The useful life of the vessel that served as a working classroom for students and visitor is officially rendered over.

By Parimal M. Rohit DANA POINT—One of the most iconic visuals at Dana Point Harbor is no more, as Pilgrim, the resident tall ship at the Ocean Institute dock, keeled in her slip overnight, it was announced on March 29. Pilgrim’s useful life was rendered over, as a result.

Pilgrim, which measured 98 feet in length and had a beam of 24.6 feet, arrived in Dana Point as a replica in 1981.

The original Pilgrim was built in 1825 – at the cost of $50,000, or about $1.14 million today. A historical narrative of Pilgrim shared by the Ocean Institute pointed out the merchant ship had navigated from Boston to California in 1834 to sell or trade various wares – foodstuffs, ironware, shoes, etc. The original Pilgrim regularly docked in San Juan Bay – which is what Dana Point was known as during the 1830s.

The replica was built in 1945 in Denmark. She is a three-mast schooner, which sailed the world before docking in Dana Point to offer living history programs for thousands of students.

“We are very sad to announce that Pilgrim, our beloved vessel that has served as an inspiring re-

al-world classroom to hundreds of thousands of students and visitors, keeled overnight in her slip on our dock, rendering her useful life over,” Ocean Institute staff said about the loss of Pilgrim in a Facebook post.

Ocean Institute staff added Pilgrim was to be taken out of the water for repairs in January, but the boatyard was overbooked. The haul-out, therefore, was re-scheduled for some time in June.

“As part of our maintenance process, Pilgrim undergoes out-of-the water and underwater inspections. In 2016 she was hauled out for survey and repairs and in October 2019, we began a fund to support the haul out and repair scheduled to take place in January 2020. The haul out was postponed until June due to overload at the yard,” Ocean Institute stated in its Facebook post on March 29.

“Meanwhile, Ocean Institute maintained our certifications and the United States Coast Guard issued a Certificate of Inspection (COI) in December and again in February, allowing our dockside programs to continue. Unfortunately, Pilgrim keeled on March 29th and is incapacitated beyond repair.”

Richard Henry Dana, Jr. – the namesake of Dana Point – had mentioned Pilgrim in his novel, “Two Years Before the Mast.”

Ocean Institute staff invited people to share their experiences, interactions and stories of Pilgrim.

“We are sad to bid farewell to this iconic vessel which has been such an important part of Ocean Institute’s programs and to the children that they served,” Ocean Institute’s official statement continued. “Our staff was informed this morning and we

Tall ship Pilgrim keels over

Ocean Institute’s iconic tall ship, Pilgrim, had keeled over in its slip on March 29. Pilgrim was initially rendered as reaching the end of its useful life, as a result of the disaster, but there has apparently been an outpouring of support to determine whether the ship could actually be saved. all feel like we lost a dear friend, as I am sure many of you do.

New deep sea creature gets rockin’ name

By Lindsey Glasgow FRANKFURT, GERMANY — A rockin’ newly found wormlike crustacean now shares a name with arguably one of the greatest rock/heavy metal bands of all time. Macrostylis metallicola was named after the band Metallica by Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum Frankfurt, Germany researcher Dr. Torben Riehl and his colleague Dr. Bart De Smet from Ghent University in Belgium.

The researchers discovered the creature in the abyss of the northern Pacific while conducting environmental baseline studies as part of a broader en-

vironmental impact assessment for a potential future nodule extraction project. The study was published in the scientific journal PeerJ in late February.

“We’ve played on all seven continents, made it into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and now… we’re a crustacean!” the band wrote in a post on Facebook on Feb. 28.

Macrostylis metallicola inhabits the Clarion Clipperton Zone, situated roughly between Hawaii and Mexico. The eyeless and colorless creature is very tiny, growing only up to 6.5 mm long, and dwells in complete darkness. Its environ-

ment consists of manganese nodules – concretions of metallic elements several millions of years old. These contain valuable compounds, such as cobalt, copper, manganese, nickel and rare-earth elements.

“Talk about Blackened! It also lives amongst metallic nodules containing cobalt, copper, manganese, nickel, and rare-earth elements. So it basically lives in a rock stadium? Now that’s one metal crustacean,” the Metallica Facebook post went on to say. “You just never know what you’ll find ‘lurking beneath the sea.’”

“By allowing our marinas and repair facilities to continue to operate, we can offer our customers the option of being on water,” the statement said.

statement he wanted to both pay tribute to his rock idols as well as raise awareness.

BW “The continuously increasing demand for certain metals, caused by social changes such as population growth, urbanization and energy change, leads to a search for raw materials, even in parts of the world that are previously difficult to reach, such as the deep sea, which have so far been scientifically unknown,” Riehl said in a released statement. “However, hardly anyone knows that incredibly bizarre creatures exist in the great, largely undiscovered depths of the world’s oceans that no one has seen before - like our ‘Metallica Cancer’. They are part of an earth system on which we all depend - the deep sea.”

Currently, 18 states have issued shelter in place policies, requiring more than half of all Americans to stay at home unless it is necessary.

More states, such as Kentucky, Maryland and Nevada, have closed non-essential businesses, and issued only verbal recommendations for people to stay home.

Boaters urged to not visit Two Harbors

The recommended changes increase the maximum time use on the west side of dock from three hours to 24 hours; the north side of the dock from 20 minutes to three hour maximum use; and decrease the maximum time use on east side of the dock from three hours to 20 minutes.

Time changes coming to Newport’s 19th Street Public Dock The Harbor Commission in March approved a staff recommendation to change the times on the public dock, making the longest section available for a greater length of time.

By Lindsey Glasgow NEWPORT BEACH — Time adjustments have been approved for Newport Beach’s 19th Street Public Dock. The Harbor Department proposed the changes, which include moving the 20-minute zone to the eastern edge and making the longest section available for up to three hours.

Currently, the maximum time designations for use of the dock are 83 linear feet for tie-ups not to exceed 20 minutes, 45 linear feet for tie-ups not to exceed three hours and 88 linear feet for tie-ups not to exceed 72 hours. The recommended changes reassign approximately 31 linear feet on the west side of dock from three hours to 24 hour maximum use; reassign approximately 83 linear feet on the north side of the dock from 20 minutes to three hour maximum use; and reassign approximately 21 linear feet on the east side of the dock from three hours to 20 minute maximum use. The Harbor Commission approved the recommendation at their March 11 meeting.

According to a staff report, the 19th Street Public Dock is one of the most heavily trafficked short-term docking locations in the harbor. It is located near the J and H mooring fields and adjacent to a public beach, a large residential neighborhood, and various nearby com-

mercial services and retail stores.

Three of the primary stakeholder groups that utilize this dock are liveaboard permittees, commercial and recreational mooring permittees and short-term sub-permittees, who are staying overnight aboard their vessels under the allowable conditions in Title 17 of the City’s Municipal Code.

A staff report stated Harbor Department staff learned during discussions with members of these groups, as well as feedback received at recent Harbor Visioning meetings, that the current dock time designations do not adequately address those user’s needs, which include docking a dinghy in order to go ashore for work-shifts, docking for extended appointments and docking for day-trips or recreational activities.

Harbor users reported they often find the 72-hour area fully occupied. According to the staff report, this results in the hypothetical boater who has an eight to 12 hour docking need to make use of the three hour time zone, intentionally overstaying in that designated area, resulting in a cascading effect, limiting space available for those intending to use the dock for three hours or less.

“The new arrangement is supported by findings of a study done on Public Pier use and what amenities boaters most want to access when they come ashore,” Harbor Commission Chair Paul Blank said in an email.

City policy authorizes the harbormaster to post dock markings or signs limiting the time during which a vessel may be tied up or secured to maintain such facilities in a manner that will permit the greatest public use and avoid continuous occupancy, congestion or blocking thereof. Staff will actively monitor the modified zones assessing over time if the change results in improved utilization.

What Happened: The Catalina Island Company has asked the local and regional boating community to not visit Two Harbors or the island’s West End during the COVID-19 crisis. Only permanent residents of Two Harbors would be permitted to be in town.

“The healthcare facilities on Catalina lack the capacity to handle a widespread outbreak of COVID-19,” Catalina Island Company staff said in a statement emailed to The Log. “This is even more challenging for the small, remote community of Two Harbors.”

Catalina Island Company staff added anyone visiting the island in general could be jeopardizing lives.

“Health and government officials are recommending social distancing, and while Catalina might seem like the perfect place for that, the reality is that visiting us right now risks lives,” Catalina Island Company staff said in a released statement. “Services across all of Catalina are extremely limited. Specifically, in the Two Harbors area, Banning House Lodge and Villas, Harbor Reef restaurant, all campgrounds and other public spaces are temporarily closed due to state and county-mandated orders.”

Boat service to and from Two Harbors aboard Catalina Express were temporarily halted after Sunday, March 22.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a State at Home order on March 19. Catalina Island Company staff said they are following the order by notifying existing mooring lessees and yacht clubs not to visit the island or utilize moorings. The company is also discouraging people who are already moored in the Two Harbors area from coming ashore. All boaters who are seeking transient moorings are recommended to return to the mainland.

“Due to the State at Home Order, there are limited dive services available to assist boaters in emergency situations,” Catalina Island Company staff continued.

“This is a difficult message to send, but

we are asking that you respect our community and our request to stay home for now. We’ll all be able to enjoy the island again soon rather than later if we all pull together and do the right things during this health crisis.”

Port of San Diego cooperates with cruise lines during COVID-19 pandemic What Happened: The Port of San Diego announced it worked with several cruise lines to minimize exposure of COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Four cruise lines – Regent Seven Seas, Holland America Line, Disney Cruise Line and Celebrity Eclipse – docked at the Port of San Diego between March 12 and 27.

Port district staff stated the B Street cruise terminal was cleaned and disinfected before and after each ship disembarkation. Extra hand sanitizers were installed in the terminal.

“No ship has or will be allowed into San Diego Bay without first being cleared by medical authorities and no new sailings have begun or will begin out of San Diego Bay until at least mid-April,” port district staff said in a released statement.

All cruise passengers who arrived at the Port of San Diego were advised to go home, self-quarantine for 14 days, practice social distancing and monitor their health.

Jon

RE: “Port of San Diego weighs in on potential arrival of Top Golf at Harbor Island” (March 6-19) This is a terrible idea, and an unbelievably poor utilization of premium waterfront real estate. San Diego enjoys a robust maritime economy: recreational boating, sportfishing, shipping, excursions, etc.

Not another square foot of the disappearing shoreline should be utilized for anything that doesn’t contribute directly to these industries. While it would be nice to welcome Top Golf

into the San Diego community, it is hard to believe that anyone would think that carving out prime acreage on the northern bay for folks to hit golf balls is a good idea. If the developers want to enhance an area with a trendy recreational facility, put it in the rundown Midway District, or carve out a piece of the Qualcomm stadium land - but leave the waterfront development to people with a vision for maritime best-use!

COVID-19: We will get through this together We’re all affected by the quarantine, Stay at Home orders, health scares and, in some cases, deaths. There are, however, positive takeaways for us to continue observing once this whole thing is over.

By Parimal M. Rohit SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — Let me first start off by saying I am thankful and grateful to have written and edited for this upstanding publication for nearly six years. Sharing news, feature stories and other journalistic items with you since the summer of 2014 has been a pleasant experience.

I have grown so much, both as a person and a writer, during my time here – and I certainly

hope my words and editorial direction have touched your lives in some way.

Being able to put together a newspaper these past two weeks has made me even more appreciative. We are in unprecedented times. A global pandemic is claiming lives, costing jobs and forcing all of us to alter our behaviors in ways we never imagined possible. Odds are we know someone who either tested positive for COVID19 or died because of the virus.

The COVID-19 pandemic has definitely affected The Log – we’re currently running on a skeleton crew. Journalism’s state of affairs during the past five to 10 years has already made it difficult to manage a print publication.

COVID-19 has forced meetings to be postponed and events to be canceled, making it even harder for our small staff to bring you the great content we’ve been delivering to you twice a month.

I am writing this column on March 28, still in the thick of California’s Stay at Home orders. It’s See OP ED page 7

FAST FACTS

Balboa-to-Catalina: First water-to-water flight

By Parimal M. Rohit NEWPORT BEACH — The man credited with the first-ever flight within the state of California is also the first person to have piloted a plane across the Catalina Channel.

Glenn Luther Martin, who piloted a 12-second flight in California in August 1909, flew from Newport Beach to Catalina Island in May 1912.

Martin’s flight, at the time, was one for the record books: not only was it the first-ever flight to Catalina Island, it was also, at the time, the longest air navigation over open ocean.

Orange County’s history books also label it as the first waterto-water flight, and the fastest over-water flight.

News coverage of the Newport Beach-to-Catalina flight said it took place on May 10, 1912. He made the flight just ahead of another aviator who planned to take to the skies from Catalina Island. That flight, which would fly from Catalina to Long Beach, was scheduled for May 11, 1912.

The return flight, which occurred the next day, was also the first-ever to carry mail from Catalina to the mainland.

The plane, a gossamer “pusher” biplane according to news reports, was built in

Santa Ana. Martin boarded the plane and took off from the south end of Main Street at Ocean Front in Newport Beach’s Balboa neighborhood.

Yes, he took off from the water.

Martin would make it to Avalon Bay on the other side, landing on the harbor’s water – with a crowd on land waiting to greet him. Total flight time was north of 30 minutes. The return trip back was about 45 minutes longer, according to The Catalina Islander.

The longest over-water flight before Martin’s took place was over the English Channel. That flight path, however, was not as long as the one Martin took from Newport Beach to Avalon, according to The Catalina Islander.

Martin would live until December 1955, and lived his final days in Baltimore, Maryland.

sunny outside as I write this – I wouldn’t even be home right now, had this been any other Saturday afternoon. I was actually supposed to be in Baltimore on this day, wrapping up a lunch at the city’s Inner Harbor before heading to Baltimore-Washington International so I could fly back to Southern California.

Instead I spent the past two weeks preparing this issue from the comforts of my home-office. Assembling this issue has given me stability and structure, helping me sustain some level of sanity amidst this insane time. And I certainly hope the stories we are sharing with you in this issue – including this here editorial – is part of your new routine, part of whatever structure you developed to help you get through these trying times.

And this is what I’d like to spend chatting about in whatever space I have left to write here. I usually use this space to give you a few resources on issues likely affecting your daily life as a boater. I’ll pen an editorial, every once in a while, on a significant topic (such as the return of Sea Magazine).

But today I want to reach out to you, not just as the editor of The Log, but as a human being. We seem to be bombarded with bad news every single day.

Please pardon me as I deviate, for once, away from boating, for the sake of having a conversation. This is me and you, strengthening our community.

The first 90 days of 2020 alone has been nothing short of a tidal wave of bad news: fires raging across Australia, the death of Kobe Bryant, and, of course, COVID-19.

It doesn’t help we’re living in such divisive times – there are still plenty people entrenched in political warfare, despite the public health threat that is COVID-19.

Through it all, I’ve actually noticed something positive – and it’s on the verge of becoming beautiful (especially if we can sustain said positivity).

Social media, broadcast news and

print publications – usually easy target for claims of fake news or germ-spreading negativity – are now common places to find phrases such as “we can get through this together” and “doing our part.” More and more people are checking in with each other, making sure we’re in good spirits and maintaining some level of sanity in a time of uncertainty.

There are lessons we can learn from this period – the COVID-19 pandemic doesn’t have to be doom-and-gloom.

Deaths, loss of work, economic hardships, daily routines disrupted – these don’t have to be the only topics on our minds during and after the pandemic. Let us use this disruption of our daily routines to remind us what’s important: we can truly get through anything when we do our best to co-exist.

These past two weeks I’ve witnessed so many people putting aside political, social or economic divisions (all of which are manufactured) and coming together. We’re supporting each other as much as we can to get through this pandemic.

Situations like this could certainly bring out the worst in us – but it can bring out the best in us, as well. And, for the most part, I believe the best of us is winning. Let’s make sure we keep on winning. Let’s put aside the toxicity of political divisions and other forms of social bickering – and use this life stoppage to recreate a new paradigm, a new world where we can civilly co-exist despite our differences.

I could go on and on, but the space in this newspaper is finite – and there is a point where beating the drum of positivity amidst chaos would eventually overwhelm and devalue the message.

Yes, these are crazy times. It’ll take months, perhaps years, for us to realize how far the ripples of the COVID19 pandemic reaches. But we can get through it, come out on the other side better than where we were when this started. But that only happens if we sustain the can-do attitude we’re all practicing today. Let’s not let COVID-19 win. Let’s always remember, we’re in this together, today and always.

LIFE;’

Three-plus decades of marine animal rescues from L. A. County boats, beaches The Marine Animal Rescue hotline gives boaters, beachgoers and the public someone to call 24-hours a day, seven days a week to report sick and injured marine animals in Los Angeles County and on Catalina Island.

Y

By Lindsey Glasgow

MARINA DEL REY — “I sent somebody down; they got a sea lion on the tug boat?” Peter Wallerstein said to a Port of Los Angeles tug boat owner who called his 24-hour hotline on a rainy Thursday morning in March.

“Yea,” the caller said.

“I have never missed a call in 35 years,” Wallerstein said sometime later after hanging up.

Wallerstein is the founder and president of Marine Animal Rescue (MAR), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization operating in Los Angeles County and Catalina Island as an emergency rescue group for sick and injured marine wildlife. Calls come in 24-hours a day, seven days a week. He’s helped boaters with sea lions on the dive step of their boats at Marina del Rey’s Burton Chace Park guest docks and helped commercial anglers in the Port of Los Angeles where skinny and hypothermic sea lions seek refuge on deck. He has also cut whales from gillnets off the coast of Palos Verdes, saved sea lions with packing straps around their necks and rescued emaciated sea lions stranded on local beaches.

Calls frequently bring him to Marina del Rey’s Burton Chace Park guest docks – a popular hangout spot for boat-

ers and sea lions alike. Calls to this area often include boaters with sea lions on boats and callers reporting a sea lion with something around their neck.

The same rainy Thursday morning in March, a large group of sea lions were lounging on the docks and Wallerstein pointed to a lethargic sea lion resting near the end of one of the docks.

“There’s a gill netted one,” Waller-

stein said.

Wallerstein said sea lions with gill nets or plastic packaging around their necks will eventually die if they are not rescued.

“We’ll eventually rescue him and he’ll be okay,” Wallerstein said.

Once an animal is rescued, it is trucked to a marine animal rehab facility in San Pedro, which treats and releases the animal.

Wallerstein encourages the public to never approach sea lions or other marine animals stranded on the beach or injured on boat docks but to contact his hotline, 800-39-WHALE for emergencies and 310-455-2729 for non-emergencies. Female sea lions typically weigh around 200 pounds, while males can reach as much as 600 pounds; both have a bite that can go down to the bone.

Wallerstein has been rescuing whales, sea lions, seals, dolphins and other marine animals since 1985. He said there was no specific organization in the county dedicated to rescuing marine animals, with the responsibility mostly falling to the county and city services, who Wallerstein said were unknowingly using harmful methods to deal with the marine animals.

“Animals were dying on the beach and I thought that was unacceptable for LA, I thought we could do better than that,” Wallerstein said.

Prior to founding MAR, Wallerstein had been working as the Pacific Director of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, an international marine wildlife conservation organization. He said the idea for MAR started when he saw a news program about whales entangled in gill nets.

“I thought it was somewhere far away and it was right off Palos Verdes and Point Dume,” Wallerstein said.

“There wasn’t a coordinated response to go out and help the animals, there was nobody doing it. So I bought a boat, bought some kitchen knives and went out there and starting cutting whales out of nets.”

One of his first calls was about a mother whale and her baby entangled in a gillnet off the coast of Palos Verdes.

He said he bought a boat, got a crew

and went out. They were eventually successful, and mother and baby swam off free.

“That rescue motivated me to start it [MAR],” Wallerstein said.

In 1985, Wallerstein founded the Whale Rescue Team, a local skilled response group for whales in Southern California that were becoming entangled in fishing gill nets, a practice that was eventually banned by the state in 1993 after thousands of marine animals were killed. He established a live 24hour toll-free hotline for reporting marine animals trapped or in distress. He then received authorization from local beach authorities to act as first responder and was granted a Letter of Authorization from the National Marine Fisheries Service to evaluate and rescue entangled marine animals. His efforts started naturally carrying over to all sick and injured marine wildlife and in 2007, Whale Rescue Team was renamed Marine Animal Rescue.

MAR’s office is based in El Segundo and Wallerstein himself, nearby, in an ocean-side RV park on Dockweiler Beach. Wallerstein said he sold his home in Topanga and moved to Dockweiler Beach to be closer to the calls. Marine Animal Rescue is stamped on the side of his RV and everything he needs to make a rescue – his 16-foot rescue boat and pickup truck – is hitched outside.

Wallerstein did, for the most part, rescues by himself for 25 years, devising the techniques to rescue the animals himself.

“Everything I know I taught myself,” Wallerstein said.

He now has a rescue team of three – Artie Wong and Brad Torsone help with rescues in Los Angeles County and Capt. Jon Council handles all the rescues on Catalina Island. They are on call 24/7.

“Sometimes I have to call them in the middle night if a sea lion crosses the street and gets somewhere - in someone’s yard or under someone’s car - I can’t tell the people we’ll be there in the morning,” Wallerstein said.

Wallerstein said lifeguards and harbor patrol are also vital partners in the operation, alerting them to injured marine animals and assisting with rescues.

Wallerstein admitted his age has slowed his ability to personally respond to every rescue. He said at some point in the future he hopes to find a successor to take over MAR, his life’s work. For now, it’s life as usual.

“I just do this,” Wallerstein said.

“This is my life.”

Peter Wallerstein first started rescuing whales off the Southern California coast and eventually began rescuing other marine wildlife such as sea lions and seals. In 1985, Wallerstein founded the Whale Rescue Team, which was renamed Marine Animal Rescue in 2007.

Coastal Commission postpones marina redevelopment application Palmo Investments seeks to update Newport Beach marina with three fewer slips but larger dock system.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SANTA CRUZ — Finally, news of a postponement that has nothing to do with COVID-19 (aka Coronavirus): The California Coastal Commission, which met March 11-13 in Santa Cruz, will consider a marina redevelopment project in Newport Beach at a later date. It’s unclear why the item was postponed.

Complicating matters: the commission canceled its April meetings – this decision was because of COVID-19 – so it’s unclear when the marina redevelopment would be back on the docket.

Commissioners were originally set to consider the marina redevelopment application, which was submitted by Palmo Investments, on March 12. Palmo Investments is proposing to redevelop the existing marina at 2888 Bay Shores Drive in Newport Beach. The redevelopment proposal calls for the demolition of the existing marina and building of a new marina.

The new marina would have 50 slips – three fewer than the marina to be demolished – and new docks, piles and utilities. A new pier platform and gangway would also be built as part of the new marina, if plans are ultimately approved.

“The existing dock system on this site consists of 12,787 square feet and the proposed dock system consists of 13,866 square feet,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners. “The proposed dock system would result in an increase of 1,079 square feet of increased water coverage.

“In addition, the proposed project would result in approximately 999 square feet of eelgrass shading,” Coastal Commission staff continued. “The increased water coverage in this area would likely impact the biological productivity of the area, such as reducing or eliminating photosynthesis in the covered water areas, impacting the growth of eelgrass, and reducing water area for the avian foraging opportunities.”

The Palmo Investments proposal also calls for the south end of the new marina to have a “harbor camel.” The harbor camel, according to Coastal Commission staff, “would allow tenants to safely nav-

igate to the backside of the marina and also eliminate potential property damage to the backside of the marina and also eliminate potential property damage and personal injury to the adjacent property and property owner located at 2782 Bayshore Drive.”

There does appear to be some contention between Coastal Commission staff and the applicant, particularly over design.

Coastal Commission staff specifically requested the applicant provide a plan to reduce the proposed project’s adverse impacts.

“The applicant is intent with going forth with the proposed design,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners. “The applicant has proposed an eelgrass mitigation plan in order to mitigate the adverse impacts to eelgrass, but even with this plan, the proposed project is not the least environmentally feasible alternative.”

Another alternative, called the 2018 Plan, could be implemented, according to Coastal Commission staff.

“The ‘2018 Plan’ … would reduce additional water coverage to 157 square feet, reduce additional eelgrass impacts to 57 square feet and eliminate the need for the harbor camel,” Coastal Commission staff said. “The 2018 Plan would be the least environmentally damaging alternative that satisfied project goals to provide recreational boat docks in the same general footprint and complied with Newport Beach Harbor Design Guidelines.”

Palmo Investments told Coastal Commission staff the marina currently in place at 2888 Bay Shores Drive was built in 1970 and reached the end of its useful life.

The 53 slips currently in place include 18 for 48-foot boats, 11 for 30-footers, 10 for 42-footers, 10 for 22-footers, and one each for 24-, 38-, 40- and 50-foot boats.

Palmo Investments proposes a new slip mix of 14 26-footers, 12 42-footers, nine 40-footers, eight 22-footers, five 52-footers, and one each for 32- and 54-footers.

Slips for 24-, 30-, 38-, 48-, and 50foot boats would be eliminated if the new 50-slip proposal goes forward.

The proposed floating harbor camel would measure 75 feet in length.

Construction would take four months to complete, according to Palmo Investments.

“The marina parking lot will be used for staging and equipment storage,” Coastal Commission staff stated.

Catalina Connection Coronavirus delays busy boating season on Catalina Island; businesses try to stay positive

By Lindsey Glasgow AVALON — With both national and local government orders to “stay at home,” the coronavirus (COVID-19) has affected every person. On Catalina Island, where tourism makes up almost 100 percent of the economy, local business owners are trying to stay positive amid tough times and the 4,000 local residents are doing the best they can to prevent the spread while also lending support to local businesses.

This time of year, the waters around Avalon and Two Harbors would normally be filling up with boaters and Avalon’s streets bustling with visitors. This year, both the harbor and streets remain mostly a ghost town, according to local business owners and residents.

As of the time this paper went to print, Avalon City officials reported there had been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 on the island. However, the island is following directives from Los Angeles County, the state and federal government in regards to efforts to prevent the spread of the novel virus as health remains the number one focus.

Island leaders have requested all non-essential businesses on the island join in a closure until April 30 to protect the well-being of island residents and workforce. Businesses with everyday essentials remain open, including some restaurants. As everyone works to do their part to stop the spread the virus, local businesses also grapple with a very different start to the spring season.

In 2019, tourism accounted for 13.24

million in revenue for the island. During just the months of March and April last year, more than 155,000 visitors came to the island.

“It is a difficult time for our 100 percent tourism based economy, with the situation changing hour by hour,” Jim Luttjohann, President and CEO of Catalina Island Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau, said in an email.

“We are all doing our best to be responsive, communicative and good stewards of our very special place.”

Boat traffic has been severely limited. The Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau has asked anyone who is not a primary resident of Catalina Island or providing essential services to residents not to visit Catalina for the time being. The Catalina Island Company also issued a request to all boaters

who don’t live on the island to not visit Two Harbors; noting the island’s healthcare facilities lack the capabilities to handle a widespread outbreak.

Catalina Express, a ferry service running between the mainland and Catalina Island, temporarily suspended service from San Pedro and Dana Point terminals but remains operating on a very limited schedule, discouraging all non-essential travel.

The city issued a temporary moratorium for all cruise ship tenders from entering Avalon Harbor waters, which remains in effect through April 30.

“It’s a family of 2,000 here but in the summertime and the springtime when the harbor’s full it’s a family of 10,000,” said Megan Wright, owner of Café Metropole.

For now, Wright’s restaurant remains

Catalina Island resident Russ Armstrong emailed The Log this photo showing a desolate Avalon, which would normally be bustling this time of year.

open for takeout and would usually provide deliveries to boaters mooring in the harbor. She said this is about the time of year she would start to see familiar faces in the harbor.

“We miss the local boating community that we’d be seeing here right now,” Wright said.

Avalon Mayor Pro Tem Cinde MacGugan-Cassidy, who owns six local businesses on the island employing about 40 people, admitted the situation has created an atmosphere of somberness but said the community has come together.

“I think that in general, this particular community, when there is a crisis, comes together and everybody tends to look out for each other,” MacGugan-Cassidy said.

One member of the community started a Facebook page called Avalon Mutual Aid, to provide an outlet for people to seek help, such as grocery shopping, picking up prescriptions and dog walking. A hotline has also been set up. Another member has been organizing a list of restaurants offering takeout and encouraging people to order out one day a week to support those businesses.

Wright and MacGugan-Cassidy said they have always appreciated the massive local support but are still working to keep employees employed.

“I know from my own perspective I’m trying to keep as many people busy as I can and wait out the storm,” MacGugan-Cassidy said.

MacGugan-Cassidy admitted she has had to do a few temporary layoffs.

Wright also said she is doing everything she can to keep her six employees working.

“I’m just going to stay open as long as possible,” Wright said. “Even if I have to get a side job, I’ll get a side job. I just want to keep my employees employed and provide good healthy food to the locals here.”

Both noted that this will having a lasting impact on the economy.

“Every single person and business is going to be affected some way, shape or form,” MacGugan-Cassidy said. “I don’t think that we will fully recover economically for quite some time and it’s not just Catalina.”

Florida governor orders distancing rules for boaters

TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA—Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued an executive order for boating as part of social distancing requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The March 27 order requires recreational vessels must maintain a separation of at least 50 feet, and cannot have more than 10 passengers on board. The restrictions do not apply to “permitted mooring fields, public or private marinas, or any other permanently installed wet slips.”

The new rules are expected to remain in place for the duration of the coronavirus emergency in Florida.

This comes after the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission reportedly received complaints that boaters were violating social-distancing requirements.

The Miami Herald reported that on March 21 a popular boating spot in the Miami-area on the bay side of the inlet at Haulover was crowded with boats tied together and hordes of people standing in close proximity.

LOCAL At sea during pandemic, fishermen return to stormy times

SAN DIEGO (AP)—The coronavirus literally traveled over them from Asia to California while they were on the high seas catching tuna.

They were as safe as anyone from the virus doing one of the most dangerous jobs, and now? Fishermen are returning home to California to find a state all but shuttered and nowhere to sell their catch.

A handful of tuna boats filled with tens of thousands of pounds of fish are now floating off San Diego’s coast as they

Pyramid Lake temporarily shut down by federal, state officials Silverwood Lake and Lake Perris also block vehicular access.

By Parimal M. Rohit SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—Public access at three inland lakes were restricted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was announced on March 27.

A U.S. Forest Service order called for the temporary closure of Pyramid Lake in northern Los Angeles County. Vehicle access at Lake Perris (Riverside County) and Silverwood Lake (San Bernardino County) will not be allowed, either, as part of an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19, or Coronavirus, and, according

to state officials, to “protect public health and safety.”

“Pyramid Lake, part of the State Water Project, is located on U.S. Forest Service land that will be closed to the public until April 30,” a statement issued by the Department of Water Resources said.

The federal order went into effect on March 26. Trailheads within the National Forest System can still be accessed.

Anyone violating the order could face a fine of up to $5,000, six months in prison, or both. An organization violating the order could face a fine of up to $10,000.

The following individuals are exempt from the federal order: federal/state/local officers; members of an organized rescue or fire fighting force and on official duty; and, “persons with a permit from the Forest Service specifically authorizing the otherwise prohibited act or omission.”

Many are third-generation fishermen, like Nick Haworth. He pulled up his vessel to a dock in downtown San Diego with 30,000 pounds of big eye tuna and opah.

It was selling for $10 a pound to the public, a third of the market price.

“This is a quarantine special,” a tanned Haworth donning a mask and blue surgical gloves joked as he took orders from people standing 6 feet apart on the dock while seals barked around his boat, Kaylee H. When Haworth left a month ago to fish about 600 miles from the coast, the coronavirus was still concentrated primarily in China. The general feeling, he said, was that it was coming under control. President Donald Trump was telling the nation the numbers were only going to get better.

As his crew motored farther out to sea, a pandemic was declared, though Haworth didn’t know it because his radio was broken.

It wasn’t until they were returning weeks later and were within 50 miles, or about five hours away, that they picked up a signal for their TV to work and learned from the news of the worldwide closures, including in California and the Philippines, where many of his crew members have family.

California on March 20 confined its 40 million residents to home in the strictest response yet.

“The second we saw the news, I knew we were screwed,” Haworth said as he drove a boat filled with thousands of pounds of fish toward home. “We were all like, ‘What the hell is going on?’”

The wholesale buyers who agreed to buy the fish reneged, he said.

Haworth was grateful people were lining up - keeping a safe distance apart, of course. The fishermen were also offering home deliveries.

For the past few years, boats have been allowed to sell from the downtown dock on Saturdays as part of a large farmer’s market. Haworth hopes the city will allow the dockside market to stay open regularly during the lockdown.

West Coast Yachts and Dream Catcher Yachts announce merger

NEWPORT BEACH—West Coast Yachts in Newport Beach and Dream Catcher Yachts in Dana Point recently announced they have merged under one name, West Coast Yachts.

West Coast Yachts owner Chris Herman has been in the yacht brokerage business in Newport Beach for 20 years and partnered with his late business partner Ryan Eastman in 2010. Together, they formed West Coast Yachts. West Coast Yachts has represented both buyers and sellers of quality power yachts and sports fishers in the 30-70-foot range.

Herman said in a released statement he and his team are excited to expand their reach with a new presence in Dana Point Harbor.

Kenzie Lobacz has worked with Dream Catcher since 2003 and has owned the company since 2009. He will step aside from ownership and management to focus on selling for the new corporation, which will operate under Herman’s management.

The Newport Beach office will continue to be the headquarters for West Coast Yachts, and the Dana Point Dream Catcher location will operate to serve the local Dana Point community. All of the Dream Catcher Yachts staff will remain at the Dana Point office to continue serving their clients. Lobacz said in a released statement he and his wife, Robin Rainie-Lobacz are excited to see Dream Catcher move ahead under new ownership, and they plan to remain active in the organization.

Navy Hospital ship comes to Port of Los Angeles for COVID-19 relief

LOS ANGELES—President Trump agreed to send a massive Navy hospital ship to Los Angeles to deal with the area’s surge of coronavirus patients.

The USNS Mercy – one of the Navy’s two 1,000-bed hospital ships – was sent to the Port of Los Angeles from San Diego on March 23, the Navy said in a statement. The ship arrived March 27.

“The Port of Los Angeles stands ready to partner with the U.S. Navy and the federal government as it prepares to bring the USNS Mercy to the Port of Los Angeles. The welfare of our residents is the top priority during this public health crisis,” said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka.

Virtual activities pop up; fish markets remain open

By Lindsey Glasgow SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA —With orders from national and local governments to not gather in groups of more than 10 to fight the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19), nearly all events planned for April and even some in May in Southern California have been postponed or canceled.

Many maritime and ocean museums and educational facilities are now offering online programming and those unable to get out on the water during this time, can still find fresh fish at local seafood markets.

FISH MARKETS Many fresh fish markets on the Southern California coast remain open. Tuna Harbor Dockside Market in San Diego took to social media to make sure customers know they are still selling fresh seafood every Saturday, 8 a.m.-1 p.m., as usual.

“The Department of Environmental Health has told us that the Health Officer Order that limits gatherings to less than 10 people, does not apply to Fishermen’s Markets. Markets providing food are an essential function needed, and allowed to remain open,” the market stated in a Facebook post on March 23.

The weekly Saturday Fish Market at the pier in Santa Barbara and the weekly Saturday morning fish market in San Pedro, also remain open. The Commercial Fishermen of Santa Barbara noted COVID-19 is taking a toll on their business, stating food service purchases are virtually non-existent.

Many of the local seafood sellers in Ventura Harbor also remain open and present at area farmers markets.

HUNTINGTON BEACH — Huntington Harbour is a picturesque view, a neighborhood of winding water trails dotted with boats and kayaks. Intruding on this picture is often plastic water bottles, food wrappers, polystyrene foam and even discarded shoes and clothing.

Volunteers for years have been dedicated to painting a cleaner picture of the harbor, all while having some fun.

For the past six or seven years on the first Sunday of each month, volunteers have collected outside Huntington Harbour Boat Rentals around 8:30 a.m. ready to paddle the waters surveying for floating wrappers and Styrofoam bits and trek the muddy shoreline collecting bottle caps and discarded chip bags.

Huntington Harbour Boat Rentals donates about 30 kayaks, stand up paddle boards (SUPs) and Duffy boats to volunteers for the harbor cleanup, which is organized by the Huntington/Seal Beach Surfrider Foundation.

The efforts have not gone unnoticed by harbor residents, including harbor commissioners. Huntington Harbor Commission Chair Bill Larkin nominated the groups for Mayor Lyn Semeta’s “Making a Difference Award.”

“You have people that are doing this stuff that the city should recog-

nize,” Larkin said.

Huntington Harbour Boat Rentals and Huntington/Seal Beach Surfrider Foundation were recognized with the award at the March 2 City Council meeting.

“I think it’s fantastic that you get our high school students involved in this effort and all the other volunteers because part of the Making a Difference Award is inspiring others to do more good works,” Semeta said while delivering the award.

Semeta created the award to recognize selflessness, volunteerism and exceptional community service in Huntington Beach. This was the second time the award has been handed out.

Huntington/Seal Beach Surfrider Chair of the Harbor Program Shane Coons said interest from individuals and groups, such as high schools, wanting to volunteer in the harbor cleanups has grown over the years. Coons said they started with about just a dozen volunteers and now they have about 40 and a waitlist. He said he is encouraged by the number of young people interested in volunteering.

“Now we have to do reservations six months in advance,” Coons said.

“We have more people that want to participate than we have kayaks.”

Coons got involved with Surfrider and beach cleanups after noticing the problem first hand while out on water surfing.

“Generally there seems like there’s a never ending supply of polystyrene,” Coons said.

About six/seven years ago Coons said the Huntington Beach chapter started having discussions about adding a cleanup further up the watershed in the harbor, in the same way Newport Beach was doing.

Now, it is a monthly occurrence, taking place on the first Sunday of

the month. Volunteers with the harbor cleanup spend about two-and-half to three hours collecting trash from kayaks and paddle boards as well as along the harbor shoreline. Coons said on average, every person collects about 6.6 pounds of debris. The Surfrider beach cleanups around Huntington/Seal Beach are held every Saturday, with volunteers spending about four hours collecting trash. Coons said on average each person at those cleanups collects about one pound of trash.

“The message we show people at the harbor cleanup is it took a lot of people to make the mess that’s out there and its going to take a lot of people to fix it,” Coons said.

Coons said the goal is to do something good for the environment and hopefully impact people’s decision making process.

“I think it’s a good example of the problem in general,” Coons said. “It shows people maybe they don’t need to get a plastic bag for their bag of oranges at the store.”

Coons, who, when not surfing or volunteering with Surfrider, works as an attorney, said his years of volunteering in the cleanups has led to a shift in his own life. In 2018, with three other Surfrider volunteers, Coons started 4 Blue Waves – a distributor of food and beverage packaging made of only reusable, recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable products.

“Trying to create a market for turning this waste into a commodity,” Coons said.

For example, he said their coffee cups could be made into a shoe box or a clothing tag. Zach’s HB and Secret Spot Café have used their products, according to Coons. He said 4 Blue Waves is launching a new ocean degradable straw this year and hoping to expand to more restaurants. He said the company’s ultimate goal is to close the loop to make sure restaurant products don’t end up in a landfill or in coastal waters.

“It’s been rewarding to share the message,” Coons said.

CHANNEL ISLANDS HARBOR CANCELS 2020 FOURTH OF JULY SHOW

Fundraising campaign to save fireworks show falls short of goal; COVID-19 crisis only worsened the situation, according to Ventura County Harbor Department.

By Parimal M. Rohit

OXNARD — Yet another announcement of cancelation – though this particular one isn’t entirely due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis. Ventura County Harbor Department announced on March 19 it would not go forward with this year’s Fourth of July fireworks show. The show was already on the verge of flatlining due to budgetary constraints, but recent efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 also contributed to the event’s cancelation this year.

The city of Oxnard eliminated its funding of this year’s fireworks show.

Oxnard, in the past, has contributed half the financing for the annual fire-

works show at Channel Islands Harbor.

The funding covers both the show and related police costs.

A GoFundMe fundraising campaign was launched by the Channel Islands Harbor Lessees Association, as part of an effort to help the Ventura County Harbor Department raise $23,000 by the end of March. The $23,000 goal would have covered the city of Oxnard’s portion of the fireworks show budget.

“Unfortunately, fundraising and planning for a festive event in the throes of this worldwide disaster is definitely not the right thing to do,” Harbor Department Director Mark Sandoval said in a released statement. “We should all be focusing on what we can do to help our neighbors and neighboring busi-

nesses to survive during this frightening pandemic. We are extremely appreciative of the community members, donors and businesses who have stepped up to help save the show.”

The fundraising campaign did raise about $5,000, according to Sandoval and Steve Kinney, the Lessees Association liaison who launched the GoFundMe campaign. Kinney said the funds raised for the fireworks show would instead be directed to the Channel Islands Harbor Foundation, which provides grants to youth organizations.

Those organizations introduce underprivileged youth to recreational activities on the harbor.

Donors who prefer to have their donations refunded to them can file their request with Kinney. He can be

The Port of San Diego wants to be ahead of the pack in developing a clear air and improved water quality. Port district staff will be developing a strategy to reduce emissions and pollution.

PORT OF SAN DIEGO SEEKS TO BE A CLEAN AIR STRATEGY LEADER Commissioners and district staff hope to engage in a race to the top and develop a plan to reduce emissions and improve air quality for San Diego Bay.

By Parimal M. Rohit SAN DIEGO — The Port of San Diego hopes to establish itself as a leader in advancing a clean air strategy for the waterfront it manages and oversees.

This was the message made clear during

a presentation made by port district staff, March 10. The presentation outlined a proposed approach for progression of a maritime clean air strategy for San Diego Bay. Last month’s presentation was a follow-up of the Board of Port Commissioners’ 2019 resolution to update the port district’s 2007 Clean Air Program.

The resolution called for the port district to align itself with the state’s goals in developing a local plan to reduce emissions and improve air quality.

reached via email, slkinney@ceoexpress.com.

Channel Islands Harbor Lessees Association launched the GoFundMe fundraising campaign earlier this year to cover the portion of the fireworks show not funded by the Harbor Department.

“There were high hopes that the fundraising efforts could bridge the gap of about $23,000 in the next month or so as summer approached, but those hopes have been dashed with the onset and steady worsening of the COVID19 virus,” an official statement released by the Harbor Department said. “While there is a chance that the virus will be gone by the summer, it is a certainty that it will leave a significant economic problem in its wake.

“Businesses and individuals will suffer financially, and the Harbor Department, whose revenues are dependent on the revenues of harbor businesses, will also feel the effect.”

The total budget for the fireworks show was $42,500. Oxnard did not commit any new funding to the show planned for this summer, though $14,400 was available from last year’s fireworks event at Channel Islands Harbor. The GoFundMe campaign aimed to raise enough money to fill the gap between $14,400 and $42,500.

Port district staff, in their March 10 presentation, outlined a “Maritime Clean Air Strategy,” or MCAS. The strategy was based upon research of the port district’s current emission reduction plans and comparing them to other ports in the state.

There are four elements to the port’s clean air strategy, or MCAS: augment the district’s 2016 “Maritime Air Emission Inventory” with additional data; assess the current state of emission reduction technologies and strategies; evaluate the feasibility of those strategies, from a cost and operational standpoint; and, develop various scenarios to “provide a range of achievable near-term and long-term emission reductions.”

“The MCAS will enable the [port] district to more closely align with the state’s air quality and greenhouse gas reduction initiatives,” port district staff said in a report to commissioners. “The state has a long history of regulating emissions and there are several important new regulatory concepts that are on the horizon. Many of the anticipated regulations under consideration by [the state] have operational and business implications to the goods movement industry.”

Port district staff, in developing a clean air strategy for San Diego Bay, studied similar plans developed by port districts in Los Angeles, Long Beach and Oakland. The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, as previously reported by The Log, established its Clean Air Action Plan in November 2017. The Port of Oakland, meanwhile, released its Seaport Air Quality 2020 and BeSee SD CLEAN page 23

THE “OTHER” MARINA DEL REY:

CABO SAN LUCAS’S GATEWAY Quaint marina at the base of the harbor greets boaters, offers its services with a personal touch.

By Parimal M. Rohit

CABO SAN LUCAS, MEXICO — Marina del Rey, the Los Angeles County enclave, usually receives all of The Log’s attention. It’s easy to know when we are talking about the largest small craft harbor in Southern California: the “d” in “del” is always lower-cased. There is another Marina Del Rey for boaters to know of, and this one capitalizes the “D” in “Del.” Boaters who head south of the border might already be aware of this Marina Del Rey – it’s the first marina they see whenever they cruise into the harbor at Cabo San Lucas.

Cabo San Lucas’s Marina Del Rey is the first marina in the city’s large harbor. The marina is walking distance to the harbor and features its own fuel dock. Sportfishing activities and other excursions often launch from Marina Del Rey. The popular waterfront district is also within walking distance.

Cabo San Lucas, of course, might be the “lively” destination of the two Cabos – but boaters who decide to drop anchor at Marina Del Rey might experience the more laid-back feel of San Juan de Cabo.

Marina Del Rey, for starters, is one of two marinas in Cabo San Lucas Harbor. The 800-pound elephant in the room is IGY Marinas, which is home to 380 slips. Then there is the 25-slip Marina Del Rey – but what the marina lacks in quantity, it makes up in quality.

First, a few statistics – Marina Del Rey’s max draught is 13 feet, while the maximum length is 82 feet. It has its own fuel dock. Many of the harbor’s excursion businesses are also based at Marina Del Rey, meaning boaters won’t have to walk far if they want to charter a fishing trip or other aquatic adventure.

On-site amenities include dressing rooms, drinkable water, electricity, security, weather information and Wi-Fi. One of the greatest perks of Mari-

na Del Rey is its location – it is walking distance to at least half of the Cabo San Lucas waterfront boardwalk. Senor Frogs, Captain Tony’s, Solomon’s Landing, Las Brisas and Baja Cantina Cabo are among the restaurants you’ll be able to walk to in a few minutes.

Also nearby (and on the boardwalk) are: Cabo Dolphin Center, Esperanza’s Tours, Camila Tours, Aqua Activities Los Cabos, The Blue Marlin Sportfishing, Cabo Blue Boat and Cabo Sails Sailing Charters and Tours.

Behind Marina Del Rey is a beachfront (Playa Publica Cabo San Lucas, Playa Empacadora, Playa Coral Negro and Playa La Raza). El Arco, the most famous landmark of Los Cabos, is a short boat ride away. Most of the Los Cabos waterfront, beyond Cabo San Lucas Harbor, is easily accessible from Marina Del Rey. Perhaps the greatest amenity of them all, however, is the personal attention and service offered by Marina Del Rey’s staff. Brian Hopper, the marina’s manager, manages a solid operation. He and his staff regularly interact with boaters and visitors, offering assistance with marina services or giving them pointers of how best to enjoy Cabo San Lucas (or Los Cabos, as a whole).

The staff here certainly makes everyone feel special and at home.

Call 011-52-624-143-65-22 for more information about the marina, including reservations. Marina Del Rey is located at 22° 53› S (Latitude), 109° 54› W (Longitude). The physical address is Retorno Boulevard Marina S/N, Colonia Centro, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Port of San Diego declares local emergency Proclamation based upon COVID-19 would allow port district to seek assistance from other government agencies.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SAN DIEGO — The bottom of the COVID19 crisis will take weeks, if not months, to discover. Board members with the Port of San Diego, amidst the evolving threat of the Coronavirus, declared a local emergency, March 23. The proclamation will allow the port district to seek assistance and resources from local, county, state and federal government agencies.

The port district will also be able to seek assistance from disaster relief organizations to compensate for or otherwise lessen the damages, hardships, losses or sufferings borne on the Port of San Diego due to Coronavirus.

“The [port district’s] executive director/Chief Executive Officer has found that existing and threatened conditions that cause extreme peril to the safety of persons and property have arisen within the district, caused by the novel COVID-19 virus,” port district staff said in a report to board members.

“The existing and threatened conditions are, or are likely to be, beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment and facilities of the district, and may require the supplemental efforts and available resources of other government entities, to include the state and/or federal government and/or disaster relief organizations to help alleviate the damage, loss, hardship or suffering caused by the virus,” port district staff continued.

Board members also directed all public parks around San Diego Bay be closed. The closure includes beaches, boat launch ramps, parking lots and piers.

“Closed signs are being posted at port parks, parking lots, beaches and boat launches, and Port of San Diego Harbor Police will be working to educate the public about the closures and what is and isn’t allowed,” port district staff said in a released statement. “Public access walkways, sidewalks and promenades are open to allow exercise – walking, running and cycling – which is permitted under the State of California’s stay at home order, so long as a socially safe distance of six feet is maintained from people who aren’t part of the same household.”

Twenty parks and boat launch ramps will be affected by the port district’s closures (see sidebar).

Anyone who has a question or request for the port district should reach out to its staff via email at customerservice@portofsandiego.org or by phone at 619-686-6200.

COVID-19 emergencies were also declared by the state of California, county of San Diego and the port district’s five member cities (San Diego, Chula Vista, National City, Imperial Beach and Coronado).

The port district has a website – portofsandiego.org/covod19 – providing regular updates of its response to the Coronavirus crisis, including steps individuals can take to minimize the spread and exposure of COVID-19.

DECOMMISSIONING CALIFORNIA’S OIL PLATFORMS:

SIX PLA

3 CHOICES, AN UNDECIDED FUTURE

1

LONG BEACH — A recent event at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach brought together representatives from federal and state agencies responsible for the decommissioning process of oil rigs off California’s coast. Industry experts and academic scientists discussed the current status of the oil platforms, existing regulations regarding decommissioning, and what actions are needed to create a path toward more sustainable options.

ALTERNATE USES

 Existing platform is re-imagined to use as a base for aquaculture, research station or wind farm.

John Smith, a former OCS Decommissioning Consultant with the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), was among the speakers at the Offshore Oil Platform Decommissioning Forum and an event on March 4 releasing a report summarizing the forum.

There are 27 offshore oil platforms in federal and state waters off the coast of California, ranging in age from 28 to 50 years, with an average life span of 30 years. Smith said five platforms in federal waters are in the early stages of decommissioning; Harvest, Hermosa, Hildago, Holly, Gail and Grace. Platform Holly in state waters is also in the process of being decommissioned. Smith said there would likely be 10 decommissioned in the next decade. Funding the decommissioning process is the operator’s duty.

There are essentially three options when a platform terminates operation, with many factors taken into play. Much of the debate weighs heavily on whether removing the reefs would cause more damage to the ecosystem than leaving them partially in place.

“California can chose any decommissioning option for the four platforms in state waters,” Jerry Schubel, President and CEO of the Aquarium of the Pacific, said in the report. “The choice will depend upon science, societal values, and who shows up at public meetings.”

THE GRACE MARICULTURE PROJECT WAS PROJECTED TO PRODUCE

ALTERNATIVE USES

Alternative uses could include aquaculture, research stations and wind farms. As with partial decommissioning, it would require a specific project proposal and both oil company sign-off and state and/or federal approval.

There have been some proposals in the past. In 2004, when Venoco’s platform Grace was scheduled to end production, Hubbs Sea World Research Institute (HSWRI) proposed using the decommissioned platform to house a large mariculture research program dubbed the Grace Mariculture Project. The program was designed to research the feasibility of using offshore platforms for marine aquaculture and to cultivate species experiencing fishing pressure in California waters.

It was projected to culture 300 metric tons a year of white sea bass, striped bass, rockfish, halibut, yellowtail, tuna and shellfish such as mussels and white abalone, with a profit of $2 million annually, according to a Los Angeles Times article.

“Fishery Management Plan for Regulating Offshore Marine Aquaculture in the Gulf of Mexico, Environmental Impact Statement,” estimated initial start up costs for the operation would have cost $2.89 million. Ultimately, the project was abandoned when Platform Grace’s wells returned to production in 2007 after a rebound in oil prices.

PARTIAL REMOVAL

In 2010, California passed Assembly Bill 2503 (AB 2503), allowing for decommissioned oil rigs to be turned into reefs as an alternative to being completely removed. This could be done by cutting off the top portion and allowing the rest to remain or tipping over the structure once the top portion is removed.

“Its seems on average, about 90 percent of the fish biomass and production should remain,” said Jeremy Claisse, an associate Professor of Quantitative Marine Ecology at Cal Poly

Pomona who has been studying fish under the platforms for about the past decade.

Each platform would be addressed individually, requiring a specific project, approval from the operator and sign off from either the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) for platforms in federal waters or the State Lands Committee for platforms in state waters.

Smith said despite AB 2503, more legislative action is required for any type of rigs to reefs project. California must have an Artificial Reef Program and plan to manage the reefs; the state currently has neither. The California

included scientists who have studied fish and marine life that have made these platforms home. One study found there is 27 times more fish production under platforms than on natural rocky reefs in the region.

Jeremy Claisse, an Associate Professor of Quantitative Marine Ecology at Cal Poly Pomona, has analyzed and modeled numbers for fish population and production around these defacto reefs for almost the past decade.

He said fish populations vary widely at each platform and even at different depths on each platform. Deeper platforms don’t necessarily have more fish.

“We think that it’s important as we’re considering decommissioning options to consider each platform individually and look at the types of species that are productive there,” Claisse said.

He provided The Log with data on the average density and type of fish around each platform across all the years the platforms were surveyed; the numbers for the six platforms in the process of being decommissioned are seen here. Fishes include various types of rockfish, lingcod and greenlings.

Complete removal was estimated to cost $8.5 million to $106.3 million. Smith said the state would get 80 percent of the savings from partial decommissioning, while the oil company would get 20 percent.

COMPLETE REMOVAL

State and federal laws require platforms be decommissioned at the end of their hydrocarbon production life and be totally removed. The costs, environmental disruption to the abundance of life on the platforms, environmental impacts and feasibility of removal have been the focus of much debate.

Due to the weight of the platforms, which can be as much as 86,513 tons, removal would require specialized heavy lift barges, of which only a few exist in the world.

“You’re essentially bringing in a power plant,” said Smith at the March 4 event. “It would serve 20,000 people for a whole year.

That’s the amount of power and generation.”

Smith said there is also the issue of where onshore the massive metal pieces could be brought to; saying California does not have the infrastructure for that.

TOKYO, JAPAN — It was only a matter of time before the 2020 Summer Games, scheduled to take place in late July and early August in Tokyo, Japan, would be taken off calendar. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Japanese government finally announced, on March 24, the 2020 Games in Tokyo would be postponed due to COVID-19 (Coronavirus).

US Sailing’s selection procedures for the United States Olympic Sailing team would be re-evaluated.

New dates for the 2021 Games have not yet been decided or announced, but the IOC stated the Tokyo Olympics will be held before the end of summer, next year.

Postponing the 2020 Games in Tokyo will not cause the 2024 Summer Games in Paris and 2028 Summer Olympiad in Los Angeles to be delayed.

This is the first time in the history of the modern Games the Summer Olympiad has been postponed. Three Summer Games (1916, 1940, 1944) and two Winter

April 19. The club’s leadership added it would make every effort to take care of its employees.

“Our manager has been given discretion by the board to utilize employees any way possible,” King Harbor YC Commodore Lee Coller stated in a letter to club membership. “Thanks to several years of near-full membership, we are in the fortunate position of being able to continue paying our staff with no plans for furloughs or layoffs.”

Many Marina del Rey yacht clubs, such as California, Del Rey and South Coast Corinthian, have canceled their Opening Day ceremonies.

VENTURA, OXNARD AND SANTA BARBARA Ventura Yacht Club canceled its Opening Day ceremonies; the event was originally scheduled for April 4.

Pacific Corinthian Yacht Club in Oxnard canceled its St. Patrick’s Day Party and postponed its Opening Day. The club’s Commodore’s Ball and TGIS #3 Winter Series Regatta were also postponed.

Channel Islands Yacht Club, also in Oxnard, announced its bar would be closed until April 21. No events were on the Channel Islands YC calendar from March 18 to April 20. The club’s Open House event, scheduled for April 26, is still on calendar.

Santa Barbara Yacht Club did not publish any formal announcements on its website or social media accounts about its COVID-19 response.

Olympiads (1940, 1944) were canceled.

Those competitions were canceled because of World War I and World War II. Berlin, Germany was set to host the 1916 Summer Games. Helsinki, Finland and Tokyo lost out on jointly hosting the 1940 Summer Games, while London had to let go of the Olympic games in 1944.

World War II forced the cancelation of the 1940 Winter Games in Nazi Germany and 1944 Winter Games in Italy.

Postponement of the 2020 Summer Games obviously affects sailing events.

A big reason for the postponement of this year’s Olympiad, to be sure, was the inability to practice or train during worldwide restrictions in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Travel restrictions, for example, forced US Sailing officials to advice all sailors training in Europe to return to the United States.

Several sailing events – some of which were qualifiers for the 2020 Summer Games – were postponed or canceled.

Postponements included the 2020 470 World Championships and 51st Trofeo Princesa Sofia Iberostar Regatta.

The 2020 Finn Gold Cup, which takes place in May, could also be rescheduled or canceled.

“We appreciate the clarity this decision provides, as athlete safety is first and foremost. Moving forward our dedicated staff will provide leadership and support to the athletes as they continue their preparation for the Olympic Games,” Jack Gierhart,

CEO of US Sailing, said in a released statement. “Competing in the Games is an unprecedented athletic achievement and although today’s announcement may bring moments of disappointment for some of our athletes, we will adapt, remain focused on our mission and be fully prepared when the Games do get underway.”

The first leg of sailing events at this year’s games were slated to take place July 26-31. Medal races were scheduled to start Aug. 1 and continue through Aug. 5.

Enoshima, a city south of Tokyo, was to host the sailing events. All sailing events of the 1964 Summer Games, which was also in Tokyo, were held in Enoshima.

The United States slated 15 sailors to head to Tokyo to compete in 10 Olympic Sailing classes. Those classes are: RS:X single-handed (Windsurf), Men and Women; Laser single-handed (Dinghy), Men; Laser Radial single-handed (Dinghy), Women; Finn single-handed (Dinghy – heavyweight), Men; 49er double-handed (Skiff), Men; 49erFX (Skiff), Women; 470 double-handed (Dinghy), Men and Women; and, Nacra 17 double-handed (Multihull), Mixed.

Events slated to help determine the selection process were the Japan Series, 2019 Class World Championships, 2020 Hempel World Cup Series Miami and 2020 World Championships.

The 2022 Winter Games is still on track to take place in Beijing, China, Feb. 4-22, 2022, as originally scheduled.

“Similar to the San Pedro Bay Port Complex and the Port of Oakland, the [port] district has relied on plans and partnerships to develop a variety of emission reduction projects and programs on port tidelands,” port district staff stated. “As laws, regulations and technologies continue to change, it’s important for the district to have a broad, comprehensive and flexible strategy that helps it prioritize clean air initiatives in a manner that supports maritime business objectives.”

The port district’s 2007 Clean Air Program set the tone for a variety of environmentally friendly policies, such as Shore Power at the Cruise Ship Terminal and at the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal, a Vessel Speed Reduction Program, and a Clean Truck Program.

Commissioner Rafael Castellanos said the port district should be as shovel ready as possible and engage in a race to the top.

“We should be really aggressive on this,” Castellanos said. “[Let’s] embrace what’s inevitable and just lead. We might as well be the posterchild of the good actor.”

The port district will also be participating in the Community Emissions Reduction Program, or CERP. Portside En-

Santa Barbara Waterfront circa 1899-1900

SANTA BARBARA — In this photo, from 1899 or 1990, according to the Edson Smith Photo Collection, Stearns Wharf on the Santa Barbara Waterfront can be seen, it is now the oldest working wooden wharf in California, home to more than 15 businesses. The photo was taken from Plaza Del Mar, one of the oldest parks in the city, with Stearns Wharf in the distance. John Peck Stearns was the man who transformed the isolated, hard-toreach outpost into a thriving port. A small pier was built in 1868 to facilitate the transfer of cargo and people from ships to shore, according to paddlesportsca.com. According to the website, Stearns offered to invest in the wharf to extend it further, but the offer was denied. Paddlesportca.com stated legend has it t, due to this refusal, Stearns chose to build his much larger wharf just a block away from the little pier, dwarfing it completely. In 1872, Stearns Wharf was completed, opening the city to the outside world.

vironmental Justice Neighborhoods was selected by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to help develop an emission reduction program for the port district.

CERP was established by Assembly Bill 617 (AB 617), which went into effect in 2017. The program calls for the reduction of exposure to air pollution in communities most affected by such emissions.

“The measure requires local air districts to take specific actions to reduce air pollution and toxic air contaminants from commercial and industrial sources,” the state’s South Coast Air Quality Management District explained on its website about CERP and AB 617.

A few steering committees were established in response to AB 617, including Portside Environmental Justice Neighborhoods in San Diego. A steering committee was also established for the Wilmington and West Long Beach area, which covers the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

MCAS, according to port district staff, “is intended to support a pathway to zero- and near-zero emissions for certain sectors and support the AB 617 … emission reduction efforts, including the development of the CERP.” No board action was taken on this issue on March 10, as port district staff simply provided a presentation on the potential development of a clean air strategy for San Diego Bay.

NOAA Fisheries issues an emergency action in response to COVID-19

By Parimal M. Rohit WASHINGTON, D.C. — An emergency action was issued by the fisheries arm of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in response to the COVID-

19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, March 24. The NOAA Fisheries emergency action would, according to an official statement, “provide the authority, on a case-by-case basis, to waive observer coverage, some training and other program requirements while meeting conservation needs and providing an ongoing supply of fish to markets.”

NOAA Fisheries’ emergency action would allow the federal agency to protect public health and ensure the safety of fishers.

The emergency action specifically gives the NOAA Fisheries Regional Administrator, Office Director or Science Center Director the ability to waive observer requirements if three specific circumstances exist.

Those three circumstances which must be met are: Provider’s observers are under quarantine and, therefore, there isn’t enough staff for a fleet, port or vessel Observers are unable to physically get to a fishing vessel departure point due to travel restrictions or shelter in place guidelines Providers lack sufficient trained observers because NOAA Fisheries could not offer training (building

access restrictions, meeting guidance, etc.).

“If observer requirements are waived, the agency will monitor fishing effort and catch data and other relevant information to ensure there are no significant adverse environmental consequences and consider alternative fishery management measures should such consequences arise,” NOAA Fisheries staff said in a released statement.

NOAA Fisheries said it would continue to maintain the nation’s seafood supply and protect marine life during the COVID-19 crisis, all while also ensuring the health and safety of its employees and partners.

Sunken Seaweed and Port of San Diego agree to extend pilot project program Aquaculture incubator will run through November 2023 under updated terms; port district will receive royalties through 2043.

Boating activities at Mexican ports will be severely restricted as a result of COVID-19, it was recently announced. Activities such as diving, sportfishing and tours won’t be allowed in Ensenada (pictured) and other harbor destinations south of the border.

MEXICO RESTRICTS BOATING ACTIVITIES DUE TO COVID-19 Charters, sportfishing, tours and other boating activities won’t be allowed during pandemic period.

By Parimal M. Rohit ENSENADA, MEXICO —Pleasure vessel activities in Mexican ports will be restricted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a directive issued by Mexico’s maritime authority.

Directive #13, which was issued on March 29, informed all of Mexico’s port captains they could not authorize the clearance or departure of passenger vessels for-hire, whether Mexican of foreign flagged. The restriction applied to all vessels operating with Nautical Tourism permits (charter, diving, sportfishing, sunset cruises, tours and whale watching).

“Ports in Mexico are not closed to navigation or any other than the above,” the directive stated. “Navigation with private vessels is permitted, however, due to the COVID 19 worldwide out-

break, Mexico is asking its population to stay indoors, limit nonessential travel and movement, wash hands with soap and water frequently and keep a safe distance from other people.”

The directive also advised recreational boaters to embark on an expedition only if it were absolutely necessary, such as to isolate, relocate or transport something of significance.

“Considering the above, we recommend recreational vessel use be stopped and only undertake navigation if it is for purposes of relocation, isolation, transportation, etc.,” the directive stated.

“At this time, all marinas are operational, some with reduced office hours and services,” the directive continued.

“We expect marinas in Mexico to be able to continue operating in this manner threw out this health contingency. We hope that with the cooperation of everyone, México will soon be able to return to the normal operation of its tourism industry.”

Southern California boaters who often navigate south of the border often visit one of the following cities/harbors: Ensenada, Los Cabos, La Paz and Loreto.

SAN DIEGO — A pilot project aiming to demonstrate the feasibility of seaweed and shellfish aquaculture in San Diego Bay was extended, March 10.

The Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners unanimously approved an amendment to allow Sunken Seaweed LLC to continue its research and pilot project program on seaweed and shellfish cultivation until November 2023.

The port district’s royalty agreement with Sunken Seaweed was extended by five years, just the same; Sunken Seaweed will pay the port district a royalty through 2043. Extending the pilot project agreement would allow Sunken Seaweed to introduce mussels and oysters to its farming system.

“The purpose of adding shellfish is to demonstrate the feasibility and water quality benefits of shellfish and seaweed aquaculture in San Diego Bay by incorporating the water-purifying capacity of mussels, and oysters with the carbon-sequestering potential of seaweeds to create a restorative, climate-beneficial farming system,” port district staff said in a report to commissioners. “The addition of shellfish to the pilot project will require the addition of mussel longlines and baskets to the existing submerged farm system, which would involve minimal activity, as no existing structures need to be permanently modified.”

Additional port district funding is not required as part of the contract and royalty extension.

“Sunken Seaweed LLC has leveraged the assets and results from the pilot project to obtain additional grant funding to continue operations and mea-

sure the ecosystem benefits and services provided by seaweed aquaculture,” port district staff said in a report to commissioners. “The … amendment to the agreement with Sunken Seaweed LLC will allow the company to continue its current seaweed farming operations and add shellfish to the existing pilot seaweed farming system, utilizing a 3D ocean farming method of aquaculture.”

Port district staff explained 3D ocean farming as “a vertical underwater agriculture technique that uses the water column to grow restorative species, such as seaweeds and shellfish, together in the same ocean space.”

Shellfish and seaweed could be used to improve water quality, allow for foraging opportunities, protect coastal habitats and provide kelp-based biofuels, among other benefits.

At least once commissioner said the port district’s partnership with Sunken Seaweed would have a long-term benefit, both economically and environmentally.

“When you hear a project that talks about … fishery enhancement [and] water quality enhancement, that’s the kind of project that falls squarely in the breadbasket of the Port of San Diego,” Commissioner Dan Malcolm said. “In the old days, the Port of San Diego would have given grant money for this kind of project. In the new days, in the Blue Economy incubator, we are actually partnering with cutting edge companies, putting in seed money that we would have put in anyway, getting a return.”

Sunken Seaweed’s pilot project initially earned the Board of Port Commissioners’ approval in July 2018. A seaweed hatchery was established in October 2018, followed by a pilot farm in November 2018. Ocean-based lines were installed in December 2018.

Experimentation commenced in February 2019. Department of Energy and Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission-funded projects, though the Sunken Seaweed program, have been running since July 2019.

Commissioner Garry Bonelli was not present for the vote.
