Ocean Fathoms Ages its Wine in Nature’s Perfect Cellar: on the Ocean Floor in Santa Barbara Channel Each wine bottle Ocean Fathoms ages is unique, collecting barnacles, coral, seashells, worm trails and other souvenirs during its 12-month stay below the surface.
SANTA BARBARA— It started with a shipwreck in the Baltic Sea that left 168 bottles of French champagne at the bottom of the ocean for 170 years. The sunken trade schooner was discovered off the coast of Finland in 2010 and scattered amongst the wreckage 160-feet below the surface, were the bottles of bubbly. The tops were popped and experts who tasted the contents said the champagne preserved its taste even after decades thanks to near-perfect wine aging conditions found at the bottom of the Baltic Sea - a stable temperature of 35-40 degrees Fahrenheit, relatively low salinity, low levels of light, and high pressure. The discovery inspired and gave rise to a unique and uncommon wine aging method that uses the seafloor as cellar. After the shipwreck was discovered, several wineries, including Veuve Clicquot, began small experiments with aging wine in the ocean to see how the wine compares to the same wines aged in cellars.

After trying and failing to get his hands on an ocean-aged wine, Emanuele Azzeretto, who grew up in Italy making wine with his family, decided to make his own, marking the beginning of Ocean Fathoms. “I’ve been a diver since I was a little kid so I wanted to drink some. Tried to buy it, tried to look for it, nobody could get it, they couldn’t give it to me,” said Azzeretto. “…So that’s how it started, because no one wanted to sell it to me.” Santa Barbara-based Ocean Fathoms is a producer of ocean-aged wine, producing several proprietary blends of their own as well as collaborating with wineries around the world to age other wines with their unique process. All the wines are lowered to the ocean floor just about Please see BIZARRE, PAGE 6

Born and raised doing Grunion runs I know how to catch them. The best way to do it is to grab a handful of sand the same time they slide out of your hand. Also you have to tiptoe along the shore, they have spotters that come in ahead of the run if you spook them they
will go up or down the shore for another location for safety. I could talk about a lot of stories about Grunion runs some of my fondest stories as a kid. — Gerald Hoover

FAST FACTS
Red Sky at Night, Sailors’ Delight… By: LINDSEY GLASGOW UNDATED — Many know the back half of this ageold adage, red sky at night, sailors’ delight, red sky in the morning, sailors take warning. Many may also know that the saying is more than just lore, atmospheric science actually supports this old bit of sailing wisdom. Those in mid-latitude locations such as Oregon, Northern California, Wyoming, Virginia, North Carolina, northern Germany, and Poland can actually take advantage of this. There are two atmospheric-related factors that make this possible. One, storm systems in the middle latitudes generally move west to east and the red color in the sky is the result of sunlight reflecting off clouds. Low pressure is associated with bad weather and high pressure with good weather. Low pressure causes air to converge to try to “fill” the low, and converging air causes upward motion, which in turn produces clouds and precipitation. The reddish color results from scattering of sunlight by suspended particles and aerosols in the atmosphere, and the sun’s rays pass through a greater length of atmosphere at sunrise and sunset than at any other time of day. In addition, aero-
sol, dirt, and dust concentrations are maximized in the lowest layers of the atmosphere when the atmosphere is dominated by sinking air associated with high pressure. Therefore, when under high pressure we can see vivid red sunsets and sunrises. If the sky is red in the morning, the eastern horizon must be clear, and the clouds foretelling a coming storm are in the west, indicating the potential for bad weather. By contrast, a red sky at night can be produced only if the western horizon is clear and the clouds overhead are moving east, or clearing out, foretelling good weather. Picture yourself on a ship off the coast of North Carolina with a wind blowing from west to east. It is morning and you are watching the sunrise and the sky is red. Since it is morning, you are looking east, and the red sky indicates that there is high pressure there. Since you are in the mid-latitudes, the high is moving eastward, away from you. That could only mean that a low, and very likely an associated storm, is moving toward you from the west. Take warning! Now picture yourself watching the sunset from the ship, and the western sky is red. That means that an area of high pressure is to your west, the westerlies are moving it toward you, and good weather is on the way. Sailor’s delight!

QUESTION:
I am in the process of purchasing a boat through a yacht broker. According to the online listing information, the boat had new bottom paint and a lot of other work completed recently. However, when I had the boat hauled out for the survey it was clear that the bottom had not been painted in a few years and most of the other work advertised in the listing was also incomplete. The seller and the broker explained the error by claiming that they were working from a previous listing when the boat was offered for sale a few years ago, and they discounted the purchase price for me to compensate for the problem. But several days before the deal was scheduled to close I decided that I did not want to buy a boat that had been fraudulently misrepresented, so I backed out of the purchase. My broker now advises that I will lose my deposit since I had already signed the “final acceptance” section on the purchase contract. This seems ridiculous in light of the misrepresentations in the listing information, and I am considering legal action against the broker and the seller for fraud. What are my options in a case like this?

ANSWER: Our reader is considering legal action for fraud, but he must also deal with the possibility of legal action against him for breach of contract as a consequence of backing out of the purchase. Let’s look at each of these issues separately. We can start our analysis of the possible fraud with a simple observation. There is a difference between lying and committing a fraud, and you can’t sue someone for lying to you. Let’s look at this in more detail. The boat was represented as having recent bottom work and

The trucks will move 17 million salmon smolts from four different hatcheries to the Pacific Ocean.
CDFW to Truck Salmon from Fisheries to the Ocean The California Department of Fish and Wildlife will be trucking salmon smolts from California hatcheries to the ocean to bypass poor river conditions. By: JORDAN B. DARLING NORTHERN, CALIFORNIA — On April 28 the California Department of Fish and Wildlife announced that they were “taking the proactive measure” by trucking millions of hatchery-raised salmon to several ocean release locations. The fall-run chinook salmon are being moved from Central Valley to San Pablo Bay, San Francisco Bay, and seaside net pens. “What we are doing is taking and trucking from four different hatcheries approximately 17 million salmon smolts... we are moving them from the hatcheries to the main bay,” said Harry Morse, public information officer for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. “The idea is to bypass poor river conditions so these fish have a higher chance of survival... by cutting out that segment of the hazardous journey.” Poor river conditions include high temperatures and poor water flow that can leave the salmon vulnerable to predators and have the potential for the fish to be lost or stuck in little back endings, according to Morse. By bypassing the 50 to 100-mile trek down California’s rivers the salmon are able to bypass the predicted significant losses that would occur from the poor river conditions. The CDFW has been monitoring the river conditions in the event that Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency or there was no improvement in the conditions the department
was prepared to move forward with the project. When Newsom declared a drought emergency in two Northern California counties on April 21 the department was ready to move. “We analyzed that river conditions that started to deteriorate two months ago and we put into action setting up all the trucking operations so if drought was actually declared, which it was, and if conditions had not improved, we would be ready to take and move the fish,” said Morse. This is the second consecutive dry year, and the governor directed state agencies to take immediate action to bolster drought resilience and prepare for impacts. Although it has not been declared a state-wide emergency the governor’s office will continue to monitor the situation. There was a similar effort made by the CDFW in 2014 brought on by a severe drought that moved 300,000 young chinook salmon to San Francisco Bay for release either in trucks or on barges. In 2014 they were in the third consecutive year of a study to determine if barges would improve the smolt survival, by determining which group of fish were able to make it back to their natal hatcheries. “CDFW is utilizing lessons learned from the past 15 or more years of salmon releases and the last drought to maximize release success,” said Jason Julienne, North Central Region Hatchery Supervisor in an April 28 press release. “Trucking young salmon to downstream release sites has proven to be one of the best ways to increase survival to the ocean during dry conditions.” In the end it will take approximately 146 individual truck loads to move the salmon and ensure high survival rates. “Our main goal is to help get the highest survival rate possible, and this year the conditions are very negative and hopefully we get a high return,” said Morse.
a mile from Santa Barbara Harbor for 12 months before being brought up and enjoyed. “Perfect temperature, no light, no oxygen down there, there’s no sound and in a normal cellar you have to have someone who walks around and turns the bottles or turns the barrels and it’s not consistent, well the ocean current is constantly, slowly moving the juice inside the bottles, so you take all those factors together and it’s the absolute perfect environment to age wine,” said Ocean Fathoms Co-Founder Todd Hahn. Hahn said they are one of about eight producers doing this sort of thing worldwide. Ocean Fathoms is finalizing a permit with the Federal Drug Administration and once that is complete, they plan to start selling their wine directly to consumers through their website as well as in upscale seafood restaurants and resorts. Azzeretto began experimenting with the concept in 2016, spending the first years perfecting the technique and technology, which included developing a patent for the cages that drop and hold the wine while they’re underwater. Hahn joined the operation about a year later after one of the barnacle-covered bottles caught the eye of a mutual friend at a charity event who shared the find. “The following weekend I drove up to Santa Barbara, met Emanuel and tasted the wine, saw the bottles and was just blown away,” said Hahn. While Hahn and Azzeretto both had an affinity for drinking wine, neither were experts in the field and they wanted to bring on someone who could give the brand clout in the wine space and prove it wasn’t a gimmick. Hahn was able to get a meeting with
Jordane Andrieu, who owns Heritage Fine Wines in Beverly Hills and a biodynamic wine estate in Burgundy, France. “It was very clear he thought our idea was a gimmick,” said Hahn. But after tasting the wines, Hahn said Andrieu was on board. “He ends up tasting after about an hour, he looks down, he looks back up, he’s like I didn’t want to like this, I did not want to like this, and his demeanor went a 180,” said Hahn. “…He gave us a lot of credibility in the wine space.” Ocean Fathoms also brought on another well-respected figure in the wine space, sommelier and wine maker Rajat Parr. “I let the experts do the judging or how many years, what’s better or not, for me, it definitely takes the wine on a different path,” said Azzeretto. That path even differs year to year and can be seen on the outsides of the bottles where barnacle, coral and seashell growth vary based on the year. “Every single time we pulled up the cages, that almost becomes a vintage, like this is an El Niño year, this is the year of the fires, and oh this next year it was really wet, so it’s pretty interesting whatever happens on the environment on the outside has a different effect on what those bottles look like,” said Hahn. Hahn said giving back to the ocean is something they also wanted to do. He said they give 1 percent of everything they sell to Channel Islands Marine & Wildlife Institute and give away bottles for charity events for organizations related to protecting the ocean. “I get to dive, I get to drink good wines, I get to do what I love doing, so what better work than to do what you love doing,” said Azzeretto.
Wine bottles are pulled from the sea-floor off Santa Barbara Harbor in Ocean Fathoms’ patented cage after being aged in the ocean for 12 months.

other projects completed, but this apparently was not the case. The representations may have been intentional, in which case the seller may have lied to our reader and our reader may have a cause of action for fraud. It appears that the misrepresentations may not have been intentional, but for this discussion let’s assume that they were outright fabrications intended to mislead potential buyers.. According to section 3294(c) of the California Civil Code, “Fraud” is defined as “an intentional misrepresentation, deceit, or concealment of a material fact known to the defendant with the intention on the part of the defendant of thereby depriving a person of property or legal rights or otherwise causing injury.” The last part of this definition is where fraud is distinguished from simple lying. A legal claim for fraud or misrepresentation requires that a person suffer an “injury.” In this context, “injury” refers to financial damages so we’re not looking for blood. And, the financial damage must have been suffered as a consequence of the buyer’s reasonable reliance upon the lie or misrepresentation. Looking again at our reader’s case, he had an opportunity to back out of the deal after learning of the true condition of the boat. So he did not rely on the misrepresentations about the condition of the boat. And, since he never bought the boat, he did not suffer any financial damage from the misrepresented condition of

the boat (except perhaps for the cost of the haulout and survey). As noted above, a lie that is not reasonably relied upon and that does not result in financial damage is not a fraud. This is not a fraud. This brings us to the question of whether he will lose his deposit by backing out of the deal after he signed the final acceptance in the purchase contract. Boat purchases in California may be executed on a wide variety of contracts, and the question of whether a contract was breached will depend in large part on the language of the document. However, most yacht purchases in California use the form contracts prepared by the California Yacht Brokers Association, so we will assume that this deal used a CYBA
purchase contract. The “final acceptance” section of the CYBA purchase contract allows a buyer to inspect the boat, secure financing, and satisfy other contingencies prior to making a final decision to proceed with the purchase. Generally speaking, buyers may back out of the purchase and recover their deposit until they sign the final acceptance, but they are obligated to go forward when they sign it. Our reader may therefore be found to have breached the contract unless he is excused for some reason. A party may be excused from performing under a contract if the agreement was already breached by another party, or if some other legal claim arises against another party. In this case,
our reader may be excused from the contract if he can establish that the seller is liable for fraud, but as we discussed above he is not likely to succeed with that claim. As such there is a good chance that he will be found to have breached the purchase contract if he fails to go through with the purchase, in which case he will probably lose his deposit. We always include a disclaimer at the end of this column, advising that every legal dispute is different and that you should seek specific legal advice before reaching a conclusion on your particular case. Talk to an attorney experienced with purchase and sale transactions in your state if you are considering legal action of your own.

ly a busy boating weekend and kick-off to the summer boating season. Due to the pandemic, many annual events that coincide with National Safe Boating Week have been canceled, including the 16th annual Channel Islands Harbor Safe Boating Expo. The free annual event usually includes harbor rescue demonstrations; hands-on training for the proper use of a fire extinguisher and flares; and free life jackets exchanges. Event chair Harry Goldman said they hope to return next year and encouraged boaters to visit http://safeboating.us/ for more resources. “We wish everyone safe boating,” said Goldman. The National Safe Boating Council encourages boaters to take these actions to ensure a safe boating experience: Take a boating safety course. Check equipment.

Guard Auxiliary or U.S. Power Squadrons to make sure all essential equipment is present, working and in good condition. Make a float plan. Always let someone on shore know the trip itinerary, including operator and passenger information, boat type, and registration, and communication equipment on board. Wear a life jacket. Make sure everyone wears a life jacket – every time. A stowed life jacket is no use in an emergency. Use an engine cut-off device – it’s the law. An engine cut-off device, or engine cut-off switch, is a proven safety device to stop the boat’s engine should the operator unexpectedly fall overboard. Watch the weather. Always check the forecast before departing on the water and frequently during the excursion. Know what’s going on around you at all times. Nearly a quarter of all reported boating accidents in 2019 were caused by operator inattention or improper lookout.
Hosted by the NSBC, no
matter where boaters are safely working, they can join in the fun by wearing their life jacket and posting creative pictures on social media for a chance to win a prize. Boaters can participate by sharing a picture of themselves wearing a life jacket at work (or home) on social media along with

National Safe Boating Council has been promoting safe boating practices through National Safe Boating Week. “This awareness week draws attention to ‘the best boating experience is safe boating’,” said Yvonne Pentz, communications director of the NSBC, in an email. “Whether it’s taking a boating safety course, wearing a life jacket, using an engine cut-off device, and never boating under the influence, all of these things play a role in making your boating experience fun, memorable, and safe.” National Safe Boating Week runs May 22 through 28 and is the annual kick-off of the Safe Boating Campaign, a global awareness effort that encourages boaters to make the most of their boating adventure by being responsible. It is led by the NSBC in partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard. The NSBC reminds recreational boaters wearing a USCG-approved life jacket is the simplest life-saving strategy. USCG boating statistics for 2019 found 79 percent of boating deaths were due to drowning and 86 percent of victims were not wearing a life jacket. The USCG also found 70 percent of deaths occurred on boats where the operator had no boating safety instruction. The same report found California to be the third most deadly state for boating accidents in 2019 behind Texas and Florida, and second highest for the number of boating accidents in 2019 behind Florida. The latest data from the California Department of Parks and Recreation Division of Boating and Waterways found there were 450 boating accidents statewide in 2019, 207 accidents with injuries and 41 fatalities. On the Southern California coast specifically, there were 156 accidents in 2019 compared to 36 in 2018, 52 injuries in 2019 compared to 19 in 2018 and five fatalities in 2019 compared to two in 2018. The DBW found the top cause of accidents in California in 2019 was operator inattention. Pentz said the significant increase in all boating activities during COVID-19 has highlighted the very real need for safety education, outreach, and training for all recreational boaters. “While on-water (in-person) learning opportunities dwindled or stopped in many states, online learning saw a significant increase,” said Pentz in an email. “Many states are now starting to ramp back up their on-water (in-person) classes, and I encourage new and returning boaters to take this opportunity to learn or brush up on skills.” National Safe Boating Week got its start 1952 when a group of volunteers committed to sharing information about boating safety. Over the next few years this grew into a committee, and by 1958, this committee formed what is today the NSBC. That same year, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the first proclamation officially establishing National Safe Boating Week. This awareness week is now celebrated annually the week before Memorial Day weekend, which is typical-

Ventura Harbor Completes ADA Bathroom Remodel, Inner Harbor Dredging By: LINDSEY GLASGOW VENTURA — Two harbor projects have been completed in Ventura, the harbor dredging and remodeling of the Ventura Harbor Village restroom. The Ventura Port District Board of Port Commissioners received an update at its May 5 meeting notifying them that dredging work in the inner harbor and work to remodel the Ventura Harbor Village restroom at 1559 Spinnaker Drive to make it ADA compliant have been completed. In 2014 and 2015, the district surveyed buildings and facilities within Ventura Harbor and Ventura Harbor Village to achieve compliance with local, state, federal laws and regulations. The surveys identified physical barriers in Harbor Village buildings and facilities based on ADA Accessibility Guidelines and Title 24 standards. As a result of that survey, the board approved a project to remodel one restroom on the first floor and two restrooms on the second floor of the building at 1559 Spinnaker Drive in July 2020. The work has now been completed, and
the final contract cost is $101,923. Work to dredge the Stub Channel to restore safe passage for vessels and personal watercraft from Ventura Harbor into the Ventura Keys has also been completed. The board approved the dredging project in February after Bathymetric surveys in the northern portion of the Pierpont Basin and the Stub Channel indicated the need to perform maintenance dredging in those areas to maintain navigational safety. Staff had also noted that over the past year, largely in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic, public recreational vessel usage (powered and unpowered) in Ventura Harbor has increased. As evidenced by the number of paddleboards and kayaks being launched from Marina Park, the district launch ramp, and the exceptional growth in rentals from Ventura Boat Rentals, the number of vessels operating within the Stub Channel (connecting to the Ventura Keys) has increased and resulted in congestion and groundings due to the shoaling of the south side of the channel. The dredging work was completed on March 10.

Regional Water Board Approves Poseidon Permit, Coastal Commission to Weigh in Next On April 29, the regional water board approved a permit Poseidon Water needed to move forward with a plan to turn the old AES power plant in Huntington Beach into a desalination plant; the project still needs Coastal Commission approval and Poseidon will still need to secure customers. By: LINDSEY GLASGOW HUNTINGTON BEACH— Poseidon Water
has been granted a permit from the local water board for its controversial desalination plant in Huntington Beach, a project that has been in the works for roughly two decades. Poseidon will still need to get approval from the California Coastal Commission in order to move forward with plans and will still need to finalize a purchase agreement with the Orange County Water District in order to have
customers. At the continued Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board hearing on April 29, the board voted 4-3 to approve a permit for Poseidon’s project after discussing and clarifying language, mitigation, and discharge requirements. If approved, Poseidon’s proposed plant will be built at the old AES Huntington Beach Generating Station at Pacific Coast Highway and Newland Street. The plant will convert saltwater to roughly 50 million gallons of potable water daily. “Poseidon and the Orange County Water District share a common motivation, to provide a reliable, droughtproof supply of drinking water at the lowest possible cost,” said Scott Maloni, vice president of Poseidon, at the April 29 meeting. The board spent 12 hours hearing public comments and considering the project at a virtual public hearing on April 23. The discussion was continued to April 29 and ran for seven more hours. One sticking point was centered around the mitigation projects, which include dredging the Bolsa Chica wetlands inlet, restoring portions of the wetlands, and creating a 41-acre reef offshore of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Water board staff had proposed a requirement that Poseidon
get all necessary approvals for the mitigation projects before it would be allowed to discharge wastewater into the ocean. Opponents of the project had raised concern over the fact that Poseidon has yet to begin its mitigation work at its plant in Carlsbad that began operation in 2015. Maloni argued conditioning the discharge to begin only after mitigation projects had all necessary permits would make the project financially infeasible and was not necessary to assure Poseidon is incentivized to permit the mitigation efforts in a timely manner. “The length of time needed to permit the Carlsbad mitigation project was normal and actually Poseidon was able to complete the process in less than the average time that it has taken similar other wetlands restoration projects,” said Maloni at the April 29 water board meeting. He noted the San Diego regional water board was set to issue the final permit for the Carlsbad desalination plant mitigation project in the coming days. The water board ultimately agreed to modify the requirement so that Poseidon only has to complete 60 percent of design plans and develop estimated timelines before beginning to discharge wastewater into the ocean. As part of the compromise, Poseidon proposed an amendment requiring them to set up a dedicated mitigation account where the funds needed to permit and construct the mitigation projects would be placed at financial close. “We need to do our job on this as board members and that job is to min-
imize that period in which unmitigated discharge is going to take place,” said Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board Member Daniel Selmi. Poseidon still faces several more hurdles, including an appeal of the permit approval from Orange County Coastkeeper. “We’ve been working on the appeal even before the board voted,” said Gary Brown, founder and president of Orange County Coastkeeper. Brown has been involved in fighting the project for the past 22 years. Brown and other opponents believe the project to be unnecessary, a detriment to lower-income families in Orange County, and not environmentally friendly. Brown also said he felt it was a high-financed political campaign based on return to investors. Poseidon also still needs approval from the California Coastal Commission. Brown said the project could make it before the commission before the end of the year. Poseidon will also need to work out a purchase agreement with the OCWD. In 2018, the OCWD approved a term sheet that indicated a desire to evaluate the ideal terms of a final agreement with Poseidon Water to purchase water from the Huntington Beach Desalination Facility but details still need be worked out, including an agreed-to price for the water and figuring out how to distribute the desalinated water. “I don’t know how many more years this will go on, Poseidon thinks they’re at the end of the tunnel and I see two, three years and that’s without lawsuits,” said Brown.
Poseidon Water is one step closer to building a desalination plant to convert saltwater to drinking water at the former AES power plant site on Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach.

Orange County Coastkeeper says the county has agreed to add additional public amenities to the small beach and guest docks at 1901 Bayside Drive.
OC Parks Amends Application for Corona del Mar Visitor Dock After hearing input from stakeholders Orange County Parks modified their Coastal Development Permit Amendment Application to remove the public access restrictions at 1901 Bayside Drive previously included. By: LINDSEY GLASGOW NEWPORT BEACH — After sig-
nificant public input, Orange County Parks has modified its Coastal Development Permit Amendment Application for the public beach and docks located at 1901 Bayside Drive near Newport Harbor Patrol a nd C oa s t Gua rd . O ra nge County Coastkeeper reported the county has agreed to restore public access and add additional amenities for the public. The new application is expected to go before the California Coastal Commission in June. OC Parks had previously submitted an after-the-fact application to the Coastal Commission to amend a coastal development permit to change the use of the visitor dock at 1901 Bayside Drive from a public temporary tie-up to an emergency dock for Orange County Sheriff Harbor Patrol use only and afterthe-fact approval to change the hours of the dinghy dock tie-up from 72 hours maximum to dayuse only between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. They also sought to install safety gates and fencing around the Orange County Sheriff Department building and lifeguard
headquarters building. OC Parks and the OCSD have cited a May 2017 Vulnerability Assessment and Mitigation Report that found safety and security concerns at the harbor patrol facility as the reason for the changes. The Coastal Commission was scheduled to hold a public hearing to determine the fate of the CDP application on March 10, but due to widespread public opposition, including from Coastkeeper and dozens of submitted public comments, the county postponed the hearing. Coastkeeper said the proposed CDP application would have greatly impacted access to the Newport Harbor Patrol Guest Dock and adjacent beach. “It was just a total overall take from what had been public access,” said Garry Brown, founder and president of Orange County Coastkeeper. Coastkeeper, with the help of University of California Irvine Environmental Law Clinic, met multiple times with county and Coastal Commission staff and advocated for the restoration of public access. Coastkeeper said the new permit will include the immediate restoration of the public’s use of the visitor dock, which will be shared with emergency use; the addition of beach wheelchairs to increase ADA access to the sandy beach; restoration of a public 20-minute loading parking space at the top of the visitor dock gangway; 24-hour use of the dinghy dock, with the ability to request additional time from harbor patrol; and installation of an ADA lift on the visitor dock, pending feasibility for ADA compliant access to lift. “The last kind of proposal we’ve seen, which we’re delighted with and applaud them, gives even more public access than
what we had,” said Brown. “And so, you know it’s a win. It’s a win for us, it’s a win for boaters.” Marisa O’Neil, the public information officer for OC Parks, confir med they have made changes to their original permit application. “OC Parks made the modifications after having the opportunity to reach out to various stakeholders to work through their concerns regarding public access, and collaborated on solutions that would also maintain public safety while closely coordinating with Coastal Commission to work within the framework of their guidelines,” said O’Neil in an email. She also said there will be a public outreach plan to increase awareness about the amenities at the site, which include the availability for the public to rent seven moorings located to the southeast of the five overnight slips. “County Parks couldn’t have been more genuine in their effort to restore what we had,” said Brown. The public access issue first came about in 2019 when signage reading “Keep Out” and “Authorized Personnel Only” was placed at the entrance area to the public guest docks and the public dinghy dock time limit was changed from 72 hours to 20 minutes. The harbormaster was issued a Notice of Violation from the Coastal Commission and the county removed the unpermitted signage and reopened the dinghy dock between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. OC Parks had subsequently submitted the amendment application to resolve the violations and make changes to the dock. “When the sheriff’s department started this, I don’t think they even knew the Coastal Commission had any involvement,” said Brown. Brown said he encourages the public and boaters to continue to use the public amenities at the site.
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE By: LINDSEY GLASGOW SACRAMENTO— Its crunch time for legislators to get bills passed in their house for the 2021-2022 legislative session. June 4 is the final day for each house to pass bills introduced in that house, with Sept. 10 being the final deadline for any bill to be passed. Here’s the latest update on some of the key bills the Log has been tracking this year.
PASSED ASSEMBLY » AB 335 – Consumer Privacy: Vessel Owner’s Information
Introduced Jan. 27 by Assembly Member Boerner Horvath (D-Encinitas), Assembly Bill 335 allows manufacturers of recreational boats and marine engines to receive and retain specific contact information for buyers of its products for the limited and exclusive use of conducting product safety recalls and warranty verification. On May 3, the bill passed the Assembly and was read for a first time in the Senate on May 4.
» AB 591 – Water Craft Correctable Violations
Introduced Feb. 11 by Assembly Member Carlos Villapudua (D-Stockton), Assembly Bill 591 will allow certain boating law violations - such as an expired vessel registration, not having a serviceable fire extinguisher, not having proper personal flotation devices, or not having a boater card in the operator’s possession – to be deemed “correctable” to encourage operators to remedy issues for the benefit of boater and public safety. The bill passed Assembly on April 22 and was read for the first time in the Senate on April 26.
STILL IN ASSEMBLY » AB 377 – The California Clean Water Act
Introduced Feb. 1 by Assembly Member Robert Rivas (D-Hollister), the California Clean Water Act included provisions to eliminate all “impaired waterways” and make all waters in California suitable for drinking, swimming, and fishing by 2050. The bill was amended in Assembly on April 13 to remove provisions requiring all California surface waters attain beneficials uses by January 1, 2050. The amended bill requires
the state board and regional boards to prioritize enforcement of all water quality standard violations that are causing or contributing to an exceedance of a water quality standard in a surface water of the state by January 1, 2023, and requires the state board and regional boards to evaluate impaired state surface waters and report to the Legislature a plan to bring all water segments into attainment by January 1, 2050. The amended bill still needs to pass the Assembly.
» AB 534 - Whale Entanglement Prevention Act
Introduced Feb. 10 by Assembly Member Rob Bonta (D-Oakland), the bill would have required all trap and pot fisheries, recreational and commercial, in California to transition to ropeless gear by Nov. 1, 2025, in an effort to eliminate marine life entanglements. An April 26 Assembly hearing was canceled because Bonta, the bill’s author, was appointed the state’s attorney general. Bonta was sworn in as California’s attorney general on April 23, and no other assembly member chose to pick up the bill after his departure. If the bill is not picked up, it will be dead for the 2021-2022 legislative session.
» AB 564 – The
Biodiversity Protection and Restoration Act Introduced Feb. 11 by Assembly Members Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego) and Ash Kalra (D-San Jose), AB 564 would ensure that the goals of biodiversity protection, including the 30x30 goal, are not just aspirational, but are actually pursued by agencies as an official policy of the state. The bill was set for a first hearing on April 14 but the hearing was canceled at the request of the author.

Scientists in Washington Breed Sunflower Sea Stars for Rehabilitation of the Species
By: JORDAN B. DARLING S A N J UA N I S L A N D — University of
Washington’s Friday Harbor Laboratories were able to celebrate the successful metamorphosis of dozens of juvenile sunflower sea stars in late April. This is the first attempt to raise the notorious slow-moving predator in captivity, and the first-time scientists have been able to observe their life-cycle. The sunflower sea star population was nearly wiped from the ecosystem between 2013 and 2016. In 2013 an outbreak of sea star wasting syndrome, (SSWS), a disease that causes lesions on the outside of a sea star leading to decay, fragmentation, and eventual death, ravaged the west coast decimating 90 percent of the population. The disease peaked in 2015, and in 2019 the University of Washington and the Nature Conservancy approached Dr. Jason Hodin, senior research scientist at Friday Harbor Laboratories, to study the life cycle of the starfish in captivity. “The university approached me in 2019 to study the captive lifestyle of the sea star,” said Hodin “... It was optimal timing I had time and I knew this was a catastrophic disappearance, I was already toying with the idea and then the nature conservancy approached me that’s what got this started it’s been two years of how to collect the stars how to raise them and how to make the adjustment to juveniles.”
Hodin is a marine biologist and entomologist with the university whose previous work dealt with the transition from larva to the juvenile stage. After being approached for the project Hodin and his team went through the process of setting up their operation, that included collecting specimens, observing them, and figuring out how to help them adjust to the juvenile stage. The project was off to a slow start when colleagues sent eggs and sperm from Alaskan sea stars in the summer of 2019 and then they were able to get their own in November 2019 and were able to successfully raise larva to juveniles in January 2020. They were able to start a new round of reproduction in January of this year, and Hodin believes that the past two years have made them a lot wiser and hopefully a lot more successful. “We’ve learned so much every day,” said Hodin. “...We are looking at life stages that have never been observed before. It’s like a needle and a haystack to come across them in the wild.” Hodin said that the lab is too small to grow the hundreds of thousands of sea stars that it would take to reintroduce them to California waters, but the information and techniques that they are learning can be passed on and it could hopefully lead to other programs. “The main goal is to basically catalyze a large-scale breeding operation to restore sea stars to the wild,” said Dr. Jason Hodin, senior scientist at University of Washington Friday Labs. “We are learning a lot of techniques and ways to grow them that can be used. What I hope more than anything is to do things on a small carefully observed scale that can then inform and encourage the eventual long-term goal if it seems to be a viable thing to do. But if it’s generally agreed to, we would like to be helping make that a reality.”

Newport Beach Mayor Brad Avery filed a call for review for a proposed project to redevelop a vacant marine sales facility into a boutique auto showroom and 35unit residential complex. By: LINDSEY GLASGOW
NEWPORT BEACH— The Newport Beach
City Council has flagged several concerns with a redevelopment project on Mariners Mile, including parking requirements and compliance of the project with the city’s general plan. The proposed project at 2510 and 2530 W. Coast Highway would replace Bayport Yachts with a mixed-use development consisting of a residential complex with 35 units, three of which would be low-income affordable units, and an 11,266-square-foot boutique auto showroom. Bayport Yachts had been in the location since 1960 but the site has been vacant since January, according to a staff report. The project received Planning Commission approval in February but Mayor Brad Avery filed a call for review due to public concerns related to potential impacts from the project, including impaired views. “This is important because it really is part of what happens next in Mariners Mile,” said Avery at the April 27 City Council meeting.
The City Council reviewed the project at its April 27 meeting and voted 4-1, with councilmembers Noah Blom and Duffy Duffield recusing themselves and Mayor Pro Tem Kevin Muldoon voting no, to continue the discussion to the May 25 meeting. “I’d really like to have a much better understanding of the parking issues, the design element issues from an objective, subjective standard and then density bonus issues as well,” said Councilmember Will O’Neil, who made the motion to continue the discussion. During more than an hour of public comments, concerns about public views were echoed as well as about traffic, parking, the modern atheistic, and the project not fitting with the city’s general plan for the Mariners Mile area. “I believe the community, the feedback that I have received and including myself, is that there is a huge atheistic problem with this project, it does not represent nautical, it does not represent Mariners Mile,” said one commenter. The project team contended there would be no impacts to views from John Wayne Park, presenting visual simulations to show what those views would look like, and that the project was in compliance with all city rules. “All we’ve tried to do as a developer is to follow the rules that are set by city of Newport Beach… we’ve worked with the city for two years,” said Mark Moshayedi, who owns the property. The Council also wrestled with density bonuses and the Housing Accountability Act, which prevents the city from reducing or rejecting the density of a project if it meets objective general plan and zon-

Catalina Island Museum Director Steps Down By: JORDAN B. DARLING C ATALINA —Julie Perlin Lee stepped
down from her role as executive director at the Catalina Island Museum to take on a new role at the Laguna Art Museum as executive director. Lee finished her tenure on April 23 and started her new role on May 3.
Lee arrived at the Catalina Islands Museum in 2016, and during her time with the museum instituted a rotating schedule of outdoor sculpture installations featuring Southern California artists and brought special exhibitions including the making of JAWS, art from José Guadalupe Posada, filmmaking of Harry Houdini and Esther Williams, and paintings of Avalon when Sugar Loaf stood.

Council Raises Questions About Proposed Mariners Mile Redevelopment Project
The Newport Beach City Council is reviewing a proposed project to redevelop a vacant marine sales facility at 2510 West Coast Highway into a boutique auto showroom and 35-unit residential complex. ing standards unless the city makes written findings showing evidence that the project will have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety. For years the city has grappled with the plans for what the small harbor-themed village along a 1.3-mile stretch of Coast Highway known as Mariners Mile will look like in the future. Once filled with marine-related businesses, it has steadily evolved to include more boutique stores, restaurants, luxury car dealerships, and other commercial uses.
“I think the residents who have spoken tonight have hopes and aspirations for a Mariners Mile that sort of meets the dream, if you will, and the dream’s not perfect and the dream’s not going to be perfect, but it is going to get built and I would just like to see, speaking for myself, just a better partnership between the community and the developers of these really iconic properties,” said Avery. The property is one of several in Mariners Mile planned for redevelopment.
Executive Director Julie Perlin Lee has been with the museum since 2016 and started her new position with the Laguna Art Museum on May 3. Courtesy Photo “There is no way to overstate the positive impact that Julie and her family have had on not only the museum but the city of Avalon and our special community,” said Ron Bevins, Chair of the Catalina Island Museum Board of Trustees, in an April 5 press release. “She has carried out the best vision that the museum could hope for and we as a Board only hope to continue to grow upon what has been accomplished so far. We will miss Julie but we are only beginning to bring art and education to our community.” Lee spent five years at the museum working to create a creative and social hub for the Avalon community, according to the press release. “I am so proud of what we have accomplished,” said Lee in an April 5 press release. “I am certain that the foundation we have built together will allow the next leader to take this organization to even greater heights.” The Board of Trustees has announced
a search for a new director and assured the public there will not be a disruption in the museum’s educational offerings, programming, or exhibitions. The Catalina Island Museum officially reopened indoor exhibitions in April of this year in compliance with Los Angeles County’s COVID-19 guidelines. Aside from their permanent installation of Catalina Island history, the museum is also offering temporary exhibitions including Elizabeth Turk: Tipping Point, which is on display through September 2021; Gayle Garner Roski: Journey to Titanic, which is on display through October 24, 2021; and Titanic: Real Artifacts, Real People, Real Stories, which is on display through February 13, 2022. The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. To learn more, see The Catalina Island Museum website at: https://www.catalinamuseum.org/visit.

The project will reduce emissions by almost 90 percent.
By: JORDAN B. DARLING SAN DIEGO — The Port of San Diego is
doubling its shore power capability at its B Street and Broadway Pier cruise ship terminals. The port just approved $4.6 million in funding for the project, which includes several agreements for equipment purchasing, construction, and installment of the additional shore power equipment. The project will provide standing shore power to two cruise ship terminals allowing cruise ships to ‘plugin’ and runon electric power and turn off their diesel generators which allows the cruise ships to lower their carbon emissions. The project is part of the port’s commitment to comply with the recently updated California Air Resources Board regulations, requiring cruise ships using California ports to use shore power by Jan. 2021, and is part of a larger maritime clean air strategy. Dan Malcom, port commissioner for the Port of San Diego, said that by providing shore power outlets the port will see at least a 90 percent reduction in harmful pollutants. “[The port has] been planning this improvement for a long time,” said Malcom. “We have put that money aside... we have gone out and looked for grants, and at the end of the day we are financing this through our money through operations. It
shows our commitment to the community and to clean air, we are committed to being environmentally sensitive and enhancing our commerce.” The port initially used shore power in 2010, they were one of the first ports to do so in California according to Malcom. At the time the port beat the state regulation to reduce diesel particulate emissions from at least 50 percent of cruise calls by nearly four years. Malcolm said what they are doing now is providing clean electric power on the docks. Malcom calls the project a “win-win” because of the economic benefit of cruise ships in the port and the environmental benefit of the project. Malcom said that the cruise ship industry has an almost $2 million benefit to the region from the influx of tourists who are flying in, exploring the area, and pumping money into the economy. Malcolm also said that the port is dedicated to facilitating the maritime business in an environmentally friendly fashion. “Bottom line at the Port of San Diego we are an environmental steward,” said Malcom. “...We are committed to being a good neighbor to the communities that are next to us, and being a good neighbor means prudence and facilitating clean water and air for people around San Diego Bay.” The project is just one of the port’s initiatives, the port is expecting to install two shore power outlets to the National City Marine Terminal by 2025, and additional shore power to the Tenth avenue terminal by 2031. Malcolm said that the port is in the planning process for the B Street and Broadway terminals and expects that the project will be complete by Sept. 2022, give or take six months depending on permitting and the building out process.

US State Department Puts Out Travel Advisory for Mexico The US State Department has raised the travel advisory in Mexico to level four, do not travel, due to COVID-19, the department also warned travelers to exercise caution because of increased crime and kidnapping. By: JORDAN B. DARLING MEXICO — Mexico is one of more than 115
countries that the U.S. State Department has issued a level four, do not travel, advisory based on a recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that outlines current health issues for travelers. “Level 4: Do not travel to Mexico due to COVID-19. Exercise increased caution in Mexico due to crime and kidnapping. Some areas have increased risk,” said an April 20 advisory. In an April 30 health update, the state department reported that as of April 26, Chihuahua, Mexico City, and Mexico State had reported the highest number of active cases and Chihuahua and Tabasco were the only states reporting hospital occupancy rates above 30 percent for regular COVID-19 beds. Mexico has implemented a national spotlight system, which tracks the gradual phase-in of activities using a four-color system to indicate risk level with red as the highest risk level and green the lowest. The U.S. State Department released
an update of states and their corresponding level that was up to date through May 9. There are no states currently with a red level of advisory. Six states were listed under orange, the second highest risk level, including Baja California Sur. Hotels, restaurants, barber shops, open-air parks, gyms are at 50 percent capacity with shopping malls, churches, cinemas, theaters, museums, and cultural events at 25 percent. Twenty states are designated under yellow which allows for outdoor spaces to be open on a regular basis and enclosed spaces can operate at a reduced capacity. Aside from the health advisory, the department has issued level three, reconsider travel, and level two, exercise increased caution, advisories for several states in Mexico because of increased crimes and kidnapping in those areas. There are four levels of travel advisory with do not travel at the top and exercise normal precautions at the bottom. There are five states listed under “do not travel,” the highest level of travel advisory, due to the state of crime in the regions. Colima, Guerrero, Michoacán, Sinaloa, and Tamaulipas are experiencing increased violent crime and widespread gang activity. There are eleven states listed under “reconsider travel,” the second highest level of travel advisory, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Jalisco, México, Morelos, Nayarit, Nuevo León, San Luis Potosí, Sonora, and Zacatecas. The state department warns travelers that they have a limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in parts of Mexico.

Balboa Peninsula Becomes Tourist Destination By: JORDAN B. DARLING Main St. Balboa Ca, circa 1915. In the late 1800s Balboa Peninsula served as a landing to load goods for exports until the opening of San Pedro Harbor. After starting off as a center for commercial trade and shipping, the peninsula was eyed as a potential recreational spot and resort town. In 1905 The Pacific Electric “Red Cars” were extended to
include service to the peninsula which brought vacationers and Hollywood soon followed using the peninsula as a backdrop for movies and a stage for big bands like Benny Goodman and Nat King Cole. The peninsula still remains one of the number one destinations for Southern California.

On May 1 SpaceX began a lease with the city of Long Beach for a rocket recovery center where a former U.S. Navy Complex used to be.
10/15/20
8:23 AM
on Pier T in Long Beach harbor for their West Coast launch vehicle recovery operations. On May 1, SpaceX, an American aerospace manufacturer headquartered in Hawthorne and founded by Elon Musk, began a two-year lease with the Port of Long Beach. The company will be taking over the former Naval base and most recently operation pier for Sea Launch, a commercial satellite launch company, which has been standing empty for a year. SpaceX will be using the location as a launch vehicle recovery center, the pier will allow for easy access to retrieve launch vehicles, they will be using the pier to dock its vessels and offload equipment. “From what we know it’s going to be for working vessels of loading and unloading of storage for their operations, and they are bringing the Falcon 9 recovery operations to the site it is proprietary to their operations,” said Frank Collonna, president of the Board of Long Beach Commissioners for the Port of Long Beach. According to the Long Beach Post, the company will pay $107,000 a month for the use of the facility. Collonna said that the company is taking the location as is and will be responsible for maintenance on the pier, or any improvements to the 6.5-acre facili-
Long Beach has a long history with aerospace engineering, and now a SpaceX launch vehicle recovery center will call the city home. ty that includes a warehouse, office building, and wharf. Collonna expects that the company will bring in an influx of jobs to Long Beach, and highlight the strong relationship and history between aerospace and the city. “It’s always a great opportunity, especially for us at the port,” said Collonna. “... It’s another big job generator for us so we are very excited about it, and it adds to our community of port tenants that are in particular very compatible with the space industry especially with SpaceX.” Long Beach has a strong history with aerospace and aviation that dates back to the summer of 1940 when Donald Douglass, president of Douglas Aircraft Company, and Carl Cover, vice president, agreed to buy a 200-acre site in Long Beach for an aircraft manufacturing facility, according to Long Beach Business Journal. Boeing bought out the Douglas Aircraft Company in 1996, and in that same decade formed a consortium with com-
panies from Russia, Ukraine, and Norway, for a commercial satellite launch enterprise. Between 1999 and 2014 Sea Launch performed 36 missions with 32 successes before vacating the port over a year ago. Collanna believes that this next step with SpaceX is a move into the next generation of aerospace, space exploration that compliments the already full history of aerospace in Long Beach and the various aerospace companies that have already made their home in the beachside city. “We are all very excited,” Collonna. “It is one more key element to a compliment of our space operations we have Virgin Orbit, Spin Launch, Rocket Lab, and Relativity Space. They are all connected with aerospace, the launch material, and equipment for space. We are very excited for Long Beach.” SpaceX could not be reached for comment, to learn more about the company see the link, https:// www.spacex.com/.

Three Dead After Suspected Smuggling Vessel Overturns off San Diego SAN DIEGO— On May 2 a boat capsized
off the coast of San Diego with 32 people aboard. At least three people died and several people were injured when the 40-foot cabin cruiser capsized near Point Loma. The boat is a suspected smuggling vessel, 28 of the people on board were undocumented non-citizens that have since been taken into custody by the U.S. Border Patrol. “Every indication from our perspective was this was a smuggling vessel,” Jeff Stephenson, a spokesperson for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said at a afternoon press conference. The boat hit an ocean reef before capsizing, several people were taken out to sea by rip currents. Officials did not reveal the origin of the boat, but a federal investigation is underway.
and Britain over fishing rights as a result of Brexit. Post-Brexit rules now require fishermen to submit their past fishing activities to receive a license to fish in the waters. The French fishing community is railing against the post-Brexit rules claiming that some boats have operated around Jersey for years and are now suddenly restricted. There were 50 boats from French ports that joined the protest over licenses. Jersey government officials met with French fishermen on May 6 to discuss the situation.
Brazil Teams Up with Global Fishing Watch to Share Vessel-Tracking Data BRAZIL—Brazil is the sixth Latin-
American country to sign a data-sharing agreement with the Global Fishing Watch to publish its vessel-tracking data. The GFW, a partnership between Google and advocacy groups Oceana, and SkyTruth, is a website launched in 2016 that provides a global view of commercial fishing activities. Currently there are 200,000 vessels that are publishing their locations on the website. “This movement is quite symbolic of the transformative effort that actual mandate is putting aiming better management of fishery resources,” Brazil Aquaculture and Fisheries Secretariat Director Cadu Villaça told Seafood Source. The movement preaches sustainability through transparency and allows the public to track fishing vessels in real time.
West Virginia Angler Catches a Record-Breaking Muskellunge CHARLESTON, W.VA.—A fishing guide in West Virginia reeled in a record-breaking musky, coming in at almost 40 pounds and measuring 54-inches long. Chase Gibson, a fishing guide in West Virginia, told WFXR Fox that he was fishing at Burnsville Lake near Clarksburg and Charleston when he caught the fish. After having the fish measured and certified by a biologist from the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources for the state record, Gibson chose to release the fish after it was tagged, meaning the fish could break its own record.

2025 World Championship for 49er, 49erFX, and Nacra 17 set for Long Beach The classes signed a memorandum of understanding with the Long Beach Olympic Classes Organizing Committee to hold this joint world championship ahead of the 2028 summer Olympic games in Los Angeles.
Brazilian sailors Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze sail in the 49er FX class in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Sailors will have the chance to compete in the Olympic 49er FX, 49er and Narca 17 classes in the 2025 World Championship event in Long Beach.
By: LINDSEY GLASGOW LONG BEACH — Sailors hoping to com-
pete in the 49er, 49erFX, and Nacra 17 classes at the 2028 Olympic games in Los Angeles will have the chance to compete in local waters in a World Championship event set for 2025. It was recently announced the 2025, 49er, 49erFX, and Nacra 17 World Championship will be held in Olympic waters off the coast of Long Beach. “Any young and ambitious sailors in America should perk up their ears at these opportunities,” said Luther Carpenter, U.S. Olympic Head Coach at US Sailing, in an April 22 press release from US Sailing. “Community, a strong domestic schedule, top-notch training, ‘mini-campaign’ opportunities, and brushing shoulders with the best is all available in our backyard. It’s a great time to focus on tackling a new boat and new goals. It’s a great time to embrace the idea of the journey, meet sailors from other areas of our country, and be told ‘you’ve got talent – here are some tips for getting up to speed’.” The classes signed a memorandum of understanding with the Long Beach
Olympic Classes Organizing Committee to put in place the plans necessary to hold this joint world championship in the first year of the L.A. quadrennial, according to the Narca 17 Class website. The LBOCOC was formed to run key Olympic Classes racing in Olympic waters and has already begun planning an annual event set to start this summer. This is the LBOCOC’s first agreement to host a major championship. “Nacra 17 sailors love to go fast and Long Beach is known for its amazing sailing conditions, and it will be a fantastic spot for our Worlds in 2025,” said Nacra 17 Class President, Nathan Outteridge, in a March 16 released statement. Over the next few years, the LBOCOC will work with all local and national stakeholders to define the exact shape and form of the 2025 championship. This will be the second World Championship held in North America in the coming years. In 2022, the Worlds will be held in Halifax, Canada. Carpenter said a unique component of these three class championships is that they require no qualification to attend and all gender-eligible teams (49er men, FX women, Nacra mixed) are encouraged to attend.

California Department of Fish and Wildlife Opens Del Norte Clam Fishery The California Department of Fish and Wildlife reopened the recreational razor clam fishery in Del Norte County after a five-year closure. By: JORDAN B. DARLING DEL NORTE— After a five-year closure
due to a public health hazard from domoic acid, the recreational razor clam fishery in Del Norte County has reopened.
The CDFW announced the reopening of the fishery and the continued closure of one in Humboldt County in an April 30 press release. The reopening came after a recommendation from state health agencies that said the clams in the area no longer posed a significant threat for domoic acid exposure. The fishery was closed in 2016 after the California Fish and Game Commission voted to close recreational fishing on the beaches in an emergency rulemaking decision based on a recommendation from the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment and the California Department of Public Health.

THE VOICE OF PACIFIC COAST BOATING
SINCE 1908
A massive bloom of Pseudo-nitzschia in 2015 caused high levels of domoic acid in razor clamShutterstock photo The hazard advisory has been in effect since 2015 because of elevated domoic acid levels. Domoic acid is a potent neurotoxin that can accumulate in shellfish and other marine animals. Low level exposure in humans can cause nausea, diarrhea, and dizziness, at higher levels it can cause short-term memory loss, seizures, and can even be fatal. The elevated domoic acid levels were a result of a massive Pseudo-nitzschia bloom in the Pacific Ocean in 2015 that stretched from Central California to Alaska. Pseudo-nitzschia is a single-celled marine alga that produces the domoic acid. There are annual blooms of the alga in hot spots along the coast of the United States, this particular bloom was spotted in late May 2015 in Washington before scientists realized it had spread up to Alaska and down to California.
The bloom was considered the largest and longest bloom in the past 15 years, according to a May 2, 2016, article from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Levels in Monterey Bay were 10 to 30 times more than the normal levels. The fisheries have been under assessment from state health agencies and reports from Crescent City in March and April showed lower concentrations of domoic acid, according to the April 30 press release from CDFW. The CDFW, CDPH, and Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment will continue to monitor the fisheries for the acid. The CDFW has a daily bag limit of 20 and the first 20 clams dug have to be retained regardless of size or condition. For more information see the CDFW website at https://bit.ly/3epOPOt.

TOP CORNER Yellow! These Anglers Had a Tail to Tell! Newport Landing Sportfishing in Newport Beach submitted a photo for Top Corner to the Log from an April 23 half-day trip on the Western Pride. “These Yellowtail were THE LARGEST Yellowtail Capt. Mike has ever seen on a 1/2 Day boat in his 11 years as a Captain,” said Jessica Roame, education programs manager for Newport Landing Whale Watching, in an April 27 email. The yellowtail were caught off the coast and weighed in at 45, 43, and 38.7 pounds. Roame said that yellowtail this size are more commonly found on the backside of San Clemente Island or closer to Mexico. “You’ve got to be ready for anything as an angler out in Southern California, so don’t forget those surface irons on our 1/2 Day trips,” said Roame.
Davey’s Locker Sportfishing and Whale Watching Facebook
Recreational anglers have until Nov. 15 or until the quota is reached, whichever is earlier, to fish for Pacific halibut. FEATURED CATCH Spotted: A Mystery Fish on the Western Pride The Western Pride out of Davey’s Locker Sportfishing and Whale Watching in Newport Beach brought in this mystery fish on a recent trip. “Capt. Mike from the Western Pride pulled in this very weird looking species on their recent Twilight fishing trip. He’s never seen a fish like this before!? (Approximately 12”),” said an April 19 Facebook post. After some consultation and a bit of Facebook guess work, Davey’s Locker came to the conclusion that the mystery fish is a spotted cusk-eel. They are uncommon species found on the sandy bottom of the Eastern Pacific along the coast of Washington down to Baja.

Pacific Halibut Fishery Opens The 2021 recreational Pacific halibut fishery opened May 1. By: LINDSEY GLASGOW SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA— The 2021 rec-
reational Pacific halibut season has officially opened and anglers will have until Nov. 15 or until the quota is reached, whichever is earlier, to fish for Pacific halibut. The 2021 Pacific halibut quota for the California sport fishery is 39,260 pounds – approximately the same as the 2020 quota. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife said while the closing date of Nov. 15 is a new extension to the end of the season, the open dates are not guaranteed and the season could close early if it is determined that the quota has
been taken. In 2020, the season closed Aug. 11, when a very successful fishery resulted in the early attainment of the state’s limit. Another important regulation anglers should note is the daily bag and possession limit is one fish with no minimum size limit. When angling, no more than one line with two hooks attached may be used. A harpoon, gaff, or net may be used to assist in taking a Pacific halibut that has been legally caught by angling. Anglers participating in the Pacific halibut fishery and other recreational fisheries are reminded they may be met at fishing sites by CDFW staff collecting catch and fishing effort information. In the case of Pacific halibut, staff will also be taking length measurements in a safe and physically distanced manner. The information gathered through these efforts will aid with quota tracking and in-season management.
State regulations for Pacific halibut automatically conform to federal regulations set by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service. Federal regulations for Pacific halibut were published in the Federal Register (86 FR 20638) on April 21 and took effect immediately. Anglers are always advised to check for updated information when planning a Pacific halibut fishing trip, as a season closure announcement could come at any time. Public notification of any in-season change to regulations is made through the NMFS Pacific halibut hotline at 800662-9825 or CDFW’s Groundfish and Pacific halibut Regulations Hotline at 831-649-2801. More information on Pacific halibut regulations can be found on the CDFW website at wildlife.ca.gov/conservation/ marine/pacific-halibut.

san diego fish report BLUEFIN TUNA AND YELLOWTAIL CONTINUING TO HIGHLIGHT SPRING FISHING By Bob Vanian of 976Bite.com SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA— offshore anglers have been enjoying a fine spring fishing season to date, and what was already good fishing has continued to improve as we approach the middle part of May with a mix of bluefin tuna, yellowtail, and large bonito biting in offshore waters.

Catches of bluefin tuna continue to grab the spotlight with the late winter and early spring season producing bluefin catches that have gone up into the 200-plus pound class, current fishing producing bluefin that have been for the most part ranging from 20 to 120-plus pounds. Most of the yellowtail found around offshore kelp paddies have been in the 6-to-15-pound range and most of the bonito being caught offshore have been in the 8-to-12-pound range.
The current areas producing good fishing for bluefin tuna, yellowtail, and bonito have been the area to the east of the 267 Spot that is located easterly of the Tanner Bank, the western wing of the Butterfly Bank, the San Clemente Basin Weather Buoy, the San Salvador Knoll, the 230 Spot, the deep water outside of the 224 Spot, and the deep water about half way between the back side of South Island and the 302 Spot. This has boats fishing areas that are spread from 18 to 70 miles 215 to 250 degrees from Point Loma.

Some recent highlight fish counts start with Seaforth Sportfishing having today’s full day trip aboard San Diego return with 28 anglers having caught 50 bluefin tuna that were in the 20-to-60pound range. Seaforth Sportfishing also had Tribute return from a 1.5-day trip with 32 anglers having caught 42 bluefin tuna, 65 bonito, and 5 yellowtail.
Point Loma Sportfishing had Mission Belle out fishing a full day trip and 14 anglers caught 23 bluefin tuna, and 6 yellowtail. Point Loma Sportfishing also had American Angler return from a 1.5-day trip with 28 anglers having caught their limits of 56 bluefin tuna that ranged from 18 to 119 pounds.
Fisherman’s Landing reported that today’s full day trip aboard Liberty had 36 anglers catch 43 bluefin tuna that went to 70 pounds. Fisherman’s Landing also had Pacific Queen return from a 1.5-day trip with 34 anglers catching their limits of 68 bluefin tuna along with 34 yellowtail. Most of their bluefin were in the 20-to-60-pound range and they also had 9 bluefin that were up in the 100-to-120-pound range. Fisherman’s Landing also had Tomahawk and Pegasus return home from 1.5-day trips with catches that included limits of bluefin tuna and Condor’s 1.5-day trip returned with 29 anglers having caught 22 bluefin tuna and 82 yellowtail.
Ollie at H&M Landing reports that Grande fished a full day trip with 32 anglers who caught 27 bluefin tuna and 5 yellowtail. He also reports that Old
Glory returned home from a 1.5-day trip where 30 anglers caught 51 bluefin tuna and 6 yellowtail. Another report was that Legend returned home from a recent 1.5day trip with limits of bluefin tuna which was 36 bluefin tuna and 3 yellowtail. Red Rooster III returned home from a 1.5-day trip where they had 30 anglers catch their limits of 60 bluefin tuna.
Bluefin are being located by finding sonar marks, meter marks, spots of breezing fish, spots of breaking fish and spots of working birds. Once bluefin are located they have been biting well on Flat Fall jigs, Colt Snipers, flylined sardines and sardines fished with a 4-ounce torpedo sinker.
The fishing around Los Coronado Islands has not been sampled much lately with most Skippers choosing to fish for the bluefin tuna, yellowtail and bonito in local offshore waters. The most recent reports about the fishing at Los Coronado Islands are that the surface fishing has been slow and that there has been good fishing for bottom fish species such as reds, whitefish and rockfish to go with an occasional lingcod.
The best area for the bottom fishing around Los Coronado Islands continues 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 best areas for trying to scratch out a yellowtail in recent weeks have been the weather side of North Island, the Middle Grounds, the Flats and the back side of South Island. Recent weeks have also seen some calico bass biting at areas such as the South Kelp, the Ribbon Kelp, the north end of South Island, the Middle Grounds, the back side of South Island and Pukey Point at North Island.
. Yellowtail have been located by finding sonar marks, meter marks, spots of fish under working birds, trolling strikes on deep diving Rapalas, flylined 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.

FISH REPORT, FROM PREVIOUS PAGE
County coast has been good for a mix of rockfish, reds, whitefish, sculpin, sand bass, calico bass and an occasional bonus lingcod, yellowtail or halibut.
The best area for a chance at a yellowtail along the San Diego County coast has been fishing off the upper end of La Jolla. There have been occasional showings of yellowtail in the area and if you are fortunate enough to be at the right spot at the right time when some yellows decide to show, there has been a chance at hooking a 15-to-20-pound class yellowtail. Surface iron, yo-yo iron and slow trolled mackerel have been good choices to try for the occasional yellowtail hookup that has been coming from the upper end of La Jolla.
Calico bass fishing has been improving at the coastal kelp bed areas with the kelp at the upper end of La Jolla, the Jetty Kelp outside of Mission Bay and the kelp outside of the Roundhouse at Sunset Cliffs being the most productive areas for the calicos. When available, live anchovies have been the best bait for the calicos. When I spoke with Ollie at H&M Landing earlier today, he reported that Premier had a good morning of bass and rockfish fishing on their morning half day trip on Mother’s Day morning with 22 anglers catching 83 rockfish, 6 sculpin, 17 calico bass and 6 sand bass. Today’s afternoon half day trip on New Seaforth out of Seaforth Sportfishing had
one of the best calico bass bites of the spring season and they had a catch of 29 anglers catching 77 calico bass and 1 sheepshead.
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.
The spring surface fishing continues to be led by the good fishing for bluefin tuna, yellowtail and bonito in offshore waters. The yellowtail fishing has been lagging behind at the Coronado Islands and along the coast but there is still plenty of good fun fishing to be found for calico bass, sand bass, reds, rockfish, sculpin and whitefish. Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water sometime soon!

vice commodore and race committee chairman. Organizers acknowledged current circumstances are likely to evolve between now and July and said their protocols will as well. Transpac has been raced biennially, with few exceptions, since 1906. Shortly after Hawaii became a U.S. Territory in 1900, Honolulu businessman and yachtsman Clarence Macfarlane discussed creating such a race with Los Angeles businessman and South Coast Yacht Club member Harry Sinclair. The first Transpac race began off the San Pedro breakwater on June 11, 1906 between three yachts: Macfarlane’s La Paloma, Sinclair’s 86-foot schooner Lurline, and Charles Tutt’s 112-foot ketch
