BIZARRE
Deep-sea fish sees through its forehead By: JORDAN B. DARLING
eyes on the back of their head to catch unsuspecting offspring amid some transgression to house rules, but I have yet to hear someone say they have eyes on their forehead. A deep-sea fish founded in 1939 coined, the barreleye fish, has tubular eyes set into its transparent forehead. The barreleye fish has extremely light-sensitive eyes capped with bright green lenses that can rotate in the transparent fluid-filled shield on its forehead. The eyes can point up when the fish is looking for food and forward when the fish is eating. To complete the unusual setup, the bit where it looks like the eyes should go above the mouth are actually olfactory organs called nares, according to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. In 2009 researchers from the institute wrote a paper that filled in the blanks about the animal’s ocular methods, finding the eyes could in fact, rotate. Until this point, researchers believed the eyes were fixed in place, which would make it challenging for the fish to see anything in front of it. The fish falls into the ‘barreleye’ category because of the tubular shape of their eyes; tubular-shaped eyes are great at collecting light which is a neat trick for deep-sea dwellers. Researchers from the Monterey Bay

MONTEREY— Parents will say they have
A barreleye fish (Macropinna microstoma) observed by MBARI’s ROV Ventana during a dive from the R/V Rachel Carson with the Monterey Bay Aquarium on December 1, 2021. Aquarium Research Institute, Bruce Robison and Kim Reisenbichler use remotely operated vehicles to study the fish off the Central California coast at depths between 2,000-2,600 feet. After observation, Robison and Reisenbichler devel-
oped a hypothesis that the fish spends its time hanging motionless in the water with its eyes looking upward; the green lens filters out the sun, allowing the fish to see the bioluminescent glow of potential prey. The fish can reach up to six inch-
es and is found in the Bering Sea to Japan and Baja California; it feeds on zooplankton, including crustaceans and siphonophores. To learn more, see the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute at https://www.mbari.org/.
LATEST NEWS UPDATES
blips on the radar: Southern California Oil Spill By Jordan B. Darling
WHAT HAPPENED : On Oct. 2, 2021, there
was a report of an oil slick off the coast of Newport Beach. The oil slick was reported to be 13-square miles and was spotted just three miles off the coast of Newport Beach. Preliminary results from an investigation found a 13-inch crack in a pipeline connected to an oil platform owned by Amplify Energy Corporation. As a result, the CDFW closed fisheries from Huntington Beach down the coast to Dana Point and extended the closure on Oct. 5 and 7 to include 650 square miles of marine waters and 45 miles of shoreline to include all bays and harbors from Seal Beach to San Onofre State Beach. On Oct. 8, Dana Point Harbor reopened with soft openings for beachgoers, and on Oct. 11, the city of Newport reopened its beaches to the public. The CDFW continued to enforce closures on fisheries up and down the Southern California coast until they lifted the closure on Nov. 30. As of Oct. 10, at 7:30 a.m. USCG, CDFW, Orange County, and San Diego County reported that more
than 1,600 people were involved in conducting response operations; 5,544 total gallons of crude oil have been recovered by vessel; 13.6 barrels of tar balls were recovered; approximately 250,000 pounds of oily debris had been recovered from shorelines. Shorelines are undergoing continued clean-up efforts; two overflights were scheduled for Oct. 17; 11,400 feet of containment boom had been deployed. On Oct. 11, 2021, Lieff Cabraser, an attorney law firm with a background in environmental cases, and their co-counsel filed a federal class-action lawsuit in the Central District of California on behalf of anglers, local property owners, and other members of the community affected by the spill against Amplify Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation Beta Operating Company LLC, and San Pedro Bay Pipeline Company. On Nov. 19, the cargo ship Beijing was identified as the most likely cause of the Huntington spill; allegedly, the ship dragged its anchor across the pipeline creating the crack.
WHAT’S ON TAP : On Dec. 15, 2021, a federal
grand jury accused three companies of illegally discharging oil during the pipeline break by acting negligently in at least six ways, according to the United States Department of Justice website. “Failing to properly respond to eight alarms from an automated leak detection system that were activated between 4:10 p.m. on October 1 until the final alarm at 5:28 a.m. the following day,” said the press release from the Department of Justice. “Shutting down and then restarting the pipeline five times after the first five alarms were triggered on October 1, resulting in oil flowing through the damaged pipeline for a cumulative period of more than three hours; Despite the sixth and seventh alarms, pumping oil for three additional hours late on October 1 into the early morning hours of October 2 while a manual leak test was performed; Despite the eighth alarm, operating the pipeline for nearly one hour in the predawn hours of October 2 after a boat they contacted failed to see discharged oil in the middle
of the night; Operating the pipeline with crewmembers who had not been sufficiently trained on the automated leak detection system; and Operating the pipeline with an understaffed and fatigued crew.” The charge carries a statutory maximum of five years of probation, as well as fines that could add up to millions of dollars. The case is under investigation, and Assistant United States Attorneys Matthew O’Brien and Brian Faerstein of the Environmental and Community Safety Crimes Section are prosecuting this case. On the litigation side, which was filed in Oct. 2021, on Dec. 21, 2021, U.S. District Judge David O. Carter of the Central District of California appointed Lieff Cabraser partner, Lexi J. Hazam as Interim Co-Lead Counsel in the Orange County Oil Spill Litigation. Judge Carter also appointed three Special Masters to assist the Court in the litigation.

Red Light, Green Light By: KATHERINE
CLEMENTS
UNITED STATES — Those lights at the bow of the boat aren’t just Christmas decorations, they play a very important role on a boat.
In 1838, The United States passed the Admiralty Law, also known as the maritime law, which is a combination of U.S. and international laws. Under this law it is required that steamboats operating between sunset and sunrise must carry one or more signal lights; color, visibility, and location were not spec-

FAST FACTS
These sidelights can also be referred to as combination lights. The red light is always port side, and green is always on the starboard side of the vessel. ified. The consideration of the law came after numerous vessels crashing due to weak visibility of one another during hindered lighting. In 1846, the United Kingdom passed legislation that allowed Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom (the ceremonial head of the Royal Navy) to publish regulations that required all sea-going steam vessels carry lights.
On Board With Johnson
by J.R. Johnson
In 1848, the admiralty exercised these powers and finalized the requirement of displaying red and green sidelights as well as the white masthead light above, and the all-around white light when anchored, as confirmed by maritime attorney, David Weil. Today, navigational lights aboard ships are determined by the International Maritime Organization. They have established a criterion for light requirements based on the size and make of the vessel. The red and green lights are called navigation lights and they help other boaters determine which vessel needs to give the right-of-way when crossing paths in the dark. These navigation lights must be displayed from sunset to sunrise, or when visibility is restricted out on the water. The red and green lights are one of four important navigation lights on a boat, and they are also called side lights. Side lights must be visible to other boat-
ers on either side of the vessel, which allows the other boater to determine if the vessels are approaching each other head-on. The red light indicates a vessel’s port side, which is the left side, and the green light indicates the vessel’s starboard side, which is the right side. These lights help vessels pass each other safely when daylight is not an option. Other navigation lights include the sternlight, a white light seen only from behind or close behind a vessel; the masthead light which is a white light the shines forward on both sides of the vessel. Masthead lights are a requirement on any power-driven boat. Absence of this light would indicate to other boaters that that vessel is a sailing vessel. The last navigation light is the all-round white light. This light is required on boats powered by an engine that are less than 39.4 feet and serves as an anchor light when sidelights (such as the red and green lights) are extinguished.

ator card issued by the Division of Boating and Waterways. The California Boater Card shows that the holder successfully took an approved boating safety course and passed the corresponding exam. The requirement for the card began to roll out in 2018 with anyone 16 to 20 years old, and it is expected that every age demographic will need a card by 2025. This is a rule for California residents who own and operate boats in state waters, including Lake Havasu, Lake Tahoe, and the Colorado River, even though they are considered state-shared waterways. For out-of-state visitors, they can operate a boat in California waters if they are operating the vessel for less than 60 days and have met their state’s
requirements. “Under Harbors & Navigation code 678.11(c)(1) (A), a person who is a resident of a state other than California who is temporarily operating a vessel in California for less than 60 days and meets the boating requirements, if any, of his/her state, does not need a California Boater Card,” said Adeline Yee, informational officer for California State Parks in a Jan. 5 email.

news briefs By Katherine M. Clements
LOCAL L.A. County Ports Will Keep ‘Container Dwell Fee’ On Hold SAN PEDRO— On Jan. 13, The Port of
Los Angeles and the Port of Los Angeles announced they would delay the consideration of the ‘Container Dwell Fee’ once again, this time until April 29. The program was initially announced on Oct. 29, 2021, and was set to last 90 days. Since then, the two ports have seen a combined decline of 35 percent in mellowing the cargo on the docks. As predicted, the year-end holiday season has slowed the progress of the cargo backlog compared to previous weeks. The executive directors of both ports will reassess putting the fee into action after monitoring data throughout the week of Jan. 10. Both ports have postponed fee implementation since the start of the program. Under the provisional policy approved on Oct. 29, 2021, by the Harbor Commissions of both ports, ocean carriers can be charged for each import container that falls into one of two categories. For containers scheduled to move by truck, the ocean carriers could be charged for every container that dwells for nine days or more. For containers transported via rail, ocean carriers could be charged if a container has dwelled for six or more days. No date has been set to start the count concerning container dwell time. Both ports plan to charge ocean carriers a $100 fee per container under both conditions, increasing in $100 increments per container per day until the container has left the terminal. Any fees compiled from dwelling cargo will be reinvested into programs designed to enhance efficiency, accelerate cargo velocity, and address congestion impacts.

SAN DIEGO— On Jan. 7, a wayward sea
lion was rescued after the animal managed to wander to the side of the freeway near San Diego’s Fairmount Park neighborhood. Marine wildlife rescuers say this isn’t the first time this animal has pulled a stunt like this. “We don’t know exactly how he got here but this animal has been in our rescue facility before,” said Eric Ojten of the SeaWorld San Diego Rescue Team in an NBC San Diego interview. “He was rescued in early November from Harbor Island Drive and was released shortly after and has been showing up in kind of odd situations and spots since then. This is the weirdest, though.” The California Highway Patrol called SeaWorld to assist. Using three large nets, the rescue crew was able to coral the sea lion into a large metal cage where the animal was then transported to SeaWorld. It remains unknown how the sea lion made it so far from the ocean; authorities reported no injuries to

What can I do about a marine surveyor, who I feel didn’t do his job? BW
I recently bought a boat over the internet. I never QUESTION: saw the boat in person before the purchase because it was a few hundred miles away, but I hired a marine surveyor to in-
spect the boat so I figured he would look out for my interests. Unfortunately, the surveyor missed a long list of pretty obvious problems. I would like to lodge a complaint against him, but I can’t figure out who to contact. The surveyor is a Coast Guard licensed captain, but the Coast Guard won’t talk to me about this. Is there a state agency that regulates marine surveyors? If not, can I sue him for something like this?
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 562-799-5508, through his website at www.weilmaritime.com, or via email at dweil@weilmaritime.com.
ANSWER: This scenario raises a number of problems that need to be addressed before we answer our reader’s specific questions. First, no one should ever buy a boat without first going aboard and looking at things with their own eyes. That sounds fairly obvious but we are currently in a unique market. The COVID19 pandemic has created a big surge in used boat sales, and with limited inventory available long-distance purchases are a lot more common than they were before the pandemic. This advice should apply to surveyors as well. The purpose of a pre-purchase marine survey is to evaluate the physical condition of the boat and to appraise the value, both of which may theoretically be done without any input from the buyer. But a surveyor needs to work with a buyer in person, to evaluate the buyer’s needs and concerns and to confirm the boat in question will meet those needs. As for our reader’s specific questions, we can start by correcting a fairly common mistake. Marine surveyors are not licensed or regulated by any government agency. There is no licensing requirement, Please see ATTORNEY, PAGE 7

Attorney From page 6
and anyone with a volt meter and a ballpeen hammer can hang up a sign tomorrow and call himself a surveyor. A surveyor who promotes himself as a licensed captain is simply using the license as a marketing tool since the Coast Guard has no jurisdiction over his duties as a surveyor. It’s like showing your FAA pilot’s license to get a job as a truck driver. This lack of government oversight may be traced to the wide range of services performed by surveyors, and the practical obstacles to the regulation of those services through one agency. Most boat owners will need a surveyor when they buy a boat, and for insurance renewal purposes. However, a surveyor may also be called upon to survey large commercial vessels, evaluate compliance with regulatory requirements, perform marine insurance investigations, including investigations for damaged cargo from merchant ships, and testify as expert witnesses in litigation. No surveyor is qualified to perform all these tasks, and no one government agency could effectively regulate or monitor such a varied profession. So marine surveyors are not regulated by the government, but the maritime community has its own tools for setting standards of competency. Surveyors rely heavily on referrals from lenders and yacht brokers for pre-purchase inspections, and assignments from insurance companies to investigate claims. Their success or failure in the profession will depend upon the strength of their reputation in the eyes of these professionals. Boat purchasers may look to their yacht broker for a referral to a surveyor, but this referral may be tainted by a conflict of interest since a yacht broker has a vested interest in getting the boat sold. A surveyor’s membership in an industry trade group may provide more insight into their qualifications. Many qualified surveyors belong to either the National Association of Marine Surveyors (“NAMS”) or the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors (“SAMS”). These trade groups will designate their members as “Certified” (through NAMS), or “Accredited” (through SAMS). Many boat owners mistake these designations for a license of some sort, and while neither organization has any government affiliation, their endorsement can provide some assurance as to the surveyor’s qualifications. More information is available online, for NAMS at www.namsglobal.org and for SAMS at www.marinesurvey.org. Our reader’s final question concerned whether he could sue is surveyor. I will first warn that it is impossible to evaluate a legal claim without reviewing the facts of a dispute in significant depth, so I can’t directly answer our reader’s question other than to say “yes,” a boat owner may sue a surveyor for negligence. But the fact that the surveyor missed a few problems does not, by itself, mean he was legally negligent. An evaluation of negligence starts by asking whether a hypothetical reasonably qualified person in the same situation would have done anything differently, and then we need to ask whether the buyer would have done anything differently. All of this needs to be
discussed with a qualified maritime attorney who is able to look closely at the facts of the case. David Weil is licensed to practice law in the state of California and as such, some of the information provided in this column may not be applicable in a jurisdiction outside of California. Please note also that no two legal situations are alike, and it is impossible to provide accurate legal advice without knowing all the facts of a particular situation.

The Log on Social Media “I would think for such a small amount, the diver would be better off filing a small claims suit, think it’s a $30 fee.

By CAPT. PAT RAINS ZIHUATANEJO — Sail and power boaters are invited to participate in Sailfest 2022 Feb. 21-27. The popular cruising destination of Zihuatanejo and Ixtapa will hold its week-long nautical festival of yacht parades, beach games, food, concerts, and tours of rural schools built by the Para Los Niños (For The Children) charity. Visiting boat owners can volunteer in advance to host a few school children or a whole family onboard their boats for the Saturday morning Yacht Parade, a leisurely seven-mile round trip cruise from Zihuatanejo Bay to Punta Ixtapa and back. Although panga fishing supports the town of Zihuatanejo, very few rural families up in the Sierras have ever seen a yacht, and many of the children have never even seen the Pacific Ocean. For this reason, participating boaters have said the Yacht Parade was the most memorable event of their time in Mexico. “My husband and I first began going to Zihuatanejo four years ago,” said Yvonne Thompson of Pender Island, British Columbia. “We were encouraged to volunteer … and I loved every minute of it. Although our role was small, we could see the benefit to the community and especially to the children it serves.” Por Los Niños volunteers will take a limited number of guests on guided tours out to Colonial Miraflores to visit a couple of the rural schools and the library that the charity has built for the children. Boaters can meet some of the students and practice their Spanish and English skills. Donations of books in Spanish and other learning aids are always welcomed. Students will entertain visitors during a Meet and Greet party on Zihuatanejo’s big municipal pier, where there will also be a lavish dinner under the stars. Vis-

STATE/NATIONAL/ INTERNATIONAL San Mateo County Harbor District’s Master Plan is Open for Public Comment SAN MATEO COUNTY— Last month,
the San Mateo County Harbor District conducted its fourth public workshop to review its upcoming Master Plan. This document will guide the agency’s priorities and projects for the foreseeable future. The document serves as an overarching umbrella that assesses the Harbor District’s facilities, assets, current and future risks. A vital element is the plan’s prioritization of the Harbor District’s capital projects, ranking them with various criteria, including cost, facility conditions, funding status, user value, and exposure to rising sea levels.

said the district would start pushing the drafted plan through its social media channels and printed notices at Pillar Point Harbor and Oyster Point Marina to maximize public feedback. Pruett also recommended the deadline to submit feedback be extended at least 30 days from its initial Jan. 4, date, and possibly up to 60 days. The workshop held in mid-December was another step in the months-long process to draft and review the Master Plan. Dudek, an environmental consulting firm, formally started the process with the Harbor. Dudek Principal Matt Valerio said that Johnson Pier expansion and the fuel dock upgrades are rated as the highest prioritized projects for the district. In addition, Tier One projects hold the plans to redo the tenant row restrooms, bolster shoreline rock slope protection, and improve Johnson Pier’s support beams. In addition, the plan also assesses Pillar Point Harbor’s susceptibility and opportunities to deal with coastal hazards. However, some public members said the plan didn’t comprehensively address how specific projects will be
fortified against sea-level rise. The full master plan can be found on the San Mateo County website.
The First Ever 100 Percent Electric Yacht Has Sold UNITED KINGDOM— Pascoe
International, an award-winning U.K. tender yacht manufacturer, has officially sold the first fully electric limousine tender. The Pascoe team has confirmed that the vessel is under construction and will be delivered in 2023 to a sizeable newbuild superyacht from a leading Northern European shipyard. The Pascoe e-Limousine comes after the company’s award-winning Sport Luxury (SL) platform, which uses the brands’ latest oil-cooled electric motors. Pascoe International has partnered with multiple experts in marine horsepower to establish what they say is the “most efficient transfer of power from the motor of the water. The new drive system will also remove the noise and vibration expected from the more traditional sterndrive. In short, the Pascoe e-Limousine promises to be
eco-friendly and comfortable without any compromise to performance capabilities. “The realization of a zero-emission at point of use Limousine Tender with a top speed of 40 knots and a maximum range of 60 miles will be a defining moment for the superyacht industry,” said Tom Southern, Vice President at Pascoe International. “The e-Limousine truly signifies the beginning of a new wave of luxury water-borne travel and a move away from internal combustion propulsion systems in the superyacht sector.” Following its six-year research and development period, Pascoe International has also announced that it will now offer full electric propulsions for its line of limousines and open guest tenders. Those who support Pascoe International will benefit from long-term cost savings, as they will be able to charge their tenders directly from their yacht’s power generators without the need to use fossil fuels. Additionally, the vessels will have the added benefit of reduced vibrations, reduced noise, and an increase in torque.

The USS Midway is looking for volunteers to join their ranks; whether it is story-tellers, safety officers, restoration, or in the library, volunteers are the backbone of the museum. By: JORDAN B. DARLING SAN DIEGO — Museums are often learning tools; throughout the early years of education, kids are loaded up onto yellow buses and driven to tall, imposing buildings full of artifacts, and history which can be difficult concepts to grasp when out of context. Take a museum, keep it in its original context, for example, a carrier floating in San Diego Bay, load it with knowledgeable volunteers and interactive exhibits, and you have a fan favorite that sees between a million and two million guests a year from around the globe. Walking on the USS Midway Museum is stepping back in time to a piece of naval history preserved in its 1992 state. Volunteers are posted throughout the ship with colorful hats identifying them as docents and the safety team who are out in front of guests, and behind the scenes volunteers in the airwing and the restoration department who are working to preserve the ship to continue telling its story. Your tour takes you to different parts of the ship where men and women are posted with brightly colored yellow hats, a smile, and a story you’ve never heard. “Yellow hat means I am a tour guide and a teller of stories,” said Jim Reily, docent program director. “Sea stories are like fish stories; they keep getting bigger and bigger by the end.” The stories are phenomenal but true, the history is tangible, and the volunteers make up most of the team with life stories mixed with a good dose of training. There are currently between 700 to 800 volunteers who come in to give their time to the Midway each month. “The volunteer program is the backbone of the museum,” said Laurie Switzer, director of Volunteer Programs at the USS Midway Museum. “The volunteers make up the majority of our team...Our regular volunteers cover assignments in almost every department of the museum, so behind the scenes and certainly frontline ambassadors.” These volunteers work in ever ything from the docents who guide guests throughout the ship, sharing stories about the aircraft carrier, to the airwing who spend their time restoring aircrafts on the ship and in a restoration facility on North Island in hangar 805. The Midway is a unique museum; preserved in its 1992 state, the ship offers an inside look at the operation of an
aircraft carrier, allowing guests to explore the ship on their own with docents placed along the way and the option of audio tours. The Midway was commissioned on Sept. 10, 1945. The carrier featured an armored flight deck and an air group of 120 planes, making it the first of a new three-ship class. The ship didn’t see service until 1946 when it became the first American carrier to operate in the midwinter sub-Arctic. It served in the Atlantic Fleet for ten years and had its first combat deployment in 1965, flying strikes against Vietnam. In 1975, the Midway served as an evacuation point during Operation Frequent Wind, taking in over 3,000 refugees from the fall of Saigon. The ship was sent to Japan, becoming the first American carrier ported abroad, and in 1990 the Midway deployed to the Persian Gulf, serving as the flagship during Operation Desert Storm. The Midway’s final mission was the evacuation of civilian personnel from Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines after the eruption of Mount Pinatubo. The ship was decommissioned in San Diego in 1992 and was donated to the San Diego Aircraft Carrier Museum organization in 2003, opening up as the USS Midway Museum in 2004. The Midway has volunteers placed in several departments throughout the museum; volunteers are trained in their specific departments, opening up the opportunity for new experiences. “I am speaking specifically for docents; we will be able to educate them so they are as knowledgeable about an aircraft carrier as a sailor who spent 20 years in the Navy,” said Reily. Apart from the training that goes into a volunteer’s position, with anything, the key is to have fun and enjoy what you do. “We want to make sure that they are having fun because if they are, that is almost kind of contagious to guests that come aboard,” said Reily. “…They [volunteers] can expect to have support no matter what their background is.” Departments are extensive and offer opportunities for volunteers in a lot of capacities. In addition, the Midway boasts an extensive curatorial department and research library. They are working to create a master list of every sailor who served the Midway and record the ship’s history. The library utilizes records such as cruise books, muster lists, and public documentation to record a comprehensive history of the ship. Families can also come in and seek records for family members who have served on the Midway but might be lost to time. “This is for people that come in and want to look up a relative,” said Nancy Smith, a library volunteer working on the master crew list. “This is the gentleman we were talking about. He was in the brig, anyway; his son came in and wanted me to look him up. So, we look them up, and if we have them in our crew list, this is the

During the internship, students are paid directly through AFS, which receives funding from private donations and partnerships with federal agencies and a grant from NOAA, allowing them to continue programs like this. According to Webb, alumni have stayed on to volunteer with their mentors from the internship, and many have joined sub-units of AFS at their universities. California hosts student sub-units at Chico State University, in the Santa Cruz-Monterey Bay and the Sacramento-Davis areas. “We also have a pretty good reputation of students staying pretty close in

Governor Newsom announced his 2022-23 state budget proposal on Jan. 10. Also known as “The California Blueprint,” the proposed budget will allot $2.3 billion to California ports; a possible big win for the ports and the Port of L.A. has a plan for its portion. By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS LOS ANGELES —Following Gov. Newsom’s
announcement for his budget proposal on Jan. 10, the Port of Los Angeles has prepared a plan to disperse its portion of the budget throughout different sectors of the port. The recommended budget includes a planned record investment of $2.3 billion for California ports. “These funds, together with our own dollars, private investment and new federal port investment in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, will prove to be a powerful combination that accelerates delivery of critically needed projects like a first-of-its-kind goods movement workforce training campus, cargo support facilities, digitalization enhancements, and zero-emission equipment and charging infrastructure,” said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka in a press release from Jan 10. “This suite of investments positions California’s system of ports to be leaders in operational efficiency, sustainability, and job creation.” According to the Port of L.A.’s Director of Media Relations, Phillip Sanfield, the proposal is the first step in the budget process, which ultimately needs to be approved by the state legislature. “I believe that process takes several months,” said Sanfield in an email from Jan. 11. “So, elements of his budget may change…no money has been given to California ports. But we, like other California ports, are always working on long-term infrastructure projects. We’ll be applying for grants for projects like marine terminal enhancements, rail infrastructure, roadway-rail grade separations, digital infrastructure, and highway safety projects near the port.” The funding does not come with specific conditions. “All ports will need to apply for funding,” said Sanfield. “We will need to articulate how the proposed projects meet the criteria that the state will set for funding.” The Governor’s $2.3 billion plan for the ports includes: • A port infrastructure and good movement of $1.2 billion for port related projects that will increase goods movement capacity on rail and roadways serving ports and at port terminals, including railyard expansions, new bridges, and zero-emission modernization projects. • $875 million will go toward ze-
ro-emission equipment and infrastructures including short-haul (drayage) trucks. • $110 million will be a l lot t ed for workforce training. This will include a training campus to support workforce resilience in the face of the supply chain disruption and will accelerate the deployment of zero-emission equipment and technologies. • $40 million will go towards enhancing California’s capacity The Port of L.A. is filled with busy container terminals; this truck and transtainer are resting on a to issue Commercial container terminal. Driver’s Licenses. • $30 million will be for the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development to provide funding for operational and process improvements at the ports. This could include enhancing the movement of goods and improving data interconnectivity between the ports to enable efficient cargo movement, reduce congestion, and create opportunities to increase cargo volume by promoting and building supply chain efficiency. “With respect to zero emissions, we are currently partnering on zero emission truck demonstration projects with a range of manufacturers including Toyota, Volvo, Daimler, Hyundai, Kenworth, BYD and Nikola Motors,” said Sanfield in the email. “We are currently involved in testing in more than 100 zero emission trucks and expect more demonstration trucks this year. State funding would enhance/support these projects.” According to the Port of L.A., their port is North America’s leading seaport by container volume and cargo value and facilitated $259 billion in trade during 2020. San Pedro Bay port complex operations and commerce facilitate one in nine jobs across the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura. The Port of Los Angeles has remained open with all terminals operational throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. “Our supply chain challenges require both near-term and long-term solutions,” said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka in the press release. “I applaud Gov. Newsom for meeting the moment with bold leadership. The Governor’s budget allocates $2.3 billion for ports to address bottlenecks in our supply chain, advance our efforts to decarbonize the freight system, and ensure a robust and resilient workforce continues to move goods on behalf of the state and nation.” For more information, please contact Phillip Sanfeild at psanfield@portla.org, or Rachel Campbell at rcampbell@portla.org.

It was there, watching the fishermen come and go, where his love for the ocean began. Spending summers in high school as a deckhand for the San Clemente fleet prepared him for the captain he would become. A Korean War veteran, he joined the U.S. Coast Guard at the age of 18, just before the start of the war. Don earned his U.S. Coast Guard license in 1953 when he was just 19. Of his four years in service, two were spent stationed in Guam. Don cherished his time in the Coast Guard and loved to attend Memorial Day Services every year in both San Clemente and Dana Point. Upon his return from service, Don worked for San Clemente Sportfishing, eventually buying the business. Realizing an opportunity to use his fleet to also share the beauty of whales and dolphins, Don along with his friend Phillip Grignon (a San Clemente High School teacher) began using the boats to take local students to witness the majesty of whales at sea. Thus, whale watching in Orange County was born. In 1971 when the Dana Point Harbor first opened, Don, renamed his business and moved it to the harbor. Dana Wharf Sportfishing & Whale Watching soon earned its reputation as an international magnet for marine recreation, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2021. Don was so proud to work with his daughter Donna and son Mike in the family business and cherished what they and their employees (some of whom have been with Dana Wharf for more than 30 years) built together. The company has grown to include sportfishing and whale watching in both Dana Point and Oceanside Harbor. Under Don’s leadership, the Hansen team has continually been active throughout the community. Charitable
works, volunteerism, and helping the community were all pillars of his identity. His ethics and integrity afforded him a seat at the tables of many community and governmental organizations including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), as well as state, county, and city arenas. His voice conveyed sincerity and resolve to do what was right and reasonable. Don served as Vice President of the Sportfishing Association of California (SAC), Chairman of the Pacific Fisheries Management Council, Chairman of the Marine Fisheries Advisory Committee, and on the boards of many other organizations including his local hospital. The word “served” doesn’t do justice to the decades he spent in each position and the effort he put forth toward the betterment of family, fleet, and community. Don received many awards and words of recognition for his work over the years–too many to list–but a few recent highlights include receiving the Coastal Conservation Association of California’s (CCA CAL) highest honor, the 2021 Anthony Hsieh Conservation
Award in recognition of decades of tireless work and dedication to improving California sportfishing and making angling accessible to everyone. The originator of whale watching in Orange County and a founder of the Dana Point Festival of Whales, Don was delighted to have celebrated the Festival’s 50th anniversary in 2021. This year’s 51st annual event will be dedicated to his honor. Don loved his fleet and spent his life defending and promoting public access to sportfishing and championing the awareness of the awe-inspiring whales and dolphin his fleet and passengers witnessed daily off the coast of Dana Point. His leadership never slowed, his humor never dulled, and his caring never stopped. Don’s family, and friends too numerous to list, are deeply saddened by his loss but take comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering or in pain. They were blessed to have spent a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas with Don who was very happy and at peace. Heaven has another angel. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, please make donations to one of Don’s favorite charities: Fish for Life https://www.fishforlife. org/donate-to-our-cause/ Captain Rollo’s Kids at Sea http:// www.captainrollos.org/donate-2/ Coastal Conservation Association https://ccacalifornia.org/donate/ Gray Whale Foundation https:// graywhalefoundation.org/donate/ A celebration of Don’s life will be held at 11 a.m. on January 29 at the Ocean Institute in Dana Point, California.

Whale Calf Sighting in Dana Point By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS
DANA POINT— Whale watchers were
in for a fun surprise when the Capt. Dave’s Dolphin & Whale Watching Safari caught sight of a gray whale calf and its mother for the first time this
season. The pair was sighted just off the Headlands as they made their way south to Baja California, according to an article from MSN.com. The calf popped its head out of the ocean to expose its heart-shaped blow, a significant feature on gray whales, according to Giselle Anderson of Capt.
Dave’s Dolphin & Whale Watching Safari. Although most pregnant gray whales give birth in warm and safe lagoons in Baja, it is possible that some calves don’t want to wait until that point in the journey, and enter the migration route early, according to the whale watching group.

CARB Addresses Public Comments and Concerns
By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS CALIFORNIA— On Jan. 12, the California A i r R e s ou r c e s B oa r d ho s t e d t he Commercial Harbor Craft Regulation Remote Public Webinar to discuss the next steps on the proposed amendments to the planned changes to engine regulations for commercial vessels. The webinar highlighted incentive funding opportunities, discussed the approach for responding to direction provided by the board at the November hearing, considered options for implementation and outreach for the program in the coming years, and discussed plans for returning to the board for a Spring 2022 hearing where CARB will consider approving the proposal. In late 2021, CARB announced its proposed regulations for commercial vessel engines, which could impact sportfishing and whale watching boats. The new regulations have the intention to improve air quality, but boat owners have had trouble getting on board with the proposals. By early 2023, CARB aims to have Tier-4 engines become a requirement for all commercial vessels, an engine that has only been tested on farm equipment and never on boats. The Tier-4 engine is susceptible to overheating and then combusting, an event that has limited solutions when out on the water. In addition, most boats are constructed of wood and fiberglass, highly flammable materials, and the new engine would require boat owners to reconstruct their vessels entirely out of steel. The Tier-4 engine is also much larger and won’t fit into most boats without some form of reconstruction, an expensive cosmetic procedure for boat owners. The meeting began with background information on the topic, then continued to discuss funding options for harbor crafts, streamlining compliance extensions, reviewed technology, and implementation, discussed zero-emission contingency measures, and finally, CARB’s next steps in the process. Attainable funding was a major dis-
cussion amongst participants. According to CARB, funding program options for commercial harbor craft vessels include: • Low Carbon Transportation (LCT)this program provides mobile source incentives to reduce greenhouse gas, criteria pollutant, and toxic air contaminant emissions through the deployment of advanced technology and clean transportation. For more information or questions about LCT, please contact Earl Landberg at Earl. Landberg@arb.ca.gov. • Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project (CORE)- this program is designed to accelerate the deployment of cleaner off-road technologies by providing a streamlined way for fleets ready to purchase specific zero-emission equipment to receive funding to offset the higher cost of such technologies. This project corresponds to the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project. Still, it will specifically target zero-emission off-road freight equipment that is currently in the early stages of commercial development. For more information or questions about CORE, please contact Todd Sterling at Todd.Sterling@arb.ca.gov or Matthew Diener at Matthew.Diener@arb.ca.gov • Carl Moyer- this program provides grant funding for cleaner-than-required engines, equipment, and other sources of air pollution. The Carl Moyer Program is implemented as a partnership between CARB and California’s 35 local air districts. For more information or questions about the Carl Moyer Program, please contact Aaron Hilliard at Aaron.Hillard@arb.ca.gov or Anthony Poggi at Anthony.Poggi@arb.ca.gov. • Additional funding opportunities, according to CARB, is the Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust which provides about $423 million for California to mitigate the excess nitrogen oxide emissions caused by VW’s use of illegal emissions testing defeat devices in certain VW diesel vehicles. • EPA DERA- The Diesel Emissions Reduction Act is a program that funds grants and rebates that protect human health and improve air quality by reducing harmful emissions from diesel engines. • LCTOP- Low Carbon Transit Operations Program- this program was created to provide operating and capital assistance for transit agencies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve mobility, prioritizing saving disadvantaged communities. • TIRCP- Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program will provide grants from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to fund transformative capital improvements that will modernize California’s intercity, commuter, and urban rail systems, and bus and ferry transit systems, to significantly reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, vehicle miles traveled, and
congestion. • Prop 1B- The Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program is a $1 billion partnership between CARB and local agencies, air districts, and seaports to quickly reduce air pollution emissions and health risks from freight movement along California’s trade corridors.
harbor crafts to compete with other transportation sectors for those limited funds. • For the first time, the Coast Guard has submitted written comments on the proposed regulations; however, the letter is not publicly available like other comment letters. Many participants were under the impression that the Coast Guard had not been involved or informed on the matter. “We have met with the Coast Guard numerous times. The Coast Guard doesn’t always provide input on regulations directly, but they are always
Following the breakdown of funding options there was roughly an hour of answering questions that pertained only to funding and public comment. CARB carried on by discussing its plan for the next step. “ St a f f w i l l c o n t i nu e o u t reach with operators, the rev iew of public comments submitted, and consider feedback received today. and will return to the Board for a final vote and consideration in Spring 2022, “said Melissa Houchin, Air Dana Wharf Sportfishing and Whale Watching is one of the Resources Engi- many charter companies in California at risk of losing their busineer for CARB. ness due to the proposed regulations. “The anticipated effective date of the proposal is Jan. 1, 2023.” For more information or questions, please contact Melissa Houchin at Melissa.Houchin@arb.ca.gov or Dav id Quiros at Dav id. Quiors@arb.ca.gov. You can also visit the CARB Commercial Harbor Craft Website. Following the discussion of the next steps, more general questioning took place until 7 p.m.
On Sept. 21, 2021, CARB staff released its proposed amendments to the CHC regulations, a drastic change to current operations within the commercial passenger vessel community.
Significant takeaways for the meeting: • CARB acknowledged data errors relevant to funding, technology, and expectations of CHC owners but did not acknowledge the need to update data showing commercial passengers’ boat’s actual contribution to emissions. • Staff speakers on behalf of CARB confused the issue with the availability of Tier 4 engines for sportfishing vessels when answering the questions of concerned webinar participants. No Tier 4 engines have been approved for commercial passenger vessels yet. • Webinar participants expressed extreme concern regarding the Carl Moyer Program and its high demand for funding that it is not possible to fund all vessels facing these cosmetic changes. In addition, local air quality districts control the Carl Moyer Program, and limited funding forces

The Coast Guard does inspect the vessels; they are involved in certain cases in reviewing designs of vessels.” The petition “Don’t Sink Sportfishing,” created in retaliation to the proposed regulations has nearly 22,000 signatures and was presented to Gov. Newsom. In addition, 3,200 public comments were submitted during the webinar and nearly all stated concerns with the proposed regulations. CARB will return to the Board for the final vote and consideration in Spring 2022; no specific date has been set yet, before the anticipated implementation of the regulation on Jan. 1, 2023.

Port of Long Beach announced its acquisition of a $52.3 million grant for its rail project. The grant comes from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration (MARAD) to help fund the development of the “Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility.” This project will enable the nation’s second-largest seaport to move 35 percent more cargo by train which is projected to improve efficiency and lessen environmental impacts. “The Port of Long Beach’s Pier B OnDock Rail Support Facility qualified for the federal funding through the U.S. Maritime Administration Port Infrastructure Development Program,” said Lee Peterson, Media Relations Manager for the Port. “The funding from the program is specifically designed for capital improvement projects at U.S. seaports.” The three-segment project will “add a 10,000-foot support track within a critical freight corridor, construct a new support facility for 24 locomotives, add three new yard tracks, and extend five existing tracks to increase operational efficiency for port cargo and enhance safety for rail workers,” according to the Department of Transportation’s announcement (DOT). Construction of the first phase of the Pier B Facility is scheduled to begin in 2023. “This is great news to hear at the end of what will be our busiest year ever,” said the port’s Executive Director Mario Cordero in a Dec. 22 statement. “It will help to move cargo more efficiently through the port, getting needed products and goods to homes and businesses across America faster.” The $52.3 million grant for the Port of Long Beach was allotted from an over $241 grant fund that will ultimately be dispersed amongst 25 projects to “improve port facilities in 19 states and one territory through the Maritime Administration’s (MARAD) Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP),” according to the press release from the DOT. According to the White House, these grants are meant to demonstrate rapid action on commitments in the Biden-Harris Port Action Plan, which is intended to supply chains to meet demand resulting from the rapid economic recovery over that past year.
On-dock rail near pier T. The Port of Long beach is working to modernize the on-dock rail support infrastructure to see more sustainable benefits of shipping goods via rail as opposed to truck. The first three projects include: • East Expansion: Completion in May 2025; it will cost a total of $52 million. • West Expansion & Pier B Street Realignment: Completion May 2025; it will cost a total of $94 million.
• Locomotive Facility: Completion Jan 2025; it will cost a total of $34 million. The scheduled project is the nucleus of the Port of Long Beach’s approximately $1 billion rail capital improvement pro-
gram. Moving cargo by on-dock rail and directly transferring containers to and from marine terminals by train is cleaner, more efficient, and will reduce truck traffic. As a result, no cargo trucks will visit the facility, instead, smaller train segments will be brought to the facility and joined into a full-sized train. MARAD’s Port Infrastructure Development Program is providing the grant. The funding from the program is designed explicitly for capital improvement projects at U.S. seaports. Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility construction is scheduled to begin in 2023 and finished by 2032. The preparatory construction estimate for the locomotive facility is $15.7 million, while Pier B’s rail yard west and east expansion will cost $44.6 million and $24.5 million. The first arrival, departure, and storage tracks are expected to be completed in 2025, with additional tracks coming online in 2030, followed by project completion in 2032. The port also received a $10 million grant from the L.A. County Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the project under Measure R, I-710 Early Action Fund Program and $16.3 million in federal transportation bill funding managed by Metro and Caltrans. You can view the project fact sheet and more information on the project page. With 175 shipping lines connecting Long Beach to 217 seaports, the port handles $200 billion in trade annually, supporting more than 575,000 Southern California jobs. According to the press release, the Port of Long Beach is one of the world’s busiest seaports, a gateway for trans-Pacific trade, and a trailblazer in goods movement and environmental stewardship.

ous owners) to sail to Florida. The first leg of the journey took three weeks. “When we arrived in Florida, we learned the cargo carrier was behind schedule. After three weeks of waiting, the carrier became available to transit the vessel through the Panama Canal then to Ensenada arriving on Christmas Eve. We left for our new home port, but had weather problems to wait out. Finally, two weeks later sailed to Channel Islands Harbor where we docked on Sunday, January 9,” said Captain Christine Healey. Healy will continue to be the ship’s captain and will play a major role in the youth programs as well as public tours. “I know the Mystic Whaler well as I have worked with the previous owners who ran an educational program on her as well. It feels like home to be onboard her. I am looking forward to getting started with the Ocean Adventures” program.” The schooner is temporarily docked at the Channel Islands Maritime Museum, where the two tall masts are easy to spot from Harbor Blvd. “With temporary use permits in place, the vessel may stay in its current location until June 30,” said Nahm. “Once the programs have been developed and the requirements for ease of access, parking, etc., have been determined, we will work with harbor staff to find the best location for the vessel. In the meantime, the ship will continue its regular USCG inspections and certifications to be completed by this Spring before any programs begin.” According to the official website about the ship, the Mystic Whaler was built in 1967 and rebuilt in 1993, having been modeled after the coastal trading schooners of the 1800s. The Mystic Whaler is not a replica of a whaling ship but is named and painted in homage to the whaling ships of Mystic, CT, the schooner’s original homeport. The vessel has 3,000 square feet of sail and a diesel engine. Below deck are spacious quarters including six bathrooms and hot showers. The ship is US Coast Guard certified for 50 passengers plus ten crew.

CHANNEL ISLANDS —On Jan. 9 the tall ship Mystic Whaler arrived in Channel Islands Harbor from New London, Connecticut. Soon to be renamed Mystic Cruzar, the ship will serve as an ocean-oriented classroom for central coast youth as well as provide tours to the public. Montecito couple, Roger and Sarah Chrisman acquired the Mystic Whaler October 2021. The vessel is a 83-foot long, 110-foot tall steel-hulled schooner that has been berthed in Mystic Seaport for the past 54 years. Once Chrisman’s non-profit “Central Coast Ocean Adventures” is created, educational programs will be offered to local youth as well as public tours in both Channel Islands Harbor and at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum in Santa Barbara Harbor. “We are pleased the Chrismans chose our harbor,” said Michael Tripp Ventura County Harbor department director. “The tall ship creates a new visitor-serving opportunity for Channel Islands Harbor, area residents, and the public.” Their goal is to launch the program as early as late spring or summer. Tripp added that yacht brokers, Bob Nahm of Seacoast Channel Islands and Vicki Van Hook of Seacoast Santa Barbara, worked closely with the Chrismans to acquire the tall ship and bring it to the harbor. The couple have been long time-clients of the Sea Coast brokers. “As a former lessee of the Harbor and current President of the Channel Islands Harbor Foundation, I had the connections to be able to secure Channel Islands Harbor as the new permanent homeport,” said Nahm. Nahm took the lead in managing the

completion of the purchase for the Chrismans to bring the schooner to Oxnard “This isn’t the first time the Chrismans have created a tall ship program,” said Nahm. “This philanthropic couple have been very involved in other programs like The Spirit of Dana Point program in Santa Barbara and they wanted to add a tall ship to continue their educational offering in both harbors.” Roger Chrisman first came across

Eventually the engine was repaired, the deal was made and in mid-October when Chrismans brought on board Captain Christine Healey to transit the ship from Mystic Sea Port to Florida.

DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING – MORE THAN A DISTRESS BUTTON
BY MARK CORKE
DSC is one of the best deals in town. Setting up your VHF radio with digital selective calling is so simple, and it could save your life If you’ve bought a VHF radio in the last few years, chances are it has a red distress button on the front. Lift the flap, press and hold the button for five seconds, and details of your vessel, your position, and the fact that you require urgent and immediate assistance are broadcast to the U.S. Coast Guard and anyone else with a DSC-equipped radio within range. The beauty of the system is that it should summon assistance even if you’re unable to speak. When you consider that a DSCequipped VHF can be had for about $150 and is arguably the single most important piece of safety equipment that you can have aboard, it sounds like a bargain. However, according to recently published U.S. Coast Guard figures, almost 90 percent of DSC-capable radios aren’t programmed, making that little red distress button completely useless. Here’s what you need to do to fix that.
Techno Two-Step Two things need to happen for a DSCVHF radio to work properly. First, it has to be connected to a GPS; second, the radio needs to be programmed with an MMSI number. MMSI stands for Maritime Mobile Service Identity and refers to the unique number assigned to a particular boat. Connecting your VHF to your chartplotter provides your coordinates to the radio so they can be transmitted in an emergency. With no GPS hooked up, the position of the boat must be triangulat-
Although digital selective calling’s greatest asset is its ability to summon help in the event of an emergency, a DSC radio, once programmed with a Maritime Mobile Service Identity number, can call other DSC-equipped boats by entering the MMSI of the vessels you wish to call. Frequently called numbers can usually be stored in the VHF’s memory, much like using speed dial on a phone, making calling a fishing buddy as easy as pushing a button. – M.C.
ed from the transmission by multiple shore stations, reducing accuracy. Connecting the VHF to a GPS – such as a chartplotter – isn’t difficult, but you must follow the instructions that came with your VHF and GPS to ensure compatibility. This is where many boaters become frustrated. In reality, it’s often a matter of just connecting a couple of small wires. However, if you’re shopping for a new VHF, manufacturers now offer VHF sets with GPS built in, eliminating the need to connect a GPS. Once the connections have been made, the next step is to program the MMSI number into the VHF. An MMSI is a nine-digit number unique to the VESSEL, not to the radio. If there’s more than one radio aboard, they must all be programmed with the same MMSI number. Obtaining an MMSI number is easy
how this is accomplished vary by make. Follow the instructions that came with the VHF to the letter. In many cases, if a number is entered incorrectly, it can’t be changed without returning the VHF to the manufacturer. Check and double check that the number you entered on the VHF display is identical to your assigned MMSI before pressing the confirm button. That’s it – job done! Your VHF has just become a powerful tool to summon help in an emergency.
and can be done online. BoatU.S members can get a number for domestic use, free of charge, by going to www.BoatUS. com/MMSI and answering a few simple questions. If your plans include travels to foreign ports (including Mexico, the Bahamas, and, yes, Canada), you’ll need to get a Ship Station license and MMSI from the FCC (https://transition.fcc.gov/ Forms/Form605/605.html). Entering the number into the VHF is straightforward, although the specifics of

Weather Service said the tsunami was supposed to hit Monterey around 7:30 a.m. and San Francisco around 8:10 a.m. Southern California beaches were expected to be hit around 7:50 a.m. Officials announced that some coastal areas could expect one to two feet of waves. The Orange County Sheriff’s department amended its news release hours after the advisory was sent out. “The Tsunami Advisory has been lifted for Orange County,” said the amended news release. “Beaches, harbors, and piers have reopened. Although no significant coastal flooding occurred, strong currents and waves are highly likely to be dangerous to persons in or near the water. These strong currents may be hazardous to swimmers, boaters, and coastal structures and may continue for several hours. Residents are encouraged to exercise caution when in the water. Thank you to the community for your patience during this event.”

HUNTINGTON BEACH— The
Huntington Beach Pier as we know it today had a long journey to get to where it is now. The pier was built in 1902, before the incorporation of Huntington Beach in 1909. The Huntington Beach Company (a company that changes oil fields into modern residential communities) originally built the pier out of wood at the end of Main Street in 1904, which stretched 1,000 feet out into the Pacific Ocean. According to the Surf City USA website, a winter storm in 1912 took out a large chunk of the pier, and it was washed away in the ocean. In 1914 the pier was rebuilt using concrete, and an
additional 350 feet were added, making the pier 1350 feet. long. In 1930 another extension was made to the pier to add on a restaurant called The End Café. After an earthquake in 1933 disconnected the new end of the pier, it brought the structure back to its original length. In 1939 the café, along with the entire end of the pier, was wrecked by a rare hurricane, and once again, a section of the pier was captured by the Pacific Ocean. The pier was quickly repaired by 1940, where the pier lasted for four decades while serving as a submarine lookout post for the U.S. Navy during World War II. In 1983, yet again, the End Café crumbled into the ocean during a Spring storm but was rebuilt within the

In 1988, storms would damage the pier for the final time, sending a large portion of the pier into the ocean. In 1992, nearly $200,000 was raised to reconstruct the entire pier to be 13 feet higher and 20 feet longer than before. Today the Huntington Beach Pier is a classic Orange County landmark, drawing locals and visitors to its loca-
tion every day. The pier has remained unscathed for over two decades now; with 1,850 feet to walk out over the ocean, it’s the fifth-longest pier in California. Today the pier offers simple pleasures such as fishing or dining at Ruby’s. It is the most photographed location in Huntington Beach, with sunset views that never grow old, even for its regulars.

NEW YORK— In a Jan. 7 press release the New York Yacht Club and the American yacht racing team, American Magic, announced their intent to enter the 37th America’s Cup (AC37) advancing the count to four teams to date. American Magic represented the New York YC in the 36th America’s Cup making it an unexpected twist that they will return for the race. “New York YC was represented by American Magic in the 36th America’s Cup in early 2021 in New Zealand,” said an article by Yachting World. “Their AC75 Patriot was widely tipped to be among the fastest until a devastating capsize and crash landing caused severe damage to the yacht and a near sinking.” Although the team’s foiling AC75 could be repaired in time to return to racing, the fast turnaround never allowed them to get back up to speed. As a result, the boat continued to suffer knock-out ef-
fects from the damage, and the American challengers were first to be eliminated. In June, the NYYC announced that it would return for the 37th America’s Cup but instead would be represented by the Stars & Stripes team (a rival American challenger that failed to get off the ground for AC36). Then in October, the club announced that it was “pausing our pursuit of the 37th America’s Cup” and would not compete. The NYYC is closely associated with the America’s Cup. The club held the event from 1857 until they were eventually defeated in 1983 by the Royal Perth Yacht Club’s Australia II. The NYYC and American Magic announcement has been universally welcomed. Skipper Terry Hutchinson in particular impressed fans with the leadership and sportsmanship shown by the American Magic team, after the crash in the last America’s Cup, when his boat capsized and sprung a hole in the hull during a race. No crew positions have been an-

However, British Olympic Gold Medalist and American Magic wing trimmer Paul Goodison has been tipped to lead by some Cup observers. This latest announcement comes after a prior statement by Ernesto Bertarelli, a sailing enthusiast that set up the organization, Alinghi, he and his Alinghi sailing team plan to enter the event after an 11year absence from America’s Cup racing. “Together with the Defender, Emirates Team New Zealand, and Challenger of Record, Britain’s INEOS Britannia, this means at least four teams have declared their intention to enter the next America’s Cup,” said the Yachting World article. It remains to be known how many other teams are supposed to take part in
The Anatomy SAILING 101 of the Sailboat Ahoy sailors, welcome to the first article in a new series set on giving you a complete guide to the world of sailing. The Log will be compiling sailing information from experts so you will be well-versed in sailing in no time. By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS
SOUTHERN CALIF. — There are many ways to learn to sail. You can jump in the boat with a friend and learn from experience, you can sign up for formal lessons, or if you can get your hands on a boat, you can try and teach yourself. No matter which method you prefer, it’s necessary to understand the boat and what it can do out on the water before you dive into your education.
The Basics of a Sailboat Before setting sail, there is much you need to know. Gaining a basic knowledge of the boat’s anatomy will help the new
sailor familiarize themselves with where and how the boat operates. Knowing the different parts of the sailboat is important for both safety and being able to sail your boat as flawlessly as possible. Block: This is the nautical term for a pulley. Boom: The horizontal support for the foot of the mainsail extends aft of the mast. Aft is the rear of the ship, at the direction of the ship’s stern. This is what you want to watch out for when changing directions in a sailboat. It can give you quite a bump on the head if it hits you. Bow: This is what the front of the boat is called. Centerboard: This is a (usually fiberglass) plate that pivots from the bottom of the keel (a flat blade sticking down into the water from the bottom of the sailboat) in some boats and balances the vessel when under sail. Cleat: Cleats are what lines (or ropes) get fastened to when they need to be kept tight. Halyard: Lines that raise or lower the sails. (Along with the sheets, aka running rigging.) Hull: The hull is the boat’s body and consists of everything below the deck. Jib: This is the sail at the bow of Please see SAILING 101, PAGE 23
addition to these four. But there are several rumors that 2021 runner-up, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, may well return to the America’s Cup arena, possibly alongside Ferrari as a technical partner. Should that be applicable, it would make three of the five teams partnered with Formula 1 teams. In addition, INEOS Britannia has reinforced its existing relationship with AMG Mercedes Petronas, and a new relationship has also been announced between Alinghi and Red Bull F1 Racing. The disclosure of the venue is proposed for March 31, 2022, with several possible venues up for discussion, including Auckland, New Zealand; Cork, Ireland; several Spain cities; and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

updated rankings for Fleet Racing on Jan. 11. The ranking is based on the performances of skippers in World Sailing ‘Graded’ events over the past 12 months. In November, the World Sailing Rankings Sub-Committee met to review the calculation method of the rankings and decide which grade events will be included in the rankings for the coming year. Competitors count their best six results over the previous 12 months. The time period is calculated on a rolling basis from the date the rankings are published. Events are graded and fall under 200 points, 100 points, or 50 points, with competitors receiving points based on their regatta placing; first place receiving 200, 100, or 50 points depending on the grade.

the boat. The jib helps propel the boat forward. Genoa: A foresail that is larger than a jib. Keel: The keel is what prevents a boat from sliding sideways (“making leeway”) in whatever way the wind is blowing and stabilizes the boat. Line: Lines are ropes. They are everywhere on boats. There is only one “rope” on a sailboat, the bolt rope that runs along the mainsail’s foot. Mainsail: It’s all in the name; this is the boat’s mainsail. It is the sail attached to the back of the mast. Mast: The mast is a large, vertical pole that holds the sails up. Some boats have more than one mast. Painter: This is a line positioned at the front of small boats. It is used to tie the boat to a dock or another boat. Rudder: The rudder is how the boat is steered. It is movable so that when you turn the wheel or tiller, the rudder directs the boat in the direction you would like

to go. Sheets: The lines that control the sails, (also known as running rigging.) Spinnaker: The usually brightly colored sail used when sailing downwind or across the wind. Stays and Shrouds: Some wires ensure the mast stays upright, even in hefty winds, (also known as standing rigging.) Stern: The back of the boat. Tiller: The tiller is a stick attached to the rudder and controls the rudder. Transom: This can also be called the butt of the boat. It is the back part of the boat perpendicular to its centerline. Wheel: The wheel works the rudder, steering the boat. Winch: Winches help tighten the sheets and halyards. When these lines are wrapped around a winch (in a clockwise direction), a sailor can turn the winch with a winch handle, providing mechanical advantage, which makes it easier to bring in the lines. Study these terms and distinguish where they are located on the boat. Retain that knowledge while the Log prepares for the next lesson in Sailing 101.

Low Number of Baby Salmon Are Surviving Their Journey from River to Sea By: KATHERINE M CLEMENTS
bers of baby salmon are surviving their journey down the Sacramento River to the sea. This realization is an unfortunate confirmation for conservationists’ fears that low flows and high river temperatures during the drought would eliminate a large portion of the endangered winter-run salmon that were born last year. According to Peter Tira from the CDFW, the rivers where the salmon travel can reach 125 degrees, making it unfortunately difficult for these salmon to survive their travels. A total of 2.6 percent of the eggs the winter-run Chinook salmon laid in the Sacramento River resulted in fry (recently hatched fish who reach the stage where its yolk-sac has almost disappeared) or inch-long baby salmon, and the rest did not survive, according to a report from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. According to Peter Moyle, a UC Davis Fisheries Scientist, the water that is produced by mountain ranges, that would typically create run-off for the rivers, is being collected and stored in reservoirs and basically taken from the fish. Moyle believes the solution to helping the salmon survive their entire journey is to begin giving that water back to the rivers. In April of 2021, California removed the salmons from the reservoirs.

With minor snowmelt feeding into the rivers, the water was

tion (NOAA), and are one of nine species that made the NOAA Fisheries Species in the Spotlight, meaning it is considered to be among the most at risk of extinction in the near future.

Check this striped marlin out with a great color it is looking fresh today for some good sushi and more,” said a Jan. 5 post from Titos Sportfishing. “Thanks to both amigos for fishing with our captain, who is always working hard for new clients [and] long-term friends. If you’re in Cabo and looking to do some fishing book your trip with us and make us part of your trip in Cabo one of a lifetime. Book at https://titosportfishing.com/.”

CALIFORNIA—The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) announced several changes to recreational rockfish sub-bag limits, which took effect on Jan. 6. The regulations’ importance was considered and adopted by the California Fish and Game Commission in mid-December to align with federal regulations for these species. Although the rockfish population remains very healthy and robust overall, some subpopulations were re-evaluated recently, and the data showed a decline in certain species. “New stock assessments conducted in 2021 for quillback and copper rockfish suggest severe population declines for these two species,” said CDFW Environmental Program Manager Marci Yaremko in a press release from Jan. 4. Yaremko also noted the unsustainably high catches of vermilion rockfish that have occurred each year since 2015. For those reasons, new federal regulations were implemented to reduce sport bag limits for these three species in 2022. “Groundfish, including species like copper and quillback rockfish, are managed through the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC). The PFMC’s Scientific and Statistical Committee recently reviewed and approved the use of new stock assessments for Copper and Quillback rockfish,” said information provided by Perter Tira of CDFW on behalf on the CDFW’s marine biologists. “The pessimistic results from these stock assessments were the driver for reductions in the sub-bag limit for Copper and Quillback Rockfish. Unsustainably high catches of vermilion rockfish have occurred each year since 2015, and a review of catch data from 2021 showed the 5-fish bag limit was not reducing catches enough. The data and justification for the decision to reduce the sub-bag limit for these species can be found in a PFMC briefing book for November, Agenda Item E.7.a. CDFW Report 2.” The changes to the sub-bag limits within the 10-fish daily Rockfish, Cabezon, Greenling (RCG) complex bag, and possession limit include: A decrease to the statewide sub-bag limit for vermilion rockfish from five fish to four fish. A new statew ide sub -bag limit for quillback rockfish of one fish. A new statewide sub-bag limit for copper rockfish of one fish. The RCG complex has a daily 10fish bag and possession aggregate limit, meaning that each angler’s catch can be made up of any combination of rockfish, cabezon, or greenling, if the total catch remains at or below ten fish. Sub-bag limits within the RCG bag limit are exercised

ery season dates and depth limits are expected to be the same as in 2021 and are as follows: In the Northern Management Area (the Oregon/California state line to near Cape Mendocino) and the Mendocino Management Area (near Cape Mendocino to Point Arena) from May 1 through Oct. 31, take is prohibited seaward of the 180 feet Rockfish Conservation Area (RCA) boundary line. From Nov. 1 through Dec. 31, groundfish may be taken at any depth in these two areas. In the San Francisco Management Area (Point Arena to Pigeon Point) and the Central Management Area (Pigeon Point to Point Conception) from Apr. 1 through Dec. 31, take is prohibited seaward of the 300 feet RCA boundary line. In the Southern Management Area (Point Conception to the U.S./Mexico border) from March 1 through Dec. 31, take is prohibited seaward of the 600 feet RCA boundary line. In all Groundfish Management Areas, the RCA boundary line for the established depth constraint is the series of connected waypoints defined in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 50, Part 660, Subpart C. For more information on the new 2022 recreational rockfish sub-bag limits and to stay informed of in-season changes, please call the Recreational Groundfish Hotline at (831) 649-2801 or visit CDFW’s summary of recreational groundfish fishing regulations for 2022.

BLUEFIN TUNA AND YELLOWTAIL ARE INCLUDED IN THE JANUARY FISHING PICTURE! By Bob Vanian of 976Bite.com
SAN DIEGO— The first two-plus weeks of January have provided some pleasant fishing conditions for Southern California saltwater anglers and some boats have been getting out on the water to take advantage of the good weather do some fishing. The great news is the first two weeks of January have confirmed that bluefin tuna are continuing to winter in our local offshore waters. There were three sport-boats that I know of out fishing for bluefin on 1.5-day trips last weekend and they combined to catch eight bluefin tuna and 34 bonito.
Most of the bluefin catches made during the month of January have been made up of fish in the 30 to 80-pound range. With the offshore water temperature holding in the 59.5 to 60.5-degree range, we might well see bluefin in local offshore waters the year round if we continue to have such mild winter weather.

The past weekend also saw some sport-boats head down the Mexican coast for 1.5 and 2.5-day trips to the Punta Colnett region to target yellowtail, reds, lingcod, and an assortment of bottom fish species. What they found was excellent fishing for a mixed bag of reds, assorted rockfish, whitefish, sheephead, lingcod, and yellowtail.
Tribute out of Seaforth Sportfishing was out on a 2.5-day trip and they had 29 anglers catch 68 yellowtail, 22 lingcod, 179 reds, 84 rockfish, 51 whitefish and 25 sheephead.
H&M Landing had Relentless fishing a 1.5 day trip that saw 20 anglers catch 125 rockfish, 35 whitefish, 31 lingcod, and 14 yellowtail.
The Punta Colnett region yellowtail included a good percentage of fish running about 14 pounds. The wintertime yellowtail activity in the Punta Colnett region tends to come from locating meter marks or sonar marks and then fishing with yo-yo iron or with live baits that are dropped down to the meter marks using a dropper loop rig. Seaforth Sportfishing reported that yo-yo iron was working well for yellowtail aboard Tribute and that the Salas 6X Jr. in the blue and white color combination was a hot jig.
Closer to San Diego, boats traveling into Mexican waters to fish for rockfish around Los Coronado Islands continue to do well on a mixed bag of reds and assorted rockfish. New Seaforth out of Seaforth Sportfishing has regularly been traveling into Mexican waters to fish for rockfish species around Los Coronado Islands. The catches on their extended half-day trips have reached limit levels on the best trips and on their most
recent trip New Seaforth had 22 anglers catch 145 rockfish.
A productive area for the rockfish fishing around Los Coronado Islands has been the hard bottom to the north and northwest of North Island with a good depth range being in 30 to 50 fathoms. There has also been good fishing in deeper water as Seaforth Sportfishing has been suggesting being prepared to fish deep water by bringing tackle that includes some 16 to 20-ounce sinkers and an outfit with a rod that is capable of fishing those 16 to 20-ounce sinkers at depths down to 800 feet (133 fathoms).
There have been no recent reports about anyone trying to locate some surface fishing species around Los Coronado Islands. There has been 60-degree water to be found around Los Coronado Islands and with water that warm there is reason to think that there could be a chance of locating some January yellowtail or bonito.
Recent weeks have seen a bit of yellowtail and white seabass activity along the San Diego County coast with an occasional yellowtail being caught by boats fishing off Pacific Beach and La Jolla and with an occasional white seabass also being caught incidental to fishing for yellowtail off Pacific Beach. The fishing for yellowtail and white seabass has been very much hit or miss but there have been occasional showings of yellowtail in both areas. Most of the white seabass activity has been found at times when anglers are dropping down baits or iron to fish yellowtail meter marks.
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.
