BIZARRE
By Lindsey Glasgow ALABAMA—Nearly 60,000 years ago, a bald cypress forest flourished on the banks of a prehistoric river near the Gulf of Mexico. Over time, the massive trees grew and died, their enormous trunks falling and becoming entombed in a protective covering of peat and sediment. These ancient forest remains were buried beneath the sea surface off the coast of Alabama, where they remained undisturbed for millennia. “Intensifying storms along the coast, however, have scoured the seafloor, beginning to expose this ancient submarine forest,” the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, said in a released statement. NOAA’s Office of Ocean Exploration has orchestrated a study with scientists from Northeastern University and the University of Utah to research the haunting site. One of the goals is to investigate if the prehistoric trees host undiscovered “compounds for medicine biotechnology,” which can be a basis for new types of antibiotics. NOAA video from the site shows it is alive with schools of fish. Marine an-
imals and microorganisms that live on submerged wood and inside it are of particular interest. “The team’s focus is on bacteria found in wood-eating ‘shipworms,’ a type of clam,” NOAA staff said in a released statement. “These ‘termites of the sea’ convert wood into animal tissue, forming the base of a food chain that can support a rich diversity of fish, invertebrates, and microorganisms in communities that resemble thriving coral reefs.” Field work began in December with timbers collected from the submerged forest. Scientists discovered the ancient wood hosted more than 300 animals and 100 strains of bacteria, many of which are novel. The team intends to continue field work in August through December. According to the project overview, previous work by the research team on bacteria in shipworms has resulted in at least one antibiotic being under investigation as a drug to treat parasitic infections, and the overall biopharmaceutical potential for these bacteria is high. The project overview stated drug compounds produced by symbiotic microbes are less likely to display toxicity toward animals than free-living bacte-

They can be reproduced under lower temperatures and less harsh conditions than current industrial processes, meaning a potential cost savings for industrial applications.
The wood at the site off the Alabama coast has been submerged and buried in a deep layer of sand and sediment for thousands of years, creating an isolated and unique habitat for discovery of unusual microbes and molecules, according to the overview.

RE: “Note to Sheriff: It’s Docking Time in Newport Beach” (APRIL 17-30)
The public access issue at the OC Sheriff ’s Harbor Patrol in Newport Harbor is still under review by the California Coastal Commission. The Sheriff submitted a retro-active CDP application to close off public access. On September 6, 2019 the application was rejected by the Coastal Commission. The Sheriff ’s Department currently
stands in violation of the law. A detailed investigation of the actions by the OC Harbor suggest the public access closures initiated by Sheriff ’s management were designed to create a more comfortable work environment for the Sheriff ’s Harbor Patrol and to impede live-aboard boater access to the dinghy dock. It seems the OC Sheriff ’s Harbor Patrol is more interested in serving themselves than serving the public. — Concerned Boater

FAST FACTS
‘Step Brothers’ – The Birth of the Catalina Wine Mixer By Parimal M. Rohit AVALON—Catalina Island and Hollywood are
connected in more ways than one. The non-native bison arrived on the island in 1924 as part of a silent film production and has remained there for generations. Zane Grey maintained a steady presence in Avalon, and Marilyn Monroe lived on the island before she made it big, as well. Of course, anyone who visits the island regularly knows about the murder of Natalie Wood. The young actress disappeared from the boat owned by her husband, actor Robert Wagner, and was eventually found dead at the Isthmus. (Christopher Walken, also an actor, was with the couple on the yacht.) Those who have seen ‘Step Brothers’ will recognize another Catalina Island mainstay: the Catalina Wine Mixer. The film’s final act is fictionally set in Avalon – with an equally fictionally event as the backdrop. Will Ferrell’s character organizes the Cata-

lina Wine Mixer, which did not exist when the film hit silver screens in 2008. Audiences are led to believe the mixer is taking place somewhere on Catalina Island, when in reality the entire set was shot next to Trump National Golf Course at Rancho Palos Verdes. (A few scenes of Avalon Harbor, however, did make it into the film.) Turns out Adam McKay, who directed ‘Step Brothers’ and co-wrote the film with Ferrell, was quite inspirational, as the fictional Catalina Wine Mixer became reality in 2015. It is now an annual event, taking place at Descanso Beach Club in Avalon. The event features live DJs, gourmet food, entertainment … and, of course, wine. ‘Step Brothers’ also features a boating element in one of its storylines. Richard Jenkins, who plays the father of John C. Reilly’s character in the film, owns a boat. The character intends to retire aboard his boat with his wife (played by Mary Steenburgen) and sail the South Pacific. The boat is also used in the film as a prop in hip hop music video created by the characters played by Ferrell and Reilly.
OXNARD —Covid-19-related boating restrictions
are easing across the U.S. and despite most events still being off calendar for the foreseeable future, the weather is warming and it’s a great time to get out on the water. National Safe Boating Week, which runs May 16 through 22, is a good time to refresh on safe and responsible boating and make sure you have all safety measure in place before heading out. For the past 15 years, Channel Islands Harbor has helped boaters with that through a free Safe Boat Expo, which provided safety demonstrations; air, sea, and fire rescue demonstrations; tours of U.S. Coast Guard vessels; public safety agency booths; and hands-on exhibits. The event also allowed boaters to exchange old life jackets for new ones and turn in expired flares for proper disposable in exchange for a discount on new ones. The event was scheduled for May 9 but canceled due health concerns surrounding Covid-19.

WHAT HAPPENED: Navy Yacht Club of Long Beach was granted a fee waiver – up to $5,000 – for use of dock space in Alamitos Yacht Club. The dock space would be used for events scheduled at the yacht club through Dec. 12. Events would include the honoring of veterans, racing and cruise celebrations. Long Beach’s City Council approved the fee waiver as part of its Consent Calendar on April 21; the meeting was held via teleconference. “[Navy YC] celebrates and honors veterans year-round through a variety of races and cruises (parades). These events draw participation from sev-
eral Southern California yacht clubs. Several of these events are co-sponsored by the United States Department of Veteran Affairs Hospital in Long Beach,” Long Beach city staff said in a report to council members. “[The yacht club] has requested dock fees, traditionally assessed for visiting vessels for the use of the 100-foot dock adjacent to [Navy YC], in an amount not to exceed $5,000, be waived.” WHAT’S ON TAP: Long Beach

FDA-approved masks were distributed in Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s communities across the country. By Parimal M. Rohit SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI—Healthcare
workers and first responders received a generous gift from Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris in late April. Morris personally donated one million FDA-approved ASTM Level 1 Procedure Facemasks to those healthcare and first responders working on the frontlines of the Covid-19 pandemic. Convoy of Hope distributed the facemasks to all Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s communities across the United States. Morris and Bass Pro Shops staff said the donation would help meet high demand for the personal protective equipment, which have been reported to be in short supply as hospitals and medical centers treat patients for Coronavirus.
“We are extremely grateful to our nation’s healthcare workers serving on the frontlines of this unprecedented global health crisis,” Morris said. “These heroic men and women continue to dedicate their lives to save the loved ones of others, and we are all honored to support them on behalf of everyone at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s, and the communities we serve.” Convoy of Hope, according to Bass Pro Shops staff, relied upon its national network of partners and volunteers to distribute the facemasks to hospitals and medical centers where the protective gear was most needed. More than 200 communities, in all, received thousands of facemasks (each) for local and regional healthcare providers. “The logistics of the donation have been in the works since in the onset of the crisis. Morris worked with Bass Pro Shops partner Rusty Sellars, CEO of True Timber, to source the masks through his apparel and fabric suppliers,” Bass Pro Shops staff said in a released statement. Convoy of Hope, in a separate action, responded to the Covid-19 outbreak

Effects of evolving Coronavirus pandemic on city revenue forces a recommendation of appropriation reductions, including returning unused funds allocated to abandoned watercraft abatement, beach and bay sand management, harbor bulkheads and seawall repairs.
By Lindsey Glasgow NEWPORT BEACH—Unused funds for
several harbor-related projects will be returned to help balance Newport Beach’s fiscal year 2019-20 budget amid
unforeseen circumstances, while several major projects are proposed to move forward as planned. An amendment to adjust the city’s FY 2019-20 budget was on the agenda for the City Council on April 28 and was ultimately approved by council members.

Projects in progress and proposed to keep moving forward include the bilge pumpout/ oil collection center currently under design, harbor dredging/planning, harbor maintenance/minor improvement, harbor piers rehabilitation, Newport Bay Water Wheel design and the American Legion bulkhead replacement. The amendment was meant to address sharp declines in sales, transient occupancy, leases, as well as parking and other revenues as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and help the city maintain its contingency reserve. The city anticipates ending 2020 with a reserve of $52.6 million. City staff anticipates the original FY 2019-20 revenue projection will be down $8 to $13 million. Under city manager direction, staff made provisions to realize about $13 million in expenditure savings for the remainder of the fiscal year to narrow the revenue shortfall. Of the $93 million FY 2019-20 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget, approximately $57.9 million has not yet been used. The remaining project balance was reviewed by Public Works, the Finance Department and city manager. The projects and available funds reviewed were divided into three areas: return of unused funds to balance; projects in progress and proposed to keep moving; and projects suggested for further City Council review and direction. A total of $2.3 million in funds will be returned from various city projects, including $37,115 from the Abandoned Watercraft Abatement funding and funds allocated for Beach and Bay Sand Management and Harbor Bulkheads and Seawall Repairs. There are 24 projects suggested for further City Council review and direction with a value of about $22 million. Included is the vessel pumpout replace-
ment; $125,000 from the tidelands operating budget was allocated but the city also applied for grant funding from the Division of Boating and Waterways. Projects in progress and proposed to keep moving forward include the bilge pumpout/oil collection center currently under design, harbor dredging/ planning, harbor maintenance/minor improvement, harbor piers rehabilitation, Newport Bay Water Wheel design and the American Legion bulkhead replacement. A reduction of $2.5 million in general fund transfer outs and $7.7 million from reductions in salaries and benefits, professional and contract services, maintenance and repair, supplies and utilities, general expenses, travel and training and capital make up the rest of the $13 million. The city manager’s proposed budget for FY 2020-21 will also incorporate similar adjustments. City staff is anticipating a decrease of 8 percent or $23.8 million from the original FY 2020-21 revenue estimate. Finance Department staff, working with all departments, identified general fund expenditure reductions within five tiers for a total of $37 million in general fund reductions. Reductions include extending a non-safety hiring freeze, deferred capital spending, maintenance and operations reductions and removing money from the general fund contingency reserve. Tier two includes deferring the $4.5 million in capital spending the Harbor and Beaches Master Plan gets from the general fund.

NEWS BRIEFS NATION/WORLD MRAA introduces dealer best practices, consumer boating tools NATIONWIDE—The Marine Retailers Association of the Americas (MRAA) recently launched a series of resources to help marine industry dealers get back to work in a safe and effective manner. Noting that dealerships around North America have remained only partially open in most areas – only 15 percent were “open for business as normal” at the end of March, according to an MRAA survey – and that nearly 30 percent had temporarily closed, re-opening their businesses will mean much more than bringing their staff back inside the walls of their physical location. It will mean continuing to adapt to the new normal of retail, where sales, service, deliveries and sea trials must consider new methods for keeping employees and customers safe. In response to these needs, the MRAA produced four documents to help dealers navigate going back to work: 49 Best Practices for Operating Your Dealership Safely, MRAA Sample Dealer Policy for Drop-Offs and Sea Trials, How to Communicate Safe Boating With Consumers and MRAA’s Boating Do’s and Do Not’s for distribution to boaters. The 49 best practices document offers insights into how dealerships can safely sell, service, and deliver boats as well as offer sea trials safely. The site includes a sample dealer policy for drop-offs and sea trials, which is designed as a training tool as well as a means to encourage compliance with the new policy. The final two documents offer insights into how dealership personnel can communicate safe boating with customers. The resources can be found at mraa.com/ page/getbacktowork.

Spiny and delicious, sea urchins shine in a new documentary NEW YORK (AP)—They are briny and
sweet - once you get past those formidable spines. Biting into one has been likened to kissing a mermaid. Now they are ready for their close-up. Sea urchins – which contain the prized meat the Japanese call uni – are the sub-
ject of a new documentary “The Delicacy,” which explores the complex relationship between humans and these porcupines of the sea. “I look at this film as a nature documentary about people,” says director Jason Wise, who spent seven years creating his 70-minute ode to the scourge of all recreational swimmers’ feet. “The Delicacy” features chefs who prize the sea urchin for its delicate, luxurious flesh and the fishermen who catch it by hand. It takes fascinating detours into the world of abalone fishing and the urchin’s deadly rival - sea otters. This time, Wise dove with the sea urchin divers off the coast of California, but initially faced some difficulties convincing them to be filmed. “They don’t stand to gain much from being on
camera,” he said. One diver who helped is Stephanie Mutz, the rare full-time female sea urchin diver in California. She also has a master’s degree in tropical marine biology, and saw the film as a chance to educate viewers about sustainability and her specific fishery. Mutz and her fellow divers don wetsuits and prowl the murky depths, plucking individual urchins from the bottom with a gloved hand and a pick, avoiding ocean currents, disorientation and sharks. It›s an ancient skill and labor-intensive. “People have had a disconnect of where their food comes from and their relationships to the harvesters,” she said. “I’ve had conversations with customers See NEWS BRIEFS page 11

Sportfishing captain donates catch to Florida Keys residents KEY WEST, FLORIDA (AP) —Florida Keys
sportfishing captain Mike Weinhofer hasn’t had charter clients since the new coronavirus closed the Keys to visitors in March, but he’s still fishing. Weinhofer has operated Key West Florida Fishing Charters for more than 30 years. In the past six weeks, he and his crew have caught, filleted and distributed about 624 bags in the Keys, where the tourism industry employs half of the workforce. “I started giving away free fish just to help out,” Weinhofer said after he took his two daughters out fishing. “You know, a lot of people are having a tough time right now.” After a day on the water, he fillets the catch and texts people on his “request list” to pick it up at his slip at Key West’s Charter Boat Row. “The best part is when people send you pictures of the fish they’ve cooked, and the smiles and the happy faces,” Weinhofer said. The program has received assistance from some of Weinhofer’s past charter

The Coronavirus pandemic has significantly reduced human usage
of the ocean, including research. The science community at Scripps Institution of Oceanography is trying to keep data flowing as oceans go quiet.
By Lindsey Glasgow
SAN DIEGO—The Coronavirus pandemic has brought a paradox of devastation and clear skies. As many hold their breath as the economy falters, it seems Mother Nature is catching hers as smog lifts in major cities. With commercial shipping, naval and other vessel traffic down, researchers are addressing a similar paradox, investigating what the world’s oceans are like amid quieter waters and how to do so docked from shore. Scripps Institution of Oceanography conducts and is a partner in a wide range of research programs, some of which have been collecting data for decades and a few, centuries. Scripps Whale Acoustics Lab Director John Hildebrand was set to be on a research vessel in the Gulf of Mexico until Covid-19 hit the pause button on those plans. Scripps Whale Acoustics Lab uses instruments weighted to the seafloor all across the planet to study marine animal population abundance, seasonality and behavior. The devices record underwater sounds such as winds, waves, ships, sonar, sounds made by marine animals such as whales and dolphins and more. “Underwater sound is just a really nice proxy for the overall marine environment,” Hildebrand said. “All the way from invertebrates like snapping shrimp to fish and marine mammals; they all make sounds and you can get a good assessment of the state of the environment just by making a sound recording.” Hildebrand is hoping to keep data flowing to provide data on what a quieter ocean sounds like. “I think there will be things to learn and I’m really trying to set ourselves up so we have the data to answer those questions,” Hildebrand said.

thinks will be down during this time “I want to keep the instruments alive and then take a really careful look at during this period when noise levels went down, what was different?” Completely preventing data gaps during this time is inevitable. For the first time in 48 years, the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations will not be able to conducts its springtime cruise off southern and central California to collect a suite of data, such as plankton and fish larvae numbers, to study the marine environment, management of its living resources, and the indicators of El Nino and climate change. “These measurements are a part of a unique ocean time series that helps us understand both natural and anthropogenic changes in ocean ecosystems, including possible perturbations associated with the Covid-19 outbreak itself,” Mark Ohman, Director of California Current Ecosystem Long-Term Ecological Research (CCE LTER) group, said in an email. Ohman said while frustrating, it is an understandable precaution that must be taken. CalCOFI surveys are part of the LTRE network and the CCE LTER group takes shipboard measurements and integrates them with measurements by ocean gliders, moorings, and satellites, as well as experimental work. The group cannot get to sea to service their deep water science mooring and cannot deploy some of their robotic ocean gliders.
Covid-19 safety measures mean research vessels are docked and many ocean researchers are not able to get out to sea to service their equipment but they are doing the best they can to keep the data flowing amid strange times.

With a few exceptions, research vessels are docked and laboratories closed as part of health safety measures related to Covid-19. Hildebrand said several instruments off the Southern California coast will need to be serviced in the coming weeks. Since research vessels are docked, Hildebrand said it will be a challenge but is hoping to get permission for a small vessel and small crew to go out. If the devices are not serviced before batteries die, data could stop recording or be lost altogether. The instrument itself could also become completely unretrievable. “That would be the worst because you’d lose the instrumentation and all the data and a year’s worth of data is very valuable all by itself,” Hildebrand said. With the U.S. experiencing a decrease in international trade, commercial ocean traffic is down significantly. Locally, the volume of shipping at the Port of Los Angeles dropped 30.9 percent in March compared to the previous March and was the lowest amount of monthly cargo moving through the port since February 2009, resulting in a significant economic toll for many industries. “It’s kind of like an experiment is being done, not willingly, but an experiment is being done to make the ocean a quieter place,” Hildebrand said. Sonar noise from naval ships and seismic airgun noise from oil exploration in the Gulf of Mexico are other sources of ocean noise Hildebrand
Ohman said continuous time series such as this are one of the important tools used to understand what the natural ocean cycles are and when ocean characteristics depart from that natural variability. He said without the measurements, they’re shooting in the dark. “The management of some coastal fisheries becomes more difficult.” Ohman said in an email. “Our efforts to understand and create future forecasts of changes in processes like ocean acid-
ification, de-oxygenation of the coastal ocean, changes in coastal upwelling, the onset of harmful algal blooms, and the recruitment and growth of key fisheries (both shellfish and finfish) begin to stall.” He said the spring period is a particularly important time for the onset of coastal upwelling, the production of plankton – which is the base of the ocean food web – and the growth of fish larvae.

A four-phase plan for reopening beaches, public amenities and recreation activities would initially begin on May 15, the same day Redondo Beach’s emergency order to close the boat hoist would expire. By Lindsey Glasgow
Sunset Aquatic Marina of Huntington Harbor
REDONDO BEACH — The Los Angeles County Beaches and Harbors Department has drafted a plan to begin a phased reopening of the county’s waterfront amenities and beaches, which have been closed since late March. The initial phase is tentatively set to begin on May 15, with social distancing and facemask requirements and periodic holiday weekend closures. Phase one, as drafted, would allow the public to walk or run on the beach and swim, boat, paddle, and surf in the ocean. As currently drafted, those activities would be permitted over Memorial Day weekend. However, phase one does not allow for any gathering or sunbathing on the sand and other amenities including the beach bike path, parking lots, piers, volleyball courts and food concession would remain closed. May 15 is also the day an emergency order in Redondo Beach closing the personal watercraft hand launching facility and public boat hoist in Redondo Beach Marina was set to expire. Both were reopened May 15 with the implementation of social distancing and new operational requirements from the Waterfront and Economic Development Department. The bike path on Harbor Drive has also

REDONDO BEACH BOAT HOIST REOPENS, L.A. COUNTY TO PHASE REOPENING OF BEACHES
The personal watercraft hand launching facility and public boat hoist in Redondo Beach Marina reopened May 15; they were closed March 27 by the city to prevent the spread of COVID-19. reopened. The Redondo Beach Marina Parking Lot remains closed but an exception has been extended to boat hoist and personal watercraft hand launch facility users. The drafted phase two of L.A. County Beaches and Harbors reopening would follow six weeks after phase one and would open the beach to gathering and sunbathing within households. It includes opening the beach bike path, piers and parking lots with possible capacity restrictions. The draft also includes a possible closure on July 4. Small gatherings won’t be allowed until phase three, which does not yet have a date. Physical distancing and facemasks would be required through phase three. Phase four would be complete reopening with normal operations. A date has also not been set for phase four. The draft plan was presented to the Redondo Beach City Council at their May 5 meeting for comments. Council members at previous meetings made it clear they were working with county health officials and other beach city mayors to reopen beaches and waterfront amenities as soon as possible. If the draft plan is approved by the county as proposed, Redondo Beach will modify its existing emergency orders to reopen access points to the beach on May 15, with the exception of the stairs at
Ave C. This paper went to press before the draft was approved by the county. Check thelog.com for updates. The Redondo Beach City Council discussed all the city’s emergency orders at their April 21 meeting. They voted to allow the May meetings of the Budget and Finance and Harbor Commissions to proceed for budget review purposes and allow for the re-opening of the Farmers Market in Riviera Village as soon as a plan can be implemented that meets current Los Angeles County Farmers Market requirements. Also at the April 21 meeting, two Redondo Beach waterfront/harbor area leaders were appointed to join the Redondo Beach Disaster Council after concerns were raised the harbor and waterfront were underrepresented on the 17-member council. The Redondo Beach City Council approved the appointment of Chief Deputy Director of LA County Beaches and Harbors Kerry Silverstrom and General Manager of the Port Royal Marina, Kevin Ketchum in a 4-1 vote. The Redondo Beach City Council established the Disaster Council to develop and recommend emergency and mutual aid plans and agreements and such ordinances, resolutions, and rules and regulations as needed to implement such plans and agreements in response to Covid-19.

LOCAL California maritime academy gets OK to start limited classes
Oceanside Historical Society Facebook photo
VALLEJO, CALIF. (AP)—California Maritime State University Academy has received permission to resume limited in-person classes this semester and hopes to send 350 students and staff on its annual summer training cruise – a graduation requirement for cadets, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Cal Maritime is a specialized campus of California State University offering licensed and non-licensed degree
OCEANSIDE—From fishing to
feeding ducks and riding bikes, Facebook users had many memories to share on this photo posted on social media by the Oceanside Historical Society. The caption said the photo was taken at the Buena Vista Lagoon in South Oceanside in 1986. The 350-acre lagoon sits on the border of Oceanside and Carlsbad and is the only freshwater lagoon in California. In 1969 it became California’s first ecological reserve. In recent years, there has been discussion on whether to maintain the Buena Vista Lagoon as freshwater or to open it to the ocean.

programs serving the maritime industry, including training ships’ officers. The move to reopen it comes as California’s other public colleges remain in remote learning mode. Cal Maritime President Thomas Cropper said in a letter to the Vallejo campus that the approval is for “a limited reopening of our campus to resume faceto-face instruction” for completion of the spring 2020 semester. “This decision was run through the Chancellor’s Office and various internal entities of the governor’s office, including the State Department of Public Health, who provided additional guidance consistent with our current plan,” Cropper said. Jesse Melgar, press secretary for Gov. Gavin Newsom, said the school is the only academy of its kind in the state. “The CSU Maritime Academy trains merchant marines, and the maritime workforce is required for shipping and logistics,” Melgar said. The administration has set conditions including strict, unique health and safety guidelines that must be met for the academy to resume limited in-person instruction after May 10, Melgar said. The Chronicle reported that the twomonth training cruise could begin in June. Bob Arp, Cal Maritime’s vice president for university advancement, said each student will have their own room, food delivered to dorms and medical screenings. Social distancing will be practiced during classes and when that’s not possible, students will wear protective gear, he said. The training cruise remains tentative and the crew would be quarantined for seven days aboard ship at dock before sailing, he said.

FILM SERIES ON HISTORY OF SPORTFISHING FEATURING CATALINA ISLAND BEING DEVELOPED By Lindsey Glasgow AVALON—It’s an American pastime
Episode one of the ninepart History of Sportfishing will feature Catalina Island’s Tuna Club and founder Dr. Charles Fredrick Holder, whose leaping tuna catch in 1898 was the first tuna in recorded history ever caught on rod and reel.
almost as old as baseball. Millions share in the passion and their stories often start the same; a young kid goes out on the water and gets hooked. This is how it started for Michael Fowlkes, who is directing and producing a nine-part video series on the history of sportfishing, “I grew up fishing the foothills of rural Virginia almost before I could walk,” Fowlkes said in an email. “When we moved to Southern California in the late 1950s I instantly became a fixture at the old Davey’s Locker #2 landing.” The “History of Sportfishing” series will feature 60- to 90-minute epi-
sodes produced in the spirit and style of award-winning documentarians, Ken Burns and Bruce Brown. Catalina is the birthplace of biggame sport fishing and will be predominately featured in the pilot episode, “The Birth of Big-Game Fishing.” The origin of big-game fishing can be traced to Dr. Charles Fredrick Holder, with his catch of a “leaping tuna” on Catalina Island on June 1, 1898. This was the first tuna in recorded history ever caught on rod and reel. The catch inspired Holder to start the Tuna Club, which is the oldest fishing club in the U.S. Word spread and sportfishing landings began to spring up to meet the demand, barges were anchored off the piers and people flocked to the coast to fish. “Offshore sportfishing as the world

knows it today was born right here in Southern California,” Fowlkes said in an email. “It’s such an amazing story and one that simply needs to be told.” Following chapters titles in the series are The Birth of Bass Fishing; Birth of Fly Fishing; The Evolution of Rods, Reels and Line; The Evolution of Fishing Boats, Motors and Electronics; Spirit of Competition - Freshwater; Spirit of Competition- Saltwater; Women in Sportfishing and The Future of Sportfishing – Conservation. Fowlkes said the idea for the production has been percolating in his mind for years and he has consciously been trying to put the project together for about four months now. “Even though I have a good idea of the direction, look and feel of the overall project, at this stage it’s still very much a work in progress,” Fowlkes said in an email. “So hearing stories about unsung individuals and what they did back in the day makes it all that more exciting.” Fowlkes started working in the boating and fishing industry at 9 years old as a deckhand. He later earned his U.S. Coast Guard Operator’s License, bought his first charter boat and ran charters in San Diego for six years with his wife Kimberly. He transitioned into a career in television, producing shows for National Geographic, Showtime/The Movie Channel, Disney, Discovery, Paramount Pictures and ABC Sports. In 1989, Fowl-
kes created the series Inside Sportfishing, which ran on Fox Sports West for 27 years. The “History of Sportfishing” production includes digitizing thousands of feet of old 8mm, 16mm and 35mm fishing film and hundreds of photos that have been collected over the years. Some of these films are nearly 100 years old. Fowlkes said it’s important to digitize them because time has caused the celluloid filament in the film to dry out and they could soon become dust if not digitized. The digital conversions will then be entrusted for safe keeping to the International Game Fish Association. Funding for the digitizing and the video production is being crowd sourced through a GoFundMe page, gofundme. com/f/history-of-sportfishing. At this point, it’s not yet clear when the film series will debut. Fowlkes said they are in preliminary discussions about having the theatrical world premier inside the Avalon Casino Theatre. He said they’re also in discussions with the major rev-share services regarding the re-release of the Inside Sportfishing library of over 600 episodes. “The premise being that the series will lead into the release of the ‘History of Sportfishing’ films,” Fowlkes said in an email. “Still too early to know for sure, but it’ll be available world-wide.” For more information on the project visit thehistoryofsportfishing.com/.

39th annual Avalon Harbor Underwater Cleanup collects 2,500 pounds of trash
AVALON —On Feb. 22, a record 609 divers and volunteers banded together to cleanup the water under and around Avalon Harbor in an annual tradition. USC Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies said cleanup divers, along with the aid of volunteers, and support from the Avalon Harbor Department, L.A. County Baywatch, and Avalon Environmental Services, removed an astonishing 2,500 pounds of trash during the annual Avalon Harbor Underwater Cleanup. Of the trash collected, 850 pounds were recyclable metal. Awards were given for the most interesting trash finds, which included an intact blazer jacket, mounted navigational light, unopened bottle of German beer, push broom, pepper grinder with peppercorns ready to grind, shrunken alien head, nunchucks and Gucci sunglasses. USC Wrigley Ambassadors also joined the effort on “Plastics Patrol” to collect plastic samples from the marine debris, to study the microbes that naturally grow on and maybe also digest ocean plastics. The sample collection is part of research to develop cleaner coastal communities.

safety is as important as ever. The Log spoke with Safe Boating Expo Co-Chairman Henry Goldman about online resources boaters can access to brush up. “Rather than going to our event, it’s giving the opportunity for everyone to click onto those sites and know every-

The site includes topics such as how to use life jackets, fire extinguishers, flares and more.

BRISTOL, RHODE ISLAND —This year’s US Sailing Championship for youth has been canceled, it was announced on May 5. Chairs of the US Sailing Championship Committee made the decision, after collaborating and consulting with championship host clubs. The May 5 announcement came about three weeks after US Sailing and Pensacola Yacht Club in Florida announced the 2020 U.S. Youth Sailing Championships, which was scheduled to take place June 20-24, would be postponed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. “The 2020 U.S. Youth Sailing Championships have now been officially canceled. Due to this cancelation, the Athlete Selection system for the 2020 Youth Worlds is now under review,” US Sailing staff said in a released statement about the youth championships cancelation. Those who paid a registration fee for this year’s youth championships will have their money refunded, according to
US Sailing staff. “We are very disappointed about the cancelation of our Youth Championships, as we know so many young sailors have prepared and trained for a long time and the host clubs have been working hard as well,” Jack Gierhart, CEO of US Sailing, said in a released statement. “The safety of sailors and the sailing community is paramount and after much internal discussion and collaboration with the host clubs, we decided it prudent for all parties to cancel these regattas in 2020. We look forward to these championships coming back online in 2021, and preparing the necessary measures to host these events safely in 2021 and beyond.” Also canceled this year: U.S. Youth Match Racing Championship, U.S. Junior Women’s Singlehanded and Doublehanded Championships and Chubb U.S. Junior Championships. Contact US Sailing with any questions at championships@USSailing.org.
“With the fire we had in Santa Barbara, people are very conscious of fires on boats,” Goldman said. Without a physical expo this year, there won’t be the opportunity to handout free new life jackets, but it is still important to check them every year and replace them when needed. Make sure your life jacket is U.S. Coast Guard approved, appropriate for your water activity and fits properly. Anyone worried about a life jacket that may have been exposed to the coronavirus can visit safeboatingcampaign.com/news/covid19-cleaning-and-storing-your-life-jacket/ for information on how to clean it. Flares are another item boaters should check every year, safteboating. com provides a video on how to use flares as well as determine if they are out dated. Boaters should check with their local Harbor Patrol Office, fire or sheriff’s department for proper disposal of out dated flares. Those in Channel Islands Harbor can dispose of their flares with the local harbor patrol. Another major component of the expo is green boating. The California Sate Parks Division of Boating and Waterways encourages boaters to download the free Pumpout App Nav, which will help them locate the nearest pumpout and dumpstation. They can also visit bit.ly/2020BoaterKit to get a free boater kit. More clean boating resources can be found at BoatingCleanandGreen.com. Last year, NOAA National Marine Sanctuaries Channel Islands collaborated with BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water, TowBoa-
tUS Ventura, and the U.S. Coast Guard to produce a video providing tips about visiting marine sanctuaries. It includes a first-hand account and video footage of a disabled recreational fishing vessel in grave trouble at California›s Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. The video can be viewed at youtube.com/ watch?v=A0Br1WZYV4I. With Covid-19-realted requirements and restrictions varying from harbor to harbor, boaters should also make sure to check with their harbor and harbors they plan to visit about those before heading out. Boaters are also encouraged to follow local and state guidelines, including social distancing from those outside their household and wearing face coverings where required.

Port of San Diego cancels Big Bay Boom fireworks show
CANCELED
Santa Monica Windjammers (MARCH 14)
Annual fireworks event won’t take place in 2020 due to Covid-19 pandemic.
By Parimal M. Rohit
SAN DIEGO —The Coronavirus pan-
demic has forced the cancelation of this year’s Big Bay Boom fireworks show in San Diego. Big Bay Boom is the annual Fourth of July fireworks program sponsored by the Port of San Diego. Both the port district and the show producer announced the cancelation on May 8, stating the Big Bay Boom show, as a public gather-
ing for live fireworks, could not go forward this year because of California’s Stay-at-Home order. The order indefinitely prohibits large events and gatherings. “Half a million people look forward to the Big Bay Boom each year, and it’s big business for our San Diego Bay waterfront tenants. Ultimately, public health is most important, and we must follow state public health directives which say large public events are not allowed and aren’t likely to be allowed for some time,” Port of San Diego CEO Randa Coniglio said in a released statement. “We look forward to the return of this celebratory and captivating event in 2021.” Big Bay Boom, however, will take place on July 4 as a virtual event, ac-
cording to port district staff. “Like many events this year, the Big Bay Boom is going virtual. The public is invited to tune in to a live television special to air on Saturday, July 4, 2020 on FOX 5 (San Diego) and KTLA (Los Angeles). While details are still to come, the special will feature Big Bay Boom fireworks from past years, along with special interviews and content,” according to port district staff. The annual fireworks show on San Diego Bay does have a history of appearing on television – with a large audience watching. Port district staff said more than 125,000 people watch the Big Bay Boom fireworks show on television in 2019. “This year, we’re focusing all our efforts on the TV special and plan to include even more content to celebrate our nation’s independence,” Sandy Purdon, Big Bay Boom’s executive producer, said in a released statement.
Coronavirus limits Santa Barbara boaters & anglers SANTA BARBARA —Two signs stood in front of the Santa Barbara Harbor boat launch ramp on April 26: one sign signaled the delay of ocean salmon fishing due to COVID-19, while the other listed Coronavirus protocols for boaters to follow when using the boat launch ramp. No word on when the guidelines would be lifted. The Pacific Fisheries Management Council, however, suggested the ocean salmon fishing season for the Santa Barbara area begin on May 1 and run through Oct. 4. There was, nonetheless, a steady stream of boaters launching from the ramp on April 26. An observation of the photo with the sign listing the Coronavirus guidelines: two aluminum cans, three plastic water bottles and what appears to be crumpled foil littered along the walkway leading to one of the boat launch ramp’s docks.

LOU work GERLINGER’S and life REMEMBERED Gerlinger owned The Log from 1975 until 1990 and was an avid boater. By Lindsey Glasgow and Parimal Rohit

SAN DIEGO
Lou Gerlinger
hen Lou Gerlinger met William Roberts, Roberts was producing San Diego Log, a monthly publication with a circulation of about 5,000 copies, from his boat in San Diego. His office and news desk consisted of a long table by the fireplace in the dining room of the Red Sails Inn on Shelter Island Drive.
Gerlinger, a retired arson investigator for the state, was writing his adventures sailing from San Diego to Mexico – exploring and charting every port from La Paz to Loreto – in a column published in the monthly newspaper. When the paper went for sale in 1975, Gerlinger and his wife Betty purchased it and moved the office to a small building in the back of their Point Loma home. The full-time staff included their daughter, Lise Grato and son, Lou Gerlinger Jr. Grato distinctly remembered the small size of the first office, saying it was about 12 feet by 10 feet. “We’d leave school and go to work,” Grato said. “We’d get dinner and use a newspaper as a placemat then we’d go home and repeat.” Grato remembered hanging the old ticker tape on their Christmas tree during the holidays, sailing on Lake Tahoe, watching the first moon landing in 1969 on a tiny black and white TV on the bridge of her family’s 35-foot Rawson in Alameda and the three springs her family spent sailing their Alegria from San Diego to Mexico. “My dad passed along his love of adventure to me,” Grato said in an email. “Our trip to Mexico installed a love of travel.” Gerlinger died on April 9. He was 98. Gerlinger was born on October 31, 1921 in Portland, Oregon. He attended high school in California, graduating from Beverly Hills High School. Gerlinger washed planes at the Santa Monica Airport where pilots would invite him to fly and he eventually got his pilot license. The summer months of his teen years were spent in Oregon working for the Forest Service. Gerlinger would later graduate San Jose State University with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. He served in the Army Air Corp and Air Force, serving in World War II and earning the rank of lieutenant. He then served in the reserves in Sacramento, where he met his wife, Betty Elaine Edgar, who was in the Civil Air Patrol at the same base. They married in Sacramento in the late 1950s. They had a daughter, Lise (Elisabet Anne), in December 1960 and son, Louis Jr., in September 1964. Gerlinger served as the Chief Arson Investigator for the California Division of Forestry for about 25 years and retired in the late 1960s at 50 years old. He returned to San Jose State to attain his Master’s Degree with the intent of teaching criminal justice at the university level. Gerlinger was an avid boater and owned many boats throughout his lifetime, including a 22-foot Ensign, 27foot Commander, 35-foot Alberg, 35foot Rawson, 40-foot Newporter and an Alegria.

death in 1981. (Gerlinger’s children both went on go to work in the newspaper industry.) As for The Log, Gerlinger left his mark on the publication, delivering hard hitting news with each issue. Some things never changed – an article appearing on the front page of the final issue of 1985, for example, reported on the Coast Guard warning owners of foreign-built boats to provide proof of entry documentation. The article – written by Gerlinger himself – is reminiscent of more recent articles in The Log about Southern California boaters requiring certain documentation when traveling to and from ports in Ensenada, Los Cabos or La Paz. There were also reports of boat collisions, boaters gone missing in the South Pacific, murder investigations – an editorial direction different from the current regime’s focus on policy and features. FishRap did not exist during Gerlinger’s tenure, and sailing stories co-existed alongside regular news stories. The front page had actual content, instead of teasers to a handful of stories, as is the current practice. The Log also expanded beyond San Diego during Gerlinger’s tenure. He added a Los Angeles bureau, for example. It wasn’t long before The Log was covering San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles. Also featured in The Log were photo spreads and gear reviews. Two issues of The Log had a commentary by John Rains – it was headlined, “Guns and Boats: A Special Report.” Rains wrote two editorials about the value of keeping a gun aboard one’s boat and how to properly treat/respect firearms. Everyone affiliated with The Log for the past 40-some years owes Gerlinger a debt of gratitude. He had a vision for the publication and realized it during his tenure as The Log’s publisher. Gerlinger continued to be involved with The Log, even after selling it to new ownership in the 1990s. He would regularly write news stories under the alias of “Log News Service.” His stories often focused on sailing or broad boating news stories from abroad. The Log wouldn’t be what it is today, but for Gerlinger’s tireless efforts. He was a pioneer and visionary.

“In the mid 60’s, he [Gerlinger] started a company called Lake Tahoe Sailboats offering Pearson Yachts,” Grato said in an email. “Pearson Yachts was one of the first fiberglass sailboat manufacturers.” In the 1970s, Gerlinger bought a home in San Diego and joined San Diego Yacht Club. “That house was in Point Loma on Sunset Cliffs Blvd. overlooking the ocean he loved so much,” Grato said in an email. In 1972, the family went on their first sailing trip from San Diego to Mexico, where Gerlinger met Vern Jones, which resulted in a partnership to revise Jones’s book, “Baja Cruising Notes.” “His dinghy had come lose and the family retrieved the boat and started a friendship,” Grato said in an email. The revised book was published in 1974, according to Amazon books, as “Baja California Cruising Notes” written by Vern Jones with additions, corrections and editing by Lou Gerlinger. For three springs, the family cruised the coast of Mexico, sailing to La Paz, Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta, Matalan and other ports on the west coast of Mexico. Gerlinger wrote columns about cruising in Mexico for San Diego Log and Pacific Skipper. He also taught a course on cruising in Mexico. “The family trip became an adventure charting and researching each navigable harbor from La Paz to Loreto,” Grato said in an email. Grato said in 1975, her dad took a teaching position at Pima College in Tucson, Arizona, starting in the spring semester but in May, bought San Diego Log and returned to San Diego. “He used his investigative talents to become an excellent, self-taught reporter and moved the paper to a strict AP style,” Grato said in an email. Grato said she was 14 or 15 years old when her dad bought the paper and instead of going to work at a fast food joint like other kids her age, she got to work for the family business. Grato sold advertising, wrote stories and worked on the boat shows, Lou Jr. worked on the technical side and Betty worked as the assistant publisher, office manager and bookkeeper until her

TOP CORNER Another White Sea Bass Bites the Dust NEWPORT BEACH — Balboa Angling Club recently posted this photo of member Vick Sommers, who reeled in a 57.4-pound white sea bass on 16-pound test. Sommers made the catch on April 26, using bait and fighting the fish for 32 minutes. He was aboard Sleeper, with Aaron (no last name provided) serving as the boat’s skipper. Sommers appears to be a regular when it comes to catching white sea bass, according to Balboa Angling Club’s post on Facebook. “Vick Sommers does it again, with another white sea bass,” the post on April 28 read. “Will Vick be conducting a hot to get a WSB button seminar this year,” one person commented, tongue-in-cheek. Another comment on the Facebook post said, “WSB don’t stand a chance when Vic’s [sic] on the water.”
Recreational ocean fishery opened on May 1 Anglers were directed to ‘strictly follow state and local health guidelines.’ By Parimal M. Rohit SACRAMENTO — California’s Department
of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) allowed the recreational ocean fishery, which includes angling for ocean salmon, groundfish and Pacific halibut, on May 1, as planned. The season opens annually on May 1 and continues through the fall. The ocean salmon season start applies to the Fort Bragg, San Francisco and Monterey areas; Monterey includes Central and Southern California. Anglers will also be able to fish for groundfish in other management areas. Pacific halibut fishing also opened statewide on May 1. “Anglers are reminded to abide by all state and local health guidelines regard-
ing non-essential travel and physical distancing,” CDFW staff said in a released statement. “Staying home in order to stay healthy is the best way to keep yourself and others safe. Anglers are also advised to check with local authorities on the status of harbor services and access points as many site closures and access restrictions exist and may change daily.” Anglers are limited to using only one line with up to two hooks for the recreational Pacific halibut fishery. Harpoon, gaff or net may be used to assist an angler in the taking of a legally caught Pacific halibut. Take by spearfishing is also allowed. The ocean salmon season is slated to run from May 1 to Nov. 8, with a daily bag limit of two salmon of any species (except soho). The minimum size limit is 20 inches, total length. “No more than two daily bag limits may be in possession when on land,” according to state regulations. “On a vessel in ocean waters, no person shall possess or bring

Ocean anglers were allowed to be out on the water on May 1 for the start of the 2020 ocean salmon season. The season is expected to continue through the fall. ashore more than one daily bag limit.” California’s ocean salmon, groundfish and Pacific halibut fisheries are governed by federal regulations; the Pacific Fishery Management Council makes policy recommendations on all three fisheries. Regulations for state waters are made by the California Fish and Game Commission and match federal season dates. There are several hotlines available for the three fisheries: Ocean salmon, 707-576-3429 (CDFW), 800-662-9825 (National Marine Fisheries Service) Recreational groundfish, 831-649-2801 (CDFW) Pacific halibut, 831-649-2801 (CDFW), 800-662-9825 (National Marine Fisheries Service).

An official tweet on San Diego County’s Twitter page stated people must wear facemasks whenever they are in the public space and engaging with anyone other than members of their own household. “Face coverings are required anytime you leave your home and come within 6 feet of a person who is not a household contact,” the tweet, posted on May 1, stated. Mark Stainbrook, the chief of Port of San Diego’s Harbor Police Department, issued a statement assuring public safety as the port district slowly begins to resume activities and operations during the Covid-19 pandemic. “We can assure that our public safety services will continue 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Whatever the situation, Harbor Police officers are ready to respond,” Stainbrook said in his public statement, issued via Twitter on April 30. Port district CEO and President Randa Coniglio said the waterfront is “open for business.” “Our marine terminals are operating, we’re holding meetings virtually – including regularly scheduled and special board meetings – and our executive leadership team is meeting every day,” Coniglio said. Coniglio added the port district added extra hand washing stations along the embarcadero. The state of California, meanwhile, is beginning a phased reopening of businesses and public spaces. Some logistics, manufacturing and retail businesses were permitted to open on May 8. Those businesses included bookstores, clothing stores, florists, golf courses and sporting goods stores. Certain state-mandated protocols, however, had to be followed. Offices, dine-in restaurants, shopping malls and schools would be part of the next phase of openings. Movie theaters and sport venues, which are considered the highest risk locations, would be the last phase of openings. The state might have allowed a soft re-opening on May 8, but Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office stated some counties could maintain stricter stay at home orders. Those orders would be allowed to remain in place beyond May 8, if a specific county determined a stricter policy was necessary.
BRINGS IMPROVED SURFACE FISHING By Bob Vanian SAN DIEGO—Private boaters in San
Diego County recently had things open up to where they are now able to go out fishing on the bays and the ocean with members of the same household and a lot of people have been taking advantage of the newly opened up bays and launch ramps to get out on the water sampling the fishing. Please check local restrictions as to wearing face masks and with regard to the parking of vehicles around launch ramps. The ocean fishing is picking up on a couple of fronts with bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna and yellowtail biting in offshore waters and with the Coronado Islands producing good mixed bag fishing for yellowtail, bonito, calico bass and barracuda. Further north, Catalina Island has been producing good mixed bag fishing for yellowtail, white seabass, calico bass and barracuda and San Clemente Island has been productive for a mix of yellowtail, calico bass and barracuda. The red tide conditions along the coast have been improving some and if that trend continues, there is reason to hope for significant improvement in the surface fishing around coastal kelp bed areas sometime soon. After a 10-day period of scratchy offshore fishing things improved over the past weekend with bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna and yellowtail biting around some of the offshore banks below and outside of Los Coronado Islands. The area of the 371 Bank and the Upper Hidden Bank were the best spots over the past weekend with bluefin biting that went to 150 pounds and with good-sized yellowfin tuna biting that were in the 25- to 60-pound range. Most of the yellowtail found around offshore kelp paddies were in the 6- to 12-pound range. Please visit fishrapnews.com for the rest of this report. Bob Vanian is the voice, writer and researcher of the San Diego-based internet fish report service called 976-Bite.

Port district staff said this directive is compliant with San Diego County’s latest amended public health order. “The port is gradually re-opening public spaces in compliance with county health guidance and in coordination with other coastal jurisdictions,” port district staff said in a released public statement.
The following activities are not allowed, under the county public health order and port district directive: Gatherings Non-physical distancing activities Stopping/lying down in beaches or parks Fishing from shoreline. The following locations are still closed, as part of an attempt to limit the spread of COVID-19: Parks Piers Park parking lots Chula Vista boat launch ramp.
