City Council could tackle difficult issue in early 2018. By Devon Warren
NEWPORT BEACH — A discussion on passenger charter vessels planned for Dec. 12 was put off until early 2018, Newport Beach city staff decided. The discussion was placed on the City Council’s agenda at the request of a council member but wasn’t vetted out on the dais. It was Newport Beach City Council’s last meeting of 2017, meaning passenger charters won’t be on the docket again until some point in 2018. No timetable was set for when the issue would be discussed again but City Manager Dave Kiff said passenger charters could be on the agenda again soon. “It simply was a question asked to all seven council members to see if they want the issue brought back later,” Newport Beach City Manager Dave Kiff stated. “It may be brought back sometime in early 2018.” The City Council’s agenda read, “Consideration of a review and update of regulations on passenger charter vessels in Newport Harbor, to address the size of vessels, parking, amplified noise, water quality and the City’s enforcement practices.” Council member Diane Dixon, who
served as mayor from 2015 to 2016 and has pushed for harbor improvement in the past, suggested the item for discussion. Complicated issues regarding what constitutes legal and illegal uses of a passenger charter vessel has been a major source of interest and concern for boaters. Harbor Commissions from many cities on coastal California have racked their brains to find the most streamlined way to address charter operations including, in the case of Marina del Rey Harbor, possibly designating a dock for such activities. Many officials from ports Newport Beach’s City Council will revisit the future of passenger charter operations in the Central Orange County harbor at some point in early of 2018.

NMMA: Federal tax reform provides “wins” for marine industry Legislation does not add new luxury taxes for boats and preserves second home interest deductions.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Tax reform might not be the most glamorous of topics on Capitol Hill but the drama surrounding the passage and signing of a federal levy package certainly caused quite a stir around the nation a few days before Christmas. Pres. Donald J. Trump signed the approved tax reform bill on Dec. 22, the first major legislative win of the current White House administration. The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) hailed the tax reform package as a Christmas present for boaters and boating businesses. NMMA staff posted and shared an analysis on its website of the tax reform bill, outlining nine positive takeaways of the Trump and GOP initiative. “While no legislation of this magnitude is ever perfect, the final package includes a number of provisions that can be considered ‘wins’ for marine manufacturers and the recreational boating industry,” NMMA stated in its analysis. The NMMA analysis stated the signed tax reform package preserves

Pres. Donald J. Trump’s signature of a massive tax overhaul bill into law in late December was met with applause from the boating industry. The NMMA, for example, hailed the tax reform bill as a win for maritime interests. One of the victories: preservation of federal second home mortgage interest deductions.
second home interest deductions for boats and research and development credits. Also included in the bill, according to NMMA: lower corporate, individual and pass-through rates; an allowance for immediate expensing; changes to estate taxes; and, doubling of the standard deduction. A new luxury tax on boat sales was apparently averted in the final/ approved version of the reform package, according to NMMA. “NMMA lobbied for parity with regard to the second home interest deduction for boats,” the analysis, published Dec. 21, stated. “We didn’t want boats to be unfairly singled out and
we were successful in this regard. The second home interest deduction will remain without changes to boat eligibility. However, the tax reform package does lower the mortgage interest cap from $1 million to $750,000.” Of course the tax reform bill, a $1.5 trillion rewrite of federal taxation codes, applies to all taxpaying Americans. Republicans mostly hailed the tax code update as a victory for the middle class, whereas opposition Democrats largely viewed the federal legislative act as benefiting business interests and the upper echelons of income-earners. Trump, during his Dec. 22 bill signing, stated the federal tax reform bill

would result in “$3.2 trillion in tax cuts for American families.” “The typical family of four earning $75,000 will see an income tax cut of more than $2,000 — many much higher than that — slashing their tax bill in half. And they’re going to start to see that,” Trump stated. “Because we’re signing today, they’re going to start to see that in February. The numbers will speak.” H.R. 1, the formal label attached to “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” bill, would double the standard tax deduction for both individuals and joint filers, according to the president. Trump added the child tax credit would also be doubled. Mr. President also claimed the tax bill reduces the corporate tax rate from 35 to 21 percent and allows businesses to deduct 100 percent costs associated with capital investments. Boaters dodged one bullet when the final version of H.R. 1 did not include the elimination of federal second home mortgage deductions. California’s boaters hope a similar, state level proposal in Sacramento – likely to be considered in January 2018 – won’t be signed into law. An article posted on DiscoverBoating.com outlined a few tax breaks available for boaters, such as second home mortgage interest deductions, entertaining clients and the donation of vessels to charity.

UNITED KINGDOM — Until recent days, human beings were thought to be one of the largest groups of contributors to pollutants in the marine life by dumping trash, not utilizing pumpout stations, and other boating- and non-boatingrelated activities. While this may be mostly true, it seems a small shrimp inhabiting the coastal areas of Northern and Western Europe, an amphipod called Orchestia gammerellus, is presenting a potential hazard to the ocean’s ecosystem by turning plastic materials into microplastics, which have potentially deadly effects on other marine organisms. Plastics, such as remnants from biodegradable and non-biodegradable grocery bags, make up one of these tiny shrimps’ favorite food groups. A study conducted by University of Plymouth in the United Kingdom found that the shrimp were breaking down the

Tiny shrimp responsible for spreading pollution in marine ecosystem By Devon Warren plastics into microplastics that spread thousands of malignant little shards across the marine layer, in some cases causing lethal effects on marine life. Prof. Richard Thompson, one of the collaborators on the study of Orchestia gammerellus and a leader of the marine biology team that coined the term “microplastics” in 2004, stated, “these fragments can measure a fraction of a millimeter in length, and be less than the width of a human hair.” Litter, especially from plastics, is a problem the state of California has been trying to remedy for some time with bans on plastic bags and other
initiatives to clean up the coastline. Several large patches of marine debris, such as “the Great Pacific Garbage Patch” or “Pacific Trash Vortex,” was first described in a paper published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 1988. Among some of the solutions to this problem are reducing plastic use and participating in beach clean-up days to make sure our waterfronts stay safe for wildlife and humans alike. “Reducing any unnecessary use of plastic is important, for example the ban on single-use plastic. Also, it is essential to

Australian sub that disappeared over 100 years ago is found SYDNEY (AP) — One of Australia’s oldest naval mysteries has been solved after the discovery of the wreck of the country’s first submarine more than 103 years after its disappearance in World War I. The AE1 vanished off the New Guinean island of New Britain on September 14, 1914; the 35 crewmembers hailed from Australia, New Zealand and Britain.

It was the first Allied submarine loss of the war and the first wartime loss for the Royal Australian Navy, yet the exact reason for its sinking remains unclear. No fewer than 12 fruitless hunts for the sub had been carried out over the past several decades, but Australian Defense Minister Marise Payne said Thursday it was located more than 300 meters (984 feet) below the surface in a search using a Dutch-owned survey vessel that started only last week.

an Australian ship at 2:30 p.m. the day it disappeared. Mystified villagers on a nearby island at the time spoke of seeing a ``monster’’ or ``devil fish’’ that appeared and quickly disappeared into the water. It has always been assumed the AE1 was not a victim of enemy action, since the only German vessel nearby at the time was a small survey ship. Because no wreckage, oil or bodies were found, it was also believed the AE1 sank intact, most likely after striking a reef that punched a hole in the pressure hull. Whether or not this is what happened is still to be publicly verified. - Trevor Marshallsea, Associated Press

is exactly what has happened and will happen. To say it was scrapped due to findings of substantial issue is incorrect. The city is simply exploring other Moles concurrently and may pursue concurrent applications for a boat ramp based on feedback. - “Several weeks ago, Redondo Beach officially cut ties with CenterCal.” As part of legal proceedings the city has sent Center Cal a letter terminating the ALPIF due to breaches in the contract language. This is a legal matter at this time and could be potentially costly. - The proposed waterfront project was not a super-structure. That leads one to believe there would have been one massive building. That was not the case. The “Five Fatal Flaws” mentioned were assumptions used by opponents of the project. It almost reads as if they were part of a factual study.

Making Waves: Who Speaks for Boaters on the Dais? Are Newport Beach and Redondo Beach models for boating involvement in political process? By Parimal M. Rohit SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — The year that was 2017 proved somewhat significant for boaters, particularly in the cities of Newport Beach and Redondo Beach. A leading boating industry tycoon was elevated to mayor in Newport Beach during the City Council’s final meeting of 2017 – almost perfectly book-ending the swearing-in of another lifelong boater as council member about 12 months earlier. Several miles up the 405, meanwhile, a slow-growth activist who positioned himself as a boating advocate won a hotly contested seat on the Redondo Beach City Council. Will these (and other similar) policymakers prove to be an asset to Southern California’s recreational boaters in 2018 and beyond? A boater doubling as policymaker isn’t a new phenomenon. Louis Nowell, for example, served on the Los Angeles City Council in the 1970s and sailed from Honolulu to Los Angeles aboard his
schooner in 1972. Kevin Faulconer, currently serving as San Diego’s mayor, reportedly listed boating as one of his hobbies. Ventura Port District Commissioner Brian Brennan regularly sets sail out of the local harbor; he also served as Ventura’s mayor between 2003 and 2005. Boaters also serve on a variety of harborthemed advisory boards and quasi-judicial agencies, such as the Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners, Newport Beach Harbor Commission, Long Beach Marine Advisory Commission and Santa Barbara Harbor Commission. Having Marshall “Duffy” Duffield and Brad Avery on the Newport Beach City Council – as well as Nils Nehrenheim on the dais in Redondo Beach – isn’t, accordingly, the trailblazing or pioneering event. The value of Duffield as Newport Beach mayor and Avery and Nehrenheim as active council members, however, is to beg the question of whether boaters have a voice at the highest levels of the policy making process. Newport Beach’s City Council, for example, most certainly dictates and influences what See STANDING WATCH page 10
FAST FACTS: S.S. Rex - Santa Monica Bay’s Gambling Ship SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — Anyone in Southern California who has an itch to play cards, roll the dice, place a bet on a sporting event or partake in any other form of organized gambling can drive up the 15 or catch a flight to Las Vegas. There was a time, however, when card players and gamblers would board a boat or water taxi and navigate a few miles west to S.S. Rex. Anthony Cornero, who was nicknamed “The Admiral,” operated S.S. Rex as a gambling ship just off the Southern California coast in the 1930s. “All the thrills of Rivera, Biarritz, Monte Carlo and Cannes ‘surpassed’” was the tagline used in S.S. Rex’s newspaper advertisements. Patrons would board a craft at Santa Monica Pier and cruise over to S.S. Rex. Water taxi service, offered at 25 cents per round trip ride, was offered 24 hours per day. The gambling ship
would anchor just beyond the 3-mile limit. Cornero later moved S.S. Rex several miles south to Redondo Beach, in a reported attempt to dodge authorities from shutting down his operation. The raids still came, however, eventually forcing Cornero to relocate S.S. Rex beyond the 12-mile limit in the Catalina Channel. Business dropped off, however, forcing Cornero to bring his gambling ship back to the Santa Monica area. Cornero’s return proved to be a bad gamble, however, as California Attorney General Earl Warren – instead of the Los Angeles County District Attorney in previous instances – led the long arm of the law across Santa Monica Bay and into Cornero’s operations. Southern California’s residents and visitors, obviously, haven’t experienced formalized offshore gambling vessels in local waters since.

A permit allowing Leeward Bay Marina to continue its use of waterfront space at the Port of Los Angeles was approved. The marina’s use permit will run through Oct. 31, 2025.
Port of Los Angeles approves permit for Leeward Bay Marina’s continued use What Happened: The Port of Los Angeles’s Board of Harbor Commissioners approved a permit with Leeward Bay Marina, allowing the waterfront venue to continue its use of berth space in Wilmington. The approved permit was retroactively put into effect, running from Nov. 1, 2015 to Oct. 31, 2025. Leeward Bay Marina, through the permit, is granted permission to construction, operation and maintenance activity of its waterfront space, which is primarily used for berthing of recreational vessels. The marina’s annual rent payments to the Port of Los Angeles will be $77,983, according to port staff – less than the $111,192 annual rent payments originally projected. Leeward Bay Marina has been a Port of Los Angeles tenant since 1982.

CenterCal filed a lawsuit against Redondo Beach shortly after the election, claiming the ballot initiative aiming to restrict large-scale developments within the coastal city should not retroactively apply to an already approved project. Both parties were reportedly in court in mid-December, but the judge held off on making a decision. What’s On Tap: The court’s decision will likely be held up until the California Coastal Commission weighs in on whether it would certify Measure C, according to news reports.

However, it also impacts everyone who owns chainsaws, generators, lawnmowers and the list goes on. The ethanol damages the fuel lines and all the plastics in the fuel system. If you look at the warranties on these items, the fuel system isn’t covered. Why? Because they know that even if you run the engine, the ethanol has already coated the fuel system equipment and will continue to eat away at the plastics and O-rings. I know this to be a fact, for it just happened to me this past spring. I bought a brush-cutter brand new and in less than three months I had to have a new primer ball replaced and was charged for it as the manufacturer doesn’t cover fuel systems anymore because of ethanol.

policies govern the local harbor. In 2018 the council is likely to vote on whether a second public anchorage – offered for free at the harbor’s Turning Basin – will become a permanent seasonal feature. Avery had pushed for the anchorage while serving on the city’s Harbor Commission. Both he and Duffield (also a former Harbor Commission member) could be instrumental in directing and influencing pro-boater policies – such as the establishment of a second permanent anchorage in Newport Beach. Nehrenheim, meanwhile, actively advocated against CenterCal Properties’ The Waterfront project in Redondo Beach. One of the sticking points of the development: where to place the planned boat launch ramp. The slow-growth activist and boater won his City Council seat in a runoff election, several weeks after Redondo Beach voters approved the anti-CenterCal ballot initiative – Measure C – he supported. The Port of San Diego’s official policymaking agency is the district’s Board of Port Commissioners – not the San Diego City Council. Nothing prevents Faulconer, however, from attending board meetings and going to bat for recreational boating matters, whenever relevant. Policymakers, obviously, have multiple – sometimes overlapping, sometimes distinct – constituents and issues to simultaneously address. Yet there is no reason for recreational boating issues

to be ignored – especially when boaters, for better or worse, have voices such as Duffield, Avery and Nehrenheim on local city councils. His council colleagues, for example, viewed Duffield, the inventor of Duffy electric boats, as an authority on Newport Beach Harbor matters, sometimes turning to him to provide guidance on critical questions. Duffield spent most of 2017 as Newport Beach’s mayor pro tem and City Council’s liaison to the Harbor Commission. Avery, meanwhile, was elected to the council in 2016 after serving on the Newport Beach Harbor Commission and as director of Orange Coast College’s School of Sailing and Seamanship. Transparency and sustainable urban growth were Nehrenheim’s campaign promises during the spring 2017 election cycle. His push to challenge what he and his supporters called a supersized mall development on the King Harbor waterfront helped catapult Nehrenheim to the dais in Redondo Beach. Will his tenure prove fruitful for King Harbor boaters? It’s up to the local boating community to hold him accountable, of course. The same could be said of elected or appointed policymakers up and down the region’s coast, where recreational boaters sit on a variety of boards, committees, councils and districts. Every new year brings about another set of topics and issues for policymakers to debate and flesh out – the only way to ensure those policies bend in the favor of recreational boaters is to actively interact with local and regional leaders.
LOG News Service Tips to avoid buying a storm damaged boat ALEXANDRIA, Va. (LOG News Service) — The Boat Owners Association of the United States (BoatUS) cautions used boat buyers that boats affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma are beginning to hit the market. While many of the more than 63,000 boats damaged as a result of 2017 hurricanes will be repaired and have more years of life on the water, some will be patched up just enough to sell, leaving the new owner with what could be an unusable boat, they said. BoatUS offers eight tips to help spot a boat that might have been badly damaged in a storm: 1. Trace the history. Only a few states brand salvaged boats – Florida and Texas do not – and some states don’t require titles for boats. Anyone wishing to obscure a boat’s history need only cross state lines to avoid detection, which can be a tipoff. Look for recent gaps in the boat’s ownership, which may mean that it was at an auction or in a repair yard for a long time,

2. Look for recent hull repairs. Especially on older boats, matching gelcoat is very difficult. Mismatched colors around a repaired area are often a giveaway and may signal nothing more than filler under the gelcoat, rather than a proper fiberglass repair, 3. Look for new repairs or sealant at the hull-to-deck joint. Boats that bang against a dock during a storm often suffer damage there, 4. Evidence of sinking. Check for consistent corrosion on interior hardware, such as rust on all hinges and drawer pulls. You might be able to spot an interior waterline inside a locker or an area hidden behind an interior structure, 5. Corrosion in the electrical system. Corrosion on electrical items, such as lamps, connectors and behind breaker panels might mean the boat sank recently. Does the boat have all new electronics? Why? 6. Evidence of major interior repairs. Fresh paint or gelcoat work on the inside of the hull and engine room is usually obvious. All new cushions and curtains may be a tipoff, too, 7. Fresh paint on the engine. It may be covering exterior rust as well as

interior damage and 8. Ask the seller. In some states, a seller isn’t required to disclose if a boat was badly damaged unless you ask. If the seller hems and haws then keep looking.
French Sailor Sets New Solo Round-The-World Record BREST, France (AP) — French sailor Francois Gabart has broken the record for sailing around the world alone, circumnavigating the planet in just 42 days and 16 hours – six days faster than the last record, set by fellow Frenchman Thomas Coville last year. Gabart completed his record-breaking sail on Dec. 17. The organizers, tracking his journey by satellite, tweeted that 34-year-old Gabart reached the finish line near Ushant Island — known in French as Ouessant — off France’s western coast aboard his 98-foot trimaran called Macif before dawn, Dec. 17. Dozens of vessels swarmed around the victory vessel, accompanying Gabart as he waved torches. Supporters waited to fete him in nearby Brest, a historic port city and sailing capital from where he departed Nov. 4 and where residents have been following his travels. “It’s a crazy pleasure ... all this human energy,” Gabart said later. “I’m a solitary sailor but this is a pleasure.”

Volvo Ocean Race, NOAA continue working together on ocean research Teams in international nautical competition placed a new batch of drifter buoys in the ocean.
“If you’ve ever sailed onboard a ship, or checked the weather forecast before heading to the beach, then you’re one of millions of people who benefits from ocean observations – and the accuracy of those ocean current and marine weather predictions is key to the race fleet, too.”

WORLDWIDE — Ocean racers and federal scientists would appear to have little, if anything, in common. Yet a rare partnership between Volvo Ocean Race and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) could help us figure out what happens in some of the most isolated corners on Earth. Crew from the Volvo Ocean Race deployed drifter buoys in a remote stretch of ocean in mid-November. The buoys would collect scientific data from these stretches of Earth virtually untouched by human contact and help NOAA scientists observe ocean trends. Volvo Ocean Race teams are placing the drifter buoys as they navigate around the globe. A stretch of water between the South Pacific and Southern Oceans, roughly equidistant from Chile and New Zealand, for example, is essentially devoid of humanity and almost entirely undiscovered. Strategically placing such buoys could provide NOAA’s scientists and experts with new information about weather patterns and coastal trends. Data collected from the free-floating “drifters” would specifically be used to deliver more accurate predictions of ocean conditions and regional climate patterns, according to a Volvo Ocean Race blog. “These floating sensors are equipped with satellite communications equipment to transmit information on ocean composition and currents,” the Volvo Ocean Race blog post stated. “The hard part? Getting them into position. Because the most scientifically interesting areas are usually the most remote and isolated, very few boats actually travel along the routes.” NOAA’s partnership with Volvo Ocean Race is quite significant, as the global boating event provides the U.S. federal agency with a vehicle to reach a portion of the world rarely navigated by commercial or recreational. All seven Volvo Ocean Race teams deployed drifter buoys during the currently ongoing competition, which is currently in its second leg between Lisbon, Portugal and Cape Town, South Africa. Teams in this year’s Volvo Ocean Race will have made 12 stops around the world, navigating the seas between host cities of Alicante (Spain), Lisbon (Portugal), Cape Town (South Africa), Melbourne (Australia), Hong Kong (China), Guangzhou (China), Auckland (New Zealand), Itajai (Brazil), Rhode Island (United States), Cardiff (United Kingdom), Gothenburg (Sweden) and

The Hague (Netherlands). The Southern Ocean, for example, is rarely visited by oceanographers. Navigating from New Zealand to Chile via the Southern Ocean – as part of the Auckland-to-Itajai leg – might be one of the loneliest trips on Earth, as there are no terrestrial obstructions (i.e. continents or islands) to be found along between the eastern edge of Oceania and southwestern front of South America. “If you’ve ever sailed onboard a ship, or checked the weather forecast before heading to the beach, then you’re one of millions of people who benefits from ocean observations – and the accuracy of those ocean current and marine weather predictions is key to the race fleet, too,” the Volvo Ocean Race blog post, penned by Jonno Turner, stated. The World Climate Research Program, or WCRP determined drifter buoys, to be a valuable tool for climate and oceanographic research, according to NOAA staff. The buoys deployed by Volvo Ocean Race’s teams would, according to the event’s organizers, “drift with ocean currents and transmit data on surface pressure, temperature and ocean currents through a global satellite network.” Data from the buoys will contribute to NOAA’s Global Drifter Program, which helps NOAA and others maintain collected information for climate prediction and research. NOAA officials describe “drifters” as a “high-tech version of ‘message in a bottle,’ It consists of a surface buoy and a subsurface drogue (sea anchor), attached by a long, thin tether.” The drogue drops 15 meters beneath the sea surface, according to NOAA. A basic drifter set costs about $1,800.
Drifters, on average, function for about 450 days, though one managed to last for 10 years, four months and 21 days, NOAA staff stated.The average life span for a drogue is 300 days. About three percent of drifters
failed upon deployment, NOAA staff added. The most common reasons of drifter “death” are: picked up by fishermen; ran aground; and, stopped transmitting. Drifter deaths aside, the free-floating buoys are a useful tool for NOAA scientists and experts to help them make more accurate weather forecasts and predictions. More information about the drifter buoys program, including a status update on the many drifters deployed around the world, is available online at aoml.noaa.gov/phod/dac/index.php.

The State of Recreational Boating: Calm Waters Today, Rough Seas Later? State agency and national organization boasts prosperity and growth, but industry challenges must be faced now.
SACRAMENTO — Yet another calendar year is preparing to disappear into the sunset, which means it’s time to effectively have industry experts provide us with a state of recreational boating report. One such presentation was made to the Boating and Waterways Commission, Nov. 29, with a National Marine Merchants Association (NMMA) executive speaking to commissioners about where recreational boating is today and what challenges the industry faces in the near future. Robert Newsome, NMMA’s vice president for engineering standards and membership, addressed the commission on several issues facing the boating community, such as the economic factors influencing boat sales/participation and some of the headwinds the industry is facing with changing demographics and buying behaviors. “It’s a unique industry,” Newsome said of recreational boating. “So many of its participants and its manufacturers and other stakeholders really come in to it through passion. It is truly unique compared to other activities, because it is born of a love of boating.” Newsome, in his presentation, called outdoor recreation as an “overlooked economic giant, with Americans spending an estimated $646 billion annually on the industry. Boating’s share of the pie was about $86.2 billion, while fishing activities contributed another $35.5 billion, according to Newsome. The NMMA executive added about 95 percent of boats sold in the United States are manufactured domestically, while the marine industry overall is responsible for $35.9 billion in expenditures on boats, engines and accessories, among other items. “Boat building is a very, very U.S.based business,” Newsome said. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a strong indicator of boat sales, according to Newsome. Boat sales are generally strongest when the nation’s GDP is at about 3 percent or greater. The quarterly GDP eclipsed the 3 percent mark at least seven times since 2012, according to a chart Newsome shared with commissioners. He added the forecast for 2018 and the early part of 2019 shows the nation’s GDP to be somewhere between 2 and 3 percent. More than 200,000 traditional powerboats (not including personal watercraft or sailboats) were sold in 2016,

The recreational boating industry is smooth sailing right now, but challenges could be on the horizon, according to an NMMA executive who spoke with Boating and Waterways Commission members at their final meeting of 2017.
with the numbers expected to increase in 2017, Newsome told commissioners. An estimated 54,000 new personal watercraft vessels and sailboats were also sold in 2016, Newsome continued. The NMMA executive added the used boat market is also a major economic contributor and serves as a gateway into recreational boating participation. “Nearly 1 million used boats transferred hands [in 2016]. The used boat market is an extreme contributor to boating participation and boating activities,” Newsome said. Only one category of boating vessel - runabout boats - experienced a decline in year-over-year retail sales, as of September of this year. Seven other vessel types experienced some level of growth between the start of fall in 2016 and end of summer in 2017. Cruiser sales experienced the greatest year-over-year growth – 9.1 percent
Economic Significance of Recreational Boating in California
– through September 2017. Towboats (7.7 percent), pontoons (7.1 percent), personal watercraft (6.4 percent), saltwater fishing boats (2.8 percent), yachts (2.2 percent) and freshwater fishing boats (1.6 percent) rounded out the list of vessels with positive year-over-year growth for the 12-month period ending in September. Runabout boats experienced a 1.7 percent decline in sales between September 2016 and September 2017. Newsome predicted outboard boats would continue to rise in popularity and consistently be among the top selling vessel types for the foreseeable future. “There is a strong consumer demand, right now, for outboard boats,” Newsome told commissioners. Pontoons are also experiencing high popularity, according to Newsome. The annual economic benefit of recreational boating in California,

according to Newsome, is $9.6 billion. Recreational boating, Newsome added, supports more than 48,000 jobs and 2,600 businesses. California’s annual retail sales of new boats, engines and marine accessories accounted for about $614.6 million, Newsome said. “California is one of the top boating states in the country,” Newsome told commissioners, adding there are 697,412 recreational vessels in the state. A lion share of those boats – 78 percent – are powerboats, while personal watercraft vessels account for 13 percent of the nearly 700,000 crafts in California’s waterways. Sailboats (5 percent) and “others” (4 percent) account for the remaining registered vessels in state. An estimated 15.8 million recreational boats – both registered and unregistered – are in use nationwide, Newsome told the commission; nearly 95 percent of those vessels are 26 feet or smaller and on trailers. Newsome also described boating as a middle class activity, citing an NMMA statistic where 74 percent of boat owners have incomes of less than $100,000. The NMMA executive told commissioners the industry must encourage more youth ownership and participation in boating, as the average age of the boat has increased steadily during the past 20 years. The average age of a boat owner in 1997, for example, was 47. Boat owners, on average, were 55 years of age about 20 years later, according to an NMMA study. Another challenge facing the recreational boating community: how to engage greater participation among millennials and ethnic minorities. Commissioner Douglas Metz agreed with Newsome’s point about the need to bring in multiple demographics into recreational boating, particularly those from underprivileged communities. “Are we serving the underserved,” Metz asked. “Are we, for example, in [San Diego’s South County], reaching out to the Boys and Girls Club? It’s the responsibility of all us … to be of greater service of the underserved.” Yet another challenge facing the recreational boating community, according to Newsome, is the lack of transparency surrounding the true cost of boating. “The industry has done a pretty bad job, quite honestly, of cost-of-ownership transparency. You can buy a boat for $20,000, and we talk about how it’s very affordable for everyone, but we’re not great at [talking about] the insurance, the storage … all these things that have a significant cost contribution,” Newsome said. “It’s all the underlying costs that are not readily apparent when you purchase the product that really are contributing to people getting out of the activity very quickly.”

Updated pier would be more secure than previous structure, according to agency. By Parimal M. Rohit DANA POINT — National Park Services’ plan to update the primary access to Santa Cruz Island earned the blessings of California Coastal Commission members, as the quasi-judicial agency determined the federal project to be consistent with the commission’s policies, Dec. 13. Plans currently call for the removal of a 9-foot-wide-by-96-foot-long gangway from an existing structure and have it re-used at the new pier location. The existing pier, which is used as the primary access point for Santa Cruz Island visitors, is no longer safe, according to Coastal Commission staff. “The existing pier is in an area of exposed shallow waters to the north of the new proposed pier site that can often present conditions that are challenging or unsafe for navigation and passenger loading. Because the pier at Scorpion Anchorage provides the primary means of entry for public visitors to the eastern end of Santa Cruz Island (the portion of the island owned and managed by NPS), which provides camping and recreational facilities, NPS
is proposing to replace it with a larger, more secure pier at a more southerly location,” according to Coastal Commission staff. “This new proposed pier would extend into deeper water, allowing it to be safely used by vessels in a wider range of ocean conditions,” Coastal Commission staff continued. The new pier would include a 30-foot-wide-by-60-foot-long area for passenger loading and unloading, the Coastal Commission staff report stated. Also proposed is an attached aluminum gangway and “a series of 12-inch fiberglass fender piles along the perimeter.” “The surface of the pier would remain an average of 17 [feet] above the ocean surface and pass-through access by foot or kayak would be possible during most conditions for much of the pier span,” Coastal Commission staff stated in its report to commissioners. Some of the concerns surrounding the project were potential loss or disturbance of sensitive marine habitat and adverse impacts to coastal water quality. NPS officials, accordingly, proposed a series of mitigation measures, such as conducting habitat/sensitive wildlife surveys ahead of construction, employing marine wildlife observers and replacing existing moorings located in an eelgrass bed. Santa Cruz Island, according to
Coastal Commission staff, “is the most visited island in Channel Islands National Park.” About one-third of the island is owned and managed by NPS; The Nature Conservancy owns the remainder of the island. “Scorpion Anchorage at the northeastern end of the island … serves as the primary entry point for public access A makeover could be in store for Santa Cruz Island’s Scorpion to the island and Channel Anchorage; California Coastal Commission staff determined the current structure is unsafe.

From Rejection Comes Connection: Dana Point Harbor Advisory Board in Candidate Selection Process New committee is now in the stages of selecting representatives; an introductory meeting is scheduled for early 2018. By Devon Warren
DANA POINT — Anyone who is familiar with the saga that has been the formation of the Dana Point Harbor Advisory Council knows it has not been an easy road. Back in September, the council was disassembled before it even came to fruition as Orange County officials decided to terminate the formal body. However, as 2018 creeps ever nearer, it seems the Dana Point Harbor Advisory Board (DPHAB) could finally see the light of day. “After a few logistical delays, mostly due to scheduling challenges, we are underway again with our harbor partners on establishing the Dana Point Harbor Advisory Board,” a recent Dana Point Boaters Association eNewsletter stated. The newsletter went on to state the advisory board is currently building a committee of nine members to represent the community. Two ex-officio members would also be selected and a meeting introducing the new members
and bylaws of the board will be scheduled in the first few weeks of 2018. Currently, the advisory board is in the process of receiving and reviewing applications from a pool of qualified candidates. James Lenthall, president of Dana Point Boaters Association, and a larger selection committee will select the candidates. They are putting an emphasis on appointing members who are thoughtful, knowledgeable participants in the community and, of course, deeply love the harbor. “While I will be one among a larger selection committee and the choice of membership won’t be mine alone, I can predict what I imagine will be the primary qualities that we will seek from our candidates,” Lenthall told The Log. “First, they must demonstrate that they sufficiently represent the stakeholder category that they are aligning with. Beyond that, we will be looking for harbor community representatives with a deep knowledge of their harbor, a love and passion for our harbor community, the ability to collaborate respectfully and thoughtfully with their DPHAB peers, and open-mindedness to consider the needs and objectives of their harbor partners.” As Lenthall elaborates on the selection process, he is hopeful this will successfully lead to meetings open to the public.
“The selection committee will be comprised of knowledgeable and objective members of our harbor community, essentially including some members who are not vying for a place on the DPHAB. We don’t have a final date yet, but the selection committee will convene in the first half of January,” Lenthall said. “Hopefully the committee will successfully select the nine representative members and two ex-officio (government) members in short order. We will then schedule an introductory
meeting among the selected members to ratify membership and bylaws and schedule future meetings. “Once that’s completed, we will post the meeting schedule and agendas online,” Lenthall continued. “These will be open meetings.” For more information about the Dana Point Boaters Association and the formation of the DPHAB, visit the website at danapointboaters.org or email James Lenthall at jameslenthall@ danapointboaters.org.

Taxes, illegal charters, environment and ethanol dominate 2017 headlines What will 2018 have in store for Dana Point Harbor revitalization and fishing license reform? By Parimal M. Rohit
STATEWIDE — The time of making resolutions and looking ahead to what could be is upon us, meaning it’s also a great opportunity to review the year we just experienced. The Log covered a wide variety of news topics in 2017, ranging from everyday boating policy decisions to broad environmental stories.

Our final issue of 2017 takes a quick look at some of the most notable stories of the past 12 months.
Banning Ranch One of the largest swaths of undeveloped coastal land in Orange County was at the heart of a major California Coastal Commission decision at the outset of 2017. The California Coastal Commission rejected a proposal to redevelop about 401 acres of open space at Newport Beach’s Banning Ranch in February. It was a major win for environmental advocacy groups who opposed the addition of 900 homes, hotel and hostel facilities, and more than 45,000 acres of retail space just off central Orange County’s coast. The quasi-judicial agency’s decision was considered a litmus test of whether the California Coastal Commission would favor corporate interests after dismissing its executive director, an environmental advocate, about one year earlier. Newport Beach, nearly 10 months after the commission’s decision, voted to cancel its contracts with the Banning Ranch developer. The future of Banning Ranch is still undetermined.
Coastal Commission Executive Director The Coastal Commission’s search for a new Executive Director coincided with its Banning Ranch decision. Jack Ainsworth was selected as the commission’s fifth top executive, exactly one year after commissioners controversially fired his predecessor, Charles Lester.
Five candidates were vetted from 13 applications received; the names of the candidates were not revealed. Lester, a staunch advocate for environmental issues, was relieved from his executive role in February 2016. The commission’s 7-5 vote in favor of dismissing Lester was juxtaposed with widespread public support for the former executive director. The firing of Lester caused some observers of the Coastal Commission to question whether it would become beholden to pro-development interests.
Ethanol Reform The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was also under the microscope in 2017, particularly with its mandate on ethanol production. Boating United, a pro-boater advocacy group, launched a petition to urge Donald Trump, who was Presidentelect at the time, to reduce corn-based fuel mandates as soon as he assumed the presidency. A joint letter penned by BoatUS and National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) in May urged Pres. Trump to reform the Renewable Fuel Standard and limit the national supply of ethanol. The EPA ultimately decided to increase ethanol’s supply, certainly to the disappointment of boating interests. Groups such as BoatUS and NMMA have long stated fuel blends containing 15 percent ethanol or greater are harmful to marine engines.
Environmental Protection Agency A federal bill (H.R. 861) proposing to eliminate the EPA altogether was filed not long after Boating United’s ethanol petition. Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz introduced H.R. 861 in February. Abolishing the EPA was necessary to protect states rights, according to Gaetz and the bill’s other sponsors. H.R. 861 circulated in a few House committees but hasn’t been deliberated in any capacity since April.
Second Home Tax Breaks A San Francisco legislator took aim at second residence owners at the end of 2016, proposing the elimination of certain mortgage deductions via Assembly Bill 71 (AB 71). The bill specifically would have required taxes on second residence mortgages be paid to help fund California’s affordable housing initiatives. Certain boats fell within the definition of a second residence, meaning some boat owners would have been exposed to increased tax payments had AB 71 been enacted. The bill didn’t make much progress
in 2017, but AB 71 is still on the docket for 2018. A tax reform bill approved in the House of Representatives in November also proposed the elimination of second resident deductions at the federal level.
Fishing Reform State Sen. Tom Berryhill, R-Twain Harte, introduced Senate Bill 187 (SB 187) earlier this year, hoping his proposal for fishing license reform would finally garner the approval of his colleagues and the signature of Gov. Jerry Brown after previous attempts failed. The bill specifically proposed to eliminate California’s calendar-based fishing license system and replace it with a 12-month scheme. SB 187 moved through the State Senate and a handful of Assembly committees with no opposition. No formal oppositions were filed against SB 187 by lobbyists or other interests. Yet the bill still failed to advance out of the Assembly Appropriations Committee, leaving SB 187’s sponsors and supporters wondering why an unopposed proposal calling for common sense reform stalled in the late stages of the legislative process.
Pacific Bluefin Tuna Federal officials rejected a formal request to declare Pacific bluefin tuna as an endangered species. The decision, which was handed down in August, completed a one-year review of the bluefin tuna fishery. Officials with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) stated the Pacific bluefin tuna population was stable enough as to not warrant restrictive protection of the species under federal law.
Illegal Charter Operations Regulating charter operations in Southern California harbors was a hot topic in 2017, with the issue discussed by the Division of Boating and Waterways Commission, L.A. County’s Department of Beaches and Harbors, U.S. Coast Guard, city of Newport Beach and various agencies and entities in San Diego. Los Angeles County’s Small Craft Harbor Commission, which recommends policy actions for Marina del Rey, has been trying to craft an illegal charter operations action plan for some time now. Deliberations on the matter will continue into 2018. Newport Beach’s City Council also discussed passenger charter operations at their final meeting of 2017. The council pushed its discussion on the matter into 2018, as well. A coalition of agencies and entities in San Diego, including the Coast
Guard and Port of San Diego, have also been working toward crafting a set of policies to govern illegal charter operations.
Dana Point Harbor It’s been an interesting year for Dana Point Harbor, the South Orange County waterfront and boating destination pegged for redevelopment since 1997. Orange County Auditor-Controller Eric Woolery released three audit reports on Dana Point Harbor operations. The reports, for the most part, found “management control” of critical harbor operations. Dana Point Harbor also welcomed a new manager, as Shannon Levine was plucked from Newport Beach to essentially succeed Brad Gross as the waterfront’s chief liaison to Orange County. County officials planned to launch a Dana Point Harbor Advisory Commission, with two of the panel’s 11 seats filled in August. Weeks later the commission was dissolved – after nearly one year of planning and discussions. The Board of Supervisors entering into negotiations with a group of private firms to oversee Dana Point’s revitalization followed the dissolution of the advisory commission.
Avalon Fuel Dock Café Jenny and Russell Armstrong have been at odds with the city of Avalon throughout 2017, as both parties struggled to come to terms to execute plans for a new café at the local fuel dock. The Armstrongs hoped to build a café at the city’s fuel dock and thought they had a path to realize their plans coming into 2017; the couple had operated Casino Dock Café in the same area for about 20 years and initially agreed to construct a new eatery. However both sides failed to reach a final consensus. Avalon, with no success to date, has solicited proposals from other potential vendors. The future of a new café at Avalon’s fuel dock remains uncertain.
Jetpacks Thrill seekers suffered a loss in midFebruary when Newport Beach’s City Council opted to ban jetpack activities from the local harbor. Jetpack operations in Newport Harbor met with controversy ever since the activity was introduced within city limits. A contingency of waterfront residents opposed any jetpack activity within the harbor, claiming it was loud and unsafe. Supporters said jetpack operations were actually safe and would draw tourists to Newport Beach. See NEWS REVIEW page 15

Avalon Vons on course for completed construction in December 2018 By Devon Warren
AVALON — After years of stalls and hold-ups, it appears Avalon’s plans to merge two Vons markets into one are finally moving forward as planned. Earlier in December, Avalon’s City Council made the announcement construction had finally begun. Amanda Cook, Planning Director for the city of Avalon, told The Log, “Vons is processing satisfactorily. The construction schedule projects a completion date in December 2018.” Cook also stated construction is currently in “the grading stage,” which indicates ensuring the foundation base is level and, for instance, during a storm there is an efficient surface runoff drainage system. In a bi-weekly press release, City Manager David Jinkens stated, “Every effort is being made to ensure that minimum disruption to the community occurs, but there will be some inconveniences.” At this time, it is unknown whether any little inconveniences have arisen for the locals of Avalon, who have enjoyed the sleepy hideaway qualities of Santa Catalina Island. Franchise establishments at Avalon are a rarity, what with Bluewater Grill, U.S. Bank and Vons supermarket the only familiar brands easily spotted within the city. Perhaps this process could be similar to the popular children’s tale of the

Border Run and N2E Participation of two well-known sailing events in Southern California hasn’t been high in recent years, leading Newport Ocean Sailing Association (NOSA) to acquire The Border Run and manage it alongside its other race, Newport-To-Ensenada (N2E). NOSA hopes to consolidation of both events under one roof will help the organization better position The Border Run and N2E to sailors of all ages, ergo increasing participation.

Dock Lines With Capt. Nicole
Winterizing your boat, SoCal style Story and photo by Capt. Nicole Sours Larson
ing the drain clear, we’ve avoided further problems. Check your lines. Are your lines frayed? Frayed lines can snap in high or gusting winds, causing both dinghies and boats to break loose from moorings and drift onto land, float away or damage other vessels. Don’t leave anything loose on your deck or dock that winds can pick up and blow, turning otherwise benign objects into missiles. Bring loose objects inside or tie them down. How’s your canvas? High winds can rip holes in canvas and tear apart weak seams, something we’ve experienced repeatedly with our bimini. Seeking tips for sailboat owners, I called Greg Coleman, service director of South Coast Yachts of San Diego and Newport Beach, a thoughtful man with broad experience overseeing maintenance for Bénéteau and many other lines of sail and power yachts. He’s a gold mine of maintenance information. He strongly advises sailors to check their sails. “Make sure your sails are furled correctly,” particularly the headsail and jib. “If it’s not furled straight it will catch the
SAN DIEGO —Our mild SoCal climate, with temperatures in the 90s in November and 80s in December and only a hint of rain, can be deceptive, deluding us harsh winter storms will never come. While the current long-range forecast calls for La Niña conditions with lower than normal rain, we should remember long-range weather forecasts for the last two years were wrong. Two years ago forecasters predicted a strong El Niño season, with extra rain. Arv and I altered our boating plans because of such dire predictions. After one or two strong storms, the rain petered out. Last year forecasters promised us a dry La Niña year. Instead we were pelted with “atmospheric rivers,” causing dangerous flooding and mudslides. So, how should boaters prepare? Winterize our boats, but, unlike the fullscale winterization required in colder climes to help boats to survive hard freezes, we need to protect our vessels against high winds and heavy rains. First and foremost, look for and seal water leaks. If you’re not sure whether your hatches and window frames are tight, take a hose and run water around them to check for possible penetration. Try a high pressure hose at different angles since sometimes near-horizontal wind-driven rain can find unexpected entry High winds in a January storm overturned and jumbled together these lightly secured catamarans resting on the sand on San Diego’s Mission Bay. points.

OCC School of Sailing and Seamanship photo
Sailing
Construction of the new marina at Orange Coast College’s School of Sailing and Seamanship is officially underway and will likely take two years to complete. The updated campus will include a new 10,000 sq. ft. Marina Training Facility.
Orange Coast College due to see monumental upgrades for the School of Sailing & Seamanship College will make many changes to the amenities available to maritime students during the next two years. By Devon Warren NEWPORT BEACH — While many boaters might have New Year’s resolutions to overall improve the operations of their boats, it appears the School of Sailing & Seamanship at Orange Coast College (OCC) will spend the next two years resolving to make vast and sweeping changes to the amenities available to sailing students. Among the changes planned will be a 10,000 sq. ft. Marina Training Facility, a new building connected to the present facility with a pedestrian bridge over Coast Highway, and the possible return of the offshore sailing program. Repairs and renovations are presently being made to the current marina facility with an estimated completion date of Feb. 1, 2018. “This is going to be quite the year for us,” Brad Avery, the program’s director, said in promotional material issues to those interested in the School of Sailing & Seamanship. “After five decades, our entire marina facility will be replaced. The project start[ed] fall and should be completed by Feb. 1, 2018. This longplanned upgrade includes new pilings, floats, electrical, lighting, plumbing, and fire system. Our faculty and staff did the layout, which will provide a
great marina in terms of safety, efficiency, and more room for boats.” In addition to the project that will see renovations for the marina facility and is planned to be completed in early 2018, an even larger extension of the current facility is being planned to start construction in 2019. “2018 will see final approvals for OCC’s new Maritime Training Center, which will be built across the street from our current facility,” Avery stated. “A pedestrian bridge over Coast Highway will connect both buildings. The new 10,000 sq. ft. building will be home to our growing Professional Mariner Program, which serves students interested in maritime careers. Construction should begin in early 2019,” he continued. Avery also hinted the school is looking to incorporate even more handson training, hopefully giving student sailors and mariners the opportunity to participate in offshore sailing. “We also look forward to reviving our offshore sail training program in 2018. We are currently seeking a modern cruising boat in the 53- to 60-ft. range,” Avery said. “After the sale of the incredibly successful Alaska Eagle in 2011, we are eager to again provide students with offshore sailing skills, which can only be acquired by participating in multi-day offshore sailing passages. Many supporters have helped us toward this goal.” OCC has had much success in obtaining vessels for firsthand train-
ing. Before Alaska Eagle was sold and returned to her native Netherlands in 2011, she was donated to OCC and maintained by Rich and Sheri Crowe, instructors of the offshore sailing program for around 29 years. Avery told The Log in the past, “It’s incredible what they [the Crowes] have been able to do over the past 30 years.” Avery continued, “They have taken thousands of students offshore including more than 40 trips to Hawaii and other destinations, and have maintained a perfect safety record.” While the school’s 2018 program mentioned the offshore sailing program is due to return, Avery was not available for immediate comment on whether another vessel will be donated or if other offshore sailing instructors will be appointed in the near or distant future. OCC’s School of Sailing & Seamanship also currently owns and operates Nordic Star, OCC’s flagship vessel and charter yacht. Nordic Star was donated to the OCC Foundation by the Jerrell Barto family in 2010 and ever since has served to teach students of the Professional Mariner Program the ins and outs of operating a charter yacht. According to the program, Nordic Star assists maritime students in gaining valuable skills desired by any maritime industry employer. The training covers subjects such as deck operations, man overboard recovery, abandon ship procedures, bridge man-
agement, engine monitoring and water management. Acknowledging the changes coming to the School of Sailing & Seamanship have required much planning and teamwork, Avery stated, “These three initiatives are outcomes from program growth, community input, and longterm planning. It has all been possible by the support of students, donors, staff, OCC, the Coast Community College District, and the County of Orange.” Adult and young sailor courses are provided through OCC, including courses that provide students to acquire his or her California Boater Card. Beginning Jan.1, 2018, all young adults aged 16 to 20 are required to hold a Boater Card when operating a vessel, powered sailboat, or paddlecraft alone. By 2025, all boaters will be required to have their card. Other notable boating courses offered through OCC are sailing courses for all levels, youth and family sailing camps, keelboating classes, cruising courses, powerboat operation, seamanship courses, and a Professional Mariner Program. The OCC School of Sailing & Seamanship is located at 1801 W. Coast Highway in Newport Beach.

December Blue Bites Tribute Sportfishing photo
fishrap.com
A 3.5-day fishing trip aboard Tribute out of San Diego returned home with four bluefin tuna, according to the sportfisher’s Facebook page. The Dec. 11 expedition yielded 138 lingcod, 46 big sheephead, four bluefin (including the one pictured here) and one yellowtail. Anglers also had their lot of rockfish and whitefish. December has been an unusually good month for bluefin tuna bites.
Southern California fishing news
House committee approves MSA update
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Anglers and fishing industry activists applauded the passage of a federal bill out of a House committee in mid-December, as an attempt to amend and update the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, or MSA, gained traction on Capitol Hill. Members of the House Committee on Natural Resources approved House Resolution 200 (H.R. 200), which was introduced by Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, in January 2017, by a 23-17 vote. The vote appeared to be mostly on party lines, as the committee is made up of 25 Republicans and 18 Democrats. H.R. 200 would revise and reauthorize the MSA through the 2022 Fiscal Year, according to an official House of Representatives summary of the bill. Young’s proposal would make several revisions and updates to the MSA. Portions of the MSA targeted for revisions include “requirements for fishery management plans for overfished fisheries” and catch limit requirements. The following revisions were also recommended is H.R. 200: • Replacing “overfished” with “depleted” in order to “distinguish between fish that are depleted due to fishing and those that are depleted for other reasons” • Require fishery impact statements to include an analysis of potential impacts on quality human environment • Require National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to “publish a plan for implementing the Cooperative Research and Management Program” • Require NOAA to “develop a plan to conduct stock assessments for all fish for which a fishery management plan is in effect” • Require NOAA to “develop guidelines that will incorporate data
imperiled ocean wildlife, like whales, sea turtles, and sea birds.” Molly Masterson, who authored the blog post, continued. The blog stated H.R. 200 creates loopholes to the annual catch limit requirements and undermines established environmental law. A blog post on the Environmental Defense Fund website also challenged H.R. 200, stating the bill lacks “meaningful bipartisan support.” “H.R. 200 would exempt a significant, and unclear, number of fisheries from this important requirement, including an indeterminate number of species that are targeted by some fishermen,” the EDF blog post stated. “[The bill also] creates so many exemptions from the current rebuilding requirements that it would effectively eliminate most rebuilding deadlines. “The result could well be short-term increases in quotas, but in the long-term it will likely lead to declines that will bring hardship to fishermen and coastal communities,” the blog post continued. EDF staff added they believe H.R. 200 would prevent innovation and restrict use of certain management tools.

Tight lines — By Parimal M. Rohit NOAA seeks comments for 2017 Marine Mammal Stock Assessment Reports WASHINGTON, D.C. — Officials with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) recently completed a stock assessment report of regional marine mammal populations and seeks public comment of the drafted appraisal. Regional assessments were conducted along the Atlantic seaboard, Gulf of Mexico and Pacific Ocean coast. NMFS and NOAA staff specifically reviewed all 85 stocks in the Pacific Ocean region, according to a Federal Register notice. Killer, sperm and humpback whale stocks were revised under the drafted stock assessment report, according to federal officials. Section 117 of the Marine Mammal Protection Act mandates the assessment and public review. NMFS and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are required under
the act to prepare annual stock assessments for each stock of marine mammal within federal waters. Stock assessment reports are peerreviewed prior to being vetted by the public. Public comments can be made online or via snail mail. Online comments can be submitted at bit.ly/2BW7T4B. Snail mail comments or requests for copies of reports should be sent to: Chief, Marine Mammal and Sea Turtle Conservation Division, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910-3226, Attn: Stock Assessments. The draft stock assessments can be viewed online at bit.ly/2oYNCWV. Questions about the Pacific Ocean stock assessment should be directed to Jim Carretta at 858-546-7171 or Jim. Carretta@noaa.gov.

SALTWATER OCEAN FISHING REPORT By Terrence Berg 976-TUNA.com AWESOME BLUEFIN ACTION CONTINUES: The unprecedented fishing for bluefin tuna continues for boats running out of San Diego, Orange, and Los Angeles county landings to the 60-mile and Butterfly Banks off San Clemente Island. It has been limit-style fishing again over the past week with the fish running in the 15- to 25-pound range with a few to 30 pounds or so. There are still some of the even bigger bluefin around, but they have not been biting for the past month. The number of boats making the run on overnight and 1.5-day trips has dwindled, as have the number of anglers on these runs, but the action is still pretty exceptional. Many mornings, two-fish tuna limits are tucked away early leaving time for the skippers to poke around and try to find other action. There have been some pretty good batches of pelagic yellowtail on floating kelp off the tuna banks, but most are small right now, 5- to 10-pounders. The scores tell the story. Condor out of Fisherman’s Landing was out on an overnight trip with 22 anglers on Dec. 19 and had 44 bluefin on board. The Dec. 19 overnight with 36 anglers produced just 13 bluefin, but 140
yellowtails, while the Dec. 17 trip with 22 anglers returned with limits of 44 bluefin. New Lo-An out of Point Loma Sportfishing had 13 anglers on its Dec. 20 overnight trip returning with limits of 26 bluefin along with 40 yellowtails. The Dec. 19 trip with 28 anglers produced 17 bluefin but 102 yellowtails, while the Dec. 18 overnight with 22 anglers put 44 bluefin and 32 yellowtails on the deck. Tribute out of Seaforth Sportfishing had 23 anglers on its Dec. 20 overnight, and the 23 anglers had 35 bluefin. Most of the boats will be knocking off these trips until after the Christmas, but a few are running right up into the weekend for anglers who want to get in on a trip this week.
offshore islands are really posting good scores on better quality fish, especially on overnight trips. El Dorado out of Long Beach Sportfishing had 28 anglers on its Dec. 20 overnight trip and reeled in 185 quality whitefish, 150 rockfish, 40 red snappers, 15 sand dabs, three lingcod, and two sheephead. Freelance out of Davey’s Locker had 40 anglers on its Dec. 18 three-quarter-day-trip and landed 103 rockfish, 86 whitefish, 76 perch, four sheephead, and three red snapper. New Del Mar, on a half-day trip with 33 anglers on Dec. 19, returned to dock with 205 rockfish, 55 whitefish, one lingcod, and one sheephead.
SQUID TRANSLATE INTO QUIET SEA BASS BITE: The abundance of squid off the Southern California coast and at the local islands has translated into a quiet bite on white sea bass with the fish running from 25 to 60 pounds. Most of the action has been for private boaters and six-pack charters. There are also some yellowtails showing on the candy bait for this same crowd. The fish are showing in little pockets along the coast and at the islands.
VENTURA-SANTA BARBARA UPDATE: The Ventura and Santa Barbara area landings’ boats continue to have excellent rockfish action. At Channel Islands Sportfishing in Oxnard, Gentleman had 13 anglers on its Dec. 20 threequarter-day trip and landed 110 rockfish, 120 whitefish, and 18 sheephead. Mirage was on an overnight trip on Dec. 18 with 23 anglers and landed 230 rockfish and 22 lingcod. At Hook’s Landing in Oxnard, New Hustler had 16 anglers on a three-quarter day trip Dec. 19 and landed 160 rockfish, 70 whitefish, and 10 sheephead. The Dec. 18 overnight on this boat had 11 anglers who landed 110 rockfish, 66 whitefish, 22 lingcod, and one sheephead.
ROCKFISH, BOTTOMFISH EXCELLENT: The bite on rockfish and other bottom species has been excellent for most Southern California landings targeting these fish. Skippers focusing on the
At Ventura Sportfishing, Island Spirit had 19 anglers on its Dec. 19 full-day trip and landed 120 rockfish, 45 whitefish, 38 lingcod, and one sheephead. Amigo had 25 anglers on its Dec. 17 full-day trip and landed 200 rockfish, 57 whitefish, and two lingcod.

San Diego Report
The 2017 bluefin tuna bite continues, could roll into 2018 SAN DIEGO — It is a few days before Christmas as this report is being written and it is incredible to be able to say that near limit to limit catches of bluefin tuna are still being made out at the 60 Mile Bank. We recently had a northern weather system come through Southern California, bringing some winds to the area but nothing severe. It’s unclear whether this mild system would cause water temperatures to drop so low as to send the bluefin away. The water in the area of the 60 Mile Bank has been running about 63.8 degrees. Recent days have seen near limit to limit catches of bluefin tuna at the 60 Mile Bank and the Dec. 20 fishing was no exception. Condor out of Fisherman’s Landing fished an overnight trip with 22 anglers who returned to shore with limits of 44 bluefin tuna. New Lo-Ann out of Point Loma Sportfishing had an overnight trip with 13 anglers catching limits of 26 bluefin tuna and 40 yellowtails. Seaforth Sportfishing had an overnight trip on Tribute with 23 anglers catching 35 bluefin tuna. The bluefin tuna have been in the 15- to 30-pound class and biting best on sardines. Those fishing with iron have also been catching a few bluefin using Flat Fall jigs. Most of the sportboats have been fishing while sitting on the anchor but anglers have also been catching bluefin while drifting or while slow trolling with live sardines.
Most anglers are using live bait outfits with fluorocarbon leaders in the 20- to 25-pound range. Using small hooks relative to the size of the live bait has also been a good thing in obtaining the stealth sometimes needed to draw strikes from wary bluefin. The action at the 60 Mile Bank is being found around the upper high spot, which comes up to 53 fathoms. Some of the kelp paddies in the region of the 60 Mile Bank have also been producing good numbers of yellowtail. There has not been much to report in the way of yellowtail action around Los Coronado Islands during the past couple of weeks but there has been good fishing for an assortment of rockfish along with a few bonus bonito and lingcod. The lower end of the 9 Mile Bank has been a productive rockfish zone and hard bottom areas to the north and the northwest of North Island have also been producing a good number of rockfish. Best areas at Los Coronado Islands for a chance at finding a few bonito and yellowtail are the weather side of North Island and the Middle Grounds. Mission Belle out of Point Loma Sportfishing fished a recent trip to Los Coronado Islands and had 17 anglers on a threequarter-day trip catch six bonito, one lingcod and limits of rockfish (80). There have been pretty good numbers of yellowtail biting outside of Point Loma in recent days, with one day of fishing providing good enough
action where a couple of private boaters reported 10 yellowtail catches apiece. The best yellowtail area off Point Loma has been 1 to 2 miles from the Whistler Buoy, while fishing anywhere from southwest of the Whistler Buoy up to northwest of the Whistler Buoy. A few yellowtail and bonito have scratched out at La Jolla. The occasional yellowtail caught at La The Pacific bluefin tuna bite continues to be active in late 2017, as evidenced by this Dec. 20 fishing expedition aboard New Lo-An. Jolla tends to be one of the larger 15- to 20-pound fish.
