Which is Faster? Climate Change or Salmon?

By: LOG STAFF

A new study published on May 1 by Nature Climate Change, a study that is the largest of its kind, has found that salmon migration timing is changing in unexpected ways as a response to climate change. Dr. Eric Ward of NOAA Fisheries’ Northwest Fisheries Science Center was part of a team of more than 50 scientists from government and community organizations across North America who analyzed data from 66 salmon populations over a 70-year span.

“This is the longest, most detailed dataset of its kind and offers a pretty unique picture into the potential response of climate change across salmon species,” said Ward in a news release from the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration.

The study uncovered that many salmon species have a migration timing that has substantially changed over the last 20 years. Pink and chum salmon had the fastest rate of change, migrating seven days sooner than before. Other species’ average migration timing was unchanged. However, after further studying the data, researchers found a more signifi-

cant variation between populations within species than between different salmon species. These population-specific changes were unpredictable with currently available climate and geographic data.

“We were surprised to find that the changes in migration timing were so variable,” said the study’s lead author, Dr. Sam Wilson of Simon Fraser University. “We expected to see a more consistent response to climate change.”

It was found that due to the same level of warming, some populations had an earlier migration while others had no change or even migrated later in the year.

Concerningly, salmon appear not to respond to changes in the coastal ocean, making mismatches more common under future climate change.

An important takeaway from the study is the significance of protecting salmon

habitats and ensuring that salmon have access to food. While climate change continues altering ecosystems, study author Dr. Jonathan Moore believes that predicting the species and populations that are most vulnerable and prioritizing their ecosystems is essential.

“Climate change is here, and it is

changing salmon and their ecosystems,” said Moore. “Many of these changes are going to be unpredictable, which calls for protecting both salmon biodiversity and their habitats.”

FAST FACTS

The Value of a Baby Eel

By: LOG STAFF

PORTLAND, ME — Baby eels, called elvers, are harvested so they can be used as seed stock by Asian aquaculture companies and are worth more than $2,000 per pound, making them one of the most valuable fish species in the United States. The fishing season for elvers runs from March 22 through June 7. However, the fishery may be closed earlier if Maine’s quota, established by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC), has been fulfilled. The eels are raised to maturity and then used in Japanese food sold in U.S. sushi restaurants in dishes like unagi. Unagi, the Japanese word for freshwater eel, is an elongated fatty fish, rich and bold in flavor.

According to the Maine Department of Marina Resources, the worth of the elvers has once again reached $2,000 per pound when they hit the docks for sale, and fishermen are being limited to 10,000 pounds per year. While the price per pound of the elvers fluctuates, this year it was only slighter cheaper than last year but higher than the previous two years.

The weather has been kind to fishermen this year as they search for the eels, and international demand has kept the fisher-

men in a thriving industry. Due to the withering international foreign sources for the elvers, Maine’s eel sources have become increasingly valuable in recent years.

Other than Maine, South Carolina is the only other state in the country with a fishing industry for baby eels, and even then, that state’s inventory is much smaller.

Maine fishermen harvest the elvers in the spring using nets in rivers and streams. Some fishermen target more rural locations, while others harvest in cities like Portland and Bangor. The eels are also harvested by Native American tribes in the state.

Due to the value of the fish, the worldwide industry has faced the threat of poaching for many years. In recent years, Maine adopted new controls to avert illegal elver fishing and

dealing throughout the state. In addition, federal law enforcement has also targeted illegal eel selling and fishing. But unfortunately, some efforts are bypassed, and illegal dealing still occurs.

A study published earlier this year led by a research team from the University of Exeter discovered that nearly two-fifths of the North American unagi samples that were tested contained European eels, which are banned from importing or exporting.

“Iditarod on a Boat” Race to Alaska returns June 5

PORT TOWNSEND, WA — Race to Alaska is back for year seven, with 39 teams registered to depart from the Northwest Maritime Center on June 5. No motors or support allowed—the Race to Alaska (R2AK) is about the physical endurance, saltwater know-how, and bulldog tenacity it takes to navigate the 750 cold water miles from Port Townsend, Washington, to Ketchikan, Alaska.

First place wins $10K; second place, a set of actual steak knives. Teams embark on Stage 1, “The Proving Ground,” from Port Townsend, WA, on June 5 at 5:00 a.m.; they have 36 hours to cross the Strait of Juan de Fuca and visit Victoria, BC. June 8 at noon marks the start of Stage 2, “To the Bitter End,” the 710-mile trek from Victoria to Alaska.

This year’s racers include recreational boaters to world-class professional ocean sailors, including a former Rolex Yachtsman of the Year; vessels range from home-built rowing boats to brand-new, purpose-built racing sleds. Human-powered teams in kayaks and rowboats will be jockeying for position with go-fast boats, solo racers, and even those attempting to drag the equivalent of engineless houseboats up the Inside Passage.

“For some, Race to Alaska is about getting the cash,” said Race Boss Jesse Weigel. “But for the majority, whether they end up with a broken boat on a beach or basking in the afterglow in Ketchikan - it’s all about what happens between the start and the end.”

The 2022 removal of one of only two waypoints between Victoria and Ketchikan, Seymour Narrows, gives racers the choice of going up the inside of Vancouver Island or going out of the Strait of Juan de Fuca into the Pacific Ocean—opening up different possibilities as teams endeavor to solve the R2AK puzzle.

The public is invited to come to the Northwest Maritime Center on June 4 to meet the teams and celebrate their impending adventure at the Ruckus—a free block party—and again for the race start at 5 a.m. on June 5 to cheer on the teams, and they embark on Stage 1.

SkipperScience Partnership Launches Nushagak King Salmon Mapping Project with Bristol Bay Fishermen for the 2023 Season

This summer, boat captains and crews work with BBRSDA, fishery managers, and scientists to document king salmon migration patterns.

Partnership, Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association (BBRSDA), and the University of Washington are expanding on the groundbreaking SkipperScience citizen science program to help fishery managers and researchers better understand migration patterns of Nushagak River Chinook salmon across both time and space. The program could improve understanding of Chinook salmon escapement by identifying and protecting Chinook migration corridors and help sockeye salmon fishermen with the potential of an earlier opening to the season.

One of Skipper Science’s essential tools is a smartphone app and community-owned database allowing fishermen to log observations from the fishing grounds in real-time.

“Skipper Science is a valuable resource for researchers, managers, and policy-makers. Fishermen participating in the Skipper Science Partnership have demonstrated their ability to translate observations into quality data through the app and dialogues with managers. We are thrilled to be working on projects like the Nushagak King Salmon Mapping Project that shows how the program is working directly with fisheries managers and the scientific community to meaningfully incorporate fishermen’s data and observations into their decision-making.” said Hannah-Marie Garcia, Skipper Science Program Coordinator who works for the Aleut Community of St. Paul Island.

“As a Bristol Bay fisherman impacted by fishing closures due to recent low Chinook returns on the Nushagak, I am proud and grateful to be able to lend a meaningful hand to our fisheries managers as we work together as a Bristol Bay community to allow for as much commercial fishing activity as possible while protecting Chinook returns. SkipperScience gives us a tool to do just that, and I hope that fellow fishermen will join me in rolling up our sleeves and lending a hand here so that we can all come out the other side of this with plentiful Chinook escapement up the Nush and abundant early June fishing time as well,” said Michael Jackson, Bristol Bay fisherman, and BBRSDA board member. The Nushagak King Mapping Project gives Fishermen a chance to be part of the solution, and to put their expertise to work.”

“Conservation of king salmon in the Nushagak district during the (predominantly) sockeye fishery is a key issue in the spotlight after several years of extremely strong sockeye runs and relatively weak king returns. A better understanding of the spatial distribution of kings in the Nushagak district and how that might change across the season is critical. The existing Skipper Science app is a perfect platform for the fleet to provide catch rate data that can enable managers in future years to make decisions on when and where commercial fishing can open while still allowing for adequate Chinook escapement,” said Curry Cunningham, an Assistant Professor with the University of Alaska Fairbanks College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences.

LEGAL ADVICE

ask a maritime attorney

WRITE TO: P.O. Box 1337 Newport Beach, CA 92659 (949) 660-6150 (800) 873-7327

QUESTION:

I was in a very small accident in the waters adjacent to my marina in early 2021. The other boat alleged that my boat had nicked his swim step. My insurance company paid him for the repair, and I thought the matter had concluded. I was wrong. A year later the owner of the boat hired a law firm to allege that he was injured, and he threatened to sue me. There has been no movement on the lawsuit, and I sold the boat earlier this year. I am reaching out to you now because I received a letter from the law firm last week, advising that the owner of the other boat somehow managed to get a lien on my old boat. I have no interest in the boat at all, and even if I did there is no judgement against me. Does Maritime law allow a boat to be “arrested” when I no longer own the boat and when there is no money owed?

ANSWER: Our reader has a few different issues on the table. Let’s start with the most basic: She should immediately forward the attorney’s letter to her insurance agent or broker. The policy that covered the property damage claim will also cover the injury claim. The fact that the injury claim may be frivolous doesn’t matter. Even if it is frivolous, it will cost her thousands of dollars to prove her position to a judge, and she won’t be able to recover those costs associated with that defense. I cannot say this strongly enough to anyone in this position- - Work with your insurance company. This is why you have liability coverage with your boat policy.

The “lien” is a separate issue altogether, but before we get into this, we need to distinguish between a “lien” and a “Notice of Claim of Lien.” A lien is a financial security device that provides collateral to secure payment of an obligation. Different types of liens may arise from different types of claims, and they may have different requirements for enforcement. A maritime lien, for example, may be enforced by filing a lawsuit in Federal Court without recording anything with the Coast Guard. Conversely, as the name of the document suggests, a “Notice of Claim of Lien” (a “NCL”) is just that –a NOTICE that somebody has a claim. Basically, they claim to have a lien, but it cannot be conclusively determined until it is litigat-

DOG ABOARD

ed. The instrument that is recorded with the Coast Guard is a “Notice of Claim of Lien,” not a “lien.”

Under most circumstances, the filing and recording of a NCL with the Coast Guard has absolutely no legal effect. In our reader’s case, they did not “somehow manage to get a lien” as she suggests in her inquiry. The owner of the other boat (or their attorney) simply filled out some paperwork and sent it to the Coast Guard for recording. The Coast Guard takes no position as to whether a recorded NCL is filed in support of a valid lien. They accept everything for recording as long as it includes a statement from the claimant that it is being filed in good faith and the claimant’s signature is notarized.

A NCL has no legal effect, but it does have a practical effect - - - it “clouds” the title. The recorded NCL may have no legal effect, but a prospective lender or buyer of the boat will not want to deal with it. So, it does make it harder to sell the boat or get a mortgage.

Unfortunately, there is another side to this. It is true that the recording of a NCL has no legal effect. But a claimant may still have a valid lien, regardless of whether anything has been filed with the Coast Guard. When our reader asked about the boat being “arrested,” she was referring to the most common method for enforcing a maritime lien. As noted above, it requires the filing of a lawsuit in Federal Court and the issuance of a warrant for the “civil arrest” of the vessel. The U.S. Marshals execute the warrant by taking the boat into custody. The boat is then held by a commercial custodian while the lawsuit moves forward like any Federal Court lawsuit.

In a lien foreclosure lawsuit, the boat may be seized (“arrested”) without filing anything with the Coast Guard, as long as

the person with the claim states facts under penalty of perjury that would, if proven in court, give rise to a valid lien. Filing and recording a Notice of Claim of Lien with the Coast Guard is not a prerequisite to arresting a boat. In fact, most vessel arrests proceed without recording an NCL. The arresting party prefers a “sneak attack”, so the boat does not escape in the middle of the night.

Our reader’s question about whether maritime law allows a boat to be arrested when no money is owed is not really asked in the right way. A vessel arrest is conducted at the beginning of a lawsuit that is filed in Federal Court. The purpose of the arrest is to secure the boat as collateral before the lawsuit is initiated. The plaintiff in the lawsuit will claim that he or she is owed money, but we don’t really know how much is owed at that time, and we won’t know until the end of the lawsuit. If a court decides that no money is owed, the boat will be returned to the boat owners, and they may be able to recover some of their costs.

Finally, a maritime lien will travel with the boat after it is sold, even if the seller or buyer had no knowledge of the claim. Most yacht purchase agreements include language requiring the seller to indemnify the buyer against any claims that arose prior to the sale of the boat. Our reader will therefore probably be responsible for the defense of this claim, even though she no longer owns the boat.

This is one of those cases where I emphasize the importance of qualified legal representation. This is a complicated legal minefield that warrants the hiring of an experienced maritime attorney. But as noted at the top of this article, your first call in a case like this should be to your insurance broker or agent.

The Aquarium of the Pacific Celebrates 25 Years and Honors Southern California

The Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach is turning 25 this year and its birthday theme is connecting guests to the habitats and ecosystems of Southern California.

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

LONG BEACH —The Aquarium of the Pacific opened its doors in 1998 and has since been connecting millions of people to the wonders of our ocean planet. This year the Aquarium is celebrating its 25th anniversary with new programming, events, exhibits, and a new podcast called “Aquarium of the Podcific,” all highlighting Southern California and the efforts we can make to restore and conserve it. The underwater exhibit, scheduled to open July 1, features habitats from kelp forests to deep-sea reefs portrayed from a diver›s perspective. The exhibits will also feature native species such as the twospot octopus, sharks, scorpionfish, eels, and pipefish.

Going hand-in-hand with the Southern California highlight, the Aquarium’s 2023 theme is “connecting to nature.” The Aquarium is finding new ways to connect the public to nature to conserve, restore, and protect the ocean world and its association with the land.

The Aquarium’s Vice President of Education and Conservation, Jennie Dean, explained what we could do to help connect with nature and care for it. Efforts include:

• Carbon footprint: you can reduce your carbon footprint by walking, biking, carpooling, or using public transportation; composting your food waste; and making your home energy efficient.

• Enjoy at a Distance: when visiting marine habitats, tread carefully, and never remove an animal. Next time you’re walking the wetlands, remember to try your best not to leave a trace.

• Debris Cleanups: Improve your community and contribute to a cleaner ocean by participating in community trash cleanups. For those seeking a group to become involved with, the Aquarium of the Pacific invites you to join its watershed cleanup program, T.R.A.S.H.—Taking Responsibility And Saving Habitats.

• Spotting Giant Sea Bass: If you see a giant sea bass while exploring waters off California, snap a photo of its side and upload it to the Spotting Giant Sea Bass website. The spots of the giant sea bass are unique to the individual fish, so the database of photos allows researchers to track the population. The Aquarium is a partner in this community science program

to help increase knowledge to aid in conserving this endangered species. • Other suggested efforts include habitat restoration and volunteering.

The new Southern California exhibits will feature Sterling, the octopus. This small octopus figurine will change tanks day-to-day to encourage guests to take a closer look and observe the SoCal habitats up close. From Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, the first person to spot the sculpture of this mas-

ter of disguise hidden in an exhibit each day will receive a limited-edition commemorative pin. Just snap a photo of Sterling on your phone and upload it to your social media. Then, show it to the staff at the Member Services desk near the Aquarium entrance. If you are the first person to find it that day, you will receive the commemorative pin prize.

The Aquarium of the Pacific is Southern California’s largest Aquarium and was created to conserve nature while fa-

cilitating the need for respect for the Pacific Ocean and its ecosystems.

June Planning for Southerlies

By: CAPT. PAT RAINS

June is a good time to think ahead. Airplane pilots always keep in mind, “Where, in case of emergency, is the nearest safe place to land?” Likewise boaters traveling in Mexican waters in June should stay conscious of all the safe places to land – well, drop the hook or grab a slip.

Wherever we’re planning to be underway down here over the summer months, we probably know that some degree of southerly weather is coming our way. Hopefully they’re gentle southerly breezes that refresh all the lovely little anchorages scattered around the Sea of Cortez. Or they might be hurricane furies roaring up from the tropics.

Whichever end of the wind scale, we can expect some level of south wind and its equivalent wave action.

OUTSIDE OF BAJA

This issue, let’s look at what anchoring shelter might be available on the outside of Baja, south to north, because no slips are found between Los Cabos and Ensenada. NOAA predicted that El Nino is returning this month. Some boats are heading north in June anyway, toward their U.S. home ports or just to cooler latitudes – like Alaska.

M agdalena Bay: Two hilly barrier islands, Isla Santa Margaritas and Isla Magdalena, shield the 35-mile long inte-

rior of this bay. Four places to think about are (1.) Puerto Magdalena, better known as Man of War Cove, (2.) the north side of low Belcher’s Point four miles north of Mag Bay’s entrance, and (3.) Puerto Cortes, the Mexican Marine’s dock and anchorage area that’s located 13.5 n.m. down from the entrance. It has lighted range markers on the hills in case you need them.

For shallow-draft vessels only, (4.) the narrow, twisty Soledad Channel runs for 35 miles in the sheltered lee close east of Isla Magdalena’s north end. Lined by mangroves and sand dunes, the 4’ to 10’ deep channel meanders from Puerto San Carlos up to Lopez Mateos fishing village and pops out through Boca de Soledad 30 n.m. north of Punta San Lazaro. Pick a private spot a couple miles from either town to keep cell phone service.

Turtle Bay: The south half of this 4-mile long bay is shielded by the Punta Tortola peninsula and a string of four tall rocks running NNW. Unfortunately, the bay’s very south end (El Rincon) is very shoal, less than five feet for two miles off the beach, also heavily mined with aquaculture gear. So anywhere east of Roca Entrada and lighted Roca Ataud gives us

the best possible south-storm protection but still in 15’ to 30’ of water.

Keep in mind that Mag Bay and to a lesser extent Turtle Bay have gotten smacked by later season tropical storms. They are definitely not hurricane holes.

Cedros Island: On the island’s southeast side, Cedros Town’ municipal harbor is enclosed by beefy breakwaters, leaving a 350’ wide entrance opening to the southeast. The far southwest corner would give best shelter, of course, but it is shoal about 450’ out from the gently sloping beach. So one either anchors in 15’ to 25’ in the middle of the harbor, or rafts alongside one of the 100’ steel shrimp boats that are bound to have previously secured themselves to the big concrete cargo platform on the harbor’s northeast sea wall. Or one could always anchor outside, just due north of the bend in the harbor’s northeast sea wall.

S an Quintin Bay: The huge outer anchorage is wide open to south conditions, but for shallow-draft vessels, there’s a natural channel leading inside the enclosed bay that has charted depths of 14’ or more for 6.5 n.m. – except for one 5.2’ spot on the west side, and of course that’s

Soledad Channel: Shallow-draft vessels can find south-wind shelter by navigating the narrow, twisty Soledad Channel that runs 35 n.m. behind the north end of Isla Magdalena.

right outside the entrance.

The wise move is to hire a local panguero to lead you inside, at least just past t he 5.2 spot. Good shelter can then be reached only three miles in, to anchor off the north side of the broad sandbar called Punta Azufre. Tourist pangas zoom in and out from the popular Old Mill fishing resort.

Isla San Martin: If the outer bands of a hurricane have chased you this far north, a small sandspit juts .3 n.m. off the southeast side of Isla San Martin, forming a rustic fishing anchorage (20’ to 30’ over gravel). Called Hassler’s Cove, this spot has provided shelter from the big seas whipped up by stiff south winds. However, the curving rocky sandspit is only about 10’ tall and already shows a couple low spots from previous storms.

From sea level, this volcanic island looks like a Chinese coolie hat with a low spreading brim and thin pointy top. So, not much shelter is gained from the island itself. If aquaculture gear takes up t oo much of Hassler’s Cove, it might be better to press on the welcoming shelter of Ensenada harbor.

Next time, let’s look inside the Sea of Cortez the season’s best, most pleasant south-wind anchorages.

Turtle Bay: South-wind shelter can be found in Turtle Bay, but El Rincon is shallow and sometimes filled with aquaculture gear.

Belchers: Belcher’s Point in Mag Bay once held a whaling station, then a fish processing plant. Now it provides shelter from south wind for recreational boaters and fishermen.

ShoreMaster is Prepping Boaters as Boating Season Approaches

this, but not grease, so that moisture doesn’t get trapped in the cable strands,” said Heikes. “And speaking of water, it’s best to avoid leaving lift cables in water for long periods: keep your lift raised out of the water when it’s not in use to prevent it from wearing out. Finally, check for rust spots, fraying, and other signs of damage to know when it’s time to replace your cables.”

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

It’s that time of the year when the offseason ends for boaters, and for those who will be hitting the lake this season, it’s essential to make sure your dock, lift, and boat are prepped and in stable condition to handle all your water activities.

S horeMaster, a Minnesota-based company, provides boaters with quality waterfront products and has maintenance and inspection recommendations f or them to consider before launching into the boating season.

ShoreMaster offers bottom-standing aluminum boat lifts (or hoists) and docks with a capacity range from 1,200 PWC Lifts to 12,500 Hydraulic Lifts. Of course, the most popular model is our ShoreMaster DVS Vertical Lift. Their docks (or piers) are also bottom-standing aluminum docks used primarily on r ivers and lakes, with the most popular model being the Infinity RS4, which offers a high standard of quality and aesthetics along with good versatility and easy ownership.

“Yearly inspections for your dock and lift are important to maintain the quality of your product,” said Kelli Heikes, M arketing Manager for ShoreMaster. “Visually inspect your dock and boat lift as often as possible to ensure nothing is amiss and take care of any small problems you see before they become much larger ones.”

For boat lifts, ShoreMaster recommends checking your cables and oiling any spots that may be noisy. Boat lift cables are typically made of steel and must be oiled regularly to prevent rust.

“Use penetrating oil or cable fluid for

While consequences for not maintaining a dock are minimal, as long as you install and remove it properly, it should last you and your family a long time. However, not maintaining a boatlift is a different story. Neglecting to inspect for cable damage could run the risk of a cable breaking and dropping your watercraft into the water. If this is your cabin or second home, you might not know your craft is in the water until much later. Cables are easy to replace and often a service that the dealer offers, so it’s simple to take care of but important.

These inspections and maintenance are not just for personal docks and lifts. Depending on the harbor and marinas’ rules and guidelines, they also apply to harbors and marinas. According to ShoreMaster, most often, it is the boater’s responsibility to tell the marina or h arbor that their cable needs to be replaced, and then the service masters can take care of that.

ShoreMaster’s humble beginning started in Carlos, MN, by Dennis Tuel, Sr., who created a lift that was easier to install and built to last longer. A lift that helped waterfront owners make the most of their time on the water. This is still ShoreMaster’s mission today: to make the most of your waterfront. Attention to every detail, every component, and superior welded craftsmanship are what make ShoreMaster systems the envy of the lake. Today, ShoreMaster is located in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, and is sold around the United States by our authorized dealers.

ShoreMaster’s products are limited to our authorized dealers around the United States. If you are searching for your local ShoreMaster dealer, please visit https:// www.shoremaster.com/find-a-dealer/.

Before boating season kicks off, ShoreMaster is encouraging boaters to inspect their dock, lift, and boat to ensure a safe season with some helpful advice.

June 18 is National Go Fishing Day!

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

Mark your calendars because the annual National Go Fishing Day is June 18! As a nod to the ancestors that didn’t fish for recreational activity but rather to provide a source of food for their people, grab your rod and reel and switch up your daily routine on this day and celebrate National Go Fishing Day.

In addition to being a long-standing practice providing fun and food, recreational fishing is a pastime for many. The sport has been revised since prehistoric

Female Anglers Bring Significant Revenue Opportunities to the Fishing Industry

Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation and Southwick Associates found that increasing women’s participation in fishing can provide an additional $1 billion in revenue to the sportfishing industry.

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

ALEXANDRIA, VA — On May 18, the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation (RBFF), a non-profit, hyped the idea that female anglers pose a significant revenue opportunity for the fishing industry, according to new research conducted by RBFF and Southwick Associates, a fishing and wildlife consultant.

The research was conducted to learn more about the financial impact of increasing female angler participation, and results found a 10 percent increase in women’s involvement in fishing, insinuating that this increase could provide an additional $1.0 billion in revenue for the sportfishing industry. This means each additional female participant is worth nearly $1,000 in annual income for the industry.

“We know through research that recruiting and retaining female anglers is critical to growing fishing and boating participation overall,” said RBFF President and CEO Dave Chanda in the May 18 press release. “The bottom line is, increasing female fishing participation is also good for business, and the industry stands to benefit greatly from focusing more on this growing audience.”

The research shows an opportunity to focus efforts geographically:

• Women in the South and Midwest regions spent around $3.5 billion each (over $7 billion total) on fishing.

• In the Midwest, female anglers spent an average of $1,106 annually.

• In the South, female anglers spent an annual average of $796 per person.

Additional findings:

• Despite the solid female angler representation in the Midwest, saltwater fishing has emerged as a driving force behind the financial stimulation female anglers bring to the industry. In 2021, female saltwater anglers spent more per capita than female freshwater anglers ($3.7 billion versus $6.6 billion).

• Women spent more on special equipment, including vehicles, boats, and real estate, and more on saltwater fishing than freshwater fishing (35 percent compared to 22 percent).

RBFF recently launched the research-backed, Take Me Fishing “Find Your Best Self on the Water” campaign to help women reel in the benefits of fishing and boating. Through rooted, extensive research, this integrated marketing program aims to create awareness of fishing and boating among diverse new audiences and motivate participation.

RBFF is a non-profit organization whose mission is to increase recreational angling and boating participation, thereby protecting and restoring the nation’s aquatic natural resources. To help recruit, retain, and reactivate participants, RBFF developed the award-winning Take Me Fishing™ campaign to build awareness of boating, fishing, and conservation and educate people about the benefits of participation.

The campaign’s website features howto-videos and an interactive state-bystate map that allows visitors to find local boating and fishing spots, helping boaters and anglers of all ages and experience levels learn, plan, and equip for a successful day on the water.

RBFF also offers its industry stakeholders many tools, including a Fishing License & Boat Registration Plugin to connect customers with the information they need in just one click and an embeddable Places to Fish & Boat Map to help customers discover places to fish and boat near them.

Yale’s Carmen Cowles Wins Women’s Sailor of the Year 2023

By: LOG STAFF

KINGS POINT, NY— Carmen Cowles ‘25 of Yale University was named 2023 Quantum Women’s Sailor of the Year. Established in 2003, the award is sponsored by Quantum Sails and awarded a nnually to the outstanding female collegiate sailor. The recognition followed t he College Sailing Women’s National Championship, where Cowles won A Division, and her team finished second overall.

In the first finals round on May 25, ten races took place for the A and B divisions, and fleets raced in conditions from 10 - 15 knots. As predicted, the breeze quieted throughout the day challenging sailors with staggering conditions. Unfortunately, the finals on May 26 were pa ired with low winds, preventing any racing. With that being that titles were rewarded based on the previous days’ results, and Stanford took home first.

Yale captured the Madeleine Cup after winning the A Division Semifinals through Tuesday and Wednesday’s r acing. The Bulldogs finished with 123 points, 56 in the A division and 67 in the B division.

Cowles was awarded the ICSA Quantum Women’s Sailor of the Year, becoming the third sailor in Yale women’s history to win the title. Cowles joined Morgan K iss (2015) and Jane Macky (2009) as fellow Bulldogs in the history books.

T he Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) made the following selections:

Controversy Arises After Sailing Coach is Fired

By: LOG STAFF

A Two-time Olympic sailor for Canada who joined the national sailing team’s coaching staff three years ago was fired only nine days after telling Sail Canada she was pregnant and intended to take maternity leave.

Now, Lisa Ross wants her job back. Ross was in Andora, Italy, in March of 2023, coaching Canadian sailors at the European championship when she was preparing to take off to Spain for her following competitions and training camps. Then, the 46-year-old said she partook in a video call on March 17 with Sail Canada’s CEO, Don Adams, and high-performance director, Mike Milner, when she was instructed to pack her bags and return to Canada following the news that she was terminated.

pressure.

Starting legal action to get my job back and speaking about this situation publicly are not decisions I made lightly. We need to have a conversation about women, mothers, and parents in high-performance sport.

L eaders and coaches should not have to choose between their role in Canadian sport or being a present and engaged parent. Family should not be seen as a limitation or a barrier to success. I have not sacrificed my pursuit of excellence because of my family.

I am a better coach because I am a mother – I have a broader perspective on my career, sport, and life. I am more purposeful in being value-driven in my coaching practice.

“It was strange and shocking,” said Ross in an interview with Th e Canadian Press . “ It was a five-minute phone call where I was fired, basically, without cause. I was in Europe. I was in the middle of a planned six-week trip.”

Sail Canada credits a lack of funding for the termination, not her pregnancy.

B elow is a statement issued by Lisa Ross on May 29:

“On March 8, I told Sail Canada that I was expecting my third child.

Nine days later, I was abruptly fired while working in Europe, halfway through a six-week training and competition block.

At the time I was the only female coach within the nine-member High Performance coaching staff, a group which had recently added two new male coaches.

Trophies will be awarded on the evening of June 18 to the top finishers in each class after all the races have concluded. For the complete Notice of Race, please

I have been involved in high-performance sport for over 20 years. During t hat time, the systemic under-representation of women in high performance c oaching has not changed. At the Rio Olympics (where I coached for Canada), only 20 [percent] of Canadian coaches were women. At the Tokyo Games, this number dropped to 16 [percent].

This lack of representation continues at the provincial, university and community levels. I believe that women should b e seen as leaders in every aspect of high-performance sport. Not just coaching other women, but leading organizations and teams, regardless of gender.

I believe we must make the Canadian Sport system better, so it truly becomes a healthy and inclusive environment for everyone and where we understand that humanity – including being a parent –does not limit performance and success but fosters it.

I want to thank everyone who has supported me so far. I’m looking forward to resolving this issue and getting back on the water doing what I love.”

CDFW Announces $20.4 Million in Grant Funding to Protect Salmon Habitat and Other California Fish and Wildlife Species Statewide

By: LOG STAFF

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) announced $20.4 million in awards on May 25 to 15 projects to improve salmon habitat and support climate resiliency, wildlife corridors, and wetlands restoration. This is the third round of grant awards made in 2023, with funding made available last year under Drought, Climate, and Nature-Based Solutions Initiatives, bringing the total grant funding awarded to nearly $80 million.

“As climate-driven challenges to California’s biodiversity continue to grow and shift, our own strategies for new projects must adapt,” CDFW Director Charlton H. Bonham said in the press release. “Saving salmon and rebuilding their populations for Californians is the goal, and we are meeting these challenges head-on.”

The CDFW has developed a single set of General Grant Program Guidelines to get restoration completed faster. In addition, the CDFW is continuing to accept applications for new projects and make awards on an ongoing basis. An overview of eligible project types, priorities, and information is available at www.wildlife. ca.gov/grants.

Projects awarded with Drought for Salmon Protection and Wildlife Corri-

dors funds will support the planning and implementation of projects to enhance habitat for salmon by removing barriers to fish passage, restoring flows, and providing critical habitat for juvenile rearing salmonids.

Within the CDFW’s Inland Desert Region, two new projects supported with Addressing Climate Impact funds will also focus on the effects of climate-driven weather whiplash on the arroyo toad and the desert salamander.

Throughout central and northern California, Wetlands and Mountain Meadows funds will support projects to restore and enhance floodplains, wetlands, and mountain meadows to benefit fish and wildlife species and their habitat. Work will include enhancing waterfowl habitat on Battle Creek in Shasta County.

View all projects awarded today online.

According to the CDFW, in the past 90 days, CDFW has awarded just under $80 million to 53 projects statewide from the $200 million in new initiatives made available this year. The CDFW has streamlined the processes for applying for funding, reviewing and finalizing awards, and getting agreements so projects can start without delays. Projects awarded in March and April of 2023 have agreements in place and are currently starting work.

CDFW’s Cutting the Green Tape Program has streamlined the grant process and continues to improve permitting and environmental review of restoration projects statewide.

• The First Slough Fish Passage, Floodplain Restoration, and Coastal Habitat Connectivity Project, awarded grant funds in this round, is moving forward with implementation with the support of a recent concurrence through CDFW’s Statutory Exemption for Restoration Projects process.

• The Bull Creek Hamilton Floodplain Restoration Project, awarded funding in this round, recently worked with the Cutting the Green Tape program to secure a streamlined Restoration Management Permit.

These two project efficiencies have saved an estimated $100,000 and countless hours, which can now be diverted to more restoration.

The pace and scale of the CDFW grant funding have also been led by sister agencies, including the Wildlife Conservation Board, who, in the first two months of 2023, awarded just under $70 million in block grants and another $59 million to

individual projects for the enhancement and protection of California biodiversity.

This grant funding supports critical initiatives, including conserving 30 percent of California’s lands and coastal waters by 2030 under California’s 30x30 initiative, Nature-Based Solutions, and increasing the pace and scale of restoration through Cutting Green Tape.

Once available, more information about these funding opportunities, including guidelines and how to apply, general information about CDFW’s grant programs, and a schedule for upcoming grant solicitations can be found at www. wildlife.ca.gov/grants.

IGFA Announces 2023 SoCal Open and New Tournament Format Changes

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — It’s official— the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) has recently announced that the 2023 IGFA SoCal Open will take place Sept. 29-Oct. 1 with weigh stations plotted in San Diego, Newport Beach, and Catalina Island. The two-day tournament is open to all anglers and will now offer a new format featuring five major offshore game fish.

The SoCal Open was previously a swordfish-only tournament, but this year, four new eligible species have entered the

hunt. The change reflects the diverse offshore fishery of Southern California and will include Bluefin tuna, striped marlin, dorado, and yellowtail.

“We’re thrilled to announce the new dates and a new, expanded format to the 2023 IGFA SoCal Open,” said IGFA President Jason Schratwieser in a statement from May 4. “We believe these changes not only reflect the diversity of Southern California’s offshore game fish but the passionate anglers who have cherished this resource for decades as the birthplace of big game sportfishing.”

Trophies and prizes will be award-

ed to the top three anglers and teams and the anglers who record the heaviest of the eligible species, excluding striped marlin, which will be judged on total release points. In addition, a new Junior Angler category has been added and will be based on total points, only eligible for anglers ages 16 and under.

The fishing days are Friday, Sept. 29, and Saturday, Sept. 30, and the awards

BLUEFIN TUNA BITE IS UP AND DOWN BUT THE SURFACE FISHING ALONG THE COAST AND AT LOS CORONADO ISLANDS IS PICKING UP!

By Bob Vanian of 976Bite.com

• Bluefin tuna continue to attract a lot of attention from Southern California anglers and the last few months have provided many days of good offshore fishing for both bluefin tuna and yellowtail. During that time bluefin have been found in offshore waters between Ensenada and San Clemente Island with the most recent good bite area being within 30 miles or so of Point Loma at some of the local offshore banks outside of Los Coronado Islands. The past couple of days have seen the bluefin action drop off to be just fair. The good news is that there are lots of bluefin still around and anglers are expecting better numbers of

Tournament proceeds will support initiatives related to the IGFA’s commitment to research and conservation. Previous tournament initiatives have included research from Barbara Block’s lab at Stanford University, where onsite biologists removed lateral rectus muscles from harvested swordfish as part of ongoing efforts to better understand brain and eye temperature regulation in the species

bluefin to start biting better at any time. In the meantime, even though the bluefin bite is not red hot at the moment, there are still some bluefin biting to go with good numbers of yellowtail that are being found around some of the offshore kelp paddies.

• Areas that are currently producing most of the bluefin and yellowtail activity include banks that are in Mexican waters and U.S. waters and are the 425 Bank, the 371 Bank, the 302 Spot, the 224 Spot, the Corner and the area 4 to 8 miles southeast of Pyramid Head at San Clemente Island.

The IGFA encourages early registration for the tournament, as spots are limited and expected to fill up quickly. Early bird registration is $300 per angler and is available to those who register before Aug. 1. The entry fee after that is $350 per angler. Teams are responsible for chartering or providing their own boats for the tournament.

the area 4 to 8 miles to the southeast of Pyramid Head have been the best.

• In other areas, there was a private boater who caught a 60 pound bluefin tuna that bit on a trolled Nomad Madmac jig that was trolled through a porpoise school at the 9 Mile Bank. A couple of banks that might be worth keeping and eye on up in the Catalina region are the 209 Spot and the 181 Spot as there have been reports of a few yellowtail starting to show around some of the kelp paddies in those areas. There was also a recent report about what were thought to be bluefin tuna that were being metered on the fathometer in an area of purple-blue color water located about 3 miles east of the 209 Spot.
