BIZARRE
Live Raccoon Clinging for Dear Life Rescued From North Carolina Pier By: LINDSEY GLASGOW EMERALD ISLE, N.C.— The Gulf Stream, which flows north off North Carolina’s coast, has given the state a reputation for hosting a wide variety of sea life, including Caribbean fish, but something even more unexpected was found on a pier in Emerald Isle last month. On March 25, a raccoon was found clinging on for dear life to a piling on Emerald Isle’s Bogue Inlet Pier. The popular fishing pier, ranked as the number one destination spot in Emerald Isle by Trip Advisor, stretches 1,000 feet into Onslow Bay. According to a Facebook post from Bogue Inlet Fishing Pier, pier staffer David Dodson was checking the pilings on March 25 when he spotted the raccoon near the end of the pier. “Some quick thinking and a pier net probably saved the little fellow,” said the post. “Thanks to our Pier Staff David Dodson for his great netting ability!” Dodson told McClatchy News when he saw the animal, he looked so cute he had
to try something to rescue him. It took more than an hour to bring the raccoon to safety because he was more afraid of the net than the water. Dodson told McClatchy News the raccoon kept swimming from one pole to the next, trying to get away from the net. After chasing the raccoon to six poles, the exhausted animal finally crawled into the net and he was brought to safety and scrambled away. It’s unclear how the raccoon ended up in the water or how long he had been there. Dodson told McClatchy News he thinks the animal fell while poaching eggs from seabird nests on the underside of the pier. This isn’t the first time land animals have been reported in the waters off the North Carolina coast. Hurricanes have also been known to drag livestock, wild horses and bears into the ocean. In 2019, cows made headlines after three were found roaming Cape Lookout National Seashore on the Outer Banks and it was believed they got there by swimming four to five miles across the Core Sound during Hurricane Dorian.
Bogue Inlet Fishing Pier staffer David Dodson uses a net to pull up a raccoon found clinging to a piling nearly 1,000 feet into Onslow Bay in North Carolina.

FAST FACTS
Whale Watching Rises to Fame By: LINDSEY GLASGOW S O U T H E R N C A L IF O R N I A — From a $1 business in 1955 to a billion-dollar industry today, wha le watching ha s transformed into a booming industry in California and across the world. “What began about 30 years ago as a way for local sportfishing boats to survive the slow winter months has now become an important industry all its own,” the Log reported in the February 1979 issue. The first ‘official’ whale-watching trip was conducted by a fisherman from San Diego named Chuck Chamberline who put out a sign saying “See the whales: $1,” according to The Whale-watching Industry: Historical Development, a chapter written by E.C.M Parsons and Erich Hoyt for the book “Whale-Watching (Sustainable Tourism and Ecological Management).” Chamberline was influenced by the slow fishing in the winter and by land-based student whale-watching ‘counts’ which had been going on since the late 1940s as part of a University of California research and government monitoring project by the pioneer whale researcher Carl Hubbs. Gray whales at the time were recovering from very low numbers after the end of 19th-century whaling practices. Interests in the whales began peaking and land lookouts, formal guides with naturalists, and informal guides sprang up all along the California coast to witness the gray whale migration between Baja California, Mexico, and Alaska. The California gray
whale became a symbol of the U.S. conservation movement in the late 1960s and was designated California’s State Marine Mammal in 1975. By the 1970s, boat-based whale watching started to take off. Commercial whale-watching spread first to the Mexican lagoons, with long-range, naturalist-led trips out of San Diego, according to “Whale-Watching (Sustainable Tourism and Ecological Management).” A headline from the December 1978 Log read “Permits For Baja Whale-Watching Trips Sent To San Diego, Officials Say.” “ T h e fi r m s p l a n n i n g whale-watching trips this winter include H&M Landing, Fisherman’s Landing, Baja Expeditions, Wilderness Trails Ex-
peditions, and Baja Frontier Tours,” said the 1978 article. In 1975, whale-watching tours opened up in New England to see the humpback whales feeding in waters on the east coast and it went on to become a big business, according to “Whale-Watching (Sustainable Tourism and Ecological Management).” In 1981, it was estimated the value of whale-watching amounted to $14 million in tourist expenditure from tickets, food, accommodation, travel, and souvenirs, according to “Whale-Watching (Sustainable Tourism and Ecological Management).” In 2008, the whale watching industry was estimated to amount to $2.1 billion in total expenditures.

SHOULD THE COASTAL COMMISSION APPROVE CHANGES TO NEWPORT BEACH HARBOR VISITOR DOCK?
In May, the California Coastal Commission is poised to consider an application from Orange County Parks to amend a coastal development permit to make a Corona del Mar visitor dock for emergency use only by the sheriff’s department and modify dinghy dock tie-up hours but not all stakeholders are satisfied with the conditions of the proposed amendment. By: LINDSEY GLASGOW
NE WPORT BE ACH —An issue
of public access and authority that has been ongoing since 2019 when” Keep Out” and “Authorized Personnel Only” signage appeared on a set of
public guest docks shared by the boating public and the Orange County Sheriff’s Harbor Patrol in Corona del Mar has now made it to the California Coastal Commission docket. While “Keep Out” signage at the guest docks at 1901 Bayside Drive has given way to “Public Guest
Docks: Please see OC Harbor Patrol for rental information” signs, some stakeholders say issues and an unwelcoming feeling persist at the harbor front site. “Without exception, the public is made to feel like intruders — or perhaps even having crim-
inal tendencies,” wrote Penny Elia in comments submitted to 2C the Coastal Commission. OC Parks is now seeking after-the-fact approval to amend the coastal development permit 2C to change the use of the visitor DARK dock from a public temporary BKGND tie-up to an emergency dock for OCSD use only and to change the hours of the dinghy dock tieup from 72 hours maximum to BW day-use only between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. They are also seeking to install two safety gates and fencing around the OCSD building and lifeguard headquarters. Five guest slips at the facility would remain available for boaters to use and public parking would remain for the adjacent beach. Readers might remember a series of Standing Watch articles published in 2019 after several changes were made at the facility by Lieutenant Christopher Corn, who has since retired from the OCSD.

Study Finds Seagrass Reduces Ocean Acidification DAVIS — On March 31 UC Davis released
a study in Global Change Biology showcasing the ability of seagrass to reduce local acidity by up to 30 percent. The study relied on sensors that were released between 2014 and 2019, which collected data points from seven seagrass meadows along the California coast. The study found that buffering occurred an average of 65 percent of the time, but varied based on location and season. Seagrasses naturally absorb carbon when they photosynthesize which drives the buffering ability. Scientists were curious if the seagrass would release the carbon once the sun went down and the study showed that the PH level lasted longer than 24 hours. “What is shocking to everyone that has seen this result is that we see effects of amelioration during the night as well as during the day, even when there’s no photosynthesis,” said Aurora M. Ricart, lead author on the study. “We also see periods of high pH lasting longer than 24 hours and sometimes longer than weeks, which is very exciting.” Harbor seals, leopard sharks, and bat rays are just some of the animals that rely on the seagrass meadows for food and their home, and the study could have implications for climate change mitigation, conservation, and restoration efforts.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY— In March of this year, the California Geological Survey updated the Tsunami Hazard Area Maps for seven counties in California, including Los Angeles County. This is the first time the maps have been updated since 2009 and a few areas saw a minor increase in hazard zones including Marina Del Rey, Port of Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Naples. The changes to the maps were in part because of a recent tsunami modeling that reflected a large-scale disaster. “One of the benefits of the new maps is that they incorporate a minimum baseline of flooding equal to a 1000-year event, which translates to a 5 percent probability of flood exceedance within the next 50 years,” said Rick Wilson senior engineering geologist and tsunami unit manager with the California Geological Survey. “In other words, we looked at extremely large but very rare tsunami events to create the maps.” The 1000-year baseline and the extra buffer were added after research from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, according to Wilson.
the damage was hard to see and a very emotional experience, the second time was years later.” Wilson went back to Japan to look at the recovery efforts and how they could apply to California. Working with colleagues from Japan and the U.S. Geological Survey, Wilson and his team used statewide tsunami analysis, prehistoric modeling and worked with consultants to create a map and model of what a 1,000year event would look like for California. The increases in the hazard areas are in part because of the addition of a 1000year event as a baseline and in part because the original maps followed the landscape rather than roads and landmarks. “Where the boundary followed the landscape instead of roads and landmarks, some people had difficulty finding their location and they did not know if they should evacuate,” said Wilson. “Moving the Tsunami Hazard Area to a nearby road, landmark, or some other known feature helped the public more easily identify if they were at risk.” There are primarily two types of tsunamis, a local tsunami that can be gener-

On March 11, 2011, Japan experienced a magnitude 9.0 earthquake near the T hoku region. The earthquake triggered a massive tsunami that took almost 20,000 lives and flooded more than 200 square miles, according to the World Vision website. Japan had created evacuation plans based on historical records that went back
thousands of years, but those records did not include a 1000-year event like the 2011 tsunami, according to Wilson. “Early on we worked with colleagues in Japan about what happened there and how we can make it better on our side,” said Wilson. “I was a part of two different groups that went to Japan to look at deposits five months after the tsunami...

ated offshore by events like a submarine landslide, or a distant tsunami that can be generated on the other side of the Pacific. For the 1000-year scenario, Wilson said the most realistic worst-case scenario is a magnitude 9.3 earthquake off the coast of Alaska that would trigger a tsunami that would hit Southern California in five to six hours. To prepare for this, Wilson and his team are working with the National Tsunami Warning Center to be able to send out a warning and communicating directly with communities and first responders to understand the risk and evacuation protocols. “This is a great opportunity for the public to go to our website, and find out if they live, work, or visit areas where there is a tsunami hazard,” said Wilson. “If there is a tsunami threat, take the opportunity to develop or update a plan for you, your family, or your business for evacuating out of the Tsunami Hazard Area.” The California Geological Society cautions communities to pay attention to the warning signs and to listen to local emergency officials for direction. They also caution the boating community to try not to navigate their boats out of the harbor during tsunami activity, and if they are offshore, to go beyond a depth of 30 fathoms to avoid tsunami currents.

Santa Barbara is replacing the original single-walled storage units from 1983 with double-walled fiberglass units.
Santa Barbara Replaces Underground Fuel Tank After a year hiatus, Santa Barbara picked up their Fuel Storage Tank Replacement project last month. By: JORDAN B. DARLING
S A N TA B A R B A R A —Sa nta Barbara started working on the Fuel Storage Tank Replacement project on March 8, after taking a year hiatus because of an electrical utility line near the tanks. The project which is being run and funded by the Santa Barbara Fuel Dock Inc., a subsidiary of McCormick Oil Corporation, broke ground in Feb. 2020, and an electrical utili-
ty line that runs adjacent to the fuel tanks was discovered and had to be relocated for safety reasons before the project could resume. After the lines were relocated the project was put on the back burner again while the city was put on a waitlist for the contractors. “They started the project last year, and after they started, they
Newport Beach City Council Waives Business License Fee Newport Beach City Council passed a resolution waiving the business license fee for businesses affected by COVID-19. By: JORDAN B.

The waiver will apply from April 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022, and will apply to businesses that were forced to close sometime during the pandemic and were not able to operate, dropped below 25 percent for three consecutive months, and/ or had to lay off employees. There are 1,850 commercially based businesses that will receive the waiver, about 25,000 businesses have city permits, including home-based businesses and businesses that operate in the city but are located elsewhere according to a March 24

press release from the city. “The city has already identified those businesses that meet one of the four qualifications,” said Avery. “Businesses that were impacted by COVID19...will not receive a bill for the business license tax from April to March 2022, and then we are also providing mailing to other businesses who will receive a bill of notice that if they feel like they qualify they can contact the city to explain their position.” City income from business licenses usually amounts to $4 million a year, and the cost of waiving the business licenses will cost over $600,000 according to Avery. The loss from the city will be balanced out through prior years’ budget surplus. The waivers and the appeals for relief will go through the city’s finance department, to learn more see the Newport City Council website.
so we had to wait for them to reschedule us.” The project will replace four 10,000 gallon single-walled fuel tanks with two 20,000 double-walled fiberglass units, one tank will hold diesel fuel and the other will hold gasoline. The project is set to finish on May 20, according to the city of Santa Barbara website. The replacement of the tanks is in compliance with a California Senate bill that amended the Health and Safety Code regarding underground storage tanks with hazardous substances, like fuel, that could potentially leak and contaminate water. The Senate bill was passed by the California Legislature on Sept. 25, 2014, and changed the underground storage tank regulations for USTs requiring single-walled units to be refur-
bished to comply with the mandate or be permanently closed by Dec. 31, 2025. The storage tanks in Santa Barbara were installed in 1983 and under the bill, all single-walled underground storage tanks built or designed before Jan. 1, 1997, have to be closed or refurbished. The underground storage tanks are just west of 125 Harbor Way and southeast of the Fish Market. The construction project will affect public parking in and around the dock. The pier will still be accessible for foot traffic and fuel will be delivered to the pier by trucks. For a look at the map and affected parking or for more information on the project see the city of Santa Barbara website at https://bit.ly/2PUQsu4.

When I came on, I was tasked with building the program up,” said Holt. “Currently, the program consists of Naturalist 1... with the pandemic, we actually shifted to creating videos, it’s two videos that equal an hour and then a follow-up Q & A with a naturalist. [Naturalist] 2, [which is one] seven-hour field trip and is a follow-up to Naturalist 1 that looks at geography, not just in pictures, botany, and cultural sites that is led by me. I have been so bold as to take on what I call the Naturalist 3…[which] is actually the UCANR cooperative extension California naturalist program.” Naturalist 3 or the Catalina California Naturalist Program, is an extension of the UC California Naturalist Program, a state-wide program that connects with organizations throughout the state to provide courses in naturalist education. Naturalist 3 is 40 hours of class time and offers
four units of community college credit. “Nat 3 is a community college course, in that we are on Canvas they have online course work they have to do, I write all the quizzes and assignments, and then we have a live class every week,” said Holt. “Hopefully, in the future, we will have weekly meetings in the field. The program facilitates people learning from experts.” The program is in its fourth year after a year of planning. Holt came on in 2016 and was set to pitch a program at the Catalina Symposium when someone approached her about the UCANR program. Holt took 2017 to figure out the finer nuances and then launched the program in 2018. While you do not have to take Naturalist 1 or 2 to take Naturalist 3, the programs do build on each to create an in-depth view of Catalina from the beginning to the present.
“All of the [programs] build on each other so we are looking at Catalina from the beginning of the story to the present,” said Holt. “We start with the geology and the formation of the island, we talk about Catalina as an island, how species arrived here, what is unique about the things that live here, and how that is tied into our climate in Southern California. We talk about the ancestral landowners the Tongva, the first inhabitants, and recognizing they are still here with us today and we look forward to stewarding the land into the future with them, and we get into Europeans arriving, how did that change the landscape, what that has to do with the impact of invasive species, and the formation of the conservancy.” To learn more and sign up for naturalist courses visit the Catalina Conservancy website at https://www.catalinaconservancy.org/index.php?s=about&p=naturalist_training_program.

West Harbor is planned to open to the public in 2022 with restaurants, shopping, markets, office space and an openair amphitheater. Restaurants that have signed letters of intent include Southern California icon Gladstone’s; a new concept from Greg Morena, owner of San Pedro’s Pappy’s Seafood, and The Albright, the longest running restaurant on the Santa Monica Pier; and a new restaurant and market from chef and restaurateur Robert Bell, who owns Mama Terano in Rolling Hills Estates and the former Chez Melange in Redondo Beach. The project team is also reported to be in near final, exclusive negotiations with Nederlander Concerts for a 6,200-seat waterfront amphitheater; Harbor Breeze Cruises for waterside attractions, harbor cruises, water taxis, brewery, beer garden, and more. Construction on a third piece of the redevelopment, the Wilmington Waterfront Promenade project, continues to take shape in Wilmington. That development is slated for completion in 2023. The $70.8 million project includes construction of a community park adjacent to the Banning’s Landing Community Center, a waterfront promenade, public pier, public dock for commercial vessels, public restrooms with a green roof, parking lots, a playground, public seating, bike racks, drinking fountains and a 2,500 square-foot pad for commercial development. “After many years of hard work, we can really see this project starting to come together here today,” said Los Angeles Harbor Commissioner Lucia Moreno-Linares in an April 7 released statement. “It’s exciting.”

the San Pedro waterfront will be able to stroll along the main channel in the Los Angeles harbor and catch a sunset with the Port of Los Angeles as a backdrop from a new town square on 6th Street. The Port of Los Angeles announced on March 2 that the San Pedro Town Square and Promenade project is on track and on budget to be completed by the end of July. The port is funding the $36 million development, which includes a 30-foot-wide promenade, seating, restrooms, landscaping, hardscaping, signage, architectural finishes, handrails, and lighting. The promenade will stretch roughly 1 mile along the Main Channel connecting points of interests, including the new town square at 6th Street and Harbor Boulevard. “I think the community’s really starting to see things happen here, for a long time we were talking about plans, we were working out leases,” said Mike Galvin, the director of waterfront and commercial real estate at the Port of Los Angeles, in a March 2 construction update video. “…Now you can see brick and mortar, hardscape coming in, a real promenade that opens up this entire site to the waterfront.” The project is part of a series of waterfront development and community enhancement projects across 400 acres of Port of Los Angeles property in the harbor communities of San Pedro and Wilmington. “I’m excited that we’re so close to the completion of one of its pivotal projects,” said Los Angeles Harbor Commissioner Anthony Pirozzi, Jr. in a March 2 released statement. “I can’t wait to see families coming down here with their kids and grandkids enjoying the waterfront and making new memories for decades to come.” The promenade will also connect to the anchor project of the LA Waterfront redevelopment, West Harbor, formerly known as the San Pedro Public Market. West Harbor announced the new name and branding in October 2020. “The name West Harbor better reflects the gravity of what is really an entire new district coming to the LA Waterfront,” said Alan Johnson, CEO of Jerico Development, in an Oct. 7, 2020 released statement.

Proposed Vessel Registration Fee Increase Held Open in Budget Subcommittees A budget proposal to increase the vessel renewal fee from $20 to $70 biennially was heard in two Senate budget subcommittees but held open. By: LINDSEY GLASGOW SACRAMENTO — A state budget proposal to increase the vessel renewal fee by 250 percent has been heard by two Senate budget subcommittees, but so far, no decision has been made. The proposal was heard by Senate Budget Subcommittee No. 2 on Feb. 9 and Senate Budget Subcommittee No. 3 on Feb. 17 and held open by both subcommittees. The proposal, which is part of Governor Gavin Newsom’s proposed 2021-22
budget, would increase the vessel renewal fee from $20 to $70 biennially and could be implemented as soon as July 1. California State Parks staff said the proposal aims to address a projected $52 million annual deficit in the Harbor and Watercraft Revolving Fund (HWRF), which is the primary fund source for boating programs managed by the California Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW). The Recreational Boaters of California said the organization is not support-

What are 200 bison called? A bison-tennial.
The Catalina Island Museum
In 1924, 14 bison were brought to Catalina Island as part of a movie crew for one of Zane Grey’s feature films either The Vanishing American or The Thundering Herd. The bison were used as part of the backdrop to portray the American West and were left on the island after filming. No one is quite sure which film, rumor has it that the film was dropped on the floor of the editing room. There are now 150 bison roaming around Catalina Island and they have become a part of the culture of the island. Visitors can see the bison throughout the interior of the island, they have even been known to wander into Two Harbors. It is recommended to stay 100 feet away from the bison and to not approach them.
ing the governor’s proposal as it stands now. Jerry Desmond Jr., RBOC’s director of government relations, said the proposal being held open buys them some time to have their concerns addressed. “We believe we have a lot more work to do,” said Desmond. On Feb. 16, RBOC, along with 13 other boating organizations, sent a letter to the Senate budget subcommittees asking them to take these actions: reduce the amount of the proposed increase to an amount significantly less than 250 percent; re-direct a small, yet reasonable portion of the $107 million in annual boat fuel tax dollars to the HWRF; permanently eliminate the authority for HWRF funds to be utilized for beach erosion control; establish an equitable funding structure for the invasive species program that includes other beneficiaries with a proportional financial framework; establish in statute the stakeholder process to be undertaken over the next

staff report, in May 2019, the OCSD harbormaster was issued a violation letter from the Coastal Commission for putting up unapproved signage, using two public guest docks for lifeguard boat storage, changing the public dinghy tie-up hours, and changing the use of the visitor dock to emergency only. OC Parks Public Information Officer Marisa O’Neil said in an email that after a terrorist attack in San Bernardino in 2015, the Orange County Sheriff ordered all county facilities to undertake a security and vulnerability assessment. In May of 2017, a Vulnerability Assessment and Mitigation Report of all Harbor Patrol Facilities was completed, and based on this report, the Sheriff implemented the changes. “We believe these safety concerns must be immediately addressed,” said OCSD Harbormaster Captain Gar y Lewellyn. “It would be improper to make
few years to develop long-term funding approaches to the HWRF, and add to the Boating and Waterways Commission’s statutory authority the responsibility to approve loans and grants from the HWRF. Those concerns were the major focus of the time-limited discussions at the subcommittee meetings. “Does the department have any data that shows the fuel tax dollars and the registration fees have been placed in the HWRF account? And I’d like to see that data,” asked California State Assemblymember Thurston Smith at the Senate Budget Subcommittee No. 3 meeting. Director of Administrative Services for California State Parks Will Schaafsma, who gave a presentation on the proposal to both subcommittees, said State Parks does have that data and would provide it. “It’s a 250 percent increase and first in many years, one, I would like to be able to get your thoughts on indexing so we’re not here having to be able to advance such a large potential increase,” said Senator Mike McGuire at the Senate Budget Subcommittee No. 2 meeting. Schaafsma said the fee increase would be a temporary solution to avoid a negative fund balance for the next several years and a long-term revenue strategy would be put together. One option is moving to a tiered vessel registration fee system based on vessel length. He said they would work with boaters to come up with a long-term solution that would be more satisfactory to all parties. The next hearing for the proposal has not been announced yet. Hearing dates and agendas will be posted at sbud.senate.ca.gov when they become available. Boaters interested in submitting comments or letters on the proposal can email those to SBUD.Committee@senate.ca.gov.
public comment about these concerns as there is an ongoing study that the Coastal Commission is conducting about our facility. That being said, I want to ensure the public that the Orange County Sheriff’s Harbor Patrol is currently partnering with the Coastal Commission to come up with reasonable solutions that would not limit access to the sand or water of Newport Beach Harbor.” The Coastal Commission was set to consider the application at its March 10 meeting but the item was postponed. O’Neil said details of the project description were being amended based on input from stakeholders and coordination with Coastal Commission staff, with anticipated re-submittal for the May meeting. “Given the nature of OCSD’s violations and their repeated attempts to prohibit the public from using this area that was carefully conditioned for public use nearly 25 years ago, I am not confident that the conditions put forward in this staff report will remedy the problem for the Please see STANDING WATCH, PAGE 13

public, or restore the public access and amenities that were created in the original 1995 permit,” said Elia in comments submitted to the Coastal Commission. Among Elia’s concerns is ADA access. Under the proposed amendment, the current ADA paths and ramps would be fenced off from the public and replaced with a 300-foot rubber mat on the sand. “A 300-foot rubber mat on the sand is not the solution and should be denied when the existing ADA paths and ramp are in fact the perfect solution and should be kept open to the public,” wrote Elia. Dorothy Klaus, whose daughter was injured in a 1992 accident and uses a wheelchair, was also concerned by plans to fence off the existing ADA ramps and paths.
“The whole world changed for us and I have a very heightened awareness about ADA access,” said Klaus. Klaus is a longtime boater who has used the guest slips in the past. She was concerned about the public losing access to the area. “This is a really nice public amenity,” said Klaus. In her comments to the Coastal Commission, Elia asked the permit be a condition to improve and/or restore ADA access and parking that allows for the continued use of the existing properly engineered concrete ADA paths and ramps; improve parking; create an environmental justice program; create a signage and wayfinding program, and work with the County and the adjacent homeowners to remove all of the encroachments in the parking lot area and on the beach.

Hearing Date Set for Revised Waste Discharge Requirements for Poseidon’s Proposed Desalination Plant WHAT HAPPENED: Poseidon Water has sought a permit renewal from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Santa Ana Region to build a $1 billion desalination plant on Pacific Coast Highway at the former AES power plant in Huntington Beach. Several workshops have been held and the permit was expected to be voted on in April 2020 but delays related to COVID-19 and water board concerns have left the issue undecided. On Feb. 12, the Santa Ana Water Board released a revised tentative order for waste discharge requirements on its website for public comment. Revisions included additional restoration at the Bolsa Chica Wetlands and the creation of an artificial reef along the Palos Verdes Peninsula to satisfy the remaining mitigation requirements; inclusion of a finding regarding human rights to water; a revised deadline from three years of the
effective date of the order to 18 months for Poseidon to submit the Climate Change Action Plan; among others. Poseidon also submitted a proposed alternative to the discharge and intake prohibitions for the board to consider at the continued hearing. WHAT’S ON TAP: A hearing to consider
adoption of just these new revisions is now scheduled for April 23 at 9 a.m. and April 29, if needed. The Santa Ana Water Board will hear public comments on proposed revisions that have been made to Tentative Order R8-2021-0011 since the order was last released for public review on June 30, 2020, and continue their deliberation. Oral comments will be limited to the scope of the new revisions. A permit renewal from the water board is the first regulatory hurdle Poseidon needs to clear in order to move ahead with plans. The plant would produce 50 million gallons of potable water daily and would discharge an average of 56.69 million gallons monthly of primarily of reverse osmosis concentrate and filter backwash into the Pacific Ocean.

REDONDO BE ACH — The AES power plant across from K ing Harbor in Redondo Beach may remain online for a few more years despite strong opposition from some city leaders who had hoped to purchase some of the property for a park as part of efforts to revitalize the waterfront. The Statewide Advisory Committee on Cooling Water Intake Structures (SACCWIS) met on March 26 and recommended that the State Water Resources Control Board extend the closure deadline for the nearly 70-year-old generating station to Dec. 31, 2023. The State Water Resources Control Board is expected to consider the recommendation at an upcoming meeting.

Redondo Beach AES Plant Could Remain Operational Through 2023
Regulators set a deadline of Dec. 31, 2020, for the owner of AES Corp. to shutter the Redondo Beach power plant and several others along the Southern California coast as part of the 2010 Once-Through Cooling Policy, which required the eventual closure of all coastal power plants that used cooling water intake structures due to the harmful effects on marine and estuarine life. In 2020, the water board extended the deadline for the Redondo Beach AES plant to Dec. 31, 2021. The extension came after the hottest August in the state was recorded in 2020. The August heatwave resulted in the California Independent System Operator, which oversees the operation of California’s bulk electric power system, initiating rolling blackouts to prevent widespread service interruptions. A coalition of agencies compared the forecasted energy demand in 2022 to all of the existing energy-producing and load reduction resources and energy-produc-

The report went on to say the risk would be “significantly” decreased with the availability of additional power from Redondo Beach. “Demand is projected to be highest in September 2022 and 2023 during the 8:00 p.m. hour, with highest needs during extreme and prolonged west coast-wide heat waves induced by climate change,” stated the draft report.
“Extending the compliance date for Redondo Beach would be responsive to supporting system-wide grid reliability concerns in summer 2022 and 2023 and would ensure that the 52 electrical power needs essential for the welfare of the residents of the State of California are met.” Redondo Beach Mayor Bill Brand, councilmembers Todd Loewenstein and Christian Horvath, and councilmember elect Zein Obagi Jr. spoke at the March 26 meeting opposing another extension. “We’ve been promised for the last 10 years that they’re going to shut this down, let down this last year, and now again, here we go again,” Councilmember Loewenstein told the Log.

LEGAL ADVICE
ask a maritime attorney By David Weil
Should I Submit an Insurance Claim and Risk Voiding My Electrician’s Warranty?
QUESTION:
Our boat was damaged recently by an electrical fire caused by faulty wiring. The wiring had been installed recently by a marine electrician who was recommended by a friend but who has been nothing but trouble since the day he arrived at our boat. He admitted that the fire was his fault, and he returned to the boat to repair the faulty wiring but has not been able to find the problem. We’ve had no more fires but our electrical problems continue. I wanted to call my insurance company to report a claim but the electrician warned that his warranty would be void if we allowed someone else to work on the wiring. The boat also sustained fire and smoke damage to carpeting, upholstery, and cabin surfaces which he is not qualified to repair, so it seems like my only choice is to call this insurance company and risk voiding his warranty. What are my legal options?
ANSWER: We often hear from readers who are reluctant to report a claim to their insurance company, and I always have the same advice to them. Report the claim as soon as possible! There is no downside. This is not the first time that I have harped about this issue in this column, but readers continue to share stories like this. A delay in reporting the claim may prejudice the insurance company’s ability to investigate the cause of the loss or it may affect their ability to repair the boat, which may itself lead to a denial of coverage. The claim may be denied for some other reason or the insurance company may be hard to
work with, but the advice is always the same. Report the claim, and report it early. With that advice in mind let’s look at this case. First, the loss is probably covered by insurance. Hull and machinery coverage under a yacht policy covers the negligence of the boat owner and the owner’s agents. The ‘negligence’ umbrella is huge, and it includes things like running the boat aground because you weren’t paying attention or a slip and fall injury aboard the boat. It also includes mistakes made by people you hire, such as the electrician in our readSee ATTORNEY, PAGE 16

The bill is still making its way through committee.
Boating-Related Legislative Issues Highlighted at California Boating Congress The California Zero Emission Vehicle Program, 30x30 legislation and copper paint regulations were among the topics discussed at the fifth annual California Boating Congress. By: LINDSEY GLASGOW SACRAMENTO — Major regulatory and legislative challenges facing the marine industry in California, including the California Zero Emission Vehicle Program; 30x30 legislation; and copper paint regulations, were the focus of the fifth annual California Boating Congress. The conference was held virtually on March 17 and was sponsored by the Marine Recreation Association and 10 other marine industry associations and boating groups.
Planning for 2030 and beyond, speakers addressed the California Zero Emission Vehicle Program (ZEV), which is designed to promote options for eliminating carbon-fuel vehicles and vessels by 2035. Tyson Eckerle, deputy director of the ZEC, presented an overview of this state government initiative. He said encouraging private investment and technological advancement, as well as developing strategies and guidelines for “grand-fathering” older vessels, will be some of the major challenges in reaching the proscribed goals of the ZEV program. “What we like to do always is get ahead of needing to regulate, so if there’s opportunities to push zero emissions technology with incentives into the market, we want to do that… so really, it’s an iterative, collaborative system we’re trying to set up where we can increase certainty, help drive investment into the sector,” said Eckerle. Robert Newsome, senior vice president of operations at the Na-
tional Marine Manufacturers Association, said the ZEV program could mean major changes for the industry for boat design, technology, and infrastructure needs. “Quite a few things we need to think about as an industry as we look towards products and how people engage with those products and how they access the water into the future if a variety of things play out that we’re facing today,” said Newsome. NMMA leaders also touched on the status of the marine industry and how current challenges and opportunities will shape the future of recreational boating in California and across the United States. Frank Hugelmeyer, president of the NMMA, reported there was a 13-year high volume of new boat sales in 2020 across all major segments of the industry with 30 percent of boat purchases coming from new boaters. He discussed regulatory and legislative challenges related to access, including federal and state 30x30 proposals, which are an effort to
conserve at least 30 percent of land and ocean by 2030. “Initiatives like 30x30, which are looking to protect 30 percent of the water, 30 percent of the land, that are being pushed by environmental groups, that could significantly reduce access to boaters and we’re working very hard to make sure those restrictions don’t happen,” said Hugelmeyer. Another major regulation coming down the pipeline is related to copper paint on boats. Cur rently, Tota l Ma ximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) exist for Newport Beach, Marina del Rey and Shelter Island in San Diego to regulate the amount of copper leaching into the harbor from boat paint, hull cleaning and storm runoff. The State Water Board has prioritized reducing discharges of biocides from boats residing in saltwater marinas in the next five years. Shelley Anghera from Moffatt & Nichol Engineers said as part of those efforts, new enforceable actions will be required of mari-

er’s case. When a claim is submitted to an insurance company, they will often send a marine surveyor to the boat to investigate the cause of the loss, and to work with shipyards or other professionals to recommend a proper course of repair. They may consult with the vendor who caused the loss to help in their investigation, but they will not recommend that person for the actual repair job. Our reader’s electrician was correct in that re-

The water board in March released a Nonpoint Source (NPS) Implementation Plan for Los Angeles and Ventura for public review. As part of that, in the next three to four years, marina operators may be subject to new responsibilities to manage boaters under leaseholds to limit their copper discharge in the marina; track/monitor paint on vessels and cleaning practices; modify lease agreements to limit cleaning or types of paint allowed on boats; active management/ observance of tenants; and new record keeping. Anghera said this will likely result in extra compliance expenses for marina operators. “Marine Recreation Association did provide a comment package for this document to continue to advocate that these alternative paints are still very difficult and it’s very difficult to get the boater community buying in on these alternative paints,” said Anghera.

The NMMA will take a broader look at legislative and regulatory issues facing the whole country at the American Boating Congress April 21 and 22.

gard - someone else will perform the repairs if the insurance company is involved. He is otherwise completely off base. First, as noted above, the electrician’s suggestion that our reader refrain from contacting his insurance may jeopardize coverage of the claim if it causes undue delay. Second, the electrician’s warning about voiding his “warranty” is something that could ultimately support a claim of fraud, since he did not offer a warranty in this case. Perhaps his reluctance to involve our reader’s insurance company is actually based on

Oceanside Celebrates Earth Month with Sustainability Competition Oceanside is participating in the 2021 National Mayor’s Challenge for Sustainability for the fourth year in a row.
OCEANSIDE — Oceanside is taking part in the 2021 National Mayor’s Challenge for Sustainability from April 1 to 30. The challenge is hosted by the Wyland Foundation, a nonprofit focused on protecting and preserving the ocean through educational programs, public art projects, and community events, according to the Wyland Foundation website. The competition promotes participation in sustainability practices, by allowing participants to gain points for their city by making a pledge for water sustainability and then logging daily points for sustainable actions. “You basically log on to their [Wyland Foundation’s] website, [and] participants can participate in different ways they can sign a pledge, that is a simple pledge that commits them to be more sustainable acts,” said Collen Foster, the city’s environmental officer. “They can also log points each and every day for doing small actions...for example, they can take the pledge and then log a point in for using a reusable straw or taking a shower less than five minutes, and then at the end of the month the points are tallied.” This is the fourth time that Oceanside has participated in the national challenge, previously coming in sixth, third, and second place. Oceanside stumbled on the competition and began to compete in 2018. With the sustainability efforts that Oceanside already had in play, Foster felt like it was a good fit. “Oceanside has a really robust sustainability program through the Green Oceanside initiative so it was a natural fit that benefitted our waste and water goals,” said Foster. “Basically when we came across the competition a lot of the
actions that were called upon were already being done by our community so we wanted to feature and highlight what Oceanside is doing for sustainability.” The city is looking towards the first place spot, and to get there they went a step further this year with a unique program through the Green Oceanside team. The team has put together “One Planet. One Action” kits, that are offered for free to Oceanside families. The kits are offered in Spanish and English and have activity cards, shower timers, seeds that can be planted, and things like that to help families participate in the challenge if they don’t know where to start. The city is also offering two community events, Harvest Oceanside on April 17, the community can drop off their excess fruit and vegetables from their gardens to the El Corazon Senior Center, and Creek to Bay Cleanup on April 24, a virtual county-wide cleanup to get people involved. Mayor Esther Sanchez said that the effort was a recommitment to Oceanside’s promise for sustainable practices and that the participation and education of the community were important. “That is something you can’t just do halfway you really have to go out and educate people and that’s the part I feel really great about,” said Sanchez. According to Sanchez, 11 years ago Oceanside was the first city in the county to pledge to zero waste and the community has been adamant and involved in the process especially within schools. “We have great partnerships in the community the kids are great ambassadors, they really get it whenever we have competitions having to do with saving water or “what does saving the planet look like to you” they really get it,” said Sanchez. Currently, the city is in fourth place for the national challenge, second place for the eco-challenge, and has already logged 3,000 points as of April 9, according to Foster.

his fear that the insurance company may sue him to recover the cost of the insurance claim! In any case, whether purchasing goods or retaining service professionals, warranties are generally not a part of the transaction unless paperwork is provided to create an express written warranty. The purchase of goods may be accompanied by an implied warranty, but this is usually disclaimed through the use of as-is language that accompanies the purchase, Service professionals are subject to different rules, and there is no law that would impose an implied warranty on a marine electrician. It would also be extremely rare for a marine electrician to offer an express
written warranty, but they may do so in some cases to provide better service to their customers. A written warranty may include language that would void warranty coverage if an unauthorized service technician is used, but this restriction would need to be clearly spelled out and it would apply only in the case of an express written warranty. The bottom line is that there was no written warranty in place that would restrict the repair work on our reader’s boat. Insurance adjusters are trained and experienced in the management of boat repair projects, which includes dealing with professionals like our reader’s electrician. Let them do their job by tendering your insurance claim to them without delay.

CARES Act Allocates Funds to Local Fisheries
As part of the CARES Act passed by the Biden Administration an additional $255 million has been allocated to states to fund local fishing industries and $15 million of that is going to California fishing businesses. By: JORDAN B. DARLING
C A L I F O R N I A — The Ca lifor nia Department of Fish and Wildlife is in the process of creating a spending plan for a $15 million allocation from the CARES Act for California’s fishing-related industries. On March 29, NOAA Fisheries announced the second allocation of $255 million from the CARES Act for commercial fishing, charters, aquaculture operations, cultural and ceremonial users, processors, and other businesses relating to fishing throughout the United States. “This is the second round of CARES fishery funding,” said Craig Shuman, CDFW marine region manager. “We went through a process last summer and allocated funds to fishermen or people who fish in California, this is to protect those businesses that incurred a loss of 35 percent or more due to COVID.” Shuman said that the first spend plan was based on individuals who held licenses through the department. Applications were sent out to those who held a license and then the applicants that met the criteria were given the amount that they paid for the license, and then the leftover funding was split evenly among the applicants. The previous round of funding was about $18.5 million. There were 11,000 applications sent out and roughly 1,700 unique individual businesses who were affected by COVID-19 received funding. The CDFW and the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission will be working with business leaders in different sectors to revise the spending plan for the funding, they are also considering small group discussions and public webinars to determine the best use of the funding. “We haven’t developed a spending
plan yet, once we get that plan approved, we will work on the application process and the deadline to find the balance to let folks get in the application but not letting it drag on too long,” said Shuman. The spending plan will have to be submitted to the NOAA before applications can be sent out. The CDFW requests that potential re-
cipients make sure their information is correct in the CDFW system and update their information accordingly. “If you hold a California commercial fishing license, guide license, aquaculture permit, or commercial fish business permit, you may be eligible for funds,” said Shuman in an email. “To make certain you are notified when applications become available, it is important that you ensure your contact information, including email, is correct in our system.” To update information, follow the steps below provided by the CDFW.

al park as they continue to work to redevelop the waterfront and in 2019, the city of Redondo Beach was given a $4.8 million grant for the purchase. The city had agreed in principle with the developer to buy roughly 25 acres at the rate of $2 million an acre but Mayor Brand said that offer and grant money were withdrawn. “That was withdrawn by the California Natural Resource Agency because of these plant extensions,” said Mayor Brand.

Mayor Brand echoed those thoughts and also said AES benefits monetarily
from these extensions whether they operate or not. “These extensions are like Christmas for AES,” said Mayor Brand. Loewenstein said it also delays their ability to deindustrialize the waterfront. In early 2016, AES placed the power plant and its 51-acre site on the commercial real estate market and closed on its sale to a private developer in April 2020. City officials hoped to purchase some of the property to create a region-

The regatta is being hosted at the Coronado Yacht Club.
Challenged Sailors San Diego to Host Kyle C. McArthur Memorial Regatta The regatta, to be held April 23 to 25, promotes accessible sailing and honors Naval Lieutenant Junior Grade Kyle C. McArthur. Byline: JORDAN B. DARLING CORONADO — Challenged Sailors San Diego will host the 7th annual Kyle C. McArthur Memorial Regatta at Coronado Yacht Club the weekend of April 23.
Challenged Sailors San Diego is a non-profit that helps people with disabilities get out on the water and allows them to operate a sailboat on their own using specifically designed sailboats. The regatta is to promote accessible sailing and honors Naval Lieutenant Junior Grade Kyle C. McArthur who passed away in a car accident in 2013. McArthur was born and raised in Coronado, Calif. An athlete and avid sailor, he joined the Naval Academy and graduated with a degree in Systems Engineering in 2011, according to the Steel Hearts organization website. He was selected as a Naval Aviator and had just be-
Pyewacket Sets New Newport to Cabo San Lucas Yacht Race Record By: LINDSEY GLASGOW NEWPORT BEACH— It was a record-break-
ing year for the Newport to Cabo San Lucas Yacht Race. Roy Disney’s Volvo 70, Pyewacket, sailed the course in record time, beating the previous monohull record by 15 hours. Pyewacket had an elapsed time of 1 day, 21 hours, 22 minutes, and 53 seconds. The previous
monohull record of 2 days, 13 hours, 25 minutes, and 58 seconds was set in 2005 by Doug Baker’s Magnitude 80. Raymond Paul’s Botin 65 Artemis also beat the previous course record set by Magnitude 80, coming in this year with an elapsed time of 2 days, 13 hours, 3 minutes, and 52 seconds. The Mighty Merloe is the only multihull verified to have completed the course faster than Pyewacket. In 2015 Mighty Merloe finished the course in 1 day, 16
come carrier qualified in a T-45 Goshawk aboard the USS George W. Bush a week before he passed, according to the Challenged Sailors San Diego webpage. This would have been the eighth year but the regatta was cancelled last year because of COVID-19. The regatta is governed by the racing rules of sailing with a couple of exceptions. For the Martin 16 class, sailors are required to have a sailing companion on board, the companion can perform any tasks that will support the sailor. The companion must remain seated in the rumble seat except to affect a repair, clear fouled lines, or for safety reasons.
For Martin 16 and Hansa 303 classes, there cannot be any devices used to hold the headsail out or to dislodge the headsail if caught, boats can take a oneturn penalty to include one tack and one gybe, when she may have broken one or more rules of part two in an incident while racing. Friday, April 23 is a clinic with Jon Rogers and a practice race from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the actual regatta will be hosted April 24 and Sunday, April 25. To register for the event and arrange a boat, complete an entry donation and submit a completed information and waiver form at https://www.challengedsailors.org/kmac-2019-race-info.html. All donations go to supporting Challenged Sailors San Diego’s adaptive sailing program that benefits kids, adults, and veterans with disabilities.
hours, 14 minutes, and 14 seconds. The Newport to Cabo San Lucas Yacht Race, hosted by Newport Harbor Yacht Club (NHYC) since 1971, is an 800-mile yacht race from Newport Beach down the Baja Coastline to Cabo San Lucas. The race this year took place March 19 through the 25. On March 22 the race chair reported the top nine boats were finishing under three days total elapsed time, the first time that has happened in the NHYC Cabo Race. “We are combing prior years for their previous best, but this seems to be the race that all the boats will find hard to beat their times in future editions,” wrote John Curci, the 2021 Cabo Race Chair, on a March 22 post on the Cabo
Race blog. The Pyewacket crew also provided updates throughout the race on the blog. “As you know, we have 85 miles to go... back in 20 knots running with the A3 but went through a soft patch that challenged our patience... it got down to 12 knots.... worried there may be some more land based light spots to navigate so though the layline times say we finish at 10 a.m., I think that could easily be 11 a.m. (PDT),” wrote the Pyewacket crew on the morning of March 22. Pyewacket swept the 2021 race taking first overall, first in Division 1, and first to finish. Pyewacket averaged greater than 20 knots over the course and had a corrected time of 2 days, 20 hours, 50 minutes, and 21 seconds.

The charity regatta is in its 24th year and third year of benefitting the American Cancer Society. The regatta started in the 1990s to benefit the Leukemia Society, in 2013 the society chose to focus its resources on
one event in Southern California and Dana West moved on to other charities. Between 2013 and 2018 Dana West Yacht Club worked with several charities including the Wounded Warriors Project before choosing to raise money for the American Cancer Society three years ago, according to Roger Salway, former race chair and director of the Dana West Yacht Club. “It’s been benefitting various charities, in the past, it used to be a part of the Leukemia Society,” said Salway. “In 16 years, we raised $1.7 million.” In 2020 the regatta was canceled because of COVID-19 but the club still managed to raise $13,000 for the American Cancer Society through wine tasting and a silent auction. The club is looking for pledge sheets from entering competitors to benefit the American Cancer Society, the last day to turn in a pledge sheet is June 5, by 5p.m. To learn more, see the Dana West Yacht Club website at dwyc.org.

O C E A N S I D E — The Ocea nside Yacht Club Foundation has received two grants to help their efforts of supporting youth sailing and maritime activities. The foundation was awarded $2,000 from the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz County, West Marine Blue Futures Fund. The grant will be used for the foundation’s “On the Water” programs to provide boat parts, repairs, and fleet maintenance. The “On the Water” program has previously provided the Jr. Learn to Sail program at Oceanside Yacht Club with 10 new RS Tera’s and five Fj’s for their classes. The program also supports several other endeavors besides sailing, including kayaking and paddle boarding. The second grant was awarded by the Community Enhancement Program from the County of San Diego and will be used for scholarships for youths interested in enrolling in youth learn to sail programs.
“Our thanks go out to the West Marine Blue Futures Fund of the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz, as well as the County of San Diego for awarding us these grants,” said Ron Dreyer, president of the Oceanside Yacht Club Youth Foundation, in a March 29 released statement. “Our junior sailors will benefit greatly from this support. I also want to thank Linda Loftis, Joey Bertocchini, and others on the OYCYF Board of Directors who were responsible for gathering and submitting the necessary documents to obtain these grants.” The OYCYF is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2017 for the purpose of supporting youth sailing and maritime activities that promote leadership, seamanship and a culture that empowers youth to develop skills that last a lifetime. That includes replacing boats, providing classroom necessities, scholarships for older kids and real-life sailing adventures.
West Marine Oceanside store manager Kerry Feeney (L) awards a $2,000 West Marine Blue Future grant to OYCYF Board member Linda Loftis (R).

TOP CORNER It’s Not the Destination, it’s the Journey It might not always be about the destination but it sure is nice to get to the end. California resident Jason Neidert knows that feeling after spending 17 days trying to catch a Southern California Striper. The angler was thrilled and shared his experience on Facebook. “Finally caught the elusive Southern California Striper!” Said Neidert, on an April 2 Facebook post. “It was a grind went 17 days in a row and finally got one. This was not in a lake either this is in saltwater.” The striped bass can be elusive in colder weather, but once the warmer seasons hit, they begin to move upstream to freshwater sources to spawn and that is when fishing tends to improve, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Great catch Jason!

Red Abalone populations have dropped drastically from a series of environmental factors.
Red Abalone Fisheries Closed Until 2026 By: JORDAN B. DARLING N O R T HE RN C A L IFO RNI A — The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has released a reminder that red abalone fisheries in Northern California are to remain closed until April 1, 2026, according to a March 19 press release from the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife. The season normally runs from April to November but due to the decline of the red abalone from ecological factors the closure was extended by five years. The Fish and Game Commission closed the fisheries in 2017 due to the decline in the Red Abalone population and at a December meeting, the commission voted to extend the closure
for five years. The population was affected by mass ecological events and a decline in their main food source, the bull kelp. A recent study published in Communications Biology used satellite imagery and underwater surveys to show the 95 percent decline in kelp forests start-
ing in 2013. The decline was attributed to a marine heatwave known as “The Blob,” a series of El Niños between 2014 and 2016, that affected the Pacific, the local extinction of the sunflower sea star, and the expansion of the purple sea urchin population, according to the article from Communications Biology. The urchin also depends on the kelp for a food source and with the loss of their main predator the sunflower sea star, the urchin has gone unchecked creating urchin barrens that prevent kelp forests from recovering. There are several projects that are working towards reducing the purple sea urchin
population and create patches of healthy kelp to provide a source of kelp spores that hopefully will lead to the recovery of kelp forests. The recovery period will take time which is the reason for the closure, and when the fishery eventually reopens it will be guided by the Red Abalone Fishery Management Plan, which is set to be adopted sometime this year, according to the March 19 press release. To learn more about the timeline or the management plan see the California Department of Fish and Wildlife website at wildlife. ca.gov/Conservation/Marine/ Red-Abalone-FMP.

Recreational Salmon Fishing to Open in Northern California June 28 The Pacific Fishery Management Council has adopted tentative salmon management measures for 2021, which allows the recreational salmon fishing season to open June 28 in the upper part of the state. NORTHERN CALIFORNIA — At its April meeting, the Pacific Fishery Management Council adopted tentative salmon management measures for 2021, which would
Bob Vanian’s
allow for recreational salmon fishing to open in Northern California on June 28. Recreational salmon fishing opened in Southern California on April 3. At its March meeting, the Pacific Fishery Management Council adopted three alternatives for 2021 ocean salmon fisheries off Washington, Oregon, and California for public review. The council made a final decision on salmon seasons at its meeting held April 6-9 and 12-15. Per the adopted measures, the recreational salmon season will run from June 28 through July 31 in the area between the Oregon/California border and Southern Klamath Management Zone Boundary with a with a minimum size limit of 20 inches total length for Chinook. In 2022, the season will open May 1 for all

salmon except coho. The 2021 season for the areas between the Southern Klamath Management Zone Boundary to Pigeon Point (Fort Bragg and San Francisco management areas) will run June 28 through Oct. 31 with a minimum size limit of 20 inches total length for Chinook. The 2022 season will open April 2 for all salmon except coho. The 2021 season for areas between Pigeon Point and the U.S./Mexico border (Monterey management area) will run from April 3 through Sept. 30 with a minimum size limit of 24 inches total length for Chinook through May 15, and 20 inches total length thereafter. The 2022 season will begin April 2 for all salmon except coho. According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, fishing in the Monterey management area is better early in the season, prompting recreational fishing representatives to prioritize its opening ahead of areas to the north. The San Francisco and the Fort Bragg management areas were originally scheduled to open in April, but on the advice of salmon fishery representatives, the PFMC made the decision to delay the openers in these areas to limit ocean fishery impacts due to poor stock forecasts. “K lamath R iver and Sacramento River fall Chinook contribute significantly to ocean harvest, and Klamath River fall Chinook are categorized as overfished,” said the PFMC in a March 11 press release. “This year’s management alternatives are designed to provide fishing opportunity for the more abundant Sacramento River fall Chinook while reducing fishing impacts on Klamath River fall Chinook.” The commercial 2021 season will be open for the Monterey management area from May 1-13; 20-27; June 15-30; July 16-22; and August 1-16; with a minimum size limit of 27 inches total length for Chinook. All tentative 2022 season openings could be modified following council review at its March 2022 meeting.

san diego fish report BLUEFIN TUNA AND YELLOWTAIL ARE HIGHLIGHTING SPRING FISHING! By Bob Vanian of 976Bite.com THE SPRING FISHING SEASON is well underway, and despite some cooler than normal water temperatures, there is good surface fishing to report for yellowtail and bluefin tuna. Further good news is that the cooler than normal water temperatures have been warming a bit there are now water temperatures that are in the low to mid-60s. Anglers are hopeful that the recent increase in water temperature will bring with it more widespread activity from surface fishing species such as tuna, yellowtail, bonito, barracuda, and calico bass.
The big news for Southern California saltwater anglers has been catches of bluefin tuna that are being made by boats fishing 1.5-day trips to the offshore waters below and outside of Ensenada. A recent trip on Polaris Supreme out of Seaforth Sportfishing produced a catch of 46 bluefin tuna with 23 anglers on a 1.5-day trip. Seaforth Sportfishing reported that the bluefin on that trip ranged in size maxing out at 115-pounds. Polaris Supreme is out on the bluefin grounds again this morning as I am preparing this report and Seaforth Sportfishing has an 8:30 a.m. update of them having caught 11 bluefin tuna that are in the 80 to 160-pound class. They were still fishing and had other hookups going at the time of that report.
The good news on bluefin tuna fishing continues as H&M Landing has received an early update report from Old Glory that is out on a 1.5-day trip and has an early catch report of 20 bluefin tuna aboard ranging in size from 60 to 130-pounds. Most of the bluefin aboard Old Glory are reported to be up over the 100-pound mark and they were also still working with lots of fishing time remaining in the day.
Look for meter marks, sonar marks, working birds, and spots of breaking fish to locate bluefin. Bluefin have been biting best on sardines and Flat Fall jigs with some action being reported on the Flat Fall jigs from meter marks and sonar
marks that are found at night. Other things you might want to try are Colt Snipers, poppers, iron, mackerel, and flying fish. The best bluefin bite area is located in the region of the 450 Spot that is located below and outside of Ensenada for boats fishing between 67 and 72 miles 166 to 167 degrees from Point Loma.
There has not been much coverage by boats looking for bluefin at offshore banks more local to Point Loma but there was an unconfirmed report of a private boater catching four bluefin tuna while fishing below the Upper Hidden Bank at around 42 miles 188 degrees from Point Loma. About 10 days ago, Captain Mark Martin of San Diego Saltwater Fishing Charters reported catching limits of yellowtail while fishing kelp paddies found below and outside of the Upper Hidden Bank at around 41 miles 197 degrees from Point Loma.
The fishing around Los Coronado Islands has been providing a mix of reds, rockfish, lingcod, and yellowtail. In recent days, there has also been a recent increase in calico bass and short-sized barracuda activity. The yellowtail activity tends to be hit or miss but there have been some good catches of yellowtail made on the better days of fishing. One of the better recent sport boat yellowtail catches was posted by San Diego out of Seaforth Sportfishing that had a full day trip with 34 anglers catch 45 yellowtail.

Captain Mark Martin of San Diego Saltwater Fishing Charters was out fishing a recent trip to Los Coronado Islands and reported finding an early morning yellowtail bite at the Flats area inside of the stretch between the Middle Grounds and South Island. Martin reported finding spots of working birds in the area and yellowtail were popping up under the diving birds. He reported catching two yellowtail on surface iron out of three hookups before the bite died out. The yellowtail were 15-pound fish and the water where they found the yellowtail activity was 59 degrees and off-color.
Martin said that once the yellowtail activity quieted down that they spent the rest of the day catching an assortment of rockfish. Martin likes the signs of surface fishing he has been seeing around Los Coronado Islands lately and says that things have been “coming to life” over the past 10 days.
The best area for yellowtail has been the Flats in an area ranging from inside of South Island over to where you are fishing the Flats inside of the Middle Grounds. There has also been yellowtail activity found along the weather side of North Island and at the Middle Grounds. Yellowtail are being located by finding sonar marks, meter marks, spots of fish under working birds, trolling strikes on deep diving Rapalas, fly lined sardines, slow trolled sardines and sardines fished on a dropper loop rig.
Good choices for yo-yo iron include Salas 6X and Salas 6X Jr. jigs in blue and white, blue and chrome, and scrambled egg. Good choices for surface iron include Salas 7X lights and Tady 45’s in blue and white, mint and sardine colors.
The bottom fishing around Los Coronado Islands has been good and some of 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 along the outside dropoff of the South Kelp Ridge in 25 to 50-fathoms.
The fishing along the San Diego County coast has been good for a mix of rockfish, reds, whitefish, sculpin, sand
bass, calico bass, and an occasional bonus lingcod, yellowtail, or halibut.
The yellowtail fishing off the upper end of La Jolla has seen a bit of improvement in recent days and private boaters have been scratching out a few yellowtail during the early morning and the late afternoon hours. Surface iron that is cast to spots of breaking fish found under working birds has been the best bet for trying to catch a yellowtail off La Jolla. Most of the yellowtail caught along the coast have been 15 to 20-pound fish.
Productive hard bottom and structure areas for the reds, rockfish, whitefish, and lingcod are the Imperial Beach Pipeline, the International Reef, the Whistler Buoy and the Dropoff outside of Point Loma, the Point Loma Pipeline, the Green Tank at Point Loma, “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 kelp off the Green Tank 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.
The halibut fishing remains scratchy but there has been some warming of the water along the coast with some areas now seeing temperatures in the 61 to 64-degree range. Anglers are hoping that this warming water might be what it takes to spark a halibut bite. 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.
Captain Joe Cacciola of Sea Star with Sea Star Sportfishing and the Oceanside Sea Center reports that the Southern Cal has undergone a lot of renovations and that it is now online for daily half-day trips.
