Newport Beach City Council selects two new harbor commissioners Marie Marston and Stephen Scully were appointed to fill two vacant harbor commission seats on June 25.

NEWPORT BEACH—Newport Beach City Council appointed two new harbor commissioners to fill the vacant seats of David Girling and John Drayton. Marie Marston and Stephen Scully received the most votes, with council members unanimously voting for Marston and Scully receiving four of the seven votes.

Council members, at the June 25 meeting, also decided Marston would serve her term until June 30, 2023 and Scully would serve one until June 30, 2021; commissioners will be eligible for reappointment when their terms expire.

Scully is new to civic boards, but has served on the advisory board for Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies since 2011 and was on the International Philanthropy Committee for International Fund for Animal Welfare from 2012 until 2015. He has lived in Newport Beach for 25 years and is a long-time boat owner.

In his application, Scully stated, “I believe that our city owns and operates the most beautiful harbor on the West

Marie Marston and Stephen Scully will replace Dave Girling and John Drayton on the Newport Beach Harbor Commission. Marston will serve until 2023, while Scully will be up for possible reappointment in 2020.

Coast, and I would fully commit myself to serving the needs of all constituents within our community.”

Marston has already served on an agency similar to the harbor commission. From 2006 until 2017, Marston was chair of Newport Beach Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission. She has a background in civil engineering and has been a resident of Newport Beach for 32 years. Her lengthy resume of other community work and civic experience includes serving on the General Plan Advisory Committee from 2003-2006, Newport Harbor High School Junior Mentor Program. She was also the trea-

surer for Speak Up Newport from 2015 until 2017.

Marston said in her application, “As a practicing civil engineer, I understand problems and how to arrive at logical solutions. I also am involved with water quality and understand runoff concerns. I have no conflict of interest because I do not live on the harbor, or own a boat on the harbor, and my business is not involved in related activities or decisions. As such I can remain an interested neutral party to find the best solutions for harbor users.”

During the public comment section, one commenter addressed the concern

of not being able to find qualified candidates, which appeared to see fewer nominees.

Councilmember Joy Brenner responded that she used to see commissions as “an entry way for people to understand the government process,” but has since changed her opinion.

“I have a completely different way of looking at this now … [we need someone with] the qualifications, the experience, the expertise to make recommendations to use that we can really trust,” continued Brenner. “We really need serious expertise.”

Brenner also stated that the city council needs to emphasize skill sets in planning, environmental impact reports and zoning among other areas.

Council members interviewed three of the nominees, also including Renee West. West and Scully went head to head for the appointment as she received only one less vote from council members.

According to Newport Beach policy A-2 on Boards, Commission and Committees, no candidates shall serve more than two consecutive terms. For more information about the harbor commission, visit the website at newportbeachca.gov/ government/departments/harbor/ harbor-commission.

Trout caught with ring tied to tail at Lake Michigan – and the bizarre reason comes out

 NEWS BRIEFS NATION/WORLD Alaskans alarmed by “crazy” early melting resulting from warmer ocean temperatures ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP)—Sea ice along northern Alaska disappeared far earlier than normal this spring, alarming coastal residents who rely on wildlife and fish.

Ice melted as a result of exceptionally warm ocean temperatures, the Anchorage Daily News reported.

The early melting has been “crazy,” said Janet Mitchell of

what the strange reasoning behind the fish could be from being a Department of Natural Resources tracking device to a death or divorce.

In a follow-up story to the unusual catch, it was discovered that Capt. Jason Rose and his wife had recently gone through a divorce. Rose told Chicago Times-Sun his wife had never liked that he enjoyed fishing, so he finally decided to cut the band loose – on a steelhead. Supposedly, the ring had always been haunted, which further prompted Rose to rid himself of it. A few other news outlets had reported Nelligan also believed the ring to be host to a supernatural force; he

mentioned his boat had not operated the same since the trout had been BW caught and hoisted aboard.

The story certainly became stranger as more details were unveiled, A trout was caught at Lake Michigan with a “cursed” and some wedding ring attached to its tail with a ziptie. people said this might have been unusually cruel to the fish. to hound.

Its America tho so to I hunt fish and trap also used each their own I reckon.”

Kivalina. Hunters from her family in early June traveled more than 50 miles (80 kilometers) by boat to find bearded seals on sea ice.

Bearded seals in the past could be hunted just outside the village but sea ice had receded far to the north.

“We didn’t know if we’d have our winter food,” she said. “That was scary.”

The hunters ran out of gas after harvesting eight seals and a walrus. They were able to call other residents to deliver fuel, Mitchell said.

Rick Thoman, a climatologist with the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment & Policy at the University of Alaska Fairbanks,

posted on social media last week that the northern Bering and southern Chukchi seas are “baking.”

Sea surface temperatures last week were as high as 9 degrees (5 Celsius) above the 1981-2010 average, reaching into the lower 60s, he said, with effects on the climate system, food web, communities and commerce.

Kotzebue and Norton sounds were warmest but the heat extended far out into the ocean.

The warmth is weeks ahead of schedule and part of a “positive feedback loop” compounded by climate change. Rising ocean temperatures have led to less sea ice, which leads to warmer ocean

CHICAGO—Under a lake’s surface can be a pretty weird place and you never know what could be found. A fisherman taking part in a tournament named Joe Penar certainly reeled in a surprising haul when he caught a trout with a gold wedding band attached to its tail with a cable tie.

The Chicago Sun-Times picked up the story and interviewed Jim Nelligan, the owner of Grey Lion II, where Penar had been fishing from at Lake Michigan. Before the true story of the ring came out, the fishermen theorized

temperatures, he said.

The last five years have produced the warmest sea-surface temperatures on record in the region, contributing to record low sea-ice levels.

“The waters are warmer than last year at this time, and that was an extremely warm year,” Thoman said.

Lisa Sheffield Guy of the Arctic Research Consortium of the United States oversees an online platform that allows Alaska Native walrus hunters to share tips on sea ice, weather and hunting. The need for reporting ended May 31 because coastal sea ice had melted.

Re: Nautical Banter: Less is More as a Liveaboard (issue June 14-27)

Neighborly Considerations One thing that surprised me about my new liveaboard neighbors is that they brought with them 3 dogs, one of which is a 220 lb. mastiff. They chose the last slip away from shore in a very long shed.

When do you take your 220lb Mastiff back to shore to do his business? Anytime he wants. So just like clockwork, at 2-3 A.M. every morning I’m sleeping on my boat, I hear the pitter-patter of huge feet, hoofing it (literally) down the walkway.

As for being social, it is important to realize that your social life gets “enjoyed” by everyone else at your dock, whether they wish to enjoy it or not. I’m sure you are right proud of your taste in music, for example, but you should be aware that rap music is an oxymoron to most of those around you.

For good measure, that oh so funny joke spewing forth from your inebriated brain is not that funny as it carries across

the water four sheds down the harbor.

But I digress – liveaboards are great!

Bob Easterday

How close is too close?

Great column about transitioning from home to boat, from a real-life, local perspective. Reality, really struck me one morning, as a newbie in a slip, when my neighboring slip mate, was already sitting out, and only about 6-8 feet away from me! My personal space was encroached upon, even though we did express morning niceties. We’re only once-a-week boaters, I like saying “hi” to dock mates, we look out for one another, but your article heightens my appreciation and awareness of privacy.

How close is too close? Maybe I wouldn’t want to be so friendly if I was a liveaboard?? Am I intruding, or too nosey? Or vice versa?

Learning to accept others’ living styles, in adjacent slips, lack of privacy and such tight quarters, are serious BIG deals to consider, OR contend with! Please write more!

Docked Authority: What Can and What Can’t a Sheriff Do? Access to Newport Beach’s public docks was reduced from 72 hours to 20 minutes before the California Coastal Commission stepped in – did the OC Sheriff’s Department go too far?

By Parimal M. Rohit NEWPORT BEACH—Don’t shoot the Sheriff, or the deputy. Don’t question his authority, either – especially when it comes to dictating how much time you can leave your boat at a public dock. Unless you’re the California Coastal Commission – only then does the decision to

reduce the allowable time to leave your boat at a public dock in Newport Beach from 72 hours to 20 minutes become an issue.

Anyone who has been reading The Log these past few weeks is by now aware of Lt. Christopher Corn’s decision to reduce access at a set of public docks in Newport Beach from 72 hours to 20 minutes. The Coastal Commission ultimately challenged Corn’s decision, causing him to change the regulation and now allow boats to access the public docks from dawn to dusk.

Asking why Corn made such a drastic decision in the first place – and reducing access of public docks from 72 hours to 20 minutes is drastic – really isn’t the question to ask.

FAST FACTS

Avalon – the metropolis that almost never was

By Parimal M. Rohit

AVALON—A trip to Catalina Island sometimes means a visit to the landmass’s largest city, a metropolis in name only: Avalon. But Avalon might not have been Catalina Island’s sole urban destination. That title might have went to a place called Queen City, which once existed near Two Harbors.

Queen City was almost emerged out of a mining community on the west end of Catalina Island. Mining activities were quite ripe near Fourth of July Harbor and Cherry Valley, both located northwest of Two Harbors.

Plans were in store to build out Queen City as Catalina Island’s so-called metropolis, but nothing ever materialized, according to a thesis paper on Catalina Island.

“In 1863 a mining boom at Santa Catalina centered around the Fourth of July Harbor and Cherry Valley; the [William Hazeltine & Co.] mentioned considered the place ripe for a township, and filed notice of location on May 24, 1864, of ‘forty acres of land for a Town site which we have this day surveyed and located in Town lots, known as Queen City, situated one-half mile from Wilson’s Harbor and running Southerly covering Wood or Beach Valley, running southerly towards the Main Ridge and lying west of Silver Hill and East of Boushey’s new Road to the mines,’” Adelaide Le Mert Gregg wrote in “A History of Santa Catalina Island from 1542 to 1919.”

“But this town was an unborn project of the hectic mining days, and in actuality not a store was erected nor a street laid out in it, except perhaps in the dreams of R. I. Shipley, William Hazeltine & Company,” Gregg continued in her thesis for the University of Southern California.

Avalon, at the time, was merely a camp/settlement known as Timm’s Landing. The area was named after a Mr. Timm of San Pedro. _ Shatto purchased the island in 1887, leading many to rename Timm’s Landing as – you guessed it – Shatto.

“Shatto himself did not favor the name, and did not record the maps bearing it. Avalon was named in 1887, and was not recorded on any maps of the Island before that time,” Gregg wrote in his thesis.

Avalon was barely noticeable during its early days.

“The population of Avalon in its early days was small. Previous to 1887, the site was a ‘houseless waste’ used by occasional campers. Twelve years later, in 1899, the population had grown but little.

It was a summer tent city, and the permanent population is estimated as about one hundred persons, _ wrote.“During the summer, however, it was sometimes overflowing with as many as 3,000 persons.”

The Bannings acquired Catalina in 1891, and Avalon started showing signs of life.

As many as 500 people lived in Avalon by 1909, Gregg added. Avalon became an official city four years later.

Researchers from Chapel Hill campus will perform additional water quality monitoring services related to shellfish aquaculture opportunities.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SAN DIEGO—A partnership between the Port of San Diego and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to monitor contaminants in the bay for water quality compliance and to inform the district of potential siting opportunities for shellfish aquaculture was extended, June 18. The port district’s Board of Port Commissioners approved the contract extension, which would expand the partnership’s total budget by as much as $159,000.

The extended agreement is now worth $248,000 and will be in effect through Dec. 31, 2021.

Researchers at UNC Chapel Hill entered into a water quality monitoring agreement with the port district in August 2018. The partnership directed university researchers “to perform research services related to monitoring of the San Diego Bay for microbial contaminants for water quality compliance and to inform potential siting opportunities for shellfish aquaculture.”

“The facilities and analyses capabilities at UNC are unique and specifically fulfill current and emerging regulatory requirements required by state, national, and international agencies that govern shellfish sanitation regulations for shellfish grown or harvested for human consumption,” port district staff stated about the partnership with UNC Chapel Hill.

“While this work has been ongoing, there is a need to continue to evaluate potential locations and provide a comprehensive understanding of microbial contaminant sources and concentrations in the context of recreational and aquaculture beneficial uses of San Diego Bay, as well as satisfy the data requirements necessary for identifying appropriate locations for potential certification by public health agencies,” port district staff continued.

The port district has been pursuing opportunities in the aquaculture space for a few years now – and this research services partnership could help the Port of San Diego pinpoint specific locations in the bay where it could develop shellfish farms or other blue economy businesses.

“The research structure to date has multiple main initial components which have informed potential siting opportunities for shellfish to be grown and harvested for human consump-

tion uses,” port district staff explained in a report to commissioners. “Based upon identified ‘’hot spots” and areas of minimal concern, additional intensive pathogen monitoring work may be desired prior to final selection of any specific location for aquaculture purposes. In addition, there may be aquaculture prodThe University of North Carolina will continue to work with the ucts for which direct public Port of San Diego on water quality compliance and aquaculture consumption is anticipated, opportunities. indicating a need for proactive pathogen monitoring.”

Pacifica runs aground in Mission Beach; more than one dozen passengers rescued

By Parimal M. Rohit

SAN DIEGO—A sportfishing boat beached as it was returning from an offshore fishing trip south of Mexico, according to multiple news reports.

San Diego’s Fox5 reported Pacifica was returning from a fishing trip in Mexico when it crashed onto the shores of Mission Beach during the early morning hours of June 28. There were reportedly 20 or 21 people aboard, with 15 or 16 passengers rescued off the boat by local lifeguards. The crew remained on board, according to news reports.

San Diego Police Department reported the sportfishing vessel grounded at 4:45 a.m. on June 28, near San Fernando Place and Belmont Park.

No injuries were initially reported.

Rescue operations were reportedly conducted by San Diego Police, San Diego Lifeguards and San Diego Fire-Rescue.

An official website detailing the sportfishing vessel’s specifications listed Andrew Viola as Pacifica’s skipper. Whether he was at the helm at the time of beaching has not been fully confirmed. Some sources familiar with the situation informed The Log stated Viola was the vessel’s formal skipper but did not provide any other information. Others stated Viola was not at the helm. The Log continues to look into whether Viola was indeed at the helm when Pacifica beached in Mission Bay. Pacifica is a 65-foot sportfishing vessel owned by Viola, Drew Card and Markus Medak. It was built in 1978 and has a maximum capacity of 32 people. The vessel’s home is Seaforth Sportfishing, which is located at Mission Beach (1717 Quivira Road in San Diego).

An investigation of the beaching is underway; the cause of the crash was not immediately known or reported.

NBC7 San Diego reported Pacifica was not damaged by the crash. The investigation will look into whether alcohol or sleeping at the wheel was involved, NBC7 San Diego continued in its reporting.

No other information was made available about the beaching of Pacifica.

The most recent fishing report had Pacifica returning from a 1.5-day trip on June 26, with 12 anglers aboard.

The fish count for that trip: 18 yellowtails, nine bluefin and one yellowfin.

An overnight trip coming back to shore on June 24 had 30 anglers aboard; the anglers caught 21 yellow-

tails and 20 Pacific bonito.

Viola, by coincidence, was the captain of Prowler when it collided with Attessa IV in October 2018. The U.S. Coast Guard’s investigation of the collision, which occurred 9

miles off the coast of Imperial Beach, is still ongoing. At least one person died as a result of the collision.

The sportfishing vessel was making its way home from a fishing trip when it beached just before dawn on June 28.

Cause of beaching has not yet been determined.

The sportfishing boat Pacifica was found beached on the San Diego coast during the early morning hours of June 28. At least 15 people had to be rescued off the boat, which grounded in the Mission Beach area of San Diego.

Standing Watch From page 6

Instead we should ask whether Corn was authorized to reduce access to Newport Beach’s public docks by 4,300 minutes (or 99.5 percent, for added perspective), in the first place.

Corn has defended his position to The Log, saying his decision to reduce the amount of time boaters had to access the docks was not illegal. There is a difference, however, between legality and authority. An action being “not illegal” doesn’t necessarily mean it is authorized. It is possible for Corn’s decision to be not against the law AND not authorized.

There are nuances within how the law operates, but even more, the Sheriff’s Department – any Sheriff’s Department – operates as a law enforcement agency. The meaning of this should be clear – members of the Sheriff’s Department enforces the law.

Deputies, lieutenants, sergeants, even the Sheriff – none of them create the law or mandate regulations. Corn, to be fair, acknowledged this, but he still took matters into his own hands – because he believed he was authorized to do so.

Herein lies the true question: Was the time limit on the public docks a policy, regulation or law? Answering this question in the affirmative should take any decision-making powers on the policy/regulation/law out of the hands of anyone in law enforcement.

Such decisions should be made by the actual policymakers overseeing the specific jurisdiction. Orange County’s Board of Supervisors would likely be the policymaking agency in charge, as the Sheriff’s Department is involved.

The way the city of Santa Monica manages its parking rules and time limit could provide some insight here.

Santa Monica’s City Council decides what parking restrictions apply (and where). A stretch of Montana Avenue, for example, might be labeled as Zone R. Anyone with a (fictional) Zone R permit can park along this stretch of road without restriction. Anyone without a Zone R permit either can’t park along this stretch of road at all, or during certain hours, or with the resident’s permission and a temporary pass.

Enforcement of these parking

thelog.com

restrictions was conducted by – surprise, surprise – the Santa Monica Police Department. But it was the City Council who deliberated and mandated the rules and restrictions. This writer, while writing at another publication, covered several City Council meetings where parking rules and restrictions were deliberated (and voted on).

How do we classify the leaving of a boat at a public dock? If we define this as “parking,” then would the scenario above apply to the situation at Newport Beach’s public docks? Orange County’s Board of Supervisors – or Newport Beach’s City Council, depending upon who has jurisdiction over the public docks area – should be the public entity mandating the length of time a boat can be docked at the public docks. The Sheriff’s Department, it follows, should be enforcing what the supervisors (or City Council members, whichever jurisdiction applies) mandated. This is the correct form of government function.

The Log’s staff writer, Devon Warren-Kachelein, spoke with Corn several times about his decision, and at least once he said access to the public docks was slashed from 72 hours to 20 minutes because too many boaters were abusing the rules. Boaters were apparently leaving their vessels at the docks for longer than 72 hours. He also told Warren-Kachelein the 99.5 percent reduction in time was rooted in a necessity to ensure public safety.

Let’s give Corn here the benefit of the doubt and acknowledge there might have been boaters who left their boats at the public docks for too long and the time allotted to park here actually posed a threat to public safety.

Perhaps he truly believed the abuse of time constituted an emergency, hence the need to take immediate action.

But what was the emergency? Neither Corn, the city nor the county offered a detailed explanation as to what sort of emergency existed to justify a 99.5 percent reduction in public access.

An emergency situation would certainly justify a temporary or shortterm action – but one has to wonder whether Corn would have allowed the 20-minute time restriction to remain in place had the Coastal Commission

One reader, who identified himself as Pete Rabbitt, sent this letter to the editor: “O.C. Sheriff [Lt.] Christopher Corn is a real public servant! NOT! What part of his brain did he employ to change the mooring limits from 72 hours ... not to 24 hours, or 12 hours, but to 20 minutes? As a [Newport Beach] dinghy and Duffy owner it’s “puzzling” Lt. Corn took it upon himself to make such a radical change which eliminates the opportunity to enjoy a meal at Blue Water Grill, or the Cannery, or at Lido Village!

Lt. Corn should be reminded that he and his associates provide what’s the best and fairest way to serve the Harbor Area’s boating community.”

The lack of an emergency means we still have to ask this question: Was Corn authorized to unilaterally act and alter the time allotted to park at Newport Beach’s public docks?

The proper protocol should have been this: Corn, in recognizing certain boaters were overstaying their welcome or otherwise not following the rules, would have created a staff report and presented his case to the O.C.

Board of Supervisors/Newport Beach City Council (whichever agency is in charge). The overseeing agency would then deliberate the matter and come to a decision. If the board or council mandated the allowable time to use the public docks should be reduced from 72 hours to 20 minutes – so be it, the proper process was followed. Members of the public, of course, can challenge the decision – but again, the proper process was followed, and the public would be within their own rights to respond, accordingly.

Wilmington Waterfront projects, a decade in the making, may see construction in 2020

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

WILMINGTON—Longshoremen were not too happy about the Los Angeles Board of Port Commissioners’ decision to automate the Port of L.A. (a source of discontent over the past weeks), but a major project on the horizon, Wilmington Waterfront Promenade, looks to be inching closer to completion. Due to complications concerning relocation of the eastern tank, Los Angeles Department and Water and Power (DWP) and the city have had difficulties getting the project off the ground. However, permits to transfer 7.4 acres of property to Port of Los Angeles in February cleared the way to bring open spaces, parks, waterfront recreational areas and eventually commercial property to Wilmington’s waterfront.

Michael Galvin, Director of Waterfront and Commercial Real Estate, gave a presentation at the L.A. Board of Port Commissioners meeting on June 6, stating a few impediments to the project had been resolved. During the presentation, Galvin gave updates on the yet-to-be-named Wilmington Waterfront Promenade and Avalon Promenade & Gateway.

Galvin stated, “We’ve made a lot of progress in the last couple of years, especially in the last 12 months regarding clearing land to make it available with negotiations to the DWP.” Approximately 9 acres of land will be open for development with a halfmile along Wilmington’s waterfront (called the “window to the waterfront” in the presentation) for plazas, event space, playgrounds, and pier and public landings. The estimated cost for Avalon Promenade & Gateway is $25.3 million.

Galvin continued that other waterfront elements are hopefully to “mesh well with existing Banning’s Landing” infrastructure. Wilmington Youth Sailing Center, for instance, will be able to offer sailing programs year-round instead of just during the summer.

Galvin also said there are hopes to link LA Waterfront’s harbor tours in San Pedro with those in Wilmington.

Commissioner Diane Middleton was concerned about the price tag of the projects. She mentioned Avalon Promenade & Gateway appeared to be a lot of open spaces, so she was concerned how a concept such as this one could equate to $25 million. Galvin stated in later meetings a breakdown of the costs would be provided.

City staff will begin receiving bids on the project in August. Construction

is slated to begin in 2020. The deadline to receive community input for Wilmington Waterfront Promenade is July 31 and approval for the project will be received by the commissioners in fall.

Guy is a seabird biologist who studied birds on St. Lawrence Island south of the Bering Strait. She’s worried that warmer temperatures will make it harder for seabirds to find the tiny seafood they eat, she said. The heat might push their prey deeper or away from the area.

Warmer ocean temperatures come as hunters report large numbers of dead seals off Alaska’s western and northern coasts, Thoman said. An unusually large number of dead gray whales have also been found off Alaska’s southern coasts, where sea surface temperatures are also unusually high, Thoman said. It’s not known whether the warm water has contributed, Thoman said.

In March, the high temperatures were blamed for a large ice shelf breaking from the coast near Nome in March, dragging tethered crab pots. Nick Treinen lost two crab pots and others lost more.

The ice also swept away gold mining equipment, forcing a helicopter rescue for three miners who unsuccessfully tried to save it.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will conduct an unusually extensive fish survey in the Bering Strait this summer, Thoman said. It could provide clues for possible impacts to Bering Sea fisheries, he said.

Federal law will make sea urchin shipping from Maine easier ELLSWORTH, Maine (AP)—Supporters of

Maine’s sea urchin industry say a federal law change will make it easier to ship the seafood out of state.

Maine’s the site of a fishery for sea urchins, which are harvested so their roe can be used as food. But members of the industry and some lawmakers have charged over the years that burdensome inspection regulations make it difficult to ship the product where it needs to go.

Former Republican Rep. Bruce Poliquin and current Democratic Rep. Chellie Pingree are among the lawmakers who have called for an ease on those burdens, which sometimes result in the seafood spoiling while awaiting inspections.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says in the Federal Register that it’s amending regulations about importation and exportation of urchins to address the problem.

Invasive clam shells found at Montana’s Lake Elmo BILLINGS, Montana (AP)—Montana wildlife officials say evidence of an invasive clam that can out-compete native species has been found for the first time in a state waterbody.

Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials say Asian clamshells were recently found near the boat ramp at Lake Elmo State Park in Billings. The discovery was made by participants in a training session on the detection of aquatic invasive species.

No live clams were found.

The quarter-sized mollusks are smaller than native clams that live in Montana. In large enough numbers officials say they can clog screens on irrigation pumps or other water intakes.

Since being discovered in Washington State’s Columbia River in 1938 Asian clams have spread to almost every state.

Mariners and environmentalists reportedly pulled 40 tons of abandoned fishing net from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Forty tons of fishing nets retrieved from Pacific Ocean SAN FRANCISCO (LOG News Service)—In a mission to clean up trash floating in the ocean, environmentalists pulled 40 tons of abandoned fishing nets in June from an area known as the Great Pacific Garbage

Patch.

Mariners on a 140-foot cargo sailboat outfitted with a crane sailed from Hawaii to the heart of the Pacific Ocean, where they retrieved the haul of mostly plastic fishing nets as part of an effort to rid the waters of the nets that entangle whales, turtles and fish and damage coral reefs.

The volunteers with the Californiabased nonprofit Ocean Voyages Institute fished out the derelict nets from a marine gyre location where ocean currents converge between Hawai’i and California during their 25-day expedition, the group's founder, Mary Crowley, announced on June 28.

The group is among a handful of nonprofits working to collect plastic trash from the open ocean, an endeavor that can be dangerous, time consuming and expensive.

The cargo ship returned June 18 to Honolulu, where 2 tons of plastic trash were separated from the haul of fishing nets and donated to local artists to transform it into art work to educate people about ocean plastic pollution. The rest of the refuse was turned over to a zero emissions energy plant that will incinerate it and turn it into energy, she said.

A year before they went to pick up the nets, the Sausalito-based group gave sailors going from California to Hawaii buoyant GPS trackers the size of bowling balls to attach to the nets they encountered during their voyage so they could be tracked.

The group then sailed to collect the nets entangled with plastic chairs, bottles and other trash in an effort that cost $300,000. The group plans to deploy dozens more GPS trackers and next year embark on a three-month trash collection expedition, Crowley said.

It is estimated that between 600,000 and 800,000 metric tons of fishing gear is abandoned or lost during storms each year in the oceans, said Nick Mallos, Director of the Trash Free Seas Program at Ocean Conservancy, a nonprofit environmental advocacy group.

Coronado’s Boathouse property in need of short- and long-term repairs A historical mainstay of Glorietta Bay Marina requires access, roofing, plumbing, climate control, restroom and kitchen upgrades.

CORONADO—A historically iconic building on Coronado’s Glorietta Bay Marina waterfront needs several repairs, according to an assessment report and stewardship master plan approved by the local City Council, June 4.

The Coronado Boathouse, located at 1701 Strand Way, is a Victorian-style building once used as a boathouse but has since evolved into a restaurant.

Several items need attention despite the building being in overall good condition, according to the assessment.

“The Coronado Boathouse building is generally in good condition. There are several maintenance items that need attention and a few code related items that should be updated,” the “Coronado Boathouse Stewardship Master Plan: Conditions Assessment Report” stated.

“Some big picture concerns are related to the existing location of the building (set over the water), the lack of ventilation control inside the building, and the minimal amount of storage that exits inside the building for the operation of the restaurant.”

Coronado Boathouse (far right) needs to undergo repairs. The iconic venue is in generally good condition but a few things are aging or outdated. Coronado’s City Council received a report on the building’s current condition.

Coronado annually allocates $70,000 of tidelands funds to maintain the Boathouse property. The restaurant creates $343,000 in revenue for Coronado, according to city staff.

The assessment report and master plan is Coronado’s first-ever proactive effort to document the Boathouse’s historic past and evaluating upgrades.

Some of the short-term upgrades identified by the assessment report are: • Fixing wood walkways • Bathroom plumbing repairs • Meet ramp accessibility standards • Clean various fans and grills • Replace kitchen lighting with LEDs • Evaluate circuit breaker loads, and • Add sinks in the kitchen.

The estimated cost for short-term repairs is $549,897, according to city staff.

Long-term upgrades call for construction of a detached storage facility, relocation/replacement of some kitchen equipment and modification of the existing floor sink. City staff estimates the cost for these long-term upgrades is $437,676.

“Not included in these costs is raising the building to accommodate rising sea levels at a range of $1.7 (million) to $5.2 (million), based on the complexity

of work required. City staff and financial capacity determines the timeframe to complete, but King Tides already affect the building with water entering the first-floor decks during high winds,” the city staff report to council members stated. “Raising the building could potentially trigger a complete analysis and seismic rehabilitation of the Boathouse to current code.

“Recent roof repairs also demonstrated a limited supply of the clay tiles currently on the building,” the city staff report continued. “Eventual replacement of the entire roof with historically correct wood shingles is estimated to cost $316,280.”

The assessment report and master plan confirmed a position stated in the city staff report to council members: King Tides pose a significant threat to the Boathouse.

“The recent King Tides have caused concern for the building. The normal high tides in Glorietta Bay, typically measuring 5 to 6 feet, come within inches of the wood support beams of the wood platform under the building,” the assessment report and master plan stated. “Some recent King Tides were high enough to cover the support beams bringing sea level to just under

the wood platform of the building.

“The 2019 King Tide on January 21 measured 7.41 feet,” the assessment report and master plan continued. “The 2018 King Tide on January 2 measured 7.53 feet. These are similar to some previous year King Tides such as 7.62 feet in December of 1994 and 7.60 feet in December of 1989. On a calm day, the water stays below the platform of the building. On a windswept or stormy day, the water could be driven onto the first floor of the building during a King Tide.”

City staff recommended Coronado provide some assistance in upgrading the Boathouse, due to the building’s significance to the marina and region.

“The city is not obligated to make or fund any repairs or improvements unless desired or necessary for the basic function or safety of the building,” city staff stated in its report to council members. “However, in the interest of the historic preservation of the Boathouse, the city may opt to take the lead on items that are technically the responsibility of the tenant, for example modification of the windows or the construction of a permanent storage facility.”

The Boathouse was built in 1887 and predates Hotel del Coronado, which is located across the street.

“The building use was originally occupied as a boathouse with room for some boarders. In the early 1900s, the Boathouse was the beginning of oceanographic research in San Diego, later housed the Coronado Yacht Club and then the San Diego Yacht Club, was used for hotel guests by the Hotel del Coronado, and finally was renovated to be used as a restaurant,” the assessment report and stewardship master plan stated.

“Since 1968 the Coronado Boathouse has been a restaurant that is currently leased by Bluewater Grill,” the report and plan continued.

The assessment report and master plan was released on May 20.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein CORONA DEL MAR—China Cove in Corona del Mar is now known as a beautiful, scenic neighborhood with multimillion-dollar homes along the coast. Some might be wondering where the unusual name came from and this photo shows the reason: China House, the home built by William Lindsay, an attorney and department store owner.

China House was built in 1929 and this photo was likely taken in the 1930s. Lindsay’s wife was a fan of Eastern-Asian-inspired décor and architecture, which was apparent when looking at the home. The tiled roof has a pagoda style and ornate fixtures. A carved dragon was also at the entrance of the home.

In 1987, the home was torn down and two luxury houses were built in its place. China Cove is still a treasured hideaway in Corona del Mar today.

Another strike goes against developer CenterCal Properties, who at one time were slated to build $400 million waterfront shopping center in Redondo Beach.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

REDONDO BEACH—Redondo Beach has won yet another battle with developer CenterCal Properties, a developer who had been slated to update the city’s historic waterfront. The Daily Breeze reported that a Superior Court judge ordered the developer to shell out $900,000 in attorney’s fees accrued by the city.

Judge Malcolm Mackey, who presided over this case and a prior one in 2018, called the lawsuit “frivolous.” In the previous lawsuit, Mackey called the lawsuit a “sham.” Two Redondo Beach residents, Chris Voisey and Arnette Travis, filed the lawsuit in 2017, denying CenterCal was funding it; however, it was later revealed CenterCal was paying attorney fees to support the

lawsuit.

The hostility between the city and CenterCal began after city residents voted to pass Measure C, a movement to restrict waterfront in Redondo Beach in 2017. CenterCal, in 2018 during a California Coastal Commission meeting concerning the development, served residents with lawsuits.

The developer also threatened a new lawsuit over the BeachLife Festival, a music festival that took place in May with a lineup included big-name rockers like Willie Nelson, Bob Weir, Brian Wilson and many others.

Jim Light, who serves on Redondo Beach Harbor Commission, recently commented on a story penned for The Log about a waterfront shopping center called 2nd & PCH, also a CenterCal development.

Commissioner Light, who opposed CenterCal’s “mall by the sea” project and supported Rescue Our Waterfront watchdog group, stated, “CenterCal is famous for ignoring the community and the environmental impacts of their projects. In Redondo, people were so upset that CenterCal was ignoring their concerns that by the last public vision-

ing session, CenterCal did not allow public comment … In the end, despite thousands of comments from the public, CenterCal pressed ahead with its plan and with a very flawed EIR. It took resident action to get the Coastal Commission to void the development permits and a judge to throw out the EIR and order the city rescind its project approvals. The Coastal Commission unanimously voted the project had substantial issues with compliance

with Redondo’s Local Coastal Program and with the California Coastal Act.” Light continued, “All this shows that CenterCal is willing to violate the law with its projects and when it does not get its way they are willing to sue the bejesus out of their opponents. CenterCal is bad news for any community.”

ecoSPEARS developed a new technology to remove toxins from contaminated sediments without the use of harmful chemicals.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SAN DIEGO—A new pilot project proposing to extract various toxic contaminants from groundwater, sediment and soil earned the support of the Port of San Diego and its Board of Port Commissioners. The board approved a resolution in support of the aquaculture project at its June 18 meeting.

Startup company ecoSPEARS Inc. developed a new technology to “extract and destroy polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs), dioxins and other chlorinated toxic contaminants from the environment – forever,” according to port district staff. ecoSPEARS, port district staff stated in a report to commissioners, develops cleanup solutions “that are protective of human health, wildlife and the environment.”

Like a good neighbor – Sharing community space as a liveaboard Being a liveaboard has its perks – and challenges.

What’s it like living among other boats, especially when you don’t always see the people you live next to?

Port of Los Angeles boats to your left, to your right?

KD: Absolutely.

By Parimal M. Rohit

PMR: What expectations do boat owners have of you as a liveaboard?

LONG BEACH—The second edition of The Log’s Nautical Banter column is here.

Our editor, Parimal M. Rohit, sits with OC Weekly’s Sales Director, Kevin Davis, to talk about being a good neighbor while living aboard a boat.

Kevin, if you recall from our first column, is a liveaboard at Long Beach’s Shoreline Marina. Parimal and Kevin continue to have explorative discussions about key boating topics. Do you have a topic you’d like to have them discuss and deliberate? If so please email your suggestions to parimal@thelog.com.

KD: We all kind of respect each other, but you’re always on the lookout for any kind of issues that might come up, whether it be strangers that are down on the dock that shouldn’t be down here, or people that you’ve never seen on other people’s boat, you’re always watching out.

Then you also got weather, especially when you have high winds and things.

You see a lot of people, especially the jibs that come undone. When those start to break up, you can lose a jib sail real quick in the wind. It’ll tear and just destroy the sail. And they’re not cheap [to replace].

We’ve seen boats, they’re taking on water, and you call the marina. You want to try to salvage somebody’s boat, but also you want to make sure that a lot of the chemicals in the boat - the oil and the diesel fuel and stuff like that - don’t also spill out.

Parimal M. Rohit: We’re aboard your boat, which is named …

Kevin Davis: Indy Sent Lady.

PMR: And that’s named after …

KD: My wife being from Indianapolis.

PMR: How long have you been living here in Long Beach?

KD: We’ve been living here in Long Beach … 10 years.

PMR: And on the boat?

KD: 7 years.

PMR: So in 7 years you’ve clearly had a chance to get to know the people around you. You’re here in a pretty big marina. Explain the relationship you have with your immediate neighbors. How often do you talk with them, see them, are they liveaboards, too?

KD: Well, liveaboards are supposed to be separate by so many boats, things like that, but it doesn’t always work that way.

Folks like the folks next door to us, they come down every once in a while and take their little boat out. Folks (on the other side of us), we’ve known them for a while, but you just get to know everybody at some point.

PMR: You mentioned liveaboards are spread apart. Clearly there are people who are close to you who aren’t liveaboards. Is there a certain responsibility that falls on you to keep an eye out for

PMR: Are there times when you’ve had a conflict with your neighbors? How are those conflicts resolved?

KD: Every once in a while maybe a little bit more of a noise, sometimes, especially during the work week and other people aren’t working but they might be down for vacation, they’re having a party and having a good time. Living on a boat, you got your regular Monday through Friday routine, and you get people who are partying and being a little loud and obnoxious, it’s just part of the territory, you just kind of suck it up a little.

Now if you have certain people around you who aren’t being respectful, it’s okay to raise your head up and say, “hey, do you mind toning it down a bit? I have work in the morning.”

PMR: Let’s go to the other end of the spectrum. Has there ever been a time where there has been a strong sense of community, in terms of coming to the aid of someone on the docks or at a slip? You know, where there’s no one around to act and you have to step up?

Port of San Diego, other agencies comply with sea level rise planning Public entities such as the port district were required to submit adaptive strategies to the state

by July 1.

The Port of San Diego’s official sea level rise policy planning document was submitted to the State Lands Commission, as mandated by California law. The document explains how the port district will address sea level rise between now and 2100.

“In the bay we’ve already observed a 0.7-foot increase in sea level rise, which is … about 8 inches of sea level rise over the past 100 years” Gibbons said.

“There’s a tide gauge in San Diego Bay, it’s been there for 100 years, so this is a … great data set to assess water levels in the bay.”

Port district staff has been reviewing best available science and models showcasing inundation and flooding possibilities.

The lower end sea level rise projection for San Diego Bay, according to Gibbons, was 2.5 feet by 2100; the high

Gibbons also mentioned the following projections: 0.8-foot increase in sea levels by 2030, and a 1.6-foot increase by 2050.

Adaptive planning, Gibbons said, is expected to be the new normal for the port district.

SAN DIEGO—A law requiring certain public entities to assess the potential effects of and protect public trust resources from sea level rise was the subject of a broad presentation made by the Port of San Diego’s staff on June 18. The presentation port district staff to the Board of Port Commissioners provided an overview of what regional officials would be doing to adapt to predicted sea level rise between now and 2100.

Phil Gibbons, a program manager with the Port of San Diego, said the port district is required by Assembly Bill 691 to plan for the potential effects of predicted sea level rise and better understand possible vulnerabilities. A plan to address sea level rise was due to the State Lands Commission by July 1. Projections of sea level rise for 2030, 2050 and 2100 had to be included in the report.

Port district staff met the July 1 deadline and presented the state with a plan to address sea level rise through an adaptive management framework.

The plan calls for the port district to first make a vulnerability assessment before engaging in adaptive planning and implementing a strategy. Keeping the public informed, monitoring the progress of the plan and sea level rise, and an evaluation of assessments and strategies are also part of the process.

“It’s fair to say that sea level rise is a very complex issue. The science is complicated, the planning horizon is very long,” Gibbons told commissioners. “There is a lot of uncertainty with predictions of sea level rise.”

Gibbons added the port district created an adaptive management approach to address the prospect of rising sea levels at and around San Diego Bay. He added there are already signs of sea level rise at the bay.

buildings and infrastructure with sea level rise in mind.”

Commissioner Rafael Castellanos said while the future is uncertain it won’t hurt the port district to take as many precautions as possible.

“We don’t know what technology is going to look like in the future. We don’t know how much the sea will rise. There’s a lot of uncertainty,” Castellanos said. “But this starts to give us a framework for being … adaptive and nimble. [It also allows us] to attack the problem in a sensible way that doesn’t obligate us to do certain things that make a lot of people nervous.”

Also expressing urgency to act now was Commission Marshall Merrifield.

“This is the kind of real challenge, real problem that has so many dimensions to it, if we don’t get working on it now, we won’t ever get working on it,” Merrifield said.

The port district is among a group of public entities required to submit sea level rise plans to the State Lands Commission. The submission must outline what the agency plans to do to address the potential fallout of predicted sea level rise. Plans must include illustrated maps and sea level rise scenarios in 2030, 2050, 2100 and a 100-year storm event.

Vaquita finally declared as ‘In-Danger’

species an “In-Danger” status when it became clear all other attempts to save the marine mammal weren’t working.

“After several years of strong opposition to an “in danger” designation, Mexican officials attending the World Heritage Committee meeting accepted the designation. The 21-member committee recognized that, with so few vaquita remaining and Mexico’s poor track record enforcing its regulations to save the vaquita and totoaba, the designation was necessary,” the Center for Biological Diversity’s released statement said.

The Upper Gulf of Mexico is the only known habitat for vaquitas.

NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) stated the vaquita population has declined by 95 percent since 1997. The sharp decline of the vaquita was blamed on illegal fishing, such as the use of drift gillnets to catch totoabas.

Illegal fishing is common in the Gulf of California (which is also known

BAJA CALIFORNIA—Third time is a charm? The World Heritage Committee of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) finally declared the vaquita porpoise species as being “In-Danger.”

The designation, which was granted after at least two previous attempts to do so failed, opens the door for Mexico and UNESCO to jointly develop “corrective measures” to save the vaquita.

Members of the World Heritage Committee approved the “In-Danger” designation during their July 3 meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan. The designation applies to Mexico’s Islands and Protected Areas of the Gulf of California; the Upper Gulf of California region is part of a World Heritage site.

Advocates with the Center for Biological Diversity have been petitioning UNESCO and the World Heritage Committee to grant vaquitas “In-Danger” status since 2015; efforts to declare the species as “In-Danger” were not granted in 2017 and 2018.

Oceanside Harbor staff prepares to launch Harbor Ambassador Volunteer Program The volunteer position, which will begin in August, will act as “the eyes and ears for Harbor Administration,” share information about boating safety for new users and communicate other harborrelated information.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein OCEANSIDE—Staff at Oceanside Harbor is on the verge of launching a new program, which will benefit many who enjoy the waterside: the Harbor Ambassador Volunteer Program. Harbor Division Manager Ted Schiafone sent an email to The Log on July 3 stating he had updated the City Council on the program’s progress.

“Staff is moving forward with new volunteer program designed to provide information to slip renters, boaters, paddle boarders, kayakers, beach visitors and the general public that comes to enjoy Oceanside Harbor,” Schiafone said.

“This program will consist of volunteers on kayaks inside of the Harbor who will visit the transient docks, kayak launch areas and boat ramp while paddling a kayak. Their purpose will be to inform users of the general boating and safety rules. Many new users of the Harbor have taken up kayaking and paddle boarding without any previ-

She was in the water trying to get the dog out. She’s screaming for help. Me and one other younger guy that was on her dock, we ran over and we pulled the dog out.

At the time the dog was lifeless. Between me and this young kid, we basically performed CPR and brought the dog around.

She took it to the vet and we never heard anything else about it, but it was just one of those things, you see people in need, you’re gonna help people.

You just kind of keep an eye out on people, all the time, because you are living over the water, and it’s dangerous.

PMR: So let’s talk about etiquette. What is the etiquette about having pets as a liveaboard? Are there any unwritten rules?

KD: Absolutely. You always want to keep your animals quiet. You don’t want them to be a pest to anyone. It just goes to being respectful to anybody and everybody.

PMR: If I’m a novice boater or if I want

ous boating experience,” Schiafone continued.

An emphasis on boating safety is at the center of the new program, which will require new volunteers have at least five years of boating experience.

In addition to being an active boater, volunteers will be required to wear an approved flotation device, take a swim competency test and hold a valid California Boaters Card.

“Staff believes this will provide increased safety inside the Harbor and improve customer service. These volunteers will also act as the eyes and ears for Harbor Administration and will communicate via VHF (waterproof) radios regarding any important issues,” Schiafone said.

Oceanside already has a Downtown Ambassador Program, which has been operating this year from May 28 to August 30. These programs offer community members to give back, while also welcoming visitors to make their stays as fun as possible.

Schiafone anticipates the program would begin in August. A presentation about the new program will also be given at the next Harbor and Beaches Advisory Committee meeting, which are held Mondays, six times a year; the next meeting will likely take place in August as well.

For more information about attending HBAC meeting, visit the website at ci.oceanside.ca.us/services/comms/ hbac.asp.

to give this liveaboard thing a try, what suggestions would you have for me, to be a better neighbor?

KD: If you’re going to be living on a boat, and you plan to take the boat out, regardless if it’s a powerboat or sailboat, I recommend, go get some classes. Learn how to take your boat in and out of the slip. People that don’t think about the difficulty of bringing a boat in or out of the slip don’t realize that it’s not just your boat that you have to be concerned about, it’s all the other boats you may run into, and if you don’t know what you’re doing, you can really mess up your boat and you can mess up someone else’s boat.

PMR: Is there a general rule of how often you should take your boat in and out of your slip or the marina?

KD: There are certain things you always want to do. You want to make sure that you’re running your engine ever so often, especially if it’s a diesel engine. Diesel fuel has a tendency to get old after awhile.

For us, we probably get out once a month, or at least try to. We might go out for only a couple hours, and other days we might just go out for the whole day and stay out.

Changes continue to be made on Catalina Island, what with Avalon serving as a major tourist destination during summer months. But the island is still a hot spot for Southern California boaters.

By Parimal M. Rohit CATALINA ISLAND—Welcome to The Log’s third-ever issue dedicated to Catalina Island. Our previous special issues featured stories on island time, the palapas of Two Harbors, culture at Catalina Island Museum, the history of Glenmore Plaza Hotel and the various activities you can do while visiting the most populated land mass off the coast of Los Angeles.

Some of what we’ll feature in this special Catalina issue will remind you of the diversity of activities you can do while visiting Avalon, Two Harbors or anywhere else on the island. Other stories will delve into some corners

of the island we have yet to feature, such as the Catalina Country Club or the remodeled Hotel Atwater. And there will be a story or two on timely events or happenings on the island, as if everything else we’re featuring isn’t enough.

Many publications will hype up Catalina Island as the ultimate travel destination, a magical place where you can enjoy a relaxed, lazy city where resort-like amenities are aplenty and outdoor activities are a dime a dozen.

Those stories aren’t off base, but there is a lot more to Avalon, Two Harbors and Catalina Island than being a resortstyle destination for those looking to get away from the hustle-and-bustle of Los Angeles (or any other place on the mainland).

Did you know, for example, a 90-year-old man named Lolo is the only barber in Avalon? Catalina Country Club, meanwhile, has a locker room the Chicago Cubs used during their Spring Training run on the island.

Hotel Atwater, meanwhile, is on the verge of re-opening after undergoing a

Catalina Island: A Far Away Oasis That’s not Far Away

Avalon has become a thriving tourist destination, but the once sleepy town on Catalina Island is still a place for Southern California boaters to frequent. Our third-ever special Catalina Issue shares some of the island’s personality and charm, the things that make Avalon, Two Harbors and everywhere in between worth visiting, regardless of how many tourists show up.

complete facelift and makeover. (The hotel’s do-over, sadly, coincided with the closure of Mr. Ning’s restaurant; it was the only Chinese eatery in town since the 1980s.) Then there was the repaving of Catalina Island’s airport earlier this year – an ambitious project bringing the U.S. Navy and Army Corps

of Engineers together for a joint training exercise.

Of course the Catalina Island Conservancy has its new trailhead building, conveniently located between the ferry terminal and Crescent Avenue boardwalk. Much of what See INTRO page 25

Catalina Island offers many activities for boaters, both on the water and in the interior. Fishing, snorkeling, hiking, diving, parasailing, dining and golfing are some of the many things you can do on Catalina.

Things To Do on

Catalina Island *  Moor your boat at Avalon Harbor  Board “Cyclone” from Avalon to Two Harbors  Snorkel at Lover’s Cove  Rent a boat, kayak, standup paddleboard or pedal boat  Rent a jet ski (seasonal)  Go fishing  Go parasailing  Go diving  Go SCUBA diving  Visit the new Catalina Island Museum  Visit Catalina Island Conservancy’s Trailhead  Visit Catalina Country Club  Visit the old bird park  Visit the remodeled Hotel Atwater  Stroll through Wrigley Memorial and Botanic Garden  Relax at Island Spa Catalina  Attend Catalina Festival of Art  Take an aerial tour of the island via helicopter  Have lunch at Airport-In-The-Sky  Have lunch at Mt. Ada, the original Wrigley home  Have lunch or dinner at Harbor Reef restaurant at Two Harbors  Eat a meal at Toyon Grill (Catalina Island Conservancy’s Trailhead building)  Enjoy formal entertainment at the Casino Building  Catch some flying fish at night

Intro

From page 24

the Conservancy manages, though, is beyond the “metropolis” of Avalon – where trails will introduce you (or re-introduce you) to natural elements you won’t otherwise see anywhere else. (Could you, for example, name all of the animals native and specific to Catalina Island?)

New to this year’s special issue on Catalina will be a feature on William Wrigley. The business magnate bought the island, sight unseen, in 1919 –

 Take a zip line eco tour  Walk “in the clouds” at Aerial Adventure  Dive into the water at Casino Point Dive Park  Play a round of miniature golf  Play a round of real golf  Have desert at Scoops, Catalina Island  Relax at Descanso Beach Club  Take a food tour of Avalon’s restaurants  Take a guided UFO tour  Boat around the island  Check out the Civil War barracks at Two Harbors  Unwind at Banning House in Two Harbors (no WiFi, TVs or Radios)  Try a Buffalo Milk Cocktail  Play disc golf  Take a Safari Bus tour of the island  Take a biofuel Hummer Tour of the island  Hike along the Trans-Catalina Trail  Camp at any of the island’s official campgrounds  Go mountain biking  Rent a golf cart  Rent a palapa at Harbor Sands (Two Harbors) *- partial list

meaning this year is the 100-year anniversary of the man who forever altered the course of Avalon and Catalina.

Also be sure to look for the usual suspects in this issue: a calendar of events, list of things to do and references for boaters to rely upon for each visit to the island.

Times might be a-changing at Catalina Island, but the landmass twenty-some miles away from Los Angeles is still the place to be for boaters. We hope you find this special edition as a point of information and insightful resource.

Conservancy’s gateway for adventures throughout Catalina’s wildlands. Visit to learn more about the Island’s rich natural history, board an Eco Tour, enjoy a meal at Toyon Grill by Bluewater, host a special event or shop one of the Island’s most unique selections of retail items.

Several Avalon businesses come under new ownership Catalina Island Inn, El Galleon, Mi Casita and Hermosa Hotel & Cottages all switch hands.

By Parimal M. Rohit

Parimal M. Rohit photo

AVALON—Two hotels and two restaurants in Avalon are under new ownership, according to the Catalina Island Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau. Four new businesses, meanwhile, will be opening its doors to Avalon residents and visitors in the not too distant future.

Ownership Changes El Galleon, which has been on the island for more than 50 years, switched ownership in May and is now owned by Bluewater Grill. Expect a more streamlined menu (see separate article on El Galleon, page 30). Karaoke, however, will still be a regular feature at El Galleon.

Also under new ownership is Mi Casita, the Mexican restaurant at the southeast corner of the boardwalk.

“New owners Juanita and Adilene Casillas plan to bring a new authenticity to the restaurant, adding dishes from their hometowns of Jalostotilan & Cañadas de Oregon, Jalisco, to the menu in the next few months,” a statement released by the Chamber of Commerce said. “Plans also include a new emphasis on hospitality and Mexican culture.”

Catalina Island Inn, meanwhile, is now owned by Pacifica Host Hotels, owners of the Holiday Inn Resort Catalina Island. Pacifica Host Hotels has 25 years of experience on Catalina Island.

McKinney Capital, a San Diegobased investment company, is the new owner of Hermosa Hotel & Cottages.

“The new owners plan to renovate the historic property, including updating all the rooms as well as the lobby,” according to the Chamber of

A few businesses in Avalon are officially under new ownership. There are also a handful of new businesses in town, such as NDMK, a new seafood restaurant on Crescent Avenue.

Commerce statement’s on the new ownership.

New Businesses Avalon will soon be home to four news businesses, such as NDMK, a seafood restaurant on Crescent Avenue.

It’ll be one of the first restaurants you see as you leave the ferry terminal area and arrive at the boardwalk.

Other new shops coming to Avalon are: Golden Bay Surf Shop, Catalina Pottery & Tile Co. and Rustic Lantern.

The Log will have more information on these new businesses as they open.

Other Notable Updates Two new events are coming to Catalina Island. Groove Island, a techno dance party, arrives on the island in fall, and Otillo-California SwimRun 2020 arrives on Catalina next year. The swim-run competition holds court in Europe and will be making its

North American debut when it comes to the island.

Several other businesses in Avalon either welcomed a few additions or made a few renovations.

The management team at 3 Palms Arcade added a full bar to the site.

Hotel Atwater will re-open to the public on Aug. 11 after an extensive renovation (see article, page 29), while Catalina Vacation Rentals and Catalina Island Real Estate announced they moved into a new office at 212 Catalina Avenue.

Also re-opening is Zane Grey Pueblo, the hotel named after the Western novelist. Zane Grey Pueblo is undergoing an “extensive renovation” and expansion to “enhance the former home” of Zane Grey, according to the Chamber of Commerce. The hotel is expected to re-open in a few months.

The owners of Island Threadz, an apparel shop, announced they extensively renovated the store. Added to the store is a section offering Cubs gear,

associated with the baseball’s time on the island.

Joe’s Rent-a-Boat now has a retail shop to its Avalon Pleasure Pier storefront.

Of course you can make your way to Avalon to check out these businesses via boat, shuttle, private charter or helicopter.

Catalina Express recently renovated and improved its “Catalina Jet.” Those heading to Avalon or Two Harbors via Catalina Express can make port out of Dana Point, Long Beach or San Pedro.

The express has 30 daily departures.

Another ferry service is the Newport Flyer out of Newport Beach, which is operated by Catalina Passenger Service.

IEX Helicopters offers helicopter service to the island; the helicopter ride is 15 minutes long and offered on-demand from San Pedro or Long Beach.

The helicopter service drops you off at Pebbly Beach Heliport, which is just southeast of the city.

Catalina Island is home to some truly amazing native animal species – buffalos not included

Courtesy of National Park Service

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

CATALINA ISLAND—Catalina and animals lovers might know about the bison that were introduced onto the island (it’s a big draw, especially the “Buffalo Milk” cocktails). Not as many might be aware of the native species and subspecies, also known as endemic, have evolved with Catalina Island. Catalina Island boasts more than 40 native animal and plant species – when thinking about it, that’s a lot of spectacular nature for a small place! Here are some of the island’s endemic and scarce creatures.

Santa Catalina Island Fox: The island fox, known by its species name as Urocyon littoralis catalinae, might be among the most beloved of the island’s native critters. One of these scrappy foxes made headlines when photos of him were shown every year during a research gathering session. His captor – all in the name of science of course – commented on the funny personality of the male fox, who he’s seen each year. The Log also covered a story about the reunion of a mother-daughter pair.

Catalina Island Conservancy does much to protect these animals, which are endangered.

Catalina Island Conservative Twitter (@CIConservancy) photo

Everyone knows about the buffalo, err, bison, but have you ever wondered about the not-so-well-known endemic creatures?

Catalina Island’s foxes are certainly stars of the island. The Catalina Island Conservancy has gone to great lengths to help protect them.

Santa Catalina Island Shrew: Sorex ornatus willetti, known commonly as the Santa Catalina Island Shrew, is certainly a funny looking little critter.

An elusive animal, only 15 sightings of this shrew have been seen between 1941 and 2003. In 2004, 21 shrews were captured, but further research has not been conducted. Are these little guys just good hiders or are they on the verge of extinction?

Catalina California Quail: Deemed a “species of special concern” by Catalina Island Conservancy, the Catalina California Quail is a subspecies of the California Quail found in all over the Pacific region. They have been introduced to Chile, New Zealand and other places as well.

Alright, bald eagles are not native to the island … but where else in Southern California can you spot these spectacular birds nesting in their natural surroundings?

California’s coast, but the Catalina subspecies do not migrate – and who could blame them?

The American Bald Eagle also nests on the island. However, in years past these majestic birds emblematic of America’s “land of the brave,” have become endangered.

A Note on Protecting the Animals Catalina Island Conservancy advises, “Please note that wildlife on Catalina Island, as in all wildlands, can

cause serious injury and even death.

Please do not approach or harass wildlife and always maintain a safe distance.”

While these animals are beautiful in their own right, they are also wild. Try to respect them when you’re visiting just as you would another person. If you would like to learn more about these animals, just hope on one of the many eco-tours or visit the Catalina Island Conservancy.

CATALINA ISLAND—Hidden by the fog, Wrigley laid his eyes on Catalina Island the first time from a steamship with his wife Ada and son Philip in 1919. Wrigley had bought stock in the island sight unseen – in fact, Wrigley did not know that the island had a mountainous terrain leading him to say, “My goodness, it’s a mountain. I thought it was flat.”

In American culture, the Wrigleys’ legacy is one that stands for a dream conquered. The Wrigleys made millions starting with chewing gum. The rise of his entrepreneurial endeavor led to the purchase of two spectacular buys, which would eventually merge together: Catalina Island and the Chicago Cubs. Even today, it’s not unusual to come across a Cubs fan on the island.

If not for the Wrigleys, it is hard to imagine if Catalina Island ever would have been catapulted to the iconic reputation it has today as so much of what the island’s known for – the Casino, Mt. Ada, Catalina Country Club, Airport in the Sky, and so much more – is a result of their imprint.

The year 2019 marks the centennial of when Wrigley purchased nearly every share of Santa Catalina Island Company. Today, Catalina Island Company is still owned by descendants of Wrigley. The Log recently published a Catalina Column about Rusack Vineyards, yet another venture by Alison Wrigley Rusack and her husband; the property of the vineyard was once an Arabian horse ranch.

Wrigley’s son, Philip, famously deeded most of the island to Catalina Island Conservancy, a nonprofit with a mission to steward and protect Catalina’s unique ecosystem, in 1975.

One hundred years later, the island still celebrates this very special turning point in its history. If you’re planning a trip to Catalina this year, be sure to check out some of the memorable events that will be taking place. Here’s an overview of a few.

Mt. Ada Named for Wrigley’s wife, Mt. Ada is a must-see and the food is some of the best you can find on Catalina.

When this reporter took a tour in 2018, a guide said Wrigley sent out scouts to pinpoint the best view of Avalon Harbor – they did not disappoint.

Without a doubt dining on the patio of the Wrigley’s home, which is now an exclusive bed and breakfast, is one of

the most breathtaking scenes on the entire California coast. Catalina Island Company is providing an exclusive tour, which includes Mt. Ada and a narrated tour of the Casino’s Avalon Theatre – one of the first cinemas designed to show “talkies” as film departed from the silent era. For an extra cost, guests can enjoy a three course meal with a choice of wine, beer, sparkling wine or mimosas and can try the Platation Vegetable Soup – a special menu item for the centennial.

The origins of the “Buffalo Milk” cocktail at Two Harbors “Buffalo Milk” Cocktail

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

TWO HARBORS—Harbor Reef Restaurant & Saloon are the only place (other than the General Store) to have a bite to eat. A popular drink there (and now, the island’s signature drink available in Avalon as well) is the Buffalo Milk cocktail, a kind of island-style White Russian.

The buffalos (bison) came to Catalina for the filming of a movie inspired by author Zane Grey, but they never left and are now considered one of the major sight-seeing attractions.

Hence the Buffalo Milk cocktail’s conception sometime in the 70s.

An article by KCET revealed the recipe for a Buffalo Milk cocktail, which some might be surprised (or relieved) to find doesn’t actually have real buf-

Renovated Hotel Atwater to re-open, well ahead of 100th birthday Avalon’s oldest hotel opens its doors once again on Aug. 11.

AVALON—A slice of Avalon history is undergoing a facelift, the final touches of which are being completed as this very story is being written. Hotel Atwater, the oldest remaining hotel in Avalon, will re-open to the public on Aug. 11, after several months of being under construction. The hotel went under the knife for renovations last year – and the renovated lodging home is finally set to be unveiled all over again.

Next month’s re-opening means Hotel Atwater will have a polished new look ahead of its 100th birthday; the iconic hotel opened in 1920 and was named after Helen Atwater Wrigley,

ushered in “a new era for Catalina Island as a popular getaway for everyone from Hollywood’s elite to hardworking mainlanders looking to escape

their hectic lives.”

Catalina Island Company’s website on the Hotel Atwater redevelopment stated the renovated lodging destination will feature “fresh ambiance” and “modern amenities.”

Highlighting the one-bedroom suites, for example, are king beds, 1.5 baths, living room, bar and desk space. Standard rooms, meanwhile, are equipped with either a king- or queen-size bed. All rooms will have a Smart TV, modern bathroom and refrigerators.

The main lobby is being redone, as well. Also featured in the hotel is a ground-floor meeting space.

Hotel Atwater is located at 125 Sumner Avenue in Downtown Avalon, roughly one block away from the harbor and waterfront. Call the hotel at 877-778-8322 for information on reservations and rates.

Life With Lolo: Catalina’s Only Barber Stars as Himself in Catalina Story Project Documentary

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

School and went to Long Beach City College. Eventually, he transferred to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

Cutting hair was not initially his permanent career choice, he told The OC Register in 2015. Saldana carried his love for baseball into college, where he pursued playing professional. From 1952 until 1954, Saldana was stationed in Germany and when he returned to California he found work as a barber in Long Beach. When he came back to the island, he opened his shop in 1955 and has had it ever since.

An avid volunteer over many years and a sports lover, The Catalina Islander penned that he had even played gold with a 5-year-old Tiger Woods. The article also goes on to state that Saldana says in the film, “You can’t take from Catalina, you have to give something back,” expressing the desire to give back to the community he was raised in and to protect “paradise.”

AVALON—Catalina has hosted some of the most recognized stars of the silver screen, such as Marilyn Monroe and John Wayne, but what would it be without its local heroes, too? Eliodoro Saldaña, most commonly known as “Lolo the Barber,” is one of those icons of the island.

Saldana owns Catalina’s only barber shop called Lolo’s Plaza Barber Shop, but he has been a local celebrity for a long time. On July 3, after this paper goes to the printer, Saldana will have celebrated his 90th birthday in a way not many get to – with a film premiere about his life. Saldana stars in a film titled “Lolo and the Barbershop,” which will open at Catalina Island Museum on the same date as his birthday. The film is the third is a series called Catalina Story Project sponsored by Story Bank Productions.

Born in 1929 on Catalina, Saldana lived through part of the years when William Wrigley owned Catalina Island Company, World War II when the island was under military control, and, of course, is a Chicago Cubs fan. Saldana has fond memories of attending Cub games in his youth, according to news outlets that have covEliodoro “Lolo” Saldana has owned his barber shop, Lolo’s ered his life.

At this time, there is no word on whether the film will continue to screen at Ackerman Family Amphitheater at Catalina Island Museum. The screening, which took place from 7-9 p.m., was $10 for

AVALON—When the Chicago Cubs won their first World Series in 2016, after a 108-year dry spell, Catalina Island’s Chimes Towers played “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” amid cheers.

Spring training for the team took place on the island from 1921-1941 when World War II broke out and then from 1946-1951, which ties Catalina with the Cubs forever. Even in 2018, Wrigley Field announced the addition of the “Catalina Club” – fans weren’t exactly thrilled about the price hike, but it happened nonetheless. However, there’s another connection to a young sports announcer, who grew up in Illinois, and would eventually end up in the Oval Office.

Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, was a sports announcer between 1932 and 1937.

He’s one of four United States presidents that have visited the island – Warren G. Harding would have been fifth, but he died a week before his trip.

Reagan was hired as a sportscaster early in his career at the rate of $10 a game, eventually making $75 a week as an announcer at WOC, based out of Iowa. In the late twenties/early thirties, according to an inflation estimator, $10 would be equivalent of approximately $146 to $170 in 2019. During

times teetering between The Great Depression and World War II, that would have been a small fortune considering this reporter’s great-grandfather made $1 a week as a railroad worker, laboring seven days a week, rain or shine.

By the time Reagan was announcing for the Cubs during spring training, he was making $200 a week.

While working in California, this is when Ronald Reagan was a WHO radio announcer in Des Moines, Iowa from 1933 until 1937. He announced Chicago Cubs games and that took him Reagan also to Catalina Island where the Cubs played during spring training. lined up his debut film role as – of course – a radio announcer in the 1937 film “Love Catalina Island, just imagine – perbegun his career as an actor? is on the Air.” If not for the Cubs and haps, Ronald Reagan would never have

AVALON—The city of Avalon is constantly changing and evolving into a tourist destination, many veteran visitors of this Catalina Island town will tell you. Quite a bit has changed since The Log’s last Catalina issue, which published on July 13, 2018. Hotel Atwater, for example, is on the verge of being completely remodeled and Mr. Ning’s, the island’s only Chinese restaurant, permanently closed down. The ownership group behind Bluewater Grill, meanwhile, expanded its presence in Avalon, opening Toyon Grill at Catalina Island Conservancy’s Trailhead Building (the building also a new addition in the past year).

Oh, and the restaurant group, which launched its first Bluewater property in Newport Beach, took over El Galleon, an iconic Mexican restaurant on Crescent Avenue.

The Log Staff Writer Devon WarrenKachelein recently wrote about Bluewater’s acquisition of El Galleon – the eatery first opened in 1967 and is a draw due to its location on the waterfront boardwalk. Many custom-

ers come to the restaurant to sing karaoke, select food from its eclectic menu and dine within an eclectic atmosphere.

Bluewater’s ownership group stated they would maintain El Galleon on the boardwalk but make a few updates to the restaurant. The interior will be updated and menu simplified to include ribs, steaks, chicken, locally sourced fish, sandwiches and burgers.

Karaoke, El Galleon, one of the longest operating Mexican restaurants in Avalon, is officially under new ownership, as Bluewater Grill took over happy hour operations in May. A few changes will be in store but the overall character of the restaurant will remain intact, according to the new specials and owners. seasonal holiday parties are expected to remain in tact, according to the to create Toyon Grill at the former’s events and weddings.

Catalina’s country club is a romantic setting, but also holds a place in the heart of baseball and golfing yesteryear.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

CATALINA ISLAND—When the Wrigleys owned Catalina Island Company, there was an ambitious plan for infrastructure. The sleepy, tourist destination became an exciting hotspot for celebrities, beckoning one of the most iconic times in the island’s history. There are many luxurious attractions to check out – many of them due to the Wrigleys’ time – but yet another special place to visit in Catalina Island Country Club.

The country club was the original clubhouse for the Cubs when they practiced during spring training for 30 years from 1921-1951 with a break in between when the military occupied the island in World War II. For avid Cubs fans, the field is no longer there, but nearby the Country Club is a plaque. The original bar is full of baseball memorabilia honoring the team.

Lockers located in Catalina Island Country Club, while once used by the Cubs’ players, were also used for golfers playing the green. The golf course began at a nine-hole course, but in 1929 was expanded to 18 holes.

Catalina’s golf course has hosted some of the best professional golfers over the years including Bobby Jones. For more than 20 years, The Bobby Jones Golf Tournament was a major draw for golfers.

Architecture buffs will also be charmed by the Early California Revival style, which has a romantic touch.

DutchSail drops out of America’s Cup; second U.S. team remains LOG NEWS SERVICE—DutchSail, the late challenger from the Netherlands for the 36th America’s Cup advised the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron on July 1 they were withdrawing from the 36th America’s Cup. Despite having received such strong backing from the local marine industry and interest from a number of commercial entities they said that they have decided the clock has wound down for them to launch an effective challenge for the cup in 2021.

Dutch Sail said in a release the time factor played a dominant role in the decision of the DutchSail board. Not only the time pressure played, but also the timing of the sponsorship and fundraising fell unhappy in the year.

‘Time is out’ was the announcement by managing director Eelco Blok to Team New Zealand, the defender of the America’s Cup. Not without great thanks for the patience and cooperation that the organizers have brought up in Auckland to allow the ‘late entry’ from the Netherlands the opportunity to participate.

Former America’s Cup champion Simeon Tienpont, the driving force behind the Dutch challenge, remains militant: “We were very close. In recent months, a wonderful foundation has

been laid under DutchSail for participation in the America’s Cup. We will follow the 36th edition very closely and then be ready for the next edition.”

DutchSail joins Malta Altus Challenge, another late challenger, in dropping out of the 36th America’s Cup. The other late challenger, Long Beach Yacht Club’s – Stars + Stripes Team USA – confirmed on June 29 their ongoing commitment.

In a press statement LBYC Commodore Camille Daniels said: “Long Beach Yacht Club is committed to making the start line at the first America’s Cup World Series Event in Cagliari, Italy, our membership is excited and we are all working hard to achieve our goal of bringing the America’s Cup to Long Beach.”

With the withdrawal of DutchSail five teams remain, the defender New Zealand and four challengers – Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, INEOS Team UK, American Magic NYYC and Stars + Stripes Team USA. The 36th America’s Cup Match will take place in Auckland, New Zealand March 6 to 21, 2021. The defender – Emirates Team New Zealand – will race against the winner of the Prada Cup, the Challenger Selection Series, in a best of 13 (first to seven points).

Southern California fishing news

Harbor Breeze out of San Pedro earns favorable jury verdict against Newport Landing, Davey’s Locker, Ocean Explorer and Freelance Sportfishing.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—A civil jury has found Newport Landing Sportfishing, and others, guilty of making false or misleading statements of fact in commercial advertising, according to court documents shared with The Log and FishRap. The false advertising verdict was deemed to be deceitful to a “substantial segment” of the sportfishing and whale watching audience, the jury determined.

Davey’s Locker, Ocean Explorer and Freelance Sportfishing were also named as defendants in the lawsuit.

Harbor Breeze, a sportfishing

and whale watching company in Los Angeles, had sued Newport Landing on several false advertising claims.

“Every single whale watching and sportfishing company from San Diego to Santa Barbara is forced to vigorously compete with Defendants (Newport Landing and others) for ticket sales, as a result of Defendants’ online false advertisements,” the Harbor Breeze complaint stated.

“Defendants are a series of commonly owned and operated companies which have come together in a conspiracy and employ a sophisticated, multifaceted scheme to mislead consumers both online and in person,” the complaint continued. “Defendants employ hundreds, if not thousands, of websites in an effort to dominate Internet search results and third-party vendors like Groupon. Defendants’ further falsely advertise in print media and in person.”

SANTA BARBARA—Anglers aboard Stardust out of Santa Barbara had a good mix of catches during a three-quarter-day jaunt on June 28. The 40 anglers returned to the Central California coast with a variety of 424 fish.

“Heading in from a three-quarter-day,” the captain of Stardust reported on June 28. “We had good fishing some spots definitely a bit better than others, along with nice coastal weather and conditions.

We had a mix of all kinds of rockfish, whitefish and lingcod.”

The 40 anglers specifically caught 372 rockfish, 42 whitefish and 10 lingcod. Two anglers here pose with one of those 10 lingcod.

A three-quarter-day trip on June 29 also had 40 anglers; they returned to shore with 320 rockfish, 38 whitefish and two lingcod.

The June 30 three-quarter-day fishing expedition had 36 anglers catching 241 rockfish and four lingcod.

Four sportfishing landings found guilty of false advertising

Harbor Breeze earned a jury verdict against some of its competitors on June 25; the verdict found Newport Landing, Davey’s Locker, Ocean Explorer and Freelance Sportfishing made false or misleading statements in their advertisements for fishing excursions or whale watching.

Waterfront Cruises, accused Newport Landing, Davey’s Locker, Ocean Explorer and Freelance of making false statements to consumers – primarily sportfishing or whale watching customers – about their location.

“Defendants exploit a number of websites that falsely represent that they offer cruises departing from every single major harbor in Southern California. This is false, as Defendants offer cruises departing only from Newport Beach,” the complaint stated.

The defendants were also accused of making “material misrepresentations” about ticket prices.

“Defendants advertise ticket prices online for as low as $9, in many cases with no representation that any fees will be added on top of the advertised price. In fact, Defendants always charge additional, hidden fees from the price advertised, sometimes doing so even after a ticket is purchased and a customer has no ability to obtain a refund. Once all additional, hidden fees are added into the price of a ticket, the price spikes by as much as 21 percent from the advertised price, and potentially more,” the complaint stated.

Some of the added fees, according to the complaint, were for fuel surcharge and wharfage.

The jury ultimately determined Newport Landing was guilty on five questions: • Did Newport Landing make a false

or misleading statement of fact in a commercial advertisement?

• Did Harbor Breeze prove Newport Landing’s false statement (or statements) “actually deceived or had the tendency to deceive a substantial segment of their audience?”

• Did Harbor Breeze prove Newport Landing’s deception was “material, in that it is likely to influence the purchasing decisions of their audience?”

• Did Harbor Breeze prove Newport Landing “caused their false statement to enter interstate commerce?”

• Did Harbor Breeze prove the statements of Newport Landing (and, potentially, others) “caused or is likely to cause damage” to Harbor Breeze?

• The jury answered “yes” to each of the five questions above; the jury, however, awarded $0 in damages and answered “no” to the following three questions: • Did Harbor Breeze “engage in false advertising regarding their location?”

• Did Harbor Breeze “engage in false advertising regarding their fees?”

• Did Harbor Breeze “post false reviews on the internet?”

The jury verdict was issued on June 25. The Log and FishRap will review and report on the effects of this jury verdict in the July 26 issue.

hook with no leader and he said he backed off on the drag while the fish was jumping around to try and avoid being broken off by abrasion from the fish’s bill. Woodard said it was a very small marlin of around 60 pounds and he thought they might have a chance to catch and release it when the hookup survived the first several minutes of the fish jumping around. Unfortunately the abrasion from the bill wore through the 30-pound test line and the fish was lost after a 6 minute hookup.

The fishing along the San Diego County coast remains good for a mix of calico bass, sand bass, reds, rockfish, sculpin and whitefish along with an occasional flurry of barracuda action and an occasional bonus yellowtail, halibut or lingcod.

The best zone at a chance for some barracuda action has been in the area of the Whistler Buoy off Point Loma and along the edges of the Point Loma Kelp Beds. The Point Loma Kelp Beds have also been producing some surface fishing action for calico bass. The yellowtail fishing along the coast has been slow with La Jolla being the best zone to try and scratch out a coastal yellowtail. Reports from La Jolla are that there have been occasional small spots of yellowtail were reportedly seen under working birds outside of the upper end.

In addition to the Point Loma Kelp Beds, calico bass have also been active and biting in several other kelp bed areas along the San Diego County coast that include the kelp beds off the upper and the upper middle part of La Jolla and the kelp beds by the Barn and San Onofre.

Capt. Joe Cacciola of Sea Star with Sea Star Sportfishing and the Oceanside Sea Center also reported finding good calico bass while fishing kelp bed areas between Carlsbad and Solana Beach. Cacciola reported the best baits for the calicos have been anchovies and Hookup Bait plastics and he suggests using a 0.25-ounce split shot when fishing an anchovy if you are having a hard time getting the bait away from the boat.

Productive rockfish areas off the San Diego County coast include the International Reef, the Imperial Beach Pipeline, hard bottom areas in the region of the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma, the Point Loma Pipeline, the Green Tank, The 270 to the west of Mission Bay, the upper end of La Jolla, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Leucadia, South Carlsbad and Box Canyon.

There are some tuna biting now but once these fish change their habits a bit and start biting better there are enough fish around that we could be in for some epic tuna fishing! Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!

Bob Vanian is the voice, writer and researcher of the San Diego-based internet fish report service called 976-Bite which can be found at www.976bite.com.

Kiss YourKatch

CDFW photo

And you could win a pair of Black Flys Sunglasses

California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife staff is informing anglers to be aware of whom they buy their licenses from. Some places are selling bogus licenses.

Kiss and Release – Tim Stack, while on vacation in Avalon with his wife (not pictured) and children, Sydney and Andy, plants one on his calico bass catch before releasing it back into the harbor.

Fish and Wildlife warns anglers of bogus license sales Some unauthorized websites are charging extra fees and collecting sensitive personal information, state officials warn.

By Parimal M. Rohit STATEWIDE—California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued a warning, on July 8: anglers and hunters should beware of websites selling fishing and hunting licenses at higher prices. These unauthorized transactions also collect sensitive personal information.

Anglers are reminded licenses are available for sale through one of four means: at a Department of Fish and Wildlife license sales office; independent sales agent such as a local sporting goods store, large discount store or bait and tackle shop; Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Automated License Data System, or ALDS; or, over the telephone, via the department’s authorized sales agent. Call 800-565-1459 for telephone sales.

“The ALDS, which is CDFW’s exclusive means of online license sales, was launched in 2011,” Department of Fish and Wildlife staff stated. “ALDS can be accessed via CDFW’s website or by clicking the link that is frequently provided in official communications from the department.

“When making an online purchase, please check the URL of the site you are visiting to ensure you are on the official CDFW website (www.wildlife. ca.gov) or the ALDS website (www. ca.wildlifelicense.com/internetsales),” Department of Fish and Wildlife staff continued. “These are the only CDFWaffiliated links for hunting and fishing license sales.”

The department’s staff added there are several unofficial websites out there, presenting themselves as California Department of Fish and Wildlife, or CDFW. These websites often provide information about

fishing licenses and don’t always come up at the top of Google or other search engine results.

“Please be cautious when providing personal information to any website.

While authorized purchases made through independent license sales agents and ALDS are subject to an additional 5 percent handling fee, the fraudulent sales websites offer products for sale with ‘shipping and handling fees’ that are much higher than 5 percent of the base purchase price,” Department of Fish and Wildlife staff stated.

“To date, it appears that the fraudulent activity has been limited to charging customers unauthorized fees,” Department of Fish and Wildlife staff continued. “Licenses that have been mailed to customers after unauthorized transactions may be valid; however, CDFW cannot guarantee that this is or will be true in all cases.”

Do you believe you were defrauded by an unauthorized website? Would you like to double check whether one of your previous purchases was indeed valid? Reach out to the Department of Fish and Wildlife at ReportFraud@ wildlife.ca.gov and, in your message, describe your experience and provide as much relevant information as possible.
