an assortment of rockfish. A recent fish count posted aboard San Diego out of Seaforth Sportfishing saw 24 anglers on a full-day trip catch 41 yellowtail, 17 calico bass, 10 barracuda and 52 rockfish. Seaforth Sportfishing reports that San Diego was having success with the yellowtail while using flylined sardines and surface iron. Good choices for surface iron for yellowtail and barracuda include Salas 7X lights and Tady 45’s in blue and white, mint and sardine colors.

Calico bass have been providing the best surface fishing along the San Diego area coast and the kelp beds at the upper end of La Jolla have been best for the

yellowtail. Surface iron, yo-yo iron and slow trolled mackerel have been good choices to try for the occasional yellowtail hookup with surface iron usually working best when cast to breaking fish.

Productive yellowtail areas have been the South Kelp, the north end of South Island, the Lighthouse at the south tip of South Island, the Middle Grounds and the weather side of North Island. Yellowtail have been located by finding sonar marks, meter marks, spots of fish under working birds, trolling strikes on deep diving Rapalas and slow trolled sardines.

Good places to try for calicos are the South Kelp, the Ribbon Kelp, the north end of South Island, the back side of South Island, the Middle Grounds and Pukey Point at North Island.

The bottom fishing around Los Coronado Islands continues to be good and some of the best spots have been at the hard bottom to the northwest and north of North Island in 30 to 50 fathoms. Also productive have been hard bottom spots to the northeast and the east of North Island in 20 to 30 fathoms as well as fishing along the outside dropoff of the South Kelp Ridge in 25 to 50 fathoms.

The fishing along the San Diego County coast has been good for a mix of rockfish, reds, whitefish, sculpin, sand bass, calico bass and an occasional bonus lingcod, yellowtail or halibut.

The best area for a chance at a yellowtail along the San Diego County coast has been fishing off the upper end of La Jolla. There have been occasional showings of yellowtail in the area and if you are fortunate enough to be at the right spot at the right time when some yellows decide to show, there has been a chance at hooking a 15 to 25-pound class

World Sailing Holds Mid-Year Meeting, Votes on Olympic Alternatives World Sailing voted on the alternatives to the Mixed Offshore event for the Paris 2024 Olympics.

By: JORDAN B. DARLING

INTERNATIONAL— The World Sailing Mid-

Year meeting held May 10-14 was dominated by the vote for an Olympic event alternative to the Mixed Offshore event.

The four-day remote meeting was dominated by alternative event proposals for the Mixed Offshore Event at the Olympics in Paris for 2024 after a request was put out by the International Olympic Committee.

The Council’s final decision was to make the Men’s and Women’s Kiteboarding the first alternative and the Men’s and Women’s Two-Person Dinghy (470) the second alternative event.

The decision came 12 days before the May 26 deadline put forth by the International Olympic Committee who voiced concerns about the sailing event.

World Sailing put out the Mixed Offshore event to replace the Finn class in the 2024 Olympics before the IOC met in December.

The IOC raised concerns about the event quoting “discipline - field of play, scope and complexity, broadcast cost and complexity and the organization not yet holding an Offshore World Championship - had been indicated by its Olympic

force compliance with for-hire ventures operating in San Diego,” said Frank Ursitti, president of United Sportfishers of San Diego Inc. and operator of H&M Landing, in a public comment supporting the ordinance at the meeting.

Troy Sears, owner of Next Level Sailing and The Yacht America, also spoke in support of the ordinance in a public comment at the meeting. While Sears said he supported the ordinance, he raised concern that it provided amnesty for charters that have operated illegally in the past and provides amnesty for illegal charters in the future.

Programme Commission,” according to an April 15 article from Inside the Games.

After the IOC’s decision in early April, World Sailing put out an April 26 deadline for proposals to replace the 10th medal event.

The Council received 23 proposals and narrowed it down to 15, and settled on two decisions after a week of Committee discussion and voting.

The Council voted on the two alternatives, ranking them by preference for the IOC’s consideration.

The Council received recommendations from the Events Committee, who voted for the 470 as the first alternative and kiteboarding as the second, and the Equipment Committee who voted for kiteboarding as the first alternative with the 470 following it up as the second alternative.

In the end, Men’s and Women’s Kiteboarding was approved as the first alternative with 33 votes in favor, two against, and six abstentions. The Men’s and Women’s 470 was approved as the second alternative with 37 votes in favor, one against, and two abstentions.

The council remains positive about the Mixed Offshore Event and have noted that it is the preferred event but acknowledged the request from the IOC. The IOC set to confirm the sailing program at the Executive Board meeting on June 8.

The next council meeting will be at the 2021 World Sailing Annual Conference set for the end of October in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

tions for me as I watched over the weekend operators who have been performing unregulated charters for years will never have to pay the port for those charters,” said Sears.

“It certainly doesn’t correct something that may have happened in the past but we’re really looking forward to clear, established rules leading to again, in our view, an even playing field going forward,” said Simon Kann, deputy general counsel at Port of San Diego.

Throughout the first year, staff will collect data and report back with findings and recommended adjustments or changes.

public amenities in the harbor.

“Maybe we continue with the permit process and as we take up this public amenities dialogue as the year progresses, maybe that’s something important that we can cover,” said Proud.

Proud said since there wasn’t any significant issue that warranted it going to the City Council, he would take the Harbor Commission’s direction.

Mexico From page 16

41.74 percent outside of protected areas.

Octavio Aburto-Oropeza, the senior author of the paper and associate professor in the Marine Biology Research Division at Scripps Institute of Oceanography in La Jolla, said one of the big findings of the paper is that the diving industry has a similar economic impact as the fishing industry, another major industry that relies on the ocean. The paper cited findings that gross revenues of the Mexican artisanal and industrial fisheries were $700 million in 2019 (Martinez Estrada et al).

Aburto-Oropeza said he hopes this research starts new conversations about how to strike more of a balance between extraction activities, such as fishing, and non-extraction activities, such as diving.

“We are generating a lot of money without extracting all these resources and in the case of diving, a fish or a shark can be seen or can used multiple times, infinitive times compared to other sectors like fishing,” said Aburto-Oropeza.

He said unlike other industries, the diving sector has largely not organized together to influence public policy. According to the study, there is also no public policy that encourages diving activities - aid in starting the business, tax cuts, bonuses for environmentally friendly activities, ect. - or stimulates them to be sustainable and aid in the protection of the marine environment.

“In the big scale they don’t have a strong political voice and that is because they are not organized as an economic sector,” said Aburto-Oropeza.

Aburto-Oropeza emphasized he didn’t believe it should be fishing versus diving, but that there should be conservations about other economical benefits of the ocean and ways the sectors could work together on a collaborative vision that results in higher earnings for both while reducing pressure on marine biodiversity.

The study found the small-scale diving business model, which makes up 90.65

percent of Mexico’s diving industry, if sustainably managed and regulated, represents an opportunity to spread ecotourism across coastal ecosystems in Mexico and, coupled with a focus on scuba diving, generates more net revenues for the operators. In contrast, in general, largescale tourism causes cascading ecological problems and leads to overuse, and degradation, of natural ecosystems, which can result in a lower ecotourism potential over time, according to the study. The study found the diving industry generates gross revenues of $455.94 million annually when the large-scale businesses are excluded.

“Especially because their assets for their businesses are the reefs that they use to bring all this tourism and if these reefs or if these marine populations are impacted or in a very bad shape the hypothesis is that that business or the revenues of that business will decrease,” said Aburto-Oropeza.

Aburto-Oropeza said he hopes this study will encourage more divers and diving shops owners to get involved in public policy that aids in the protection of these reefs and ocean.

“Scientists working with society to solve problems, especially problems about sustainability and sustainable development goals, this study intends to be part of this proactiveness or this pro-action that scientists also need to do to solve this problem,” said Aburto-Oropeza.

Aburto-Oropeza said they are continuing this work, conducting a new study about ways to protect these diving sites and to establish collaboration with other sectors including the fishing sector.

Co-authors of the study were Ramiro Arcos-Aguilar, Fabio Favoretto, and Victoria Jiménez-Esquivel of Centro para biodiversidad Marina y la Conservación, Joy Kumagai of Scripps Oceanography, and Adán Martinez-Cruz of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. The Oceans 5 Foundation, the Wyss Foundation, USA, and the National Geographic Society supported the research.

of cost-effective energy sources for Oil a time of need and economic depression.

“Today’s hearing is particularly tonedeaf to the needs of American families at a time when there are lines of cars at gas stations stretching blocks, this is reminiscent of the Carter administration,” said member Congressman Pete Stauber from Minnesota. “...We should be discussing how we should harness domestic resources to provide secure affordable energy for American families.”

Representatives stated that California already has a dependence on imported energy and the removal of offshore drilling would increase the issue. According to Representative Paul Gosar from Arizona, California imported nearly 30 million barrels of oil from Colombia just last year.

Representative Garret Graves of Louisiana led the opposition to the bill, pointing out the flaw of renewable energy technology that has not been tested and the danger of using tankers that could also

have an environmental impact.

“All this talk about this great technology and its affordable and, this what we need to be doing and it’s not even in place in California,” said Graves “Number two I want to remind folks that California is the most dependent state upon imported energy, meaning energy coming from other countries or other states if we’re not going to produce, then what it does is it requires that it be brought in by tanker...tankers are a less safe mechanism of transportation, than let me actually quote Energy Secretary Granholm who just said days ago that pipes are the safest way to transport energy and so she’s talking effectively about using a less safe way to transport that would potentially have environmental consequences on the state of California.”
