BIZARRE

Another Weird Fact About Sharks? Yes, This One Glows in the Dark. A study done in New Zealand found three species of bioluminescent sharks.

By: JORDAN B. DARLING NEW ZEAL AND —Sharks are cool, but

sharks that glow-in-the-dark are way cooler. Researchers in New Zealand have pulled up three different species of bioluminescent sharks from the Chatham Rise, an eastward extension of the New Zealand continental shelf which is completely submerged underwater. This is the first physical documentation of the shark’s luminescence, including the largest recorded luminescent vertebrae the kitefin shark which can reach up to six-feet, and two species of lantern sharks. The study revealed that luminous sharks produce a blue-green light that is used as a signal to warn off predators, recognize other members of the species, and creates a counter to the light coming in that allows the animal to camouflage themselves. The glow-in-the-dark effect is from

photophores, light-producing organs, embedded in the shark’s skin, and the study showed that the light is controlled through hormones. The research was published in an article on Frontiers in Marine Science as a part of an overarching research topic under Bioluminescence from Land to the

Oceans: Its Role in Evolution, Communication, and Ecology. The article titled, Bioluminescence of the Largest Luminous Vertebrate the Kitefin Shark, Daltatias licha: First Insights and Comparative Aspects was published on Feb. 26 by Jérôme Mallefet and Laurent Duchatelet, from the Marine Bi-

ology Laboratory, Earth and Life Institue, at the Université catholique de Louvain and Darren W. Stevens from the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research in Wellington New Zealand. The study states that the mention of bioluminescent sharks dates back to the 1800s but studies about the phenomenon are still relatively new with the lead researcher Mallefet leading the charge. “Bioluminescence has often been seen as a spectacular yet uncommon event at sea but considering the vastness of the deep sea and the occurrence of luminous organisms in this zone, it is now more and more obvious that producing light at depth must play an important role structuring the biggest ecosystem on our planet.” said the Feb. 26 article.

Letters/Online Comments RE: “Boatel, food hall,

water taxi among initial concepts for Channel Islands Harbor visioning” (FEB. 5-18)

There are no Theme Destination Project Directors involved in this notable harbor on the West Coast. This county plays games with consultant fees going to friends that have no experience in harbors. It is set up for failure as is and run-on dark money. The poll was not opened to state, the true stakeholders of this harbor, it’s public land. Then you have the people/ leads on the Nextdoor website who undermine facts about this project and how dirty it is. By the way, this is the fifth largest harbor on West Coast, so maybe do some research, and the Boatel at former Harbor Town in Ventura was a bust! Maybe hire a Project Theme Director and ditch anyone who has no harbor theme experience. This has been stalled for 25+ years. Now, do you get it? It’s the new way to do favors for your friends or family with Consulting Contracts. — Dotty Pringle

RE: “Ports O’ Call Village

1971” (MARCH 5-18)

The days of old. I was a dishwasher at The Siam West Restaurant in 1984. I remember a man dressed up as a native American like a statue and then scaring folks as they walked by. The many times in the 70s and 80s when filming a movie and meeting stars, they were pretty common at Ports of Call. The great food and music that were found every weekend were very enjoyable. I hope the future at the site/The San Pedro Marketplace, will bring back good times for future generations for years to come. — Michael W Campbell

FAST FACTS

Don’t Feel Guilty About Gefilte Fish By: JORDAN B. DARLING UNITED STATES —As we near the

last days of Passover, I thought we could take a look back at one of the more fishy moments in history. In the winter of 2013, the northern part of the United States was plunged into a polar vortex that by the time spring rolled around left the Great Lakes region with four-feet of ice on the lakes and a low supply of white fish, the preferred variety for the “spam of Jewish food” gefilte fish according to an April 15, 2014, article on Grub Street. Normally I could not care less about the pickled colorless blob that is gefilte fish but I acknowledge that it has graced my Nana’s Passover table every year since before I was a twinkle in my father’s eye. In April of 2014, the shortage of fish left many Jewish families in a scramble, and commercial agencies pulling their hair out as their shipments of fish were mere fractions of their orders. “Everybody’s pulling their hair out,” said Kevin Dean, co-owner of Superior Fish Co., a wholesaler near Detroit whose latest shipment provided just 75-pounds of whitefish although he requested 500-pounds, in an April 15, 2014 article from NBC News. “I’ve never seen it this bad this time of year.” The shortage was felt across the United States but mainly by those looking for fresh white fish to avoid the processed jarred fish.

The Great Lakes were completely frozen over in 2014 causing a white fish shortage and many families scrambling to find gefilte fish for their holiday tables. A dietary rule on Passover is to avoid all wheat and bread-like products, which can include processed foods because they could have been prepared in the same space as products that contain, flour, yeast, wheat, oats, etc. In an April 18, 2014 interview with NPR Matt Chaban a New York Times reporter, shared that bigger suppliers like Manischewitz order their fish a year in advance because they have

dealt with shortages in the past. While this is a kosher-approved supplier those that are strictly observant and avoid processed food had a harder time that year obtaining fresh white fish to make their own gefilte. Much to my chagrin, there is no such problem for 2021, although we are still in a pandemic there is plenty of geflite fish to go around. Happy Pesach everyone!

Southern California Nonprofit Organizations Awarded West

Dog Aboard

Marine BlueFuture Grants WATSONVILLE— Boating, fishing, and sailing retailer West Marine has awarded more than $100,000 in grants during the 20202021 grant cycle to 64 community-based nonprofits across the country through its BlueFuture program. Among them were several in Southern California including South Bayfront Sailing Association in Chula Vista, Oceanside Yacht Club Youth Foundation, Dana West Youth Sailing, San Diego Imperial Council Boy Scouts of America, and Clear Blue Sea. BlueFuture was created by West Marine six years ago to support and encourage nonprofit organizations dedicated to getting young people out on and around the water in recreational and educational capacities. Throughout the month of December, customers were able to make donations both online and in-person at all West Marine stores to benefit the BlueFuture grants program. Each of the top 10 fundraising stores were given the opportunity to choose a local nonprofit in their community to receive a BlueFuture grant. Stores in San

Diego and Newport Beach were among this year’s top 10 stores and their selected organizations were Oceanside Yacht Club Youth Foundation and the San Diego-Imperial Council Boy Scouts. “These grants would not be possible without our customers and their donations to BlueFuture. In a year filled with uncertainty, we were able to raise the money for our largest grant cycle to date. West Marine truly has the best customers and their generosity and commitment to getting the next generation out on the water inspires us,” said Ken Seipel, CEO of West Marine, in a March 23 released statement. “With so many youth-focused nonprofits losing funding in 2020, we are proud to continue our BlueFuture grants and support these organizations who connect future generations to the water through recreation and education initiatives.”

LEGAL ADVICE

ask a maritime attorney By David Weil

Should My Yacht Club Include a Liability Waiver for Races?

QUESTION:

I am on the race management committee for my yacht club and our committee is concerned about the exposure of the club and its volunteers to liability during races and other events. We have considered asking participants to sign a waiver but some of our members have questioned whether that kind of waiver would be enforceable. Other members contend that all participants in a sport such as yacht racing automatically assume the risk of injury, and to complicate things even further, we have learned that the Racing Rules of Sailing prohibit the use of liability waivers in race documents. Can you provide some guidance? ANSWER: Our reader is basically asking whether his yacht club should include a liability release in its race documents. The short answer is yes. The question of whether that release will be frowned upon by the sailing community is a lot more complicated, as is the question of whether the release will be enforceable. Let’s start with our reader’s reference to competitors automatically assuming the risk of injury through their participation in the event. The “Assumption of Risk” doctrine provides a defense against a lawsuit where the injured party knowingly participated in a dangerous activity and was injured in a way that he or she could have reasonably foreseen. I should note that the application of this doctrine under maritime law will differ from a case decided under California state law,

but we’ll save that discussion for another day. Assumption of Risk cases usually arises in the context of an employment or sporting or recreational activity, where the nature of the activity may give rise to certain obvious risks. For example, under this doctrine, a lion tamer who is employed by a circus may not be able to sue the circus if he gets bit by a lion. The doctrine sounds simple enough, but the application of the doctrine can be complicated when the scope of risk within the activity is ambiguous. For example, looking at our lion tamer, he could have anticipated the risk of a bite from the lion, but what if he was injured instead when the circus tent collapsed? Assumption of the risk does not provide a defense where the injury was outside of

the reasonably anticipated risks associated with the activity. The question of whether a risk should have been “reasonably anticipated” will invariably lead to litigation, and this is where a written liability release may help race organizers to limit their liability. Unlike the Assumption of Risk doctrine, courts have consistently upheld written liability waivers in a recreational maritime context, so long as the language of the waiver is clear, unambiguous, and prominently positioned on the document. Courts have distinguished this defense from the Assumption of Risk doctrine because the waiver is a form of contract which can be freely accepted or rejected by the participants on both sides of the equation before anyone leaves the dock. Many liability waivers or release documents also include language which requires the participant to “indemnify” the race organizers against third-party claims. An indemnification agreement goes beyond a simple release or waiver of liability, in that it also requires the participant to defend the race organizers against claims brought by third parties. This seems a bit onerous at first, but it is often necessary to bring crewmembers under the liability release umbrelPlease see ATTORNEY, PAGE 13

Candela plans to launch its new foiling Candela P-30 as soon as next year with the intention of the ferries eventually replacing the city’s aging fleet of 60 diesel boats that serve commuters and visitors. After sea trials, the P-30 will start commercial operation in 2023. At its introduction, the foiling P-30 will hold the distinction of setting several world records. It will be the longest-range electric passenger ship, as well as the fastest. It will also be the most energy-efficient fast ship ever built. Funded jointly by Stockholm technology boat builder Candela, and the Swedish transport authority, the P-30 flies on computer-controlled hydrofoils which reduce energy consumption by 80 percent compared to the best fast ferries of today. The all-electric commuter ferries will soar above the waves on foils, quietly carrying up to 30 passengers at speeds up to 30 knots. “Today, most of our waterways are unused for mass transit, even though most highways are congested during rush-hour traffic. Opening up urban waterways for high-speed electric transport can revolutionize commuting in cities such as San Francisco, Seoul or Amsterdam – at a very low cost,” said Gustav Hasselskog, the founder and CEO of Candela, in a March 25 released statement. “There’s no need to build new infrastructure.”

California DBW Offers Grants for Invasive Mussel Prevention SACRAMENTO— The California State Parks

Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) will be accepting grant applications for quagga and zebra mussel infestation prevention programs through April 30.

The Quagga and Zebra Mussel Infestation Grant Program will award up to $3 million to eligible applicants. Owners and managers of uninfested reservoirs as defined in Section 6004.5 of the California Water Code are eligible to apply. Funds are available for prevention projects such as planning, watercraft inspection stations, and inspectors, launch monitors, watercraft decontamination units, educational signage, and outreach. These competitive grants are intended to augment local resources and to help prevent the westward spread of mussel infestation via the Colorado River system due to the potential harm to state waterways if state lakes and reservoirs be invaded. DBW provides these grants to entities that own or manage any aspect of water in a reservoir that is open for public recreation and is mussel-free. Application review and scoring will be conducted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and DBW. All applications must be received by 5 p.m. on April 30. The final award decision will be made by DBW’s Acting Deputy Director Fernandez, with the grants expected to be encumbered by September 2021. To learn more, visit dbw.parks. ca.gov/?page_id=28822.

Christening the Flagship Oceanside Sportfishing Vessel By: LINDSEY GLASGOW OCEANSIDE— Sportfishing has been a popular hobby and career for many throughout Southern California. Pictured here is the christening of Oceanside, a sportfishing vessel operated by McCullah Brothers out of Oceanside. McCullah Brothers first operated from Oceanside pier and relocated to the harbor shortly after its opening in 1963. “No matter what kind of ocean fisherman a person may be, he should be able to find the brand of fishing that suits him at the Oceanside Municipal pier this season, as the McCullah Brothers, Ray, and Carl, take over operation of the Oceanside sport fishing facilities,” stated a March 10, 1950 article from the Blade Tribune. “The two veteran fishermen, who formerly operated at Newport Beach, will open their sport fishing season here April 1. The city has signed [a] contract with McCullah Brothers, after investigating sport fishing operators up and down the coast.”

WHAT’S ON TAP : The Port will now go back

Port of San Diego’s Native Oyster Living Shoreline Project Awarded Nearly $1 Million Grant WHAT HAPPENED : The Native Oyster Living

Shoreline Project, a partnership of the Port of San Diego and California Coastal Conservancy, has been awarded a $960,533 grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The grant is one of eight Coastal Wetlands Conservation Projects selected as part of the Service’s National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grants Program for 2021.

“We are honored to be among other great projects that received grant funding for wetlands restorations and enhancements throughout California,” said Chairman Michael Zucchet, Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners, in a March 12 released statement. As a step to move the project forward, the Board of Port Commissioners adopted a Port Master Plan Amendment (PMPA), which allowed the Port to add the project and project description to the current Port Master Plan, and authorized conditional issuance of a Coastal Development Permit at the

to the Coastal Commission once more so they can accept the adopted PMPA before the project can commence. Installation of the native oyster living shoreline could begin as early as this spring but could be this fall or spring 2022, dependent on the native oyster recruitment season. The project will place a total of 360 constructed reef ball elements in a series of six arrays at two tidal elevations in hopes of establishing native oyster populations that create structurally complex “reef” habitat for fish, birds, invertebrates, and aquatic plants. The project is also expected to improve local water quality via oyster water filtration

tivities such as fishing or docking do not require the use of an ECOS. The vessel operator is also exempt if the boat’s motor produces less than 115-pounds of static thrust – or about the size of a 2-hp engine. “All the normal things you do at a low speed don’t really change, what does change is again, if you’re going fast on a small boat under 26-feet,” said Croft. As this is a federal law, states do not have the ability to enforce the regulation. However, seven states, Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, and Texas, currently have their own ECOS laws. BoatUS expects most states to amend their regulations to match federal law over the coming years. “This is really a way, a smoother way to get the states to embrace engine cutoff switches in a more efficient manner, in a more uniform manner,” said Croft. While boat operators who fail to follow the new requirement could face a $100 civil penalty for the first offense, BoatUS expects the U.S. Coast Guard’s initial focus will be education. “The Coast Guard’s not looking to write everybody up right away,” said Croft. “They really want to educate.” There a re ma ny d i f fer ent scenarios as many different boats with different builds exist, boaters with questions can visit uscgboating.org/recreational-boaters/engine-cut-offswitch-faq.php for frequently asked questions.

and settling of sediments, as well as increase wetland connectivity to intertidal and subtidal lands. The total estimated project cost is $1,384,625. The $424,092 not covered by the grant will be funded by the Conservancy. “The San Diego Bay Oyster Living Shoreline Project will increase the resilience and biodiversity of one of California’s most iconic and beloved waterfronts, and these federal dollars are being matched by state funding thanks to the people of California, who consistently support the protection and restoration of our natural resources,” said Sam Schuchat, executive officer of the California State Coastal Conservancy, in a March 12 released statement.

Ventura Port District Board of Port Commissioners voted on March 17 to formally withdraw the port’s applications for a shellfish farm off Ventura Harbor from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and California Coastal Commission. By: LINDSEY GLASGOW VENTURA — The Ventura Port District

Board of Port Commissioners has voted to formally withdraw the port’s applications for a shellfish farm in federal waters off Ventura Harbor, a project known as the Ventura Shellfish Enterprise. On March 17 the board voted to approve a staff recommendation to formally withdraw applications for the VSE project from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and California Coastal Commission on Aug. 31 and to also provide support for the establishment of a Southern California Aquaculture Opportunity Area near Ventura Harbor by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. “At the time what we believe is the best path forward to move the needle and bring aquaculture to the Santa Barbara Channel,” said Ventura Port District General Manager Brian Pendleton at the March 17 meeting. Commissioner Everard Ashworth made the motion to approve the staff recommendation to withdraw the VSE applications with the modification they not be pulled until Aug. 31. “That’s the date on which our [Sea] grant terminates and I think it would be bad form for us to try and pull those permits in advance and I think we really want to live out our commitments under our Sea Grant and that would terminate on Aug. 31,” said Ashworth at the meeting. The VSE project was given two Sea Grants, one in 2015 and one in 2018, for some of the data collection work for the project. Pendleton said they have met and exceeded many of the grant deliverables to date and will work closely with Sea Grant to conclude any remaining deliverables in a way both parties are in agreement with. The VSE project has been in the works since 2015 and would have entailed developing 20, 100-acre plots that the private sector could sub-permit to grow Mediterranean mussels in federal waters about 3.5 miles from Ventura Harbor in the Santa Bar bara Channel. VSE was a partnership be tween the Ventura Port District, Coastal Marine Biolabs, Cul-

tured Abalone, and Ashworth Leininger Group." The decision to pull the applications came in response to regulatory challenges that were expected to result in a lengthy processing time. The Ventura Port District submitted permit and project applications in October 2018 to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and California Coastal Commission for the project. However, the Corps paused its consideration pending the resolution of a dispute with the Ventura County Local Agency Formation Commission because the project was to be located outside the existing territorial boundaries of the Ventura Port District. A staff report from the March 17 meeting also said the California Fish and Game Commission indicated they faced significant challenges in processing aquaculture applications, such as the VSE project, due to resource constraints. At the same time, NOAA has identified Southern California as one of two proposed Aquaculture Opportunity Areas (AOA), according to a staff report. If successful, the AOA process could facilitate expedited permitting for aqua-

NOAA is also considering an alternative that would identify potential aquaculture sites located in the Santa Barbara Channel, partially based upon the science and data collected about sustainable long line mussel farming for the VSE project over the past six-plus years of work, the staff report said. “If you look what the VSE has done,

it’s really advanced how it is you’re going to put in new aquaculture in the United States,” said Commissioner Everard Ashworth at the meeting. Commissioner Ashworth also went on to say they would vigorously support continued advocacy efforts for the establishment of sustainable aquaculture farms in the Santa Barbara Channel off of Ventura Harbor.

Catalina Island’s economy is hurting as COVID-19 restrictions led to much less visitors coming to the island from cross channel carriers and cruise ships in 2020. Meanwhile, some boater owners say they’ve had more time to visit and enjoy Catalina Island as COVID-19 cleared other events on schedule.

Private Boaters Help Keep Catalina Island Afloat During Year of COVID While visitation to the island was down 143 percent between March 2020 through February 2021 from March 2019 through February 2020, private vessel traffic was only down 12 percent. By: LINDSEY GLASGOW AVALON — Empty streets have started

to bloom back to life and longer boarding lines have begun to form for the cross-channel carriers, promising signs for a busy summer season on Catalina Island after an economically challenging 12 months due to COVID-19. “I think probably the most striking thing was during the periods where we were in the most severe closures and you would walk around town and see three and five people, not the 300 and 500 that are sort of normal, the emptiness of the streets was really striking,” said Jim Luttjohann, president and CEO of Love Catalina Island, the Catalina Island Tourism Authority. With Los Angeles County meeting the state’s requirements to move out of the strictest purple tier of the state’s color-coded reopening blueprint and into the red tier on March 15, the island has

begun to invite leisure travelers back. Luttjohann said activity on the once empty streets is now at about 50 percent of normal. Suzy Gardner, the chief development officer for Catalina Island Conservancy, said things looked to also be

picking up for the Catalina Express, with whom she shares an office building in Long Beach. “I can look out of my office and see everyone lined up for the boat so I can definitely see it’s already picking up,” said

Gardner. The island depends heavily on tourism to fuel its economy, typically welcoming more than 1 million visitors a year. Arrivals to the island between March 2020 through February 2021 were down 143 percent compared to March 2019 through February 2020, according to numbers provided by Love Catalina. Cruise ship traffic was down 4,054 percent and the cross channel was down 98.8 percent between March 2020 through February 2021 from March 2019 through February 2020. One thing that COVID-19 and state restric1,000k 1,200k tions left nearly untouched was boating. Private vessel traffic to Catalina Island was down just 12 percent for the same time Helicopter period. “I think the volume was a surprise yes, we did anticipate that we would still have some boater traffic because we gen-

erally do perennially have a good baseline of boat-based business but I think the number was surprising and a relief,” said Luttjohann, Total visitor-driven revenue for the city of Avalon was down from $13.85 million in 2019 to $9.28 million in 2020, according to numbers from the city of Avalon. In total nightly mooring fees, private vessels contributed $1.51 million to the city of Avalon in 2020, down just slightly from $1.56 million in 2019. There were even some months in 2020, July, September, October, and December, where the amount of nightly mooring fees collected were up compared to the same months in 2019. “They’ve really been an amazing baseline for keeping our economy limping along in all honesty,” said Luttjohann. Will Partridge, the committee chairperson for the San Diego Yacht Club Buffalo Beach outstation on Catalina Island, said he took a few extra trips to the island this past summer because so many events were canceled and there wasn’t much open to do. “We’re fortunate as boaters to have that island and be able to use it and I think the Catalina Conservancy has really done a good job of adjusting and making the island available to people that want to enjoy the outdoors over there,” said Partridge. “I think you’re finding more people enjoying the island for its natural beauty by going over there dropping an anchor, enjoying themselves,” said Michael Toerge, the President of the Catalina Marineros, a group of Conservancy members who are boaters or people who enjoy the ocean. With many businesses, restaurants, retailers, and hotels also taking a big economic hit from the pandemic, supporting local businesses where they could was also at the forefront of many boaters’ minds. “I think I remember in the beginning going on our first summer fishing trip we decided not to get so many things at the grocery store just for the purpose of going and getting takeout in Avalon and bringing it back to the boat to kind of support the businesses there,” said Will Partridge. Officials have said if positive cases continue to trend downward, it’s possible L.A. County could move into the lessstrict orange tier this month. As of March 23, it had been 40 days since the last positive COVID-19 case on the island, the

Catalina Island Medical Center reported. “Because the community observed the public health safety guidelines that we shared with them and encouraged them to do those things, I think that’s one of the reasons our positive test cases has remained relatively low,” said Tina Minh, the chief communications and development officer for CIMC. CIMC CEO Jason Paret encouraged visitors to the island to continue to practice all the safety protocols mandated by L.A. County. “We continue to stay vigilant, even with vaccinations happening,” said Minh. Minh said COVID-19 has brought new emphasis to the importance of having a medical center on Catalina with enough space to meet the needs of the island, whose population and number of visitors have quadrupled since the hospital opened in 1960. In order to do that and in order to comply with the California Hospital Association Seismic Safety mandate, CIMC has begun the process of building a new medical facility, which will partly be funded by boaters through a special tax on moorings beginning in 2022. “Access to a full-fledged emergency department is really, really key for tourism and for people to come visit [and] feel safe,” said Minh. With cases trending down and vaccinations happening nationwide, including at CIMC, many are optimistic for an economic turnaround on the island this year. “I do have to say we are expecting and hoping for a busy summer,” said Gardner. Luttjohann encouraged those planning to visit the island to plan ahead and when possible, to book reservations in advance for cross channel carrier tickets, hotels, restaurants, and tours, as many are still under restricted capacity. As for boaters, Partridge said he expects they will continue to support the island this coming summer season and maybe in even higher numbers as it has been reported boat sales were up in the state in 2020. “I think it’ll be much the same as last year, maybe even a little more impact in terms of mooring usage, I’ve heard of a lot of people buying boats,” said Partridge. “They’ve invested a lot and making their boats comfortable. I think they plan on using their boats more often, me included.

DETAILS REGARDING THE SLIP PERMITS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

20-foot slips fit a vessel of a minimum

At least one, but as many as three 20-foot slips in Santa Barbara Harbor are up for grabs in a lottery running through April 21.

Santa Barbara Harbor Commission to Host Lottery for Unassigned 20-Foot Slip Permits The application period to participate in the lottery for the assignment of a 20-foot slip will be open for a three-week period, beginning April 1 and closing at 5 p.m. April 21. By: LINDSEY GLASGOW

SANTA BARBARA — Boat owners inter-

ested in a 20-foot slip in Santa Barbara Harbor have been invited to participate in a free lottery for the opportunity to get a permit for one of these slips. The Santa Barbara Harbor Commission received a presentation about the lottery at its March 18 meeting. During the last year, three 20-foot slips have become available and were offered to every individual on the current waiting list. According to a staff report, two individuals have shown interest but have not finalized permit paperwork,

leaving at least one, but as many as three up for grabs in the lottery. Historically, the 20-foot slip size has been a challenge to assign to individuals on the established slip permit waitlists because most of those individuals are waiting for larger slips, so the 20-foot slips go unassigned, the staff report said. Waterfront Department staff also said these lotteries don’t come up very often. “It probably hasn’t happened in the last 15 years,” said Harbor Operations Manager Erik Erickson. “I was there for the last one,” said Commissioner Betsy Cramer at the meeting. “I remember there were not very many applicants for it.” To facilitate the assignment of these slips in a timely manner, the City Council adopted Resolution 08-032, which allows a special lottery to be held after the slips have been offered and declined by all individuals on the current waitlists. The application period to participate in the lottery for the assignment of a 20foot slip will be open for a three-week period. It began at 8 a.m. on April 1 and will

length of 16-feet, up to a maximum length of 22-feet long overall Permitted vessels may be recreational or commercial and must meet current operability, seaworthy, and stability standards to safely navigate the open waters of the Pacific Ocean Monthly slip fee is $9.22 per foot of slip or vessel length, whichever is longer Security deposit is $368.80 No slip permit transfer fee Slip permits issued via lottery are subject to the five-year graduated slip permit transfer fee, should the new slip permittee transfer the 20-foot slip permit to a new party within the first five years of the agreement One lottery participation application per individual or family will be accepted Current slip permittees, and those who are a spouse or registered domestic partner of a slip permittee, must relinquish an existing slip permit in exchange for an assignment of a slip permit in this lottery.

close at 5 p.m. on April 21. Lottery participation request forms are available online at santabarbaraca. gov/waterfront or by contacting the Waterfront Business Office at 805-564-5531. There is no cost to participate. If any slip permits remain unassigned after being offered to every individual participating in the lottery, the Waterfront Department will use the slip space for transient berthing for six months and will return to Harbor Commission to either request hosting another lottery or to explore other options.

OC Parks Receives Grant to Combat Coastal Erosion

OC Parks has received a $214,500 grant from the Ocean Protection Council for the South Orange County Regional Coastal Resilience Strategic Plan.

Kelp forests grow along rocky shorelines, mostly along the Pacific coast, and are home to many different species, including sea urchins, sea otters, and different species of fish.

New Study Shows a Drastic Decline in NorCal Kelp Forests

The project will stretch over seven miles of coastline, from Dana Point Harbor to San Clemente.

By: JORDAN B. DARLING ORANGE COUNTY— On Feb. 9 the Orange County Board of Supervisors approved a grant from the Ocean Protection Council to move forward with the South Orange County Regional Coastal Resilience Strategic Plan. The plan would focus on coastal resilience and prioritize strategies to protect residents from flooding and infrastructure damage along the coast. “The plan’s main objective for coastal resilience is to comprehensively assess, prioritize, and advance resilience opportunities to reduce the risk to thousands of residents across the region from flooding and infrastructure damage and increase the viability of south Orange County beaches,” said Marisa O’Neil, a public information officer for OC Parks in a March 25 email. The project will also link to the Orange Coastal Regional Sediment Management Plan, to move coastal sediment management needs towards implementation, according to the grant authorization form from the Feb. 9 meeting. The project is going to target the area south of Dana Point Harbor to the county line. O’Neil said that they will be looking to coordinate with other projects in the littoral cell, a natural coastal compartment that is roughly seven miles of beach shoreline from Dana Point Harbor to San Clemente. OC Parks is also planning to work with landowners, cities, utility agencies,

railroad managers, non-governmental agencies, and community groups. Part of the plan will involve developing a model of participation for stakeholders. The grant comes from Proposition 68, California Drought, Water, Parks, Climate, Coastal Protection, and Outdoor Access for All Act of 2018. Prop 68 passed in June 2018 and allocated $204.8 million to fund outdoor access, lower cost coastal accommodations, and climate adaptation, according to the California State Coastal Conservancy website. The Ocean Protection Council adopted the grant guidelines in their May 23, 2019 meeting and approved OC Parks for the grant on Jan. 15, 2021. The application approval went to the Orange County Board of Supervisors where it was approved on Feb. 9. OC Parks submitted their application through the Ocean Protection Council and was approved after a competitive process with other projects. “OC Parks applied for the grant through the Ocean Protection Council,” said O’Neil. “We submitted a letter of intent (LOI), then submitted a full proposal and were ultimately selected through a competitive process along with several other projects.” OC Parks is expecting to have a draft of the Regional Strategic Plan in May 2022, after extensive research and stakeholder meetings, which are expected to start in Dec. 2021, according to a March

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA— A new study published in Communications Biology using satellite imagery and underwater surveys shows that 95 percent of Northern California kelp forests have disappeared since 2013. The study showed the dramatic decline in bull kelp forests through an abrupt ecosystem shift that began in 2013 and continued through 2019 along 200 miles of Northern California’s coast primarily in Mendocino and Sonoma counties. Through the study, researchers used satellite imagery to show the effect of a multi-year marine heatwave that they believe caused a decline in keystone predator populations. They theorized that historically kelp forests were resilient and had the ability to regenerate easily but that with recent environmental and biological events the ecosystem has shifted to a state of low primary activity causing a severe decline and no way to bounce back without intervention. In 2013 there was an outbreak of sea star wasting syndrome (SSWS) which caused a dramatic decline in the sea star population up and down the west coast of North America. Typically lesions appeared on the outside of the sea star which caused decay and eventual death and fragmentation, sunflower sea stars were among the first to succumb to the disease according to an article on the University of California, Santa Cruz website that was last edited on March 25.

The sunflower sea star is considered a keystone species because of the large effect they have on the ecosystem as a primary predator of sea urchins, which primarily survive on kelp. Part of the decline in the kelp forests is attributed to the loss of the sunflower sea star, which has still not recovered in kelp forests or coastal tidal areas but, the decline is not solely responsible. A year later in 2014, there was an ocean warming event in the Pacific Ocean which became known as “The Blob.” “The biggest marine-warming event ever was the original 2014-2016 “Blob,” which resulted in unprecedented harmful algal blooms, invasive species, shifts in migratory ranges for animals, including humpback and gray whales, and changes in the marine food web that, among other things, depressed salmon returns for years.” said a Feb. 19, 2020, article from The Seattle Times. The satellite imagery that was used provided the researchers with a perspective going back 34 years. Through the historical data and a series of first-hand data gathered through the study, researchers believe that it was a combined effort of two events that created an opportunity for a shift to urchin barrens, barren areas of the coastline covered in unchecked populations of sea urchins that have made it difficult for bull kelp to grow back. The loss of the kelp forests has been devastating to local fisheries that depend on kelp forest ecosystems, and various species that depend on the kelp forests for their home. The study suggests the implementation of “ecosystem-based and adaptive management strategies.” Hopefully by monitoring kelp growth and the density of sea urchins and their predators; creating management techniques of these levels; and creating restoration and educational efforts, the study theorizes that we can bring kelp forests back.

CalCenter, who allegedly paid for the Plaintiffs' attorney fees, is part of Redondo Waterfront LLC and was involved in a controversial harbor revitalization proposal.

Appeals Court Sides with Redondo City in 2017 Lawsuit The Second District Court of Appeal upheld a lower court decision that supported Redondo City Mayor Brand, Councilmember Nehernheim, and others for a lawsuit filed in 2017 related to the controversial CenterCal waterfront redevelopment project. By: JORDAN B. DARLING R E D O N D O B E A C H — On March 19,

the Second District Court of Appeal upheld a 2019 ruling by the lower court that had two Redondo Beach residents paying almost $900,000 in legal fees to Mayor Bill Brand and Councilman Nils Nehrenheim. In 2019, Judge Malcolm Mackey found a 2017 lawsuit claim from Redondo residents Chris Voisey and Arnette Travis to be unsubstantial and passed down a decision that Voisey and Travis would pay almost $896,000 in attorney fees for defendants Brand and Nehrenheim. The judge also found Fred Bruning and John Paul Wardy of CenterCal partially responsible after it was revealed that CenterCal footed the bill for Voisey and Travis’ attorney fees, but that decision was voided by the appeal court. The 2017 lawsuit claims that Brand and Nehrenheim coordinated with Rescue Our Waterfront to campaign for Measure C and that the PAC misclassified itself in campaign finance documents, according to a March 22 article from Daily Breeze. Measure C was introduced to chal-

lenge the zoning laws and limit the size and scope of the revitalization of King Harbor, and as a response to a development project from CenterCal, which proposed a $400 million project to revitalize the harbor. The measure was introduced to the ballot in 2016 and passed with more than 57 percent of the vote in March 2017, according to a March 8, 2017, article from the Log. This lawsuit is one in a string of lawsuits that have surrounded the harbor revitalization. Councilmember Nehrenheim traced the beginning of the lawsuits back to a business agreement that was signed 35 days before Measure C passed. “We had an exclusive negotiated agreement starting in 2012 and it expired on Jan. 31, 2017, the same day it expired, a Tuesday, they had it on the agenda to sign a business agreement with Redondo,” said Councilmember Nils Nehrenheim. “If [Councilmembers Emdee and Horvath] had let it expire there would have been no legal ramifications. Measure C was on the ballot to be voted on in March… They signed the business agreement [on] Feb. 1, 2017, contractually obligating the city to their marriage that allowed Redondo Waterfront to start suing immediately as Measure C passed because we violated the ALPIF… If they had not signed the agreement on Feb. 1, 2017, we would not have any of those lawsuits because they would have no standing.” There is no indication if Voisey and Arnette will appeal to the California Supreme Court. Voisey declined to comment but told Daily Breeze in a March 22 article that he planned on pursuing other legal avenues. With the recent series of wins on the legal front, Nehrenheim believes that it will give them to momentum to move forward with the master plan for the harbor revitalization that was presented to the city council on March 16.

Along with 800-feet of pipeline there are concrete supports and other infrastructure set to be removed.

Restoration Within Upper Magnolia Marsh Approved With Conditions An application for the restoration of a pipeline in the Upper Magnolia Marsh in the Huntington Beach Wetlands Conservancy was approved with conditions at a March 10 meeting. By: JORDAN B. DARLING HUNTINGTON BE ACH — On March 10 the California Coastal Commission approved, with conditions, an application for the restoration and removal of a Plains All American Pipeline within the Upper Magnolia Marsh. The application was approved with a series of eight conditions that ranged from providing a nesting bird survey 72 hours before construction during the bird breeding season to construction and liability responsibilities for impacts on threatened and/or endangered species. The application was presented by the Huntington Beach Wetlands Conservancy and Plains All American Pipeline. The conservancy, founded in 1985, is a non-profit that plans to acquire, restore, and protect the coastal wetlands of Huntington Beach. So far, they have successfully restored Talbert, Brookhurst, and Magnolia marshes. Plains All American Pipeline is a publicly-traded master limited partnership based in Houston, Texas, the company previously operated the pipeline on an existing easement. The application sought approval to remove the oil operation pipelines within the marsh and create a small tidal channel to improve tidal flushing, as well as removing non-native plants and replacing them with coastal salt marsh plants. The project will theoretically increase

biodiversity in the salt marsh and convert a portion of the adjacent uplands to coastal salt marsh, increasing the space of the wetland’s habitat. Removing the pipeline will involve the complete demolition and removal of 800 linear feet of remnant oil and other abandoned pipelines, as well as electrical vaults, valve boxes, concrete supports, and other remaining infrastructure. Out of the 800 feet of pipeline, 620 feet are located in the marsh and 180 feet will be removed from the flood control channel levees and utility bridge outside the marsh, according to the March 10 staff report. The removal will leave the entire Huntington Beach Wetlands Complex free from any former oil production or related facilities except for the waterline. The project will also remove about 360 cubic yards of soil and increase the elevation along the banks of the excavated area. The grading is set to improve the drainage by creating elevations and intentional flooding to support the plant life in the marsh. The removed 360 cubic yards of soil will be used to fill in the places where concrete supports will be removed in the upland berm areas, with possible placement of 75 cubic yards at the end of the Orange County flood control levee of Huntington Beach Flood Control Channel. The plan will also include the use of hydroseeding, the placement of 2,000 container plants, like cordgrass, and the removal of non-native plants. The Upper Magnolia Marsh was a part of an earlier restoration project that created the tidal basin and installed the culvert between the Upper Magnolia and Magnolia Marshes, the culvert restored the tidal connection to Upper Magnolia Marsh. There is currently no available start date for construction to begin in the salt water marsh.

REDONDO BEACH — On March 16, the

Redondo City Council voted to submit an RFP for a long-awaited harbor revitalization project. The RFP will include a list of priorities discussed by the council and the harbor commission to include moving forward. The RFP prioritizes amenities like a public boat launch facility, a dinghy dock, and educational features. “City Council staff have really gotten on board with prioritizing the recreational boating facilities first and then focusing on the commercial development which is a turnaround from 60 years ago when they built hotels and restaurants in a ring around the harbor,” said Mark Hansen, a King Harbor boater. “It is a wonderful and refreshing change in direction to prioritize recreational over commercial.” The project was first presented to the city council on Jan. 12 where they passed a motion to wait for the harbor commission to have their input on the scope of the harbor revitalization project. The harbor commission met on Feb. 8 and created a subcommittee for the project to create a draft RFP with Waterfront and Economic Director Stephen Proud, and on March 8 the commission unani-

mously approved a draft RFP and voted to send it to City Council with the recommendation that they move forward with issuing the RFP. “The purpose of the planning effort is to really go through all the various amenities that we have and determine which things should be rebuilt and which things should be renovated… that will set a framework for the harbor itself.” said Proud in the March 16 meeting. The full list of amenities for the RFP are the location and design of the public boat launch facility and required support parking; the location and programmatic elements of a replacement Sportfishing Pier, if any; a plan for the future use, design, and layout of Seaside Lagoon; the location and design of a dinghy dock to serve the harbor mooring field; upgrades to the City’s existing personal watercraft hand launching facility, including the consideration of a zero-depth launch option; a plan to enhance the waterfront promenade that connects Mole C to the Horseshoe Pier; reduce flooding…along the boardwalk…and possible reconfiguration of Basin 3 boat slip layout; consideration of large public events that may take place within the plan footprint; and consideration of additional amenities, educational features, visitor attractions, and public art. The project will also include the revitalization of moonstone park, on a separate but expedited track. The commission recommended two working committees, one for Moonstone Park and one for the other amenities. The draft RFP sets a target timeline of nine months, six months to prepare draft plans, and three months for review by the commission and the council before moving forward with construction.

The RFP prioritizes a list of amenities for King Harbor for the upcoming revitalization.

ers meeting. In 1998 the Port of San Diego acquired 1,400 acres of San Diego Bay, the vast majority of the land was handed over to the State Lines Commission who entered a lease with the U.S. Fishing and Wildlife Service who then created the San Diego Bay Refuge. The south part of Pond 20 was left out of the land transfer leaving it open for the Port of San Diego to attempt some type of development, according to Maher. Through a series of public outreach efforts, the overwhelming majority of people wanted some type of open space in the wetland area, and it was determined that the best use of the space was for the restoration of the wetland and some type

of commercial development in the surrounding parcels. “An overwhelming majority of people said they wanted open space out there and wetland restoration and mitigation banking seemed to be a logical choice for something to do on the parcel,” said Maher. The proposed project at Pond 20 will remove 550,00 cubic yards of material to create a wetlands habitat and bring in water through the main tidal channel, there will be three channels and it will create high, mid, and low marshes for the 75 acres. The project also proposes the creation of transitional habitat on top of the berms for high tides. If the project is passed Maher said it would take an estimated 17 months. Maher said that while the three parties have separate goals for the projects the MOU is about being on the same page and making sure that the projects don’t conflict with one another and that the science is universal across the board.

Sailing US Sailing Releases Nominations for Women’s Olympic Sailing Team” VIL AMOURA, PORTUGAL— The third and final stage of the US Saling Team’s Olympic Selection series for the Women’s 470 concluded the weekend of March 11. United States Coast Guard Lieutenant Junior Grade Nicole ‘Nikki’ Barnes (28) and Lara Dallman-Weiss (32) ended with 97 points and a seventh-place standing that guarantees them a nomination from the US Sailing Team as the potential representatives in the Women’s 470 for the Tokyo 2020 Games. The third stage was held at the 2021 470 World Championship in Vilamoura, Portugal hosted by Vilamoura Sailing. The qualifier was followed by a medal race on March 12, with the top ten teams from each division where Barnes and Dallman-Weiss finished in seventh place for the women’s division with 109 net points and 12 points from the medal race alone. Dallman-Weiss is from Hugo, Minnesota and, found her love for competitive sailing at Eckerd College where she graduated in 2011 with a degree in nutrition, according to the US Sailing website. In 2010 Dallman-Wiess took third place

at the Women’s Nationals and earned awards as crew and skipper. She raced on the professional circuit for five years before campaigning full-time for the 470 class. Dallman-Wiess is the crew for the pairing. Barnes is from St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, and started sailing at six-years-old. In 2011 Barnes took third place in the ISAF Youth Worlds, and in 2017 was named Quantum Women’s Sailor of the Year, Sportsman of the Year, and was a three-time All-American Sailor. Barnes is a commissioned officer in the United States Coast Guard graduating from the United States Coast Guard Academy in 2017. She has been granted a Support Allowance Billet which will let her train full-time through the end of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics according to the US Sailing Team website. Barnes is the skipper for the pairing. On March 24, 2020, IOC President Thomas Bach and Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzō pushed the games back to the summer of 2021, with the date set for July 23 to Aug. 8, 2021, according to the Olympics website.

Moss balls are commonly used as a decoration in freshwater tanks, the mussels attached themselves to the moss balls and went unnoticed.

Invasive Species Contaminates Fresh Water Tanks The California Department of Fish and Wildlife have issued a warning about zebra mussels, an invasive species illegal in California, that have contaminated aquatic moss balls. By: JORDAN B. DARLING CALIFORNIA— On March 10 the California

Department of Fish and Wildlife issued a warning to consumers and sellers about an invasive species of zebra mussel that was found in aquarium moss balls, clumped green algae commonly used as decoration for freshwater tanks. Zebra mussels are illegal in California because of their highly invasive and po-

tentially destructive impact on freshwater systems. The first sighting of the mussel was reported by a pet store in Seattle, Washington on Feb. 25 and investigators have traced the original distribution to Southern California. Law enforcement is still trying to trace the distribution of the freshwater mussel and have identified several other suppliers in California and throughout the United States. Zebra mussels are a type of mollusk the size of a fingernail native to freshwater habitats in Europe and Asia. The mussels disrupt natural eco-systems by filtering out algae used by native inhabitants and incapacitating native mussels, according to the U.S. Geological Survey website. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is concerned about a potential spread of mussels into freshwater systems and is working with pet retail-

ers and consumers to stop the potential spread. “If zebra mussels escape from aquaria and into the environment, they pose the risk of causing enormous environmental and economic impacts,” said Martha Volkoff, California Department of Fish and Wildlife environmental pro-

Zebra mussels are characterized by their yellow-brown coloring and dark and light-colored stripes. gram manager. “... It is imperative that pet suppliers and aquarists take action to prevent these mussels that have entered the aquarium trade from reaching our waterways.” They are asking retailers to pull moss

balls from the shelves and store them in secured locations; check all aquatic plant products, filtration systems, and tanks; freeze contaminated products overnight before disposing of them in the municipal trash; clean and disinfect aquariums, filters, and decorations. If you’ve bought moss balls in the past year, empty and disinfect your tank, or if that is not possible quarantine and monitor your fish tank for six months. The first recording of the mussels in the United States was in 1988 in Lake St. Clair nestled between Ontario, Canada, and Michigan, by 1990 the mussels had spread to all five Great Lakes, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. From 1990 to 1992 the mussels made their way out of the lakes and spread to seven rivers and in 2011 a little over 30 states reported the mussels in their waters or in waters adjacent to them. Studies done in Lake St. Clair have shown that just two years after the species was introduced there was a decline in native mussels, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Ocean trout season is open, but steelhead and coho salmon are off-limits.

By Bob Vanian of 976Bite.com SAN DIEGO — Southern California

Salmon Season Opens April 3 By: JORDAN B. DARLING CALIFORNIA — Ocean salmon season

has opened up in California as of April 3. There are a couple of changes that anglers should be aware of moving forward. Most of the California coast is closed to salmon fishing because of poor stock assessments of Sacramento and Klamath river fall-run of Chinook salmon, according to a March 16 article from Recordnet. So far the only area open this season is from Monterey to the U.S./Mexico border, which will open April 3, the end of the season will be determined by the

Pacific Fishery Management Council at their April meeting. There is a daily bag limit of two salmon, with coho (silver) salmon now off-limits and there is a prohibition on steelhead trout as well. Anglers can not fillet salmon prior to being onshore and salmon may only be taken by angling defined in 1.05 T14 CCR. No sinkers or weights over four pounds may be used excluding a fishing line attached to a sinker or weight if it is suspended on a different line and the fishing line is released automatically by a mechanical device when a fish is hooked. If an angler pulls up a salmon with a missing adipose fin, a small f leshy

fin on the back of the fish between the back fin and tail, they are required to turn over the head of the salmon to an authorized agent or employee of the California Fish and Wildlife Department upon request so they can recover the coded-wire tag. The California Fish and Game Commission will meet April 14 and 15 to receive an update on the ocean salmon fishery regulations that were put in place for April 1 through May 15 and will hear the proposed alternatives for the season from May 16 through November. To learn more about the meeting visit the Fish and Gaming Commission website at https:// fgc.ca.gov/ .

Davey’s Locker Sportfishing and Whale Watching

FEATURED CATCH It Made the Newsr-EEL A strange-looking catch from a half-day trip on the Western Pride out of Davey’s Locker Sportfishing and Whale Watching. Wolf-eels are native to the west coast ranging from Baja, California up to Kodiak Island, Alaska. The eels have also been found in the Sea of Japan and all the way in Russia. Juvenile eels spend their time in open waters and in adulthood will settle down in reefs and rock pilings often staying in the same place for life. The eels can be identified by their gray coloring, dark spots along their back, large bulging foreheads, and long, snaggly front teeth. The eels can reach up to 8 feet in length and have powerful jaws used to crush shellfish, crabs, and urchins. Surprisingly rockfish are a predator for the snakelike fish.

anglers always look forward to the start of spring which usually brings with it warming air and warming water temperatures which usually trigger the start of the warm water surface fishing season. This year is no exception with improving surface fishing to report after the beginning of spring but the water conditions still remain on the cool side in a lot of places with a lot of 58.5 to 60.5-degree water around. Part of the reason for the cool water temperatures is that there are still weak weather systems passing through Southern California and Northern Baja. These weather systems generally work to slow the warming of the water and have produced some days of rough and sloppy weather conditions.  The good news about improving surface fishing starts offshore where the past weekend saw bluefin tuna and yellowtail biting for boats that were fishing 1.5-day offshore trips to the waters northwesterly from Punta Colnett. Some of the better fishing down this way has been found down between 85 and 90 miles 157 to 159 degrees from Point Loma.  American Angler out of Point Loma Sportfishing was out last weekend and put a couple of nice-sized bluefin on the deck. They had 28 anglers and a fish count of 27 yellowtail and 2 bluefin tuna. Their bluefin tuna were good-sized fish and Point Loma Sportfishing reports that their bluefin weighed in at 180-pounds and 97-pounds. Old Glory out of H&M Landing was also out on a 1.5-day trip last weekend and they had 27 anglers and a fish count of 8 yellowtail.  Things have been pretty quiet with regard to offshore reports from waters more local to San Diego with few if any boats out looking in recent days. The last report of bluefin activity around offshore banks within 35 miles or so from Point Loma was from eight days ago when spots of breaking bluefin were reported to have been seen outside of the middle part of the 9 Mile Bank. Recent weeks have also seen bluefin activity found at local offshore areas such as the Corner, 224 Spot, 302 Spot, 230 Spot, 371 Bank, and Upper Hidden Bank. A stretch of nice weather might be what it takes to get some private boaters to go back out to these local offshore areas and do some exploring for bluefin.  Most of the bluefin have been found by locating spots of breaking fish which are often being marked by working birds. The water temperatures that have been holding bluefin have been ranging from 58.5 to 60.5-degrees. The best bet to try and get a bluefin to bite has been to cast poppers, Colt Snipers, or iron to the spots of breaking fish. Please see FISH REPORT, PAGE 22

Fish Report From page 21

The fishing around Los Coronado Islands has been providing improving surface fishing with the better days of fishing seeing good numbers of 12 to 20-pound yellowtail biting. In addition to yellowtail, Los Coronado Islands has been providing good bottom fishing for an assortment of reds, rockfish, and an occasional lingcod. The best Los Coronado Islands yellowtail catch of the season was posted on March 26, 2021, when San Diego out of Seaforth Sportfishing was out on a full-day trip and had 31 anglers catch 102 yellowtail. The most recent fish counts are from March 28, 2021, when San Diego out of Seaforth Sportfishing had 33 anglers on a full-day trip catch 32 yellowtail. Pacific Voyager out of Seaforth Sportfishing posted a fish count of 24 anglers catching 1 yellowtail and 150 rockfish. Legend out of H&M Landing was out on a full-day trip and they had had 30 anglers catch 250 rockfish and 10 yellowtail. Seaforth Sportfishing reports that most of the yellowtail have been in the 12 to 20-pound range and that yo-yo iron fished with a 40-pound test line has been a good way to go. Good choices for iron would be Salas 6X and Salas 6X Jr. jigs in blue and white, blue and chrome, and scrambled egg. Most of the yellowtail hookups have been coming from stopping on sonar marks found with scanning sonar and then fishing the yellows with the yo-yoed

THELOG.COM

iron. This sonar mark type of fishing is not very user-friendly for most private boats that are fishing with the traditional up and down style of fathometer. Look for meter marks or sonar marks at the ridges off the weather side of North Island, the hard bottom to the east and northeast of North Island, along the ridges outside of the Middle Grounds, along the South Kelp Ridge, and at the ridge areas around the Rockpile. Of those listed areas, the ridges off North Island and off the Middle Grounds have been the best. A good depth range is 18 to 30 fathoms. Encouraging news for those fishing for yellowtail at Los Coronado Islands without the aid of scanning sonar is that in recent days there have also been a few yellowtail biting for private boaters who have been trolling Rapalas around North Island. This is yet another positive sign of progress for the developing spring surface fishing season! The bottom fishing around Los Coronados Islands has been good and the best areas continue to be at the hard bottom to the northwest and north of North Island in 30 to 50-fathoms. Also, try the hard bottom to the northeast and the east of North Island in 20 to 30-fathoms and also try 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. There is still a lot of cold 58 to 59.5-degree water along the

coast and the yellowtail and white seabass fishing remains difficult with an occasional yellowtail being reported caught off the upper end of La Jolla. Encouraging news for yellowtail prospects along the coast is that recent schools of yellowtail have been metered by boats fishing for rockfish outside of the Green Tank and Point Loma College areas of Point Loma. Skippers were encouraged by finding some schools of yellowtail moving into the area and were also encouraged by seeing lots of bait. Productive hard bottom and structure areas for the reds, rockfish, whitefish, and lingcod continue to be the Imperial Beach Pipeline, the International Reef, the Whistler Buoy and Dropoff outside of Point Loma, the Point Loma Pipeline, the Green Tank at Point Loma, at “The 270” out to the west of Mission Bay, the upper end of La Jolla, the ridge outside of Del Mar and at hard bottom areas off South Carlsbad, Leucadia and Box Canyon. Productive areas for sand bass, calico bass, and sculpin include the Imperial Beach Pipeline, the hard bottom to the southeast of the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma, the hard bottom to the northwest of Buoy #3 at Point Loma, the Jetty Kelp outside of Mission Bay, the upper end of La Jolla, the Anderson and Buccaneer Pipelines, the artificial reefs outside of Oceanside and Box Canyon. A degree or two of warming water might be all it takes to spark a springtime halibut bite. One might expect to see improved halibut activity once the

water warms up into the low 60s. For the time being, the halibut fishing remains scratchy but places, where occasional halibut have been reported to be biting in recent weeks, have been San Diego Bay, outside of the Imperial Beach Pier, the Yukon Shipwreck off Mission Beach, the sunken NEL Tower off Mission Beach, outside of South Ponto Beach, the Buccaneer Pipeline and the artificial reefs off Oceanside. The spring surface fishing is slowly improving and a couple of degrees of warming water might be all it takes to kick things into high gear. Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water sometime soon!
