Federal judges continue to support efforts to save vaquita species by restricting commercial fisheries using gillnets. By Parimal M. Rohit
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A four-month ban on Mexican seafood imports, specifically those caught in the Gulf of California by commercial fisheries using gillnets, was upheld by a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, it was announced in late November. The ban, which applies to shrimp and other seafood caught in the northeastern Baja California region, was ordered as part of a preliminary order aiming to protect the vaquita, a marine mammal species found exclusively in the Gulf of California region, from extinction. It was the third time the seafood import ban was upheld as part of an ongoing appeals process. Conservationists and environmental groups certainly welcome the upholding of the seafood import ban. At least one person, however, wrote to The Log and stated the seafood import ban is misdirected. “This embargo is poorly designed, as gillnets for those products are banned already and the current threat
to the vaquita is the totoaba, and it is not addressing that, instead putting pressure on legal fishers,” Rafa Ortiz, a marine biologist in Mexico, wrote to The Log on Twitter in September. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, nonetheless, maintained the seafood import ban for certain Mexican-caught items. The Trump administration sought to have the seafood import ban “stayed,” but the aforementioned appeals court stated the government did not meet the legal standard to reverse the recent rulings in favor of the groups who sued federal officials. Those groups are the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Animal Welfare Institute and Center for Biological Diversity. “Our determination is governed by four factors, the first two of which are the most critical: (1) whether the movant has made a strong showing of likelihood of success on the merits; (2) whether the movant will be irreparably injured absent a stay; (3) whether issuance of the stay will substantially injure the other parties interested in the proceeding; and (4) where the public interest lies,” the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit stated in its order. “Without prejudicing the ultimate disposition of this case, we conclude that the government has not established that a stay of the order pending appeal is warranted here.” A statement issued by the Animal

U.S. ban on Mexican seafood imports upheld by appeals court
Yet another federal ruling has upheld a ban on Mexican seafood imports. The ban is specifically attached to seafood caught by gillnets in the vaquita’s Gulf of California habitat.
Welfare Institute said: “gillnets kill about 50 percent of the rapidly dwindling vaquita population every year.” Most of the vaquita population has been lost within the past 20 years, mostly due to use of gillnets in the Gulf of California region. There are fewer than 30 vaquitas remaining in the world, according to the most recent estimates. The vaquita, at its current death rate, could be extinct within the next few years, as The Log has reported several times recently. Conservation groups, of course, have urged the United States to rely upon laws it already has on the books they believe could potentially help save the nearly extinct species. “The Marine Mammal Protection

Act requires the U.S. government to ban seafood imports from foreign fisheries that kill or injure marine mammals, including the vaquita, at a rate above U.S. standards,” an Animal Welfare Institute statement on the most recent appeals court order said. “The rate of vaquita killing by Mexico’s fisheries in the Gulf of California is above U.S. standards, and its efforts to stop this bycatch do not meet U.S. guidelines.” Preventing the extinction of the vaquita has also garnered international attention. UNESCO, for example, contemplated but didn’t go forward with an “In-Danger” designation for the marine mammal species.

Methane hydrate, or flammable ice, might be the new direction of energy

JAPAN—With the energy crisis, authorities on the subject worldwide are putting an emphasis on finding new sources of fuel. In an article by BBC, there was a spotlight on sea ice found in the depths of Japan’s ocean. However, this ice is not like something found in a refrigerator dispenser — the substance is called methane hydrate and it is highly flammable.

The recovery project is being overseen by a court because it’s tied to legal proceedings involving ex-fugitive treasure hunter Tommy Thompson. He found the wreckage on a voyage funded by investors who later sued because they didn’t share in the profits. Central Ohio auctioneer Robert Cassel, who’s working on the sale, says there are thousands of items, including jewelry, passengers’ tickets and cigars. He says if one buyer can’t be found for the whole lot by early next year, items will be sold piecemeal.
Unlicensed captain sent to prison for death of passenger MIAMI (LOG NEWS SERVICE) — The captain of a Florida charter boat will spend nearly three years in federal prison for the death of a passenger who was struck by a propeller. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami says Mauricio Alvarez was recently sentenced to 33 months in prison after pleading guilty to ship officer neglect resulting in death. The 49-year-old Alvarez was the captain of a 91-foot yacht Miami Vice on April 1 when it stopped in Biscayne Bay and some of the seven passengers went swimming. Alvarez did not check to see if all were back onboard before he engaged the engine, causing one passenger to be killed by the propeller. Alvarez did not have a U.S. captain’s license. Boat owner Laurent Marc-Antoine Jean Maubert-Cayla has also pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing.

Vessel operators can either turn off auxiliary engines and connect to grid-based shore power, or use alternative technologies to achieve equivalent emission reductions while in port. Based in Geneva, Switzerland, MSC is one of the largest worldwide container shipping companies. MSC cooperated with the investigation and subsequently converted its California fleets to include 100 percent shore power-equipped vessels, and has had no further violations of the At-Berth regulation. The fine was paid to the California Air Pollution Control Fund to support air pollution research, and the company agreed to comply with all requirements of the regulation.

STATE Shipping Co. pays CARB $630,625 in penalties for at-berth violations SACRAMENTO (LOG NEWS SERVICE) — A Swiss based shipping company has paid $630,625 in penalties to the California Air Resources Board for violating the OceanGoing Vessel At-Berth regulation during visits to California ports. The violations were discovered during a routine audit of Mediterranean Shipping Company vessels visits to the Port of Oakland and the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach during 2014. In a release CARB said that it found more than 2500 violations at both the Oakland and LA/LB ports for failing to reduce auxiliary engine power generation by at least 50 percent and for exceeding limits for auxiliary engine run time as required by the At-Berth regulation. “Ocean-going vessels are significant contributors to air pollution,” said CARB Enforcement Division Chief Todd Sax. “Even in port, their auxiliary engines generate toxic diesel particulate pollution that impacts not only port-adjacent communities, but also entire inland regions. This regulation helps to protect all Californians and is necessary to ensure we meet our clean air goals.” Adopted in 2007, the At-Berth Regulation was designed to reduce emissions from diesel auxiliary engines on container ships, passenger ships and

Huntington Beach establishes new commission for Harbour Southern California’s often-overlooked waterfront will finally have an oversight committee. By Parimal M. Rohit HUNTINGTON BEACH — It’s not quite a new Sheriff in town but Huntington Harbour will finally have a formalized oversight committee addressing day-to-day issues at one of the most overlooked boating destinations in Southern California. The city of Huntington Beach recently voted to establish a Harbor Commission for the Huntington Harbour area. Its purpose would be advisory, with members of the commission providing advice to the City Council on infrastructure, safety, water quality and Municipal Code amendments. Sitting on the commission would be seven members, approved by Huntington Beach’s City Council. Two council liaisons would also serve on the commission. Each commissioner’s term would last for four years; all commissioners are limited to serving two terms. The issues commissioners would discuss and
deliberate are no different than any other advisory board of its type would encounter: dredging, water use, watercraft and vessel operation, capital improvements and long-range planning. Huntington Beach’s decision to create an advisory board to oversee the harbor area is a long time coming. Huntington Harbour is the last waterfront venue in Southern California to not have some sort of formal committee or agency advising on or governing issues affecting the waterfront. Orange County’s northernmost harbor, of course, is quite unique. Many of the slips and docks at the waterfront venue are attached to private residences. Local boaters have to navigate through a national wildlife refuge a naval weapons station en route to the open ocean. Through it all Huntington Harbour might be closest thing to an undiscovered frontier. The Log, to be sure, rarely covers the happenings or musings of Huntington Harbour, save for the one-time cover story on watercraft/vessel safety or occasional piece on Christmas boat parades.

Royal Mumbai Yacht Club and the U.S. 9 By Parimal M. Rohit MUMBAI — The Log’s editor recently visited his mother’s hometown of Mumbai, India. One of the places he stumbles across during his visit was the Royal Bombay Yacht Club, located in the symbolic heart of Mumbai and a short sail to a stretch of the city’s waterfront known as the Queen’s Necklace. But did you know Royal Bombay YC, which was founded in 1846, has reciprocity with nine clubs (yachting or otherwise) in the United States? (Only two of them are yacht clubs.) The nine clubs are: • Minneapolis Club • Seattle Yacht Club • The Army & Navy Club (Washington, D.C.) • The Columbia Club (Indianapolis) • The Houston Club • San Francisco Yacht Club • The Williams Club (New York) • The University Club of Washington, D.C. • The Yale Club of New York City.

Royal Bombay YC was one of the first buildings seafarers would see as they approached Mumbai’s southernmost peninsula. The area surrounding Royal Bombay YC today is one of the most frequented portions of the city, what with the Gate of India – the country’s second-most visited landmark, behind the Taj Mahal – located next door. Other yacht clubs founded around the same time as Royal Bombay YC include: Royal Bermuda Yacht Club (1844), Royal Yacht Club Onsted in Belgium (1846); Royal Netherlands Yacht Club (1847); and, Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club (1849).

Newport Beach mayor and boat builder narrowly holds lead for City Council seat. By Parimal M. Rohit
NEWPORT BEACH — What a difference one month makes. The Log, shortly after the Nov. 6 midterm elections, reported Newport Beach Mayor Marshall “Duffy” Duffield lost his City Council re-election bid, based upon results posted at press time. Results available on Dec. 6, however, show Duffield leading opposition candidate Tim Stoaks by 36 votes. The Log’s original post-election report had Duffield losing to Stoaks by 310 votes. Updates results since then still had Duffield in the loss column, but he eventually took over the lead and held a thin lead over Stoaks as of press time for this issue. Stoaks had 14,017 votes, to Duffield’s 13,707, when The Log’s press time closed just after the midterm elections. The Orange County Registrar of Voters now shows Duffield with 18,458 votes, just ahead of Stoaks’ 18,422. A few readers of The Log chimed in on our initial reporting of the Duffield-Stoaks race, pointing out mail-in ballots had yet to be factored into the results we reported. Reporting on Duffield’s loss in our Nov. 16 issue, accordingly, was premature. Updated results out of the Orange County Registrar of Voters confirmed as much, meaning Duffield will hold onto his City Council seat for another four years. Duffield’s lead could mean three of the four City Council incumbents up for re-election this year retained their respective seats. Council member Scott Peotter lost his bid for re-election. It will be interesting to see how the next four years play out with Duffield potentially remaining on the council. One of the biggest issues during his first term (and came up during the campaign) was the number of times Duffield recused himself from harbor-related agenda items. Duffield, who invented the Duffy electric boat, regularly cited a conflict-of-interest during several deliberations of harbor-themed issues. The recusals certainly raised questions of whether Duffield was a true voice of boaters on the dais, as he didn’t participate in many votes on issues directly affecting the harbor. Duffield was first elected to the City Council in 2014, defeating then mayor Rush Hill. The Duffield-Stoaks race was certainly one of the narrowest races in all of Orange County. Only the State Senate race for California’s 34th District, which pitted Republican Janet Nguyen against Democrat Tom Umberg, was closer. Nguyen carried a slim two-vote lead (118,125 to 118,123) over Umberg among Orange County voters. (Umberg, however, still won the election, as the portion of the district in
Los Angeles County gave him enough votes to defeat Nguyen overall.) The 34th District, coincidentally, includes Alamitos Bay Marina and Huntington Harbour. Duffield is one of two boaters on the Newport Beach City Council; the other boater is Council member Brad Avery. Both Duffield and Avery served on the city’s Harbor Commission before winning their respective City Council seats. The City Council held it’s final meeting of 2018 on Dec. 11. Council members selected Diane Dixon as the city’s new mayor, meaning Duffield’s mayoral term is officially over.

Standing Watch From page 6
will finally earn some steady coverage in The Log. We’ll obviously learn more about this outpost of a harbor as the commission begins to take shape in 2019, but let this news also serve as a reminder of what the other harbors in Southern California already have - a forum to air grievances, discuss policy and otherwise participate in the public process. (This is not to say Huntington Harbour boaters haven’t had a public process to participate in, though local boaters haven’t had a dedicated committee or commission dedicated to them as their counterparts up and down the Southern California coast.) It’s quite intriguing, really, how Huntington Harbour could have went this long without a dedicated advisory board or committee to give policymakers input on what matters most to local users of the north Orange County waterfront. Huntington Harbour boaters and watercraft users will certainly have their own set of issues to address with the new harbor commission, once
it’s officially formed and operational. The broader takeaway here, of course, is the recent Huntington Beach City Council action shows a specialized committee or commission for harbor-related topics is a necessity when it comes to public process and involvement. Boaters and other watercraft users from Chula Vista to Santa Barbara now have some form of representation on the local or regional level. It’s imperative for boaters and watercraft users to actually interact with their respective committees and commissions. There are, after all, so many issues directly affecting boaters and watercraft users, such as water quality, slip fees, navigational hazards, sea level rise, marine debris and the co-existence of boaters with kayakers and standup paddleboard users, to name a few. Some issues are the same regardless of location, others are specific to a certain marina or harbor, but the point remains the same: policymakers won’t address your needs unless you’re actively involved with the process.

Letter to the Editor
Newport Boat Models A Division of Duffield Marine
Dear Editor, It was a stunning Fall day in our little coastal village. The sun was warm,the water sparkling-- smiling locals waved to each other, happy to have a well deserved break from the onslaught of tourists. From our swimming hole at Casino Point, we gazed at the horizon and realized what was missing. Our strange feeling of contentment came from an uncommon view of our harbor unblocked by the massive white wall of a cruise ship. Every year at this time, after a summer season of crowded weekends and the Monday/ Tuesday hoards, cruise ship “repositioning” suddenly takes over. New lines visit and new docking days are added, more ships on their way to winter dry dock. Our two-day weekly cruise ship schedule becomes three, sometimes four days, all magically orchestrated by the Board of the Chamber of Commerce. Fall coincidentally , is also the time of the Great Cruise Ship Conference in Florida, which local Chamber members and politicians perennially attend. Close on the heels of this forum come the marketing articles in the Islander news, touting added cruise line opportunities and added possibilities for relocation stops. These promotions and letters include selected statistics. We are told 18% of cruisers rent golf carts while 60% go shopping. Data that does not say how much is actually spent, gained or shoplifted. There is of course, the seasonal wharfage fees of $600,000, but with the omission of an odd,little known fact--- $200,000 of the City’s profit is returned to Carnival Lines. Avalon, apparently, is the only port that does so! While the great promise of visitor returns is cited, it seems more likely the savvy among them learn not to come back on a Monday or Tuesday. After all---the nix on Monday/ Tuesday is a staple observation repeatedly made on social media and in Yelp and Trip Advisor. What the chamber’s rosy perspective unfailingly misses is the stress of over scheduling and overtourism on infrastructure, the use of city water, trash and sewage. The chief architect of increasing cruise ship berths doesn’t live here, and would hardly notice the crowded streets and increasing plastic for our already full landfill, the crowded streets and smell of golf cart exhaust, and smoke sputtering from the generators on board ship. He never hears the common downtown comment: “I like coming out when there is NO cruise ship”. The ever-increasing cruise industry increasingly has its detractors. Worldwide, destinations are limiting visits or completely closing ports. Molokai, Hawaii refuses visits altogether, as do many Greek and Tahitian islands. Venice has realized the disturbance to their historic venue. Ibiza, Spain, curtailed cruise schedule through local control; UNESCO closed usage of the port of Dubrovnik unless numbers were managed. The quality of life, the character of towns, islands, and cities is at stake, as is the ecology of our oceans. Could we not all agree that two days per week of hosting floating cities is more than enough for our town, our harbor and our quality of life?

San Pedro’s Fishing Fiesta Glory Days Liveaboard Slips Available
SAN PEDRO — In 1953, when this photo was taken, the Fisherman’s Fiesta in San Pedro was all the rage. At this time, fishing was thriving in the L.A. Port and once a year the San Pedro Fishing Fleet was blessed by the Roman Catholic Church. Vessels were decorated and there was much pomp and circumstance to celebrate commercial fishing in the area. Today, however, the commercial fishing industry in San Pedro has waned considerably with the last cannery closing in 2001. The Fisherman’s Fiesta, along with the canneries, has disappeared.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein SAN PEDRO—As San Pedro readies to wipe out what is left of the old Ports O’ Call Village to begin construction on the massive waterfront development San Pedro Public Market in 2019, it does leave a few wondering what kind of amenities boaters can expect in the new design. The project is partially inspired by San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf area and staff has not been subtle about their aspirations to make the L.A. Waterfront one of the premier tourism destinations on the West Coast. San Pedro has a lengthy history as one of the largest port business districts in the world and has broken records for most containers moved in years before. As the identity of Port of L.A. continues to change in the coming years, here is a listing of a few notable amenities that can still be accessed now.

Pedro since 1933. Recreational vessels will still be able to fuel up at the fleet headquarters located at L.A. Berth 74, which lies at 33.729470 degrees latitude and -118.274462 degrees longitude. This location is also Los Angeles’s main shipping channel. While the dock will provide gas, diesel and lubricants to “pleasure boats,” the location also provides services to commercial cruise ships and megayachts. There is a dock store offering bait, ice, drinks and other snacks as well. The hours of operation are seven days a week from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m., but the location is closed on Christmas Day, New Year’s Day and Easter. For questions or other inquiries, call 310-7325550 ext. 234. Another favorite fueling station is Maxum Petroleum, located at 1028 S. Seaside Ave., which claims to offers gasoline and clear diesel in a competitive price range. This location is opened from Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, and until 3 p.m. on Saturdays.
Courtesy Docks for Recreational Boaters Courtesy docks are free and open to the public from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m. at Downtown Harbor, also known as Berth 85. There are a few rules for docking, however. The docks are limited to four hours per every 24-hour period. Charter vessels and any other commercial vessel are not permitted to dock in this area, and there can be no commercial activity or transfer of fish or other merchandise here. Vessel size is limited to 100 feet
Pictured here, the Jankovich Company fuel docks can be found at Berth 74.
and 100 gross registered tons. For more information about the courtesy docks, visitors can contact the Wharfinger Division at 310-732-3810 during weekday business hours. Boaters can contact Los Angeles Port Police at 310-732-3500 on weekends.
Boat Launch Ramp On Cabrillo Beach, there is a fully paved, public boat launch ramp that can be accessed at Shoshonean Road near Cabrillo Marina. Just a few of the features are trailer parking, boat washing facilities and restrooms. Oversized vehicles and boaters park for $2 per hour at a $15 maximum. Vehicles that are hitched to a boat trailer can be left overnight for $15 per day, but personal vehicles without boat trailers may be towed if left past 10 p.m.
Active Marinas, Anchorages & More On the Port of Los Angeles website, there is a listing of more 15 marinas and 3,736 slips in the greater San Pedro area including Wilmington and Terminal Island. According to the website, there are more than 400 liveaboard boaters that occupy these marinas. The port has been an advocate for the Clean Marina program, which is a certification program that offers guidelines for how marina managers and boaters can keep their waters environmentally sound. Twelve of the marinas have been certified by the Clean Marina program. For a full listing of the marinas offered in San Pedro, visit the website at portoflosangeles.org/community/boaters.

Larger storage units have recently been installed at Oceanside Harbor. According to harbor manager Ted Schiafone the waitlist is already long for the next installation of storage.
Capital improvement projects begin to enhance Oceanside Harbor’s amenities New larger storage lockers have been installed with plans to add additional units and restore three public bathrooms. By Devon Warren-Kachelein OCEANSIDE — Oceanside Harbor recently presented a Capital Improvement Plan to provide more storage in the area as well as remodel three bathrooms in the harbor. Oceanside’s amenities, over the years, had begun to get a little tired. Ernie Prieto, co-founder of Oceanside SEA Center, shockingly revealed in early 2018, before the building was remodeled, there had been no running water for 10 years. Oceanside Harbor manager Ted Schiafone recently told The Log harbor maintenance staff has been very busy during the past fall and winter with a new capital improvement initiative to improve storage. All of storage units, which totals 20, have been rented out and additional storage lockers are on tap to be installed before the summer. The new storage facilities, according to Schiafone, are twice the size of the older models and are large enough to contain and lock two to three bicycles. Part of the reasoning behind the new storage units is to help beautify the harbor’s appearance and clear the decks of any burdensome items. “I can tell you that we already have a long waiting list for the next installment

Both vessels are at fault — PERIOD! According to ColRegs, a collision between two vessels is the fault of BOTH vessels, PERIOD! Percentage of blame will be assessed following an extensive investigation by, among others, USCG. This tragedy is even more complicated due to the loss
of storage units,” Schiafone said. In addition to the on-land storage facilities, the small and outdated storage containers on the floating docks will also be replaced. There have been complaints in the past about restrooms available to patrons in the harbor. Three restrooms are in the process of being remodeled and will include new plumbing fixtures, lights, windows, flooring, and interior and exterior paint. The first restroom to receive a makeover is located on the north side near F dock. Afterwards, the bathrooms adjacent to Nautical Bean Coffee Shop and near the fishing pier will be completed before the summer season.

No one should speculate ANYTHING. These are two professional crews and hopefully until we learn what the FACTS are they will be treated as such. My heart goes out to the man who lost his life and those injured, AND to the Captains and crews of BOTH boats. Having been a Captain in both Mission Bay and San Diego Bay for 35 years and a crewmember on many other vessels including the Prowler for over 45 years, I know how tough the job can be.

Scientific updates added into guidance document and could influence future state legislation By Parimal M. Rohit
SAN FRANCISCO — New findings reported by California’s Ocean Protection Council (OPC) gave the California Coastal Commission reason to revisit and update its sea level rise policy guidance document. Commissioners did just that on Nov. 7, unanimously voting to incorporate new science into the policy guidance during their November meetings in San Francisco. The policy guidance, in general, was crafted to be an evolving document, constantly subject to updated scientific findings. The current sea level policy guidance update could influence proposed legislation during the next legislative session and gubernatorial administration. Commissioners approved the policy guidance update one day after voters elected a new governor and updated who would represent them in the legislative halls of Sacramento. California’s sea level rise guidance policy, which was guided by NOAA, was adopted by the Coastal Commission in August 2015. “The guidance is meant to provide information and recommendations for how to address sea level rise in the context of the Coastal Act,” Kelsey Ducklow, a coastal program analyst with the Coastal Commission, said. “Specifically, it includes a set of guiding principles for addressing sea level rise, a summary of sea level rise science, step-by-step processes for addressing sea level rise, and local coastal programs and applications for coastal development permits.” Coastal Commission staff revisited its sea level rise policy guidance as part of a discussion of how the predicted environmental phenomenon would constrain development. Coastal Commission staff also discussed recent
science updates. The current policy guidance update is now based upon a 2018 report created by OPC. The OPC report was adopted in March and, according to Coastal Commission staff, “provides new projections recommended for use in planning, permitting, investment and other decisions.” “The new findings on sea level rise presented in the [OPC] Rising Seas The California Coastal Commission updated its sea level rise policy guidance document, taking into account new scientific data and report, particularly projections published by the Ocean Protection Council.

The developer responded more parking spaces could be added, addressing the commission’s concern. Commissioners also hoped the 1HWY1 team would collaborate with the San Diego Symphony on the Bayside Performance Park space. Both the 1HWY1 development and Symphony’s waterfront concert space are along the same stretch of downtown embarcadero, yet being executed separately. Commission Chair Rafael Castellanos said the developer is taking a huge risk in bringing the embarcadero project online, yet there were
SAN DIEGO — A waterfront development project likely to break the $1 billion seal, in terms of cost, received some wind in its sails on Nov. 7, as local residents and commissioners with the Port of San Diego provided valuable input on 1HWY1’s Embarcadero proposal. The ambitious project would bring several new elements to San Diego’s downtown waterfront, such as new docks and boat slips, reactivated space for commercial fishermen, an aquarium and other visitor-serving attractions. Port district staff and the developer did not provide updates on financial aspects of the project. Commissioners, instead, provided input on 1HWY1’s proposal, which was updated since the last time all parties involved public met on the large-scale development project.

New ordinance for capital improvement projects at Catalina’s municipal harbor approved, but boaters were still reeling from July’s mooring fee increase. By Devon Warren-Kachelein
AVALON — Avalon City Council’s Dec. 4 meeting lasted a little more than four hours. Among the many topics discussed were a request to reinstate Avalon’s harbor commission and an introduction to an ordinance to increase wharfage fees and mooring rates for capital improvement projects. The outpouring of boaters, local fisherman and other business owners from Catalina to offer feedback about mooring fee increases that took place in July 2018, however, was likely unexpected.
Wharfage Fees & Mooring Rates Council members greenlighted a new ordinance proposing to increase cross channel wharfage fees to fund harbor-related capital improvements. Avalon City Manager Denise Radde, prior to public comments, stated
upfront it was not the intention to increase mooring fees for a third time in the fiscal year – though apparently there had been some discussion to do so. Council member Cinde MacGugan-Cassidy was adamantly against raising mooring fees. “I would not vote in support of an increase in mooring fees,” she said. City staff presented two options of Avalon’s wharfage fee increase for each passenger to be reviewed and possibly raised to $2.88 or $3 after the initial period.

Among the major projects on the Redondo Beach city staff’s agenda is to rebuild Sportfishing Pier, which has been closed since January.
Redondo Beach Waterfront: What’s Next for 2019? The South Bay coastal city, with a list of repairs and interruptions from lawsuits, will take on several notable harbor improvement projects in the coming year.
REDONDO BEACH — Chronicling the drama behind Redondo Beach’s waterfront project has been interesting to say the least. Residents who attended a California Coastal Commission meeting in October, for example, were being served lawsuits from representatives of CenterCal. There have been horrible accusations from both sides of the battle. Editor Parimal M. Rohit even called out two separate news stories covering the same topic concerning Redondo Beach, but strangely each story conveyed a completely differing outcome. In equally bizarre news concerning the recent lawsuit against Council member Nils Nehrenheim, Mayor Bill Brand, Brand’s campaign treasurer Linda Moffatt and Rescue Our Waterfront foundation, it was reported by several news outlets that Redondo Beach LLC, a subsidy of CenterCal, had paid the plaintiffs’ (Arnette Travis and Chris Voisey) legal fees. However, the judge ruled in favor of the defendants and also called Travis and Voisey shills – or accomplices – to CenterCal’s development that was not a fit for most residents. The aftermath of the “dead” waterfront development has indeed been bitter, but Redondo Beach still has several projects on tap for 2019. Here’s a breakdown of what could be expected in the coming year.
Sportfishing Pier In January 2018, the poor condition of Sportfishing Pier in King Harbor forced it to completely shut down due to safety issues. A vendor from T’s Toe Rings & Gifts reportedly had fallen through the floorboards, according to Fred Brunning, CEO of CenterCal.
Boat Launch Ramp The placement of the boat launch ramp was a major concern when the new waterfront development was being questions. In October, the Coastal Commission amended Redondo Beach’s Local Coastal Plan (LCP) to include the development of the boat launch ramp. Mole D was considered the “Cadillac,” – or premier – spot after the three public feedback meetings that took place earlier this last year.
Parking Structure In a past interview session, Redondo Beach Council member Laura Emdee, who was a supporter of the CenterCal project, stated there needed to be a hard reset and the crumbling parking structure should take priority. Parking regulations and traffic circulation were also added to the amendment of the LCP by the Coastal Commission. Typical of many seaside cities, parking space is a concern to locals.
Waterfront Plan’s Future Nehrenheim previously stated the project would likely undergo feedback sessions again to decide on the direction. The lawsuit’s outcome could see CenterCal’s part in the project officially over and done. The California Coastal Commission recently stood by the will of the people in voting on Measure C and agreed the project would include conditions amended into the LCP. There will be much to watch in 2019 as Redondo Beach staff and its citizens work to revitalize King Harbor.

Moffatt & Nichol, a reputable marine engineering firm, surveyed locals and is planning to design the new pier. The survey results, unsurprisingly, showed residents wanted sportsfishing amenities and features to be the center, followed by the pier building, floating dock and public outdoor features.

L.A. Waterfront project could force slight relocation of USS Iowa Port of Los Angeles contemplates shifting where former World War II battleship is docked.
SAN PEDRO — Plans to update the San Pedro waterfront could result in the slight relocation of a retired World War II era battleship, according to news reports. The battleship will still remain in San Pedro, but be docked elsewhere in the harbor to better accommodate other tourist and visitor-serving amenities, it was reported. Relocating USS Iowa, if it happens, elsewhere in the Port of Los Angeles would be the latest change in store with the nation’s busiest commercial harbor. The port district and city of Los Angeles have been working to revitalize the San Pedro waterfront for years now, with plans in play to bring new office spaces, shops, restaurants and other visitor-serving amenities to the harbor. News reports indicated a shift of where USS Iowa is docked would allow the Port of Los Angeles better accom-

modate increased cruise ship traffic. Several cruise lines operate out of the Port of Los Angeles. The idea of docking USS Iowa elsewhere within the Port of Los Angeles is reportedly being presented to local stakeholders at community meetings. Relocating USS Iowa – most likely near the planned San Pedro Public Market space – could reportedly cost as much
as $16.5 million. How the port district would fund the relocation has not yet been determined. The district’s Harbor Commission will ultimately decide whether the relocation is feasible and could be funded. Bringing USS Iowa closer to San Pedro Public Market and other attractions – such as AltaSea and Crafted
– would certainly fit in the Port of Los Angeles’ plans create a centralized visitor-serving venue on the harbor’s waterfront. Renderings of the L.A. Waterfront, which is what the revitalization project is called, were released in late March. The design team hailed the San Pedro Public Market – which would replace the harbor’s Ports O’ Call Village – as “a vibrant, family-friendly shopping, dining, entertainment and recreational themed destination that will bring jobs, renewed economic vitality, and business opportunities.” Of course the revitalization project has not been devoid of community pushback. A marina at the former Ports O’ Call Village was shut down and destroyed, as the land adjacent to where boaters once docked their boats will soon be home to the new San Pedro Public Market. A few restaurants in the area, such as Acapulco and Ports O’ Call Restaurant, have also been discontinued. Realization of the USS Iowa relocation and overall revitalization of the San Pedro waterfront is still years away, though updates on the project could be available as the calendar flips to 2019.
Restoration project would be essential to maintaining marine life in Long Beach. By Parimal M. Rohit LONG BEACH — Long Beach’s City Council has approved a two-year right of entry for Orange County Coastkeeper to enhance an existing Olympia Oyster bed in Alamitos Bay, Dec. 4. The council vote essentially allows O.C. Coastkeeper to resume a habitat project it worked on in collaboration with Cal State Fullerton between 2011 and 2016.
A portion of Alamitos Bay in Long Beach serves as home to the Olympia Oyster; it is Califoria’s only native oyster. The oyster has, according to Long Beach city staff, experienced significant population decline since the early 1900s. Olympia Oyster can be found anywhere between Sitka, Alaska and Baja California. City staff stated the O.C. Coastkeeper project is necessary to help sustain marine life in Long Beach waters. “A single adult oyster can filter 50 gallons of water a day consuming plankton, thereby allowing sunlight

The case for paper charts Story and photo by Capt. Nicole Sours Larson
For the first time, you can bareboat charter on Mexico’s Pacific Coast! important to have a backup navigation system. Nothing compares with the broad perspective and expansive view paper charts, spread out on a chart table or wide counter next to the wheel, can provide. On a paper chart you can see not only where you are but also the course you’ve plotted to your destination. “Electronic charts are a convenient tool. They don’t replace paper charts because you can’t see the larger context and they increase the risk of tunnel vision. Screens are hypnotic,” Kinner observed. “Look out the windows occasionally,” to see what surrounds you. For SoCal boaters Kinner recommends investing in a book of charts covering the region. For the price of a few individual charts, she explained, you can get charts from the San Francisco Bay area south to northern Baja. Similar chart books, updated about every four or five years, are available for other regions, including the Pacific Northwest. Most NOAA-generated U.S. single charts are now print-on-demand, with the latest corrections, such as relocated buoys and new construction or obstacles, incorporated at time of printing. Mexico, Canada and the United Kingdom also produce excellent, current charts. Seabreeze carries a
SAN DIEGO — Perhaps I’m a romantic – or traditionalist – but I’ve always loved paper maps and charts. I learned to read maps by age 4 or 5, since my late mother had no sense of direction. Once I discovered nautical charts they totally captivated me with the detailed information they provide for both waterways and shore. To me charts epitomize the adventure and mysteries of the sea. With the arrival of navigational electronics – including chart plotters, GPSes, radars, AIS and smartphone navigation apps – paper charts are on their way out, some might think. Yet most responsible mariners and professional skippers, including operators of commercial ships, fishing vessels and superyachts, always carry up-to-date paper charts. But – why? Aren’t electronic charts better, more up-to-date? Actually, no, according to Capt. Ann Kinner, owner of Seabreeze Nautical Books and Charts, one of the last surviving nautical chart shops in the country. She explained that charts for U.S. waters on most chart plotters are based on older, non-copyrighted U.S. Government-produced charts that haven’t been updated and may not synch with GPS readings, as recently updated government-produced paper charts do. For safe navigation, with electronic charts you need a large, high-resolution display and, unless you zoom in properly, you don’t get the detail needed to show obstructions, such as hidden underwater rocks, Capt. Ann Kinner, owner of Seabreeze Nautical Books and Charts in San Diego, explains key features in a chart of Mexican waters produced by the she explained.

Huntington Harbour, just south of Seal Beach, forged a new harbor commission and offers a unique destination for boaters. By Devon Warren-Kachelein
HUNTINGTON HARBOUR — If there was a competition for least covered harbors in Southern California by The Log, Huntington Harbour might win. Of course, this is not meant to be an offensive remark as this reporter grew up and still resides in nearby Huntington Beach, and the area certainly has a storied history of embracing surfing, tiki and old-school beach culture. Huntington Harbour, nestled in between Huntington Beach (locals will tell you they are not quite the same, though why is somewhat of a mystery) and Seal Beach, has its own flavor that makes it a unique destination to visit.
Huntington Harbour’s History A relatively new harbor, construction began in 1963 and is made up of five manmade islands. One of the highlights of the area is the Bolsa Chica Wetlands just south, an ecological reserve that has somehow managed to remain relatively undeveloped and is home to some exquisite and protected wildlife. Unfortunately, the site where Huntington Harbour now stands was Sunset Bay Estuary, a historic wetlands reserve that was destroyed to develop homes. The area is marked by waterways that are convenient to boaters and are a 15-minute-trip to the open waters of the Pacific Ocean.
Yacht Club & Boating Interests Huntington Harbour Yacht Club
(HHYC) is the resident association for yachters. According to huntingtonharbourmarina.com, the club has approximately 300 members and was first established in 1965. During the summer months, they are known to hold sailing lessons for disadvantaged youth. This year’s Christmas parade at Huntington Harbour is also one of the wackier boat themes. While most harbors tend to go down the traditional route when it comes to themes, Huntington Harbour’s parade will see nautical culture meet the astro-nautical in “A Space Odyssey.” Several months ago, The Log covered a story about Seaboarder, the yacht that was rediscovered by the original owner’s grandson, Jim Kroeger, in Huntington Harbour’s marina. There is certainly an interest in wooden boats as the rear commodore of Classic Yacht Association, Janet Beggs, once told The Log that an old wooden boat in sorry condition was purchased by a fellow member who happened to not have a wooden boat of his own. The unusual part? The vessel went for a whopping $1. However, Beggs told the cautionary tale that the boat would need hefty repairs and other expenses. With how car enthusiasts enjoy their woody station wagons in Huntington Beach, it would make sense that the boating community would enjoy classic wooden boats as well.
Huntington Harbour Commission Agencies that offer feedback on harbor activities, most commonly known as harbor commissions, have grown into important authorities on all-things seaside related. On Nov. 19, Huntington Beach City Council voted unanimously to create a harbor commission to oversee, plan and maintain harbor-related activities at a local level.
With so many ocean-related agendas on the West Coast to worry about, such as sea level rise and dredging, harbor commissions play a vital role. Sen. Janet Nguyen proposed Senate Bill 1299 (SB 1299) on Feb. 16, kickstarting the Huntington Harbour is encompassed by five manmade islands.

Regional Water Quality Board hopes to determine whether TMDL plan is required. By Parimal M. Rohit
VENTURA — A portion of Ventura Harbor could undergo water quality testing to determine whether a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) plan is necessary to control coliform bacteria in the upper reaches of the local port district. The Ventura Port District’s Board of Port Commissioners was set to vote, Dec. 12, on a proposal share costs on a water quality monitoring and reporting program. Monitoring and reporting would take place in the Ventura Keys section of Ventura Harbor. The keys area had been on a list of impaired waterbodies since 1996, according to
Ventura Port District staff, but the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board wants to “conduct additional monitoring to help determine if a bacteria Total Maximum Daily Load ... should be developed.” Ventura Port District staff stated Will the Ventura Harbor Keys area be subject to a TMDL restriction? the monitoring and Ventura’s city and port officials will conduct a study to find out whether reporting program certain bacterial levels in the Keys area is too high. would cost up to $120,000, with the harbor agency on the hook for as much Water quality would be monitored as $60,000.

City of Ventura and Harbor Keys look to monitor water quality UCLA to conduct a study of bacterial contamination in the Ventura Keys area in 2008. “No surface water quality monitoring in Ventura Harbor Keys has taken place since April 2009,” according to port district staff. At least two Southern California waterways are already subject to TMDL programs, directly affecting boaters. Those waterways are Shelter Island Basin in San Diego and Marina del Rey. There has also an ongoing effort to establish a TMDL program for Newport Beach Harbor. The TMDL programs at each of these three harbors focused on reducing copper pollution in local waters. Water with coliform bacteria is generally not harmful, but at certain levels of contamination could result in E. coli. Ventura Keys features about 300 waterfront homes, many of them with boat docks attached.

Ventura Harbor, Channel Islands Harbor and Port of Hueneme will all receive nearly $15 million of federal funding for dredging project.
Channel Islands and Ventura harbors receive $14.8 million for dredging Port of Hueneme also receives U.S. Army Corps of Engineers funding for routine maintenance project. By Catherine French
VENTURA COUNTY — U.S. Congresswoman Julia Brownley, D-Thousand Oaks, recently announced Ventura County has received funding for the dredging of both the county’s harbors and the Port of Hueneme. In her statement, she stated: “I am pleased to announce this new funding for important infrastructure investments that will help keep our port and harbors open for business, which is good for Ventura County residents and businesses alike.” Brownley also noted Channel Islands and Ventura harbors, as well as the port, play a critical role in driving the local economy and fuel job growth in Ventura County. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ fiscal year 2019 work plan includes dredging at Channel Islands Harbor at a cost of $6.29 million; $8.37 million set for Ventura Harbor. About 30 years ago, Congress established the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund (HMTF) paid for by a user fee on the value of cargo shipped. The intent of the HMTF is to guarantee that no U.S. port (or harbor) would suffer from a lack of dredging and those who utilize the port pay for that maintenance. Additionally, the 2019 work plan provides $140,000 for the Port of Hueneme. These funds were awarded pursuant to donor port legislation, the enactment of which was spearheaded by Brownley in 2016. Donor ports, as they are called, contribute far more to the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund
than they receive back. This year the port received an additional allocation of funds due to Brownley’s legislation enacted as part of the Water Resources Development Act of 2016 ensured the Port of Hueneme receives equitable treatment as a donor port. Annually, sand traps in each harbor receive hundreds of thousands of cubic yards of sand as they shift down the coast and get re-deposited on the down coast beaches. Without dredging, harbor and port entrances can become unsafe for vessel navigation and the beaches become denuded of sand. This is why congressional funding for the dredging effort is so critical. “Thank you to our local leaders for working together once again to bring this important support to our community,” Brownley said. Dredging is set to begin in January 2019. Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard has more than 400 slips for recreational boats. Ventura Harbor, meanwhile, is home to four marinas for boaters: Ventura Harbor Marina, Ventura Harbor Marina Village, Ventura Isle Marina and Ventura West Marina. The county’s northernmost harbor or port suffered from a serious case of shoaling in 2016, limiting navigational operations at Ventura Harbor’s entrance. “More than 240,000 cubic meters of sand filled the front of the harbor entrance during the final two weeks of January [2016], increasing sand sediment beneath the water’s surface to just shy of 1 million cubic meters and making it difficult for recreational boats and commercial vessels to access the Pacific Ocean or local marinas,” The Log wrote in an article about the shoaling event.

Catalina Connection New research about sinking Catalina Island could offer insight on sea level rise, earthquakes and more CATALINA ISLAND — Many cities along the West Coast have entered into the debate about sea level rise including some very grim depictions of what the coastline could look like as little as 50 years from now. Catalina Island, of course, has been part of this conversation, according to some sources, for 100 years or more. However, in a new study released by Stanford University, it was determined that unlike many of Southern California’s islands, Catalina Island is in fact sinking. New research released in November, in addition to confirmation the island is sinking about two millimeters – or the height of a nickel – each decade, also claimed the island is tilting slightly. The Los Angeles Times reported in 2015 scientists were afraid if Catalina Island continues sinking this could set off a tsunami. Stanford’s research further determines the tilting island’s underwater cliffs become steeper and steeper due to this natural process, resulting in

the impact of accelerating sea level rise. While the new research may sound dire, understanding how the earth’s terrace has changed along the coastline can unveil information about communities outside of Southern California. In an article reported by Stanford News
in late November, it stated that studying these submerged landslides could even offer information about Mars and whether or not it had the presence of water or ice. As scientists continue to discover more about the island’s movement, this could help better predict sea levels and possibly lead to a mathematical model of when and where the earth’s crust is rising or sinking. The new research could also give Southern Californians a better understanding or teutonic plates and earthquake fault lines. Chris Castillo, a graduate student in Stanford’s School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences and lead author of the paper, told Stanford News, “If Catalina were to change direction and start going up that would imply a significant reorganization of the distribution of tectonic stress in Southern California.” Castillo also added, “We’re living in a time when the shoreline is changing on us again,” beckoning to how the Earth’s surface has shifted from ancient times.

Boaters participating in this year’s Boxing Day Pursuit Race at Alamitos Bay Yacht Club will certainly have a few chuckles or laughs when reading the tongue-in-cheek Notice of Race. The Boxing Day Pursuit Race will be held Dec. 29 in Long Beach.
Boxing Day Pursuit Race comes to Long Beach Alamitos Bay Yacht Club publishes tongue-in-cheek Notice of Race. By Parimal M. Rohit LONG BEACH — Alamitos Bay Yacht Club will end the 2018 sailing calendar on a comedic note, as its Notice of Race for the Boxing Day Pursuit Race will certainly draw a fair share of laughs and chuckles The regatta itself will take place on Dec. 29 at Alamitos Bay. Yet the Notice of Race is filled with tongue-in-cheek instructions and statements. “All boats, especially those that float, with or without a Portsmouth yardstick,” are eligible to participate in the regatta, according to the Notice of Race. “For boats not having a Portsmouth yardstick one will be invented.” Entries must be made online or in person, not via mail, fax, smoke signals or semaphore, the Notice of Race continued. Changes to sailing instructions, according to the notice, “will be arbitrary, unpremeditated and incomprehensible to all concerned. “They will probably not be divulged
to competitors,” the Notice of Race continued about the changes to sailing instructions. Here are a few more gems: • Racing Areas: “Where possible, these will be on the water.” • Official Boats: “Whatever can be made to float and work on the day.” • Scoring: “The Race Officer will award or deduct points based on
the degree of cooperation shown, number of silly questions directed at him, general congeniality of the skipper and number of crew persuaded to participate, and gifts received. Boats which get this combination wrong will not win any prizes.” • Trophies/Prizes: “If you win you will be famous, if that is not enough a very large insignificant
well used trophy will be presented to the winner. The Boxing Day Sampson Post.” • Disclaimer of Liability: “The Race Office shall not be blamed for anything.” • Safety: “ABYC recommends that all competitors wear personal floatation devises, previously known as lifejackets until some attorney had them renamed.”

Malta’s challenge for America’s Cup accepted LOG NEWS SERVICE — The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron has confirmed it has accepted the Royal Malta Yacht Club challenge for the 36th America’s Cup – one of the eight challenges it had received by the Nov. 30 late entry deadline. Malta Altus Challenge’s team principal is Pasquale Cataldi, an Italian businessman based in Malta and the founder and CEO of Altus, a multinational real state and development company. The sailing team, which will include Malta nationals and international sailors as allowed under the cup’s protocol, will be announced in early 2019. As a late entry and with a restricted budget compared to the other challengers, Malta Altus Challenge is planning on a one-boat campaign and will look to Emirates Team New Zealand for inspiration, Cataldi said in a statement. With a population of approximately 460,000 and a landmass of just 122 square miles Malta has become the smallest country to challenge for the America’s Cup. The previous smallest challenger was New Zealand. The Malta Altus Challenge joins Challenger of Record Luna Rossa of Italy, the New York Yacht Club’s American Magic and INEOS Team UK in the group that will contend for the Prada Cup and the right to face Emirates Team New Zealand in the America’s Cup match.

Team France confirms it won’t be contesting.
Team France, meanwhile, has confirmed it won’t be contesting the America’s Cup in Auckland in 2021 because it has been unable to raise the funding to be competitive after losing its primary sponsor Groupama. Franck Cammas’ French syndicate was the first to be eliminated at the 35th America’s Cup in Bermuda and he said that he did not want to be in that position again. The next America’s Cup will be contested in high-performance, foiling 75-foot monohulls after the previous two editions were sailed in foiling catamarans. A report from The Associated Press was used in this story.
Royal Malta Yacht Club’s challenge of the 36th America’s Cup was accepted. Malta, the smallest nation to compete in the international sailing competition, is one of eight countries participating during the 2021 America’s Cup.

Report: Climate changes place marine fisheries at higher risk By Parimal M. Rohit
NATIONWIDE — The diverse waters of the United States, which supports jobs, recreation, sustenance and other benefits, is suffering from warming conditions, acidification and deoxygenation. These were the broad findings of the Fourth National Climate Assessment, which was released in late November. Increasing temperatures around the world is resulting in the loss of habitats and disrupts ecosystems, the report continued. The effects of climate-driven changes are directly affecting the growth, survival and reproductive success of fisheries species around the world, according to the National Oceanic and Administration Association (NOAA) report. “Warming water temperatures in the Gulf of Maine exacerbated overfishing of Gulf of Maine cod, and the subsequent low quotas have resulted
in socioeconomic stress in New England,” a portion of the National Climate Assessment pointed out. “Reductions in the abundance of Pacific cod associated with the recent heat wave in the Gulf Climate change is disrupting ocean ecosystem and altering habitats, according of Alaska led to an inability of the to the Fourth National Climate Assessment.

SAN PEDRO — Anglers aboard Fortune had limits of December bluefin during a recent fishing expedition out of 22nd Street Landing in San Pedro. The 1.5-day trip returning to San Pedro on Dec. 5 had 18 anglers catch 36 bluefin. Three previous trips aboard Fortune reported counts of 40, 20 and 10 bluefin tuna. Yellowfin catches were also reported on three trips ahead of the Thanksgiving weekend. Will the tuna bite continue into the 2019 season despite the recent rains?
management decisions, from seasonal and spatial closures to annual quota setting, allocations, and fish stock rebuilding plans,” the report continued. “Accounting for these factors is the cornerstone of climate-ready fishery management. Modeling studies show that climate-ready, ecosystem-based fisheries management can help reduce the impacts of some anticipated changes and increase resilience under changing conditions. There is now a national strategy for integrating climate information into fishery decision-making.” Addressing the relationship between climate change and fishery management, the report ultimately stated, is essential to maintaining the cultural, economic and recreational opportunities afforded by ocean ecosystems. “There has been progress in developing management strategies and technological improvements that can improve resilience in the face of long-term changes and abrupt events. However, many impacts, including losses of unique coral reef and sea ice ecosystems, can only be avoided by reducing carbon dioxide emissions,” the report’s section on ocean and marine resources concluded.
STATEWIDE — The Coastal Conservation Association of California (CCA-CAL) has released its 2019 Sportfishing Tide Calendar. Anglers can find the calendar at landings, tackle stores and Turner’s Outdoorsman locations. Proceeds from calendar sales support CCA-CAL’s various projects. The calendar features photos, tide charts and monthly drawings for prizes. Each calendar is marked with a special entry number. An entry number is selected on the third Saturday of each month and revealed on the “Let’s Talk Hook Up” radio show, which airs
on 1090 AM. The winner, each month, will be awarded a prize from one the calendar’s sponsors (AFTCO, Accurate, Costa, Dana Wharf Sportfishing, The Fred Hall Shows, HookUp Baits, Promar and Sumo Tackle, among others). CCA-CAL was created in 2015 to bring anglers and outdoor enthusiasts together to conserve and enhance marine resources and coastal environments. The organization specifically advocates for recreational saltwater fishers, promotes the building of artificial reefs, creates finfish hatchers, initiates scientific studies and expands youth fishing programs.

San Diego Report
Southern California anglers cling on to remainder of 2018 offshore fishing season By Bob Vanian SAN DIEGO — It is the middle of December and the 2018 Southern California offshore fishing is still in play. The early part of December has seen bluefin, yellowfin, skipjack, yellowtail and striped marlin remain as possible bites. Southern California experienced three northern storms during the past few weeks, which knocked down these bites. There are still some of these warm water offshore fish to be found in our local waters, however. The last weather system vacated Southern California just ahead of Dec. 8 and 9. Once the weather system moved on the weather conditions were nice enough that some boats were able to go offshore and do some looking around. Bluefin had been providing most of the offshore action for boats fishing to the south-southeast of the Cortes Bank prior to the storm and after the storm boats returned to try the same area. The first boat I know to go back to the bluefin grounds was Pacific Queen out of Fisherman’s Landing; anglers caught three bluefin on a Dec. 7 trip. There were several sportboats fishing the area to the east-southeast of the Cortes Bank on Dec. 8 and the bluefin fishing was found to be slow that day. I do not know of any bluefin being caught. With the slowing of the bluefin bite to the east-southeast of the Cortes Bank boats spread out and looked at some other areas such as the Mushroom Bank, Worm Bank and 60 Mile Bank. Bluefin action was absent, but there were some kelp paddie yellowtail biting along with a few skipjack. Condor out of Fisherman’s Landing had
16 anglers on a 1.5-day trip, Dec. 8; they caught 26 yellowtails and two skipjack. Point Loma Sportfishing had New Lo-An out fishing a 1.5-day trip with 30 anglers catching 46 yellowtails. The water temperature remains 64 to 65 degrees, which is warm enough to hold bluefin. I am wondering if some bluefin will begin to show around the 60 Mile Bank like they did around this time in 2017? Most of the bluefin being caught during the past couple of weeks have been in the 20- to 40-pound range and originated from stopping on sonar marks. Sardines have been the best bait for the bluefin with Flat Fall jigs also producing some action. Occasionally a boat brings some live squid to the bluefin grounds and using live squid for bait has also produced some action. There are also still a few tuna around in more local offshore waters within 25 miles or so of the coast. There have also been occasional bluefin sightings in the area of the 9 Mile Bank, 302 Spot, 224 Spot and 182 Spot. On Nov. 9 there were a couple of private boaters out looking for tuna at the 9 Mile Bank, 302 Spot, 224 Spot and 182 Spot. One skipper reported getting some light meter marks of tuna he found with a school of porpoise. He was confident he was metering tuna but was not able to get them to bite. The other skipper reported finding a kelp paddie producing a few yellowtails but I do not believe he found any tuna activity. There are still a few tuna around in offshore waters within 25 miles of the coast but to catch one, it sounds like you really have to be fortunate to be at the right spot at the right time. Striped marlin have been holding in
tight to the East End of Catalina in recent weeks and there were a few boats out fishing on Dec. 8 and 9. The water temperature was running between 63.5 and 64 degrees and a few marlins were still in the area. There were a couple of feeders seen while fishing the waters off the East End Light and off Church Rock but I do not know of anyone getting a bite over the weekend. Most of the marlin action over the past few weeks has been found while fishing in the 40 to 100 fathom depths in an area ranging from the Rock Quarry over to Church Rock. Much of the action has originated on the troll with occasional action also found from baiting sleepers, feeders and tailers. There were a few boats out fishing around Los Coronado Islands on Dec. 8 and 9. They found some bonito and rockfish biting but there was no yellowtail action reported. There were bonito biting at the Middle Grounds, around North Island and at the South Kelp Ridge with the Middle Grounds being the best. Try for rockfish at the South Kelp Ridge below South Island as well as at the hard bottom to the north and northwest of North Island. The bonito have been mostly nice sized 4- to 8-pound fish, biting well on sardines and small chrome jigs. The fishing along the San Diego area coast has seen most boats transitioning into a rockfish mode, but there have also been some bass biting along with a chance at finding some bonito action or scratching out a halibut. The yellowtail fishing has been slow. Hard bottom and structure areas have been best for the bass and rockfish and the best chance at finding some bonito action has been while
fishing outside of the upper end of La Jolla or around the Whistler Buoy off Point Loma. The 2018 offshore fishing season is still alive but the offshore fishing has been on the decline since the recent series of storms. Even though their numbers appear to be fading, there are still some tuna, yellowtail and marlin in the picture and that is remarkably good news to be able to report seeing how we are in the middle of December! Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!
