Ventura and Channel Islands harbors to miss tall ships visits ‘Hawaiian Chieftan’ and ‘Lady Washington’ are undergoing maintenance in Pacific Northwest. BY PARIMAL M. ROHIT OXNARD — Ventura Harbor and Channel Islands Harbor are starting the new decade with an absence. Tall ships Hawaiian Chieftan and Lady Washington won’t be docked at the two Ventura County harbors, as both vessels will be undergoing major maintenance projects at Grays Harbor Historical Seaport in Aberdeen, Washington. Hawaiian Chieftan and Lady Washington make annual visits to Southern and Central California harbors. One tall ship – Hawaiian Chieftan – will be undergoing extensive repairs until later this year, keeping out of operation for most of 2020. The other tall ship, Lady Washington, was out of the water all of January. “Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftan are aging and that requires more care and attention. We look forward to sailing soon,” Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Executive Director
Brandi Bednarik said. Lady Washington is a replica of the first-ever American ship to round Cape Horn. Hawaiian Chieftan, meanwhile, is a replica of a 103-foot sailing vessel navigating trading routes in the 1800s. Both tall ships, which are managed and maintained by Grays Harbor Historical Seaport, visit various harbors and offer walk-on tours, adventure sails and a passage cruise. Anyone who would like to make a donation to help pay for the maintenance of either or both tall ships can visit www.historicalseaport.org/ support/donate. “We will sorely miss the annual visit from the tall ships because they add tremendous value to our community, particularly with regards to providing tours to our local youth,” Ventura County Harbor Department Director Mark Sandoval said, in a released statement. Grays Harbor Historical Seaport acquired Hawaiian Chieftan in 2005; it was privately owned prior to the sale. Hawaiian Chieftan, which has a steel hull, was originally built in 1988 for Laurence “Baron” Dorcy, Jr., according to Grays Harbor Historical Seaport. Dorcy was the grandson of a railroad tycoon and spent time living in Hawai’i.

Hawaiian Chieftan won’t be visiting Channel Islands Harbor or Ventura Harbor this year, as it’s being repaired in Washington state. She is one of two tall ships to regularly visit the Central California waterfront. Lady Washington was built at Grays Harbor Historical Seaport and launched in 1989. The full-scale replica of the original Lady Washington was built as a brig and appeared in Hollywood productions such as “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.” The original trading
ship arrived in the United States in 1788; Lady Washington was the first American vessel to visit Honolulu and Japan, according to Grays Harbor Historical Seaport. The seaport is located in southwestern Washington, about 110 miles away from Seattle.

Man takes 44-pound catch out for a beer The humorous and strange moment of Riley standing at the bar with the fish and fishing rod waiting for his beer was shared on social media by Midway Marine. Several bemused patrons also snapped photos. According to Daily Mail, Riley got part way through his beer before the bouncers said he couldn’t be sitting around among other drinkers with a fish. Daily Mail reports he went on to cook the monster fish that evening and shared it with 40 travelers on holiday. According to Daily Mail, Rottnest Island is a popular holiday destination for West Australians as it is just a short boat ride from Perth and great spot for fishing and snorkeling. According to Rottnestisland.com, the location is a very popular site

ROTTNEST ISLAND, Australia — A 44-pound fish turned out to be a cheap date for an Australian man who slung the catch over his shoulder as he stopped for a beer at a bar after reeling in the fish near Rottnest Island, off the coast of Perth, Australia. According to an article published by the UK-based Daily Mail, Peter Riley hauled in the huge 44-pound yellowtail amberjack on Jan. 11. According to a local TV news station, 10 Daily, it took Riley and two others 30 minutes to reel the fish in. Riley told 10 Daily he was headed back to his room with the catch tossed over his shoulder when he was feeling thirsty and decided to stop at Rottnest Hotel. He went up to the bar, fish still draped over his shoulder, and ordered a beer.

said migratory fish species found around Rottnest include Australian Herring, Tailor, School Whiting, Skipjack Trevally and Sea Garfish.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—A billion-

San Mateo County for allegedly harassing him and violating his property rights. In his new complaint filed Jan. 24 in San Francisco, Venture capitalist Vinod Khosla accuses top officials with the California Coastal Commission and State Lands Commission of trying to force the billionaire to let the public onto his property to use Martins Beach, the San Francisco

Chronicle reported. The complaint also names San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos Bolanos and Steve Monowitz, the director of the San Mateo County Planning and Building Department, alleging they all engaged in “a concerted effort ... to single out, coerce, and harass one coastal property owner for refusing to cede its private property rights.” It claims the defendants
tried to “strong arm” Khosla into allowing the public “unfettered access (to) private property, without government compensation.” The legal battle dates to 2008, when Khosla - a venture capitalist who co-founded the Silicon Valley technology company Sun Microsystems - bought an 89-acre coastal property for $32.5 million in See NEWS BRIEFS page 23

RE: “Bills to Watch in 2020: War on Single Use Plastics” (Jan. 24-Feb. 6) I am sure that the tyrants in Sacramento are working as hard as they can to tell us how to live our lives, Stalin would be proud. So much for a free country. Munnster RE: “Is managed retreat a viable response to sea level rise?” (Jan. 10-23) Thus far, I have not been able to determine that there is any evidence actual sea level rise exists anywhere in the world. I am not saying it does not, but to the extent I can read and evaluate reports, not yet. Of the many vulnerable areas, two of the widely anticipated early victims were Kiribati and Netherlands. Both are still with us, and Netherlands appears to be surviving quite well, with no land loss for either. Cliff collapse and beach erosion existed in California long before man supposedly produced enough heat to be have an noticeable environmental effect, and I am of the “opinion” (note the quotes for emphasis) that the twin beliefs that we are a sig-
nificant cause/and can reverse global warming (or climate change) is simply hubris and chicanery, often with corrupt motivation. Sure, we can reduce our influence, probably to our own detriment, with little benefit to the environment. I hope any reader paid attention to the separation of what I represent as fact and opinion.

RE: “Port of San Diego hopes to fine-tune in-water hull cleaning policy” (Jan. 10-23) The Port’s hull cleaning policy continues to be (amended or not) a poorly crafted, toothless and ineffective attempt to reduce copper loading in San Diego’s waterways. The only way to reach the federally mandated water quality goals for copper is to ban copper-based anti fouling paints. Studies have proven that even eliminating in-water hull cleaning altogether would not achieve this. The Port is merely going after an easy target by regulating hull divers in this way.

Island Express Helicopters temporarily halts Catalina service Helicopter involved in the crash killing Kobe Bryant and eight others was part of the Island Express fleet; Ara Zobayan, who helmed the fateful flight, was the company’s chief pilot.

and offered quick flights to and from Catalina Island, owned the helicopter involved in the crash killing former NBA star Kobe Bryant, his daughter, a college baseball coach and six others. No timeline has been given as to when Island Express Helicopters would resume its service from San Pedro to Catalina. Ara Zobayan, Island Express Helicopters’ chief pilot, was at the helm of the Jan. 26 helicopter flight from John Wayne Airport to Ventura County. He had been with the company for 10 years and logged more than 8,000 flight hours, according to a statement released by Island Express Helicopters. “One of our helicopters, N72EX, Sikorsky S76, was involved in an accident on Sunday, January 26th in the Calabasas area of LA
days of June 2019 served as California Fishing and Boating Week, coinciding with a national campaign of a similar title (National Fishing and Boating Week) at the same time. Legislators in Sacramento approved a resolution last spring to declare California Fishing and Boating Week, June 1-9, 2019. The resolution, which was filed with the Secretary of State’s office on June 13, 2019 – a whole four days after the nine-day “week” was over – listed several interesting facts about boating and fishing in the United States. It declared boating and fishing as “cherished American traditions,” promoting “family values and unity … [and] wholesome recreation and outdoor lifestyles.” More than 141 million Americans (71.1 million adults,
70.5 million children) engage in boating activities each year, according to the resolution. Recreational boating, as an industry, contributes $170.3 billion to the national economy, the resolution added. This includes direct, indirect and induced spending. The U.S. recreational boating economy also supports more than 35,000 businesses and 691,000 jobs (direct and indirect). The United States manufactures 95 percent of boats sold in the country, according to state legislators. Our fishing economy is supported by 49 million anglers and, according to the 2019 resolution, helps “generate a total economic output of $125 billion and 802,000 jobs.” “Anglers and boaters are stewards of the environment, contributing $1.6 billion in excise taxes annually to the federal Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, which
funds habitat conservation and restoration efforts, preserving our natural resources for future generations,” the resolution stated. “Sport fishing is vital to California’s tourism economy, with 2 million anglers spending $2.9 billion while fishing, supporting $5.2 billion in economic output and 37,000 jobs.” The annual economic impact of recreational boating on the California economy, according to the resolution, is $13 billion, 41,125 jobs, 2,820 businesses and 745,641 registered boats. National Fishing and Boating Week was acknowledged in the resolution as “a fantastic opportunity for families to spend time together on the water” and “a special week, filled with events nationwide that provide families an opportunity to reconnect, create new memories, and have fun together on the water.”

County. We are deeply saddened by this tragedy. Our top priority is providing assistance to the families of the passengers and the pilot,” Island Express Helicopters staff said in a statement posted on the company’s website. “The pilot, Ara Zobayan, was our chief pilot. Ara has been with the company for [more than] 10 years and has [more than] 8,000 flight hours.” The Log reached out to a spokesperson with the Catalina Island Co. to confirm details about the helicopter company’s decision; she deflected The Log’s request to the NTSB. Long Beach Post reported Island Express Helicopters would be halting its Catalina Island service, quoting the same spokesperson contacted by The Log. “[A] Catalina Island Company spokesperson … confirmed that the company has suspended its service. It is not clear when operations will resume,” the Post article stated. The same spokesperson would not confirm or deny this information for The Log. Catalina Island’s Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau had sent out a member communication email on Jan. 29, shortly after the Post story was published. The email advised all chamber members to avoid contact with members of the media, with rela-
tion to Island Express Helicopters. Keith Holloway, NTSB’s public affairs officer, was not immediately available for comment. Questions about whether Island Express Helicopters decided to pause its Catalina Island service was made internally or if the company was directed to stop operations (for the time being) by the NTSB or another agency were not answered. The Post story, which was published on Jan. 29, stated this is not the first fatal crash involving the Island Express Helicopters fleet. Its Eurocopter AS-350, which flew out of Long Beach, reportedly crashed near Banning House Lodge at Two Harbors almost 12 years ago. The pilot and two others were killed in the crash, according to the Post; three others were reportedly injured. A helicopter ride from San Pedro’s Berth 95 – one of Island Express Helicopters’ terminals – to Avalon is about 15 minutes long; Island Express Helicopters offered round-trip tickets for $300. Island Express Helicopters began offering flights from the Southern California mainland to Catalina Island in 1982 and maintained a fleet of four turbine helicopters. It offers flights from Burbank, Long Beach, Orange County and San Pedro.

Engel & Völkers launches its first yachting shop in the Americas Newport Beach will serve as the home of the real estate brand’s yacht franchise. BY PARIMAL M. ROHIT NEWPORT BEACH — A global real estate brand is opening its first-ever yachting shop for the Americas. Engel & Völkers announced it opened a yachting business in Newport Beach. The venture was the result of a partnership with Walter Johnson and Leeann Iacino of Walter Johnson Yachts. The new yachting shop in Newport Beach will host eight advisors, with plans to expand in the not too distant future. The Newport Beach location complements Engel & Völkers’ yachting shops in Monaco and Antibes in the South of
France. “This is a tremendous milestone for our growth in the Americas,” said Anthony Hitt, president and CEO, Engel & Völkers Americas. “We’ve seen the value for our clientele by offering both luxury real estate and yachting services, which very much complement one another. This also opens exciting new referral opportunities for our global real estate network and strengthens the portfolio of offerings to our clients in the Americas and abroad.” Engel & Völkers was founded in Hamburg, Germany in 1977 as a global luxury real estate brand. It operates 195 shops and manages more than 3,700 real estate advisors in the Americas. The brand’s global network boats more than 11,000 real estate advisors in about 30 countries. The Newport Beach location will be overseen by Paul Benson, a license partner of more than two-dozen Engel & Völkers shops in California, Nevada and Utah. Engel & Völkers has been servicing the yachting industry on the Mediterranean since 2007; the firm even brokered the deal to feature Regina, Regina a luxury yacht liner, in the James Bond film “Skyfall.”
Leeann Iacino and Walter Johnson have partnered together to open Engel & Völkers in Newport Beach.

Avalon City Council approves resolution setting guidelines for cruise ships The city and community have been discussing cruise ships since Oct. 2019; it has ultimately come down to the economic benefit the vessels have on the island. BY LINDSEY GLASGOW
According to a staff report, 112 cruise ships are slated to visit Avalon in 2020; under the newly approved guidelines, no more than three cruise ships can visit per week.
Number of Passengers
AVALON — The Avalon City Council, on Jan. 21, unanimously passed a resolution establishing several guidelines regarding cruise ships. Those guidelines set a limit of three cruise ships per week during both the summer and off seasons and prohibit cruise ships from visiting on the weekends during the summer season or during special event weekends — such as JazzTrax – unless written approval is given by the city manager. The resolution also stated the harbor master and finance director would provide an annual report on cruise ships including the number of vessels that visit Avalon, number of passengers, amount of wharfage collected, any safety or security incidents that may have occurred while the ship was in port and projections and scheduling information for the next year. City Manager and City Clerk Denise Radde prepared the resolution and pre-

sented it to the City Council at the Jan. 21 meeting. “I do not take this decision lightly,” Radde said before detailing the recommendations. “It’s weighed very heavy on me for a couple weeks now.” City Council members have discussed the topic several times with the community in the past few months. City staff in Aug. 2019 received a request from Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines (RCCL) to visit the city a total of 53 times on Wednesdays between 2021 and 2023. This sparked a discussion on how many and which days of the week cruise ships should be allowed to call Avalon as a port-of-call and what maximum number/size of cruise ships should be allowed to call Avalon as a port-of-call, although ship visitation has been relatively stable since 2015. RCCL, on Jan. 8, revised their request, expanding the approved 53 summer-only visits to a total of 165 visits to Avalon (from July 2021 through August 2024). According to the staff report presented at the Jan. 21 meeting, the city plans to approve the request. City staff numbers project cruise ship passengers will spend an average of $5.9 million every fiscal year from 2021 through 2024. The city is estimated to profit $2.81 million total from cruise ship traffic from 2021 through 2025. When it came time for council members to make a decision, it ultimately came down to the economic impact. I’m thinking anything we can do to ensure there’s good quality work for all of our workforce is a good thing,” City Council member Oley Olson said ahead of the vote. Many small business owners have spoken at the various meetings in support for cruise ships, saying they rely on the visitors to keep the doors open and supply adequate hours for their employees. During the same discussions, some argued the city should place tighter restrictions on the number of visiting cruise ships, questioning the ability of island’s infrastructure to support the visitors. The Jan. 21 staff report presented some data on some of those concerns.
“When analyzing the data, even during the peak of the tourist season, the WV”IFP [wastewater treatment plant] averaged below 60 percent capacity for 2019 and 65 percent capacity for 2018. Further analysis shows that during the tourist season, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (when cruise ships are not present in the Avalon Harbor), are at relatively the same capacity as Mondays and Tuesdays,” the staff report stated. According to the staff report, data received from the city’s landfill contractor indicated impacts to the Pebbly Beach Landfill as a result of cruise ship tourists were negligible. However, the report noted data available was inconclusive as currently there is no way to single-out trash from cruise ship visitors. The staff report said impacts on water infrastructure were also inconclusive, due to the lack of data showing how potable water demand is met. “It’s hard to determine that our cruise ship people are contributing more than say our weekend visitors or anybody else who comes to the island,” Radde said at the City Council meeting. The report recommended actively working with the cruise ship industry to co-develop strategies to ensure Avalon’s fragile natural resources are protected. At the Jan. 21 meeting, the public again gave comment, with community members on both sides of the issue speaking. “I believe you need more factual and detailed data and thorough investigation and understanding of these impacts,” said Leslie Warner in a letter read by another community member at the meeting. “I think one of the things we could do that might make the situation a little better, is spend a little effort on how to manage these visitors better rather than trying to exclude them,” said another community member. Two issues not settled at the Jan. 21 meeting were whether to remove the marketing incentive for cruise ships to come to Avalon and whether to increase the wharfage rates. Radde said city staff will bring those topics back for a discussion before the City Council in the near future.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Assembly will revisit resolution on aquatic invasive species Joint resolution was introduced in September 2019 and could be back on the legislative floor in April. BY PARIMAL M. ROHIT SACRAMENTO—California could be making another stand against Washington, D.C., though the move of solidarity isn’t over a hot button issue like offshore drilling. Instead the California legislature could be challenging the federal government … on vessel discharge regulation and aquatic species. Assembly Joint Resolution 25 (AJR 25) was introduced by Assembly member Laura Friedman, D-Burbank, in September 2019. It didn’t come up for a vote during the last session, but Friedman’s staff stated AJR 25 could be back on the legislative floor by April – giving the resolution about six months to be deliberated before the 2019-2020 session comes to an end. Friedman’s proposed resolution, which was co-authored by several members of the state legislature, asserts the federal government, in its attempt to manage vessel discharges, is interfering with California’s authority. AJR 25 asserts California has stringent measures in place to manage aquatic invasive species – and recently enacted federal legislation would threaten the state’s management of its waters and wildlife resources. “This measure would state that the legislature strongly and unequivocally objects to federal preemption of state authority relating to the regulation of vessel discharge in California waters, remains steadfast in its commitment to protect California’s waters from aquatic invasive species introductions, and is resolved to consider any appropriate action to overturn the federal preemption of California authority,” the language of AJR 25 stated. Pres. Donald J. Trump, in December 2018, signed into law the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act. One of the provisions of the authorization was the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act, which, according to AJR 25, would “preempt state authority to regulate ballast water and other
discharges incidental to the normal operation of a vessel.” California is no stranger to receiving vessels from all over the world and managing aquatic invasive species, according to AJR 25. “California is the point of entry for 79 percent of marine invasive species in Western North America. Since 2000, state agencies and nonprofits have spent tens of millions of dollars on the prevention of nonnative species introductions, management of aquatic invasive species impacts and eradication of localized species invasions,” AJR 25 stated. AJR 25 stated aquatic invasive species are primarily transported into and introduced to California’s waters by maritime shipping. The state legislature began managing and regulating ballast water in 1999, according to AJR 25. Vessels, as of 2017, were required to manage biofouling once in California’s jurisdiction – the first regulation of its type in the nation. “California is a recognized leader in the management of ship-mediated vectors of aquatic invasive species introductions,” AJR 25 stated. “California is a global leader of biolfuel management policy and coordinates with regulatory partners throughout the world, including Australia and New Zealand, on research efforts and to ensure regulatory alignment and consistency.” The proposed resolution went on to state California faces significant threats because of aquatic invasive species. Industries or activities threatened by aquatic invasive species, according to ACJ 25, include recreational boating, commercial and recreational fishing, aquaculture operations, tourism, native species (such as Delta smelt) and marine transportation. “Hundreds of millions of Californians and tourists enjoy the state’s ocean for recreation exploration, and relaxation,” AJD 25 stated. “California’s ocean-based tourism and recreation sector comprised more than 18,000 business establishments (15 percent of United States total), employing almost 368,000 persons (18 percent of the United States total) and generating $8.7 billion in wages (19 percent of the United States total) and more than $17.6 billion in gross domestic product (18 percent of the United States total).”

Artificial reefs can be used in flat, sandy or muddy areas to imitate rocky coasts and reefs to promote and attract marine life. Many of the artificial reefs in California are made of quarry rock, although other materials such as concrete blocks or rubble, pier pilings, car tires and ships, have been used.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—Bait, cast, wait, wait some more and sometimes, catch. That’s the fishing experience above the surface. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has long researched and implemented programs aimed at maintaining sportfishing success in the face of the cumulative effects of increasing fishing pressure as well as negative impacts on the near-shore ecosystem. Artificial reefs came into the picture in the late 1950s, when CDFW instituted a study to see if things such as automobiles could be dropped in flat, sandy or muddy areas near the shore to imitate rocky coasts and reefs in order to draw more sport fish, such as kelp bass and sheephead, to provide recreational anglers with small boats better fishing closer to harbors.
PAST
In 1958 when the study began, little to no full-scale scientific evaluation of artificial reefs had been made, according to an article titled “Artificial Habitat in the Marine Environment,” which was published in CDFW’s Fish Bulletin 124 in 1963. CDFW was working off long-known information that greater numbers and kinds of fishes inhabited rocky coasts, reefs, and banks compared to smooth, unbroken sandy or muddy bottoms. In May of 1958, 20 old car bodies were placed in 50 feet of water at Paradise Cove, not far from the Malibu shore. A few months later in September 1958, six wooden streetcars were placed in 60 feet of water approximately 1 mile offshore from the Redondo Beach-Palos Verdes coastline. Divers, during a spread of years
following May 1958, performed routine dives to observe and obtain information on kelp growth, numbers and species of fish and invertebrates and other observations. Over the course of 29 dives between May 1958 and November 1960 at the Paradise Cove reef, a high of 24,000 semi-resident fishes was counted, with the average being around 4,200, according to the “Artificial Habitat in the Marine Environment” article. In October 1958, the first naturally seeded young giant kelp plants were discovered and by Jan. 1959 some had grown to 2 feet. According to the findings published in the “Artificial Habitat in the Marine Environment” article, various perch species made up the greatest number of fishes on the reef, accounting for 74.5 percent of the total, followed by kelp and sand bass, señorita, rockfish,
and sheephead. A similar study was conducted at the Redondo Beach Street car reef, where divers found over 2,800 fishes were concentrated within 25 months, according to the “Artificial Habitat in the Marine Environment” article. After 27 months, the average fish population on the reef consisted of 35 percent kelp bass and sand bass, 26.3 percent miscellaneous seaperch, 11.6 percent gobies, 9.7 percent blacksmiths, and 17.4 percent all other species combined, according to the same report. In 1960, the department began a study in Santa Monica Bay looking at materials used for artificial reefs, hoping to determine the relative attractiveness for fishes of various materials and the relative life of these compared to cost. Streetcars, auto bodies, quarry rock, and concrete shelters were tested. Observations over several years indicated concrete boxes were the most effective in attracting fishes, with quarry rock a very close second, according to “A Guide to the Artificial Reefs of Southern California” (1989), a booklet authored by Robin D. Lewis and Kimberly K. McKee about CDFW’s artificial reefs. A few years later, CDFW started building more artificial reefs in Southern California with most made of quarry rock, although some were made with concrete blocks or rubble, pier pilings, car tires and ships. Artificial reef construction and research became one aspect of the

CDFW was involved in building 32 artificial reefs in the state – 30 are between Santa Barbara and the international border with Mexico. department’s new Nearshore Sport fish Habitat Enhancement Program in the 1980s. The program’s goals were to rehabilitate and enhance stocks of certain living marine resources, improve recreational fishing opportunities and evaluate the potential of using artificial reefs as mitigation/compensation for the loss of certain habitat and associated living resources. The California Legislature enacted Assembly Bill 706 (Fish and Game Code, Article 2, Section 6420-6425) in 1985, formalizing CDFW’s status as the lead agency in California’s reef building process. It authorized CDFW to construct additional reefs and administer reef studies with cooperation and assistance from the California university systems and other appropriate academic institutions and organizations. CDFW, in all, built 32 artificial reefs in the state – 30 in Southern California waters – most between 1962 and the early 1990s. Brian Owens, a senior environmental scientist with CDFW, said the program came to a halt in the 2000s due to a lack of funding.
PRESENT
Owens said CDFW does still get requests from parties interested in building artificial reefs and not just for sportfishing reasons. “We’ve gotten all kinds of reefs requests,” Owens said. Those requests have included interests in building artificial reefs for mitigation from potential sea level rise and coastal storm damage, restoration, diving, kelp harvesting, oyster beds and dampening impacts from marine protected areas. CDFW is not developing any artificial reefs at the moment. The department is, however, looking to develop a statewide artificial reef maintenance plan. “We do have interest in developing our statewide management plan,” Owens said. The department is currently surveying people who use the reefs, hoping to build a picture of how and why
San Diego
artificial reefs are used by anglers and divers, how frequently these reefs are visited by each recreational user group and qualitatively describe the fishes and invertebrates living on the reef. Owens said the surveying will take place through March. “It should give us a little better picture of whose using the reefs and why,” Owens said. The survey is also intended to evaluate if the reefs are still in place and determine their conditions. CDFW built reefs off the coasts of Marina del Rey, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Oceanside, Carlsbad, Mission Beach, Pendleton and one near the international border with Mexico. Owens said of the bigger ones, including one near the Bolsa Chica Wetlands in Huntington Beach, appear on some fishing maps. Owens said the data gleaned from the survey will hopefully give a sense of if the artificial reefs were successful in growing the sportfish population. “I think if you talk to fishermen they would say it’s successful,” Owens said.
FUTURE
The results from the survey CDFW is currently conducting will be used in developing a statewide artificial reef plan and will also help guide strategies for possible future reef developments in California. The department, over the past five or so years, has held several public meetings on artificial reefs to discuss the present situation and future of artifical reefs. Discussions not connected to CDFW have also sprung up about turning soon-to-be decommissioned oil and gas platforms into artificial reefs. There are 27 oil platforms along the Southern California coast nearing the end of their working lives, which are set to shut down. The decommissioning of the platforms has stirred up both supporters of turning oil rigs into reefs and opponents. Time will tell what, if anything, is next for artificial reefs in California.

NEWPORT BEACH—Floating on the surface of the water and on the decks of piers, monofilament fishing line can harm wildlife and foul boat propellers. Sometimes even the best intentions, tossing fishing line in trash cans, can still end with curious birds entangled. Arleigh Boykin, who fishes off Huntington Beach Pier every week, said if the trash can lids aren’t on all the way, birds can get into them – and if there’s old fishing line inside, birds can sometimes get entangled. “I feel bad for the birds,” Boykin said. Fishing line recycling stations have been popping up all around Southern California and anglers at Huntington Beach Pier, where four recycling stations were installed in 2017, generally seem to be taking advantage of them and hoping for more piers to add them. “I like those there because it seems to keep the pier a little cleaner too,” Boykin said. “People aren’t just cutting their line and dropping it.” “It’s a good deal,” said William Wyatt, who fishes the Huntington Beach Pier. The California Division of Boating and Waterways, California Coastal Commission’s Boating Clean and Green program, Keep the Delta Clean, Farallones National Marine Sanctuary and Boat U.S. Foundation have, since 2010, been placing containers at piers, marinas, harbors and other fishing spots throughout the state. So far they have collectively placed over 280 with almost 60 recycling stations in Orange, San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. “I think everybody wants to fight against marine debris,” said Vivian Matuk, who is the environmental boating program manager for California State Parks and California Coastal Commission. “Everybody wants to do a tiny step towards that.” Sister companies Newport Landing Whale Watching and Davey’s Locker Whale Watching & Sportfishing in Newport Beach are planning to bring similar recycling containers to Balboa Pier in Newport Beach. Newport Landing Whale Watching Marine Education Program Manager Jessica Roame is spearheading the project. “I began to realize it’s a lot of waste, there has to be a way to recycle it,” Roame said. She sought and was given approval from the city’s Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission on Jan. 7 to build at least five, three-foot by six-foot PVC pipe fishing line containers, along with signage at popular fishing locations along the Balboa Pier. The City Council will still need to sign off.
“I was so overwhelmed with the support I got,” Roame said. Roame has been with the company for seven years. The busy summer season brings a lot of sportfishing trips, which also means lots of fishing line. The company provides fishing gear, including the rods and line. Roame said as part of regular maintenance, they respool each rod at the end of every week and discard the old line. She said the discarded line adds up to on average 5 miles every week in the summer. “The waste involved with the line usage was quite a surprise to me,” said Roame, who has a background in biology. About two years in with the company, Roame began recycling the company’s old line. Roame was put in touch with a program run by Berkley Fishing, which has been a pioneer of fishing line recycling since the 1990s, in Spirit Lake, Iowa. Newport Landing mails the old fishing lines to Berkley, who works directly with the recyclers to keep the fishing line out of landfills – where it would sit for 600 years before breaking down – and waterways, where it can entangle wildlife or foul boat propellers. The fishing line is melted down and made into things such as park benches and marine fishing habitats for artificial reefs in lakes and under piers. Berkley works with marinas, cities, counties, sporting goods companies and anyone who wants to send their fishing line. The lines collected from the DBW’s containers are also mailed to Berkley. After recycling their sportfishing lines for several years, Roame started to think about how to incorporate the public on the project. “I thought we could easily commit to putting some recycling containers on the pier and collect them every week,” Roame said. She brought the idea of placing recycling containers on the Balboa Pier to company’s owners and she was given full support. The containers will cost around $40 to make and will be funded and built by Newport Landing and Davey’s Locker. Volunteers will then check them weekly and collect the recycling content. Roame said what they need now, is more boots on the ground to help with the collection of the recycled line. She said people have already come into the store with fists full of line to recycle, excited about the project. Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Roame via email at jessica@newportwhales.com. Roame said she hopes this is a “legacy project,” lasting decades beyond her tenure with the company. “My hope is that we will see fishing line recycling as acceptable and common as plastic bottles or cans,” Roame said.

A ceremonious groundbreaking event marks the start of construction on the San Pedro Promenade and Town Square Project, which are part of LA Waterfront revitalization.
BY LINDSEY GLASGOW LOS ANGELES—Shovels have hit dirt, marking the start of construction on the San Pedro Promenade and Town Square Project, which are part of the larger redevelopment of the LA Waterfront, which encompasses 400 acres of Port of Los Angeles property in San Pedro and Wilmington. “We are breaking ground on what will become the front door of our new LA Waterfront,” said Los Angeles City Councilman Joe Buscaino at a groundbreaking ceremony held on Jan. 27. The Town Square project will transform a four-acre lot at 6th Street and Harbor Boulevard into an outdoor space for the public to enjoy views of the bustling port with harbor swings, seating, landscaping, architectural finishes and lighting. The new segment of public promenade being constructed will run parallel to the Port’s Main Channel for about 1 mile meeting the new Town Square. It
is expected to be completed in summer 2021. “Just imagine the place where we stand today and extending a mile to the south of us will soon provide the public with an unprecedented view of the number one container port in the Western Hemisphere,” said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka at the groundbreaking. The Port of Los Angeles is funding the $33 million project, which will connect San Pedro’s Downtown Harbor to the future San Pedro Public Market development. The Port District hopes the projects will help transform the waterfront area into a visitor-serving destination which embraces the existing authentic character of the Port of LA as a working waterfront and bustling industrial port. “This will be the place for visitors and residents alike to take in all the beauty of our working port,” said Los Angeles Harbor Commissioner Anthony Pirozzi, Jr. at the groundbreaking. The San Pedro Public Market project, another major piece in the revitalization of the LA Waterfront, will break ground in the spring with completion anticipated in fall 2021.

In Memoriam: Robert Parsons Former yacht and insurance broker also worked as a captain and volunteered in public service.
BY PARIMAL M. ROHIT SAN DIEGO—The Southern California boating community has lost another titan of industry, as Robert Parsons, a former yacht broker and captain, has passed away. His age was not shared with The Log at the time of publication. He died on Jan. 23 after a battle with dementia. Parsons joined the Navy when he was 17 and served aboard a submarine in Asia and the Pacific Ocean. He returned to San Diego, where
he began working as an electronics instructor. His military career lasted for 10 years before Parsons transitioned into a second career as a yacht captain. His days as a yacht captain would take him to Mexico, where he met the lady who later became his wife, Beverly. They teamed up and worked aboard charted boats or private yachts up and down the West Coast during a five-year stretch. Parsons moved on to become a captain and navigator aboard a long-
Harbor Commission meeting, commissioners gave unanimous approval to issuing an appealable Level II Coastal Development Permit (CDP) to the San Pedro Public Market LLC (SPPM) for Phase 1 of the project. The $150 million San Pedro Public Market project will cover 42 acres, along the west side of the Los Angeles Harbor Main Channel. The area encompasses the old Ports O’ Call marina and village, where boaters leasing slips were forced to vacate years ago for the redevelopment. Right now, the area is mostly open space blocked off by chain link fence with no trespassing signs. According to the project website, plans for the space include 600-feet of courtesy boat slips, a food hall, a 6,000-seat open-air amphitheater concert venue, outdoor public spaces, an outdoor garden with shipping container kitchens and games, retail and maritime-related offices. The project is a public-private partnership between the Port of LA, the Ratkovich Company and Jerico Development. “This waterfront project designed by a group of world class talents will offer guests unprecedented access to LA’s waterfront and an experience that is unique to Southern California,” said

Robert and Beverly would, under the banner of Fraser Yachts and Driscoll Yachts, create Interpac Yachts. The couple would ultimately leave Fraser and Driscoll to operate Interpac on their own. Running concurrent with Parsons’ career as a yacht/insurance broker was his time as a volunteer for law enforcement. Parsons would attend the San Diego Police Academy in 1982, launching a 30-year run as volunteer for the San Diego Police Department, San Diego Sheriff Department, Sheriff’s Weapons

According to a report presented to commissioners at the Jan. 23 meeting, phase one of the San Pedro Public Market development will include 100,000 square feet of restaurant space, 40,000 square feet of retail, and 30,000 square feet of maritime-related office uses. It will also include replacing and restoring the existing over-the-water wharf structures and floating docks at berths 76 and 77 and creating new floating decks for commercial sportfishing, whale watching, harbor cruises, water taxis and related water-adjacent tenants. Plans to redevelop the area have been around since 2016. “We’ve finally reached that pivotal point in this long process, we are actually going to build something,” Buscaino said at the groundbreaking. It was also announced at the Jan. 23 Harbor Commission meeting, Executive Director Seroka has approved a Level I CDP to demolish three buildings located at Berth 44, which will make way for Bellwether Financial Group to develop a new state-of-the-art shipyard facility, dubbed LA Shipyard.

He was also quite the handyman, according to his wife. Parsons is survived by his wife, Beverly, his siblings, and his nieces and nephews. A private farewell service will be held in Parsons’ honor. The family has scheduled a Celebration of Life at Brittany Tower Social Room in San Diego, from 2-6 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 9. Parsons’ ashes will be spread in three locations: San Diego, Mazatlan, and Sechelt, British Columbia, Canada.

Three Southern California agencies awarded SAVE grants The Division of Boating and Waterways Surrendered and Abandoned Vessel Exchange (SAVE) program provides grant funds for the removal, reduction and prevention of abandoned recreational vessels. BY LINDSEY GLASGOW SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—Public agencies in Ventura, Santa Barbara and Newport Beach recently accepted Surrendered and Abandoned Vessel Exchange (SAVE) grants from the California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways.
The grant provides public agencies with funds to, under certain guidelines set by the state, accept and dispose of derelict or abandoned vessels, or vessels likely to become abandoned that are voluntarily surrendered to the city for disposal when the owner has no funds or means to remove their vessel. The grants are used to reimburse the awarded agency 90 percent of the cost of disposing vessels acquired under the program.

The SAVE grant program provides funds to remove, reduce and prevent abandoned recreational vessels and marine debris. Newport Beach has removed more than 50 vessels since 2014 using grant funds.
Crossword Puzzle
The goal is to prevent abandoned recreational vessels from sinking in the harbor, getting ditched in side alleys or washing up on local beaches. Abandoned and derelict vessels can also pose an environmental threat as they can be prone to discharges of oils, gas, sewage or other toxic fluids or take on water and sink in the harbor. The Santa Barbara Waterfront Department, Ventura Port District and the city of Newport Beach accepted the grants in January. Santa Barbara and Ventura were each awarded $70,000 and Newport Beach was awarded $175,000. Santa Barbara Interim Harbor Operations Manager Lieutenant Erik Engebretson said the waterfront department has been plagued with derelict and abandoned watercrafts for years. Many of which are moored east of Stearns Wharf in an area commonly referred to as “Fools Anchorage.” He said many of these California state registered pleasure boats were once berthed in the harbor, but were given away or sold for next to nothing and now many of the outdated vessels are left unattended off East Beach. “The bad news is that without stemming the tide of abandoned boats left to rot east of the Wharf, more will still sink or find their way onto the beach,” Engebretson said in an email. Engebretson said there are currently six vessels in Santa Barbara that qualify for the program at an average cost of $3,000 per vessel.
Abandoned vessels are also a concern in neighboring, Ventura. Ventura Port District Harbormaster John Higgins said because Ventura had been denied SAVE grants the past couple of years, most of the grant money has already been dedicated. “I have what I believe is a back up of vessels,” Higgins said. Higgins said he surveyed the marinas to determine the harbor need and will now be meeting with marinas to prioritize projects. Higgins said the process of removing a vessel can be time consuming, arduous and often expensive. He said the program has been a huge help. “It’s a great program,” Higgins said. In Newport Beach, over time, the city has accumulated a list of vessels that needs to be surrendered, according to a staff report. The staff report said due in large part to the creation of the harbor department, staff has been able to clean up the harbor these past couple of years and dispose of many abandoned and derelict vessels. With a revamped outreach program and more active code enforcement staff with a presence on the water, there are fewer abandoned eligible vessels, providing the city with an opportunity to accept more Vessel Turn-In Program boats, the staff report stated. Newport Beach was also granted funds in 2014 and 2017, with which the city was able to remove and properly dispose of more than 55 vessels.

Catalina Connection Swimrun race, ÖTILLÖ, making U.S. debut on Catalina Island BY LINDSEY GLASGOW
Jakob Edholm/ ÖTILLÖ event photo
TWO HARBORS — Endurance athletes will collect on Catalina Island the final weekend in February for the U.S. debut of ÖTILLÖ, a European-started race for the sport of Swimrun. Swimrun is an established sport in Europe, which alternates trail running and open water swimming along a marked course. The Catalina Island event starts and ends in Two Harbors with racing held Feb. 29 and Mar. 1. The event will take advantage of the island’s surrounding water and abundance of trails. There will be three races, with the World Series Race being the most
challenging. The website states: “It will be hard and magnificent.” Teams will traverse 23.5 miles of running with an elevation gain of over 4,300 feet and swim 4.7 miles. The sprint race will feature 9.2 miles of running and 1.9 miles of swimming. The experience race will help those new to the sport get their feet wet, it will be 4.8 miles of running and 1 mile of swimming. Both the experience and sprint races can be done with a partner or solo. The sprint and experience races will be held on Saturday, Feb. 29 and the World Series Race will be held Sunday, Mar. 1. ÖTILLÖ translates to “island to
island” in Swedish and the event was started 15 years ago when nine teams of two ran over and between 24 islands in Sweden; a total of 40.3 miles (65 km) of trail-running and 6.2 miles (10 km) of open water swimming. This will be the 15th season the race has been held, but the first time it will be held in the U.S. “This race will be very special,” Michael Lemmel, Race Director ÖTILLÖ & co-founder of Swimrun said in a released statement. “It is a dream come true to finally be able to establish an ÖTILLÖ race in America. It is the right timing to be able to support the growth of Swimrun in the U.S.” Good news, there is still time to register. Participants can enter or make changes to their teams until Feb. 25. The World Series Race costs $750, entries in the sprint race cost $300 for a pair and $200 for solo, entries in the experience race cost $200 for a pair and $100 for solo. Spectators are also invited; there will be all-day, roundtrip boat transportation between Avalon and Two Harbors. For more information visit otilloswimrun.com/races/catalina.
ÖTILLÖ involves open-water swimming and trail running; it is held every year over and between 24 islands in the Stockholm Archipelago in Sweden. Catalina Island will host the first U.S. ÖTILLÖ race Feb. 29-Mar. 1.

The U.S. SailGP team has a new general manager: Kimo Worthington. The 60-year-old Worthington will help run the team alongside skipper Rome Kirby. Season 2 of the global sailing league begins Feb. 28 in Sydney.
SAN DIEGO (AP/Log News Service) — Kimo Worthington, who was on teams that won the America’s Cup and a major round-the-world race, has been hired as general manager of the United States SailGP team. Recently retired as an executive with North Sails, Worthington said his main role in running the team would be to take pressure off skipper Rome Kirby during the global league’s second season. “Rome was getting pulled in all different directions and getting taxed,” Worthington said in a phone interview.
U.S. SailGP hires ex-America’s Cup champ as GM “He needed someone to come in and take the pressure off. The skipper goes sailing and I take care of everything else. I just remove obstacles to make it easier for them to go racing. I did the same thing at North Sails. I removed obstacles so they could sell sails.” Worthington, 60, sailed with the fathers of three of the U.S. SailGP crewmembers. He was a teammate
of Kirby’s father, Jerry, with Bill Koch’s winning America3 team in the 1992 America’s Cup. In 1995, Worthington was head coach of what started out as the first all-women’s team in the America’s Cup, and Kirby was one of his coaches. The Australian team, led by America’s Cup winner and Olympic gold medalist Tom Slingsby, won the
inaugural season championship by beating the Japanese team in the $1 million, winner-take-all match race finale. In addition to the team from the United States, teams from France, Great Britain Japan and Denmark are scheduled to return to Sydney Harbor on February 28 and 29 to take on Australia in the first race of Season 2 of SailGP. The United States will once again be the only team with two regattas in home waters, in San Francisco on May 2-3 and New York City on June 12-13.

Trade commission initiates investigation on “IUU” caught seafood U.S. agency will hold a public hearing on seafood obtained via illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing in May; report on findings will be released in December. BY PARIMAL M. ROHIT NATIONWIDE—The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Ways and Means has directed the U.S. International Trade Commission to initiate an investigation on seafood obtained through illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Officials with the International Trade Commission announced the planned investigation – and associated timeline – on Jan. 31. A report on the commission’s findings will be submitted to the House of Representatives later this year. The commission’s investigation is entitled, “Seafood Obtained via Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing: U.S. Imports and Economic Impact on U.S. Commercial Fisheries.” Members of the Committee on Ways and Means hope to find out to what extent seafood is caught from IUU fishing and the economic effect such catches have on U.S. anglers. “The investigation will cover the extent to which seafood products
obtained from illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing are imported into the United States and the potential economic effects on U.S. fishermen of competition with such imports,” International Trade Commission staff said in its Federal Register announcement. “IUU seafood includes products obtained in contravention of fisheries management regulations or in violation of labor laws.” The commission will review existing data and literature to determine the extent of IUU products entering into the U.S. market, as well as the international mechanisms in place to monitor IUU fishing and implement enforcement. Also to be reviewed by the commission: a qualitative analysis of the economic effects of IUU seafood imported into the United States and a review of the major producers of illegal, unreported and unregulated products. The public hearing on the investigation is set for May 12. All requests to appear at the May 12 public hearing on the investigation must be made by April 21; pre-hearing briefs and statements must be filed by April 30.

NOAA announces 2020 bluefin tuna catch limit The commercial catch limit for Pacific bluefin will be 356 metric tons, based upon 274-metricton estimate for 2019. BY PARIMAL M. ROHIT WEST COAST—Commercial fishers will be allowed to catch a decent amount of Pacific bluefin tuna in 2020, as federal officials formally announced the limits for this year’s haul. The federal catch limit for Pacific bluefin, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is 356 metric tons – which is higher than the 274 metric tons caught by commercial boats in 2019. The catch limit is actually based on a two-year total, set by NOAA and NMFS biennially. Commercial fishers were limited to 630 metric tons of Pacific bluefin catches for 2019 and 2020, combined. Since commercial fishing boats hauled in 274 metric tons of Pacific bluefin in 2019, the quota for 2020 was set at 356 metric tons. “On May 1, 2019, NMFS published a final rule establishing trip and catch limits for the commercial Pacific bluefin tuna fishery. The rule established a 630 [metric tons] biennial limit for 2019 and 2020, combined, not to exceed 425 mt in a single year,” the NOAA and NMFS Federal Register statement
said. “NMFS estimates that 274 mt was caught in 2019; consequently, the commercial Pacific bluefin tuna catch limit for 2020 is 356 mt.” NOAA and NMFS also established a per-trip limit of 15 metric tons. “The rule also established a 15-mt trip limit until catch was within or expected to be within 50 mt of the annual limit, at which time the trip limit would be reduced, through in-season action, to two mt,” NOAA and NMFS staff said. “In other words, the trip limit is reduced to two mt when NMFS anticipates that the Pacific bluefin tuna harvest level reaches 375 mt (based on rules and assumptions set forth in the final rulemaking, including pre-trip notifications and catch information).” The first in-season action was made on Aug. 4, 2019, when federal officials anticipated the Pacific bluefin harvest level approaching 375 metric tons. A second in-season action was made on Aug. 11, 2019, re-establishing the 15-metric-ton-per-trip limit. “NMFS evaluated all available information on catches and estimated that 236 mt of commercially-caught Pacific bluefin tuna had been caught to date; consequently, NMFS determined In-season Action #1 to reduce the trip limit was premature. In accordance with the 2019-2020 regulations, NMFS increased the trip limit again,” NOAA and NMFS staff said in the Federal Register document. NOAA issued the catch limit update on Feb. 4.

A Weekend of Sand Dabs and Bass
OXNARD — Anglers aboard The Gentlemen ended January right, catching a mix of bass and sculpin. The 18 anglers aboard a Jan. 31 fishing expedition aboard The Gentlemen (out of Channel Islands Sportfishing Co. in Oxnard) came back home with 49 Calico bass, five sand bass and one sculpin. CISCO staff wrote about the Jan. 31 trip on its Facebook page: “The bass were biting today! The Gentleman fished the coast and stayed busy reelin’ in some feisty ones! The Skipper reported nearly 200 released short Bass on top of their official count of keepers.” Sand dabs were the theme of The Gentlemen’s Feb. 1 trip. The 21 anglers aboard the Saturday fishing trip returned with 2,000 sand dabs. “The Gentlemen was out on a sand dab trip with a modest 21 anglers aboard. Captain Adam Rowell was at the helm and put together some great drifts in the deep water,” CISCO staff stated on Facebook.

Pacific leatherback sea turtle to be considered as endangered in California
BY PARIMAL M. ROHIT SACRAMENTO — The Pacific leatherback sea turtle already receives protection under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA). The sea turtle species could soon be protected under California’s ESA, as well. The California Fish and Game Commission meets in Sacramento on Feb. 21 and will be considering a Consent Calendar item on a petition to consider the Pacific leatherback sea turtle as endangered under the state’s ESA. A decision might not be made on Feb. 21, however, the Consent Calendar item includes the Department of Fish and Wildlife’s request for a 30-day extension to review the petition. Leatherback sea turtles, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), are the “largest turtle in the world.” “They are the only species of sea turtle that lack scales and a hard
shell and are named for their tough rubbery skin,” NOAA staff stated in an informational piece about leatherback sea turtles. “They have existed in their current form since the age of the dinosaurs. Leatherbacks are highly migratory, some swimming [more than] 10,000 miles a year between nesting and foraging grounds.” The leatherback sea turtle is also an avid diver; NOAA says one leatherback sea turtle is on record as diving 4,000 feet deep. “All leatherback turtle populations are listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act,” according to NOAA staff. “They face threats on both nesting beaches and in the marine environment. The greatest of these threats worldwide are incidental capture in fishing gear and harvest of leatherback eggs and adults.” The Log and FishRap will follow up with the commission’s deliberation and address who brought the petition (and why).

has been providing Southern California anglers with quite a few days of nice and fishable weather. Those anglers who are watching the weather forecasts and choosing the nice weather days to go out on the water and do some fishing have often been rewarded with some fun action on what are good eating fish for the dinner table. In addition to the nice weather days, there have also been some days that bring strong winds and high seas. Anglers and skippers are advised to always check the latest marine weather forecast before going boating or fishing. There has been an offshore area producing mixed catches of bluefin tuna, thresher sharks, swordfish and mako sharks for drift net swordfish boats. These fish have been found while working in an area around the upper part of the Ridge ranging between 32 and 50 miles from Point Loma. The fish have been caught while fishing in the region of the 138 Spot and the end of the Ridge above the 181 Spot. The fish have been located in 61.3- to 61.8-degree water temperature and there have also been some yellowtail reported to be holding around kelp paddies in this same zone. All the reports from out at the upper part of the Ridge come from commercial drift net boats with no sportfishing boats that I know of having given it a try. I do not know if any more reports will be coming from the area as the commercial drift net boats had their drift netting season come to an end on Jan. 31. The bluefin tuna being caught by the drift net boats were in the 60- to 90-pound class and some of the yellowtail being seen under the kelp paddies were up in the 20-pound class. The drift net boats set their nets to fish during the dark. During daylight hours there were bluefin tuna meter marks being found and there were bluefin hooked on Flat Fall jigs. During daylight hours there were also some yellowtail found around kelp paddies found in this same area that were hooked on iron. An ongoing reminder to anglers: the annual two-month rockfish/groundfish closure on the U.S. side of the Mexico border went into effect on Jan. 1. The closure remains in effect until March 1. With the ongoing rockfish/groundfish closure, Southern California anglers fishing in U.S. waters continue to focus their efforts on species still open to fishing. There has been good action for a mix of sand bass,
calico bass, perch and sculpin along with an occasional bonus halibut and an occasional flurry of yellowtail action. Productive areas for bass and sculpin have been the Imperial Beach Pipeline, the hard bottom areas to the southeast of the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma, the hard bottom to the north and northwest of Buoy #5 at Point Loma, the Point Loma Pipeline, the Jetty Kelp outside of Mission Bay, the Variety Kelp while fishing below the MLPA closure zone at the lower end of La Jolla, the upper end of La Jolla, the Anderson and Buccaneer Pipelines, the artificial reefs outside of Oceanside and Box Canyon. There have been a few halibut biting out in 30 fathoms of water outside of the Yukon shipwreck off Mission Beach and in the area of the sunken NEL Tower outside of Mission Beach. There have also been reports of halibut biting in San Diego Bay. The showings of yellowtail along the San Diego County coast remain unpredictable and recent days have seen schools of yellowtail difficult to locate. The most recent showings of yellowtail have been found in an area ranging from outside of Mission Bay on up to Torrey Pines with the area outside of Mission Bay, the area below the MLPA closure zone at the lower end of La Jolla and the area outside of Torrey Pines being spots where the yellows have had a tendency to show. A good depth range to try and locate yellowtail has been in 18 to 30 fathoms of water. The coastal yellowtail have been mostly 18- to 25-pound fish. They have been located by finding sonar marks, meter marks and spots of working birds. Once located, yo-yo iron, surface iron, mackerel and sardines have all been working for the yellowtail with surface iron working the best. Good choices for yo-yo iron include Salas 6X and 6X Jr. jigs in blue and white and scrambled egg colors. Good choices for surface iron include Salas 7X lights and Tady 45’s in blue and white, mint and sardine colors. The sardines and mackerel have worked while slow trolled, flylined and fished deep with a dropper loop rig. There are reports of mackerel being caught for bait in about 40-50 feet of water off the Mission Bay jetties. If you watch the weather forecasts and pick the good weather days, year round ocean fishing is one of the nice benefits of living or vacationing in Southern California. I hope you get a chance to get out on one of the nice weather days and enjoy the fun fishing being found during this winter season. Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!

San Mateo County and closed a gate, put up a no-access sign and painted over a billboard at the entrance that had advertised access to the beach. The previous owners had allowed public access to the beach for a fee. Khosla’s attorneys said the cost to maintain the beach and other facilities far exceeded the money the fees brought in. The nonprofit Surfrider Foundation sued, and a state appeals court ruled that Khosla needed to apply for a coastal development permit before closing off the main road. After the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal in 2018, Khosla continued to sue over what he considers to be interference with his property rights. In the meantime, his lawyer said he has kept the road open during daylight hours to paying visitors. State officials say the gate to the road has not been consistently open.
NATION/WORLD Greece: fines for sea rescues if bad weather warning ignored
drifted further away from the land. According to some of the Russian fishermen, by the time they had been rescued the frigid water rift between the ice floe and the coast was already 200 meters (660 feet) wide. It’s the third time in a week that emergency services in the Sakhalin region had to rescue ice fishermen stuck on drifting glacial masses. On Jan. 22, around 300 people got stranded on an ice floe and on Jan. 26, 600 others did. Local authorities blamed the fishermen for ignoring safety warnings and going ice fishing despite the danger of being stranded on ice floes.
Ranger Boats founder Forrest L. Wood dies at 87
MOUNTAIN HOME, Arkansas (AP)—Forrest
L. Wood, who created one of the top brands in the boating industry and was a pioneer of bass tournament fishing, has died at age 87. Wood, who was born in Flippin, Ark., founded with his wife Nina the company Ranger Boats in 1968. The business quickly grew and became a household name among fisherman around the U.S. He sold the company in 1987. Wood was known as the “father of the modern bass boat.” Keith Daffron, his grandson, said in a Facebook post Wood died on Jan. 25 and was surrounded by his family. He died
after a brief illness. In a statement, Gov. Asa Hutchinson said Wood’s death “is a deeply sad moment for our entire state.” “His contributions to the world of fishing and recreation have made Arkansas a destination point for fishermen from all over the world,” Hutchinson said. Former President Bill Clinton said in a statement that Wood was “ambitious and determined and Arkansas is a better place because he fully invested his time and his talents right here.” Wood was inducted into the Arkansas Business Hall of Fame in 2006 and into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2011.
We make the world smaller
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek authori-
ties are putting into effect a law, where people using recreational watercraft at sea who disregard severe weather warnings and then trigger search and rescue operations will be liable for incurred costs and a fine. Greece’s coast guard made the announcement after a spate of incidents in which coast guard and navy helicopters and vessels were scrambled to rescue people who had headed out to sea for fun despite very strong winds and rough seas, and after days of public severe weather warnings. In January, a rescue operation was launched for a 52-year-old windsurfer that had been swept out to sea in a gale, where winds were blowing at around 40-46 miles per hour. In another January incident, a navy helicopter was scrambled in a severe gale, with winds at 47-63 miles per hour to search for a 35-yearold on a stand-up paddle board off the eastern coast of Athens. Both men were successfully rescued. Other similar incidents have occurred with people in sea kayaks and sailboats, among others. The coast guard noted the search and rescue operations put rescuers’ lives at risk. Costs and fines are to be determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the resources used.
Russia rescues 536 fishermen stranded on giant ice floe
MOSCOW (AP) —In a nearly seven-hour
operation, Russia’s emergency services rescued 536 ice fishermen on Jan. 29 after they got stranded on a giant ice floe that broke off the island of Sakhalin in eastern Siberia, officials said. Around 60 more people were able to get back onto the shore on their own on Jan. 28 emergency officials said. Footage of the incident showed groups of people using smaller pieces of ice as rafts and trying to row to the Russian coast on them as the giant ice floe with the stranded fishermen slowly
