Catfish Have a Body That can Taste

Facts About Affectionate Sea Creatures Brought to you by NOAA

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

Happy belated Valentine’s Day to all of you humans and marine creatures. Here are five fun facts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

1. Have a (huge!) heart

Did you know that according to the National Institute of Health, the average adult has between 2,000 and 4,000 taste buds? That number may seem like a lot, but it is small compared to the animal with the most. That’s because this creature’s taste buds go beyond its mouth and extend all over its body.

between breeding and feeding areas of any sea turtle, with some averaging 3,700 miles each way. So that’s a genuine long-distance relationship.

Catfish, those large fish named for their feline-like whiskers, typically have more than 100,000 taste buds. According to Woodland Park Zoo, some larger catfish can have as many as 175,000.

Who has the biggest heart on the planet? Whale, whale, whale — it’s no surprise that it belongs to the most enormous creature on the planet. The blue whale is the winner, with a heart weighing over 1,000 pounds. That’s almost as big as a dairy cow.

2. Quantity versus quality

The blue whale wins the biggest heart, but the octopus wins the most. Two of the octopuses’ hearts pump blood to the gills, collecting oxygen so the octopus can breathe. In contrast, the third heart circulates the oxygenated blood throughout the rest of the body.

Those little taste buds are sensory organs formed by cells that detect the molecules that constitute flavor. They are located all over the catfish’s body but are most concentrated on the four pairs of whiskers surrounding its mouth. These whiskers are called barbels, and they act as antennas. Along with the thousands of buds along their body, the whiskers allow the fish to detect when food is nearby and pinpoint its exact location.

3. Long-distance love

Do you think traveling a half hour to meet your date is tough? If so, be thankful you aren’t a leatherback turtle. These sea turtles undertake the longest migrations

As bottom-dwelling fish that prefer to live in muddy, murky waters, catfish have adapted to finding prey in the dark. But, although catfish have sight, they don’t need it to hunt down their food, thanks

4. Sticking together Which fish is prone to intense romantic attachment? The anglerfish, for one. Male anglerfish are much smaller than females; their life’s goal is to find females to latch onto physically. So when a male finds a female, he bites the female and fuses his body with hers.

Anglerfish have a small lure on a short stalk between their eyes that they wiggle to attract prey. While often resting on the seafloor or “walking” on modified fins, sometimes these fish swim.

Channel catfish are nicknamed “swimming tongues,” and when you hold one in your hands, they are likely getting a good taste of you.

You know what they say— love hurts. The male then provides the female with sperm to fertilize her eggs, and the female gives him nutrients.

to their tastebuds.

Having an abundance of taste buds increases an animal’s ability to detect even trace amounts of food. For example, a highly developed sense of taste is

FAST FACTS

Fishing Around the World

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

Since the early days, humans have planted their homes waterside by oceans, rivers, and lakes to be close to a food source. According to www.bouldercountyopenspace.org, fishing can be dated to around 40,000 years ago. In many cultures, fish were and remained a food source for survival. Spearfishing with harpoons was standard practice, as was using nets.

Early cultures around the world left records of people fishing. For example, tomb carvings and drawings on papyrus scrolls show Egyptians fishing and preparing fish for dinner. The ancient Egyptians used woven nets, harpoons, and hooks to catch Nile perch, catfish, and eels. Ancient Greeks and Romans wrote about fishing and recorded images by painting scenes and mosaics on vases. Ancient Macedonians documented using artificial flies to catch trout.

In China, writings and painted images were found indicating people were fishing with silk lines, a hook, and a bamboo rod— the first fishing pole. Early peoples in India caught fish using harpoons attached to long cords. The Moche of Peru painted images of fishing on their ceramic pots, and Native Americans along the California coast fished with hooks made from wood and bone and line tackle.

The use of fishing rods can be traced back over 4,000 years ago. The first rods were made from six-foot-long bam-

Letters/ Online Comments

boo, hazel shoots, or thin, tapered, flexible wood sections with a horsehair line attached. A version of a hook was tied to the end of the line.

Commercial fishermen using gill nets can be traced back 3,000 years to the Edo period in Japan. However, the earliest printed record of the recreational fishery was the book the Treatyse of Fysshynge With an Angle written by English writer Juliana Berners.

The fishing tackle began to improve around the 1600s. A wire loop was attached to the end of the rod, allowing for a running line and helpful for casting and playing with a hooked fish. Thus the fishing reel was developed; a wooden spool with a metal ring that fitted over the fisherman’s thumb. Rods were intentionally designed to have sections so the rod could be quickly taken apart and carried from one place to another.

By 1770, rods with guides along their length for the line and a reel were being used. The first proper reel was a geared reel attached under the rod, and by turning the handle, moved the spool several revolutions. Rods were also better when using strong elastic straightgrained woods such as lancewood from South America and bamboo from India.

In the late 1800s, rods made

were more robust and thinner by gluing together several strips of bamboo. A line made of silk covered with coats of oxidized linseed oil replaced horsehair, allowing for longer casts.

By the early 1900s, fishing rods were being made with fiberglass. Fishing reels were improved, and spin-casting reels soon became popular. In the 1930s, nylon monofilament was developed, a synthetic nonabsorbable suture composed of a polyamide polymer with excellent elasticity, high tensile strength, controlled elongation, and extremely low tissue reactivity. In the mid-1940s, braided and synthetic lines were produced. By the late 1960s, rods were made with carbon fiber, making them stronger, shorter, and lighter. Plastics began to replace wood for artificial casting lures.

Port of San Diego Study

Unlocks Trove of Blue Carbon Information on San Diego Bay’s Eelgrass Beds

SAN DIEGO — The Port of San Diego is working to preserve the resources of San Diego Bay for generations to come.

In January 2023, the Port released the results of its first study on carbon storage in eelgrass beds. Unfortunately, after the study was finalized and released to the public, it was discovered that there was a unit conversion error in the calculations, resulting in an overestimation of carbon storage. The Port is now releasing the revised study with updated and corrected stats.

The following are the updated critical findings from the study, conducted between October 2021 and June 2022:

 The bay’s eelgrass beds currently contain 170,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide, equal to the same amount of CO2 emitted by more than 37,000 cars annually.

 Every few years since 1993, the Port and the Navy have conducted bay-wide eelgrass surveys.

 San Diego Bay has nearly 2,600 acres of eelgrass, totaling 50 percent of all the eelgrass in Southern California and roughly 17 percent in the state.

 As much as 73 percent of the bay’s carbon is stored in the sediments of the South Bay.

 Creating or restoring eelgrass habitat could lead to more carbon storage, potentially supporting the Port’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction efforts.

This first-of-its-kind study in California was funded through MARAD’s Maritime Environmental and Technical Assistance (META) Program, which supports and promotes emerging technologies to improve environmental sustainability in the maritime industry.

Eelgrass and other coastal “blue carbon” ecosystems rapidly capture and store large amounts of carbon. Like all plants, eelgrass absorbs CO2, stored as organic carbon in their plant material, and produces oxygen through photosynthesis. When land plants die, their carbon is released back into the atmosphere as CO2. However, unlike land plants, eelgrass is submerged in water, which prevents the release of CO2. Rather, the organic carbon is sequestered into the sea floor sediments. If left undisturbed, this carbon can remain trapped in eelgrass sediments for thousands of years. Eelgrass habitats cover a small fraction of the area forests do on land, yet they can store two to five times more carbon per acre annually and do it in less time than terrestrial forests.

In addition to storing carbon, eelgrass helps improve water quality, protects from waves that erode shorelines, and is a necessary habitat and food source for many animals in the bay.

The Port will continue studying the relationship between eelgrass and

carbon storage throughout the year. By utilizing the META program, MARAD has committed $175,000 to a second year of research. In addition, a third partner, the U.S. Navy, has joined the effort, allowing the team to study carbon sequestration and storage in the Navy’s eelgrass restoration areas. As the study moves into its second year, the Port, the Navy, and MARAD hope to draw more attention to this under-studied coastal ecosystem and its potential significance in supporting local and regional carbon sequestration efforts.

The study also complements the Port’s growing portfolio of nature-based solution projects:

 Blue Economy Incubator projects –San Diego Bay Aquaculture, ECOncrete, and Sunken Seaweed.

 Pond 20 – an 85-acre proposed wetland mitigation bank to restore coastal salt marsh habitat with the added benefits of carbon sequestration and ecological enhancement.

 Native Oyster Living Shoreline Project – created oyster reefs to recruit native oysters, prevent shoreline erosion, and help with carbon sequestration.

 Shellfish & Seaweed Aquaculture Planning – initiating the planning effort to permit shellfish and seaweed farming for food production, restoration, water quality improvements, biodiversity enhancement, and carbon sequestration.

What steps do I need to take when purchasing a boat other than have a professional look at it??

“How to Buy a Used Boat.” This document provides a brief but helpful overview of the boat buying process. As for t he legal issues that may arise, it would be impossible for me to list every legal risk associated with a boat purchase, but I can provide an introduction by looking at circumstances where our clients have found themselves in litigation after a boat purchase.

Most litigation that is initiated in connection with a boat purchase is related to the physical condition of the boat. Some type of fault or damage is discovered after the purchase, and the buyer believes that the problem was either fraudulently concealed or should have been disclosed prior to the purchase. I should first note that, unlike a real estate transaction, the seller of a boat does not have any statutory duty to disclose the boat’s material faults prior to the sale. Most of these lawsuits therefore include allegations of fraud, and this form of litigation can get ugly and expensive real fast.

Since a seller has no real duty to disclose anything (so long as he or she does not lie or conceal), the buyer must find the best experts available to inspect the boat during the purchase contingency period. The marine surveyor is at the center of this, but the buyer should also obtain a mechanical inspection and, for sailboats, a rig survey. The selection of these experts is critical, and if possible, the buyer should not rely upon the recommendations of the broker or seller.

Prospective boat buyers are often surprised to learn that marine surveyors are not licensed by any government agency. Many surveyors make reference to their Coast Guard Master’s License in their marketing materials, but this is just a marketing gimmick, and a Coast Guard license has no relevance at all to a marine survey. Instead, most qualified surveyors are members of a professional (but non-governmental) trade organizationeither the National Association of Marine Surveyors (“NAMS”- www.namsglobal. org) or the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors (“SAMS” - www.marinesurvey. org). Both organizations have member directories on their web sites. The most qualified surveyors will have considerable experience with insurance claim investigation, which gives them considerable insight into what can go wrong with a boat. Your marine surveyor should also be able to recommend experts for your mechanical inspection or rig survey.

In addition to claims surrounding the condition of the boat, we see a lot of litigation involving various other forms of misrepresentation. This may relate to the boat’s features or warranty or title history or any other area where the buyer feels he or she has been cheated. Litigation, however, is not a viable form of pre-purchase protection, so the buyer should take steps to avoid these problems before the purchase. The most effective protection in this area is for the buyer to personally examine and confirm every feature that

he or she finds important, rather than to rely on the representations of the broker or seller.

For example, many boat warranties are either very limited in scope or they are not transferable. If a warranty is important, the buyer of a used boat should obtain a copy of the warranty paperwork and read it carefully. Similarly, if the features of the electronic equipment are important, the buyer should confirm that t hose features are in fact included with the equipment, rather than simply relying upon the seller’s representations. The buyer should also evaluate the performance of the boat during a comprehensive sea trial. In a lawsuit, it may be a lleged that these features were not important to the buyer if he or she failed to take reasonable steps to confirm their existence.

Title history is another area of frequent litigation. Conflicting claims of o wnership and undisclosed liens may both cause problems for a buyer. Most purchase contracts require the seller to indemnify the buyer for these potential problems, but when the problem is discovered the seller’s whereabouts may be unknown, they may be insolvent, or they may simply refuse to cooperate. The best form of protection against title problems prior to the purchase is to examine the vessel’s Abstract of Title (Coast Guard title history) carefully, and to review the title history with a documentation service or an attorney. Unfortunately, a title history is only available for Coast Guard documented vessels, and title insurance is not available to protect against unknown or undisclosed problems in a boat’s title history. As such a careful review with a qualified professional is important.

This list is just a sampling of the wide range of litigation that can develop after a boat purchase, and therefore only a brief introduction to the wide range of issues requiring careful inspection prior to signing the “final acceptance” on the purchase contract. The common thread throughout this discussion is that careful buyers must rely as much as possible upon t heir own investigation and the opinion of their own hired experts, rather than the representations of the seller or broker. In the end, it’s always better to avoid a lawsuit than to win one. A maritime attorney with experience in yacht purchase and sale transactions can be a great help to buyers or sellers who want a hassle-free transaction.

Worry-Free Sailing with Your Pets

Dana Point Boaters Send out an S.O.S.— Save Our Slips

Dana Point boaters gathered to discuss the Dana Point Harbor changes and get answers from guest speaker Supervisor Katrina Foley.

Are you planning to sail with your furry friends? Here are a few tips to make them comfortable and ensure a prepared and easy journey for both of you.

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

DANA POINT — On March 17 at 8:30 a.m., Supervisor Katrina Foley was the guest speaker at the Dana Point Civic Association Coffee Chat held at Coffee Importers in the Dana Point Harbor. While multiple topics were discussed, one topic that generated a lot of conversation was Dana Point boaters versus the Dana Point Harbor Revitalization Project.

For sailors who want to bring along their furry friends to enjoy the views, the Log has a few suggestions for getting your pets accustomed to the sailing life.

Firstly, wearing life jackets on land before going on the water and bringing a generous supply of water, especially for days when it’s hot and sunny, are two valuable tips. We prefer the life vests that secure tightly around the waist and neck and those with handles on top to make it easier to retrieve your pet in an overboard situation. Also, when looking for a place ashore for your pets to use the bathroom, confirm you are on public property to avoid any trouble, and as always, keep an eye on them and don’t let them wander.

T he Dana Point Boaters Association (DPBA) had presented the Dana Point Harbor Partners (DPHP) with a list of questions prior to the meeting that needed to be answered. At the meeting, a fact sheet with the answers to the questions was passed out to the attendees.

However, the DPHP did not respond to DPBA; therefore, the questions were transferred to Supervisor Foley’s office. It took time to get a response from DPHP, but one was received.

Before welcoming your dogs on board, you must ensure you have many safety features in place. However, your safety preparation should not end with flota -

The questions and their responses are below:

DOCK BOXES

Q: Why are dock boxes not being provided?

A: See Attachment 1 Boater Communication regarding the selection of Power Pedestals over Dock Boxes.

tion devices. A sea fence around the entire boat perimeter adds extra security, safety, and peace of mind if your furry friend leaves your eye site. While having a well-practiced pet-overboard procedure is important, it’s even more important to do everything possible to avoid the overboard situation altogether. Some sea fences can handle an impact of up to 750 pounds, so it also protects humans and equipment from sliding overboard.

A heavy-duty harness with tethering lines is also recommended to restrict your pet’s movement under challenging situations. But, most importantly, if conditions are incredibly rough, secure them in the main cabin in a barricaded spot to ensure their safety and to allow you to focus on safely sailing your ship.

Each country has its own unique set of requirements for pet entry. Some places require quarantine periods, and some do not allow dog entry at all. The worst scenario would be entering a country and having your dog placed in quarantine. We advise you to do heavy research before you set sail.

There are three main requirements for dog entry by boat when entering just about any country:

Attachment 1 reads, “Dock boxes have minimal space for components or technology, instead prioritizing the majority of its volume to discretional storage. In most cases, locker boxes promote the storage of bait, trash, paints, batteries, propane tanks, oils, cleaning solutions and other hazardous materials which unfortunately then find themselves as pollutants in the h arbor. We have already removed an enormous amount of toxic materials and trash from dock boxes in just the demolition of phase 1 & 2.”

1. Health certificate. This must be approved by a licensed veterinarian and have an official health department signature and seal.

Q: Is there a cost to use the stand-alone pump stations?

UTILITIES: WATER & ELECTRICAL

Q : Location of recent Marinas without dock boxes?

A: There may be a cost for visiting vessels.

2. International microchip

3. Rabies vaccination after the microchip has been implanted.

Some countries also require the following:

1. Rabies titer

2. Flea and tick treatment

3. Heartworm treatment

4. De-worming treatment

It is required to obtain a Pet Passport in Europe and some other countries.

A: In 2022, Bellingham Marine worked on 329 projects (excluding our licensees). Of those projects, 90 were international and had no dock boxes, with the remaining 239 projects located in the United States. Bellingham’s Southwest Division constructed 129 projects, over 100 in California. A vast majority of those projects did not use dock boxes. Nationwide, less than 5 percent of the projects Bellingham constructed had dock boxes, while less than 10 percent of Southwest projects had them. Here is a link to a recent project without dock boxes: https:// w ww.bellinghammarine.com/projects/ cap-sante/.

Q : Are there any public pump-out stations in the West Basin?

A: The need for a public pump-out station in the West Basin is being evaluated.

SLIP LAYOUT

Q: Has there been any change in the layout of the Marina since approval by the CCC?

Q: How will monthly water and electric bills be calculated? How will the utilities be controlled?

A: See Attachment 1 Boater Communication, which contains Power Pedestal and Electrical information.

DREDGING

Q: What is the schedule for dredging?

PUMP-OUT STATIONS

Q: How many pump-out stations are available at the fuel dock?

A: The Outer Basin has not been de -

We also advocate for preparing for pets’ medical needs. If you’re spending multiple days on the water that will land you at a different destination than where you started, consider researching vets around the area in case anything happens before, during, or after your journey. We recommend allowing at least four

to six weeks before departing to secure the proper permits from foreign countries or territories to bring your pet.

A: No. See Attachment 2 for a slip layout comparison.

Attachment two is a map.

When in doubt, remember:

BOAT SERVICE BUILDING

Q: Will there be any impact on boater services due to a delay in hotel development?

Documentation: Cruising internationally? Look into the regulations about bringing in a pet in the various countries along your route. Be sure to have a clean bill of health plus all immunizations from your pet›s current veterinarian.

A : No, there will be no impact on the boater service buildings due to the delay in hotel development. The boater service areas in Buildings 3 and 4 will remain

Provisioning: If your pet has a particular food preference or special dietary needs, consider stocking up because finding the right food on your journey might be difficult.

Gear: While pets don›t need a lot of specialized equipment to enjoy the cruising life, bowls and a bed that doesn›t slide will undoubtedly be appreciated. And remember a life jacket.

First Aid:

• Know some basic pet first aid.

A: Per the lease with the County, DPHP is required to do an annual survey to determine if dredging is necessary. To date, no survey data has indicated that dredging is needed (See Attachment 3 D.P.H. C onditions Survey). DPHP is also coordinating with the Corps on this effort. In addition, the Corps is currently undertaking planning efforts to repair the west breakwater. This project will also require access dredging in the main channel and west anchorage to allow equipment to access the breakwater for necessary repairs. The Corps is planning to commence construction in late 2024 and complete construction in late 2025/early 2026.

• Have your vet’s number on hand.

• Have a supply of any medications.

SLIP ASSIGNMENTS

Lastly, establishing a routine for your pet while living on a boat is ideal. This doesn’t only apply to the potty routine. It also applies to how the animal eats and gets exercise. It’s okay, even appropriate, for the routine to change slightly depending on the situation.

Q: How will slip holders with a wrongsized slip will be treated, and how will they be accommodated if their slip size is not available?

A: Based on current information, DPHP anticipates accommodating all of our existing tenants that have seaworthy vessels in the applicable sized slip.

While at sea, for example, the dogs get less exercise, so they do not need as many calories, so you can feed them less than you do when you are in port or at anchorage. Also, studies show that dogs don’t have a concept of time, but they do have an idea of order, so try to establish an order of routine even if the feeding or the walking doesn’t happen simultaneously every

After NCLA Win, Fifth Circuit Tosses Back NMFS Rule Trying to Track Charter Boats Without a Warrant

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

LONG BEACH — Long Beach— The City of Long Beach announced on Feb. 21 that it has begun preparation work for installing anticipated new boilers and heat exchangers onboard the RMS Queen Mary. The multi-phase project began in late January with demolishing the existing heat exchangers, piping, and electrical pneumatics as part of the last round of critical repairs required to reopen the Queen Mary’s hotel, restaurants, bars, and other onboard amenities this spring.

DANA POINT— The first Nordhavn 625 has arrived at Nordhavn world headquarters in Dana Point and will undergo commissioning for the next several weeks before being delivered to her Nevadabased owners, including the installation of electronics, mainly the testing of systems— LOA is 64’8.” The Nordhavn 625 is modeled after the very popular Nordhavn 55/60/63 hull.

“The amount of critical work put into our icon, the Queen Mary, over the last year has been incredible to watch,” said Mayor Rex Richardson in a press release. “We are almost there for our targeted reopening later this spring. I look forward to welcoming more visitors back onboard this historic landmark soon.”

print as the N60 but manages to feel entirely different. Leishman defines the boat as incorporating all the innovative customizations buyers were doing to their 60s and including them as the standard, including items such as larger windows, a giant galley, and a staircase arrangement that allows for a walk-in shower in t he pilothouse berth. “The boat is really cool. People are going to love it,” said L eishman.

The N625 also takes a nod from the Turkish-built N41 and N51 designs, utilizing a production boat approach to ordering. As a result, it will have more e quipment and features as a standard, equating to a more resourceful buy. Not included in the standard boat are tender and soft goods. The spec won’t be as strict as its smaller sisters, but the boat won’t be as customizable as the 60 and 63.

Demolition work is underway for the ship’s existing, out-of-commission boilers and heat exchangers. It is expected to be completed over the next few weeks, at which point installation of

“ This is the first hull of our newest project, the Nordhavn 625,” said Nordhavn Marketing Director Jenny Stern in an email to the Log. “The N625 is the third re-interpretation of the very proven N55 hull. It’s also the latest of our production-forward models that follow a more complete spec with less room f or customizations which corresponds to a more efficient build process and c uts down on costs. Most Nordhavns are semi-custom and can be tailored to a n owner’s personal style – typically the larger the vessel, the more customizations to layout there are.”

A ltogether more than 100 of the three iterations of this well-proven hull have been sold. “It’s been a solid performer for us,” Chief of Design Jeff Leishman said of the hull design in a press release. “I believed doing an update would provide us with another outstanding derivative.”

There are commitments on the first eight hulls.

After that, Leishman anticipates it will follow in the footsteps of her hull sisterships in popularity.

On the ride up from the shipping port of Ensenada, James Leishman, the salesman whose clients purchased N625 hull #1, was impressed by the vessel’s handling and commented that he ran the boat comfortably at 9 knots. “I’d describe her as a pretty fast boat,” said Leishman, adding that perhaps her most outstanding quality was how quiet the boat was u nderway. “She is super quiet, on a par with the 96.”

WASHINGTON, DC — On Feb. 23, the New Civil Liberties Association (NCLA) released a press release announcing a landmark win for charter boat fishermen across the Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has set aside a controversial Final Rule issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), which required 24-hour GPS tracking of recreational charter boat fishing vessels and reporting of confidential economic data. As Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod wrote, “in promulgating this regulation, the Government committed multiple independent Administrative Procedure Act violations, and very likely violated the Fourth Amendment.” The ruling is significant for many reasons, including that the Government tried to claim that charter boat fishing is a “closely-regulated industry” to which the

PAE was first manufactured by Mason cruising sailing yachts, and then Naval architect Jeff Leishman drew the lines for the first Nordhavn, a 46foot boat, which was produced in 1989. Dan, Jim, and Jeff are the current owners of PAE. The U.S. has four sales offices: Dana Point, CA; Anacortes, WA; East Greenwich, RI; and North Palm Beach, FL., as well as affiliate agents in the U.K., Turkey, and Australia.

The first Nordhavn 625 has arrived in Dana Point after departing from Ensenada, where she will undergo commissioning before taking off to her new owners.

The boat is built at one of Nordhavn’s partner factories, South Coast Marine, at their Taiwanese facility. It was then put on a cargo ship and offloaded in Ensenada before the Nordhavn crew received the boat and brought it back to Dana Point.

In 1973, Jim Leishman and Dan Streech met and formed a friendship while both were working at a yacht brokerage/dealership in Dana Point, California.

Lift Foils Welcomes the LIFT4

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

ISABELA, PUERTO RICO — Lift Foils, the creator of the first commercial eFoil and unequivocal leader in the space, announced the next model in their lineup, the LIFT4. Designed to prioritize three main qualities: style, longevity, and performance, LIFT4 is the quietest eFoil ever created and features technological progress in battery life, allowing riders to be out on the water longer and explore further than ever before at a fraction of the charging time of any other eFoil available. In addition, there are new color options, advanced electronics, new hardware, and a new lineup of wings.

According to Lift Foils, the LIFT4 is customizable and long-lasting. Development of the LIFT4 comes following five years of extensive usage of Lift products and acquiring feedback from more than 15,000 riders. As a result, lift Foils has updated and reworked most of its components to perfect one’s ride and create an eFoil that will revolutionize how we interact with water and nature.

“Being the designer and the rider offers a closed-loop experience where you can really hone in on what you’re feeling and why you are feeling it,” said Lift Foils Founder and CEO Nick Leason in a press release. “Riding an eFoil is not only about going out and surfing but also about silencing your mind, getting into a flow state, and connecting with nature.”

Since Lift Foils started designing eFoils in 2016, the company has continuously pushed the boundaries of battery technology. Developed in-house by the company’s engineers, the new Gen4 batteries provide a good experience on and off the water and offer a unique and state-ofthe-art battery management system, or BMS, that optimizes each ride’s performance and efficiency, therefore extending the lifespan of the battery overall as a result.

With the Gen4 battery system, charging time has been reduced to 50 minutes for the Full Range model and less than 30 minutes for the Light Battery. This feature allows riders to maximize their time on the water and spend less time waiting for gear to recharge. Lift Foils has accessed battery cells used by the industry’s best electric vehicles, which feature the highest energy capacity per cell. The Lift Full Range Battery offers ride times of up to twoand-a-half hours, and the Lift Light Battery offers up to one-and-a-half hours. In addition, the Gen4 batteries feature new housing, redesigned to create a rugged, lab-tested, and field-proven product.

Lift Foils announced it’s focusing on safety and reliability while increasing lon-

gevity and reducing weight. In addition, the housing has a new ergonomic handle and rubber feet for maximum comfort and protection. Upgrades and refinements have also been made to the new LIFT4 eBox for an effortless and near-silent experience on the water.

Lift Foils’ Quiet Ride Technology System is composed of an advanced motor

controller, their smoothest and quietest controller to date. The new system utilizes the latest technology in the electric mobility industry and enhances the ride experience by cutting any existing vibrations or sounds in half. As a result, riders won’t have to listen to their equipment

SWAP MEET

Co-founder Nick Leason, an engineer and avid surfer, came up with the idea for the original eFoil in 2015 by applying the technology from smartphones, electric vehicles, and even drones into a board that would let its rider glide above the water without needing to be driven by wind or waves.

The Rule would have required charter boats to install onboard an NMFSapproved Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) tracking device—an “anchor bracelet”—that continuously transmits the boat’s GPS location to NMFS, whether the ship is being used for a charter-fishing trip or something else. Charter boat operators “are responsible for purchasing the VMS units,” which the Final Rule estimated would cost upwards of $3000 plus a monthly service fee of $40 to $75. NCLA argued this 24-hour GPS surveillance was not only unnecessary and unduly burdensome but also that this requirement violated the Fourth Amendment by searching without probable cause or a warrant, exceeded the authority granted by the Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA), and was arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).

but rather to the natural surroundings. Regarding design and ease of usability, Lift Foils is paying attention to details and has updated some small but essential items like the latches.

The LIFT4 offers updated carbon fiber latches, both engineered and manufactured in a factory in P uerto Rico. These new latches feature a specially designed ergonomic shape and shave significant weight from an eFoil assembly. They also offer precision tensioning and automatically regulate pressure inside the hatch compartment, making opening and closing in all conditions easier.

F or the LIFT4, Lift Foils also introduces new wings to create the ultimate flying experience for customers. The new Camber Pro Series takes everything Lift has learned about wing design and construction and has developed the smoothest eFoil-specific wings. In addition, they’ve fine-tuned the shapes and curves that define wing performance and create an even more balanced feel for the r ider. The new Camber Pro Series comes in three sizes: small, medium, and large. Two additional back wings have also been introduced to offer the appropriate balance between stability and carving performance: 36 and 46 Glides.

Catalina Island Ranks 19/150 For Small Towns You Should Visit

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

CATALINA ISLAND — The travel website, FamilyDestinationsGuide.com, surveyed 3,000 families to determine the top 150 small towns they would like to visit this year. Of the 150 small cities, Avalon was ranked 19th and was the highest-ranked town in California.

Avalon was voted higher than Sausalito, who won spot number 26, and Ojai, 63rd.

Nonetheless, Avalon was voted higher than both of those lovable cities. According to the article published on the site, “it is a great vacation destination for families due to its stunning natural beauty, the abundance of outdoor activities, and va-

riety of family-friendly attractions.”

Although this isn’t new news to us Southern California residents, it is just another bragging right for Catalina. In January of this year, Travelandleisure. com writer Carrie Dennis published a list of the “20 Most Beautiful Small Towns in the U.S.” That article ranked Avalon at No. 3, topped only by Girdwood, Alaska, and Sedona, Arizona, for towns with a population under 20,000.

Other lists are more activity-specific, but some aspects of Catalina brought it into the mix. Also, in January of this year, Backpacker.com posted an article noting the best hiking trails to tackle in 2023, with recommendations for the month to visit them. For visitors joining the Island in February, it suggested Catalina Trail as

Canada Makes History with First Event Win

Canada’s Phil Robertson has made history by securing its first-ever event win in a deadlocked showdown against home favorites New Zealand and season leaders Australia on the waters of Whakaraupo, Lyttelton Harbour.

By: LOG STAFF

I n one of the closest final battles of the season, the Canadians went head-tohead with Peter Burling’s hometown heroes, with close crosses and lead changes

throughout the match.

All three boats had a great start, making the competition more exciting, but Canada was first at Mark One with the all-important inside track.

Despite falling off the foils and picking up a boundary penalty, the Canadi-

ans were consistently faster t han the New Zealanders and crossed the line to pick up 10 season points.

It marks the first win for the young team, which previously lost during the Finals of Bermuda and Chicago earlier in the season.

“We gave it a good shot of letting the Kiwis back into it, but we managed to scrub the penalty and come fast into the bottom, so happy days!,” said Robertson in regards to Canada’s win.

Lyttelton Harbour, New Zealand

K iwi Robertson added that he was ‘stoked to win at home.’

“I’ve got my parents, wife, and brothers here, and it’s a first win for Canada –we’re trying to be competitive with the top teams, so today is just an example of what we can do,” said Robertson in an interview with Sail GP.

C anada barely beat Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team in the final moments of the fifth fleet race.

Tom Slingsby’s Australia never posed a serious threat as the Final unfolded despite winning two races on the second day of racing in Christchurch.

However, the event results mean the Aussies sit comfortably at the top, leading the overall season leaderboard with 84 points, while New Zealand remains in second place with 73 points. France will stay in third with 69 points despite finishing fifth in Christchurch but has a fragile one-point lead ahead of Emirates Team GBR in fourth.

There will be a tight battle between France and Emirates Team GBR for the final place in the three-boat, winnertakes-all Championship Final in San Francisco, which will take place May 6-7, where the season champion will be determined.

Maneuvering Your Boat with Dock Lines— Part Three of Five

3. When ready to shift the boat, slightly reduce pressure on the line, and allow the line to pay out in a controlled manner. 4. Once the ship has moved to the desired position, check the stern line by wrapping it around the cleat and securing it as usual.

Please note that the scenario described above assumes the stern line is strong enough and of sufficient length to reposition the boat to the new location. If that is not the case, replace it with a longer line before shifting. Once secured, you may need to shift the stern line to another dock cleat or piling if another one is better positioned.

dock and need to move your vessel forward a few feet to free up space for another boat to dock at your stern. The wind is blowing, but luckily blowing from your stern and along the dock in the direction you need to move. Use the wind to move your boat along the dock while controlling it with your port stern line.

If there is concern about keeping the vessel under control (due to stronger winds or currents), you can have a crew member check the bow line during the maneuver. Finally, you can also use checking to control a vessel in other situations. For example, when docking during high wind or rough current conditions, a dock line with one or two wraps around a piling can be used to control movement into a slip or berth by simply adjusting pressure on the line.

SANTA BARBARA— The Santa Barbara Yacht Club will be hosting the 2023 Choas Rally from March 25-26. The Chaos Rally was initially created in the summer of 2020 as a preliminary way to get boats back on the water in a low-density yet fun and engaging way. The event has multiple levels of creativity, allowing competitors to choose when they start over the course of two days and the order in which they will round each of the designated course marks. Every boat must begin no earlier than 10 a.m. on March 25 and finish no later than 4 p.m. on March 26. Participants can choose to start on either day as long as they complete the course by 4 p.m. on Sunday, March 26. The order in which competitors can select their start time will be decided via a live random drawing online on Thursday morning preceding the race. Each competitor will submit their top three start time options, and a schedule of starts will be put on the online notice board as soon as competitors declare their start time window. Each boat must start on or after their selected start time but no later than four minutes after their start time. There will be no race committee for this event, and each boat will be required to record its start time, order in which they pass the marks, and finish times. This will be delivered via text or email to the SBYC Race Director for the event to be scored. Registration is now open and available online via Regatta Network. To register, please visit https://www.regattanetwork.com/clubmgmt/applet_registration_form.php?regatta_id=25905.

Have you ever wondered or even considered what it would be like to participate in a regatta? Then continue reading. Regatta is a word that was first documented as a gondola race in Venice, Italy. Initially, the word regatta was used to define the general name for boat competitions since the 18th century. Today regattas have expanded, including rowing, canoeing, windsurfing, and sailing. Regatta sailing is a very complex, worldwide sport but remains very popular among amateurs, leisure sailors, and professionals.

Regatta participants strive to cross the finish line first. However, speed is not the only deciding factor for victory in these diverse races. Strategy and tactics used by the individual sailors are a strong contributing qualification to becoming the w inner. The successful execution of tactical maneuvers, accurate observation of the opponent, and assessment of wind directions will determine whether the sailor can sail faster and reach the finish line first. All the while, the sailors must still abide by various rules, which referees determine on water and a jury on land.

A sailing regatta, by definition, is a sporting event consisting of a series of boat or yacht races. The competition was formerly a defined route driven by a minimum of two boats within a given period. Some competitions may be less than an hour or while others may take up to several months. A differentiation is made between single-class regattas, where only boats of the same class are allowed. However, some regattas allow boats of different classes to compete against each other.

However, to qualify for participation in a regatta, registration and applications are only some of the tasks at hand. Sailors need to be able to read their boat like the back of their hands and know precisely how a tactical situation on the water needs to be manipulated in order to work to their advantage.

MARINA DEL REY— The South Coast Corinthian Yacht Club will host the Lido Invitational on April 1. This race is a standalone race and not part of any series. The format will be similar to the Sunstroke/ Thursday Night Dinghies series which commences on April 27. This race will be governed by the rules as defined in the Racing Rules of Sailing. One design classes will be subject to the rules of their respective class. The event is open to one-design dinghies. To be eligible to compete in any race of the series, competitors must complete and sign an online entry form at RegattaNetwork.com and pay entry fee prior to 5 p.m. on the evening of March 31. The race entry fee is $15 for single-and double-handed classes. Non-registered boat may pay $20 cash to PRO, dockside any time up to 11:30 a.m. The series entry fee for Juniors under the age of 25 is $10. The Starting Signal will be at 1 p.m. for the first race each evening, with five races scheduled. Results and prizes will be announced in the clubhouse after racing where light snacks will also be available. For the complete NOR, please visit https:// bit.ly/3L02OLN.

Participating in a sailing regatta isn’t always easy on the wallet. Aside from the price tag that hangs from a sailboat, equipment, insurance and transport, registration fees, and participation fees are a lso added to the tab. For example, participating in a regatta on a level such as A merica’s Cup can get you a bill for millions, but it all depends on the regatta. Nevertheless, many national and international sailing regattas allow sailors to pa rtake in the event of a much cheaper caliber and with normal means.

SAN DIEGO — On April 1, the Navy Yacht Club San Diego will host the Quicker/Tarantino Invitational. The regatta will be governed by the Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS), the rules of PHRF Southern California and San Diego Class Rules and By-Laws, the rules of the competing classes (except as any of these are altered by these sailing instructions), and by the USCG Navigation Rules Inland. Entries are limited to single-hulled boats 20 feet or more in length overall and multihulled vessels. Three races are scheduled for all classes. The scheduled

warning for the first race will be 11:55 a.m. Racing shall take place on windward/leeward courses in San Diego South Bay. The start and finish area will normally be in the vicinity of San Diego channel buoy 30. The awards ceremony will be held following racing (at approximately 3:30 p.m. at the NYCSD Club House patio at Fiddler’s Cove Marina. Hamburgers, hot dogs, and beverages will be provided for all racers, club members, active-duty military, and guests. This regatta is a Sailors for the Sea “Clean Regatta.” As such, all competitors are encouraged to use non-single-use water bottles and recycle all appropriate items. In addition, competitors are reminded of RRS 47, which states that competitors “shall not intentionally put trash in the water.” Temporary bow numbers shall not be used.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) announced that the commercial ocean troll salmon fishery seasons that were scheduled to open between March 15 and May 15 in all areas from Cape Falcon to the Oregon-California border have been canceled for 2023.

It was reported that multiple stocks of California Chinook salmon are at extremely low abundance and are projected to fall below target spawning escapements.

California’s Ocean Salmon Stocks Have Poor Outlook

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

ODFW announced that the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) spoke with the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) and the states of Oregon and California to form a plan of action regarding the scheduled commercial troll Chinook salmon openings off Oregon.

Officials with the NMFS said that for ocean salmon seasons for Sacramento River fall Chinook, “extraordinary measures are needed in 2023 to address these circumstances and to ensure that fishery management is not a contributing factor.”

Oregon fisheries typically intercept the stocks throughout the area to the South of Cape Falcon, significantly contributing to Oregon’s spring and summer

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

At the annual Salmon Information Meeting held virtually on March 1, state and federal fishery scientists presented the numbers of spawning salmon that returned to California’s rivers late in 2022 and announced the abundance forecasts for key California stocks. The 2023 projection for Sacramento River fall Chinook, the most predominant stock harvested in California’s fisheries, is estimated at 169,767 adults, one of the lowest forecasts since 2008 when the current assessment method began. Likewise, the forecast for Klamath River fall Chinook is 103,793 adults, the second lowest forecast since the current assessment method began in 1997. While low and disappointing, neither abundance forecast is the lowest recorded. In 2009, the Sacramento forecast was 122,200; in 2017, the Klamath forecast was 54,200.

“This is a decades-long trend, and the past few years of record drought only further stressed our salmon populations,” said Charlton H. Bonham, Director of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), in a press release. “Unfortunately, low stock abundance is somewhat expected despite protective and restorative actions California has taken to increase hatchery production, improve release strategies, and increase the availability of critical spawning and rearing habitats.”

As for Klamath River fall Chinook, the NMFS guidance is “that a precautionary approach is warranted and underscores the need to carefully consider the factors described in the FMP in setting the ER (exploitation rate),” said NMFS.

working and how far we’ve come.”

Salmon numbers are periodical over time and life cycles, generally three years from birth as eggs hatch to returning adults from the ocean. For example, in 2022, commercial ocean catch was considerably greater than preseason expectations. The data also indicates that abundance is higher in years following wetter hydrologic years. For example, the 2010 above-average rainfall year resulted in higher stock forecasts of California adult Chinook in 2012 and 2013.

The Management Review Forum announced on March 15 that almost 300 participants representing state agencies, California Tribes, researchers, environmental groups, commercial and recreational fisheries, and others joined to discuss the first ten years of California’s globally recognized Marine Protected Area (MPA) Network. Presented to the California Fish and Game Commission in February, the MPA Decadal Management Review report is the first comprehensive statewide review of California’s MPA Network and Management Program.

Conversely, drier years regularly result in lower abundance three years later. Three years ago, in 2020, conditions were particularly severe with drought.

Panelists at the forum spoke with participants in discussions across the four pillars of the MPA Management Program, which include research and monitoring, enforcement and compliance, outreach and education, and policy and permitting.

“The discussions today highlight how important the MPA network and ocean resources are to California tribes and residents,” said Charlton H. Bonham, Director of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), in a press release. “It is encouraging to see our program

The current wetter weather in California is good news. Relatively higher returns in 2019 and 2020 may help boost the number of spawning adults returning to the Sacramento Basin in 2023, as fish hatched in 2019 and 2020 will be returning this year. Even though this boost will be moderated by evolving ocean conditions and ongoing climate disruption, there are bright spots and reasons for caution heading into 2023 and beyond. Rebuilding plans have been developed for the Sacramento River Fall Chinook and Klamath River Fall Chinook stocks after multi-agency collaboration between the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC), CDFW, National Marine Fisheries Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Tribes, and industry representatives. Meanwhile, other ambitious efforts to rebuild salmon are continuing, most notably implementing the largest river restoration and dam removal project in the nation’s history in the Klamath Basin.

“Our California coast is world-renowned for its beauty, biodiversity, and recreational opportunities. It’s also important to our economy,” said California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot in the press release. “Our MPAs help conserve these incredible resources, so I’m excited we’re reflecting on how these protected areas have worked during their first decade in operation and how we can adapt and improve this network moving forward.”

tion Meeting. During the meeting, ocean and in-river recreational anglers and commercial salmon trollers asked about the latest numbers. They provided comments during a public listening session that followed the informational presentations. Stakeholder input was considered when developing three ocean fishery season alternatives during the March 5-10 PFMC meeting. Final ocean salmon season regulations will be adopted at the PFMC’s April 1-7 meeting. The California Fish and Game Commission will consider and approve inland fishery seasons and regulations this spring, with final decisions in May.

“California’s MPAs were designed through a valuable public-private partnership that included our stakeholders, state and federal natural resource management agencies, tribes, and tribal communities, and the public,” said California Fish and Game Commission President Eric Sklar.

During the forum, discussions were held to inform of the following steps, which were considered at the Commission’s March 16 Marine Resources Committee meeting, where public members provided comments and reflections on the review and recommendations. Then, in April 2023, the Commission will begin considering which adaptive management recommendations from the review and the public will be prioritized for the next ten years of the adaptive management review cycle.

Fishing industry participants, conservation organizations, and other interested parties attended the Salmon Informa-

Following several years of poor returns to the Klamath River Basin, Klamath River fall Chinook salmon were declared overfished in 2018 and have not yet achieved a rebuilt status under the terms

“In the ten years since, the network ultimately adopted by the Commission has been stewarded by CDFW, its partners, and diverse communities empowered through local collaboratives to contribute to protecting our ocean. I look forward to engaging with our stakeholders tomorrow to hear more about their experiences with, and reflections on, the network.”

of the federal Salmon Fishery Management Plan. In 2022, returns of Sacramento River fall Chinook fell well short of conservation objectives and now may be approaching an overfished condition after being declared rebuilt in 2021. In response, federal and state agencies are expected to take a conservative approach when approving the 2023 salmon seasons to provide additional protective measures to these stocks. As a result, very limited or no fishing in 2023 appears possible.

In 1999, the State Legislature passed the historic Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) to protect California’s marine biodiversity, habitats, and ecosystems. The MLPA required the establishment of a statewide, science-based network of MPAs. From 2004-2012, planning took place through a science-based, policy-guided, stakeholder-driven process, resulting in 124 MPAs. Today, the MPA Network encompasses

The Marine Life Protection Act was passed in 1999 by the California Legislature, directing the CDFW to redesign California’s existing system of marine protected areas to increase its coherence and effectiveness for preserving the state’s marine life, habitats, and ecosystems.

EARLY SPRING SEASON HAS ANGLERS LOOKING FOR WARM WATER!

By Bob Vanian of 976Bite.com

 The first day of spring was March 20, 2023 and anglers have had to continue to dodge winter like weather systems that have been bringing rain, wind and high seas. Even some of the sunny days between weather systems have been days of high seas and breezy conditions out on the fishing grounds. There are more weather systems within the current 10 day weather forecast for Southern California so the pattern of unsettled weather looks to continue for a while longer.

 The unsettled weather conditions have resulted in cool water temperatures that have been in the 56.5 to 59.5 degree range and anglers are hoping for a stretch of nice weather to allow the water conditions to stabilize and warm. Some warming of the water would be expected to help in sparking better springtime surface fishing activity for species such as bluefin tuna, yellowtail, calico bass and barracuda.

 Anglers fishing in Southern California waters are looking forward to the end of the annual seasonal rockfish/groundfish closure which will come to an end at the end of March. There will be a lot of anglers wanting to go out fishing for rockfish on the opening day of April 1 to be among the first to drop baits down to rockfish that have been off limits to fishing since January 1.

 Some San Diego County areas that should provide some rockfish when the season opens on April 1 as listed from south to the north are the International

Reef, the Imperial Beach Pipeline, the hard bottom around the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma, the Point Loma Pipeline, the Green Tank at Point Loma, Point Loma College, The 270 to the west of Mission Bay, the upper end of La Jolla, Del Mar, Leucadia, Carlsbad and Box Canyon.

 The fishing along the San Diego County coast has been good for a mix of sand bass, calico bass, whitefish and sculpin along with a chance at a bonus yellowtail or halibut. Productive hard bottom and structure areas for sand bass, calico bass, sculpin and whitefish as listed from the south to the north include the Imperial Beach Pipeline, the hard bottom to the southeast of the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma, the hard bottom to the north and northwest of Buoy #3 at Point Loma, the Green Tank, Point Loma College, the Jetty Kelp outside of Mission Bay, the Variety Kelp below the lower end of La Jolla, the upper end of La Jolla, Leucadia, Carlsbad, the Anderson Pipeline, the Buccaneer Pipeline, the artificial reefs off Oceanside and Box Canyon.

STATE/NATIONAL/ INTERNATIONAL CDFW Launches

Immediate Efforts to Save Clear Lake Hitch

A coalition of Tribal, local, state, and federal entities are taking immediate action to support the long-term survival of the Clear Lake hitch. Actions include $2 million in state funding to remove barriers to hitch migration. Historically numbering in the millions, Clear Lake hitch now are facing a tough fight to avoid extinction.

On March 23, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife announced a list of commitments designed to protect spawning and rearing areas, provide appropriate stream flows, remove barriers to migration and reduce predation. CDFW expects these actions to positively impact the Clear Lake hitch population this spawning season and over the next few years.

Immediate actions are needed to ensure flows are sufficient for successful spawning conditions; Tribal, local, federal, and state leaders, as well as private landowners, are actively collaborating on interim efforts to ensure successful conditions through the end of the spawning period in June.

Recent reports indicate hitch are migrating up tributaries from Clear Lake into Cole, Kelsey, Manning, and Adobe creeks. A recently installed fish ladder, designed by CDFW habitat specialists specifically for the hitch, has allowed

them to migrate up and over a barrier in Manning Creek that has prevented fish passage for several decades.

CDFW has made agreements with Tribal governments to rescue fish that become stranded during spawning while also engaging with the local agricultural community to identify areas of fish stranding throughout the watershed.

On March 16, CDFW fishery biologists, local agricultural community members, and Tribal members rescued 450 adult Clear Lake hitch from a drainage canal along Cole Creek. CDFW has also taken steps to hold fish at hatchery facilities should rescued fish need a safe haven for a short time.

In coordination with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), CDFW is evaluating permitting options for local agricultural stakeholders to provide pumped groundwater into areas of creeks that may become dry during spawning season, providing immediate relief during low water conditions. The broad coalition of partners is also gauging streams at multiple locations and reporting data to identify areas of poor spawning habitat conditions and to develop models for future use in predicting stream flow conditions.

The CDFW has also committed $2 million to enforce barrier removal projects over the next three years. Working with Tribes and the Lake County Land Stewards, CDFW will accept funding proposals submitted in the next 90 days to remove barriers to hitch migration.
