Long Beach development, 2nd and PCH, is on track to open in fall 2019 The project situated across from Alamitos Bay Marina is coming together in a “refreshing” way for developer.
LONG BEACH — The 2nd and PCH project, a new 220,000-foot retail, restaurant and outdoor space by developer CenterCal, is currently scheduled to open in fall 2019. CenterCal’s newest development, which is already under construction at the old Seaport Marina Hotel, has not garnered the same level of negative attention as the company’s other project – The Waterfront – in Redondo Beach. The 2nd and PCH project – located directly across from Alamitos Bay Marina – could be a destination for boaters once it’s fully operational. Fred Bruning, CEO of CenterCal, stated: “We are on track for our scheduled fall 2019 opening, and we are excited about the response from both the tenants and the residents of the City of Long Beach regarding our project.” Barret Bradley, a development associate with CenterCal, reported the project has currently completed the underground utility work and Building A, which is located on the corner of 2nd and PCH, has most of the columns and

foundation complete. Two steel builds are scheduled for mid July as well, Bradley added in a phone call with The Log. Bradley said one of the major perks and benefits of building at this location will be the beautiful marina views visible from the development’s decks. He added the new visitor-serving retail project focuses on maintaining a “nautical, coastal-contemporary vibe.” One of the committed retailers, according to Bradley, is a Whole Foods market. The relative ease of CenterCal’s
progress at 2nd and PCH is a stark contrast with what transpired a few miles up the coast in Redondo Beach. The El Segundo-based developer is currently in a heated legal battle with the city of Redondo Beach over The Waterfront. How the future of that project unfolds is anyone’s guess, but overall Bradley told The Log 2nd and PCH has been mostly smooth. “As with any development, some people are not exactly sure,” Bradley said, referring to community response when a new project goes into their hometown. “Every time we go out [for
feedback], our response is great. The community is ready for more retail. Belmont Shore and Long Beach residents don’t have this selection of retail readily available at their doorstep.” While adding CenterCal is currently in the process of going out and gathering more feedback for 2nd and PCH, Bradley said this project has been “refreshing” and Long Beach’s City Council members and city staff have been a “huge proponent” for moving along the process. Bradley also noted 2nd and PCH goes hand-in-hand with a recent dock renovation that took place in Long Beach, possibly creating an attractive atmosphere for boaters. Notably, 2nd and PCH will stand where the once-famed SeaPort Marina Hotel reserved occupancy. The hotel closed for good in 2016 and though the hotel had hosted guests such as Elvis Presley, the Miami Dolphins and Ronald Reagan (when he was a governor), it had a steady and, if one goes by the Yelp reviews, horrifying decline. One such commenter called SeaPort Marina Hotel “a zombie eyesore.” In an article with the Los Angeles Times last year, Mayor Robert Garcia said the development “will revitalize one of the most important sites in Long Beach.” The property is located on 6400 E. Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach.

Boating Classic Weird Edition: The 1960s Amphicar 2C
By Devon Warren WORLDWIDE — Before the stylish Amphicar convertible drove – and floated –onto the scene in 1961, the United States Navy was the only entity to operate amphibious vehicles. Dubbed the fastest vehicle on land and water simultaneously, Amphicar 770 was first manufactured in Germany and the number meant 70 mph on land and 7 knots in water. President Lyndon B. Johnson even owned one and it was said he used to scare his passengers by driving it straight into the lake, screaming the brakes had gone out on the car. Surely, his passengers were delighted, after being
NEWS BRIEFS NATION/WORLD
Researchers have observed an increase in whale shark encounters in Hawai’i.
Whale shark encounters in Hawai’i have increased, study says KAILUA-KONA, Hawai’i (AP) — A marine researcher in Hawaii who has observed an increased
frightened half to death, when they realized the technology of the Amphicar. “Wild” Bill Hill, a Sacramento resident and tattoo shop owner, represents California with his revamped Amphicar. Racing into the water at 30 mph makes a statement with the car, according to Hill. Hill told abc10 news, “On land, it drives like a boat. In the water, it drives like a car,” pointing out the engine only puts out about 43 horsepower. One of his biggest fears is “the ‘L’ word” – leaks. However, Hill said the car, while made to be in the water, could be driven onshore if leaking occurs. This begs the question: How many Amphicars didn’t make it back to land
and instead ended up at the bottom of a lake, ocean or river? Today, there are only a few hundred of the vehicles/water crafts left in the United States and abroad after production ceased in 1968, but they still fascinate spectators. Disney World’s The Boathouse gives vintage Amphicar rides to patrons and The International Amphicar Owners’ Club (IAOC) holds an
event annually in Celina Lake celebrating owners of these novelty vehicles. On the IAOC’s official website, it states, “We are a fairly small group with our numbers not quite totaling 400, but our enthusiasm for all things Amphibious is huge!” To join the club, owning an Amphicar isn’t mandatory, but President Jim Golomb says, “There is always an ample amount of people willing to give rides!”
rate of whale shark encounters around the islands is developing a research program to document the giant fish rarely found in U.S. waters. Maria Harvey worked for seven years in various capacities off the shores of West Hawai’i before she saw her first whale shark. Since then, she’s seen about 30. In 2016, Harvey came up with a research idea for the Hawai’i Uncharted Research Collective, a nonprofit organization, to chart whale sharks around the state and hopefully create better protections for the species, West Hawai’i Today reported. “Whale sharks are considered an endangered species,” Harvey,
chief research coordinator, said of her motivation to develop the program. “So if they are in our waters, we need to understand how to protect them and how to preserve them.” Stacia Goecke, the organization’s chief scientist and co-founder, said whale sharks have been overfished around the world, leading to a decline in the overall population. She said the only restriction applying to whale sharks in the U.S. is that no one is allowed to catch and sell them for use in aquariums. Goecke said ocean goers have reported more sightings in 2017 and 2018 than during any other years – to date more than 50. Funding for the research
project is still in its early stages. To date, the organization has only obtained one grant, from the California-based PADI Foundation, to construct a laser photogrammetry rig. The device uses two lasers with a camera to measure the length of a whale shark, which will allow them to delineate between juvenile and adults.

Re: Poseidon’s Desalination Plant in Orange County: Protector of all Seafarers (June 29-July 12 issue)
Opposition to the desalination plant I believe the desalination plant, if built will allow future in-fill development. I oppose the Project for this reason. The Project will not accomplish its stated purpose. Certain types of in-fill development including high density and affordable housing projects are currently permitted by state laws without discretionary approval from local governments (cities), or a local government’s discretionary authority has been severely limited by these bills. In 2017 the State enacted 20 housing related bills. The stated goal was to help meet the state’s existing housing shortage and make housing more affordable. These bills promote development of new high density and affordably prices housing projects in in-fill areas. In order to make these projects economically feasible these bills give this project a break. They are provided streamlined permitting and are not required to fully mitigate
for their adverse impacts on existing infrastructure (roads, storm drains, etc.), let alone their adverse impact to the quality of life affecting the residents in affected communities. These State housing bills are another form subsidy/taxation impacting the middle class. One example being AB 2299 (enacted in 2017) which authorizes the potential construction of approximately 8 million Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) statewide, or the potential for an estimated 10,000 ADUs in the city of Newport Beach, subject only to issuance of a building permit (a non-discretionary action). The O.C. Water District denies the Poseidon Project will have a growth inducing impact saying the Project will only recharge and help manage the groundwater basins. The OCWD says local water agencies will address any growth inducing impacts as they take water from these groundwater basins. I believe this is wrong and that this position fails to fully inform the public of the effects of the Project. For this reason, I oppose the Project. However, if the OCWD conditions the Project to require water treated by the

Caught in too many Headlights? Catalina Island seeks to wrangle deer population Local conservancy seeks options to control burgeoning number of deer roaming around Catalina Island. By Parimal M. Rohit
CATALINA ISLAND — Deer, like sea lions, are affectionately viewed as adorably cute mammals by a large contingency of humans. The human co-existence with deer, much like our relationship with the sea lion, can be tenuous at times. Such tensions between humans and deer appear to be unfolding on Catalina Island, where the local bovid population has reportedly experienced a dramatic rise in numbers. Catalina Island Conservancy, which manages the island’s open spaces, recently broached the topic of the growing deer population on California’s most populous rock. The situation has reached a point where the Conservancy, according to its CEO, could consider implementing a form of population control segments
of humans are certain to find appalling or cringe-worthy: deer hunting. The island’s current deer population is almost five times what is sustainable, Catalina Conservancy CEO Tony Budrovich told council members at their June 19 City Council meeting. Avalon city staff stated the management of Catalina’s deer population would, at least for now, be the responsibility of the Conservancy and City Hall. “The deer on the island are at a higher level then we think is sustainable,” Budrovich told council members. “We’ve worked with a variety of people in the scientific community and they have established that the island would probably very easily carry 500 deer. That seems like the right number for 48,000 acres. We’re probably in excess of 2,300 deer on the island. “There is a lot more munching going on than we think is sustainable for the plants and animals of the island,” Budrovich continued, adding he has met with California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife in search of a solution. See STANDING WATCH page 7
FAST FACTS
Catalina Island’s Strategic Play for World War II By Parimal M. Rohit CATALINA ISLAND — Boaters and tourists know Catalina Island to be Southern California’s getaway destination, but there was a period of time when Avalon and its surroundings became victimized by conflict. Both the city and island transformed from a recreational hotspot to a hub of militaristic strategy shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor sucked the United States into World War II. Catalina, of course, is just beyond the shores of Los Angeles - coincidentally one of the closest U.S. cities to Hawai’i. A story published by KCET in January 2013 stated, in light of the Pearl Harbor, there were worries opposing forces could subsequently use the island to stage an attack against the U.S. Mainland. It did not take long for such worries to turn into fears. The fears then caused the island to devoid of tourists and visitors - opening the door for Avalon (and the island in general) to become a staging ground for the U.S.’s Pacific theater defense. “Gripped by fear, Avalon promptly emptied of tourists,” the KCET story stated.“Many residents
fled, too, and soon the Coast Guard had closed the San Pedro Channel to most vessels. Authorities declared the island a Federal Military Zone. Catalina’s tourism-dependent economy ground to a halt.” Many of Avalon’s signature landmarks were used as a “training camp” by wings of the U.S. military. “The island nimbly reinvented itself as a training camp for spies, commandos, merchant marines, Coast Guard recruits, and other uniformed service members [in response to Pearl Harbor and the U.S.’s entry into World War II],” the KCET story stated.“Vacant hotels became barracks. Empty marinas, yacht clubs, and even the Chicago Cubs’ spring training ballpark were transformed into simulated warzones. Engineered by the Wrigley family, which controlled much of the island, the tactic saved Catalina from economic disaster.” Even the Two Harbors area was used for training exercises. Much of what happened on the island in the 1940s became the subject of an exhibition at the Catalina Island Museum (which ran in 2013).

Standing Watch From page 6
DFW staff apparently made three recommendations to Budrovich: the department remains hands off and local property owners bear the responsibilities of wildlife; increase hunting takes; or, birth control. Budrovich stated the mandated hunting of deer isn’t necessarily a sustainable program, and birth control programs are complicated and difficult to execute. Approaching the management of deer as a property interest, meanwhile, could well be a financial burden to the Conservancy but, as of right now, probably the most sensible solution. Allowing hunters to track down deer for sport – assuming deer hunting becomes the adopted strategy – has parallels to the possible implementation of a proposed population control strategy in the Pacific Northwest. The growing number of California sea lions near Columbia River’s Bonneville Dam, according to Oregon and Washington wildlife managers, are preying on endangered salmon species in the area. An act of Congress is literally in the works to protect the endangered salmon from pinniped predation. Federal legislators are currently reviewing a proposal, which was recently introduced in the House of Representatives, to allow the limited killing of sea lions as a means to protect salmon runs in a stretch of Columbia River about 40 miles east of Portland, Oregon.
The Log • July 13 - 26, 2018 • 7
The proposal reportedly advanced out of the lower legislative branch; a companion bill is also on the Senate floor. A news report on the recent House vote stated conservation efforts helped restore the California sea lion population to about 300,000; the large concentration of pinnipeds now poses a threat to steelhead salmon in the Pacific Northwest. Federal officials would be granted a limited number of kill permits in an effort manage the California sea lion population and
protect the region’s salmon. Whether a similar act of Congress is required to manage the deer population on Catalina Island remains unclear, but the Conservancy certainly wants to get ahead of the issue. “We’re open to other options,” Budrovich said. “We’re looking at the long-term fix. There’s no immediate fix.” Budrovich added management of deer populations is not just a Catalina Island issue; mountain communities
across the country are dealing with a proliferation of deer, and Budrovich said it’s definitely a problem. The optics of managing deer is also an issue to factor into discussions of population management. “There’s ... that balance of people who just love the look of a deer compared to the people who just want to worry about the conservation side of it. When it gets passed healthy that’s when the Conservancy feels it’s necessary to do something,” Budrovich said.
TAKE ACTION How should Catalina Island manage its deer population? Should City Hall and the Conservancy take matters into their own hands and treat the island’s deer as a property interest (and, hence, the responsibility of property owners)? Should deer hunting be permitted? Is birth control the answer? Perhaps there is another alternative? Reach out to the following decision makers and chime in with your thoughts or suggestions.

problems with power. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers increased water releases last month from the Garrison Dam from 52,000 cubic feet per second to 60,000. The releases have caused the Missouri River to be faster and stronger, carrying large debris. The river was at just more than 13 feet as of noon on June 29, the Bismarck Tribune reported. “It’s just a constant battle right now,” Larry Haisely, co-owner of Misty Waters Marina in Bismarck, said. He said every dock at the marina has been modified, with extended ramps and docking to accommodate customers. Some have had to wade through water to their boats, which Haisley said isn’t ideal but necessary as the marina works quickly to make repairs. “It’s definitely affected business,” he said. “People are a little bit skeptical about going out on the river. I’ve been out, and actually it’s not bad. People just have to be observant of debris moving down the river.” Information from the corps about rising water levels has been “somewhat lax,” Haisley said, adding that he doesn’t expect the water levels to decrease soon. “I really believe it’s going to be high all summer,” he said. “The marina, we can live with this right now, but probably another 6 inches and we’re going to have to shut the marina down.”
Boat inspections stopping invasive mussels at Idaho border COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho officials say more boats carrying invasive mussels have been intercepted at inspection stations so far this year than for the entire boating seasons in each of the last five years. Nick Zurfluh of the Idaho State Department of Agriculture says 41,000
inspections have found 36 watercrafts with mussels. Quagga and zebra mussels can clog water pipes, damage boat motors and affect other aquatic life. Zurfluh tells the Coeur d’Alene Press in a story in early July so far there have been no confirmed mussel infestations in Idaho. State officials say it could cost the state $100 million annually in damage and lost revenue if mussels infest Idaho’s water.
STATE Albemarle Boats selects Kusler Yachts as West Coast Sales and Service Dealer SAN DIEGO — Kusler Yachts and Alemarle Boats, which is currently celebrating its 40-year anniversary, recently announced the sales and service dealer in San Diego will have an exclusive contract on the West Coast and Mexico. Michael Kusler, owner of Kusler Yachts, stated about the newly formed partnership, “Kusler Yachts is extremely selective in the boat brands we represent; the entire line of Albemarle Expresses provides a soft, dry ride and superior protection from the elements, allowing boating and fishing even when the weather keeps others at the dock. We think Albemarle will be a great fit with our other brands and meet the growing demand for Express style boats here on the West Coast.” Abermarle Boats is located in Edenton, North Carolina, and merged with Carolina Classic several years ago.

Fish and Game Commission endorses ocean litter strategy update Ocean Protection Council revisits 2008 policy with an updated mandate. By Parimal M. Rohit
SACRAMENTO — California’s Fish and Game Commission (FGC) took a significant step toward addressing ocean litter by endorsing Ocean Protection Council’s document on combating and preventing ocean litter. Ocean Protection Council presented its “California Ocean Litter Prevention Strategy: Addressing Marine Debris from Source to Sea” to commissioners at their June 20 meeting in Sacramento. Holly Wyer, the council’s marine pollution program manager, explained the state’s original strategy to address ocean litter and marine debris, which was developed in 2008, needed to be updated to be more expansive. The 2008 strategy, for example, was agency focused, limited to lost fishing gear reporting and deposit programs, and did not mention aquaculture gear. The 2018 update broadens the strategy’s focus and agency participation. There is an expanded focus on fishing gear and inclusion of aquaculture gear in the updated strategy, according to Wyer staff. “The 2008 strategy was specifically geared only toward actions the agency could take to address ocean litter,” Wyer told commissioners. “In contrast, the 2018 document is geared toward a wide variety of organizations taking on actions to address this problem.” The updated strategy’s themes focused on source reduction and prevention, control and cleanup. It is expected to be a six-year document, with webinars or conference calls held every six months and in-person workshops held every two years.
Plenty of Trash in the Sea Ocean Protection Council, in its strategy update, estimated about 78 percent of Southern California river miles “and about one third of seafloors

and seafloor sediments in the Southern California Bight contain trash. “Plastic is the most prevalent type of litter found across all habitats in the Southern California Bight, with wrappers, bags, plastic pieces, and expanded polystyrene being the most commonly found plastic items,” the Ocean Protection Council strategy update stated. “Seventy-three water bodies throughout the State of California are listed as having impaired water quality due to the presence of large amounts of trash [according to California’s State Water Board in 2015]. The California coast and ocean are also impacted by lost fishing gear.”
Looking Ahead Staff with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) and FGC, for example, would work on reviewing and developing aquaculture leases. CalRecycle, meanwhile, could spearhead packaging reform, according to the strategy update. The department could also build or expand fishing gear recovery programs, while the commission might develop best management practices. Other possible approaches to address ocean litter could include the development of safer consumer products by the Department of Toxic

Substances Control and trash amendments by the State Water Board, according to Wyer. “Ocean litter is recognized as a pervasive problem at local, regional, and global scales, with a wide range of consequences to human and marine species health, the environment, and the economy,” DFW staff stated in a report to commissioners. “The 2008 strategy served as a powerful and effective document to promote collaborative agency action on addressing ocean litter. Since 2008, many actions described in the document have either been accomplished or are in progress.” An extensive stakeholder outreach process was conducted to craft the 2018 strategy on addressing ocean litter, Wyer told commissioners. Stakeholders were local governments, tribes and organizations active in aquaculture, conservation, education, fishing, plastics and packaging, research and waste reduction. Workshops to receive public input on ocean litter reduction strategies were held in May 2017 and November 2017. Commissioners adopted an ocean litter prevention strategy in April. The current strategy is an update of the 2008 implementation by the state of California and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to reduce and prevent ocean litter.
Marine Debris vs. Ocean Litter NOAA’s recent updated of its own marine debris program helped provide perspective of the current state of marine debris, hence opening the door for California to enhance its own approaches in managing or preventing ocean litter. “Given that understanding of the ocean litter issue has changed considerably in the last decade, in 2017-2018 OPC and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Marine Debris Program partnered to update the 2008 strategy through a multi-agency and stakeholder process,” DFW staff stated in its report to commissioners. “The 2018 update expands the previous strategy to include projects at a variety of scales and scopes for collaborative efforts by government agencies, industry, academia, nonprofits, and tribes to reduce ocean litter in California. “Notably, in contrast to 2008, the 2018 strategy recognizes fisheries and aquaculture as potential sources of debris, and identifies DFW and FGC as collaborative partners with industry practitioners in the action plan,” DFW staff continued. The Ocean Protection Council’s priorities also focus on reducing or managing land-based ocean litter, microplastics/microfibers and fishing/ aquaculture gear. There is a distinction between marine debris and ocean litter. Marine debris, according to Ocean Protection Council, consists of “items that entered the marine environment via activities that occurred at sea” Ocean litter, meanwhile, are foreign objects found in the water but originated from land. “The most common ocean litter items in California are cigarette butts and food and beverage packaging,” the Ocean Protection Council’s strategy update stated. Ocean Protection Council began working on ocean litter in 2007; its initial strategy on the issue was published one year later.

Second stakeholder meeting held to discuss green-themed document and program. By Parimal M. Rohit LOS ANGELES — A second advisory meeting of the 2017 Clean Air Action Plan for the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach was held among harbor officials and local stakeholders, June 26. Port district officials and staff have already touted a successful execution of the Clean Air Action Plan for the first quarter of 2018. New registration requirements for trucks, for example, would establish compliance with certain emissions standards by Oct. 1. Development of a zero-emission pilot truck demonstration is already underway. Also in the works is a study to determine what rates should be assessed on non-compliant trucks (as of 2020). Proposals are being sought for an at-berth emission control system for commercial ships. A vessel speed reduction marker could also be implemented. Both ports, meanwhile, are working to develop an incentive program for ships to become greener. A new emission-controller device could soon be installed and tested on a tugboat; the contract for the new device should be in front of each Board of Harbor Commission within the next few weeks. Staffs at both port districts plan to develop a baseline for greenhouse gas emissions inventory and data gathering for truck and terminal equipment feasibility during the next three months. A call for projects for innovative emission-reduction technologies is also on tap. The two port districts are also working on applying for grant opportunities, among other action items. Several recreational boating marinas call the Port of Los Angeles home. Boaters co-exist side-by-side with large tankers and negotiate local roads with several trucks leaving the harbor area. The Clean Air Action Plan might focus on the commercial aspect of the Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor, but recreational boaters are certainly affected by the daily happenings at the port district. The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach planned to hold up to four advisory board meeting per year to discuss the Clean Air Action Plan update, which was approved by the harbor departments of both port districts on Nov. 2, 2017. The first advisory meeting was held March 29 in Long Beach; the June 26 meeting was held at the Crowne Plaza Los Angeles Harbor Hotel in San Pedro. Both port districts updated the Clean Air Action Plan, which was originally approved in 2006, as part of a
collective strategy to achieve a zero-emission future at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. “Since 2005, port-related air pollution emissions in San Pedro Bay have dropped

Fiscal committees in State Senate and Assembly will determine fates of SB 834 and AB 1775. By Parimal M. Rohit
SACRAMENTO — A pair of bills seeking to prevent new offshore drilling activities off the California coast are currently being reviewed by the Appropriations Committees in both houses; each bill made it out of its respective committee in the State Senate and Assembly. Senate Bill 834 (SB 834) and Assembly Bill 1775 (AB 1775) both challenge federal efforts to pursue new offshore drilling opportunities off the California coast. Both bills, if approved by state legislators and signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, would continue California’s efforts to challenge Pres. Donald J. Trump’s environmental policies. The Assembly’s Natural Resources Committee approved SB 834 by a 7-3 vote on June 25, allowing it to move forward to the lower house’s Appropriations Committee one day later. SB 834 made it out of the State Senate by a 24-8 vote (7 no-shows) on May 30. AB 1775, meanwhile, made it out of the State Senate’s Natural Resources
and Water Committee on June 26 (7-2 vote), setting it up to be in the upper house’s Appropriations Committee. Assembly members approved this proposal on May 30; the vote was 45-24 with 9 no-shows. Both bills, which mirror each other, propose to prohibit oil and gas exploration on state lands associated with Outer Continental Shelf leases. State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, and Assembly member Al Muratsuchi, D-Torrance, introduced their respective bills in response to Trump’s Two bills opposing a federal plan to pursue offshore drilling opportunities off in U.S. waters off the California coast are being reviewed by Appropriations Committee members in both legislative houses. plan expand offshore oil and gas drilling opportunities in federal waters.

SAN DIEGO — Four captains from Seaforth Sportfishing in San Diego take a break from chasing tight lines and read the June 15 issue of The Log. Waders and beachgoers at San Diego’s Mission Bay surround the Log-reading captains. Seaforth is home to Apollo, Aztec, Cortez, El Gato Dos, Endeavor, New Seaforth, Outer Limits, Pacific Voyager, Poseidon, Pride, Privateer, Prowler, San Diego, Sea Watch, Tomahawk, Tribute and Voyager. The 54 anglers aboard the full-day San Diego had a fish count of 225 yellowtails as of July 1. A 1.5-day voyage aboard Prowler had 13 bluefin tuna for 22 anglers (also a July 1 report). Someone caught a yellowfin tuna aboard the three-day Pacific Voyager.

AVALON — Trying to find a purpose for the Casino Fuel Dock property in Avalon has proved challenging, but it appears a long-term solution might be on the horizon. Council members who had previously been precluded from negotiations were, at a recent City Council meeting, called to draw cards to decide who could enter negotiations for the hotly debated stretch of property on Avalon Harbor’s waterfront. Cards were pulled, at Avalon City Council’s June 19 meeting, between three council members who were determined to have conflicts of interest. The cards would help council members decide could enter the discussion of the Fuel Dock Café’s future. City Attorney Scott Campbell, when questioned by Council member Cinde MacGugan-Cassidy, mentioned this was a somewhat routine practice. MacGugan-Cassidy and Richard Hernandez both have connections to Catalina Island Company, who is the landlord for the Casino Fuel Dock space. A client of new Council member Pam Albers, meanwhile, recently purchased the Metropole Hotel, which is located in Downtown Avalon. Avalon’s City Council is currently reviewing proposals from three parties: Megan Wright and Howard CMD; Rick Staunton, Jim Ulickas and Caleb Lins; and, Gregory and Elizabeth Wenger. A request for proposals to lease the property was published in September 2017. Albers pulled the highest card from a deck presented by Campbell, mean-

Newport Beach confirms appointments for three Harbor Commission seats By Parimal M. Rohit NEWPORT BEACH — A game of musical chairs will be played at the next Newport Beach Harbor Commission meeting, as the city’s maritime-themed advisory board will welcome a new appointee to the dais. Donald Yahn joins the Harbor Commission after his appointment was approved by the Newport Beach City Council, June 26. Yahn is the fourth appointee to fill a vacancy since 2014. Duncan McIntosh completed his second four-year term as commissioner. Also returning to the Harbor Commission are Ira Beer and William Kenney. All three appointments were unanimously selected by the City Council. Clark Cashion and Somer Harding were also candidates for the Harbor Commission vacancies, but neither of them received any votes. All three appointees will assume their new terms at their next meeting, which is scheduled for July 11. Kenney most recently served as the

Project not to be used for new development, I will support the Project. Southern California’s ground water basins are underground storage reservoirs. They are in an overdraft condition. Southern Californians pumps out more groundwater than is naturally replaced and recharged by man. Drought conditions increase this in-balance decreasing the amount of water stored in these underground reservoirs. Southern California needs to be protected against drought cycles. For years it was widely said that without new water supplies California’s population cannot continue to grow. The State’s recent housing related bills invalidate this belief. The State legislature is committed to find ways to provide housing to meet the projected population increase in southern California. If approved, the water from the Project will be used for new development. Additional water conservation rules will be imposed (one example being AB 1668). I think this is the message that needs to be heard. David Tanner, President, Environmental & Regulatory Specialists, Inc.
Re:“In-Danger” designation for vaquita habitat could be delayed (June 15-28 issue)
A bleak future for the vaquita and totoaba Since we know that the taking of the toboaba fish in the Gulf of Mexico is causing the inevitable extinction of the vaquita Porpoise, I thought we should consider how many are being taken yearly. This would give us an understanding of the size of the problem. The number of fish tells us how many boats are out there and more specifically, the number of the 2-kilometer-long nets that are being cast. The totoaba bladder is what is commonly referred to as the valued prize. CNN reports that the black-market operation of totoaba bladders is estimated to be a multibillion dollar industry. The recent confiscation of 200 bladders was valued at 3.6 million or $18,000 each. Other reports state the value as $20,000 per kilogram, which we will use as a conservative weight of one bladder. Divide 19,000 (average) into 2 billion and we get $105,000 bladders needed. Now let’s factor in the Mexican cartels. On May 5, 2018 Laura Elena Aguayo from The Voice of the Boarder described the confiscation of 229 bladders filled with 100 kilos of cocaine. The cocaine was valued at 7.5 million. As before, we divide bladders to get value (7.4 mil/ 229) or $32,751each. Now we add them together for a drug filled value of $51,750. Dividing that number by the estimated international trade value of 2 billion we get a much lower estimate of 38,647. This conservative number of contraband laded totoaba fish caught yearly to maintain a 2 billion yearly trade requires a lot of fishing. Now that the brackish water along the Colorado River Delta, in which they mature, is high in salinity, the future of the vaquita and the totoaba are bleak. Tony Brunn, Sea of Companions, LLC

CenterCal’s King Harbor revitalization project, with pending lawsuits, appears to have hit the skids (for now). By Parimal M. Rohit
REDONDO BEACH — Yet another page dramatically turns in the ongoing saga that is The Waterfront of Redondo Beach, as the El Segundobased developer seeking to revitalize the King Harbor area has withdrawn its California Coastal Commission application. It is unclear what the withdrawal means for the project overall, but CenterCal and Redondo Beach won’t be in front of the Coastal Commission as planned in August, leaving the massive revitalization project in limbo. CenterCal CEO Fred Bruning confirmed his company’s application withdrawal from the Coastal Commission, stating the future of the project now rests with the courts. “We have asked the Coastal Commission to withdraw our application,” Bruning told The Log in an email. Bruning put the onus of the revitalization’s current status on the city of Redondo Beach, claiming it purposely avoided contact with CenterCal. “The city appears to be hopelessly deadlocked, and will not even respond to our requests to address the [environmental impact] issues and the site plan,” Bruning said. “It is hard to carry on a conversation when one Party is not acting in good faith. It looks like the courts will have to resolve this.” Coastal Commission staff reportedly sent letters to the city of Redondo Beach and CenterCal’s executive team, requesting the project be withdrawn. Noaki Schwartz, spokesperson with the Coastal Commission, confirmed the quasi-judicial agency issued letters to both parties. The Log reached out to Redondo Beach city staff but did not hear back from them prior to deadline. There is no timeline as to when the state court will issue a judgment on the matter. CenterCal had sued the city of Redondo Beach, hoping to prevent a voter approved ballot initiative from taking effect. The ballot initiative was Measure C, which was approved by Redondo Beach voters in March 2017. Measure C would alter the city’s zoning requirements to restrict the size of waterfront development. At issue is whether CenterCal’s The Waterfront, which had been in the works several years before Measure C was placed in front of voters, would be subject to the new slow growth requirements. Both sides have been embroiled in a legal battle ever since. The matter appeared to be on a path for settlement when CenterCal and the city of Redondo Beach met with the Coastal Commission earlier this year. A public hearing was scheduled for August, but
CenterCal’s application withdrawal certainly means the Coastal Commission is out of the picture, for now. The developer’s decision to withdraw The Waterfront’s application from the Coastal Commission process means it is now up to the legal system to determine whether or CenterCal CenterCal withdrew its “The Waterfront” application from the California will have a say in Coastal Commission, it was confirmed. The future of Redondo Beach’s redeveloping the King King Harbor redevelopment is now up to the courts.

Redondo Beach’s “The Waterfront” withdrawn from Coastal Commission Harbor area. CenterCal’s project was estimated to cost as much as $400 million to build. The plan proposed to bring several new amenities to the King Harbor area, such as new restaurants and retail shops, a boutique hotel, cinemas, creative office space and a public market hall. Boaters hoped the revitalization plan would have brought a boat launch ramp, which has not existed in the area for decades, to Redondo Beach. Opponents of The Waterfront called the CenterCal project an oversized mall on the sea.

Ventura County names Mark Sandoval as Channel Islands Harbor director Former Long Beach Marine Bureau chief also managed private marinas on Central California coast. By Parimal M. Rohit
OXNARD — Former Long Beach Marine Bureau Manager Mark Sandoval was announced, July 3, as the new director of Channel Islands Harbor. Sandoval returns to a publicly managed harbor after spending the past four years as general manager of Monterey Lakes Recreation Co. There he managed recreation properties at Lake Nacimiento and Lake San Antonio. Ventura County Executive Officer Mike Powers announced Sandoval’s appointment; the 59-year-old assumes his new role on July 16 and will earn
$194,053. Sandoval succeeds former director Lyn Krieger, who recently retired. Krieger, interestingly enough, remained on board with the Ventura County Harbor Department as a parttime employee during the transition period; the county agreed to pay her $93 per hour during her part-time employment. The county recommended Sandoval as Krieger’s successor by a panel comprised of a Ventura Harbor port commissioner, Port of Hueneme CEO, California Marine and Navigation Conference executive director, Channel Islands Lessee’s Association president, Oxnard’s interim city manager and the county’s Assistant County Executive Office. Sandoval will assume management of a harbor home to 310 acres of land and water area, more than 2,000 boat slips, marina facilities, restaurants,

SAN DIEGO — The special Port of San Diego district does not collect taxes, but boaters in America’s Finest City can’t avoid the taxman as the more than 13,000 boats south of Orange County and north of the Mexico border contributed to a taxable property value of $543.6 billion in 2017. San Diego County’s Assessor announced the total property levies for 2017 on June 29. The assessment roll for all properties countywide increased by more than five percent, compared to 2016, according to San Diego Assessor Ernest Dronenburg, Jr. The 2018 Assessment Roll included 13,018 boats, Dronenburg said in a released statement. Also included on the assessment roll were nearly 1 million real estate parcels, 57,973 businesses and 1,510 aircrafts. The exact amount of tax collected from the 13,018 boats was not immediately available. A published table of parcel inventory and assessed valuations for the 2017-18 fiscal year shows San Diego County was home to 14,730 recreational properties. It was unclear how many of those were boats.

His 26-year tenure at the city of Long Beach was not without controversy. Sandoval claimed he was forced to retire from his position as Marine Bureau chief in 2013. He specifically faced questions about the price tag for the Alamitos Bay Marina rebuild and how parking was handled at a major public event. Sandoval, who managed amenities such as food and beverage venues at Lake Nacimiento and Lake San Antonio, lodging, marinas and retail, is also on the board of directors of the California Association of Harbor Masters and Port Captains. Additional reporting on Sandoval’s hire at Channel Islands Harbor will appear in a future issue of The Log.

Story and photo by Capt. Nicole Sours Larson
SAN DIEGO — Staff at several marinas report their jobs now entail daily whacka-mole duties, searching websites for illicit charter and short-term vacation rentals – or STVRs – located at their marinas. Illicit overnight rentals are difficult to police, they explain. As soon as they identify one and shut it down or boot the offender from the marina, more show up. As with STVRs, one owner reaps the financial benefits of unauthorized overnight boat rentals or charter operations, while surrounding slipmates endure the negative behavior and loss. Remember when a pleasure craft was just that, a boat used for recreational purposes? When people bought a boat or home they could reasonably afford, not one they intend to finance by renting it out for illegal charters or questionable “vacation” occupancy? Operators of illegal charters and vacation rentals, whether on land or water, bear striking similarities. Increasingly I’ve heard about boat owners’ intent to “maximize the profitability of my asset.” I first heard this phrase bandied about during endless public hearings I’ve attended focused on reining in and regulating short-term vacation rentals of homes and condos.

Regarding such “AirBnB”-type boats: I’ve endured the noise and erratic behavior of unruly dockside “vacationers” clueless about boats and marine systems – and seen the results when an ignorant crowd of drunken party-goers unbalanced and sank a houseboat. Yes, the owners lost their “asset,” but mostly such owners milk their assets without paying any taxes or regulatory fees. It’s quite a comedy observing boat owners who’ve proclaimed their intent to “maximize the profitability of their asset,” welcome “friends,” clearly strangers, aboard their boats for paid cruises. Are the owners licensed captains, required under Coast Guard regulations, if they’re taking paid guests on cruises or fishing trips? Do they have required permits, inspections, safety equipment and insurance? Are they paying local taxes or port fees? Boat owners seeking to rent their boat illicitly, as with many STVR owners, assert it’s their property and they can use it as they wish. Besides, all those

Dana Point Harbor lease agreement on deck for supervisors Orange County will finally vote on redevelopment vendor at July 17 meeting.
Estimated Construction Costs
DANA POINT — About 21 years has passed since plans for a revitalized Dana Point Harbor were first introduced. Those plans might finally have a vehicle for realization as Orange County’s Board of Supervisors is set to vote on a master lease agreement for Dana Point Harbor’s long-awaited update. Supervisors will deliberate the proposed agreement at their July 17 meeting. Official documents associated with the master lease agreement were made available on the Board of Supervisors website. Dana Point Boaters Association (DPBA) shared the documents with its membership on July 4. “Your DPBA has obtained all the official documents for the upcoming Regular Meeting of the County Board of Supervisors on July 17,” the DPBA eNewsletter stated. “Yes, you read this right! The master lease agreement authorizing the long awaited (P3) private-public-partnership, to rebuild and operate the harbor for the next 66 years, is finally ready for Orange County Board of Supervisors review and approval.” County staff stated the lease, if approved, could yield about $717 mil-

lion in revenues during the 66-year life of its contract. Dana Point Harbor Partners, the revitalization’s proposed vendor, would “assume full responsibility for redevelopment and construction costs related to the [Dana Point Harbor] revitalization,” county staff stated in a report to supervisors. The anticipated development cost is $337.8 million, according to county staff, with about one-third of the costs dedicated to updating the marina. “[Dana Point Harbor Partners] will be obligated to maintain and renovate the improvements during the term of the lease to ensure the [Dana Point Harbor] cash flow and to protect the asset,” county staff said in a report to supervisors.
LOOKING FOR A NEW HOME PORT? SLIPS ARE AVAILABLE IN LONG BEACH MARINAS
Orange County will subsidize $20 million for the drystack/boat storage component. “[Dana Point Harbor Partners] requested a $20 million county contribution to the project but during negotiations requested the funding be applied to the drystack/boat storage component rather than the parking structure component, as originally contemplated,” county staff stated. “As the financial impact would be neutral to the county, it was agreed that the $20 million would support the drystack/boat storage component, and that in order to provide for transparency and ease of tracking and reporting the use of county funds, a separate lease and option should be created.” Construction is expected to begin in June 2019, assuming supervisors approve the master lease agreement on July 17. Dana Point’s revitalized harbor is scheduled to be operational by June 2025. The entitlements period would begin this month and continue through January 2019 (again, assuming supervisors endorse the master lease agreement). The proposed schedule is subject to change, according county staff, as to allow for due diligence. The marina and dry boat storage component of the revitalization is expected to bring 2,296 new slips to Dana Point Harbor. Also on tap are 388 drystack boat storage spaces and valley boater slips located in between the commercial core and hotel.

Two new hotels would bring 266 rooms (130 boutique, 136 affordable) to the harbor. Plans also call for 116,727 square feet to be available for rent by commercial retail. Most of the space (77,178 square feet) would be set aside for retail and outdoor dining. Marine related retail would occupy 2,000 square feet. The revitalized harbor would also be home to a 9,000-square-foot surfing museum, a market hall and food court, and 5,600 square feet of office space. The master agreement comes to supervisors more than one year after ground broke on the revitalization project and several months after supervisors and staff announced a vendor contract was on the horizon. Dana Point Harbor was originally created in 1968. Infrastructure for a boating marina was installed in 1971; construction was completed in 1975. “During the nearly five decades since that time, much of [Dana Point Harbor’s] infrastructure has deteriorated or reached its useful life, and requires modernization and/or replacement,” county staff stated in a report to supervisors. “With the exception of the Dana Wharf buildings, routine maintenance and some minor improvements, the County has not remodeled or refurbished any of [Dana Point Harbor’s] facilities since the original construction was completed.” A report on the supervisorial vote will be published in the next issue of The Log.

Catalina Island is Southern California’s (not-so) secret idyllic destination
Boaters continue to navigate across the channel to their favorite local getaway. What’s new at SoCal’s hidden gem? By Parimal M. Rohit
CATALINA ISLAND — The Log presents its second-ever issue dedicated to Catalina Island, the only of the network of Channel Islands where humans can take up residence (if they are lucky enough to claim a mooring or terrestrial home at Avalon or Two Harbors). Catalina – a regular destination for Southern California’s borders – is as diverse as it is quaint. The island’s rugged interior offers a wide array of outdoor activities and natural resources. Avalon is a small town where everything is essentially within a few minutes walking distance and operates on “island time.” But don’t be completely “fooled” by Avalon’s slow-pace lifestyle – the only incorporated city in the entire Channel Islands is considered a “metropolis” in the eyes of Two Harbors. In between the two Catalina destinations are plenty of opportunities to hike, camp, fish, moor, dock, swim, dive, kayak, standup paddleboard or relax. Boaters from San Diego to Santa Barbara, meanwhile, regularly navigate across the channel to dock or drop anchor at Avalon Harbor, Two Harbors or any of the smaller coves and landings in between. Boaters, once docked or anchored, have the gamut of activities to explore on the island – assuming they actually want to get off their boat. Two Harbors, for example, continues to be a destination for camping, fishing, hiking and kayaking, among other outdoor activities. Palapas populate one of the most visible
beaches in Two Harbors, giving visitors an opportunity to experience a slice of the South Pacific lifestyle. Those taking up residence at Banning House Lodge will have access to peace of mind, as the property does not have WiFi and its rooms are devoid of television or radio. Of course there are other “modern” amenities to enjoy in Avalon. Take in a bit of culture at Catalina Island Museum, enjoy a smorgasbord of seafood dining options at Bluewater Grill or recharge while being pampered at Island Spa Catalina. Glenmore Plaza Hotel offers a great peek into a time that once was, what with it being the oldest hotel on the island and second-oldest in all of California (only behind Hotel Del Coronado just outside of San Diego). Of course there are the usual landmarks defining Catalina Island, such as The Casino, Mt. Ada and Green Pleasure Pier. Those who want to get out and explore while still being close to the “metropolis” of Avalon can hike among the trees at the Aerial Adventure, enjoy a Zip-line through the local canyons or live the charmed life at Descanso Beach Club. Visitors can also partake in some falconry, take an eco-Jeep tour around the island’s interior, have lunch at Airport In The Sky or start a campfire at one of the designated campsites. Catalina Island essentially has a little something for everyone. Our annual Catalina Island Issue delves in to a few things local boaters can experience when visiting Southern California’s local getaway. The guide also features a listing of upcoming events, resources for boaters to use once at the island, insight on local amenities and happenings, and a few dashes of history. As they always say in Catalina: When you’re here, you’re on Island Time. (Getting off your boat is optional.)

By Devon Warren AVALON — Island life is certainly different from living as a Mainlander, and Catalina Island takes the relaxing island life seriously, especially when it comes to “island time.” It’s common to hear locals in Avalon, Catalina’s only municipality (and a bustling, busy city compared to Two Harbors), talking about being on island time. During City Council meetings, “island time” has also come up before – talk of island time is everywhere. With a staff on the Mainland, The Log recently experienced the island time culture. The time on Catalina Island unofficially runs around 30 minutes behind Pacific Standard Time, which is the official time zone in California. “‘Island time’ is definitely a thing,” says Gail Fornasiere, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Catalina Island Museum. “However, there really is no documentation about it … I think it just naturally occurs when you are on the island – or any island for that matter. The ferries and
the helicopter are typically the ones that do stay on time.” Walking around Avalon, I noticed the chimes struck noon at 12:30 p.m. Eating at a local bar and restaurant, the lunch menu wasn’t available until 11:30 a.m. – however, on island time, that actually translated to about noon. Even in the room I stayed at, while enjoying the amenities of Pavilion Hotel, I casually looked at the clock – turns out it was running 30 minutes behind. However, before turning your watch back, it is important to know while it can be expected some restaurants and businesses may operate on a slightly slower pace, most tourist attractions and ferry departures will run as anticipated according to Pacific Standard Time. On the Mainland, especially on California’s hectic and populous coastline, sometimes it’s hard to imagine finding an extra minute to think or relax, let alone 30. Although, that’s the point – on Catalina Island, it’s a different and magical place akin to the legendary Arthurian island that the city of Avalon shares its name, which strangely enough also translates from

Avalon’s landscape today looks dramatically different than it did in 1894, when the Catalina Island Co. was formed.
Catalina Island Co.: 19th Century Roots, 21st Century Issues Three brothers founded islandmanaging company in 1894 – well before anything we take for granted today came into being. By Parimal M. Rohit
CATALINA ISLAND — The world is dramatically different today than it was in 1894. Nonexistent were the very items we take for granted today – cars, telephones, television, the internet, advances in science and essentially everything else we have at our fingertips. Yet there are still remnants of a time that once was, such as the Catalina Island Co. Three brothers decided to form Catalina Island Co. in 1894. Those brothers – Hancock, Joseph and William Banning – envisioned the large rock 20-some miles off the coast of Los Angeles could become a paradise of a destination for those seeking an “exotic” getaway. Catalina is still a getaway destination for anglers, boaters, divers, kayakers and others, but the world of the Bannings is nowhere near the one we know today. Avalon, Two Harbors and the rest of Catalina Island, in 2018, balances conservation with a developed (but quasi-rural) city. There is still plenty of space to stretch your legs in the island’s interior, yet Avalon can become quite a crowded tourist spot whenever a Carnival cruise comes into town. The company currently operates Avalon Grille, the Casino Ballroom, Catalina Expeditions, Catalina Island Golf Course, Catalina Visitors Country Club, Descanso Beach Club, Hotel Atwater, Pavilion Hotel and all of Two Harbors (such as the general store, palapas and restaurant). What existed on the island (and on the mainland) 124 years ago, of course, was entirely different. Avalon was not
yet an official city at the time; it was still 19 years away from incorporation. The first stagecoach tours into the island’s interior debuted in 1894. Life was wildly different across the channel, as well. Neither Orange County nor Las Vegas, just the same, were incorporated in 1894. Los Angeles was far from a major metropolis – the City of Angels was a quaint little town still trying to find its identity. There was no such thing as Hollywood and California’s urban powerhouse was a few hundred miles to the north in San Francisco. The Port of Los Angeles, one of the transportation hubs for those navigating to and from Avalon or Two Harbors, is not even on the radar. Funding for a deepwater harbor did not become a reality until 1895. Los Angeles’s citywide population is somewhere between 50,000 and 100,000. Grover Cleveland, meanwhile, was President of the United States, serving the second of his non-consecutive terms in the White House. There were only 44 states in the union. Coca-Cola was made available in bottles for the first time ever in 1894. Notable names born that year included Jack Benny, John Ford, Norman Rockwell and Dashiell Hammett. Life has dramatically changed since the Banning brothers formed Catalina Island Co. The company has continued to maintain the most popular rock in the network of Channel Islands, balancing its conservation efforts with maintaining tourist destinations and Avalon and Two Harbors. Development is limited on the island, so Catalina’s permanent population will remain steady in the foreseeable future. Yet the Catalina Island Co. certainly expects to make Avalon, Two Harbors and everything in between as attractive as possible for the hundreds of thousand of people – be it boaters, hikers, natural lovers or tourists – who visit the island annually.

By Devon Warren AVALON — Catalina Island’s fox population is rather special in that this particular species can only be found there and is also listed under the Endangered Species Act. Catalina Island Conservancy carefully and regularly monitors the foxes, so much so the nonprofit organization went above and beyond to help an abandoned fox pup that had lost her mother. Catalina Island Conservancy recently announced it had success in reuniting a mother and her pup after the baby fox was found in poor condition along a road. The pup, a female, was only a few weeks old and her eyes were still closed when she was found. The female pup, according to the Catalina Island Conservancy, might have become lost while the mother was moving her to a new den or could have been abandoned. A local veterinarian nursed the pup back to health and within two weeks, the pup was ready to be released back into the wild – but how would she survive without her mother? Lara Brenner and Emily Hamblen, wildlife biologists for Catalina Island Conservancy, knew what to do, which ultimately led to the fox family’s rec-

onciliation. In hopes of locating the mother fox, Brenner and Hamblen worked quickly to set out specially designed fox traps where the pup had been born. A few adult foxes were captured and – low and behold – a lactating female fox was among them. The fox pup began nursing right away indicating this was likely her mother. The biologists surveyed the pair overnight and into the next morning and placed a radio collar on the adult female. Sadly, when the two were
released, the mother bolted into the night and the pup could not keep up with her. Through tracking the adult, biologists knew she had not gone far. Later on when nightfall came, the mother came back to the kennel, which resulted in her collecting her pup. In a video released by Catalina Island Conservancy, viewers can watch as the pair is reunited together. Brenner, in a press release, stated, “Now, in her [pup] stronger condition, she has a much better chance of surviving with the help of her family.” For those who spot a fox pup in the wild, Brenner recommended, “If you see a fox pup, or a baby animal, on its own, it’s very likely that the parents will come back for it and resume care. If you think the pup may be injured, or are certain that the parents won’t come back, do not touch or move the pup.” Further, take the time to contact the wildlife biologists representing Catalina Island Conservancy if the animal appears to be hurt. To learn more about the Catalina Island Company, visit the website at catalinaconservancy.org. If you spot an animal in need while visiting Catalina Island, contact Conservancy Wildlife Biologists at Laura Brenner at 310510-1299 ext. 233 or Emily Hamblen at 310-510-1299 ext. 232.
Oh Deer: Catalina Island facing overpopulation of four-legged island dwellers The deer population on Catalina Island is currently in excess of around 2,300; announcing open hunting season, relocating deer among possible solutions. By Devon Warren
AVALON — On a recent trip to Catalina Island, it was common for guides to point out the beautiful deer, especially their fawns, while trekking through Descanso Beach and Avalon. However, it seems the sight of so many deer on the island may not be such a marvelous thing after all as the island’s deer population has recently seen a boom that could put the deer, and other natural animals and elements on the island, in danger. Tony Budrovich, president and CEO of Catalina Island Conservancy, made an appearance at the City Council meeting in Avalon held on June 19 to clarify some questions related to the deer overpopulation dilemma. During the meeting, Budrovich shared that while the island could provide for about 500 deer, the island’s deer population is currently in excess by around 2,300 deer.
Budrovich stated he now plays a game where he counts the deer whenever he’s walking to his Hamilton Cove home. One recent count reached a high of 22, to which Budrovich responded, “That’s not good.” The Conservancy CEO added while some deer may eat sprouts, most come into town to feast on garbage and other waste. It has been determined from studies that deer living in the city are not as healthy as those who live in a more natural setting, Budrovich added. Budrovich continued that the deer problem has been steadily growing and he was searching for the most reasonable answer, citing an open season to hunt deer on the island, administration of contraceptives or relocating deer to other parts of the island as possible solutions. Council members brought up the idea of seeking out funding for the problem, but Budrovich stated it would be difficult to secure this kind of funding because deer overpopulation is an issue affecting many mountain towns across the United States. Budrovich also mentioned he had been meeting with the California Fish and Game Commission in Sacramento to discuss solutions, but it may be possible the city or Catalina Island Conservancy will have to take on the

responsibility of “the people’s deer,” as Mayor Anni Marshall referred to them. The mule deer are not endemic and were introduced to the island in the 1920s and 30s to encourage tourism through hunting, according to Catalina Island Conservancy’s website, which reads, “Ecologically and economically, bringing deer to Catalina has been something of a disaster.” The dangers of introducing a non-native species to a foreign area have been well documented throughout history and while Avalon’s city staff has been looking to find solutions to decrease the deer population, a cost-effective and acceptable result has not been reached yet.

A stay at Catalina’s Pavilion Hotel lands guests in the lap of luxury By Devon Warren AVALON — One of Avalon’s most luxurious lodging destinations, the Pavilion Hotel, has been described in a variety of ways by guests, but it’s important to point out it consistently ranks in the 4.7 out of 5 area on just about every booking site. A chic boutique hotel with a European design, it reflects the upscale island vibe that makes Catalina Island so appealing to tourists. In Avalon, proximity to everything is usually measured in steps to show just how close you are to some of the wonderful amenities. Pavilion Hotel is a mere 14 steps to the sand and a short stroll to Green Pleasure Pier. Pavilion Hotel sends a bellboy to take your luggage whenever you arrive on the island via ferry (such as Catalina Express). Check-in is normally at 3 p.m., so this can be nice if you would like to check out the island right away. Shortly after check-in, guests can enjoy an evening wine and cheese reception and get the chance to mingle among some of the other guests. The Pavilion offers suites with French doors that open onto a patio to lounge and relax. The fire pits in the common area were always occupied at night with visitors gathering together to share stories or just enjoy Catalina’s romantic evenings. All of the toiletries, such as complimentary shampoos, conditioners, soaps and lotions, are from Catalina’s Island Spa and, as one might expect, the fragrance is a pleasant tropical fruit medley of some kind. The Pavilion goes above and beyond when it comes to offering delicious meals and room service. Avalon Grille, one of the premier restaurants in town,
also provides room service at dinner while Ben’s Bakery offers in-room lunch deliveries. Each morning, there is a hot breakfast service with a buildyour-own omelet bar. A linen closet was located inside the room with a variety of towels including oversized beach towels for a dip in the ocean. Guests can also enjoy a variety of complimentary services and activities such as use of Island Spa Catalina’s wellness studio, access to Descanso Beach Club, Avalon Scenic Tour, Discover the Casino Tour, miniature golf at Gold Gardens, Seal Rocks Safari and bicycle rentals. Since check-out is at 11 a.m. (unless you can secure a late check-out), guests who travel by ferry will likely have a few hours to burn until the departing vessel arrives. Pavilion Hotel has a comfortable outdoor lobby area where guests are allowed to relax. The luggage check-in system is especially convenient because guests can safely leave their luggage for a few hours and return to pick it up shortly before leaving the island. Running from around $275 to $850 per night depending on the room choice and season, Pavilion is perfect for those who enjoy a ritzy choice where they can be pampered. Catalina Island is naturally a tourist-friendly destination with many of the local hangouts and hotels making it comfortable for guests, and the Pavilion is no exception with friendly service and staff that helps to make a stay here memorable. More information about rates and reservations at the Pavilion is available online at visitcatalina. com/hotels-packages/avalon/ pavilion-hotel.

No Boat, No Problem: Travel in Comfort With Catalina Express DANA POINT— One of the best parts of owning a boat is the ability to cruise to exciting destinations like Catalina Island. There are times, though, when a boat might be out of commission or you’re transporting more guests than can comfortably ride on your boat – this is where a ferry service such as Catalina Express comes in as an alternative to taking your boat. Catalina Express is an ideal way to travel, offering 30 trips daily from San Pedro, Long Beach and Dana Point and takes around an hour to get to the island. In some ways, Catalina Express has built a history along with the island, considering the company’s CEO and President, Greg Bombard, was born on Catalina. In the 2018-2019 issue of Catalina Express Magazine, Bombard stated, “I was born and raised on Catalina Island and I invite you to experience everything this unique destination has to offer … From one converted fishing boat in 1981 to a fleet of eight modern, fast boats, we’ve come a long way. We now carry over a million passengers a year with up to 30 departures daily

to Avalon and Two Harbors from San Pedro, Long Beach and Dana Point.” Back during the earlier days of Catalina’s tourism, way before Catalina Express entered the picture in the early 80s, it is said that passengers traveling on the steamships who caused a fuss were issued a yellow ticket stating they could not return to the island. Luckily, this kind of thing has never happened during a Catalina Express trip. Angela Puchala, Senior Marketing
Manager, told The Log in an email, “I think that happened during the steamship days, but never in our 37 years of [operating] Catalina Express [trips].” During a morning trip to the island from Dana Point, a pod of bottlenose dolphin were spotted by passengers. According to the boat’s captain, this is a fairly usual happening that seemed to go over especially well with the children on the boat. Seating is available inside or outside
on the deck and safety devices are also available onboard for emergency purposes. Upgrades are available to the Commodore Lounge for an additional $15 each way, which allows for passengers to travel in style. Just a few of the perks include priority check-in and boarding, complimentary bottled water soda, beer, and cocktails including a delicious Bloody Mary, comfortable leather-trimmed reclining chairs and an onboard snack or cookie. Departing from sleepy Dana Point was relatively easy, staff was friendly and the recommended check-in time of an hour before departure gave plenty of time to grab a bagel breakfast from a nearby shop. Year-round, Catalina Express offers many vacation packages that include some of the best rated hotels on Catalina and a lot of the deals are quite comparable, especially when traveling during the off-season. A roundtrip ticket costs about $75, not including the price of parking. Visit catalinaexpress.com to learn more about booking tickets or vacation packages, viewing schedules and fares and more.
By Devon Warren AVALON — Mt. Ada, the once home of the Wrigleys, might be one of the best tourist attractions on Catalina Island (they offer a delicious lunch with beautiful views and five-star stays), but another notable home looming over Avalon’s harbor is Holly Hill House. Its history is quite strange and captivating. You cannot miss the Queen-Annestyle Victorian house as you enter Avalon, which began the building process in 1888 and saw completion in 1890 before the Banning Brothers, who developed the island, turned Catalina into a burgeoning tourism destination. With its eye-catching turret and horse weathervane, the house commands attention as one of the oldest in Avalon. Walking along Avalon’s coast, and nestled below Mt. Ada, one can even see the structural work that has gone into preserving the home over the decades. Holly Hill House wasn’t always known by that name. When it was first built by a civil engineer by the name of Paul Gano, who hailed from Ohio, the house was formerly known as Lookout Cottage. With a bizarre and slightly cringe-worthy plotline, Gano’s love decided she was not as crazy about the house as he was and that relationship soured. It has been stated through multiple sources that Gano would not allow any woman to enter the house afterwards and he posted signs warning any ladies in the area they were
not welcome at Lookout Cottage. Gano lived in the stately Victorian until 1921 (coincidentally when the Wrigleys built Mt. Ada) when his failing health took him back to Pasadena for his final days. In the following years, another family resided in the home and changed its name to Holly Hill House as homage to the many holly vines that grew around the property. Holly Hill Holly Hill House, originally called Lookout Cottage by builder Paul Gano, overlooks Avalon’s harbor.

AVALON — There is just something about Glenmore Plaza Hotel from the moment you step inside. On the outside, the hotel is undergoing a little bit of construction, but the lobby interior has an air of mystery akin to the setting of a Hollywood noir film. The hotel, nestled onto Summer Avenue, is the kind of building that seems to have a personality all its own, having hosted soldiers during World War II and celebrity guests like Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, Theodore Roosevelt and Amelia Earhart at one time. With each creak, it’s almost as if the house is breathing, inviting guests in to share in the history and secrets of its over-acentury-long existence. The Glenmore Plaza Hotel was built in 1891 and is a sister hotel to the famed Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego. The same work crew erected both hotels, with Glenmore Plaza being the oldest hotel on Catalina and the second oldest hotel in all of California (right behind Hotel Del Coronado, of course). Jimmy Amoroso, Sr., whose family has owned and operated Glenmore Plaza Hotel for more than 30 years, mentions his family is from Chicago, which of course sparks a conversation about his similarity with the Wrigleys. “The only thing we really have in common with the Wrigleys is that we’re Cubs fans,” Amoroso told The Log. Coincidentally, when The Log dropped in to visit, the Amorosos were on the verge of celebrating the 37th anniversary of owning the hotel. They have put their sweat and blood into Glenmore Plaza Hotel since July 1982. Amoroso’s family business back then was a stereo speaker company that ran out of Anaheim. According to Amoroso, his father saw the hotel and just could not pass up buying it – and it’s been in the family ever since. In the midst of check-in around 2 p.m. (one of the busiest times of the day), Amoroso meets with me and takes me next door to a building where now the continental breakfast
is served. “In the 90s, this building used to be a comedy club,” Amoroso told The Log. The only family to have owned Glenmore Plaza Hotel longer than the Amorosos was the Hathaways, who owned the hotel from 1921 to 1963. Cy Hathaway, a member of the previous family ownership, told Amoroso he once lived on top of a nursery on the roof of the hotel in the 1930s. Metal paneling exists on the side of the building, which Amoroso contributes as a solution to a A view from one of Glenmore Plaza Hotel’s balcony suites.

A proposed development of the aged ferry terminal area will go before the California Coastal Commission. By Devon Warren
AVALON—Visitors traveling via ferry to Avalon pull into the Cabrillo Mole Ferry Terminal, which over the years has seen quite a bit of wear and tear and are in desperate need of repair. Fortunately, repairs to the location, close to Lover’s Cove, have been submitted to the California Coastal Commission and a permit is pending. A Notice of Pending Permit was posted to one of the windows of the visitor center near the mole on May 1. The application number of the project
is 5-17-1043. Under the proposed development, now referred to as the Cabrillo Mole Ferry Terminal Revitalization Project, it is stated, “Proposed repairs include reinforcing members and steel grates on the wharf, concrete slab repairs on the mole, railing repairs and installation of pedestrian shade.” City Manager of Avalon, Denise Radde, was contacted for feedback, but she was unable to comment at press time. The grates, which could potentially be dangerous, have been roped off and visitors are advised not to walk on them. For more information about the project, the notice suggests contacting the California Coastal Commission’s Long Beach office between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at 562-590-5071.

Cabrillo Mole Ferry Terminal may soon see revitalization
Passengers walking near the grates on Cabrillo Mole Ferry Terminal are currently advised not to walk over them as the salty sea air has oxidized and rusted them causing a potential hazard. However, a permit to rejuvenate the area is pending with the California Coastal Commission.

Shipping line earned right to cross channel for delivery of provisions after contentious battle. By Parimal M. Rohit
SAN PEDRO — Avalon, it has long been noted, is mostly devoid of chain or franchise businesses, yet the local ma-and-pa shops still rely upon the mainland for a vast majority of its supplies. Boaters and residents certainly have the option of trekking across the channel to a Costco in Long Beach, Signal Hill or elsewhere in Southern California when it comes time to stock up on provisions or fill the pantry. Yet those aisles of fruits and vegetables at the Vons on Metropole Avenue, the cleaning supplies used at the Pavilion or the products available for sale at Island Breeze Spa and Salon are often brought into town by Avalon Freight Services, the year-round goods transportation vessel navigating to and from the island from San Pedro. Catalina Island’s only incorporated municipality – and, let’s be fair, the only unincorporated town on the other side of the island, as well – relies upon Avalon Freight Services to bring in a boatload of goods and services for tourists, visitors, residents, boaters and
business owners to consume or sell. Avalon Freight Services is based on the mainland and sets sail from the Port of Los Angeles to Catalina Island with various items on board, such as perishable food, supplies for local hotels or consumer goods. Trips are made Monday through Friday at 4 p.m. Chartered navigations are also available. The transportation company only accepts non-perishable items for cross-channel delivery on Saturdays. Goods navigating aboard Avalon Freight Services across Catalina Channel became the norm in 2016 when federal regulatory battle was settled. Avalon Freight Services came out ahead of that battle, when federal trade officials granted the transportation company permission to deliver bottled water, fruits, meats, vegetables and other goods (both perishable and non-perishable) from Los Angeles to Catalina Island. The company, a partnership between Catalina Express and Seattlebased Hanley Marine, began crossing the channel on a regular basis on April 1, 2016. Freight transport to and from Avalon was the subject of a major dispute in the months and years leading up to Avalon Freight Services’ presence at Berth 95 and Catalina Island. The Public Utilities Commission deliberated whether or not the delivery of goods and services to and from the

New York Yacht Club and Royal Yacht Squadron Racing will join Luna Rossa Challenge in challenging Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron for the America’s Cup trophy in 2021.
Three challenges received by New Zealand for 36th America’s Cup in 2021 AUCKLAND, New Zealand (LOG NEWS SERVICE) — On June 30, the end of the initial challenge period for the 36th America’s Cup, the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron (RNZYS) confirmed that three challenges had been received and accepted. The confirmed entries in order of receipt include: • Circolo della vela Sicilia (Italy), represented by Luna Ross Challenge, the Challenger of Record; • New York Yacht Club (USA), repre-
sented by American Magic and • Royal Yacht Squadron Racing (UK), represented by INEOS TEAM UK. “We are thrilled to have three very high-quality challengers confirmed for the 36th America’s Cup in Auckland. It is going to be a fantastic spectacle with this caliber of teams and the cutting edge yachts that the world has never seen. We welcome any further challengers from the teams that we are currently in talks with,” Steve Mair, commodore of the Royal New Zealand
Yacht Squadron said. RNZYS said interest continues from other potential challengers around the world who have until Nov. 30 to enter, as per the Late Entry period defined in the Protocol. Challengers who enter between June 30 and Nov. 30 are required to pay a late entry fee of $1 million. New Zealand defeated the defender, Larry Ellison’s Oracle Team USA 7-1 during the last America’s Cup, which was held in Bermuda in 2017 – the first
time a U.S. defender held the America’s Cup outside the United States. A series of warm-up regattas, The America’s Cup World Series, will be scheduled at various locations in 20192020 to help determine standings for the America’s Cup qualifiers in January and February of 2021. The 36th America’s Cup match, which will be sailed in the new AC 75 Class fully foiling 75-foot monohull racing yacht, is scheduled to be held in Auckland during March of 2021.
SAN DIEGO (LOG NEWS SERVICE) — Four Southern California sailors are on the initial roster of 17 sailors announced July 2 by American Magic, the America’s Cup challenger backed by the New York Yacht Club. The four – who are among nine Americans on the sailing team list – include Caleb Paine (grinder), Andrew Campbell (Helms/Tactician) and Matt Cassidy (Specialist) from San Diego and Cooper Dressler (grinder) from Coronado. Payne, 27, began sailing at age six in sabots at the Mission Bay Yacht Club. He was the United States’ only sailing medalist in the last two Olympics, taking bronze in 2016 in the Finn class in the Rio Games. “It’s one of those things that every sailor dreams of, going to the Olympics
and winning a medal and then being a part of an America’s Cup team and then maybe doing the Volvo Ocean Race,” Paine said. “This is one step closer to making all those dreams come true.” Campbell, 34, was already sailing when his family moved from Toms River, New Jersey to San Diego when he was eight. He represented the U.S. in the Laser completion at the 2008 summer Olympics. Cassidy, 40, learned to sail when he was seven years old in Harbor Springs, Michigan. He began racing around the age of 11 or 12. Dressler, now in his late 20s, has been sailing since he was a young boy, learning the sport at the Coronado Yacht Club, which offered free lessons to children in the community. American Magic, INEOS Team UK
and Italy’s Luna Rossa Challenge are the only syndicates that met the June 30 initial entry deadline for the 2021 America’s Cup in New Zealand. A late entry period will end Nov. 30, but teams must pay a $1 million late entry fee on top of other American Magic, the team challenging Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, will fees.

The King of Spain trophy will be up for grabs, Aug. 11-12. California Yacht Club hosts the King of Spain Regatta in Marina del Rey. The trophy is in honor of Alfonso VIII, who was Spain’s king during the first third of the 20th century.
King of Spain trophy up for grabs at California Yacht Club regatta Prized award was originally obtained from Spain’s King Alfonso XIII in late 1920s. By Parimal M. Rohit
MARINA DEL REY — Sailing teams will be competing for one of the oldest racing trophies in Southern California, as the King of Spain Regatta comes to California Yacht Club, Aug. 11-12. The King of Spain Trophy, which is a sterling silver model of Christopher Columbus’ Santa Marie, has been sought by racing sailors since the 1970s. Winners of the King of Spain Regatta have their names etched onto the trophy. Past winners have included Olympic winners and world champion sailors. This year’s King of Spain Regatta will be held at California YC just before the 2018 Star North American Championship, offering competitors a chance to become familiar with local conditions in the middle of summer. The entry fee is $55 for anyone registering before Aug. 3 and $65 after. Sailing instructions will be available on Aug. 8. All entries must be registered by Aug. 10. Racing will take place in Santa Monica Bay, 1 mile northwest of the Marina del Rey breakwater; the course will be windward/leeward. Racing will begin at 12:30 p.m. on Aug. 11 and 12; the trophy presentation will take place after racing on Aug. 12. Last year’s King of Spain Regatta was held on July 22-23, 2017; 15 teams competed against each other for the right to have their names etched onto the perpetual trophy. “Eric Doyle and Peyton Infelise, sailing for San Diego Yacht Club, finished atop the leaderboard for the second year in a row, with a commanding lead that allowed them to sit out the last race,” the official California YC recap
of last year’s race stated. “The Olympic gold and World Championship team of Mark Reynolds representing SDYC, with CYC member Hal Haenel as crew, had the best read of Sunday’s conditions, delivering a 2-4-1 record that vaulted them into 2nd overall. “Jim Buckingham and Craig Moss from Newport Harbor Yacht Club delivered a strong final race to hold onto third place over Alejandro Bugacov and crew Joaquin Gutierrez from California Yacht Club,” the recap continued. The King of Spain perpetual trophy was acquired from the Spanish monarchy in 1929 and designed to promote Eight Meter racing on the West Coast. It was re-dedicated to California YC by Owen Churchill, who won the trophy several times for his multiple Eight Meter victories. Alfonso VIII was the King of Spain from his birth until 1931. The SpanishAmerican War, which eventually resulted in Spain losing colonial rule over Cuba, Guam, the Philippines and Puerto Rico, was fought during his regency. Those participating in the King of Spain Regatta are permitted to use the California YC facilities during the event. Complimentary refreshments will be available throughout the race. The club’s docks are also available to competitors beginning Aug. 8; teams competing in both the King of Spain Regatta and 2018 Star North American Championship are permitted to use California YC’s dock space through Aug. 22. Contact Regatta Chair Marylyn Hoenemeyer at 2018kingofspain@ gmail.com or at 310-472-3577 for more information. Questions can also be directed to Evan Davis at evan.davis@ calyachtclub.net or at 310.823.4567. Information about trailer storage or dock space should be directed to club’s dockmaster.

A Heart-Worthy Barracuda
fishrap.com
Sophia, 10, is definitely too young to have been around when the Canadian rock band Heart dominated the Billboard 200. The barracuda she caught, however, is certainly worthy of its own billboard moment. Sophia caught this barracuda on June 3; it’s a personal-best 7.5 pounds. (She also caught a 5.25-pound barracuda.) “Both were taken in the IB Flats area late morning on the troll, blind strikes, and they hit blue Rapalas,” her dad, who submitted this photo, said.
Southern California fishing news
Study: Annual fishing license system could boost revenues
SACRAMENTO — A published study says California’s current calendar year based fishing license scheme is “economically unsustainable” and a pair of bills in Sacramento pushing for a 12-month licensing program “could be part of the solution.” The study, prepared by Southwick Associates for the California Sportfishing League (CSL), was published June 20 and makes the case for California to make 365-day fishing licenses the norm for the state’s anglers. All fishing licenses in California expire on Dec. 31, regardless of when it was purchased. An angler buying an annual license on Dec. 30 would pay the same fee as someone who purchased the same permit on Jan. 1. State Senators and Assembly members are currently considering bills - Senate Bill 518 and Assembly Bill 986 - to make 12-month fishing licenses available to California anglers. “Two bills under consideration (SB 518 and AB 986) would require the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) to offer licenses that expire 12 months from the date of purchase,” the Southwick Associates study stated. “These bills, along with other recommendations offered [in the report], will help improve California’s current license revenue situation.” Decline participation rates and the potential of inadequate conservation funding were cited as reasons why California should switch from a calendar to annual fishing license scheme. “Considering California’s declining license sales and revenue situation, current fisheries management efforts are not economically sustainable,” Southwick Associates researchers stated in their report. “To maintain adequate conservation funding, some level of changes [is] needed to the state’s license structure, pricing and/or marketing

San Diego Report
Offshore bluefin and yellowfin bites remain hot, while excellent yellowtail fishing continues at Los Coronado By Bob Vanian SAN DIEGO — As if on cue, the Fourth of July week brought some big numbers of yellowfin tuna into Southern California offshore waters. The Fourth of July week has traditionally been considered the time period when albacore arrive off the Southern California coast. That hasn’t happened in a few years, however. Anglers, meanwhile, are happily accepting yellowfin tuna as a substitute until schools of albacore once again pay us a visit. Other big bites out there for offshore anglers include bluefin tuna, yellowtail and a few dorado (found under some of the offshore kelp paddies). Productive areas on the offshore fishing grounds are currently the 371 Bank, 425 Bank, 302 Spot, 224 Spot, the Corner, the 43 Fathom Spot, the 182 Spot and the 9 Mile Bank. There are also tuna reported 4 to 8 miles off the coast between Mission Bay and La Jolla as well as between the 43 Fathom Spot and San Clemente Island. A few tuna are also just starting to show at some offshore areas that are a bit further north such as the 181 Spot and the Carlsbad Canyon. Some fish counts were posted on July 8 start with H&M Landing. Malihini had a full-day trip with 12 anglers and returned to shore with 60 bonito, 15 yellowtails, 7 yellowfin tuna and two bluefin tuna. Fisherman’s Landing had Condor return
home from a 1.5-day trip that fished on July 7and had 23 anglers catch four bluefin, eight yellowfin and six yellowtails. They also had Pacific Queen fishing on a weekend two-day trip with 32 anglers and returned with one opah, one yellowfin tuna, three bluefin tuna and 216 yellowtails. Seaforth Sportfishing had the six-pack charter yacht El Gato Dos fish a morning half-day trip with four anglers; they caught 12 yellowfin tuna. On their afternoon trip, they had three anglers catch four yellowfin tuna. Seaforth Sportfishing also had Prowler fishing an overnight trip with 34 anglers; they caught two yellowfin, five bluefin and 52 yellowtails. On July 7, Seaforth Sportfishing had New Seaforth out on an afternoon half-day trip with 36 anglers catching six bluefin tuna. Point Loma Sportfishing had update from New Lo-An having a 200-pound bluefin tuna on board and was still fishing. The fishing at Los Coronado Islands continues to be outstanding for a mix of yellowtail, bonito, barracuda and calico bass. Boats have been finding good action while fishing several areas with good recent reports coming from the area between the outside of the lower end of the 9 Mile Bank and North Island, Pukey Point at North Island, the area between North Island and the Flats outside of the Bull Ring, the Keyhole at the south tip of North Island, the Middle Grounds and the South Kelp Ridge.
It has been epic yellowtail fishing most days and the yellows have been located by finding meter marks, sonar marks and spots of fish under working birds. Trolling has been another good way to locate yellowtail with trolling strikes coming on Rapalas and on slow trolled sardines. Once located, yellowtails have been biting on flylined sardines and surface iron with sardines being the best. The yellows have been running from 6 to 25 pounds, with the majority of the fish in the 7- to 16-pound range. Fish counts from the fishing on July 8 start with Liberty out of Fisherman’s Landing that ran a full-day trip with 44 anglers who caught 129 yellowtails and 33 bonito. San Diego out of Seaforth Sportfishing ran a full-day trip with 42 anglers who caught 139 yellowtails and 15 bonito. Point Loma Sportfishing had Mission Belle fishing a full-day trip with 24 anglers who caught 108 yellowtails and 20 bonito. H&M Landing had Grande fishing a full-day trip with 38 anglers who caught 25 yellowtaisl, four bonito and two barracuda. H&M Landing also had Malihini fishing a full-day trip that fished offshore waters near Los Coronado Islands with 12 anglers catching their limits of 60 bonito, 15 yellowtails, seven yellowfin and two bluefin. The fishing along the San Diego County coast has been good for a mix of calico bass, sand bass, sculpin and rockfish. There have also been flurries of action on bonito and barracuda along with an occasional
bonus yellowtail, halibut or white sea bass. The best chance at bonito and legal sized barracuda has been from fishing spots of fish found under working tern birds. There has been barracuda action found in an area about 2 miles below the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma as well as around the International Reef just above the Mexico border. The best bonito bite area has been while fishing a short way above the Mexico border at the 9 Mile Bank. Kelp bed areas up and down the San Diego County coast have been very good for calico bass and have also been producing a few sand bass. Fishing the sandy bottom adjacent to hard bottom and structure spots has been best for a chance at a halibut. The summer fishing season is in full swing and there is excellent fishing to be found be it offshore at the Islands or along the coast. I hope you can get on the water and get in on the action. Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!

TIGHT LINES — By Parimal M. Rohit
Fishery management council appointments announced WASHINGTON, D.C. — A handful of regional fishery management councils – including the one responsible for California and the Pacific Coast – welcomed new appointment within the first week of summer. The 2018 Regional Fishery Management Council appointments were announced on June 27, with Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross confirming California’s Louis Zimm for the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC). Also appointed were: Andy Mezirow, Alaska, to North Pacific Fishery Management Council; Adam Nowalsky, New Jersey, and Anthony D. Dilernia, New York, to Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council; Art Sapp, Florida, and Spud Woodward, Georgia, to the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council; and, Jonathan Dugas, Louisiana, and Dale Diaz, Mississippi, to Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council. The American Sportfishing Association, or ASA, put out a statement about Ross’s appointments and praised his confirmation of Zimm. “Zimm has been a prominent member of the Southern California charter boat fleet for many years. This important region and
sector would not otherwise be represented on the council,” the ASA statement said.“Capt. Zimm is well versed with the Pacific Council, serving for several years as an appointed member of the important Groundfish Advisory Subpanel. In that role, he has served with distinction, working constructively with all stakeholders and interest groups. “Capt. Zimm’s extensive experience with the council, longstanding participation in Southern California fisheries, and broad knowledge of California’s marine resources makes him an ideal member of the state’s delegation,” the statement continued. PFMC was established by the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 and is one of eight regional boards of its type nationwide. The council covers more than 317,000 square miles off the coast of California, Oregon and Washington and manages fisheries of 119 different species (including anchovies, groundfish, mackerel, salmon sardines, sharks, swordfish and tunas). The council also consists of 14 voting representatives and 16 staff members. More information about PFMC, including upcoming meeting dates, can be found online at pcouncil.org.

Yellowtail was also a hot bite for anglers aboard Red Rooster III out of San Diego. Sculpin, meanwhile, was the bite of the day for an angler scouring the Central California coast aboard Phenix. Anglers aboard Stardust in nearby Santa Barbara had their pick of lingcod. Photos: Dana Wharf Sportfishing, Red Rooster III, Phenix and Stardust

The way California manages its marine ecosystem is expected to be enhanced now that the 2018 Master Plan for Fisheries: A Guide for Implementation of the Marine Life Management Act, was formally adopted by the Department of Fish and Wildlife.
California’s Fish and Game Commission updates 2018 Master Plan for Fisheries Strategy calls for use of best available science and integration of MPAs with fisheries management. By Parimal M. Rohit SACRAMENTO — The 2018 Master Plan for Fisheries: A Guide for Implementation of the Marine Life Management Act was formally adopted on June 20, thanks to the California Fish and Game Commission’s unanimous vote. Revising the Marine Life Management Act (MLMA) with this master plan allows California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) to update how the state manages its marine ecosystem. The master plan specifically calls for the use of best available science, requires certain stock sustainability and ecosystem objectives to be met and would integrate Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) into fisheries management. The updated master plan would also allow for the engagement of stakeholders, partner collaborations, advancement of socioeconomic and community objectives, and continued planning for climate change adaptation. DFW staff and other state officials would specifically address a few major efforts and objectives in hopes of sustaining fisheries and maintaining California’s diverse ecosystem. Certain marine life species, for example, would be prioritized for management action. The risks fishing imposes upon certain stocks and the ecosystem would also be assessed. New tools would be made available to DFW staff and state officials to identify and manage the sustainability of certain fish stocks. MPAs and climate change adaptation would also be a priority under the 2018 Master Plan and MLMA implementation guidance.
“Integration of the MPA network into fisheries management is expected to provide significant benefits to fisheries and resources alike,” the adopted master plan document stated. “The effects of climate change can pose challenges to fisheries management and underscore the need for adaptive and responsive management that can adjust to changing species distribution and abundance, habitat alteration, and impacts to port infrastructure,” the 2018 Master Plan document continued. “Targeted research, consideration of multiple indicators, and collaborations with stakeholders can help make management better able to adapt to these shifts,” the entry on climate change added. “Climate change considerations factor into species prioritization, scaled management, identification of appropriate management strategies, adaptive management structures, and understanding the effects of management on fishery economics and communities.” Implementation the MLMA’s goals ultimately focuses conservation of marine ecosystem health, the effects of various activities on habitats and bycatch species, and managing fisheries. “The MLMA also emphasizes the importance of conserving the health of marine ecosystems … and specifically, the need to consider impacts to habitat and bycatch species when prioritizing and managing fisheries,” the 2018 Master Plan document stated. “The Master Plan provides a step-wise approach to considering and addressing these issues.” The Marine Life Management Act, according to the 2018 Master Plan, “is California’s primary fisheries management law” and “direct the California Department of Fish and Wildlife … to develop a Master Plan to guide its implementation.” Commissioners approved the master plan document during their June meetings in Sacramento.

SALTWATER OCEAN FISHING REPORT By Terrence Berg 976-TUNA.com SAN DIEGO OFFSHORE UPDATE: The big news is big bluefin tuna continue to show in very good number for the overnight and long trips running out of San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles based boats and targeting a long swath of fish starting just south of San Clemente Island and spread south for 100 or more miles. These fish range from 30 pounds on the small end to more than 150 pounds on the upper end, with most of the fish returning to the docks in the 60- to 80-pound range. Pacific Queen out of Fisherman’s Landing reported in early on July 4th on its 1.5-day trip with 10 bluefin tuna on the deck, including one jumbo fish at 180 pounds. Most were 60 to 80 pounds. The July 2 trip was an overnight trip with 34 anglers and landed seven of the big bluefin and six yellowtails. Condor, also out of Fisherman’s Landing, had just eight anglers on its July 3 1.5-day trip and landed six big bluefin and two yellowtails. New Lo-An out of Point Loma Sportfishing had 25 anglers on its 1.5-day trip that returned the Fourth of July and landed 10 yellowfin to 60 pounds and lost several bigger fish. Aztec out of Seaforth Sportfishing had 22 anglers on an overnight trip and landed seven bluefin tuna and one yellowfin. Toronado out of Pierpoint Landing in Long Beach had 24 anglers on a 1.5-day trip on July 4 and landed six of the bigger bluefin in the 60-pound range.
The yellowfin tuna have started showing in better numbers this past week within overnight boat range of San Diego, and there was even a dorado reported this week. Tomahawk out of Seaforth Sportfshing had 26 anglers on a 2.5-day trip running south into Mexican waters and caught two bigger bluefin along with 58 yellowfin tuna and 62 yellowtails. Ocean Odyssey returned to H&M Landing on July 3 from a two-day 976-Tuna instructional charter and the 28 anglers on board landed six bluefin July 2 and then headed south and landed 43 yellowfin tuna, 43 yellowtail, and one bonito to finish out the trip. Constitution, also out of H&M, was south on a 2.5-day trip that returned July 2, and the 22 anglers on board landed four bluefin, 60 yellowtails, one dorado, and one bonito. CORONADO ISLAND YELLOWTAIL STILL HOT: The yellowtail bite at the Coronado Islands has continued to be excellent over the past week, with some boats still scoring limits and most boats averaging at least two or three fish per rod. These are all 8- to 12-pound class fish with a few bigger and very few smaller. On the Fourth of July, Grande out of H&M Landing had 36 anglers on its full-day trip to the Coronados and had limits of 180 yellowtails, 20 bonito, seven barracuda, and two rockfish. The July 3rd trip with 38 anglers also returned with limits of 190 yellowtails and five bonito. San Diego out of Seaforth Sportfishing had 26 anglers on its July 4 full-day trip and landed 130 yellowtails and 10 calico bass. Mission Belle out of Point Loma Sportfishing had been running full-day trips to the Coronados; the July 3 trip had 40 anglers had
had 160 yellowtails, five bonito, and five calico bass. Liberty out of Fisherman’s Landing had 48 anglers on its July 3 full-day trip and landed 202 yellowtails, seven bonito, six calicos, and four barracuda. LOS ANGELES-ORANGE COUNTY UPDATE: While a few yellowtail and white sea bass continue to show from the waters around both Catalina and San Clemente islands, the primary bite has been for the three Bs of summer –bass, bonito, and barracuda. The near-shore boats are seeing a nice mix of the three Bs, a few yellowtail, and continued very good bottom fish action. Pursuit was on a full-day island trip out of 22nd Street Landing on July 3, the 54 anglers on that trip caught 13 yellowtails, 81 keeper calicos, 40 perch, 22 barracuda, 20 bonito, and five sheephead. Freedom, also 22nd Street, ran a 1.5-day trip on July 4, and the 21 anglers on that trip had limits of 105 calico bass, 12 sheephead, seven rockfish, and four barracuda. New Del Mar had 76 anglers on a Fourth of July half-day trip and caught two bonus yellowtails along with 240 whitefish, 232 sculpin, 53 assorted rockfish, a sheephead, and a halibut. OXNARD TO SANTA BARBARA UPDATE: There continues to be a pretty decent pick on both white sea bass and yellowtail in the northern Channel Islands for Oxnard to Santa Barbara boats running three-quarter day to overnight trips. These species join decent picks on calico bass, bonito, and increasing numbers of barracuda. Those all join the excellent rockfish bite. At Channel Islands Sportfishing in Oxnard, Aloha Spirit had 22 anglers on a full-day trip and
landed three yellowtails, eight calico bass, eight sand bass, five whitefish, and five rockfish. Pacific Islander was on an overnight trip for the Fourth, and the 30 anglers on board managed to get six white sea bass, 300 assort rockfish (limits), 153 whitefish, 26 barracuda, eight lingcod, and one sheephead.
