BIZARRE

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

CHANNEL ISL ANDS — Vast mounds of sponges stretching hundreds of meters have been discovered 600 meters down near the Channel Islands.

The reef-resembling mounds were first spotted in 2020 during a dive by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) from the research ship EV Nautilus.

“We started seeing patches of dead sponges,” said Abigail Powell a contractor for the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, during a virtual talk at the Ocean Sciences Meeting 2022 on Jan. 26. “It just got denser and denser, and soon we were climbing over great mounds of it.”

The mounds consist mainly of the silica skeletons of dead glass sponges, which turned brownish from sediment coating.

However, many other species live on and in the mounds, including fish, clams, and sponges of reef and non-reef-building kinds.

In 2021, the EV Nautilus returned to the sponge mound site, and an ROV zigzagged over two of the mounds. The largest mound was more than a kilometer long, 500 meters wide, and at least several meters thick in some places.

“The continuous extent of the patches over hundreds of meters is unlike anything we have encountered before,” Powell said.

Sponge reefs were common during the age of the dinosaurs but were believed to have vanished entirely from modern oceans. Then in the 1980s, living sponge reefs were found off the coast of British Columbia in Canada.

“Glass sponge reefs are spectacular, but fragile, ecosystems,” said Powell.

However, she is hesitant about calling the mounds off California sponge reefs until acoustic scans reveal their deeper structure.

Reef-building glass sponges were once thought to have been extinct for 100 million years, but “We need to find out wheth- the new live cluster of the organisms discovered off the west coast of the U.S. is only the second er the mounds are composed known to exist. of sponge skeletons or whether we are looking at a relatively thin layer of sponge growing on rocky face of the mounds is much lower than reef-building sponges in the Channel Isridges,” Powell told New Scientist. on the reefs of Canada. lands National Marine Sanctuary.

FAST FACTS

By: JORDAN B. DARLING

CHARLESTON, S.C.— On March 19, 1965, underwater archaeologist E. Lee Spence discovered the wreckage of the SS Georgiana, the “mystery ship of the Confederacy.” Exactly 102 years to the day, the ship was scuttled by the captain after trying to break through the naval blockade in Charleston, South Carolina.

“The treasure I sought was not only gold, but history,” said Spence in his book “Treasures of the Confederate Coast: the “real” Rhett Butler’ & other revelations.” “The Georgiana was

the most powerful Confederate cruiser ever built, and she was my discovery.”

The steamer was built in Great Britain and was sunk in 14 feet of water off the Isle of Palms, South Carolina, during its maiden voyage while carrying today’s equivalent of 2$ million in cargo.

On March 19, 1863, the steamer attempted to run past the Federal Blockading Squadron and into Charleston. Instead, she was spotted by the America, an armed yacht that alerted the rest of the fleet.

LOCAL Port of San Diego Invites Public to Pepper Park Design Workshop SAN DIEGO— The Port of San Diego

has announced its enhanced efforts for public access and recreation on the National City Bayfront by inviting the public to continue to engage in the process to transform Pepper Park into a resource that visitors and residents will appreciate for many years. KTU & A, a planning and landscape architect is acting as the port’s design consultant and the port, will host a virtual community Design Workshop on March 26, at 6 p.m. Participants will have the opportunity to view and provide input on three conceptual plans for Pepper Park and its future 2.5-acre expansion based on prior public outreach efforts. Participants will be asked what elements they like in each of the three concepts. The feedback received will be incorporated into one idea that the public will have the opportunity to review and provide feedback on during a second design workshop later in the spring. The workshop will be conducted via Zoom and will be available in Spanish, Tagalog, and English. To learn more and to register for the Pepper Park Design Workshop, and/or to sign up for email updates about the National City Bayfront, visit portofsandiego.org/ nationalcitybayfront.

Commercial Crab Fishing Violations Are on The Rise CALIFORNIA— Wildlife officers from

the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Marine Enforcement Division have noticed a change in the number of commercial Dungeness crab cases in north coast waters since December 2021.

Since Dec. 9, 2021, there have been five cases from Crescent City and two in Eureka regarding possession of undersized crabs by commercial crab fishermen. The most common violation has been the commercial harvest of

undersized crabs during this period.

Commercial Dungeness crab fishermen are expected to measure their entire catch and keep only crabs equal to or greater than six and one-quarter inches, which is slightly more than the required five and three-fourths width required of recreational crabbers. In addition, there is a provision in the law to authorize possession of no more than one percent of the catch to be undersized.

In all seven cases, citations were written, the loads were seized, and the proceeds from the sales of the crab were directed to the Wildlife Preservation Fund until the cases are adjudicated in court. In the seven cases, 575 undersized crabs were collectively discovered during inspections. The seized illegal loads ranged from 8 to 24 percent undersized, making them gross violations of the one percent undersized Dungeness crab allowance. During the investigations, wildlife officers discovered evidence that some boat crews had attempted to avoid wildlife officers at the dock and had possibly dumped a load of short crabs. In addition, one of the cited violators had been recently warned by wildlife officers for possession of crabs whose length came up short. Commercial and recreational crabbers must carry a measuring device to ensure all Dungeness crab meet the minimum size limit of six and one-quarter inches for commercial harvest and five and three-quarter inches for recreational harvest. The crab should be measured by the shortest distance through the body from the edge of the shell to the edge of the shell directly in front of and excluding the points (lateral spines).

While there has been an observed uptick in the number of commercial crab violations, CDFW commends much of the commercial Dungeness crab fleet for complying with the rules governing the fishery and their significant efforts to reduce the risk of whale and sea turtle entanglements.

Empty Boat Left Drifting Leads to Discovery of Dead Body POINT REYES— On Feb. 25, a body was found off the coast of California near Point Reyes National Seashore after crews investigated an empty 42-foot fishing boat drifting in the water with no captain or crew, the Coast Guard told news outlets. A man’s body was found unresponsive in the water on Feb. 25 and was taken to the county coroner; his identity has not been released.

The beach was shut down upon the discovery of the drifting boat found with no captain on board. Officials still do not know if the body found was ever onboard the empty drifting boat.

The Point Reyes National Park Service is working closely with USCG Station Bodega Bay, and Marin County Sheriff’s Office and consulting with NOAA’s Cordell Bank Marine Sanctuary.

LEGAL ADVICE

ask a maritime attorney

2C

By David Weil

California’s Boating and Fishing News

2C The boat I was contracted to do work on DARKis BKGND being foreclosed on but I haven’t been paid yet, what do I do?

QUESTION:

I am a boat mechanic and I have been working on a project to re-power a 70-foot motor yacht. The job is almost complete, but I just received notice that Federal Marshals have seized the boat on behalf of a bank to foreclose on a preferred ship mortgage. The owner of the boat still owes me a lot of money, but he won’t return my phone calls. I spoke with the bank’s attorney, and he advised that I should hire an attorney to file my own claim in the bank’s Federal lawsuit. Then I received notice that the owner filed for “Chapter 7” bankruptcy protection and all legal proceedings are frozen while the Bankruptcy Court sorts through all the claims. I believe that this project should qualify for a maritime lien, but I never recorded a lien with the Coast Guard. At this point I am completely lost.

Can he walk away from my claim? Should I hire a bankruptcy attorney or a maritime attorney? Or both? Please help.

BW law ANSWER: Bankruptcy law and maritime don’t intersect very often, but when they do, things get very complicated in a hurry. The short answer for our reader is similar to the advice that we provide most often in this column: “It depends.” Here, it depends on the type of bankruptcy protection the boat owner is seeking, and it depends on whether there will be any equity left in the boat after the bank is paid.

I won’t use this column to stray into an extensive lecture on bankruptcy law and procedure, other than to say that a personal bankruptcy may be broken into two main categories: A reorganization of debt under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code, or a liquidation of debt under Chapter 7 of the Code. Under Chapter 13, the Bankruptcy Court works with the debtor and all of the creditors to come up with a plan that will eventually pay off as much debt as possible.

Under Chapter 7, the debtor walks away, and the Bankruptcy Court administers the sale of most of the debtor’s assets to pay the creditors. Our reader is dealing with a Chapter 7 case filed by the boat owner so we will focus on that proceeding. A Chapter 13 case will be more complicated, since the Bankruptcy Court must first Please see ATTORNEY, PAGE 7

Attorney From page 6

answer the question of whether the boat will be sold.

Under both forms of bankruptcy, secured creditors (creditors whose claims are secured by one or more assets as collateral) will be paid first through the sale of their collateral, while “unsecured” creditors (claims that are not secured by collateral) fight over what is left after the secured creditors are paid.

Secured creditors must usually record their claim against the collateral at the time credit is granted. For example, a car loan will be secured when the lender records its interest with the DMV. Similarly, a home loan or payment due to a home contractor will be secured when the lender or contractor records a First Trust Deed or Notice of Claim of Lien with the County Recorder’s office.

This is where maritime law starts throwing curve balls into the Bankruptcy process. A loan that is secured by a boat will require the recording of a “Preferred Ship Mortgage” with the Coast Guard’s National Vessel Documentation Center (NVDC). But, as we have discussed often in this column, other types of maritime liens may create a valid security interest against a vessel without recording anything anywhere. So, in our reader’s case, he will have a valid security interest against the boat for his engine re-powering project even though he never recorded his claim with the NVDC. In any bankruptcy, proceedings against the debtor will be stayed until the Bankruptcy Court orders otherwise.

Creditors must request “relief from stay” from the Bankruptcy Court to move forward with their claims against the debtor, including relief to move forward with the sale of the boat, which brings us to another maritime law curve ball.

As noted by our reader, parties involved with a maritime bankruptcy are dealing with two separate courts - the Bankruptcy Court and the Federal District Court. Both courts are empowered to order the sale of the boat to satisfy the creditors’ claims. But it is well established that only the Federal District Court is empowered to sell a boat free and clear of all liens and encumbrances where clear title will be recognized internationally. Therefore, under most circumstances, the creditors with claims against the boat will seek leave from stay to allow the District Court to administer the sale of the boat.

With the Bankruptcy Court out of the picture, the creditors with claims against the boat may now proceed with the sale.

But first they need a seat at the table. In our reader’s case, the bank initiated the case against the boat by filing a lawsuit in Federal Court and having the boat seized, or “arrested,” by U.S. Marshals.

Other claimants may enter the case to assert their claims, but this is not automatic. They must request permission from the Court to “intervene” as additional plaintiffs, or “Plaintiffs in Intervention.” This procedure will require our reader to draft his own complaint against the boat owner and the boat, as if he were initiating the case rather than the bank. If he fails to intervene, his claim against the boat will be lost forever when the boat is sold pursuant to the order of the District Court.

All of this can be very expensive, which

brings us to the other issue we presented at the beginning of this article. Does the boat owner have any equity in the boat after accounting for the amount owed to the bank?

Any judicial proceeding for the foreclosure of claims against an asset must deal with this mathematical question.

What is the asset worth, and do the claims against the asset exceed the value of the asset? If so, the Court must prioritize the claims and distribute the proceeds from the sale of the asset accordingly. In our reader’s case, and in most maritime foreclosure cases, the holder of the preferred ship mortgage has priority over everyone else. There are exceptions to this rule but that’s for another day. Here, our reader must do the math and determine whether there will be anything left from the pro-

ceeds of the sale after the bank is paid. If not, the cost of joining the lawsuit as a Plaintiff in Intervention will be a waste of money.

We should note that our reader may not be completely out of luck if he does not intervene in the District Court case against the boat or if the bank’s claim consumes all of the sale proceeds. If he loses his claim against the boat, he will still have a claim for breach of contract against the owner personally. Unfortunately, in a bankruptcy case like this, his breach of contract claim against the owner would be characterized as an unsecured claim, and he would need to line up with the rest of the unsecured claims for a portion of the remaining funds available in the bankruptcy.

Finally, our reader asked whether he

will need to hire both a bankruptcy attorney and a maritime attorney. The sad reality is that he will, at a minimum, need to consult with both attorneys. His decision will depend on the facts of the case.

MEXICO REPORT: FORMER PRISON ISLAND TO OPEN FOR TOURISTS IN APRIL

no more criminals serving time, just smiling tourists

Visitors to Isla Maria Madre will start at the Visitor Center’s new complex called Muros de Agua – Jose Revueltas, referring to the island’s walls of water that had prevented prisoner escape for more than a century.

The Islas Marias chain of islands are no longer a forbidden prison colony; they’re a newly minted Natural Protected Area, and the new Visitor Center on Isla Maria Madre is scheduled to open in April

mountainous terrain, take photos of the pristine flora and fauna, and relax in the Muros de Agua Visitor Center.

But tourists will need to bring their own food and water and because the island has no overnight facilities, all tourists must embark and depart the island before sunset.

The amount of time visitors will be able to spend on the island has not yet been released, but it must be limited by the speed of whatever vessels are being planned to ferry them there and back. From Mazatlan, Isla Maria Madre lies about 93 nautical miles southwest. From San Blas it’s about 72 nautical miles west, and from Puerto Vallarta municipal harbor, the voyage to Isla Maria Madre is about 96 nautical miles northwest.

Recreational boaters who wish to enter any of Mexico’s 183 existing ANPs normally must buy an annual Conservation Passport from CONANP for $80.

But details have not yet been released from CONANP or SecTur about how and when individual recreational boaters aboard their own boats can visit this brand new ANP and the Visitor Center and nature park on Isla Maria Madre, or if and when individual recreational boaters will be allowed to anchor to rest, fish or dive at other suitable locations along this gorgeous 26-mile long chain of islands.

MEXICO — The Islas Marias has a scary past for boaters. Recreational boaters in the past reported being shot at when they strayed too close to the Islas Marias prison colony. Or they were politely escorted outside the prison’s 20-mile no-go perimeter by Mexican Navy patrol boats bristling with armed guards.

But in 2019 the federal government removed the last 16 prisoners and closed the 114-year-old prison on Isla Maria Madre, the largest in the four-island chain which lies about 55 nautical miles off the state of Nayarit.

At first the government renovated the prison buildings into a small environmental-education camp that hosted small groups of university students for about a year. The other three islands that had remained untouched for nearly a century were designated as a Natural Protected Area (ANP) “with the nature of a biosphere reserve,” and Isla Maria Madre was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Now, starting in April 2022, Mexico’s federal tourism and environmental departments (SecTur and SEMARNAT) are planning to open only parts of Isla Maria Madre as a fledgling nature park, one step at a time.

Mother Maria Island w ill host no more criminals serving time, just smiling tourists arr iv ing aboard sma ll excursion vessels at Puerto San Balleto, an open bay on the northeast side of Isla Maria Madre where the new Visitor Center complex has been built.

The park’s Environmental and Cultural Education Center will contain an outdoor sports area called “Muros de Agua – Jose Revueltas,” referring to the island’s walls of water that prevented prisoner escape. Many prisoners had lived in semi liberty, confined to the island only by shark infested waters and strong currents.

To begin this new endeavor, a limited number of day-trip tourists, called “excursionistas,” will be ferried out no more than three times a week from Puerto Vallarta, San Blas and Mazatlan, according to Jorge Chavez of the Mexico Daily News.

This plan to limit the number of visitors on the island is intended to limit their impact on the natural environment.

Last year, several Mexican Navy vessels were planned to ferry all registered visitors out and back, but this year private excursion boats are planned with Navy escorts. Details for purchasing tickets have not been released.

After disembarking at the Visitor Center, tourists will be able to hike the newly groomed trails over Maria Madre’s

Quagga and zebra mussels are invasive species that clog water systems and push out native species.

By: JORDAN B. DARLING S A C R A M E N T O — On Ma rch 7, the

California Division of Boating and Waterways announced the availability for grant funding under the Local Assistance Quagga and Zebra Mussel Infestation Prevention Grant Program.

The f unding is ava ilable for recreat iona l Ca lifor nia reser voirs through April 15 and provides funding for preventative measures put in place to protect California’s waterways from quagga and zebra mussel infestations.

Quagga and zebra mussels are invasive aquatic species from eastern Europe and were first found in California in 2008.

The mussels breed quickly and in large numbers. They can clog water intake structures and accumulate on docks, buoys, boat hulls, anchors, and beaches, disrupting recreational use and creating expensive maintenance costs.

They also cause problems for native species by taking over areas and blocking out native mussel species.

They c a n outcompete native mussel species and other filter-feeding

invertebrates. In the Great Lakes, the invasive species has been linked to a fatal neuromuscular illness in birds called avian botulism.

“Because of their filter feeding habit, it has been estimated that these mussels can bioaccumulate organic pollutants in their tissues by as much as 300,000 times when compared to concentrations in the water in which they are living,” said a post from the University of California, Riverside Center for Invasive Species Research. “Consequently, these pollutants can biomagnify as they are passed up the food chain when contaminated mussels are eaten by predators (e.g., fish and crayfish), who in turn are eaten by other organisms (e.g., recreational fishermen who eat contaminated fish).”

The spread of the mussels between fresh waterways likely occurs through the movement of recreational boats.

The mussels can survive for two to three days out of the water, and if boats are not adequately cleaned and dried, the boat can introduce the mussels to new environments.

The grant program is for California reser voirs that are open for public recreational activ ities and are not infested with quagga and zebra mussels; early-detection monitoring data collected between March 2020 and the date of application is required.

“Reservoirs within California. Defined under California Water Code, Division 3, Part I, Chapter I, Section 6004.5, a “reservoir” is referred to as “any reservoir

There is an estimated $3 million in grants with awards between $200,000 and $400,000 to provide preventative measures.

“1) Planning and Assessment projects, and 2) Implementation projects,” said California Grants Portal. “Examples of projects include developing Prevention Plans, purchasing pressure washers/ decontamination units, inspection

programs including staffing, materials, and supplies. DBW coordinates and c ol l a b or a t e s w it h t he C a l i for n i a Department of Fish and Wildlife on many aspects of this program.”

Eligible applicants can visit the DBW website and create a profile on the OnLine Grant Application (OLGA) http:// dbw.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=28822.

Boaters are asked to make sure they clean, drain, and dry their boats to stop the spread of invasive species.

Local San Diego high school students have created their own business tying fishing rigs.

By: JORDAN B. DARLING SAN DIEGO — What started as a school project has turned into a small business for a group of high school students out of San Diego.

The team of five has created YUFISH, a business building and shipping premade fishing rigs for anglers.

“Our company started as a school project,” said 16-year-old high school junior and CEO Ethan Blaszkowski. “We are all a part of a class called Advanced Business Management and, in this class, we make our own businesses, and we decided to make a fishing business.”

Blaszkowski, a lifetime angler, and his friends have been able to use the business not just for classwork but as a way to find either a new hobby or a way back to one they enjoyed as kids, in addition to finding enjoyment in stepping out of

the classroom to create a business and enjoy fishing.

“Another factor in my opinion, is extending beyond the world of academia and doing something in the real world, and that is most valuable to me,” said an 18-year-old senior and COO Alan Yang.

The team pulled inspiration from their own experiences with fishing and the inconvenience of tying their own rigs.

Looking to mitigate the inconvenience, they put their heads together and found a way to mix their enjoyment of fishing with their classwork to create a business and what they hope will be a lasting experience.

“Our ultimate goal is to make a business,” said Blaszkowski. “We really want to start getting our sales up. We want to create a business that holds and creates a difference for fishermen.”

The way the business works is that anglers go on to the website and fill out a form with three questions asking about the type of fish they want to catch, where they want to fish, and what the conditions will look like that day.

YUFISH pulls the answers, uses them to tailor a rig to the angler’s needs, and then ships them out.

Aside from their aspirations, the teens

look to donate part of their profits to their hometown.

“We wanted to recognize a problem that a lot of people had, and tying rigs can be difficult for some people and beginners,” said 16-year-old junior and CFO Jitendrakumar Jeenagala. “And also, we want to help a cause which is why we are donating 10 percent of our profits to charity.”

Fishing is tied to the environment, and anglers know the amount of waste that ends up on the shore; the kids are looking to help the clean-up effort.

“Here in San Diego, our waters are really a part of our life, and living next to the beach is the best part about living in San Diego, and we want to keep these areas clean,” The whole team from left to right: Jitendrakumar Jeenagala, CFO, 16 years old, said Jeenagala. “So, we are donatEthan Blaszkowski, CEO, 16 years old, Maitryi ing a part of our profits to beach Bhanage, CMO, 17 years old, Alan Yang, COO, clean-up organizations, and really, 18 years old, Victoria Moller, COO, 17 years old we think it will be helpful for our communities that are part of the motivation behind the company.”

blips on the radar

By Katherine M. Clements

Oil platforms Ellen and Elly, off the coast of Long Beach sit about 250 feet above the ocean floor and 4.5 mile offshore. Image provided by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement.

OC Oil Spill Continued…

WHAT HAPPENED : On Oct. 2, 2021, an oil

spill flooded Southern California after a 17-mile-long pipeline connected to an oil platform was broken.

Officials said the crack in the pipeline was 13 inches long, and it quickly released 25,000 gallons of crude oil into the ocean while devastating marine life and habitats.

Amplify Energy notified the Coast Guard on the morning of the spill when employees conducted a line inspection and noticed a sheen in the water.

The pipeline had been “suctioned at both ends to keep additional crude out,” said company President and CEO Martyn Willsher, adding that he didn’t expect more oil to be released.

The leak was reported 5 miles off the coast of Huntington Beach and originated from platform Elly.

On Nov. 19, the cargo ship Beijing was targeted as the most likely cause of the spill as the ship allegedly dragged its anchor across the pipeline, creating the crack.

As a result of the spill, fisheries and beaches were closed, and urgent spill response clean-up teams were activated.

Amplify Energy has begun to see lawsuits against them as well. Plaintiff Peter Moses Gutierrez Jr., a disc jockey whose company regularly performs at Huntington Beach, which bore the brunt of the spill, accuses Houston-based Amplify Energy Corporation and its Beta Operating Company subsidiary of creating a private nuisance by failing to operate the oil rig connected with the accident safely. His complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on Oct. 4, 2021.

In addition, a class-action lawsuit was filed in federal court against Amplify Energy by Laguna Beach property owners, who argue that the company’s negligence in responding to the oil spill just off of Orange County’s coast has negatively affected their beachfront property.

WHAT'S ON TAP : A lawsuit was filed on Feb.

28 by Amplify Energy against two shipping companies accused of dragging anchors over the pipeline.

Amplify Energy named container ships, the MSC Danit and the COSCO Beijing, in the lawsuit that was filed at the end of the business day in a federal court in Santa Ana as part of the ongoing litigation regarding the spill before U.S. District Judge David O. Carter in which Amplify Energy is a defendant. The lawsuit claims the ships were improperly anchored during a large storm that caused the ships to move, dragging the anchor across the ocean floor and over the pipeline.

Amplify Energy is suing the owners of the container ships, Mediterranean Shipping Co., and Dordellas Finance Corp., along with the captains and crews and other associated companies.

The lawsuit has also been extended to Marine Exchange, which is responsible for directing traffic around San Pedro Bay. Amplify Energy is alleging that if it had been notified right away about the anchor collisions, it would have “immediately assessed the situation and made any necessary repairs,” according to a statement from the company. “[The spill] should never have happened, and had these parties not been grossly negligent and had any party notified Amplify, this entire event could have been avoided,” said Amplify Energy in its statement about the lawsuit.

According to the lawsuit, both cargo ships had been anchored in San Pedro Bay since Jan. 25, 2021, awaiting to unload cargo. However, other vessels in the area anchored in deeper waters, and the MSC Danit and COSCO Beijing did not anchor in deeper waters.

“Instead, the MSC Danit and COSCO Beijing remained anchored about 4.8 miles off the California coast, next to the undersea San Pedro Bay Pipeline... which has been in place since 1980,» the lawsuit alleged.

The 17-mile-long pipeline carries oil from offshore production and platforms to Long Beach. All defendants must

know or should have known precisely where the pipeline was located; federal law prohibits ships from using anchors too close to that pipeline.

After the storm hit San Pedro Bay, the wind gusted up to 63 miles per hour, causing waves to reach 17 feet high. As a result of the storm, the lawsuit alleged the ship’s anchors were pushed across the seafloor in an area where anchoring was not allowed.

“The anchor-dragging bent and bowed the pipeline, displacing some parts of the pipeline by more than 100 feet and breaking off the concrete casing around the pipeline,” the lawsuit stated. “…Yet despite dragging anchor while repeatedly crossing over the wellcharted location of the pipeline, the MSC defendants and Beijing defendants failed to alert Amplify of the incidents. Nor did Marine Exchange -- which monitors such movements in real-time and knew or should have known that the ships had crossed over the pipeline multiple times while broadcasting that they were ‘at anchor’ -- inform Amplify of the ships’ movements.”

After the oil spill, Coast Guard officials deemed the two ships as the possible cause of the damage to the pipeline.

“Then, after one of the

COSCO Beijing’s crew members allegedly attempted to flee the country, the MSC Danit›s owner asked (Carter) for emergency relief to secure his deposition,» alleged the lawsuit. «The Coast Guard›s investigation into the anchor-dragging incidents remains ongoing.»

The lawsuit accused both shipping companies of negligence. When a vessel strikes a stationary object, courts presume the ship is at fault, the case said.

Amplify Energy is seeking punitive damages, as well as reimbursement for legal fees, the bill to repair and replace the ruptured portions of the pipeline, and the revenue lost while the pipeline has been inoperable.

Amplify is also pushing to require the Marine Exchange to notify owners of undersea property of any potential anchor drags within 24 hours of the incident.

The company also wants the Marine Exchange to block ships from anchoring in areas immediately adjacent to the pipeline when bad weather is likely, writing that “significant vessel traffic and congestion ... combined with the ever-present threat of heavy weather, make future anchor-dragging incidents reasonably likely.”

Avoidable maintenance oversights account for 8 percent of boating accidents and 4 percent of boat-related deaths.

Rather than place yourself at extra risk, you can ensure your boat is water-ready by adhering to a strict maintenance schedule. Here are tips to remember, assembled by boating experts.

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

SOUTHERN C ALIF. —With boat sales

expected to rise in 2022, more people are out and about, including boat showrooms.

For our new boaters, Luke Ackerman, Co-founder of DockWorks and Head of Industry, has some professional tips for necessary boat maintenance.

“The biggest tip that most new boaters don’t know is preventative maintenance is probably the most important thing that a new boat owner can do for their boat,” said Ackerman.

Most new boat owners don’t recognize what needs to be done on their vessel but have not developed any bad habits yet.

“Before you leave the dock to go out on a trip, you should have a checklist, and you should go down it every time,” said Ackerman.

This checklist should include: 1. Did you untie the boat?

2. Do you have all your fenders in the correct spot?

3. Is the boat easily moving in and out of gear?

The same importance applied to your checklist before departure needs to be applied to your boat’s maintenance log as well.

“Preventative maintenance will always cost so much more after the part fails, whereas if you had done preventative maintenance in advance, that repair wouldn’t be as bad,” said Ackerman. “It is significantly cheaper to replace a bilge pump every three to five years instead of waiting until the float switch fails, and then the boat fills up with water, and now you have water damage that will help destroy electronics.”

A difficult part of preventative boat maintenance isn’t only knowing what needs to be done but keeping track of what was done the last time you serviced your boat.

“I know it sounds so simple, but the best example I can provide is last time you put synthetic oil in your engine for your oil change and this time you can’t remember so you put regular in your engine; that will permanently damage your engine,” said Ackerman.

Therefore, keeping a maintenance log is valuable and will outline, what you did last time, and when you had it done.

However, unlike a car, there is currently no standard system that a marine technician or a boat mechanic would be able to save the records of your boat maintenance to, according to Ackerman.

“The more accurate and thorough your records are, is a much better way to have a good resale value,” said Ackerman.

“And the better your records are, the faster you’ll be able to sell your boat and the more value you will get out of it.”

Another tip from Ackerman is to pay attention to how backlogged marine mechanics are, specifically in Southern California.

“If you need a 100-hour service done, it’s a minimum six to eight weeks wait, minimum,” said Ackerman. “So, if you have to have a propeller swapped out, you’re not going out on the water for a month or two. Knowing about it well in advance is very important.”

Second to preventative maintenance, Ackerman stresses the importance of having a departure and arrival checklist when taking your boat out on the water.

“Things can be as simple as making sure that before you leave the dock, you have opened all the thru-hulls; turned on the engines; test the boat in forward and reverse; make sure everything is working,” said Ackerman.

Each checklist should be catered to the make and model of your boat and should be checked off the same way for arrival to the dock as it is from its departure.

Lastly, Ackerman recommends that everyone take a boater safety course and wear a lifejacket on every voyage, no matter their vessel’s size.

“Those three things are the most important.” said Ackerman. “And after that, just have fun and use your boat as often as possible. The more you use your boat, the better condition it will stay in. You don’t want to just leave it sitting.”

In addition to Ackerman’s expert tips, other valuable tips include cosmetic and internal maintenances: • Manage your gelcoat with suitable materials. The gelcoat on your boat requires proper maintenance to protect the boat’s surface. Yes, gelcoats are strong, but the wrong cleaners can dissolve them or stain them, so pick the right boat cleaners and use them regularly. You can remove most stains with careful buffing when the gelcoat is strong, but if it starts to wear down, you may not be able to remove all stains, so applying protection right from the start is effective.

• Always wipe off all moisture from the watercraft. Always keep several towels around to dry off your vessel when it is wet. This doesn’t mean only when you pull out of the water. However, drying after use is an effective part of preventing waterline stains; still, all types of moisture are harmful to your boat if they linger. For example, saltwater will corrode boat components; morning dew will encourage mildew; scupper water can stain the hull with microscopic minerals. You can make a difference by drying off the water when you see it.

• Keep track of your boat’s oil schedule. Refer to your boat’s engine manual to

see how often your boat’s oil should be changed and with what type of oil.

A general rule of thumb is to change your boat’s oil at least once a year or every 100 miles.

The easiest way is to take your boat to a certified dealer and have them change your oil.

You can change it yourself w ith an Rust will eat away at your boat’s structural integrity.

SOUTHERN CALIF.— Summer is on its way, and summer weather makes for the best boating days. For parents who wish to bring their little ones aboard, there are several safety tips to consider before those toddlers hit the deck.

Sandra Aris is a mom, entrepreneur, and frequent-family boater who has created an article of protective clothing for children called Sandra Aris Pants with extra padding to encourage confidence and resilience for children while onboard.

In addition to the pants, Aris also has four main tips for keeping your child safe while onboard.

According to Aris, a life jacket is one of the most essential pieces of protective equipment that you can strap to your child.

“Kids that are under thirteen are required to wear a life jacket,” said Aris. “It’s really important to get the right lifejacket for the weight and body shape [of the child] and also to spend the time fitting it. It’s really important to fit the lifejacket to the child because if they were to fall in the water, you need to make sure their head stays above, and then it’s easier for you to pull them out.”

According to boatingsaftey.com, the U.S. Coast Guard requires children under the age of 13 to wear a life jacket, but anyone older is only required to carry life jackets on board unless participating in sports that require the jacket like water skiing.

However, it is always best to wear a

life jacket, regardless. In addition, boatingsafety. com offers a free downloadable document that provides proper instruction on fitting a life jacket to a child. The document is a checklist that shows how to make sure the life jacket is official, how to properly wear it so it stays below a child’s c h i n , a r e t he y comfortable in the jacket, and if it is strong enough to keep them afloat.

The next tip Aris recom- The padded pants are each handmade and come in different mends is to estab- designs. In addition, the pants can protect your child long after lish rules while the boating day is done. aboard a vessel.

The excitement of being on a boat can flood a child’s behavior.

“Having established a few rules ahead of time can help get control of a child’s hyperactive,” said Aris. “It can help keep a good vibe on the boat and stop any drama from happening. Of course, it could be different rules depending on the type and speed of the boat, but I think it’s very critical to have rules laid out ahead of time so that everything they are doing, they understand their boundaries.”

Freedomboatclub.com confirms this second tip in an article about toddler boating safety tips. Tips include reminding children to stay seated while the boat is moving, never to hang their feet off the boat, and to remain quiet during the Sandra Aris is an active boater and a mother. docking process.

Bumps and bruises are part of growing up, but for a toddler who hasn’t grown into their sea legs, a wobble on a moving boat can cause a big problem. Here is a guide to keeping your little one safe while aboard.

anywhere else you go with a toddler,” said Aris. “Having specific rules in place while on the boat is key. Remind them to stay seated while the boat is moving, have them keep all arms and legs on the boat, and stay quiet. Expect that they will act the same way they do at home.”

The third tip provided by Aris is to dress a child when they are on board appropriately.

“Humans are not made to be on moving ground, and especially when you’re young and learning to balance,” said Aris.

A r is ha s created pants for toddlers with padding in the knees and the butt. Using technology often used in motorcycle attire, the pants offer an extra cushion for wobbly toddlers. Slip-resistant shoes are another strong option when keeping toddlers upright on a boat.

Native Shoes is a shoe company that offers good options for waterproof, slip-resistant shoes for go-getter toddlers. The grippy shoes are lined with holes to let water escape the shoe while holding traction.

Aris also recommends that a child wear a pair of sunglasses, a hat, and sunblock to protect from sun exposure.

The last tip offered by Aris is to have a member on board that is CPR certified and qualified to navigate an emergency.

“It’s lifesaving if something were to happen, and it also will help the confidence of everyone else on board,” said Aris. “It has a ripple effect, if something were to happen, we would know what to do, and you can be efficient, and you can save a life. When you have to take kids on the water, it provides ease when someone knows how to execute dangerous situations.”

The U.S. Coast Guard has made a boating safety checklist that is available to be downloaded for free in addition to an equipment and departure checklist.

The checklist includes: Inspecting life jackets.

Explaining the different markers and symbols throughout the boat.

Offering safety and survival tips if a crash were to occur.

Dana Point celebrated its 51st annual Festival of the Whales on March 5 and 6 with two days of food, music, games, and competitions.

All proceeds went to several different charities and organizations to better the community, state, and world.

Jean Pierre Van Swae, “The fly’” was Grand Marshal of the Parade in his bright yellow, rustic chevy.

OC Sheriff, Don Barnes and his wife Marilyn cruised the paraded in a mustang to represent the OCSD.

at sunset with a welcoming ceremony by the local Acjachemen Nation members and a surfers’ paddle out at the Marine Protected Area behind the institute. The Welcoming of the Whales is a ceremony held to kick off the festival and honor the whales.

Following the beach ceremony was a reception sponsored by the Dana Point Harbor Partners with guest speakers held inside the institute. Cetacean expert and guest speaker Dr. Ari Friedlaender included an update about Dana Point’s World Cetacean Alliance designation as the first and only Whale Heritage Site in the Americas. In addition, the welcoming ceremony had food trucks, complimentary beverages, and the institute offered free interactive educational activities and displays.

On March 5, the festival commenced at 8 a.m. with the fifth annual and hilarious Cardboard Classic & Dinghy Dash, a cardboard boat building contest and race (the Dinghy Dash), Business Barge display and voting, food, celebrity emcee, music, and awards. The classic event has become a favorite of the festival, and we all saw why, drawing hundreds of participants and even more spectators to Baby Beach each year. Participants constructed dinghy boats made of cardboard only mo-

ments before they raced to the beach to see who could row their boat out to and around the buoy and then back to the sand.

All the event proceeds are donated to the Dana Point Aquatic Foundation to support educational boating for at-risk youth in the Dana Point community.

Using reclaimed steel, damaged curbside trash bins, and single-use water bottles, Stockdill and Salnikova aim to connect the scale of the waste and its impact on the ocean. The sculpture further highlights Dana Point Harbor Partners’ partnership with “Stand Up to Trash” – a nonprofit beach cleanup group. The artists will be using trash collected from Stand Up to Trash’s beach cleanups.

DANA POINT—The 51st annual Festival of the Whales was hosted in the whale watching capital, Dana Point, from March 4-6. This year’s festival was held in honor of Don Hansen, the festival founder. Hansen passed away on Jan. 5 of this year at the age of 87. The festival has been the centerpiece of Dana Point since 1971.

I attended the two-day festival and was lucky enough to see the parade return after missing the previous year due to COVID-19.

The celebration kicked off on Friday, March 4, behind the Ocean Institute, with the Welcoming of the Whales ceremony and reception. The free event began

Giant inflatable parade balloons were walked through the harbor to celebrate the magical migration of the whales in Dana Point, the first Whale heritage Site in the Americas.

At 9 a.m., marine muralist, Wyland, continued the Landmark Whale and Dolphin Adventure “Art Lessons in the Wild,” where children created their work of art aboard a Dana Wharf vessel and had Wyland personally judge the artwork. There were multiple winners and a single grand prize winner who walked away with a signed work of art by Wyland titled “OCEANS,” valued at $4,000. After the art lesson, children could go on a free two-hour whale and dolphin watching adventure.

The festival’s “Magical Migration” parade began at 10 a.m., starting its route at the Richard Henry Dana statue on the Island Way bridge. The parade traveled over the bridge and then turned right onto Dana Harbor Drive and ended at Dana Point Harbor Drive and Golden Lantern. The parade featured giant parade balloons designed as a whale, a turtle, and a shark, marching bands, military units, city officials, floats, and local businesses. Families and friends lined the streets as the show passed by, cheering, and applauding the businesses, councilmembers, pups, and locals of their city as they passed by.

On the other end of the harbor, the Whales, Tails & Ales Street Fair began at 10 a.m. as well. This pet-friendly street fair was filled with family and four-legged friends to enjoy craft beer, delicious snacks, dog costume contests, local artisans, dog-friendly vendors, art booths, inflatable slides, and much more.

AB-2287 California Ocean Resources Stewardship Act of 2000 The amendment expands the California Ocean Trusts' ability to work with other state agencies.

By: JORDAN B. DARLING

S A C R A M E N T O — On Feb. 16, Assemblymember Mark Stone introduced a bill amending the California Ocean Resources Stewardship Act of 2000 to expand the ability of the Ocean Science Trust (OST) to contract with other state agencies.

The original act created OST as the scientific arm of the Ocean Protection Council (OPC) and the act currently only authorizes OST to work with the council. The amendment would expand those abilities.

In 2004 the California Ocean Resources Stewardship Act of 2000 was

amended to create the OPC and subsequently the OST. The trust comprises a team of scientists who provide research and understanding to the OPC. They bring a science-based thought process to legislative decisions.

Currently, the act only authorizes the OST to work with the OPC, but the bill would give the OST the authority to consult or work with other state agencies.

“For ex a mple, t he Depa r t ment of Insurance has been interested in contracting with them,” said California Assemblymember Mark Stone, author of the bill. “But right now, OST can’t accept that contract, but the Department of Insurance is trying to understand impacts of sea-level rise and other changes in the environment and its effect on insured properties across California. Our insur-

March 6, with some of the same events and a few new ones. Sunday featured the Diamond Dig hosted by the monarch Beach Sunrise Rotary Club. Baby Beach is filled with youngsters who dug for diamonds to support the Diamond Dig’s goal to raise money for various children’s charities locally and worldwide.

The festival celebrated from 12-5 p.m. with concerts on the water featuring musicians Drea Sheva, Neon Nation, and Who’s Zeppelin- Tribute to the Who & Led Zeppelin. A BBQ was thrown during the concerts, with proceeds benefiting Dana Hills High School Swim Program and a Spirit Garden for those over 21, benefiting the Marine Corps League South Coast Detachment.

The Sunday festival hosted a Kids Fishing Clinic and Trip hosted by Dana Wharf Sportfishing for hands-on learning for kids from fishing experts.

In addition to the weekend full of ceremonies, festivities, education, and food, for all of March, Dana Wharf Sportfishing and Whale Watching as well as Capt.

Dave’s Dolphin and Whale Safari will have boats going out to look for marine life.

As a first-time attendee of the event, the Festival of Whales was an exciting and fun celebration that brought together too many people to count. From city officials to local businesses, it seemed everyone was accounted for. From people to pets, there was a smile on every face. Vendors were happy, and so were shoppers.

As a first-time attendee, I can assure you I’ll be there next year.

A complete list of the Festival’s attractions can be found on the Dana Point Festival of Whales website.

ance could utilize and would love to be able to utilize the scientific expertise and research capability of Ocean Trust to help them develop better policies with respect to insurance needs in vulnerable communities. So, all the bill really does is build upon OST’s expertise and allow them to contract with state agencies other than just the Ocean Protection Council.”

Stone, who sits on the OPC, was approached by OST after the trust was approached by other state agencies looking for their expertise which prompted the bill to expand the OST’s abilities.

“They are a significant resource for California and because they are only authorized to work with the Ocean Protection Council right now, it’s an under-utilized resource,” said Stone. “...For us, it is being able to expand Ocean Science Trust’s ability to work with other agencies because it is a state agency already working in this arena. It just seems like an unnecessary limitation that they can’t work with other state agencies.”

The bill was introduced in February and has no funding attached to it.

Sisters Seas the Day While Saving the Ocean

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS DANA POINT— Roughly six years ago, Camille Woods, a Dana Point local, started a unique version of a social club that meets only on the water. After deciding to take a step back from her career in real estate, Woods formed Sea Sisters, a club combining friendship with a mutual love for the ocean.

Woods, 72, has spent her entire life on the ocean, she transformed her recreational kayaking adventures into a way to chase whales, report injured marine life, and clean up ocean trash, all while enjoying the company of her friends out on the water. On slow days, the ladies will dock their pedal powered Hobie Kayaks in the Dana Point Harbor and enjoy a lunch out together.

“When we are out there, we pick up so many mylar balloons and trash,” said Woods. “It’s heartbreaking, and truthfully I would love to see them outlaw mylars because the fish pick at them, and then they die, and then when the balloon loses all its color, the bigger marine life eats them because they think they are fish.”

According to dolphinsafari.com, nearly 45-50 million balloons are sold in California each year, and according to the Ocean Conservancy’s Annual International Coastal Clean-Up, almost 300,000 balloons are found along the

Camille Woods image

U.S. beaches. As a result, the Entanglement Network estimates over 100,000 marine mammals die from plastic entanglement or ingestion each year. In addition, research has found that mylar balloons don’t begin to break down, if at all, until several years in the ocean.

While the sisters are collecting trash, they also keep an eye out for whales and dolphins. The ladies often leave the sand at 8 a.m. and return at 11 p.m. They pack their lunches, radios, and endurance for their long day of supporting the ocean and admiring the adventures.

“We love to chase the whales,” said Woods. “We have seen hundreds of dolphins at a time. I’ve even had a baby whale come right past me to show me its blowhole. It doesn’t scare me at all. I always say I’ll have a great story for my grandkids. They’ll say, ‘oh how did your nana die?’ and they’ll say, ‘she got ran over by a whale.’”

According to REI.com, if you see a whale while out in a kayak or a smaller vessel, and the whale approaches closely, stop paddling and let the animal pass. If you need to move around, do so from behind the whale and avoid sudden changes in direction. In addition, do not chase a whale head-on and give them as much space as you can. It is perfectly described as “sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.”

As far as the environment is concerned the sisters are a very consciences group.

“We also like to look for and report injured animals. For example, I recently was out there [the Dana Point Harbor], and two sea lions were completely wrapped on their neck with fishing line.

So, what we do is we take pictures, document where they are, and I send it to the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach, and they will devise a plan to help them,” said Woods.

The Pacific Marine Mammal Center rescues, rehabilitates, and releases marine mammals. To contact them, please call (949) 494-3050. If you believe an animal is injured, you can also contact the West Coast Marine Mammal Stranding Network at 1-866-767-6114.

The Sea Sisters all have a fun, unique flag to make themselves more noticeable on the water for the larger vessels surrounding them. justs in favor of women being free to come and go as they please. All are welcome under the reasonable requirements of Sea Sisters; all intentions must be good and productive.

“There are ten real core ladies, but we will have people come in and out of the group, but not everybody has the time to meet constantly, so it all depends on the

day,” said Woods.

The trips are also adjusted to the women and accommodate any issue that might bring down their pace. This is done by rerouting, relocating to calmer waters, and adjusting the duration of the trip.

The club is a group for all, and those interested can contact Camille Woods at (949) 887-2519.

MPA Leadership Team Releases Work Plan for 2021-2025 The Marine Protected Area work plan outlines a set of goals for California’s 124 MPA’s in the coming years.

By: JORDAN B. DARLING SACRAMENTO — The Marine Protected

Area Statewide Leadership Team released the 2021-2025 work plan with an organized guide of goals for California’s 124

Marine Protected Areas.

The plan is tailored to the work of the leadership team, a collective group made up of state and federal agencies, representatives from native tribes, and representatives from various non-profit organizations and other stakeholders across the state who provide input and consensus on the needs of MPAs. “That is what the work plan does,” said Tova Handelman, California Ocean Protection Council Senior Marine Protected Areas Program Manager. “It provides the plan for the MPA statewide leadership team to work across all the differ-

ent interests and jurisdictions and values that all the specific leadership team members have.”

The tasks in the plan revolve around four ma in pr ior ities for the MPA management program.

“The MPA management program was set up with four main priorities,” said Handelman. “Those priorities were informed by MPA science across the world.

Scientists have looked at what makes a successful MPA or a successful MPA network, and it basically comes down to these four main priorities.”

The four focal points for the plan are:

Outreach and Education: R aise awareness of the ecological, socioeconomic, and cultural benefits of MPAs, improve understanding of regulations to increase compliance, and inspire stewardship of the MPA network.

Policy and Permitting: Ensure equitable, science-based governance of California’s MPA network through adaptive management.

Trim-tab controls like these from Lenco are typical. The red lights indicate how far each tab is deployed.

By pushing down into the stream of water passing the boat, trim tabs create lift at the transom, which in turn lowers the bow. individual controls is twofold. First, they allow the tabs to work independently, so you can correct for a list to port or starboard using a single tab. Second, they’re wired so that activating the portside tab controller actually makes the tab on the starboard side of the transom deploy, and vice-versa, so you have intuitive control at the helm. When you want to lower the port side, you simply press “Bow Down” on the port tab controls, and the starboard tab deploys to lift the starboard corner of the transom, lowering the port

side. The lift that is necessary to lower the bow is created when the tabs begin to interact with the water.

In their fully retracted position, trim tabs don’t interact with the water as it races past the hull when the boat is on plane. However, if you push “Bow Down” on one or both of the tab controls at the helm, the tabs at the stern deploy downward and begin deflecting water. This does two things: it creates lift at the stern, lowering the bow. And it creates drag, reducing your efficiency slightly. Note that

In a perfect world, your boat would pop up on plane and run relatively flat and level with no input from the helm.

But that’s in a perfect world. In reality, boats are rarely evenly weighted port and starboard, and adding passengers often destroys whatever balance the designers engineered in the first place. The good news is there’s an easy fix in the form of trim tabs.

Trim tabs are a pair of “paddles,” for lack of a better word, at the transom of your boat. They articulate up and down at a hinge that rests just slightly above the bottom edge of the transom. In some cases, these tabs are mounted into specially designed pockets, so they don’t protrude behind the boat. But they’re still recessed so they don’t interact with the flow of water past the hull until they’re deployed.

The tabs are controlled at the helm with two buttons or joysticks - one for port and one for starboard - marked “Bow Down” and “Bow Up.” The beauty of these

on inboard-powered boats, this can improve the angle of thrust from the props, cancelling out the increased drag.

You can also use the trim tabs to level out the boa and adjust for list by deploying the trim tab on the side of the list.

When adjusting the trim tabs to correct for a list, it’s best to use short bursts of trim, then pause to allow the boat to settle so you can judge the effects of your adjustment. Overcorrecting can lead to an unpleasant surprise, with the boat heeling over hard without warning, particular if your passengers shift around in response. Also, get into the habit of making sure your tabs are fully retracted before pushing the throttles forward each time Please see TRIM TABS, PAGE 19

meet that need, or as climate change becomes more prevalent on the coasts, the plan can be adjusted to meet the needs of vulnerable communities.

“It is actually a living document,” said Handelman. “…It is part of the nature of the MPA network to adapt [to] management. You adapt your management decisions and your activities as things change, especially in the current climate or in the current case of climate change. Things are changing, and we need to be able to be nimble enough to react and respond to those changes.”

There is an oppor tunity for the community to be involved in the plan through the MPA Collaborative Network.

“MPA Collaborative network is a member of the leadership team,” said Handelman. “That is an excellent way for people who are living on the coast interacting with their MPAs, they care about the MPAs, and they want their voices heard on a leadership level for them to get involved with their local MPA collaborative that way their voices can be heard when they are making decisions in Sacramento.”

The network is a grassroots organization that organizes stakeholders across the state in a localized way, opening the opportunity for local voices to be heard.

Island was discovered in 1542 by Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo who called it La Victoria after one of his two ships; soon after discovering the island he died from complications of a fractured arm.

San Clemente Island is the southernmost of the Channel Islands of California. It has been owned and operated by the United States Navy since 1934 and is a part of Los Angeles County. It is roughly 21 miles long and contains 57 square miles of land.

San Clemente Island is of volcanic origin and erupted millions of years ago from the sea. The entire island is covered with a burned, volcanic, sharp rock. Many caves and caverns were formed on the island when it was a

molten mass by gas bubbles in the lava.

The gas bubbles would burst on the surface leaving the caves or caverns in this cooling mass of molten rock.

The Tongva, an indigenous group from California, well-attested from Catalina Island, called the island “Kenkopa.” The Chumash, Native American people from central and southern coastal regions of California, are also believed to have influenced the inhabitants.

San Clemente is known as a secret city for naval training purposes.

Modeled on Beirut and Baghdad, San Clemente’s “fake city” was built in the 2000s to train units for Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT).

After years of sheep ranching in the early 1900s, the islands› desert environment adds a further Middle

Eastern flair to military training in the fake city.

San Clemente Island is composed chiefly of volcanic rock. It has marine terraces and several canyons, streams, waterfalls, and freshwater pools on its surface.

The island is parallel to the major faults of the California mainland. It is often described as a tilted piece of land rising out of the ocean, a dramatic example of the earth’s crust with a steeper northern side and a more gently sloping southern side.

San Clemente Island promotes environmental education on the Central Coast through lectures, service trips, and habitat restoration volunteer opportunities. It conducts research and monitoring to identify further habitat restoration efforts.

you go to get on plane so you don’t get caught off guard by a tab-induced list.

Most trim-tab manufacturers offer an auto-retract feature for this reason.

In addition to correcting for a list, trim tabs can also be handy to raise or lower the bow of the boat slightly when heading into a quartering sea. You can often improve the ride and reduce the amount of spray by changing the way the bow and chine interact with the chop as you cut across the wave faces.

Trim tabs are wired for intuitive control, so that when you push the starboard “Bow Down” button (near right), the portside tab actually deploys, lifting the port stern quarter and lowering the starboard bow. Starboard by deploying the trim tab on the opposite side can knock the spray down sooner, reducing the amount that flies back

Sailing By: JORDAN B. DARLING WORLDWIDE— On March 1, US Sailing

announced their plans to suspend the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes, teams, and Race Officials from participating in US Sailing events.

The suspension backs policies and actions taken by the International Olympic Committee and World Sailing in support of the Ukrainian people and the Ukrainian sailing community.

On Feb. 24, Russian forces invaded Ukraine through air, land, and sea, leading a bombing campaign through the country and forcing the mass exodus of almost two million refugees.

Russian President Vladimir Putin justified the attack by claiming Russia was unsafe and faced an immediate threat from modern Ukraine, saying that Ukraine was under the control of a puppet Nazi government.

The conflict has continued for several

weeks while the international community looks for ways to impede Russia from moving forward.

Many international sports communities have come out to support the Ukrainian people. However, Russian athletes and sports affiliates have been banned from participating in events, including the International Paralympic Committee, and Russia has been banned from hosting the Champions League final.

Aside from isolation from the international community, the European Union, United States, United Kingdom, Japan, and Canada have cut off key Russian banks from the international Swift payment network, shut off their airspace to Russian airlines, and imposed personal sanctions on Putin and several other members of government.

US Sailing and the international sailing community are calling for an end to the violence and hostility in Ukraine.

Protests calling for an end to the Russian invasion of the Ukraine have sprouted up around the world.

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS CORONA DEL MAR— The 2022 Sailing Convention for Women (SCW) is fast approaching its April 2 date at the Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club in Corona del Mar after being rescheduled from its original date of Feb. 5 following the new California mandates for inside meeting restrictions.

The 31st annual event features an allday series of on-the-water instruction and shore-based workshops, from beginners to experienced women sailors. Boat US and many other local marine-associated businesses have sponsored the event for 30 years; the BCYC has hosted the event for the last 28 years. Registration will be available until March 28.

The day begins at 8 a.m. and runs until 8 p.m., starting with breakfast to fuel the sessions of morning instruction and workshops. A buffet lunch will launch sailors into an afternoon of continued learning opportunities, followed by a spirited happy hour. The evening will complete the day with a freshly plated dinner while attendees enjoy time spent with other women around the table, as well as non-stop raffle prizes.

“The Convention gives women an opportunity to meet other women, sailors, discuss options for cruising, racing, and recreational sailing, and find out about women’s sailing organizations in their area, as well as instructional programs available,” said founder and producer, Gail Hine.

The evening is topped off with dinner

Sailing in Different Weather and Wind Conditions, Its Quite an Oar-Deal Ahoy Sailors, by now your sailing knowledge should be FERRY impressive, but one problematic yet very possible circumstance is a change in weather and wind conditions.

This lesson will teach you eight lessons to adapt and recover when the weather isn’t behaving because schooner or later, you will find yourself in this situation as well as detailed measures to take to ensure full preparedness.

Stay tuned for the next lesson, which will explain different sails and what they do.

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

SOUTHERN CALIF.— Many have said that calm seas never made a great sailor. On the other hand, rough seas and heavy wind are just a rite of passage for many.

However, it could be argued that the best sailors are those who manage to avoid heavy weather entirely. Reading a weather report and planning your voyage as to avoid unforgiving weather is the best call of them all. But, if you find yourself under gloomy skies and heavy chop unexpectedly, then getting yourself back to shore becomes paramount. Here are useful advisories to execute when caught in troubled waters and extra tips for starting your voyage well prepped.

1.) Keep track of the weather while you’re out on the water: • Always keep an eye on the sky.

Fog, dark clouds, and lightning are clear signs that bad weather is approaching.

• Monitor barometric readings. A rising barometer indicates that good weather is coming, while a falling barometer indicates that foul weather is likely.

• Pay close attention to shifts in the wind direction and temperature; these are signs of changing weather.

• Be mindful of the West as bad weather usually approaches from this direction. Although storms from the East are possible and often pack quite a wallop.

• Continually monitor your radio and

weather channels and ask for information about local weather patterns by radio, especially if you’re in unfamiliar waters.

Finally, take note of what other boaters are doing. If they’re heading for shore, it can give you a heads up about coming weather changes.

2.) Identifying Changing Winds: Light Wind: Think observation and patience.

Here, the overriding strategy is to sail towards wind velocity. When it’s blowing four knots, your boat might move at two knots, which is well below hull speed. If the wind increases to six knots in a puff, you might sail twice that speed. No shift is significant enough to make up for doubling your speed, so sail to pressure in light winds at almost all costs. Pressure might be geographic, such as a wind line nearshore. It can be puffy, where you must use one puff to take you to the next. Or the wind might come in lines from one side or the other. Sometimes these puffs move down the course, so you must line up with and intersect them; other times, they move slowly, so you have to be patient and sail to them. Have everyone onboard stand up and observe while discussing the nature of the puffs.

A sailor might say, “The wind is light today. There are streaks of puffs showing on the water. We need all eyes out of the boat.”

The tactician might respond with: “Let’s make sure to sail well into the puffs because they seem to move very slowly down the course. Tack too soon, and they will never get to us.”

Pay close attention to current. The current has a more considerable relative effect when boat speeds are low.

If the current is 0.2 knots and you’re moving at two knots, that’s still 10 percent of your rate. That said, it has been found that blindly playing the current is not always the way to go. Since wind pressure will also significantly affect your speed, current is still important.

A tactician might say: “See those puffs on the water? I want to sail solidly into one of those then take it toward shore to get current relief. But unfortunately, we can’t cross the middle in a lull because the current is too strong there, so let’s wait for some pressure before tacking.”

Typically, a light-wind day is not ideal for playing shifts. Only substantial shifts are worth considering, and even then, they should be used to deliver you to the subsequent pressure.

Patience is everything. Things will happen slowly, so look way ahead, trust what you see, and stick with the

plan. Tack sparingly and wisely.

Medium Wind: Be tactical More pressure has only a cumulative effect when it’s windy enough to get up to full speed. For example, suppose it’s blowing 10 knots, and your boat is at its 6-knot hull speed. If a puff blows two knots more, you might go only 6.2 knots and point a little higher. But, of course, that’s nothing compared with light wind, where you can easily double your speed.

Play ing oscillations by tacking when heading below the mean is a classic medium-wind strategy.

In these conditions, prioritize finding and agreeing on a mean. Again, it should be a collaborative effort with one person leading.

Sometimes in this condition, you will see puffs on the water and, even though you are not prioritizing pressure, with them often comes a directional change that you can take advantage of. Ideally you can take a lift (or at least a neutral heading) toward a puff. But then, keep going if it’s a header, tack, or an even bigger lift. Either way, when you get to the puff, take advantage of whatever shift it brings, and, as a bonus, you are in more wind.

The shifts are subtle, and you will not see them on the water. React to those by keeping a close eye on the compass. On this kind of day, spend significant time close-hauled, writing down compass headings, then agree on a mean for each tack.

Heavy Wind: Hang on and go fast On a heavy-wind day, avoid excessive maneuvers. Tacks are slow relative to going fast in a straight line. Maneuvers are also tiring, and when things can go wrong, they go very wrong; it’s best to keep them to a minimum.

A windy day is a day to play oscillating shifts, but the windier and wavier it is, the more significant the transition must be to make up for lost speed during tacks. Sailing to pressure gives only incremental gains or might even hurt you if it’s blowing hard enough.

So, the priorities are usually seeking out flatter, protected water, current advantage, and geographic shifts.

Persistent Shift Day: These are difficult to recognize Any wind strength can have a persistent shift. The problem is it’s hard to recognize. So, keep an eye out for a couple of different kinds of ongoing changes.

A persistent shift can be slow over many hours. While these are incredibly important for distance sailing, they will have almost no effect on a

short course. For example, if the forecast is for the wind to go 20 degrees right over 10 hours, it will shift two degrees per hour on average. That is only 0.5 degrees per 15-minute leg, which is insignificant compared with oscillations we typically follow on the compass.

When that’s happening, an expert might say: “The wind is forecast to clock right today. But it is happening slowly, and the oscillations are 10 degrees, so let’s play the oscillations.

I will make sure to adjust our mean occasionally to reflect the expected shift.”

A persistent shift often comes all at once as a new wind fills in. In lighter air, it’s easier to see because the filling breeze brings both angle and pressure from that side. It might fill in because of a thermal, or it might be a front.

Look for any sign that might give some clue of what is coming. Those puffy clouds onshore might precede and predict a thermal. A front often comes with a line of low, dark frontal clouds. Look for darker water moving your way or sailboats sailing in something different than you are sailing in.

These are all signs of a persistent shift filling in quickly.

Hybrid Conditions: Use a mixed strategy The reality is that there is rarely a consistent kind of day as laid out in the previous scenarios. Instead, there are some priorities you can take to create a successful sailing trip.

What to do? Prioritize. Identify the most critical factors and give them weight.

Fifty percent oscillating shifts are big and medium air, so shifts are important.

Thirty percent geographic right: Not as important as the oscillating shifts but still significant.

Twenty percent current left: Current is light but still has an impact.

The three conflicting factors are now put in perspective. Shifts at 50 percent are as significant as geography and current combined, so they are for sure the focus. The current and geography directly conflict, but they’re close in importance, so I won’t stress either one. There’s one final caveat for boat-specific conditions. Not all strategies work for all types of boats. For instance, a catamaran, skiff, or foiling boat that goes 20 knots upwind will go only a few knots while tacking. A keelboat tacks okay, but there is still a loss. But a round-bottomed dinghy in flat water might have almost no loss at all. A fast boat is sensitive to pressure, where a keelboat or dinghy gets up to a hull speed of, say, 6 knots in a low-wind range, a skiff or cat gets faster and faster as the

wind comes on. The current affects fast boats less because the speeds are high compared with the current.

3.) If you’re out on the water and a storm is heading your way, you should prepare yourself, your passengers, and your boat by taking the following steps: • Make sure that everyone on board is wearing a properly secured lifejacket.

• Reduce your speed and continue with caution, keeping an eye out for other boats and floating debris.

• Close all hatches and ports to avoid swamping.

• Get your passengers to stay low in the boat near the centerline for stability and safety.

• Secure any loose items to avoid losing them overboard.

• Pump out the bilges so that your boat sits higher in the water.

• Check marine charts to find the nearest shelter, noting any hazards in the area.

• Reroute cautiously to the nearest safe shoreline.

4.) If you find yourself in a situation where a storm has already hit, here are some additional tips to ensure the safety of everyone on board: • If there is lightning, unplug all electrical equipment. Stay low in the boat and away from metal objects.

• Head the bow of the boat into waves at a 45-degree angle. This maneuver

will keep the boat in the most stable position possible.

• If your engine stops, drop an anchor from the bow to combat drifting and swamping. Never drop anchor from the stern.

• It’s essential to learn about local hazards before sailing in any new or unfamiliar waters. This can be done by obtaining local marine charts and/ or checking with local boaters and marinas. Local boaters and marinas will typically have a wealth of knowledge about boating in their area.

• Find out if there are local rules such as horsepower restrictions, hours of operation, or access to locking operations that could impact your trip.

5.) Hazards To Be Wary of Include: • Whitewater A reas- Whitewater areas can easily drag a boat or person downstream. Rocks, debris, and a strong, rushing current, are some of the dangers of whitewater.

• Shoaling Areas- Shoaling areas, marked and unmarked, gradually become shallow and are often difficult to spot without local charts.

• Hazardous Inlets- Hazardous inlets can produce abnormal currents or changes in water levels. Inlets can be narrow, shallow, or intense during bad weather. Safely running a dangerous inlet requires that you have immediate reserve power to maneuver out of harm’s way.

• Abnormal Tides or Currents- Abnormal tides or currents, ones that are

altered by weather can affect your ability to navigate or steer your vessel correctly.

Low-Head Dams- Low-head dams present a hazard for both below and above the dam. Small vessels, objects, and people can get trapped in the hydraulic ‘hole’ at the base of these dams, creating a dangerous situation. Therefore, always look for warning signs or buoys indicating low-head dams.

Powerlines- Powerlines create a particular hazard for sailing vessels or any vessel with a mast. Always ensure that your boat has enough clearance to pass beneath any powerlines safely, and if you are unsure, don’t take the risk.

Low Seasonal Waters- Low seasonal waters do not appear on local charts, which show only the average water level. However, keep in mind that waters are generally higher in the spring and lower in the summer. Adjust for low seasonal waters, as they make it more likely for your boat to run aground.

Obstructions- Pay extra attention to obstructions such as bridges, channel openings, and commercial fishing nets. When you are close to these types of obstacles, proceed with caution.

6.) Reefing: The area of the mainsail is reduced by a technique called reefing. Reefing is the act of reducing the area of a sail, typically by folding or rolling one edge of the canvas in on itself. The importance of reefing in heavy weather cannot be stressed enough. A better alternative to reefing is using the right sail for the right conditions. Many a genoa jib has been reduced to shreds in heavy air when a skipper fails to change sails promptly. Much like reefing (which should be done before you need to), you should also raise your storm jib and douse your main before the heavy weather starts. Making the call to reduce sail or go bare poles can be a life-saving call when made at the appropriate time. If you don’t know how to reef or have difficulty changing sails, you should refrain from sailing in heavy air until you have had a chance to practice in lighter conditions.

7.) Establish A Float Plan: With cell phones and email, we often think help is just a text message away now. However, at sea, especially in heavy air, sending a text message or making a phone call can be impossible. By leaving a detailed account of your planned voyage in writing with someone close to you, you can assure that it will not go unnoticed when you are late. This small action cannot be stressed enough.

8.) Avoid Glass and Label Your Canned Goods: In rough seas, the galley can become a battlefield. The pitch and yaw (rotation around the side-to-side axis is the pitch; rotation around the vertical axis is called yaw) of rough seas and gusty winds can turn a Dutch oven into a scud missile.

Likewise, things like glass jars and wine glasses soon become shrapnel as objects fling themself out of cupboards, smashing on bulkheads and cabin floors. You can protect your glassware in the cupboard with silicone webbing available at most big box stores and online mega marts.

Another helpful item to have aboard when heavy weather hits are canned goods. They are battle-tested and virtually impenetrable, even when stored in dank old dark holds of a sailboat. The drawback with can goods is you have to open them to see what’s inside when the humidity and seawater peel off the labels.

Please do yourself a favor and label the can’s lid before putting them in the galley locker. Three days at sea with water seeping into every uncaulked hole can make even the most astute seaside chef scratch their head when they pull an unmarked can from the hold.

To ensure that your time on the water is safe, you need to know and follow the regulations and guidelines found in The ABCs of California Boating. This booklet is based upon the California Harbors and Navigation Code, Vehicle Code, Penal Code, and California Code of Regulations. Still, it uses simple terminology rather than the legal language of these laws. Not all provisions of law about boating are included. Consequently, the booklet is not suitable for law enforcement or litigation. You may read through an online copy or order a free copy to keep on your boat.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FISHING NEWS

Ocean Salmon Forecast for 2022 CALIFORNIA— In a virtual meeting held on March 2, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife heard from a panel of scientists and other experts about ocean salmon’s 2022 ocean abundance protection.

Estimates show an increase in ocean salmon compared to 2021, but the numbers are still well below historical averages.

Sacramento River fall Chinooks are estimated at 396,500 for adult salmon, and Klamath River fall Chinooks are estimated at 200,100 adult salmon.

The estimates were put together by state and federal fishery scientists and predicted the abundance of adult salmon in California›s oceans.

They are used to determine ocean salmon fishing regulations and ensure the conservation of the species.

Preliminary guidance proposed by the National Marine Fisheries Service suggests a continued prohibition of coho retention.

It constrains council fisheries when combined with freshwater fisheries to a total exploitation rate (ER) on Rogue and Klamath coho salmon hatchery stocks to no more than 15 percent, except that the Trinity River population would be limited separately to a total ER of 16 percent.

For Coastal Chinook salmon, NMFS recommends that the council push for a 40 percent buffer on the preseason target ocean harvest rate (preseason targets that will achieve postseason attainment

of 16 percent given the pattern of recent model performance).

The Pacific Fisheries Marine Council will hold a public hearing on March 22 to hear comments from the public on the three California ocean salmon fishery

regulatory alternatives which were set to be adopted during the March 14 meeting.

The PFMC will make final regulatory measures during their April 6-13 meeting in Seattle, Wash. Regulations for the 2022 season for ocean salmon fisheries

starting before May 16 will be finalized in March, while fisheries open after May 16 will be decided during the April meeting.

C A L I F O R N I A — The California Depa r tment of Fish a nd W i ld life (CDFW) announced on Feb. 25 that it is now offering public fishing opportunities through the Shared Habitat Alliance for Recreational Enhancement (SHARE) program.

SHARE is a controlled access program incentivizing private landowners to create wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities to the public in exchange for financial compensation and liability coverage. SHARE is funded with SHARE Access Permit application fees and recognizes the essential contributions made by these landowners and appreciates their investment in California’s enjoyment of fish and wildlife resources.

SHARE has worked with more than 50 private landowners since 2010 and has enrolled more that 92,000 acres for hunting events throughout California. In April the program will expand to include fishing.

Applications are now being accepted for the inaugural SHARE fishing opportunities at Barrett Reservoir in San Diego County. Those whose applications

are accepted will fish for largemouth bass in the reservoir during CDFW fisheries surveys conducted over four days in April.

Four access permits will be drawn for each of the four days: 16 access permits total. The catch-and-release surveys occur during the bass spawning seaThe SHARE program launches with preseason catch-andson, a month before release days At San Diego’s Barrett Reservoir. the water opens to the public.

All SHARE opportunities are available through a random drawing, and those Barrett Reservoir winners are allowed to bring one fishing or non-fishing plus one. Each pair will be provided with a boat by the City of San Diego and have the option of using their own fishing equipment or borrowing SHARE program gear. A current fishing license is mandatory for all participants on the day of their event but is not required to apply.

A $12.45 non-refundable fee is charged for each access permit application.

SHARE provides angling and hunting opportunities throughout the state by creating long-term partnerships with landowners. The CDFW hopes to provoke an appreciation for California’s diverse landscapes and support its longstanding fishing and hunting opportunities for today and future generations through the program.

For more information on this event including how to apply for an opportunity or how to enroll your property in SHARE Fishing, please contact Jessica Moye at Jessica.Moye@wildlife.ca.gov and visit CDFW’s SHARE Fishing Program webpage.

 SAN DIEGO — Spring is less than a week away and Southern California anglers are already getting a taste of what likely lies ahead once the calendar turns the page and we formally enter the new season. The past week has seen warming air temperatures and some boats out on exploratory trips fishing offshore waters looking for tuna were reporting finding unseasonably warm water that was as warm as 61.9 degrees. What was most important though was they were able to locate an area holding good numbers of yellowtail around some of the kelp paddies, which also produced a 100-pound bluefin tuna. 

The 100-pound bluefin was reported to have been hooked on a sinker rig fished sardine and there was another lost bluefin hookup reported on a flylined sardine. Most of the bluefin activity originated from deep meter marks found around kelp paddies and via scanning sonar and spotting breaking fish. The area holding the bluefin and yellowtail was within a one-day range of Point Loma. This offshore activity was found by boats fishing the 1000 fathom trench between the 213 Bank and the 60 Mile Bank which has you down around 55 miles 208 degrees from Point Loma.

Old Glory out of H&M Landing was one of the boats out on a recent exploratory offshore trip and they posted a fish count of 23 anglers on a 1.5-day trip catching their limits of 115 yellowtail and a 100-pound bluefin tuna. Tribute out of Seaforth Sportfishing also out on a recent 1.5-day exploratory offshore trip reported 32 anglers with 19 yellowtail.



The recent days of nice weather have also seen some sportboats and private boats out looking for yellowtail around Los Coronado Islands. No yellowtail have been caught that I know, most boats returned with good numbers of bottom fish which have been made up of a mix of reds, salmon grouper, whitefish, rockfish, and a few lingcod.



There was recent yellowtail activity reported at North Island when a private boater reported having a two-minute showing of yellowtail that were up chasing bait on the surface. This showing of yellowtail was found while fishing the Keyhole off the south tip of North Island but unfortunately, those yellows did not want to bite.



The most recent sportboat counts from Los Coronado Islands start with San Diego out of Seaforth Sportfishing out on a full-day trip had 21 anglers catch 74 rockfish, 42 reds, 1 sheephead and 47 whitefish. Liberty out of Fisherman’s Landing also out on a full-day trip and had 31 anglers catch 4 lingcod, 1 sculpin, 140 rockfish and 90 reds.



One of the best areas for bottom fishing around Los Coronado Islands has been at hard bottom spots to the north and the northwest of North Island in 30 to 50 fathoms. Another highlight zone from recent days has been fishing hard bottom areas around the Rockpile in the 20 to 45 fathom depths.



The fishing along the San Diego County coast has been good for a mixed bag of reds, rockfish, whitefish, sculpin, sand bass, and calico bass. The coastal fishing has also provided a chance at catching a bonus yellowtail, halibut, or lingcod.



The best areas for the rockfish fishing as listed from the south to the north have been the hard bottom to the southeast and to the west of the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma, the Dropoff at Point Loma, the Point Loma Pipeline, The 270 to the west of Mission Bay, the upper end of La Jolla, Del Mar, Leucadia, South Carlsbad, and Box Canyon.



The best areas for a mix of sand bass, calico bass, and sculpin has come from various hard bottom and structure spots. For the bass and sculpin, the best areas have been the Imperial Beach Pipeline, the hard bottom to the northwest of Buoy #3 at Point Loma, the Lighthouse Ridge off Point Loma, the Jetty Kelp outside of Mission Bay, the Variety Kelp off Pacific Beach, the upper end of La Jolla, the Anderson and Buccaneer Pipelines, the artificial reefs off Oceanside and Box Canyon.



The zone providing a chance at a yellowtail has been outside of the stretch of coast between Pacific Beach and Torrey Pines. A good depth range has been in 18 to 30 fathoms and the yellows tend to show in fishy looking areas where skippers are seeing birds, bait, and porpoise. There was also a recent report about yellowtail showing during the evening hours along the kelp line at the upper end of La Jolla. Look for meter marks, sonar marks and spots of breaking fish to locate yellowtail.



Iron has been working best once yellowtail are located with surface iron or yo-yo iron both are effective. There was also a recent report about a couple of lost hookups on slow trolled sardines and slow trolled mackerel while trolling along the kelp line at the upper end of La Jolla. Good choices for yo-yo iron have been Salas 6X Jr. and Salas 6X jigs in the blue and white color combination.

Good choices for surface iron have been Tady 45’s and Salas 7X lights in sardine colors and in blue and white.



There continues to be an occasional halibut biting at spots up and down the San Diego County coast. Places where occasional halibut have been caught Please see FISH REPORT, PAGE 27
