BIZARRE

By: KATHERINE M CLEMENTS

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — May of 2021 marked the first of four bizarre incidents with deep-sea fish washing ashore along Southern California coastlines. The second and third discoveries were made in November along Newport Beach and San Diego’s shorelines, and the fourth and final deep-sea fish washed ashore in La Jolla in December. The first fish to wash ashore was a jet-black, bioluminescent ‘Football Fish,’ which typically lives in depths of 3,000 feet and rarely makes an onshore appearance in one solid piece. The creepy looking Pacific football fish (a member of the anglerfish family) has a mouth full of sharp teeth, a football shaped body, and a single, long filament sprouting from the middle of its head. The fish was discovered on the shores of Crystal Cove State Park’s Marine Protected Area in Newport Beach by a woman on a stroll at Swami’s Beach. The fish was identified as a female due to the protruding appendage on top of its head; females can grow to be 24 inches long whereas males only grow to be one inch long. How the anglerfish wound up on shore and in perfect condition is unknown. The California Depart-

ment of Fish and Wildlife currently has the fish while professionals determine where the fish should go next. The second fish that washed up in November was identified as another Pacific football fish; still gross and baring sharp teeth, but of a much lighter color. The anglerfish was first mistaken as a jellyfish by its founder, until closer examination proved it to be a light pink colored Football fish. The male Pacific football fish is a sexual parasite that impregnates the female by fusing itself to her body and pumping her with sperm. A lancet fish washed ashore on Nov. 15 in Newport Beach— still alive. Video footage captured the fish flopping and struggling on the sand as it widely opened and closed its long, toothed mouth. The video was captured by Davey’s Locker Sportfishing & Whale Watching, based out of Newport Beach. The fish itself is not rare considering the species inhabits every ocean on the globe, but it is extremely rare to find one alive and washed ashore. The terrifying looking fish is a medium-sized open ocean predator with a long slender body and is a cannibal, often feeding on other lancetfish or anything they encounter. In December a second lancetfish measuring four feet in length

It is unknown how and why the fish carcasses wash ashore from so many thousands of miles away and it is rare to have it happen so many times in a year. was found in San Diego. The fish was found in near perfect condition, except for a chunk mission from its neck due to poaching seagulls. How these deep-sea fish keep washing ashore is as mysterious as the fish themselves, however there are many ways other fish have washed ashore. Whether

its red tide causing fish to die then wash up ashore by currents or if it’s because of a cold-water upwelling, it has not yet been explained how a fish from 6,000 feet below can make its way to Southern California’s sandy shoreline, dead or alive.

FAST FACTS

Fast Facts: Santa Catalina Island is 480 Years Old! By: KATHERINE

M CLEMENTS

CATALINA ISLAND — In 1542, a Spanish explorer named Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo became the first European to land on Catalina Island. Over the next several centuries, other Spaniards would stop at the island but never settle there. It was not until the late 1700s that life would change for the island’s native people, the Tong va , a lso k now n a s Gabr ieliño, when Spanish colonization of the California coast began to develop. As a result, the majority of the island’s population relo-

In 1846, not long before the United States assumed control of California and its islands,

the Mexican government granted ownership of the island to a private citizen. After changing hands several times during the late 1800s and early 1900s, the island was sold to William Wrigley Jr. and has belonged to the Wrigley family since 1919. Settlers on Catalina Island raised sheep and cattle in the mid-1800s, introducing a ranching industry that continued in different forms until the mid1950s. The island was mined for gold and silver and was used by the U.S. government during the American Civil War. The most important factor to Catalina Island’s future happened in the late 1880s when owner George Shatto embarked on a campaign to turn Catalina Island into a tourist destination; planning and building the town of Avalon as the focal point of the island and hub of this activity. Following owners have nourished Shatto’s idea by constructing hotels, golf courses, and new tourist attractions as well as encouraging hunting, fishing, and other outdoor pursuits, helping to make Catalina Island the resort it is today.

news briefs By Katherine M. Clements

LOCAL San Clemente Plans to Ban E-Bikes SAN CLEMENTE—On Dec 21, the San

Clemente City Council met to discuss putting a ban on e-bikes in designated areas of the city. San Clemente officials are looking for more control over e-bikes on beach paths, streets, trails, sand, and the pier. The city has struggled to organize the influx of fast-moving electric bikes as they continue to rise in popularity. City officials are writing laws to reflect stricter rules prohibiting e-bikes on the beach trail, which spans the city’s coast, and banning the electronic bikes from the beach and pier. The City Council also opted to add further inland trails to the list of areas that would be banned. The decision to modify the regulations on e-bikes is not a new idea as resident complaints about unruly behavior flood the city’s inbox. In February, the City Council chose to do an “educational blitz” instead of entirely banning e-bikes at heavily trafficked spots throughout the city the event and booklet provided information on bike safety and the rules-of-the-road when on an e-bike. In addition, the city developed a “bike rodeo” in conjunction with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department. It was a free event to promote bike safety, which included e-bike rules of the road. The change to city ordinances will need to return to City Council for final approval before the attempt to make the proposal a law in 2022.

The Aquarium of the Pacific Has Received a Rescued Baby Otter LONG BEACH— The Aquarium of the Pacific officially introduced a fourteen-week-old southern sea otter to its otter habitat on Dec. 28. The otter pup requires round the clock care with feedings every three hours. The otter pup lived in the behind-the-scenes nursey until it was ready to join the aquarium’s other sea otters. The otter was recently rescued off the coast of Pismo Beach by trained responders from the Marine Mammal Center’s field office in Morro Bay. It was determined by government wildlife officials that the orphaned pup would not be able to survive on its own in the wild and deemed the pup unreleasable. The pup was then sent to the Aquarium of the Pacific, who volunteered to foster the pup. Upon arrival at the aquarium, the pup only weighed 10 pounds, and due to its strong appetite, the pup is currently up to 16 pounds. Caring for this otter pup will enhance experience of aquarium staff who will help to care for future orphaned pups as participants in the Sea Otter Surrogacy program. The program pairs resident aquarium otters with orphaned puppies to teach them the skills needed to survive in the wild. The new surrogacy area at the Aquarium of the Pacific is being built behind the scenes at its Molina Animal Care Center; it will shelter three to four rescued sea otter pups each year.

Eighteen People Detained in Newport Beach for Allegedly Entering the County Illegally Via Boat NEWPORT BEACH— On Dec. 21, Department of Homeland Security agents detained 18 people in Newport Beach who are suspected of entering the country illegally on a boat. The boat was disguised as a fishing boat in an attempt to blend in with surroundings in broad daylight, according to police. The 18 people who were detained where then transferred to the border patrol station in San Clemente. Border Patrol agents claimed the boat was at such a full capacity, it was close to sinking.

After that, the Opens will wind through Tennessee, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, New York, and Maryland.

New York Governor Signs Aquatic Invasive Species Law NEW YORK— On Dec. 10, Gov. Kathy

Hochul signed into law a legislation granting the Department of Environmental Conservation the ability to conduct inspections and the decontamination of boats and other watercrafts to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species in and around the Adirondack Park. According to a press release from the governor’s office, the new bill permanently extends the New York State Aquatic Invasive Species Transport Act, which obligates boaters to “Clean, Drain and Dry” their watercraft before launching in the state waters. The law will expand on the expired aquatic invasive species legislation from 2014. In addition, it authorizes DEC-operated “inspection stations” to be set up at any location across the park and within a 10-mile radius of the blue line. The stations would administer boat inspection and decontamination certifications and provide education and outreach to boaters. The new inspection requirement will take effect 180 days after the law is Please see NEWS BRIEFS, PAGE 9

LEGAL ADVICE

ask a maritime attorney

By David Weil

California’s Boating and Fishing News

Can I place a lien on a customer who won’t pay for the service I did on their boat? 2C DARK BKGND

QUESTION:

I am a hull cleaner here in the Bay Area. I have a deadbeat customer who refuses to pay a $625 invoice, claiming we were never authorized to do the work (despite my showing her the text conversation we had where she did in fact, authorize the work.) The invoice covers two service events, both during 2021. Can I place a mechanic’s (or other type of) lien on her vessel? If so, what is the procedure for doing so? Thanks.

David Weil is the managing attorney at Weil & Associates (www.weilmaritime.com) in Seal Beach. He is certified as a Specialist in Admiralty and Maritime Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization and a “Proctor in Admiralty” Member of the Maritime Law Association of the United States, an adjunct professor of Admiralty Law, and former legal counsel to the California Yacht Brokers Association. If you have a maritime law question for Weil, he can be contacted at 562-7995508, through his website at www.weilmaritime. com, or via email at dweil@weilmaritime.com.

ANSWER: We have talked about maritime liens in quite a few installments of this column, but it seems that our readers are always able to add a new twist to the discussion. In this case, the dispute will focus on whether the work was authorized by the boat owner. But we should first review some of the fundamental characteristics of a maritime lien. Maritime liens are not “placed” on a boat in the way that our reader has assumed by his question. They arise as a matter of law, not as a consequence of a clerical act. If a service provider completes a project on a boat, and if that project was authorized by the owner of the boat, the service provider has a maritime lien against the boat until the claim is satisfied. This assumes the project itself is a service which will qualify as a maritime lien, but in most cases any service that is actually provided to a boat will give rise to a maritime lien when the work is completed, without filing any documents with anyone. The document “placed” on a vessel’s title history is called a Notice of Claim of Lien, and it is simply a notice that somebody claims to have a lien. The recording of that notice with the Coast Guard has no bearing whatsoever on whether the lien is valid or Please see ATTORNEY, PAGE 9

Imagine what life would be like traveling from the Bering and Chukchi Seas all the way to Baja Mexico, and maybe adding a few miles if you decide to start a little bit further north towards the North Pole because the food is better? That’s clocking in between 5,000 to 7,000 miles one-way, all to enjoy a warm swim in the Mexican lagoons where gray whales will continue mating, calving, nursing, and socializing. It’s an amazing concept if you think about the life of the official California Marine Mammal, the California gray whale. The whale will migrate from north to south and back again, enduring many hurdles, including boats, predators, and massive weight loss from fasting. Gray whales have a different body shape than those of rorqual whales, such as the blue, humpback, and minke whales. This affects the way they eat and travel. It’s almost like comparing a hybrid to a gas-guzzling vehicle averaging a loss of one gallon of fatty lipids for every 16 miles traveled. The gray whale’s shape and lack of multiple ventral grooves do not allow them to pull in large amounts of water like the humpback or blue whale while feeding. The gray whale gets their food as bottom feeders; they focus on amphipods, small shrimp-like organisms that live in the mud, as well as mollusks and tube worms. They get fat and happy, creating large reserves of fatty lipids in the Bering Sea as they can’t eat as they travel along the coast to their final destination of Baja. Gray whales are recognized in appearance by barnacles, whale lice, gray and white freckled modeling skin, lumpy back, heart-shaped spout, and an absent dorsal fin. They are unique in growing their population while mating during their travels. The female ovulates in November, allowing for conception during her southbound migration; if unsuccessful 40 days later, she will have her second and last ovulation of the year, which would have her mating in the lagoons. Fifty percent of gray whales will be born north of Los Angeles with a gestation of 12-13 months during their annual migration. This is why we see numerous calves traveling southbound in waters off Southern California. The average calf will nurse for 6 to 8 months, with fatty lactation being the most important in the first 5 to 6 weeks. This creates a build-up of blubber and fat protein to keep them warm, as it is hard for them to regulate their internal temperature during their migration back to the cold-water temperatures of the Bering Sea. In addition, it gives them energy and strength to make the 5,000mile trip to the Bering Sea with their mother. A calf averages 12 feet in length

The average calf leaves the lagoons with its mother at 18 feet in length. I think people forget how unique the gray whale is, and we are pretty darn lucky here in Southern California that we are able to experience these “friendly whales” as they migrate from November to April along our coastline, peaking in our backyard off the coast of Dana Point in February and March. Dana Point is a landmark for whale sightings due to its weather, underwater canyons, shallow waters, large kelp beds, and the close proximity of continental shelf, which creates the “perfect navigational highway,” allowing us to have close accessibility to see the gray whale in its natural state. However, their migration is different than any other by how they travel close to our shore, adding 3,500 extra miles to the already long adventure. In California, we have judicial guidelines to keep these beloved creatures safe; we honor their space with a safe distance just like you would a fire engine with its lights and sirens on...PULLOVER and create space behind and do not cross paths intentionally in order to protect them. They were once hunted to near extinction in the mid-1800s and again in the 1900s. They became overhunted in Southern California and Mexico. They were once called the “devils’ fish” as they became aggressive once they knew they were in unfriendly waters during the whaling period. The history of how they were hunted is not a history we want to repeat as it is one of the natural wonders of the world to see the way the mothers and calves interact in the Mexican Lagoons. They allow us to touch and kiss their young, living up to the name “friendly whales.” Come wave hi to them aboard a Whale and Dolphin Watching Adventure with Dana Wharf Whale Watching as they play along our shores here in Dana Point, California.

the filing of the notice therefore has no significant legal consequence. The sole purpose of recording the notice is to alert other parties that someone has asserted a claim against the boat, which may be helpful in resolving the claim when and if the boat is sold someday, but it will not automatically lead to the payment of the claim. While the notice has no legal significance, the lien itself is a powerful legal device. When a maritime lien is established by the completion of the work, the lienholder may file a lawsuit in federal court to foreclose on the vessel and collect the funds that are owed to him, subject to any defenses asserted by the boat owner. No recording is necessary, and the lawsuit may be initiated as a “sneak attack” to prevent the boat from running away before things are resolved. Unfortunately, this type of lawsuit is usually very expensive. It requires the boat to be taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals at the beginning of the lawsuit and then turned over to a commercial custodian. The legal fees, court costs, and custodial fees may easily exceed the amount of a claim. In the case of our reader’s claim, it will easily exceed the amount of the claim by 30 times or more. Looking at our reader’s claim, he will be deemed to have a maritime lien without recording anything, but only if the boat owner did in fact authorize the work to be done. Here there is a dispute. Our reader appears to have sufficient evidence to prevail in that dispute, but the existence of the dispute will increase the cost of enforcing a maritime lien even further. Notwithstanding the high cost of enforcing the lien, our reader is entitled to compensation for his services. He has a maritime lien, but that lien may be worthless since it would not make economic sense to initiate a federal lawsuit. So, what can he do? Under these circumstances, where a service provider has a valid but relatively small claim against a boat, the most logical solution is usually to ignore the maritime lien. Since the lien arose from a breach of contract, a lawsuit may be

Vermont Will Implement New Fishing Regulations as of 2022 VERMONT— As of Jan. 1, anglers are reminded by the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife that a new series of fishing regulations will go into effect in the new year. The department says the changes are simplified and provide additional fishing opportunities. The changes allow anglers to fish almost every body of water in the state all year round while practicing catch and release. Changes include:

filed in state court, even though the contract involves a boat. The legal fees and costs for a simple breach of contract lawsuit will be a lot less than a federal court lawsuit to foreclose on a maritime lien. And for our reader, the claim is small enough to allow him to file suit in small claims court. If successful, the lawsuit will lead to a judgment that may be enforced against any of the boat owner’s property, including the boat. The only real difference with this strategy is that the boat will not be seized by the court until after the conclusion of the lawsuit. Another approach for a relatively small claim is to use the Coast Guard’s recording system for the limited purpose of being a thorn in the side of the boat owner when it is time for him or her to sell the boat. As noted above, the recording of a Notice of Claim of Lien has no legal effect. But when a prospective buyer sees the claim on the boat’s title history it may interfere with the sale, which may in turn require the owner to pay attention to the lien claimant. Federal law requires that a claimant may not record a claim against a boat without a good faith belief that the claim is valid, and the claimant must swear to the validity of the claim under penalty of perjury when the Notice of Claim of Lien is filed. But filing the notice will definitely get the boat owner’s attention when the boat is offered for sale. Regardless of the size of a claim against a vessel or the preferred method of enforcement, this is a very specialized area of the law. Contact an experienced maritime attorney if you are confronted with this type of claim, whether you are a boat owner or a claimant.

IN MEMORIAM: SHEILA WOOD

Thank You to Our Sponsors!

Your continued support makes the annual san diego BaY parade of lights possiBle. TOP SPONSORS

Sheila Wood passed away peacefully in her Costa Mesa home of 42 years on Dec. 14, 2021, surrounded by family. Born on Jan. 16 in St Louis, Missouri, to Mildred Cavallini, Sheila had a wonderful childhood; she spent her younger years in Fullerton, Calif., from kindergarten up through high school. She truly loved dancing and won local dance competitions with her neighbor Scotty and her brother Bill. Sheila loved the beach and throughout her life, would “fill her tank” sun tanning with a book. One of Sheila’s first jobs was at Newport Stationary on old Newport Blvd, where she first met her husband, Barry. He was immediately taken aback by Sheila and returned to the shop the next day to ask for a pencil. The rest is history. Sheila and Barry were later married in Corona del Mar at the little white church. They would share their love of the water together, sailing locally, in regattas, and through the Virgin Islands through 52 years of marriage. Sheila and Barry resided and worked together in Southern California and became a well-known power couple in the boat business. Their career together began at Yachts Royale Sailboats, then to Eddie Arnold Sailboats for 17 Years and H&S Yachts Sales for 18 Years. Sheila later worked at the Lido Shipyard, having spent most of her adult life near the water; she was a well-known staple in the boating industry, and if you worked with Sheila, you knew you were in good hands and would always have the wind at your back. She had loving arms to all that came in touch with her. Sheila and Barry have lived in their longtime home in Costa Mesa since 1977 and have kept many traditions alive on Bay Street. Anyone who knows that street could find the home and would know the door was always open to those needing a long stay, a short stay, or just a hug. Sheila raised her two beautiful girls in Costa Mesa and on the docks

She was known to be afloat on a raft, with a mai tai in one hand and a book in the other. If you knew Sheila, you know she was the kindest person; she was always a welcoming ear and offered the strongest words of support. Her home was your home, and if you couldn’t find a mom close, she was yours to have. Sheila loved deeply and fully with many family traditions for her descendants to remember her by. She absolutely adored her grandchildren; they brought many smiles to her on the final days. Sheila is survived by the love of her life, her husband Barry Wood, her “two beautiful daughters” Andrea and Heather, son-in-law Anthony Cecola, her grandchildren, Nick Wood and Tyla, AJ, Oliver Cecola, her brother Bill Hager of Prescott AZ, and sister Brenda Williams of Mesa, AZ. She fought Ovarian Cancer with a courageous spirit and had a tremendous team of doctors and nurses. She will be deeply and sorely missed by all. “We will dance for you Sheila, have a Mai Thai, and of\course, we will put up our sails and always think of you.” Celebration of life is to be announced.

The MOU facilitates the use of the new electric terminal tractors by stevedores in the Port of Hueneme. By: JORDAN B. DARLING P O R T O F HUENEME — On Dec. 20,

the Port of Hueneme and the Oxnard Harbor District board voted to approve a Memorandum of Understanding with the port’s stevedores authorizing the use of two new electric terminal tractors owned by the port. The MOU is a new model of operation for the port as the stevedores normally own all the heavy-duty equipment used for offloading cargo. The agreement authorizes the use of the port’s equipment by the stevedores to promote zero-emission equipment in the port to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. “This model of the port owning equipment is new,” said Giles Pettifor, the environmental manager for the Port of Hueneme. “And the reason we [own] this equipment is because it came to the port via a state grant that was focused on demonstration and deployment of zero-emission cargo handling equipment.”

The eUTRs are part of the port’s ongoing climate action plan. They are funded by the Zero and Near Zero-Emission for Freight Facilities grant from the California Air Resources Board, which the port applied to in 2018 with the Port of Los Angeles and other partners. “And so, the project we are participating under is called ZANZEFF,” said Pettifor. “...That is Zero and Near Zero-Emission for Freight Facilities. And it is a California Air Resources Board grant that we applied to as a partner with the Port of Los Angeles and some of the other partners.” The grant is part of the state’s push for pilot programs to test out early versions of zero to near-zero-emission equipment, including the two new yard tractors, which will run on electricity rather than diesel-like their traditional counterparts. The MOU will allow longshoremen to test out the new equipment and evaluate its success in a working port compared to diesel tractors that are currently in use. Initial reviews of the tractors have been positive from longshoremen trained to use them, according to Pettifor. The tractors operate the same way as the diesel tractors, and the driving experience has been positive with the bonus of no fumes. “The initial experiences for the longshoremen, who are so critical to the suc-

The trucks are currently in development but will be deployed throughout the L.A. basin to test the hydrogen fuel cells’

feasibility rather than the traditional diesel model. “A tremendous amount of change is happening all the time in this industry,” said Pettifor. “...Ports don’t necessarily seem that exciting, but there is so much happening on this decarbonization front right now…California ports are advancing more quickly on the deployment of clean energy technology than I would say anywhere else in the world.” The deployment of the tractors is set to begin in the first two weeks of January.

Illegal fishing has greatly impacted the seafood industry and anglers and government officials are on the same page in regards to fixing it. A proposal is expected to go into law after clearing Congress and will effectively restore the fishing industry that so many depend on. By: KATHERINE M CLEMENTS

WASHINGTON, DC —A maritime security proposal for the Fiscal Year 2022 National Defense Authorization Act has cleared Congress and is expected to be signed into law by President Biden. As amended by Senators Dan Sullivan (Alaska) and Sheldon Whitehouse (RI), the proposal requires the Secretary of the Navy to construct a report on maritime security measures related to illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. The amendment calls for the U.S. Navy to disclose necessary steps taken to support unclassified information and

Legislative Update: Pirate fishing is on the radar and has caught the attention of Congress

Illegally caught seafood is hindering the fishing industry and those states that heavily depend on that income. This proposal is expected to be passed into law, reinforcing the fishing industry. data dissemination to regional partners and any new authorities or capabilities needed to support counter-IUU efforts to guide future legislative decisions. The senators recognize IUU fisheries annually produce 11 million to 26 million tons of seafood, generating global economic losses between $10 billion and $23 billion. The proposal, according to Sullivan, would help protect America’s fishing fleet and the global seafood industry against IUU practices. “According to a 2014 report by the Marine Conservation Institute, Rhode Island may have lost as much as $24 million in revenue and as many as 400 jobs due to IUU fishing,” said Whitehouse in a press release from Dec. 16. Whitehouse has approved provisions in the previous defense legislation that

necessitated the Defense Department to update Congress on previously enacted measures to combat IUU fishing. The provisions also directed the Navy to work with the Coast Guard to analyze solutions for tracking vessels that have engaged in unlawful activity on the water. “As the largest producer of seafood in the nation—roughly sixty percent of American seafood comes from our waters—Alaska is undoubtedly the superpower of seafood for our country,” said Sullivan in the press release. “I intend to do all I can to keep it that way, including ensuring that we have an all-of-government effort to crack down on illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing.” According to Whitehouse, the provision will also help to protect America’s fishing fleet and the seafood industry across the globe against bad competitors, especially as China continues to use its fishing fleet to project power in the Indo-Pacific and around the world. The press release can be found on Whitehouse’s website. Joining Whitehouse in pushing for the maritime security proposal were Congressmen Jim Langevin (RI) and Jimmy Panetta (CA). They succeeded in including the legislation in the House version of the NDAA. According to the provisions published by the office of Whitehouse “It would:

Require the Department of Defense to report to Congress on the Navy’s implementation of measures to combat illegal fishing that were included in the FY 2020 NDAA. Direct the Navy to work with the Coast Guard to assess commercial solutions for tracking vessels engaged in illegal fishing and other unlawful activity at sea and sharing that information among U.S. maritime services and partner nations. Require the Office of Naval Intelligence to report to Congress on the way bad actors like China use their distant-water fishing fleets to challenge the sovereignty of their neighbors, supplement the aggressive activities of their naval and coast guard vessels, and undermine the interests of the U.S. and its allies.” Whitehouse is a founding member and Co-Chair of the bipartisan Senate Oceans Caucus, which works to find commonalities in preserving, protecting, and enhancing the United States’ oceans and coasts. A primary focus of the Oceans Caucus has been putting an end to illegal fishing. With the help of the Caucus’s guidance, Congress has taken essential steps to guard against IUU fishing, including ratifying a series of crucial IUU treaties with partnering nations and approving implementing legislation to bring those treaties into effect.

Channel Islands Harbor Bids Farewell to 49-Year-Old Casa Sirena Hotel While the Casa Sirena Hotel would have celebrated 50 years in 2022, the vacant and crippled hotel will be torn down and replaced with a new version. By: KATHERINE M CLEMENTS

the Channel Islands Harbor would have celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2022, however demolition of the vacant hotel began on Dec. 27, 2021; the Lobster Trap Restaurant is also included in the demolition. In a Dec. 23, 2021 press release published by the Channel Islands Harbor, the Harbor Department Director Michael Tripp said that preparation for the demolition, such as removing hazards, communicating with nearby Harbor residents, and connecting homeless individuals with helpful services, has been underway throughout December. “I would like to thank the City of Oxnard, County of Ventura agencies, and the non-profit organizations who partnered to connect homeless individuals who were near the demolition site with much-needed services,” said Tripp in the press release. “This was an important step in moving the demolition process forward.” As of Dec. 27, 2021, a chain link fence has been placed around the perimeter of the hotel property, and demolition production will take an estimated six months from start to finish. “This is great news for the Harbor, and I’m glad a new chapter is being written for this location,” said Tripp. “I’m confident the demolition and development of a new hotel will reinvigorate the Harbor along with residents, visitors, and local businesses.” The replacement of the two dilapidated buildings with the new Hyatt House

VENTURA — The Casa Sirena Hotel at

A chain link fence has been placed around the perimeter of the hotel property and the entire demolition is projected to take about six months from start to finish. Hotel and neighboring restaurant are part of a three-project plan for the end of Peninsula Road. In addition, the marinas will be rebuilt, and the protective rock retaining wall will be replaced concurrent with the hotel and restaurant construction. COVID-19 stalled the development process by roughly 18 months, but hotel developer Brighton Management, a property management company, stated the project will begin by the end of 2021. The demolition is the first step in a multi-year construction project that will revitalize the entire south end of the Channel Island Harbor’s peninsula. After the Casa Sirena is demolished, the Harbor Department will repair the riprap (human-placed rock used to protect shoreline structures against scour and water, wave, or ice erosion) surrounding the south end of the peninsula.

The original Casa Sirena hotel, constructed in 1972, had 197 rooms with additional space for events. The hotel has recently become vacant and transformed into a place where the homeless community takes shelter. The location’s scheduled development will include a new Hyatt House Hotel and a new restaurant up to 5,000 square feet, comparable to, but not smaller than, the former Lobster Trap Restaurant, which was located nearby and is also being demolished. The proposed Hyatt House will feature 210 rooms in a 55-foot structure and occupy approximately 203,000 square feet along the Channel Islands Harbor waterfront. According to Channel Islands Harbor, the demolition of the two structures must occur before the second and third parts of the project can begin. The facilities must be removed before the riprap can be re-

placed so that construction equipment can get to the shoreline to remove and replace the rocks. While handling the riprap replacement from water is feasible, it would significantly increase the project’s cost. In addition, it would create a tremendous negative impact on recreational water use in the Harbor. Correspondingly, the riprap must be completed before the marina rebuild can proceed. It is projected that the hotel and restaurant abatement and demolition will take four months, and the riprap removal and replacement will take six months. After the riprap is replaced, it will take roughly 20 months to open the hotel and restaurant. If everything is executed correctly, the new hotel and restaurant are scheduled to open in mid-2024.

Buying A Used Boat? Thoughts on hiring a competent marine surveyor By: BOB ADRIANCE

Like a lot of first-time buyers, it’s fair to say that the 42-year-old restaurant executive was head-over-heels in love with the boat — in this case, a 28-foot sportfishing boat — and couldn’t wait to finish the paperwork and take title. But first — and this really irked him —the local bank was saying he had to have it surveyed. The man reluctantly called the broker who gave him a shortlist of names. After a little price shopping over the phone, the executive had his surveyor and was only one short step away from owning the boat. The survey inspection went well; at least it went quickly. The boat was hauled out of the water and the surveyor spent a couple of hours poking around the boat, occasionally pausing to scribble a few comments in a notebook. Two days after the inspection, the survey arrived with a few minor recommendations. The surveyor also placed a value on the boat that was acceptable to the bank, and in short order the executive had his boat. It would be nice to say that the restaurant executive and his new boat lived happily ever after, but it wasn’t to be. Over the following weeks and months, problems arose with a rusted engine mount, a worn cutlass bearing, and the grim dis-

covery of rot in two bulkheads. Every one of the boat’s seacocks was “frozen” open, and a badly leaking hose almost sank the boat. Finally, a helpful engine mechanic who was doing some repair work noticed the boat’s water heater mounted in the engine compartment wasn’t ignition-protected and strongly recommended that it be replaced. The end result was that two years and several more repairs later, the sportfisher went up for sale. It was an expensive lesson on the value of a good marine survey.

Finding A Good Surveyor Finding a competent surveyor may be the final step in a boat purchase, but it could easily be the most important, and should never be taken lightly. Anyone can call himself a marine surveyor; there are no licenses or exams required. One longstanding joke among surveyors is that all it takes to become a “professional” is a business card, a cell phone, and somebody to believe you. Being a competent marine surveyor, on the other hand, requires a good deal more. First it takes expertise, a lot of expertise. The American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) publishes 68 standards totaling over 650 pages that cover everything from a boat’s deck hardware to fuel and electrical systems. Being a competent marine surveyor requires a comfortable working knowledge of them all. In addition to ABYC standards, a surveyor must know National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards and the Coast Guard’s safety requirements, and be familiar with various construction

standards (ABS and Lloyds). Needless to say, a good marine surveyor must have a mind for technical details. These standards are continually being revised and a surveyor has to keep abreast of the changes, which means reading technical books and attending education seminars. The latter involves paying for airfare, hotels, and meals. Good surveyors also invest in expensive moisture meters and multimeters. In a few cases, they may purchase specialty equipment such as hardness testers and ultrasonic thickness gauges. Becoming a competent surveyor involves making a considerable financial commitment. Surveyors aren’t licensed, so the industry is in the position of having to police itself. There are two major surveying organizations, which, among other things, have programs to certify or accredit their members: the National Association of Marine Surveyors (NAMS) and the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors (SAMS). A NAMS surveyor must have at least five years experience working as a full-time marine surveyor and pass an exam in order to use the initials NAMS-CMS (NAMS Certified Marine Surveyor) after his or her name. A SAMS surveyor who’s worked five years as a fullor part-time surveyor and has passed an exam can use the AMS (Accredited Marine Surveyor) credentials. Both organizations have apprentice members who have not yet earned their certification. There are a handful of other surveyor organizations, some of which are more credible than others. There are also some

very competent marine surveyors who, for one reason or another, don’t belong to any surveyor organization. If you’re not sure whether BoatU.S. Marine Insurance will accept a survey from someone you’ve been talking to, call one of their underwriters: 800-283-2883.

What’s Covered On A Survey? Even among the best surveyors, there is no consensus on what is or isn’t covered on a pre-purchase survey. NAMS and SAMS both publish voluntary survey report guidelines for their members. (NAMS publishes “Recommended Guidelines for Yacht Condition and Valuation Surveys” and SAMS publishes “Recommended Survey Report Content.”) BoatU.S. did a poll (see sidebar) of SAMS and NAMS members who survey recreational boats that found many of their inspections are consistently the same. A comfortable majority of surveyors said they always sound the boat (using a plastic hammer to detect voids and delamination), reference the ABYC standards, and test electronics to see if they’re operable. There were also some significant variations. For example, only a slight majority of surveyors always use a moisture meter and slightly less than half said they always take the boat on a sea trial (assuming a sea trial is possible). There are even bigger differences with engine inspections. A few surveyors are former mechanics and are qualified to do a complete inspection while others have very little handson experience. Most have at least some fa-

miliarity with engines but stop short of a complete inspection — oil analysis, compression check, and so on. Using a scale of 0 (no inspection) to 10 (complete mechanical inspection), the poll average of 6.05 indicates most surveyors spend at least some time with engines. Based on the age of the boat, the number of hours on the engine, and what’s found during the inspection, a surveyor will often recommend that a mechanic do a more complete analysis. It’s usually good advice, although some surveyors include a disclaimer recommending an engine inspection with every survey. The same is true of sailboat rigs — going aloft — and electrical system inspections. The latter can take many hours and is usually recommended with some imports or when an older boat’s electrical system has been repeatedly “upgraded.”

Question To Ask Before Hiring A Surveyor

pairs for years gives the surveyor a good understanding of why and where a boat is likely to develop problems.

2. What professional organizations do you belong to? Aside from being a member of NAMS or SAMS (a few are members of both), a surveyor should be a member of the ABYC, which is the organization that writes the standards used by most of the major marine manufacturers. The NFPA is another standard organization that writes fuel and electrical standards for boats. (Note: The surveys themselves should include appropriate references to the standards.) Although very few surveyors belong, a membership in the American Society of Appraisers (ASA) is almost a guarantee that the surveyor takes a highly professional approach to valuations.

3. Can I be present?

Tom Benton, a marine surveyor in Oklahoma, considers it a red flag whenever a conversation with a prospective client begins with a discussion of price. “How much do you charge for a survey?” Benton acknowledges it’s a fair question, one that he expects to be asked eventually, but it really bugs him whenever it’s the first question. Other surveyors interviewed for this article echoed similar sentiments; it’s a fair question to ask after establishing a surveyor is qualified to survey the type of boat you’re considering. Here are some questions to ask before asking about price:

1. How long have you been surveying boats? Several years of experience are no guarantee of competence, but, as with any profession, it’s a terrific start. Also, what marine-related experience does the surveyor have? A lot of surveyors came to the profession via boat repair yards, which is another plus; having done re-

If you plan to be there during the inspection, be sure to ask if it’s OK. Most surveyors prefer you be there, if for no other reason than to make sure you understand whatever problems they encounter. However, there are a few surveyors who prefer to work alone.

4. How much do you charge? Once you’ve found the best person for the job, ask about price and what’s included. Some surveyors want an up-front deposit and a few want to be paid in full. You may also be asked to sign a written agreement. As with any contract, read it before you sign.

A Guide to Winter Fishing: Location, species, and lures leading to successful winter fishing Dear anglers, before you contemplate on putting away your fishing gear, here is a guide on how to get the most out of the winter fishing season. By: KATHERINE M CLEMENTS

fast and the temperatures drop low, anglers may be compelled to pack away lures and fishing rods until next spring. But fishing in cold weather can be as great as it is in the summer, especially since the weather keeps most anglers cozied up next to their woodburning stoves. Winter is a particularly great time to fish because freshwater species group up, meaning more fish on your lure. But winter fishing takes some prep. Like any fishing season, location is essential. Picking the right spot to cast your line is pivotal. If you aren’t sure where the good fishing spots are during the winter months, check out your state’s (or the state you’ll be fishing in) Department of Fish and Wildlife website. They have all the up-to-date information on what fish are in which lakes, what time of year offers the best catch, and any limitations you will need to heed. The CDFW offers an updated map of legal fishing locations, Quagga infested areas, and legal boating locations. Currently in California, ocean salmon, giant sea bass, and red abalone are all closed fishing seasons, however, there are over 26 open fishing seasons including lingcod, California sheepshead, seabass, tuna, and Dungeness crab. CDFW has created a fishing general guide highlighting great places to fish in California. The online map-based fishing guide can help anglers plan fishing activities and it contains a variety of information including fish planting locations, freshwater sport fishing regulations, marine protected areas, and much more. The CDFW also shares its R3 program to encourage and advises anglers on all things hunting and fishing. During January in California, the best fish to catch are sturgeons. Surrounded by San Rafael, Vallejo, and San Francisco, the San Pablo Bay carries the reputation of a wintertime sturgeon Mecca. A combination of moving tides, bolstered by rainfall-induced freshwater flows from the Petaluma River, Napa River, and Sonoma Creek, churn up the estuary, providing ideal conditions for concentrations of feeding “diamondbacks.” Halibut begin to arrive in sheltered bays in February, from San Diego to Eureka. This aggressive bottom feeder is a popular target for anglers working in these California waters during the winter, and is a popular menu item for restaurants during this season; these fish prefer vast expanses of sandy bottoms.

CALIFORNIA — While winter comes up

Bass fishing during the winter months can give anglers access to bigger fish and quieter days on the lake. Daylight is one of the best times to catch smallmouth bass. If you’re out before sunrise until a few minutes after the sun comes up, you’re guaranteed some bites. The “flatfish” typically range between 10 to 25 pounds, with some approaching 40 pounds. Regulations require anglers to toss back any that don’t meet the 22inch, minimum-size length restriction. Notable hotspots include Oceanside Pier, Morro Bay, Monterey Bay, San Francisco Bay, Tomales Bay, Bodega Head, Shelter Cove, and Humboldt Bay. Spring of 2022 will begin March 20, giving anglers one more chance for winter fishing. In Yuba County, Collins Lake grows largemouth bass that feed on a healthy forage base (including stocked rainbow trout). Good electronics help locate bass suspended in deep water, off points, humps, and the main-creek edges. Pitching jigs or plastic worms are effective but must be used in deep waters and presented slowly. As the water temperatures rise, bass seek food, and topwater action improves. Reaction lures spur aggressive strikes with larger fish preferring spinnerbaits and crankbaits, while others are hooked by anglers “frogging” over the increasing weed growth. For strictly freshwater winter fishing in California, here is the winter season’s best four offers: • Black crappie: Black crappies fare better in deep, clear reservoirs in the northern part of California. • Yellow perch: Yellow perch are mostly found in the weedy backwaters of lakes and large ponds usually in warmer waters in Northern California. Those that are found in colder water usually have stunted growth. • Bluegill: To catch a winter bluegill, it is suggested that anglers use an ultralight freshwater fishing rod and jigs

A well-stocked tackle box is an angler’s best friend. Diversity throughout your lures opens endless possibilities. tipped with minnows and waxworms around beds close to the periods of dawn and dusk. Bluegills are mostly found in warm, shallow lakes, reservoirs, ponds, and sloughs at low elevations. Bluegills thrive in Northern California.

ris in Riverside County is the best lake for using swimbait, along with Lake Casitas in Ventura County. The two lakes are worth visiting from November through February as it is prime time of the year for bass fishing.

•Channel catfish: Channel catfish are found mostly in the main channels of large, warm water streams with sand, gravel, or rubble bottoms but can also be found in farm ponds, reservoirs, and turbid muddy bottomed rivers. Channel catfish are often found in the Balboa Park reflecting pond in San Diego.

• Pier fishing: Pier fishing isn’t only for warmer weather. During the winter, pier fishing in Huntington Beach and neighboring beach cities offers the strong possibility to catch halibut, surfperches, and more.

The best locations in Southern California for winter fishing according to active.com: • Southern California lakes: Lake Per-

• The California Delta: The California Delta is a rare location that make bass fishing in the winter a possibility. Near Sacramento, Stockton, and San Francisco, this 1,000-mile waterway is flowing with different species of fish, making for very exciting fishing.

River at Weitchpec, the 100-mile-long Trinity River is one of the most recognized steelhead trout streams on the West Coast. For steelhead fly fishing, the upper 40 miles of the Trinity near Lewiston is perfect because of its deep pools and ledge rock shelves that sit between canyons and lush evergreen forests. As for baits, there are seven that anglers should have in their tackle box during the winter fishing season. Anglers should remember to start using brightly-colored or lightly-colored lures when visibility is low. Softer light makes it harder for fish to see, limiting where they can see your lure. A bright-colored lure will have the most significant reach for fish to see it. It’s helpful to start with white-colored lures and then try other bright ones if white isn’t working. According to Karl’s Bait and Tackle. The seven lures fishermen need are:

Lake Perris is an artificial lake that offers great spotted bass fishing. The stocked lake also offers the option for rainbow trout and channel catfish.

• Eastern Sierra: The California Department of Fish and Wildlife keeps the Eastern Sierra’s stocked with golden trout, rainbow trout, bass, and catfish. Inyo and Mono counties host year-round open water during the winter months when attendance is typically low. • Lower Sacramento River: Just below the Shasta Dam, the “Lower Sac” is known as one of the best tailwater fish-

eries in the U.S. Winter is the ideal time for enthusiastic fishermen who want to avoid crowds, to continue their fishing hobby throughout winter. Massive rainbow trout and the late-fall salmon are plentiful during the cooler months and because of low river flow, wade fishing is also an option from December throughout February. • Trinity River: Spanning from Lewiston Dam near Weaverville to Klamath

Your daily quest for adventure has

The jerkbait: A suspending or slow sinking jerkbait can work well when the water temperatures drop, and the winter fishing season commences. Don’t forget to change your cadence often and alternate jerks and the length of pauses. Underspins: This lure is all about presentation. First, rig it up with your favorite swimbait body and let it sink to the bottom of the water column. After that, you can slow roll your underspin across the cover or even jerk it off the bottom and let it sink back down.

Blade baits: This lure is often underutilized but can catch some big fish in the winter months. It’s most often fished by vertical jigging, but anglers can do any variation they want. As the bait sinks, it slowly flutters and flashes to the bottom, making it irresistible to bass. The jig: The finesse jig, casting jig, or even a football jig will suffice. It works best when it is cast out and slowly dragged across the bottom. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different-sized trailers. Consider downsizing by trimming up the skirt if you’re not getting any bites. The drop shot: This lure offers the ultimate finesse technique for winter fishing. Bass anglers love throwing the drop shot when the bite is tough. The natural colors work great during the winter months. Don’t forget to continue to adjust your leader length until you find those suspended fish! Grub: A jig head and a grub can be a killer presentation when the fish are hard to catch. So please don’t knock it ‘til you try it! Spybait: This new bait has gained much attention since the Bassmaster Elite Series tournament on Lake St. Clair. The spybait is perfect for suspending lures for winter fishing and can be fishing slow or fast in almost any depth. Whether its ice fishing for walleye or lakeside bass fishing, winter fishing is just as rewarding as summer, but dress warm and head out to the water prepared.

Newport Beach Introduces Marine Pump Protection with Particle Separator Device Local Newport Beach boater, George Hylkema has created a device that will save the city thousands of dollars in pump repairs and maintenance.

NE WPORT BE ACH — Newport Beach tried something new in 2021 by installing a new invention by Newport Beach local George Hylkema. The city of Newport Beach has installed newly modified SaniSailor pumps. The city of Newport Beach currently has five vessels pump out systems installed throughout the bay that are used 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Within the SaniSailors there is a new device designed by Hylkema. The device is called a Particle Separator and helps to pump out wastewater and sewage from boats, where it is then drained into the city’s sewage system until it finally heads off to the sanitation district. In the bay, it is absolutely prohibited to execute this on your own; all pumping must go through the SaniSailor pump on the dock. The initiative is funded by the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust fund through the California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways. Pump failures are an expensive and inconvenience for boaters, and it risks the possibility of improper waste disposal. If even one screw enters the pump it will destroy the hose inside; a replacement hose can cost roughly $1,200. The Particle Separator was developed by Hylkema and will ensure functionality and longevity of the SaniSailor pumps, eliminating the possibility for the pumps to break. The Particle Separator has no moving parts or filters (with attendant biohazard issues) that can effectively protect dockside marine waste pumps from damage by removing the offending parti-

The wooden box that houses the Particle Separator is installed on the dock. The tubes coming out of both sides carry the wastewater and sewage through the device, separating out any lose particles that could damage the hose and destroy the pump.

cles from the waste flow before they can enter the pump. Newport Beach spends about $30,000 a year in maintaining these pumps. Other installation methods are possible, but the current Particle Separator devices are installed in a locked wooden housing and are secured to the dock next to the pump system. “I started thinking about how to prevent screws from getting into the pump, so I built a device that worked, I refined it and presented it to the city,” said Hylkema. “I tested them for a few months and the city has bought five of them from me, three of which have already been installed. What they do is to take particles out of the flow of sewage. The device has a tongue that divides it in half, so that they waste must go down…when it gets to the larger section, the flow rate is slow that anything heavy goes to the bottom. It can’t make the turn to get back up.”

The large black base of the device collects loose particles filtered out of the sewage. The container is checked once a week to clear out whatever is caught but will soon change to once a month.

Newport Beach has maintained Particle Separators for approximately five months on five new pump systems. Within these past few months, particles have already been found during inspections. These various items would have likely caused an internal hose failure if this device was not in place. The Particle Separator consists of a hollow Sanitary Tee (a fitting designed to connect a branch line into a vertical drain line) with side ports. The lower end is expanded in diameter and connected to the receiver cup. It is constructed of industry-accepted, marine-grade polymeric materials and has an uncomplicated, long-term use estimation. The system works because the waste flow from the boat enters the Particle Separator through the inlet connection and exits on the other side through an outlet fitting, through a short hose to the

waste pump. A “tongue” divides the device lengthwise between these fittings terminating above the bottom of the device. Waste entering the device is directed downward by the tongue, which deposits the particles in the receiver cup as the upward flow goes around the tongue’s end, out the exit, and into the pump. Routine inspection of the device is straightforward. The system is flushed with seawater. The bottom receiver is released, and the particle receiver is emptied and inspected for content. A v ideo of the pump from Cit y of New por t Be a ch’s “ The V i l la ge Green” program, can be found on the Newport Beach website, showing the SaniSailor pumps and the Par ticle Separator.

Blessing of the Waters By: KATHERINE M

CLEMENTS

VENTURA— On Jan. 9, the Ventura Harbor Village will host its annual Epiphany Service: Blessing of the Water, from noon until 1 p.m. The St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church of Camarillo is inviting residents for a procession of clergy, choir, and divers from The Greek Restaurant to the nearby dockside. Youths will dive into the water from the back of a Harbor Patrol vessel Friar Gary preparing to throw the cross into the water. to retrieve a floating cross that will be tossed into the water, by the priest. Divers are primarily youths, but adults are welcomed to participate separately as well. The event, that has been held in the harbor since 1980, is to bless and protect the waters and those who sail on them. Swimming for the cross is believed to bring special blessings for the rest of the year to those who choose to dive. In addition, whoever succeeds in retrieving the cross will have good luck for an entire year. Following the ceremony, a luncheon will be served at The Greek, a restaurant located in Ventura that has hosted the luncheon since 1995. The luncheon is a fundraiser for St. Demetrious Greek Orthodox Church. For more information, please contact Lynn Mikelatos at (805) 650-5350 or email lynn@thegreekventura.com.

Ten youth swimmers leap from the boat and race to retrieve the cross.

The cross has been retrieved.

Balboa Pavilion: One of California’s last remaining waterfront pavilions NEWPORT BEACH— The Balboa Pavilion was built in 1905 and quickly became the focal point of the Balboa Peninsula. The Newport Bay Investment Company received permission to construct the pavilion from the War Department on Sept. 20, 1905. Orignially the pavilion was to be used as a Victorian bathhouse and terminal for the Pacific Electric Red Car line connecting Balboa Island to Los Angeles. In 1906 the pavilion was joined by the Balboa Pier, making it a visitor destination and prime real estate for developers in the area. The original building had an 8,000-square-foot meeting room on the second floor, and the first floor was just a bathhouse where people could change into their swimsuits. In 1923 the building was converted

into a dance hall, joining with premier dance hall Rendezvous Ballroom in the 20s and hosting popular big bands like Benny Goodman and Nat King Cole throughout the 30s and 40s. The pavilion served as a hub of activity, hosting two 35-foot speed boats, the Queen and Miss California, which became thrilling attractions for visitors, sportfishing excursions, and a 45-foot boat called the Magic Isle, which took visitors out on sight-seeing trips. The pavilion became the home of activities throughout the decades and became a designated California Point of Historical Interest in 1981. The pavilion still stands a focal point of Newport’s waterfront with several opportunities for whale watching, sportfishing, boat rentals, and the iconic Harborside Restaurant.

Recycling boats has solved the problem that boat owners face when they no longer wish to possess their vessels. The program is also cleaning up the oceans as they clear out dilapidated wrecks below the surface.

Recycled Shipwrecks By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS FRANCE—Hundreds of pleasure boats

reach the end of their life each year all along the shorelines of France. According to the database made available by the Hyd rog raphic a nd Ocea nog raphic Service of the Navy (SHOM), the French public operator for statistics and figures for maritime and coastal geography, more than 4,700 boat wrecks rest on the seabed off the French coast, including 4,200 near the metropolitan shoreline. Faced with this observation, Association pour la Plaisance Eco-Responsible (APER, known as the Association for Eco-Responsible Pleasure in English) has

given itself the task of recovering endof-life boats and recycling them. Wrecks and battered ship frames on the shores are no longer inevitable. So, since 2019, APER has dedicated itself to recycling boats. Initially created by the Federation of Nautical Industries (FIN) in 2009, the association mainly had an information role. Many eco-organizations have surfaced, making it possible to organize the prevention and management of specific waste such as batteries and accumulators, paper, and electronic equipment. Eighty percent of pleasure crafts were built before the 2000s, with an average lifespan of 30 to 40 years. The boats that

qualify for recycling are pleasure boats from 8 to 75 feet registered in France. The owner can then contact the APER via the site recyclermonbateau.fr to ask about discarding their vessel. The eco-organization is responsible for putting the boat owner in touch with a deconstruction center. When a boat arrives at a deconstruction center, the focus is placed on three materials: metals, wood, and composites. The metals are separated and then grouped before being recycled. Depending on the wood’s quality, 50 percent will be recycled into chipboard. The wood of poor quality, which cannot go through the paneling process, is crushed, and goes

into energy recovery. The product will supply cement factories, hot water, or electricity production plants. The third material is the most problematic. It is a composite, such as polyester or fiberglass. Unfortunately, the composites have no known pure recycling solution. Sixty percent of these composites go into energy recovery, and the remaining 40 percent are discarded. France is the only country to construct and operate this kind of system. Since Sept. 2019, the eco-organization has deconstructed and recycled more than 4,000 pleasure boats, around 2,300 in 2021 alone.

ON THE HORIZONS

The U.S. brought it back around in season two jumping from last place to an overall second place for the regular season.

SailGP Qualifies for San Francisco Championship By: JORDAN B. DARLING

SYDNEY— The United States finished in second place at the Australia Sail Grand Prix on Dec. 17 and 18, placing them in the Grand Final set for San Francisco. The placement put them in an overall second-place spot for the season, qualifying them for the winner-take-all $1 million Season 2 Grand Final at the United States Sail Grand Prix San Francisco, March 26-27. U.S. Sail GP experienced a comeback story, starting out the season in last place to end up on the podium and in the running for the Grand Final. “We started the season in last place after being taken out by the Japanese team,” said U.S. SailGP Team’s CEO and Driver Jimmy Spithill. “It was about the worst possible way for a new team to enter a competition. But we’ve fought our way through broken bones, hitting things, and capsizes.” The U.S. started the first day of races at the bottom of the pack, flipping between sixth and eighth place in the first race; gained a penalty in the second race for an early start but picked it up in the last legs of the race, gaining a third-place spot; in race three the US got caught behind a collision between Japan and Great Britain delaying their start but finished with a second-place spot.

On day two, the U.S. started in fourth place with seven legs of the race in front of them, jumping to third in the second leg of the race behind Japan and New Zealand; they were challenged with high winds and went head to head with Australia finishing in third place; race five had the U.S. in seventh place at the beginning of the race the foils dipped into 55.9 miles an hour, the U.S. came in third on the fourth leg of the race after Spain took a penalty for not letting them in but quickly dropped down to fifth after Australia sped past them and Spain overtook them again, the U.S. jumped back up to a fourth-place where they finished in the last leg of race five. The final race of the day was between Spain, the U.S., and Australia, the race had the U.S. and Australia neck and neck throughout the race with Australia finishing in a slight lead putting the U.S. in an overall second-place finish. Per Sail GP rules, only the top three overall teams of the season qualify for entry to the grand final and the $1 million prize. Going into the Sydney race, five points separated the top four positions on the leaderboard, with Australia at the top, the U.S. and Japan one point behind, and Great Britain trailing behind by just four points. Australia, the U.S., and Spain will face off in San Francisco for the championship.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FISHING NEWS

Razor Clams Fishery Closes Again Due to Public Health Hazard By: KATHERINE M CLEMENTS

the California Department of Fish and Wildlife announced the razor clam fishery in Del Norte County will once again close due to public health hazards. The decision to close the fishery follows the recommendation from the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, which, in consultation with the California Department of Public Health, have determined the consumption of razor clams taken from Del Norte County poses a significant threat for domoic acid exposure. This fishery reopened on April 29, 2021, following a five-year closure. Pseudo-nitzschia is a naturally occurring single-celled marine alga that produces potent neurotoxin domoic acid under certain ocean conditions. Bivalve shellfish such as clams and mussels collect the toxin without being harmed. Razor clams are known to bioaccumulate domoic acid, meaning they may not clear their system until long after a bloom has diminished. Early December testing of razor clams from Crescent Beach in Crescent City found clams surpassing the current federal action level for domoic acid of greater than or equal to 20 parts per million. Domoic acid poisoning in humans can occur within minutes to hours after consuming affected seafood. It can result in

DEL N ORTE C OUNT Y — On Dec. 16,

During the closure of the fishery, state health agencies continue to assess domoic acid levels in razor clams. However, clams recently collected from Crescent City in March and April 2021 all had domoic acid concentrations lower than this action level. It is unknown when the fishery will reopen. symptoms varying from vomiting and diarrhea to permanent short-term memory loss, coma, or death. There is no way to prepare infected clams by removing the

toxin for safe consumption. Cooking and freezing have no effect. Health agencies will continue to monitor domoic acid in razor clams in Del

Norte County. For more information please visit the CDFW website.

South Coast Steelhead Coalition

tight lines California Department of Fish and Wildlife Awards $9.7 Million for Fisheries Habitat Restoration Program Projects C A L I F O R N I A — The California Depa r tment of Fish a nd W i ld life announced they would fully fund, to the tune of $9.7 million, 15 projects focused on restoration, enhancement, and protection of salmon habitat in California watersheds. The projects were selected from 61 proposals submitted to the CDFW, totaling more than $35.9 million in funding, in response to the 2021 Fisheries Habitat Restoration Grant Solicitation. The funding will come from the Fisheries Restoration Grant Program, initially established in 1981. Funding will also come from the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration’s Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund, which has been a part of the program since 2000. The Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund was established by Congress to reverse the decline of Pacific salmon and steelhead throughout California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska. The 15 projects will further the objectives of state and federal fisheries recov-

ery plans, including remov ing barriers to fish migration, restoring riparian habitat, recovering wildfire impacts detrimental to rivers, and creating a more resilient and sustainably managed water r e sou r c e s s y s t em (e.g., water supply, water quality, and habitat) to withstand drought conditions.

Facebook post from Bubba Jean Sportfishing. “It’s a fun day on the water!” This funky little dude sticks close to giant kelp and other seaweed to take advantage of its blade-shaped body to blend into its environment. They come in various colors, and some kelpfish can change colors to match the environment around them. They generally range from British Columbia to Southern Baja California and eat small crustaceans, fish, and mollusks. They generally grow up to two feet and are related to fringe heads. In other cool news, when they are larval young, they sometimes school with transparent mysid shrimp, according to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. “Day 22 and they still haven’t noticed I am not one of them.”

 SAN DIEGO— Southern California offshore anglers saw a series of storms move through Southern California during the late part of December, but the weather cleared as the New Year approached allowing anglers to get back out on the water and do some fishing over New Years weekend.



 I know of no boats that tried to fish offshore waters for tuna and swordfish. Before the series of recent storms, there were good numbers of 20 to 35-pound bluefin tuna biting at the Tanner Bank and there was also a chance at catching a swordfish via the deep drop method while fishing at the 9 Mile Bank and the 178 Spot.

Anglers need to keep in mind that the annual two-month rockfish/groundfish closure went into effect on Jan. 1. The closure will run through Feb. 28 and during the two-month closure period anglers will need to travel into Mexican waters if they want to fish for the various rockfish or groundfish species that are covered by the closure. During the closure period, skippers fishing in U.S. waters will be focusing on species that are not covered by the closure such as calico bass, sand bass, sculpin, halibut, yellowtail, and white seabass. Another reminder is to make sure you get your 2022 California fishing license before venturing out to do some fishing in U.S. and California waters.



The water temperature in areas producing bluefin and swordfish took a hit from the recent series of storms and the drop in temperature might well have been enough to have sent the fish packing and headed to warmer waters for the winter months. Before the recent series of storms, the water temperature out at the Tanner Bank was 61.5 degrees and has dropped to 58.5 degrees.



It is a similar story out at the 9 Mile Bank and the 178 Spot with what was 61.5-degree water before the storms dipping to 59.5 degrees. Maybe someone will go out and try the Tanner Bank, 9 Mile Bank, and 178 Spot to see if there are still some bluefin tuna or swordfish around. Even with 58.5 and 59.5-degree water, it would not surprise me much if there were still some bluefin tuna to be caught at the Tanner Bank and some swordfish to be found at the 9 Mile Bank and the 178 Spot.



There have been no recent reports about surface fishing around Los Coronado Islands with few if any boats out giving it a try. There have been some boats fishing for assorted bottom fish species at hard bottom areas to the north and the northwest of North Island that have been catching a good mix of reds, salmon grouper, and assorted rockfish.

Much of the fishing along the San Diego County coast during the cold-water months are targeting the calico bass, sand bass, and sculpin which is more often than not done at hard bottom and structure spots. The Imperial Beach Pipeline was a good spot over New Years’ weekend and produced a nice mix of sand bass, calico bass, sculpin, and perch. Other productive hard bottom and structure spots that have been producing a mixed bag of fish are the hard bottom to the southeast of the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma, the hard bottom to the northwest of Buoy #3 at Point Loma, the Lighthouse Ridge off the Point Loma Lighthouse, the Jetty Kelp hard bottom outside of Mission Bay, the Variety Kelp hard bottom off Pacific Beach, the Anderson and Buccaneer Pipelines, the

Full story will be found online. Bob Vanian is the voice, writer, and researcher of the San Diego-based internet fish report service called 976Bite which can be found at www.976bite. com. Vanian also provides anglers with a personal fish report service over the telephone at (619) 226-8218. He always welcomes your fish reports at that same phone number or at bob976bite@aol. com.



New Seaforth out of Seaforth Sportfishing has started to run extended half-day trips to fish for rockfish in Mexican waters during the annual twomonth rockfish and groundfish closure in U.S. federal and California state waters, which went into effect on Jan. 1. The most recent count on New Seaforth reflected a great trip with 29 anglers catching their limits of 290 rockfish. Productive areas have been found in a wide variety of depths ranging from 30 to 130-plus fathoms with Seaforth Sportfishing suggesting that anglers include a deepwater capable outfit that is able to fish depths to 800 feet (133+ fathoms) in the tackle that they bring.
