California Coastal Commission eyes desalination policy in 2018 Quasi-judicial state agency begins study how to approach the future of water security.

STATEWIDE — The worst of California’s most recent drought cycle might be over, but policymakers are still contemplating desalination as a potential solution to future water shortages.

Members of the California Coastal Commission, contemplating its 2018 agenda, held a study session on desalination at its final meeting of 2017.

Some of the questions Coastal Commission members will face as they devise a desalination policy during the next 12 (or more) months include how water will be sourced at new plants and how saltwater conversion plants effect marine life.

Tom Luster, a senior environmental scientist with the Coastal Commission, provided a detailed, technical presentation of seawater desalination and its potential impacts. Much of his presentation focused on subsurface intake designs and other ideas to draw open water into a desalination plant with minimal loss of marine life.

Luster said various federal and state policies, such as the Clean Water Act, Coastal Act and State Water Code, have all carry a similar goal in governing

The Coastal Commission could shape the future of desalination policy in California, as the quasi-judicial agency is expected to flesh out a stance on saltwater-conversion.

desalination plants on the coast: “Don’t kill marine life if you don’t have to.”

“In seawater there are planktons.

That’s the basis of one of the key environmental issues we deal with in citing, designing and permitting seawater desalt facilities. Seawater is full of plankton … [and] is not just water,” Luster told commissioners. “”[Seawater] is habitat for a rich variety of small organisms, most of which we know very little about. Basically, planktons are organisms that drift with the currents.”

Other life forms potentially affected by desalination plants and intakes are fish eggs, larvae and early stage crabs.

Damon Nagami, a senior attorney with the Natural Resources Defense

Council, said desalination should take a back seat to what he identified as more efficient and practical drought solutions.

“California’s top priority for drought relief ought to be securing affordable, cost effective, resilient and environmentally sound alternatives that we know will work, such as conservation, efficiency, stormwater capture and recycling,” Nagami told commissioners. “NRDC is not categorically against desalination [but could support it] as a last resort, where it’s needed.”

Nagami went on to explain desalination as a potentially “an expensive, energy intensive and environmental risky water supply option and may not be the best use of scarce water

plans, especially in regions where water sustainability remains a distant aspiration.”

Desalination plants could also pose threats to California’s networks of Marine Protected Areas, according to Nagami.

Ray Heimstra of O.C. Coastkeeper said open ocean intakes are obsolete technology. He added the use of wedgewire screens to protect marine life from being sucked into desalination plants was found to be ineffective by the State Water Boards.

“Most of the marine life is very small. Those screens don’t do much,” Heimstra said.

Open ocean intakes also produce chemical additives and wastewater discharge, Heimstra told commissioners.

Brine discharge is yet another potential consequence of desalination plants. Heimstra said brine discharge should be comingled with wastewater as to not create newly polluted areas.

“The screens, although they’re one millimeter slots, very small slots, about the thickness of a credit card, most plankton are still able to get through,” Luster told commissioners.

Open intakes with one-millimeter slots are the standard for plants required to use them over other technology, according to Luster.

The Coastal Commission will revisit its desalination discussion later this year.

Pet project vs. the will of the voters Councilman Horvath again shows his bias toward the CenterCal Mall. He voted to pass the flawed EIR for the project and rejected an appeal on the EIR approval despite significant evidence of the flaws. Nearly the same appeal was filed with the Coastal Commission and the Commission unanimously found significant issues reflecting nearly every point brought up in the appeal. Horvath also chose to ignore every public safety [staff member] who patrols the harbor on a daily basis by rejecting the appeal on the boat ramp. Redondo’s Harbor Patrol staff and the Baywatch Redondo staff all oppose the Mole B location, because it represents a significant danger to boaters in the harbor due to lack of maneuvering space, limited sight lines and the amount of traffic at this critical corner in the harbor. The Community rejected Horvath’s pet project - every precinct in every district voted for Measure C, which would scale back the project substantially and require the boat ramp [be placed] in a safe location. It is a shame that

Re: High Seas: Marijuana, Boating and You (Jan. 26-Feb. 8 issue)

Is secondhand smoke permeating boats?

My concern in regards to the new law is the secondhand smoke issue while in the slip, among other things. Per the San Diego Harbor Police, there is nothing regarding secondhand smoke in the new law.

This is what was sent to me by the above law enforcement agency:“When it comes to vessels, if they are in a slip and plugged in, they are technically at that point not a mobile conveyance. If you are living aboard that vessel, it is your home. One is allowed to smoke inside their home or even on a patio or open area within the home/boat. Unfortunately, there are no laws regarding secondhand smoke when it ‘permeates’ next door.”

WATCH

California Fishing License: Two More States Adopt 12-Month System Kansas and Nevada switch over to calendar-based licenses less than six months after SB 187’s failure.

By Parimal M. Rohit STATEWIDE — California has often thumped its chest as being a trendsetting state, the notion being concepts and ideas originating here eventually becoming the norm everywhere else within a matter of months or years. The Golden State, however, appears to be behind the eight ball when it comes to adopting a 12-month system for fishing licenses.

The Log covered this topic a few times in 2017. Our most recent coverage cited a legislative analysis of Senate Bill 187 (SB 187), where the apparent lack of success of a 12-month fishing license policy in three southern states (Alabama, Georgia and Virginia) was partial justification for not pursuing a similar system in California.

Georgia, for example, suffered a 31 percent drop in fishing license sales after the 12-month policy was enacted.

“The Assembly’s legislative analysts relied upon these three states as examples of what could happen if California enacted and implemented as 12-month fishing license,” a Standing Watch article on this topic, published in The Log’s Nov. 3, 2017 issue, stated. “A 31 percent drop in fishing license sales in California, hypothetically speaking, would result in 332,000 fewer fishing licenses sold in the state – resulting in a $14.8 million loss in revenue – according the legislative analysis.”

We noted how the legislative analysis did not factor in the states where a 12-month fishing license was successful – focusing only on what could go wrong and never mentioning the upside of enacting such a policy.

Two more states, interestingly enough, have, within weeks of The Log’s coverage, adopted a 12-month fishing license scheme. Those See STANDING WATCH page 7

FAST FACTS: Huntington Harbour stays under the radar

On Board With Johnsonby J.R. Johnson

HUNTINGTON HARBOUR — The Log covers quite a bit of territory when it comes to news coverage and the occasional feature story. One area rarely caught on our editorial radar is Huntington Harbour.

Construction on Orange County’s northwestern-most marina began about 55 years ago, with a price tag of about $200 million - or about $1.6 billion in today’s dollars, when adjusted for inflation.

Huntington Harbour was built on the former site of the Sunset Bay Estuary wetlands; within its confines are five man-made islands: Admiralty, Davenport, Gilbert, Humboldt and Trinidad.

Surrounding the harbor and man-made islands are Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, the Naval Weapons Station in neighboring Seal Beach and a stretch of Pacific Coast Highway.

However the area we now know as Huntington Harbour could have played out a little differently, based on information provided in a community profile published by the Los Angeles Times in September 1988.

File photo

By Parimal M. Rohit

Huntington Harbour was originally a swamp property owned by Phillip Stanton, a one-time Assembly member who is also the namesake of the city of Stanton. The former legislator hoped to convert the swamp into another Atlantic City.

Henry Huntington of Huntington Beach fame would purchase the marshland from Stanton in 1901, according to the Los Angeles Times profile.

It wasn’t until 1963, however, that Christiana Corp. would oversee the creation of five manmade islands and overall development of Huntington Harbour. Orange County’s northwestern-most harbor is now home to waterfront homes, marinas, a fuel dock, boating activities and personal watercraft rentals.

Standing Watch From page 6

states are Kansas and Nevada. Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and Utah also have 12-month fishing licenses available for anglers.

Roughly one-dozen states have adopted a licensing plan to allow anyone fishing within its borders to do so for 365 consecutive days – trendsetting California is not one of them.

Angling advocates, naturally, have used the state’s inaction on fishing license policy to explain why the number of people dropping baited lines into the water has consistently declined since 1980.

A State Senate legislative analysis, coincidentally, did acknowledge California’s current calendar based fishing license system could be a reason for dwindling angling participation, but added the addition of Marine Protected Areas up and down the Pacific Coast might also be a factor.

The fact still remains a California fishing license will expire on Dec. 31, regardless of when it was purchased.

We’re a little more than 30 days into 2018 but anyone in California who buys a fishing license will have paid the same amount as someone else who made a similar purchase at the beginning of the year – and both licenses will expire on the same day.

Meanwhile a column featured in Las

Vegas Review-Journal (posted online Jan. 10) stated Nevada’s new 365-day fishing license streamlines how the Silver State conducts business with anglers.

“Creation of these 365-day licenses is part of what the Nevada Department of Wildlife calls license simplification,” C. Douglas Nielsen wrote in his Daily Journal column.

Kansas, just the same, enacted its 12-month fishing license scheme as part of “an effort to better serve license buyers,” the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism stated on its website. The 12-month fishing license option was offered to anglers and others at no additional cost.

So the question still remains whether California would move forward with a proposal with no known or formal opposition, especially when other states appear to be getting on the 12-month fishing license bandwagon.

There is still some hope in the form of Assembly Bill 986 (AB 986), which Assembly members approved in late January. The bill proposes to adopt a 12-month fishing license for veterans – though it is interesting to see a limited proposal move through the legislature only 4 months after the broader plan failed to make it to the governor’s desk.

Perhaps AB 986, which is currently in the State Senate, could be a gateway to eventually transition to a 12-month fishing license for all?

TAKE ACTION SB 187 might have been shot down in September 2017 but it’s not too late to still chime in on the merits of a 12-month fishing license for California anglers. AB 986 (introduced by Assembly member James Gallagher last year) is actively being considered by State Senators. Meanwhile SB 187 is now revisited as Senate Bill 518. Reaching out to the following policymakers and lobbyists could make all the difference in the world.

But smaller scale doesn’t preclude smaller ships, especially the newer ones, from offering special features.

Ponant is launching two new ships this year, Le Laperouse and Le Champlain, with a lounge called the Blue Eye. Located beneath the water line of the ship, the Blue Eye will have two windows and digital screens showing images from underwater cameras, and it will also transmit underwater sounds and vibrations.

A ship coming out in 2019 from AmaWaterways, the AmaMagna, will have a built-in expedition platform for water sports, making it easy for guests to use paddleboards, Zodiacs or kayaks.

Explore Africa’s splendor on a month-long cruise BANJUL, Gambia (AP) — One way to see Africa: on a month-long cruise.

A trip by ship departing from Lisbon traced Portuguese exploration, European colonization and the slave trade. Ports of call included Madeira, the Canary Islands, Cape Verde, Senegal, Gambia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Sao Tome, Angola, Namibia and South Africa.

The trip was emotional at times as passengers learned about the horrors of the slave trade and European colonialism. But shore excursions also offered adventure and fun, including a gambol in Gambia.

The visit to Gambia’s capital, Banjul (ban-JAWL), involved a boat ride in a pirogue (pih-ROHG), a visit with school kids and a beach barbecue.

Shore excursions booked through cruise lines can be pricey. Passengers can usually find bargains booking tours on their own with local vendors.

Proper life jacket use saves four in Gulf of Mexico CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) — The Coast Guard was crediting proper life jacket use for helping save the lives of four people who were thrown from their boat when it capsized in the Gulf of Mexico near Port O’Conner.

A Coast Guard helicopter recovered three of the people and a family member in another boat, according to reports, recovered a fourth.

Coast Guard Cmdr. Keith Pierre said the 20-foot boat was equipped properly with life jackets and the people all were wearing the devices when the craft capsized Saturday about 17 miles south of Pass Cavello off Matagorda Island.

The three people taken by helicopter were treated by emergency medical crews at the Victoria Regional Airport. All four of the people pulled from the water are reported in good condition.

STATE San Onofre nuclear plant reaches $775 million settlement SAN ONOFRE, California (AP) — The Southern California utilities that oversaw a nuclear plant that was shut down reached a $775 million settlement with attorneys representing consumers who felt they were footing too much of the bill for the closure.

The announced settlement by the San Onofre nuclear plant’s majority owner Southern California Edison and minority owner San Diego Gas & Electric would translate to a savings of about $68 per residential customer in the next four years.

The twin-domed seaside plant between Los Angeles and San Diego was closed in 2012 after a small radiation leak led to the discovery of extensive damage to hundreds of tubes inside virtually new steam generators.

That shutdown was supposed to be temporary, but San Onofre was shuttered for good in 2013 after a fight with environmentalists over whether it was safe to restart.

The settlement revises an agreement approved in 2014 by state regulators on the closure of San Onofre that said customers would pay $3.3 billion of the $4.7 billion in estimated costs from the closure.

“We are pleased to be able to bring closure to this issue,” Edison President Ron Nichols said in a statement. “The parties undertook extensive efforts over many months to reach agreement and SCE looks forward to timely regulatory approval.”

San Diego law firm Aguirre & Severson filed a lawsuit on behalf of the utility’s customers after that agreement, saying it stuck them with too much of the bill.

“This is great news for ratepayers,” Maria Severson, an attorney representing the consumers, said. “It was the courage of the federal-court plaintiffs and their willingness to go to court that made this happen.”

The deal still needs approval from regulators.

Report: West Coast shark attacks rose in 2017 LOS ANGELES (AP) — A new report says shark attacks rose last year on the West Coast.

The Shark Research Committee reported there were nine unprovoked attacks in 2017 –eight in California and one in Washington. That’s up from five the year before.

Nobody died but some people were bitten.

The committee said most attacks probably involved great white sharks. In a March attack captured on video, a great white attacked a kayak in Monterey Bay, knocking the kayaker into the water.

Committee founder Ralph Collier told the Orange County Register that kayaks topped the target list. He said the sharks may have seen them as intruders and were trying to drive them away.

Collier added he’s surprised there weren’t more attacks because the shark population has spiked in recent years.

Application specifically seeks about $97,000 for shellfish farming.

By Parimal M. Rohit

VENTURA — The Ventura Port District’s Board of Port Commissioners green-lit a request to apply for nearly $100,000 in grant funding for a proposed shellfish farm project in the Santa Barbara Channel.

Ventura Port District is specifically seeking $97,310 from the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission; commissioners authorized the pursuit of funds at their Jan. 24 meeting.

The grant funding, if approved for the port district, would be for one year and run from April 1 to March 31, 2019.

A port district staff report stated the funds, if awarded, would be used to support environmental consulting services in relation to regulatory review and submission of permit applications.

Plans for the shellfish farms call for 20 100-acre growing areas in federal waters near Ventura Harbor, according to port district staff. The district must obtain entitlements and permits before beginning mussel farm operations.

Pursuing aquaculture opportunities in the Ventura region, according to port district staff, would help create

Legislative Update From page 11

An Office of Sustainable Outdoor Recreation would, among other things, develop data on economic impact, recommend policies to increase access to amenities, collaborate with local and state agencies to foster recreation tourism and engage in public lands management.

The bill would also establish an advisory committee populated by members of businesses catering to the outdoor recreation market, nonprofits and local and regional tourism organizations. Representatives from the Department of Parks and Recreation, State Department of Education, California Health and Human Services Agency and Visit California would also serve on the advisory committee, according to the language of AB 1918.

Funding for the office would come from private and public sources, according to the bill; the state legislature would ultimately determine how the office is funded.

AB 1918 stated the outdoor recreational economy contributes about $92 billion to California’s economy and directly supports 691,000 jobs.

“California’s outdoor recreation economy is the largest in the nation,” Garcia’s bill declared. “California’s parks, beaches, forests, natural reserves, and other public spaces for outdoor recreation are a key driver for national and international tourism to California.

jobs and increase the domestic supply of seafood.

“More than 90 percent of seafood consumed in the United States is imported, and of that amount, more than half of imported seafood is from overseas aquaculture,” port district staff stated in a report to commissioners. “The United States ranks only fifteenth in aquaculture job production despite possessing the largest exclusive economic zone in the world.”

The Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries hope to fund various aquaculture pilot programs – such as Ventura Port District’s shellfish farming project, potentially – to ramp up the U.S.’s seafood production.

NOAA Fisheries and the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission are primarily targeting projects on shellfish and seaweed, according to port district staff.

The deadline for submissions was Feb. 1; project finalists should be selected by April 1.

Ventura Shellfish Enterprises would be one of the beneficiaries of grant funding, should the port district be awarded the requested $97,310. The company plans to grow and produce Mediterranean mussel via submerged long line.

“The mussels will be grown and har-

vested by grower/ producers and landed at Ventura Harbor. Cultivating mussels off the California coast is in keeping with federal policy to improve domestic food security. This project is supported, in part, through the NOAA Sea Grant program, the goal of which is to contribute to ‘a safe, secure and sustainable supply of seafood to meet public demand,’” Ventura Port District hopes to receive a $97,310 grant to help fund its offshore port district staff shellfish farm project. stated in its grant application to Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission. product marketing.”

“The project is designed to allow for Four tasks would be covered by participation by potential growers who the grant funds, should the requested might otherwise be precluded because $97,310 be awarded to the port district: of the significant associated costs and meeting and agency coordination; regulatory hurdles of obtaining the develop a list of best management required government approvals,” port practices; draft permit language and district staff continued. “The project special conditions; and, draft/review will create economies of scale that monitoring plans. allow individual grower/producers to Efforts to bring aquaculture to the benefit from centralized environmental Ventura Harbor area have been afoot monitoring, product safety testing, and since 2015.

“Encouraging sustainable recreation practices will help grow the economic development potential of the outdoor recreation economy and enable wise public lands management decisions,” the bill continued. “Preserving a healthy outdoor recreation economy is vital for California and can particularly support rural communities that are gateways to outdoor recreation locations and opportunities.”

Garcia’s bill is likely to be heard in its first committee in late February.

SB 602 – Sport and Commercial Marine Fisheries Meanwhile State Sens. Ben Allen, D-Santa Monica, and Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, hope their proposal to require annual reports on the state’s sport and commercial marine fisheries would gain traction before the current legislative session ends.

Allen and Wiener introduced Senate Bill 602 (SB 602) in February 2017; it was originally introduced as a pesticides labeling bill but updated to cover the Department of Fish and Wildlife’s reporting requirements on the status of California’s sport and commercial marine fisheries.

SB 602 would specifically require the DFW report to be completed on or after Jan. 1, 2019.

Allen ordered the original version of SB 602 inactive in June 2017; the bill was reactivated and amended on Jan. 22.

The Vaquita’s Final Cry for Survival: Fleeting Attempt to Save the Critically Endangered Species from Extinction

By Devon Warren GULF OF CALIFORNIA — An elusive and small marine mammal in the cetacean family, the vaquita porpoise – translating to “little cow” in Spanish – was not even discovered by humans until 1958, proof of their quiet presence.

Sadly, they are currently one of the most critically endangered species in the world and their existence may be wiped out only 50 years after humans even realized they were here in the first place.

At one time hundreds of vaquitas swan the ocean, then it was dozens, and now only a few are left behind. In November 2017, VaquitaCPR led a mission to rescue the last of the vaquitas, which scientists estimate is in numbers below 30. According to The Marine Mammal Center, the vaquita’s population, which is commonly found off the Gulf of California coast nowadays has declined 92 percent since 1997. To the dismay of many who participated, the results of the rescue attempt ended in heartache.

Captive Breeding In order to begin a captive breeding program, a female vaquita porpoise was captured and transferred in a pen.

Initially, the vaquita appeared fine, but events took a turn for the worst when she started showing signs of stress. The VaquitaCPR team decided it would be best for the porpoise to be re-released into the wild. As she was released, the vaquita swam out of her pen back into the ocean, and then took a strong turn, seeming disoriented. The vaquita died due to a heart attack from stress, and even though great lengths were made to revive her, it was too late. Darkness once again was cast onto the vaquita population.

“When the death of the vaquita occurred, we released a public statement urging for the program to end,” Amey Owen of Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) tells The Log. In the statement by AWI, several concerning aspects of the program were discussed, mainly, “the loss of a reproductive female is catastrophic for the species’ future.” Concerns were also raised about a vaquita calf that was captured and then released due to stress; it is unknown how the attempt impacted the vaquita calf.

The statement continues, “While our organization acknowledges that the VaquitaCPR program was borne out of a desperate yet well-intentioned desire to save the species, we believe that given the extreme risks involved, the vaquita

in the prices of seafood at restaurants and markets.

Would most Americans go for this to save one species?

As can be seen by the current political climate amid name-calling, threats, and more, there seems to be a lack of humanity concerning the lives of other creatures – a choice to treat another, human or not, as if it is inanimate, an insignificant thing that gets in the way of human corruption, greed, and reason. In this story, the bottom line is that profits from illegal fishing operations trumped One of the last vaquita porpoises, a critically endangered species and most endangered marine creature, comes up for air in its native habitat. the interests of protecting a small porpoise whose eating habits and lifestyle interfered. Unfortunately, the vaquita porpoise was a casualty of this way of thinking.

Sands of time are running out on the marine mammal, which has suffered harm from gillnets, illegal fishing practices and human greed.

capture plans must be brought to an immediate halt. These tiny porpoises do not respond well to the stress of capture, and not a single additional vaquita should be deliberately put in danger this way.”

International Efforts June of 2017 saw Canada, the United States, and Mexico work together resulting in Mexico’s temporary ban on gillnets, a major cause of vaquita deaths; with the vaquita population so low already and natural issues, such as climate change and predators, there is no margin for additional failure. While banning the gillnets is a first step, the illegal fishing practices that still exist, caused mainly by a high demand for fish bladders in China, which are believed to have medicinal benefits though there is a lack of scientific proof to back this belief. The highly prized fish bladders of totoaba are larger than most fish and, an endangered species as well, they share waters with the vaquita that often get mixed in with the harvesting of totoaba.

Bringing the vaquita population back from this point would indeed be a miraculous feat, but not one that is

completely impossible. A classic story of a creature on the brink of extinction was the California condor. With the help of a captive breeding program, the California condor was able to get numbers in the 20s back into the 1000s.

However, if the vaquita porpoise cannot be held for a captive breeding program, then what is next?

“On November 21, AWI, the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Center for Biological Diversity filed a legal notice pressing the US government to ban seafood caught from Mexico’s Upper Gulf of California in an effort to save the last remaining vaquita porpoises,” Owen states.

Among the most grisly practices that have impacted the vaquita population is the dangerous gillnet usage. Vaquitas become entrapped in gillnets, ultimately drowning. AWI has also launched the Boycott Mexican Shrimp Campaign.

“The campaign [Boycott Mexican Shrimp] was launched in March 2017 to pressure Mexican officials to permanently ban all dangerous gillnets in the vaquita habitat, step up enforcement and remove illegal nets from the water.”

While a ban on shrimp would protect the vaquita, this would likely see a rise

Victim of Darwinism?

Some might be quick to blame Darwinism: Maybe the vaquita just isn’t cut out for a world filled with illegal fishing traps, climate change, difficulty with reproduction – and those are just a handful of major threats that have gone against the vaquita porpoise. With such a critically endangered species, it is difficult to study how it contributes to the marine’s ecosystem, but just because something is small does not mean it does not have value.

In a study published by Springer Science+Business Media in 2012, it states, “The vaquita, like marine and coastal birds, plays a small role in the ecosystem, but like them, it does contribute substantially to ecosystem organization.”

To make sure the vaquita does not join the ranks of extinction due to over-hunting/fishing as fellow marine mammal the Caribbean monk seal, declared officially extinct in 2008, it is up to the coastal communities to pass on facts regarding the plight of the vaquita.

For now the vaquita clings to its survival until further strides are taken to completely protect it. As organizations such as AWI work towards a solution in the final hour, we wait to see if a plan can be presented that begins to recover the vaquitas lost. Human intervention is needed more than ever to keep the current waters vaquitas swim in from further disturbances, so they will be able to reproduce and re-populate as captive breeding programs no longer appear to be a viable or safe option. VaquitaCPR, even in the failure of the mission, urges us to sing the song of the vaquita.

Are harbors still home to frequent off-the-radar charter services? What are policymakers doing about it?

By Parimal M. Rohit and Devon Warren

ORANGE COUNTY — Anytime appears to be a good time to hop aboard a boat to catch some fish or watch whales bob in and out of the water. Whether these excursions happen aboard a legal charter service remains to be a controversial issue. The Log, with some consistency, receives complaints or questions about the extent of illegal charter operations at local harbors. Such questions have often resulted in coverage of what boaters must do to abide with local or federal regulations. We’ve also explored what some agencies (such as the Coast Guard) hope to accomplish in cracking down on illegal charter operations.

Questions of how illegal charter operations are managed in Orange County – specifically Dana Point Harbor – were recently brought to The Log’s attention. Answers are still being sought, yet a discussion could still be hard – especially in the context of informing consumers of what to pay attention to whenever they board a sixpack or other charter for the purpose of catching some yellowtail or interacting with whales.

Going Rogue?

Dana Point Harbor is home to “rogue” charters, according the Dana Wharf website.

“Beware of ‘rogue’ charter boats!

Make sure your charter boat has insurance,” the website’s section on charter rentals stated.

The notice, written with a mix of red and black letters, also lists the locations where customers can board legal charter boats (whether six-pack or otherwise): Dana Wharf, Dick Simon Yachts, Dream Catcher Yachts and Mariner’s Yacht Charters.

Chartering a boat from any other

location in Dana Point Harbor could mean it’s illegal, Dana Wharf staff stated.

Dana Wharf’s online, public notice cited Orange County Code of Regulations, Section 2-2-204-C-2, which discusses prohibited uses at Dana Point Harbor. The cited regulation specifically states commercial uses, such as charter services, can only operate at Dana Point Harbor with a county-issued license or permit.

Donna Kalez, Dana Wharf’s general manager, said she believes there’s certainly illegal charter activity at Orange County’s southernmost harbor.

“There are many boats that are not legit and don’t have a location but are just advertising a dock. We would like to see the county crack down ASAP on this continued problem,” Kalez told The Log in an email. “If [the customer is] just paying a random person for a charter that is illegal.”

County Regulations The Log reached out to O.C. Parks for some perspective on whether the county had any working knowledge of charter activities within Dana Point Harbor. Were there individuals taking people out on sportfishing or whalewatching trips for a fee but not fulfilling any licensing or permitting requirements? What regulations – in addition to County Code Section 2-2-204-C-2 – does Orange County have in place to govern charter services? What is the process to obtain a charter?

Orange County officials have not yet responded to The Log’s questions, though a public information officer with O.C. Parks informed us they would provide answers after doing some research.

Failing to regulate illegal charters translates into lost revenue, as Orange County officials miss out on collecting permitting fees or taxes from “rogue” charter services.

Illegal Charters: Elusive Activity or Lax Regulations?

Cities, counties and federal agencies have struggled to regulate illegal charter activities in various harbors and marinas. Are illegal charters reaching a fever pitch, particularly for those who follow all the proper guidelines and regulations?

water. The Log has previously reported on recreational boats offered for rent on popular websites such as AirBnB and VRBO. A recent check of short-term boat rentals (30-day rental or less) on AirBnB showed several boats available in Newport Beach.

One posting offered a Formula 330 SS in Newport Beach at $1,040 for 4 hours. The rate jumped to $1,240 for 6 hours and $1,540 for 8 hours. A captain could be hired at $40 per hour. Renting the boat with twin engines (500 horsepower each) did not include fuel costs.

Another post offered a 40-foot sailboat in Newport Beach Harbor for $195 per night.

No boat rentals appeared to be available in Dana Point Harbor, based upon a recent search on AirBnB and VRBO. Short-term vacation rentals are generally regulated at the city level, though local and regional policymakers still appear to be figuring out how best to legislate the activity – both on land and water.

Santa Barbara Harbor Charter operations proved to be a hot topic at a recent Santa Barbara Harbor Commission meeting, as the advisory board voted not to renew a charter permit for a boating excursion business operated by one Paul Noury.

An excursion operated by Noury

reportedly caused more than $21,000 worth of damage to Stearns Wharf and threw three passengers overboard.

“Mr. Noury clearly exhibited reckless boating behavior,” Harbor Manager Mick Kronman told The Log, adding this kind of situation was certainly not the norm.

At Santa Barbara Harbor, 12 private charter operations are allowed to run.

Smaller chartered operations are in direct competition with some of the larger business such as SEA Landing, who pays a lot of money to operate in comparison with the smaller private businesses.

Kronman added his department reviews an applicant’s entire history before deciding whether to grant a charter permit to a business.

“We only allow permits to those who can uphold [boating operations] to an exemplary fashion. People’s lives are in your hands.”

The harbor director referred to the Noury case as an example of what charter operations should avoid doing and why cities and counties regulate such activities. Noury, in the Stearns Wharf incident, reportedly entered the harbor at 20 knots and collided with the wharf, causing passengers to fall into the water. He then reportedly fled the scene of the crash during the busy summer hours in July. Waterfront Department staff added Noury did not report his annual profits for 10 years.

Port of L.A. Harbor Commission accused of lacking transparency, failing to protect historic buildings and nepotism.

By Devon Warren

SAN PEDRO— For anyone who has seen “The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” Carol Kane’s rambunctious Lillian Kaushtupper stands for many lifelong residents who live in colorful parts of town, complete with graffiti, pollution and decrepit housing, but adamantly oppose any alterations that could change his or her beloved hometown, faults and all, to a comical extent.

Plans to demolish Ports O’ Call Village, a beloved local hangout, in order to build the new, stylish and gentrified San Pedro Public Market have seen an emotional outburst from members of the community as well as the Port of Los Angeles Harbor Commission.

Construction on the planned San Pedro Public Market, which is expected to replace Ports O’ Call Village, will soon be under construction. The city of Los Angeles plans to spend $100 million on building a Fisherman Wharfstyle waterfront marketplace in the shadows of the Vincent Thomas Bridge by 2020.

The Presentation Public outcry toward the planned San Pedro Public Market was quite apparent during the Port of Los Angeles Harbor Commission’s Jan. 25 meeting, as local residents spoke out in many personal and emotional accounts of how the renovations of San Pedro Public Market would affect them.

Eugene Seroka, Executive Director, was the first speaker to introduce the presentation. Seroka regarded the situation that had developed with the current tenants at Ports O’ Call as painful and stated this presentation was an effort to “set the record straight,” as the Harbor Commission had been criticized several times for not being transparent.

All tenants in the area have held month-to-month leases since 2014.

While the tenants were disappointed and felt the lack of transparency was unfair, the renovations were mostly desired by the locals and once the process was put in motion it was only a matter of time before construction threatened businesses.

To clarify the plan and acknowledge at least 12 meetings had been held over the years to encourage transparent involvement from the community, Michael Galvin, Director of Waterfront and Commercial Real Estate, gave a PowerPoint presentation outlining the next steps in a detailed, but at times hard-to-follow, presentation.

Among the decision that most devastated locals was the decision not to incorporate the popular Ports O’ Call waterfront restaurant in the current renovation plans. Several members of the community expressed their sorrow regarding the selection process of which tenants will stay and which will go.

While Port of Los Angeles has collectively offered to work with tenants who will be displaced, many have not taken up the agency’s offer.

Dock Lines With Capt. Nicole

Dealing with fuel spills Story and photo by Capt. Nicole Sours Larson SAN DIEGO — The knock on our hull came early one morning. A fuel slick was spreading on our dock, engulfing our boat. Were we the source of the spill?

We quickly determined our boat was not the origin. A boat three slips down the dock caused the contamination. The owner, we learned, had fueled his boat the night before and overfilled his tanks, causing diesel to leak out his overflow vent. Fortunately the marina staff – trained in spill management and cleanup – responded rapidly at first notice of the slick, promptly stopping and containing its spread.

If you do cause a spill, make calling your marina staff a priority. If you don’t know how to deal with the problem, they’ll be able to guide you.

“The important thing is to report the spill, stop it and contain it,” explained Adam Veves, dockmaster of Shelter Island’s Kona Kai Marina. “We keep on hand a supply of absorbent pads, booms, diapers and emergency pumps.

No matter what the size of the spill we call the National Response Center (at

Educate yourself about appropriate techniques in case you ever have to deal with a spill. Cal Boating’s website at BoatingCleanandGreen.com, under the heading Clean and Safe Boating Practices for Boaters and Anglers, provides excellent tutorials on fueling, bilge care and preventing spills, plus informative videos.

Most important is preventing spills or leaks initially. If you’re a new boater or inexperienced in fueling your boat, be sure to view Cal Boating’s video on clean fueling practices. Don’t hesitate to ask fuel dock staff about best fueling practices. They want to avoid spills, too.

It’s not just fueling that produces spills or leaks – many of the slicks seen around marinas result from poorly maintained engines leaking motor or transmission oil into the bilge. It’s then pumped out with any accumulated bilge water. If you know your bilge is full of oily water, turn the pump switch from automatic to manual to avoid oily discharge. Find the source and repair whatever is causing fuel or engine oil leaks.

Cal Boating recommends using absorbent pads, sheets, “socks” or

800-424-8802) and report it as soon as possible.”

Representatives of the center show up quickly to oversee the spill’s cleanup, he added.In addition, according to the spill response instructions laid out in the Marinas and Yacht Clubs Spill Response Communications Packet, prepared by Cal Boating (officially the Division of Boating & Waterways), the person causing the spill must notify the California Office of Emergency Services at 800852-7550 or 800-OILS911 and local emergency services at 911. Expect to fill out reports for these agencies.

Do not, under any circumstances, try to disperse a slick with detergent or soap. It damages the environment and its use is illegal.

Marinas and response centers understand that accidents do happen – but don’t try to cover them up.

Arv does all our engine work, always spreading absorbent sheets under the engines to catch drips. When he’s done he bags the absorbent material and discards it through a collection center. Ask your marina or fuel dock about the nearest collection site or contact your county household hazardous collection waste center. Listings are online at CalRecyle. ca; search on hazardous waste.

It’s wise to prepare for emergencies.

Keep well stocked with varied absorbent materials. With sound maintenance practices, you may never need to use them.

Catalina Connection Popular dime-novel author’s writing led to bison arrival on Catalina

By Devon Warren CATALINA ISLAND — At the turn of the century, “pulp fiction” or “dime novels” were all the rage as, similar to bingewatching programs on streaming services, Americans found their entertainment in reading cheap, adventure novels that allowed for readers to get caught up in the fantasy of what it might be like to be a cowboy or Native American.

Zane Grey was a popular genre writer of Westerns, who held an interest in the subject of his writing and enjoyed life on Catalina Island. He was a member of Catalina’s Tuna Club and wrote countless books on the subject of fishing, Native Americans and other matters of great outdoor lovers of his time. With his writing, Grey reached millionaire status and he never stopped exploring nature, including Catalina Island.

Grey, who was born Jan. 31, 1872,

made a significant mark on Catalina history when his movie production team filmed the adaptation of his novel “The Vanishing American” in 1924: The arrival of bison!

According to the Catalina Conservancy’s first newsletter, Catalina is an “oceanic” island meaning it was never attached to the mainland island but was always an isolated land mass.

From there, it can be deduced that any animals, plant life or people had to already exist there, sail there, fly there, or be taken there. To some, it may be a curious thing to imagine the bison being a native animal of Catalina Island – and that is because they are not. Fourteen bison were brought there during filming. A sad fact: The bison scene never actually made it into the movie, but was cut instead.

Catalina bison, which the Catalina Conservancy works to ensure coincide with over 60 native species of plants and animals, now has a herd that is

capped out at 150. A birth contraception plan includes annual “inoculation” of all female bison to keep the herd from growing any larger preventing health problems, starvation from Zane Grey, author and lover of island life in Catalina, poses with a baby koala bear on lack of food an excursion to Australia. resources, and infringement on native island inhabitants. and fascinating part of Catalina’s Grey, whose written works still surhistory. vives him and can be found for free all over the internet, also can be credited Article written with sources from with the legacy of bringing the bison to Catalina Conservancy and Zane Grey Catalina Island — just another unusual publications.

San Diego Maritime Museum curates artwork of famed nautical photographers

By Devon Warren

SAN DIEGO — A special photography exhibition – Wind & Water: Sailing in San Diego – will open at Maritime Museum of San Diego on March 4. At the center of the exhibit is the photography of Bobby Grieser, a San Diego resident for many years and passionate sailor, and Mark Albertazzi, who was a close friend of Grieser and a talented photographer in his own right. The photographs displayed at this exhibit will put viewers into the shoes of the sailors who have had a lifelong zest for adventure and feel at home on the sea.

This impressive and inspiring collection of photographs from such events as America’s Cup to vessels considered historic being sailed recreationally capture the moments sailors live for with the wind blowing through their hair as they compete in renowned sailing events, including a rare collection of historic, classic and wooden yachts racing in San Diego.

President and CEO of the Maritime Museum of San Diego, Dr. Raymond Ashley, PhD, K.C.I., describes the exhibit in a press release as “a passionate example for both sailing and photography fostered by a deep friendship with two of the industry’s most renowned nautical photographers.”

“Chesapeake Bay,” an art and coffee table book featuring his black and white photography, which then resulted in an exhibition called Capturing the Spirit of the Chesapeake Bay. About one year ago, Grieser passed away at 70. His Cotton Blossom II, Dennis Conner’s 1924 sailboat, is launched in 2004 after completing renovations. obituary by the Los Angeles Times also attests to his funCelebrating a Legend loving character: “He barked at seven Presidents, the Queen and the Pope.

Those who gaze upon Albertazzi’s photos will notice how many of the shots are very active and have an almost painterly quality as he sites he was heavily influenced by maritime painters like Edward Hopper and James Edward Buttersworth.

Albertazzi has been an advertising agency principal and creative director for over 30 years, using his design experience in creating captivating photography. In addition to his photography, Albertazzi has crafted advertising campaigns for international brands like Callaway Golf, Reebok, Sony and BMW, collaborating with some of the industry’s best commercial photographers and directors.

A sailor for a good portion of his life, Albertazzi’s keen knowledge of boating has lead him to capture amazing photographs of not just yachts but crew workers, active boating shots and natural elements.

This exhibit will be held inside Star of India, the world’s oldest active sailing ship, in the Hold Gallery and will be included with general admission. Visitors can purchase tickets online at sdmaritime.org, call 619234-9153 ext.101 or visit the Maritime Museum of San Diego Ticket Booth and Gift Shop located on the North Embarcadero in downtown San Diego.

Classics – Swift of Ipswich

By Devon Warren In this feature, The Log looks at notable boats — sail and power — that continue to turn heads in Southern California harbors.

Boat name: Swift of Ipswich Length: 70 ft.

Draft: 9 ft.

Beam: 18.2 ft.

Year Built: 1938 The Back Story: Swift of Ipswich, which is currently owned by Los Angeles Maritime Institute, is a topsail schooner. Some might say she is a true American classic — and they would be right since Swift of Ipswich is modeled after a notable boat sharing her name. Built as a replica of an American privateer (also named Swift) captured by the British Royal Navy during the Revolutionary War, Howard I. Chapelle designed her and she was built in Robinson’s Boatyard in Ipswich, Massachusetts.

Beginnings at Robinson’s Boatyard: William A. Robison was an accomplished boating engineer from Kenosha, Wisconsin. At the age of 25, Robinson sailed around the world and then he ran his business Robinson’s Boatyard in Ipswich, nestled along Fox Creek, which filled rapidly and allowed for vessel passage. Some say this route was used as early as the 1600s.

A notable boatyard, the onset of WWII lead Robinson to begin building minesweepers and a landing craft in

preparation for D-Day. Swift of Ipswich was Robinson’s was built for his personal use as originally the boatyard specialized in building wooden boats before the war.

After a bitter divorce, Robinson abandoned his boatyard and moved to Tahiti; there is not much left of it, but Robinson’s Boatyard site is considered a historical landmark and can be visited today.

A Slice of History: In the 1950s, James Cagney, an American actor known for such movies as “Yankee Doodle Dandy” and renowned for his dancing abilities as well as his recognizable New York accent, purchased Swift of Ipswich to use as his personal yacht. Cagney moved the yacht to Newport Beach in 1958, using it for harbor cruises and the like. Around that time the ship was featured in a number of films as well.

Retirement: Swift of Ipswich was acquired by the Los Angeles Maritime Institute in San Pedro in 1991 and eventually became a part of the institute’s TopSail Program, which allowed students with learning disabilities to facilitate hands-on training to “become healthy, productive adults.” Though her days setting sail are no more, Swift of Ipswich has seen some of her most impres-

sive duties helping to train at-risk youths.

Obstacles and the Race to Save Swift: Capt. Bruce Heyman, the director at Los Angeles Maritime Institute, told The Log, “We were making great progress from about Dec. 1 2013 until Feb. 15, 2015. At that time we ran low on funds and had to deal with the financial reality of our core business … Right now, we are working to raise $550,000; that is our current estimate to complete the job. Once we have those funds, we expect we would be able to complete the restoration in 18 months.” To learn more about Swift of Ipswich, please visit lamitopsail.org.

San Diego Yacht Club

Sailing

San Diego Yacht Club will host the Midwinter Regatta for sailors in the Pac52 and TP52 class this year as well as special guest Sir Ben Aislie, one of the biggest names in sailing. Sir Ainslie has won the America’s Cup sailing event in the past among other notable accomplishments in the boating world.

San Diego Yacht Club hosts America’s Cup winner Sir Ben Ainslie

By Devon Warren

STATEWIDE—One of the most anticipated sailing events, Midwinter Regatta, is coming up and there have been several exciting developments – including the participation of one of the biggest names in sailing.

San Diego Yacht Club (SDYC) will host Pac52/ Transpac 52 (TP52) and British competitor, Sir Ben Ainslie, who championed America’s Cup, one of oldest and most prestigious yachting events, competing since 1851.

Sir Ainslie announced his team will be joining the TP52 Class of racing boats hosted by SDYC for the weekend of Feb. 10. He is one of the top sailors of this generation, born in 1977, has won more consecutive medals than any other sailor participating in the Olympics and is a member of the Royal Lymington Yacht Club.

Registered through Royal Thames Yacht Club, Sir Ainslie is competing under skipper Tony Langley with the Land Rover BAR Gladiator.

“This is indeed a big recognition for our corner of the sailboat-racing world to have such a namesake in our sport participating in such a prestigious event,” Themis Z. Glatman, Chairperson for the 2018 edition of the Midwinter Regatta, said.

In March of 2013, Ainslie was knighted for his

achievements in sailing prior to his America’s Cup win in a moment he called “the proudest day of my life.”

The Southern California Yachting Association (SCYA) Midwinters, hosted by SDYC on Feb 10-11, will include Pac52s and TP52s, which is collaboration between Acapulco TP52, the Pac52 Class and other West Coast US-based 52s. While initially there were not as many 52-foot vessels signed up to compete, the entries have grown to at least nine teams.

A concept developed late last year, this event serves as a pre-season warm up for the popular Puerto Vallarta Race, taking place in 2018 during early March.

In 2017, the 52s did not race and with the entry of Sir Ainslie, it should make for an exciting event to see the larger sailing yachts competing against each other.

Celebrating almost 90 years and taking place the weekends of Feb. 10-11 and Feb. 17-18, SCYA

predicts more than 30 yacht clubs, 600 boats and more than 2500 sailors competing.

Congressional Cup returns with double round-robin format

San Diego Yacht Club honored by U.S. Sailing National association recognizes Southern California club with National One-Design Club Award.

By Parimal M. Rohit

BRISTOL, Rhode Island — The nation’s largest sailing association formally recognized San Diego Yacht Club with the National One-Design Club Award, Jan. 29; it was the only honor bestowed upon a California sailor or yacht club.

U.S. Sailing announced the 2017 Community Sailing and National OneDesign winners, Jan. 29; the awards recognize sailors, yacht clubs and sailing organizations for their respective contributions to sailing in the United States.

An awards reception to formally recognize the honorees was held Feb. 1 at the Sailing Leadership Forum at St. Pete Beach, Florida.

San Diego YC earned the National One-Design Club Award for the third time. The award, according to U.S. Sailing, recognizes “administrative excellence, fleet growth, creative programming, regatta support and member contributions from the onedesign yacht club of the year.”

A statement released by U.S. Sailing

said San Diego YC was honored for revitalizing a struggling but long-established Sir Thomas Lipton Challenge Cup. ““They accomplished this goal by using one-design boats, jump starting the event and renewing interest and participation, while reducing the cost of the event for participants,” U.S. Sailing staff said of San Diego YC’s award.

The yacht club was also recognized for re-launching the International Masters Regatta.

“Following a three-year hiatus and one week prior to the Lipton Cup Regatta, the San Diego Yacht Club re-launched the long established International Masters Regatta,” U.S. Sailing staff stated. “They utilized the same one-design boats to sail both the International Masters Regatta and the Lipton Cup Challenge Regatta.”

Other honorees were Andrew Alletag (Community Boating, Inc., Boston), Erik Skeel (Sail Sand Point in Seattle), Jamie Jones (Hoover Sailing Club in Ohio), Joan Storkman (Gig Harbor Junior Sail Program), Wayzata Community Sailing Center (Wayzata, Minnesota), Sail Nauticus (Norfolk, Virginia), Delavan Lake Yacht Club (Delavan, Wisconsin), Jon VanderMolen (Richland, Michigan) and Don Parfet (Richland, Michigan).

LONG BEACH — British sailor Ian Williams will return to Long Beach to defend his Congressional Cup title, joining some of the biggest names in match racing in mid-April.

In all five of the world’s top 10 ranked match racing skippers will compete against each other (and more) in the 54th running of the Congressional Cup, which will be hosted by Long Beach Yacht Club, April 18-22.

Long Beach YC will also host the Ficker Cup, April 13-15. The Ficker Cup will determine the final two slots of the Congressional Cup. The top 8 finishers will take home a cash prize; first place, for example, earns $16,000, while second and third places earn $14,000 and $11,000, respectively.

The intended course will be off the Belmont Memorial Pier in Long Beach.

Ranked sailors expected to compete in this year’s Long Beach Yacht Club will host the Congressional Cup again.

This year’s race will be a 10-boat, double round-robin format. Teams will be competing against in each other in a one-on-one format, as is usually the case with the annual sailing event.

The double round-robin format would allow teams to face-off against each other twice.

SAN DIEGO — Some of the most recognizable names in competitive sailing are expected to participate in the upcoming 2018 Vallarta Race, a biennial regatta hosted by San Diego Yacht Club.

This year’s race, which begins March 1 at Shelter Island, is expected to be

Racing starts March 1 out of San Diego’s Shelter Island, with the threeday race continuing south toward and to Puerto Vallarta. The first day is open to cruisers, while all other classes hit the water on March 2 and 3.

Teams will finish the race at Punta Mita in Puerto Vallarta’s Banderas Bay and be greeted by food, drinks and a mariachi band. A cocktail party is planned for March 8, followed by an awards party at the Westin Puerto Vallarta, March 9.

Another regatta – MEXORC – will be held at Puerto Vallarta on March 10; some of the Vallarta Race participants are expected to enter in MEXORC. A unique element of this year’s Vallarta Race: the lack of a physical finish line. All finishers will instead cross a “geofence,” or a digital finish line. The line will virtually exist between Punta Mita and Islas Marietas.

YB Tracking will offer friends, family and the sailing community at-large to track the race as teams travel south.

Trackers will be updated hourly, with positions revealed on a four-hour delay.

State Senate to revisit fishing license with SB 518

By Parimal M. Rohit

SACRAMENTO — If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again. The line from William Edward Hickson’s popularization of a proverb could well be a rally cry for State Sen. Tom Berryhill, as the Central California legislator who’s been campaigning for a 12-month fishing license scheme.

Berryhill’s latest attempt – Senate Bill 187 – hit a wall about five months ago, when the Assembly Appropriations Committee held his 12-month fishing license proposal back despite no known opposition throughout the legislative process.

Attempts to shift California’s fishing licensing scheme from a calendar

system to 365-day setup appears to have new life, as Senate Bill 518 was updated as a proposal for 12-month fishing license.

“This legislation aims to increase fishing participation rates, license sales and state revenue by making annual fishing license valid for a full 12-months from the date of purchase at a premium of 130 percent of the annual calendaryear license ($62.86),” the legislation section of California Sportfishing League’s website stated about SB 518.

The Republican legislator from Modesto was actually able to place language similar to SB 187 into SB 518 shortly after the former bill was killed in the Assembly. Berryhill acknowledged the revival of his 12-month fishing license campaign in a September 2017 newsletter to his constituents.

“I’m sad to say SB-187, my bill that would have created a 12-month fishing license, died over in the Assembly.

able to get similar language into a new bill, SB-518. I believe the new language will be able to get a majority of support.

I will be fighting hard for this one next year,” Berryhill said in his legislative update a few months ago.

Orange County’s largest Halibut Derby nears season end Five-month fishing event in Dana Point is on the verge of completing its 10th year.

By Parimal M. Rohit

DANA POINT — Anglers drifting the southern and central Orange County coast for halibut will only have a few more weeks to catch the flatfish and amok the Dana Point Halibut Derby leaderboard.

David Sluder currently sits atop the leaderboard, with his 36-pound, 9-ounce halibut catch; Sluder reeled in his halibut on Dec. 29, 2017.

Two halibut caught on Jan. 14 made the Top 5: Cher Owens’ 32-pound, 4-ounce catch (second place) and Fred Erdmann’s 18-pound, 2-ounce flatfish (fifth).

The five heaviest catches qualify for a jackpot award.

Last year’s first place finisher earned $1,500; the next four top catches received $1,600 combined.

Angler David Mendez finished first in last year’s Halibut Derby with a 32-pound catch.

The 10th annual Dana Point Halibut Derby kicked off Nov. 1, 2017 and continues through March 31. Sluder’s 36-pound, 9-ounce catch is the fish to beat.

Rounding out the Top 5 are Owens, Greg Harrington (25 pounds, 1 ounce, caught Nov. 12, 2017), Carlos De

los Santos (19 pounds, 3 ounces) and Erdmann.

The remainder of the Top 25 catches range from 17 pounds, 4 ounces (Mark Luke) to 10 pounds, 7 ounces (Gino Palma).

Tight lines — By Parimal M. Rohit

Three punished for poaching abalone NORTHERN CALIFORNIA — Two restaurant owners and a poacher caught after a rescue incident were officially fined and penalized for their respective involvements in abalone poaching cases.

Restaurant owners Bryant Chiu Shiu Lee and Steven Yuan Qin Liang both face fines and other penalties for their 2017 convictions surrounding abalone poaching.

Lee, 44, pleaded guilty to “a misdemeanor charge of purchasing abalone for black market resale,” according to a California Department of Fish and Wildlife report. The owner of Sushi Café in Sacramento was ordered to pay a $40,000 fine, placed on 36 months probations and prohibited from obtaining any sort of fishing license for life.

Liang, meanwhile, was ordered to pay a $15,000 fine and placed on 36 months probation after he pleaded guilty to “felony conspiracy involving the purchase and black market sales of sport-caught abalone for personal profit.” The 47-year-old owner of Asian Buffet in Fort Bragg is also banned from obtaining any fishing license for life and ordered to serve 360 days in Mendocino County Jail.

The third abalone poaching case involved a man who had to be rescued

from a cliff.

Mendocino County Sheriff deputies arrested Justin Joseph Adams, 44, in April 2017 after a friend reported him missing near Elk, California. Adams reportedly climbed down a cliff during low tide. His return path, however, was cut off when the tide returned, causing him to not appear at a pre-determined meeting location.

A rescue team was deployed after Adams’ friend called in a missing persons report. Adams was eventually found on the side of a steep cliff, stranded. The subsequent investigation found 38 abalones stashed in two bags, both belonging to Adams.

Adams later pleaded guilty to conspiracy and the taking of abalone for black market sale, according to the Department of Fish and Wildlife.
