BIZARRE

Sunlight Linked to Breakdown of Crude Oil GULF OF ME XICO — In a paper pub-

The explosion was linked to a surge of natural gas, which blasted through a concrete core killing 11 workers and injuring 17 before capsizing and sinking on April 22, 2010.

During the weeks, months, and years following the oil spill, scientists found the sunlight hitting the spill initiated chemical reactions in the slicks, transforming them into new compounds.

In a 2018 study in Environmental Science and Technology, it was found that sunlight triggered a chemical reaction adding oxygen to the oil molecules cre-

ating oxygenated hydrocarbons allowing the oil to stick around years after the spill.

The study also identified a smaller category of oxygenated hydrocarbons, which broke down more readily in water.

In the most recent study released on Feb. 16, Freeman and Ward studied crude oil under LED lights, which simulates wavelengths found in natural sunlight, to determine the factors of photo dissolution.

Photo-dissolution is the process of sunlight transforming insoluble components like crude oil into water-soluble

products.

During the study, scientists found important factors for photo-dissolution were the thickness of the oil slick and the wavelengths of light.

For example, longer wavelengths toward the red end of the spectrum dissolved less oil than shorter wavelengths toward the violet end of the spectrum.

Rough estimates show sunlight dissolved 3 to 17 percent of the surface oil from the spill; the impact of sunlight-produced compounds on the marine ecosystem is still unknown.

lished on the American Association for the Advancement of Science website, t wo researchers f rom Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, Collin Ward and Danielle Haas Freeman, said sunlight could play a major role in cleaning up oil spills in the ocean.

The study, published on Feb. 16, suggests that sunlight may have helped remove as much as 17 percent of the oil slick from a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico left more than three million barrels of crude oil out in the ocean, making it the largest marine oil spill in history.

The spill was caused by an explosion on the Deepwater Red light has longer wavelengths with a lower frequency, while the further you get towards the violet end of the scale, the more wavelengths Horizon oil rig located become shorter with a higher frequency. The study suggests that the shorter wavelengths are harder to break apart and therefore have more effect almost 41 miles off the on the oil. coast of Louisiana.

They got caught sleeping at the helm of the last tsunami that hit too. You’d think they would have paid a little more attention to this well-advertised warning.

My bet is that they’ve been asking for new boats for years and are taking advantage of this “disaster.”

Confederate Submarine H.L. Hunley, suspended from a crane during her recovery from Charleston Harbor, Aug. 8, 2000.

The H.L. Hunley By: JORDAN B. DARLING

by J.R. Johnson CHARLESTON, S.C.— On Feb.

17, 1864, the Confederate submarine, the H.L. Hunley sunk the USS Housatonic, a 16-gun, 1,240-ton sloop-of-war, while it was blockading the entrance to Charleston Harbor; the Hunley became the first submarine to sink an enemy warship during wartime, according to the Naval History and Heritage Command website.

In 1863, Horace Lawson Hunley financially backed the construction of the Hunley for the Confederacy.

The submarine was built by Park and Lyons in Mobile, Alabama, and was constructed from rolled iron boilerplates with custom cast iron fittings.

The submarine was powered by a hand crank which took seven men to handle and an eighth man to steer the vessel.

The ends of the submarine were equipped with water ballast tanks that could be flooded by valves or pumped dry by hand pumps; many features of the submarine would become standard in later versions.

The Hunley was launched in July 1863 for a demonstration in the Mobile River, sinking a coal-hauling barge anchored in the river.

The submarine dove under the vessel and released a torpedo that hit its mark, impressing several high-ranking officials, including Admiral Franklin Buchanan, Mobile’s Naval Commandant, according to the Hunley website.

The Hunley was then sent to Charleston, South Carolina on Aug. 12, 1863, to assist with the blockade of the harbor; on Aug. 29, 1863, the vessel sunk at the dock while preparing to launch its first attack.

Five crew members were

killed in the first sinking, and it took weeks to recover the submarine. In this time, Hunley arrived and demanded control of the vessel.

On Oct. 15, Hunley scheduled a demonstration where the ship would dive beneath the CSS Indian Chief and resurface.

The vessel disappeared for several weeks before being discovered in the harbor channel with its nose buried in the mud; all on board were lost.

After weeks of debate, the submarine was passed to Captain George Dixon and a volunteer crew who would spend the next two months preparing the vessel for another mission.

On Feb. 17, the sea calmed just enough for the crew to embark on their last mission; at approximately 8:45 p.m., the submarine approached and sunk the Housatonic, according to the Hunley website.

LOCAL Hearing on Poseidon Desalination Plant Delayed Until May HUNTINGTON BEACH— A key meeting

on the proposed Desalination Plant in Huntington Beach was postponed from its original date on March 17 until May at the request of Poseidon. Poseidon is currently looking for the final permit needed from the Coastal Commission before finalizing a contract with the Orange County Water District to build a highly contested desalination plant in Huntington Beach. Environmentalist groups have stood against the plant, arguing that the plant would unnecessarily kill marine life, and the proposed mitigation for environmental damage is inadequate.

SeaWorld Releases Sea Lion That Wandered onto Freeway SAN DIEGO— A sea lion that found

its way onto a California highway in January was released on Feb. 9. The sea lion was found wandering State Route 94 in San Diego on Jan. 7, more than eight miles away from the ocean, when the SeaWorld San Diego Rescue Team captured it. The sea lion underwent a month-long rehabilitation process before release. “Everyone was in agreement that since he was in great shape and since he was exhibiting normal sea lion behavior, the decision was made to return him,” Eric Otjen, head of SeaWorld San Diego’s Rescue Team, told The Hill. “It’s pretty much the best part of the job.” Before being released, the sea lion was given a tag on its flipper for future identification.

CDFW Announces Statewide Fleet Advisory for Commercial Dungeness Crab Fishery

LOS ANGELES— The Port of Los Angeles

CALIFORNIA— On Feb. 18, the California

Harbor Cup-Cal Maritime Invitational Intercollegiate Regatta will be held on March 11-13, just outside Angel’s Gate.

The three-day, 10-race regatta is an intercollegiate sailing invitational with competitors from all over the country. This year’s defending champion, California State University Maritime Academy, will face off against 2019 winner, College of Charleston, and 2018 winner, U.S. Naval Academy, as well as longstanding opponents from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, University of California Santa Barbara, California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo and the University of Hawaii. In addition, two teams will be making their first appearances at the POLA Harbor Cup: The University of Maryland and the University of Rhode Island. The regatta will be raced with Catalina 37s. The races will start at 11:30 a.m. each day and can be viewed from Point Fermin Park on Paseo Del Mar in San Pedro. For more information, see https://www.layc.org/.

Department of Fish and Wildlife issued a statewide fleet advisory for the commercial dungeness crab fishery due to a recent humpback whale entanglement, approximately five miles west of Cypress Point near Monterey Bay, Fishing Zone 4. In late January, the entanglement was reported and involved heavy lines from unknown fishing gear. The CDFW is encouraging the commercial fleet and all mariners to be on the lookout for any entangled whales in this area and across California waters. For a map of all fishing zones and more information related to the risk assessment process, please visit CDFW›s Whale Safe Fisheries page. For details on the dungeness crab fishery, please visit CDFW’s Crab page, including FAQs(opens in new tab) for the 2021-22 season of the commercial fishery and FAQs for the new recreational crab trap regulations. If anyone sights an entangled whale, do not approach or attempt to disentangle, but please immediately report it to the U.S. Coast Guard or call the Entanglement Reporting Hotline at (877) SOS-WHAL or (877) 767-9425.

California’s Boating and Fishing News

What are the disclosure obligations for selling a boat?

QUESTION:

Last year I completed a major structural repair to my boat after another boat crashed into us during a race.

I am now preparing to sell the boat and I am wondering whether I need to disclose the collision and the repairs to the person who buys the boat. I sold a house recently and spent a lot of time with the Transfer Disclosure Statement and other disclosure forms required in a real estate transaction, but does the seller of a boat have a similar obligation?

ANSWER: The purchase or sale of a yacht is frequently compared to a real estate transaction.

It’s a tempting comparison, since the owner may live aboard a yacht, the purchase price may approach (or exceed) the value of a home, the buyer and seller are usually represented by brokers and the terms of the transaction are typically set out in a complicated contract. There are, however, significant differences between the sale of a yacht and the sale of a home, starting with the disclosure requirements.

California Civil Code section 1102 requires the seller of a home to disclose a wide assortment of features and equipment and to disclose significant defects or malfunctions, hazards, easements, damage, and a long list of other problems that may affect the value of the home or the decision of the buyer to go forward with the purchase. Civil Code section 1102 does not Please see ATTORNEY, PAGE 7

apply to a yacht purchase, and there is no similar provision anywhere else in the California Codes that would impose that obligation on the seller of a yacht.

So, technically, it seems that the seller of a boat in California has no specific duty to disclose anything to the buyer. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple.

The lack of any specific disclosure statute relating to the sale of a boat does not let the seller off the hook completely.

First, California law imposes an implied promise of good faith and fair dealing upon every contract or agreement. This implied promise means that each party will not do anything to unfairly interfere with the right of any other party to receive the benefits of the contract. Good faith means honesty of purpose without any intention to mislead or to take unfair advantage of another. Generally speaking, it means being faithful to one’s duty or obligation.

Second, the definition of “fraud” or “deceit” under California law is extremely broad and includes “the suggestion, as a fact, of that which is not true, by one who does not believe it to be true” (Civil Code section 1710). This reference to a “suggestion” opens the door to a lot of very subjective allegations regarding the seller’s behavior during the transaction. In other words, it invites litigation.

Litigation regarding a seller’s disclosures will seek to unwind the transaction, to hold the seller liable for repair costs, or to hold the seller liable for the reduction in market value that would result from

Washington State Announces Full Closure to Coastal Steelhead Fishing OLYMPIA, WASH. — On March 1, the state of Washington imposed a statewide closure to coastal steelhead fishing in an effort to meet management objectives and provide necessary protection for wild steelhead populations.

The closure will apply throughout the Washington coast and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The closure follows preliminary data, which suggests the forecasted returns are likely to come back as low as 30 percent of what fishery managers

the publication of the defect. The lawsuit would first examine whether the seller took steps to intentionally conceal the damage. Absent evidence of intentional concealment, the lawsuit will focus on the representations and other behavior by the seller, and whether such behavior was designed to steer the buyer’s attention away from a defect. This type of behavior may be found to be a form of deceit, especially where no attempt was made to disclose the defect to the buyer.

The scope of the disclosures required in a vessel sale will vary depending on the condition and history of the boat, and on the experience and sophistication of the parties. It really is one of those questions that is impossible for an attorney to answer without knowing all the facts. A lot of it comes down to one of my favorite proverbs: It’s always better to avoid a lawsuit than to win one. Here, even without a legal duty to disclose a serious problem with the boat, disclosure may be the choice that keeps the seller out of trouble.

“Throughout our conversations with anglers and the broader coastal community, we’ve been upfront about our commitment to designing fisheries that meet our conservation objectives,” said Kelly Cunningham, WDFW fish program director, in a Feb. 23 press release. “With this preliminary data in hand that now suggests coastal steelhead returns are significantly lower than we expected, we need to take bold, swift actions for the future of these runs.” For more information about coastal steelhead management, visit https://wdfw.wa.gov/ coastal-steelhead.

Huntington Beach Police Officer Succumbs to Injuries from Helicopter Crash A Huntington Beach police helicopter crashlanded in the water in Newport Beach on the evening of Feb. 20, and a rescue operation was launched, said, officials.

One pilot died, and another was injured.

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

approximately 6:30 p.m. Huntington Beach Police Department helicopter, HB-1, crashed into the water off Newport Beach with two officers aboard the aircraft. Officer Nicholas Vella, 44, was rushed to the trauma center, where he was pronounced dead after succumbing to injuries. The other officer whose name has not been released was injured in the crash and is in stable condition.

The helicopter was en route to assist in what is known as a “disturbance fight call” from Newport Beach, which contracts for aerial services as needed from HBPD. HB-1 responded to a priority call for a fight in progress near 18th Street and Balboa Boulevard at approximately 6:25 p.m.; the crash occurred near the shore in an area between the Lido and Balboa peninsulas shortly after responding to the call.

Multiple civilians and public safety personnel jumped into the water to rescue the officers. Both officers were pulled from the helicopter and transported to nearby hospitals.

The second officer involved in the crash was released from the hospital on Feb. 20 and has been identified as the pilot. An investigation on the exact cause of the crash is currently underway by the National Transportation Safety Board, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Orange County Sheriff’s Department,

On Feb. 22, nine police officers led the procession out of the Orange County coroner’s office on Santa Ana Boulevard. Bagpipes played as the white hearse carrying Vella was guided onto the street.

Major Accident Reconstruction Team.

However, on Feb. 22, police department spokeswoman Jennifer Carey said that it could be up to a year before the cause could be known for sure.

There is no immediate information on what may have caused the crash, which happened during calm wind conditions and dry weather.

Huntington Beach’s two remaining helicopters will continue to be grounded under Huntington Beach Chief of Police Eric Parra’s instructions, pending an

aircraft inspection for the preliminary investigation.

“We need to have the current aircraft inspected to make sure there’s nothing wrong…we’re going to pull those in — they won’t fly until we do the inspection,” said Parra in a statement.

The HBPD Air Support Unit serves Huntington Beach and contracts with Newport Beach and Costa Mesa.

Officer Vella is a 14-year Huntington Beach Police Department veteran and leaves behind his wife and daughter.

“There are no words that can express this loss adequately,” said Parra in a statement. “We are deeply grieving for Officer Vella’s family, and as a police department, we grieve as well.”

“Anytime a policing agency loses one of its own, it’s like a loss of a family member,” said Don Barnes, Orange County Sheriff. “I’ve had several losses throughout my career, and oftentimes organizations never fully recover from a loss.”

Orange County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Ryan Anderson said that agency assisted by deploying resources to help with the rescue. The Newport Beach Fire Department and the Orange County Fire Authority were among the agencies on the scene as well.

Larry Sato spoke with NBC Los Angeles about witnessing the event while his party was waiting to be seated for dinner when the crash occurred.

“We were waiting for a table at The Crab Cooker (restaurant), and we saw the helicopter circle around a couple times, and they kept getting lower and then suddenly we saw the lights just twirling. It went behind the building, and we never saw the impact,” Sato said according to NBC Los Angeles. “It was frightening.”

“It is with tremendous sorrow that we announce the passing of Officer Nicholas Vella, a 14-year veteran of HBPD…” said an Instagram post put out by @hbpolicedept, the HBPD. On Feb. 22 at 1 p.m., the Huntington Beach Police Department held a procession for Officer Vella. The procession began at the Orange County Coroner’s office and ended at Community Funeral Service in La Habra.

The Huntington Beach Police Department, in conjunction with the department’s union, has publicly released an account for monetary donations to help support Vella’s family. Please visit the Peace Officers Research Association of California (PORAC) website to contribute.

Getting Marine Insurance: Don’t Make It An Afterthought!

By: JACKSON WILLETT, NEWPORT

COAST MARITIME ACADEMY

N E W P O R T — A f ter countless hours

browsing web sites, attending boat shows, walking the docks, meeting with brokers, scheduling surveys, negotiating contingencies and securing funding, you’re ready to close on your vessel ... getting insurance coverage should be a piece of cake right?

Sadly, this may not be true.

Historically, acquiring marine insurance has often been relegated to the backend of the vessel purchasing process and approval was generally considered a foregone conclusion.

If the insurance carrier required training, you’d hire a licensed captain and it would be left to the captain’s discretion to develop the training curriculum and determine the skillsets required.

Once satisfied an owner could safely operate their vessel, the captain would submit a letter to the insurance carrier attesting to the training and their approval of the owner to operate their vessel.

As one might surmise, there are a few inherent weaknesses in this training approach.

First, the subjective discretion afforded to the captain to develop the training program and assess competency. Second, the assumption that all captains make good instructors. Predictably, this amount of subjective risk doesn’t sit well for an industry based on the principle of quantifying risk.

As a result, insurance companies are increasingly recognizing the value of nationally approved training programs like those developed under the stewardship of the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators.

These NASBLA accredited programs are offered to the public by dozens of schools, training centers and boater programs in all 50 states. A list of training providers in your area can be found at https://www.nasbla.org/home.

So, is all this talk about training much ado about nothing?

Based on the United States Coast Guard’s 2020 Recreational Boating Statistics • Where instruction was known, 77 percent of deaths occurred on boats where the operator did not receive boating safety instruction. Only 12 percent of deaths occurred on vessels where the operator was known to have received a nationally approved boating safety education certificate.

Fast Facts From page 4

The submarine approached the ship and detonated a torpedo just below the surface creating, a hole. It took less than five minutes for the Housatonic to sink; Dixon signaled back to shore with two blue lights to indicate the mission was successful, and the men on shore lit a fire to guide the ship back to shore, but the

• Operator inattention, operator inexperience, improper lookout, excessive speed, machinery failure and navigation rules violations rank as the top six primary contributing factors in accidents.

• Most prevalent Operator profile involving an accident resulting in injury or death: 36-55 yrs old, 100-500 hrs of experience, no formal boater education.

The data appears clear ... education, knowledge and experience are key factors to best ensure boater and passenger safety.

As someone who works almost exclusively with insurance companies, training owners to qualify for operator insurance coverage, here are a few tips I’d recommend when applying for insurance: • Ensure your boating experience resume is as detailed and complete as possible • If training is required in order to operate your vessel, ask: • If there a specific duration of training required?

• Is there a checklist of training skills required?

• Does my instructor need to have training experience?

• Will training with an accredited training resource facilitate approval to operate my vessel?

Boat ownership opens a world of fun, adventure and social camaraderie that has been sorely lacking as of late. While your experience to acquire insurance may differ, in no way let this article deter you from boat ownership ... just don’t make it an afterthought in the purchasing process!About The Author: Jackson Willett is a USCG 200-ton Master and licensed US Powerboating instructor.

US Powerboating (https://www.uspowerboating.com), an affiliate of US Sailing, offers the nation’s best and most comprehensive hands-on powerboat courses.

The USPB program is one of a select group of boating safety courses approved by the State of California and the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators.

A Breakdown of the 2021 Ocean Salmon Fisheries Document The Pacific Fishery Management Council released an annual review of ocean salmon fisheries summarizing important biological and socioeconomic data from which to assess the status of managed stocks, impacts of past management actions, and to determine how well management objectives are being met, and improve regulations for the future.

Fishery Management Council released its Rev iew of 2021 Ocean Salmon Fisheries, a 368-page stock assessment and fishery evaluation document for the Pacific Coast Salmon Fishery Management Plan.

“The easy way to describe it- it’s like a report card,” said Robin Ehlke, a NOAA Affiliate. “And so, what it’s really doing is looking at the data from 2021. How did the salmon stock preform, and how well did our management measures perform? And so, this helps give us an idea of how well we did and how well the fish did. It helps us understand, at least from a management standpoint, how well did out forecasts work. How well did our management measure in the sense of the duration of the fisheries and how they performed? Did they perform as we thought? If we set a fishery for ten days in a specific area and we felt it would catch a thousand fish, but they caught a little more of a little less, that helps us understand how well our models are working.”

The Salmon Technical Team (STT) and staff of the PFMC have prepared the stock assessment and fishery evaluation (SAFE) document as a postseason review of the 2021 ocean salmon fisheries off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California to help assess Council salmon fishery management performance, the status of Council-area salmon stocks, and the socioeconomic impacts of salmon fisheries.

“It [the document] also tells us the biology of the stocks and the performance of the management measures,” said Ehlke.

“And it’s almost like a library of data as well because, this is obviously 400 pages long, but it has data that goes back essentially since the Councils were developed back in the 70s. One of the ways I look at it is, you have a certain number of salmon returning you could look- let’s say

summarize two inside fisheries catch and spawner escapement data. In addition, appendix B provides detailed historical spawning escapement and inside fisheries catch information. Detailed information for other salmon species is not included since Council fisheries have minor impacts on pink salmon escapements and no measurable impacts on sockeye, chum salmon, or steelhead trout; however, catch and escapement data and objectives for Puget Sound pink salmon are summarized in Appendix B, Table B-43.

Socioeconomic impacts of the fisheries are discussed in chapter four. Appendix D provides historical fishery-related socioeconomic data.

In addition, the STT and Council staff will provide three additional reports before the beginning of the ocean salmon season to help guide the Council’s selection of annual fishery management measures: Preseason Report I, Preseason Report II, and Preseason Report III. These reports will provide forecasts of stock abundance, determine yearly catch limits, and analyze the biological and economic impacts of the Council’s proposed alternatives and adopted fishery management recommendations.

“The salmon technical team, who is the author essentially of this document, will also put forward three other additional reports annually, all between now and about the middle of April, once the season setting process is complete,” said Ehlke. “So, we will have one [document] out the first week of March, another one out towards the end of March, and the final one out probably the middle of April. We call those our pre-season reports. So, pre-season one, two, and three and those combined address all the federal requirements in the sense of like a NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) document, we look at the economics, we look at the environment; all of that. So essentially, pre-season one will provide all the forecasts for the upcoming year of the salmon stocks. So that will give everyone an idea of what kind of season you can be thinking of as we get ready to start the season setting process, which begins with the March Council meeting that is coming up.”

After the March Council meeting, the goal is to come out of that meeting with three alternatives for public review of potential season structures given the forecast predicted by the STT, the ESA constraints, and the spawning escapement goals; everything that checks the boxes.

“And so, we walk out of March with three options for consideration, the public takes a look at them, everybody will have public hearings,” said Ehlke. “The council posts the public hearings, some of the states have their own public hearings, but we discuss those, take a look at them, put them out for public review, and then we have an April council meeting, and that’s where the Council will adopt the seasons for the year.”

What comes from the April meeting is the fishery seasons for that year.

They’re typically a blend of the three alternatives that have been collected.

“I don’t think there has ever real-

ly been a time when we said, ‘okay, we are going with option one.’ We’d go with whatever the public wants, as long as it checks all the boxes that’s what the fishermen want, and then that’s what the Council will adopt,” said Ehlke.

The last of the three pre-season reports is essentially a report on the seasons the council has adopted and why that decision was accepted. Next, as a matter of process, the Council adopts a recommendation for the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and then NMFS, if they accept the recommendations, will then put that in regulation.

The fishers can then begin on May 16.

PFMC and NOAA worked together throughout the construction of this document. However, there are eight Coun-

cils across the United States, and they each represent a specific region. This document addresses the Pacific region, which is developed to help the public have a better say in how fisheries are structured. This system was developed in the 70s, and the Councils were formed through Congress. These Councils were put in place so the fishermen can have a say in how their fisheries are developed from a local viewpoint, instead of the decisions being made in Washington DC, across the United States.

The fisherman, stakeholders, or anyone interested has access to a council that will help them bring together the recommendations for fisheries and then present those to NMFS to be put in place. Therefore, when a Council adopts

anything, they adopt a recommendation presented to NMFS. The annual review of ocean salmon fisheries is drafted as early as analyses of landings and escapement data are available. Therefore, the most recent entries are preliminary and later updated when the data becomes final. If updated information or error corrections that could substantially affect the development of management measures for the upcoming season are available, an errata sheet will be included in one of the subsequent STT preseason planning documents.

The complete document can be found on the Pacific Fishery Management Council’s website.

King Harbor is Revamping Its Public Amenities with Resident Input

Shutterstock image

The city of Redondo Beach reached out to the community for input on the decades-old waterfront debate for the first time in four years. As a result, the goal of the King Harbor Amenities Plan is to put recreational areas, such as Seaside Lagoon and the Sportfishing Pier, at the forefront of the revitalization of the harbor.

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS REDONDO BE ACH — On Feb. 14, the

King Harbor's harbor commission held a virtual meeting to discuss the King Harbor Public Amenities Plan, process, and timeline. This is the first inquiry for public input on waterfront issues since 2017, when voters passed a measure blocking a developer, limited waterfront uses, and spawned a series of lawsuits.

At the Feb. 7 working group meeting, SWA, an LA-based landscape architecture group, presented sketch drawings of the various public amenities and incorporated options for items such as pedestrian paths, bicycle lanes added to main pedestrian routes, directional signage, entrance identifiers, ADA accessible paths, and waterfront access by type of user. The public is now being asked to provide input at the upcoming March 7 meeting. In addition, you can submit input on the plan to khamenitiesplan. com.

The following Public Amenities Plan outreach efforts have been completed: · Sunday, Feb. 20: Pop-up at Riviera Village Farmers Market · Saturday, Feb. 26: Pop-up at Perry Park.

The March 7 meeting is the second community meeting that will be an opportunity for the consultant team and the city to provide an overview of the key takeaways and priorities received from the first outreach meeting, the pop-up events, and the public’s submitted input.

During the March 7 meeting, SWA will summarize what they heard from the survey, pop-ups, and online meeting and begin organizing at a high level how the received input can be applied to the Public Amenities Plan. This meeting’s presentation materials will be anticipated to include diagrams, imagery, and sketches.

There will also be an opportunity for the community to provide feedback on developing the preliminary plan recommendations. It is anticipated that SWA will share a draft of the Public Amenities Plan at the third community meeting in April 2022. In addition, SWA will continue to gather community input through popups, community meetings, and surveys.

The amenities plan working group consists of residents, city staff, and the design team the city hired, including marine engineering consultants. The project began by gathering input through surveys and workshops. Over the last few months, the design group turned that input into sample designs with options. The team is now getting comments on those designs.

Harbor Commission President Roger Carlson noted that the board would like to see a new educational feature added, like the now-closed Sea Lab across from the AES power plant.

As for Moonstone Park in Redondo Beach, Carlson remarked that the city currently has the money to put in restrooms and add landscaping. The funding comes from Chevron’s $2.4 million award after unloading large coker drums at the park more than ten years ago for an El Segundo refinery project.

Funding for the project has been assessed as well.

“Funding is not a specific part of this planning process; however, the consultant team includes a firm to accomplish cost estimation,” said Mark Hansen, a King Harbor Representative. in an email from Feb 21. “Some components do already have identifiable funding sources: Mole B - $2.4 M remaining from a contribution from Chevron from a past project.

Seaside Lagoon - $10M secured from the State. Boat Ramp - Matching grants from the CA Div. of Boating and Waterways are specifically available for ramps.

Funding sources could also likely be identified for the Sportsfishing Pier, Dry Boat Storage, etc.”

According to the press release sent out, the King Harbor Amenities Plan will focus on: • A public boat launch ramp • Mast up dry boat storage • Seaside lagoon replacement • Potential new sportfishing pier • Dinghy dock for moorings field • Hand launching/ zero-depth entry • Intl. boardwalk and basin 3/ Dock and Dine • Mole B: Outriggers and centerboard sailboats

“The lack of a boat ramp and dry boat storage have been two conspicuous omissions over the last 60 years,” said Hansen. “In 2010, when the Coastal Commission realized that we had never provided a boat ramp, they directed: “A public boat launch ramp shall be constructed in association with future development projects within the Harbor area.” The Coastal Commission could potentially similarly direct the addition of dry boat storage.

A Mole B Master Plan, approved by the City Council in 2012, included an area for the storage of small centerboard sailboats to be hand-launched with dollies down a gangway. Keelboat storage could logically be located adjacent to the new boat ramp.”

The plan will also focus on the International Boardwalk. The International Boardwalk includes a line of casual restaurants and bars along the eastern edge of Basin 3, King Harbor’s smallest basin to the south. The hoist is located there as well.

“There seems to be a consensus that this would be a good area for Dock & Dine,” said Hansen. “Yes, this would be an area where boaters could arrive either on their primary boats or in their dinghies to come ashore to eat. This would attract both local boaters and visitors from other harbors, using our moorings.”

Mole B is one of the four land fingers, A, B, C, D, that separate the three basins, 1, 2, 3.

It is currently home to the Harbor Patrol and the Outrigger Canoe Clubs.

For decades, boaters have recommended that a permanent home be established for the Outriggers, and this is another project that will be addressed under the Amenities plan.

The Seaside Lagoon replacement could possibly include a lap pool; howev-

er, such a pool would not be coastal-related and could alternatively be located at other locations further inland. A Wave Pool and or a Scuba Training pool have been suggested as well.

According to Carlson, the city has a nine-month contract with SWA, and the first half has been completed. SWA has gathered community desires and put together design options to accommodate those desires. SWA will present a final report to the city by June, with these designs and community input. That presentation is expected to inform the city council what area residents want.

Minor projects can begin development by the city within existing harbor budgets. For example, Moonstone Park has over $2m in existing funding for improvements. The seaside lagoon is likely to be the most significant project, with more design work to come and more funding to be raised. The boat ramp is not currently funded.

“As an area-wide facility, I’d expect many possible sources for funding, from city to county to state to even federal,” said Carlson.

A basic timeline of the outreach and approval process is shown online at www. khamenitiesplan.com.

The Harbor Commission will get an update at their next meeting on Monday, March 14, at 7:00 pm. https://redondo.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx According to Hansen, the City Council is tentatively scheduled to receive a plan for consideration by June 2022.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

Currently, white sharks (commonly known as great white sharks) are protected under federal and state regulations and must be immediately released if caught; proposed amendments will hinder anglers from any illegal attempts at capturing the animal.

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS CA LIFOR NI A—

O n Feb. 14 , Assemblymembers Steve Bennett and Richard Bloom introduced Am-2109 to amend section 5517 of the Fish and Game Code relating to sharks. The proposed amendments of AB 2109 would prohibit catching white sharks with the use of attractants such as chum, bait, and lures when a white shark is known to be present or visible.

“Under current California law, it is illegal to fish for or catch white sharks, as they have been protected in the state since Jan. 1, 1994,” said Arwen Chenery, Chief of Staff for Asssemblymember Steve Bennett, in an email from Feb. 22.

“White sharks in California are also protected by federal regulations and must be immediately released if caught accidentally. Under these protections, it is illegal to catch, pursue, hunt, capture or kill a white shark, which includes intentionally attracting white sharks with bait or other methods.”

Under current laws, you cannot catch a white shark for recreational or commercial fishing purposes unless granted a permit issued by the Department of Fish and Wildlife for scientific or educational purposes, or if the shark is taken incidentally by commercial fishing operations using specific styles of nets. “ The word “ t a ke” is defi ned a s “hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill,

or attempting to hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill, ” said Chenery. “Attracting white sharks with bait or decoys has been defined as an attempt to pursue the animal. However, when excursion companies use attractants (bait) or decoys to lure sharks, they are technically not “taking” the shark. Therefore, they are not violating the law, but are putting the shark, and/or the person in the water, in danger. ” The bill, which was introduced last week, clarifies that the use of bait and/ or decoys to attract white sharks is prohibited for the safety of marine wildlife and people. Chenery said she anticipates that it will be referred to the policy committee and heard in the late spring (late March, early April).

According to John Ugoretz, CDFW’s Pelagic Fisheries and Ecosystem Program Manager, in specific commercial gillnet and purse seine fisheries, it is legal to catch white sharks incidentally; they cannot be targeted. If the angler catches a shark and it’s dead, they are allowed to keep it. Although white sharks can be caught live for scientific purposes, anglers who have caught sharks incidentally have been known to sell the sharks for scientific purposes.

“When they’re [sharks] accidentally caught, that would be the most common way [gillnets], but it’s very uncommon, said Ugoretz. “We’re talking maybe five or so every few years. So, it’s not like it’s something that is happening all the time.

Most researchers these days are actually tagging white sharks, so there doing it on their own without the assistance of a fisherman. Really, the last time anybody targeted a live white shark was Monterey Bay Aquarium many years ago. They were permitted to and did catch a couple and kept them in the aquarium for a short amount of time.”

Because any violation of these prohibitions would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program, a code phrase that imposes new or increased requirements on local agencies.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and

New Proposed Amendments to Current Laws Around White Sharks

If a white shark is accidentally hooked while fishing, it must be immediately released.

Do not remove the shark from the water; do not pull it onto the beach if fishing from shore. The CDFW says to cut the line as close to the hook as possible, keeping your safety and the safety of the shark in mind school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. For local government to be paid by the state for complying with a mandate, it must be found to be a reimbursable mandate. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that this act requires no reimbursement for a specified reason.

Amendments to Section 5517 are as follows:

“SECTION 1.

Section 5517 of the Fish and Game Code is amended to read: 5517.

It (a) Except as authorized by a permit issued pursuant to Section 1002, it is unlawful to take do any of the following: ( 1 ) Ta k e a n y w h i t e s h a r k (Carcharodon carcharias), except under permits issued pursuant to Section 1002 for scientific or educ ationa l purposes. carcharias).

(2) Use any bait, lure, or chum to attract any white shark.

(3) Place any bait, lure, or chum into the water when a white shark is either

visible or known to be present. (b) For purposes of this section, «bait, lure, or chum» means any natural or manufactured product or device used to attract sharks by the sense of taste, smell, or sight, including, but not limited to, blood, fish, or other material upon which sharks may feed, and surface or underwater decoys.

SEC. 2.

No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution.»

For more information, the bill can be tracked on the California Legislative Information website. However, the bill cannot be acted on until March 17.

Planning for the last phase is not yet complete.”

According to Hnat, the new dock is designed to last 50 years, and when completed will be about two feet higher than the existing landing with the ability to be raised an additional three feet in the event of sea-level rise. The newly designed dock replacement will also enhance the visitor experience, improve passenger and cargo operations, preserve cultural landscape characteristics, increase sustainability, and ensure the protection of marine and terrestrial environments.

To ensure public safety, signage is in place to alert the public that Anacapa Island will be temporarily closed during construction which is slated for completion in three months. The closure includes the Landing Cover and camp-

Oh, Say Can You See (Me at Night?)

There’s a difference between complying with Coast Guard regulations, and being found in the dark.

Here’s a rundown of the options in visual distress signals that could match your boating needs

simply a question of the best flares money could buy, it’d be simple. But what if you don’t need that level of performance? Or what if the brief duration (most flares last less than 120 seconds) gives you pause?

There are pros and cons in each category:

Pyrotechnic Devices

For most boaters, buying flares is an expensive exercise we endure every three years or so, without much thought. We know we need to carry visual distress signals (VDS) and we might even remember that there are both daytime and nighttime signals, but after that, it’s hard to parse the differences. And while the need is unavoidable, your choices have expanded recently, so it’s worth taking a moment to consider the type of boating you do, and if there are better options than adding to your growing collection of expired flares – or alternatively, if the minimum requirement of three flares, and the few minutes of signal time they represent, will serve you well in an emergency. Maybe you’d prefer additional signaling power. With new alternatives to flares coming to market, the BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water decided to conduct tests by looking at what’s currently on the market, and compare the new signaling devices to the old standbys.

BoatUS

By CHRIS EDMONSTON

There are several types of Visual Distress Signals on the market aside from the traditional flares

The devices fell into three categories: flares, LEDs, and lasers.

As expected, flares as a category dominated the tests, ranking consistently higher than other categories by our viewers (see Results, fig. 1). But the green Greatlands Laser also performed nearly as well. The LED devices didn’t fare well, lacking the intensity to stand out on a full-moon night against the backscatter of a distant shore.

The effectiveness of a distress signal

comes down to whether or not an observer – who may be tired, careless, or untrained – can see and understand that the light is a signal. A distress signal must be big enough and bright enough for someone who may be miles away to positively identify and locate the source. So, it’s no surprise that the brightest and most intense flares, the SOLAS-approved or their equivalents, did so well. They’re around 30 times brighter than a standard Coast Guard-approved flare. If this was

Flares have been around for more than 100 years, largely because they just plain work as a distress signal. Observers commented that they subconsciously recognized fire as a danger, especially when it appears where we know it isn’t supposed to be. We know there’s a problem when we see fire on the water.

PROS Easy to recognize as a distress signal Easy to use Very bright, SOLAS flares and their equivalents ranked in the top three spots at each distance tested.

CONS All the flares emitted sparks, which can damage your boat, or burn you. Our testers used welding gloves to hold the flares, and even with that, the heat from the flares made them almost too hot to hold.

Flares expire 42 months after manufacture, for good reason; flares become unstable over time and aren’t as reliable.

The legal requirement calls for three flares, totaling no more than a few minutes of signaling (60 seconds minimum per flare, though some burn for two minutes or so) The chemicals in flares are hazardous to your health, and contaminate water.

LED Devices Light Emitting Diode devices are rel-

Distress Signals Test For our recent test, we took a look at both USCG-approved and SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) internationally approved pyrotechnic flares, and a variety of electronic devices ranging from lasers to an assortment of LED devices.

Only one of the lights tested meets carriage requirements, meaning it’s an adequate substitute for flares during a safety inspection when combined with an orange distress flag for daytime use. To be clear, this means the others would be carried aboard strictly because you felt they upped your chances of being rescued, rather than to meet the standards of the law. Remember, the law sets a minimum standard; whether or not that’s an adequate standard really depends on your boating habits.

We stationed our team of observers on a beach, and our test-boat captain positioned the boat at one-, three-, and fivemile distances from the beach. The night for our test was clear, with a full moon, and there were onshore lights in the background, behind the test boat – the most challenging set-up for detecting distress signals in calm conditions. The distress signals were then activated in a random sequence, and our observers were asked to rate them on relative visibility, ability to attract attention, and confidence that what was observed was a call for help.

ELECTRIC VDS STANDARD COMING

When you multiply three flares per boat times the millions of boats required to carry visual distress signals, that’s a huge pile of expired hazardous materials. Even the Coast Guard thinks it’s a problem. Starting in 2011, the Coast Guard decided to examine what might work as a replacement for traditional flares. The result was a proposed standard for Electronic Visual Distress Signals, based on their tests to determine the optimal characteristics for a good visual distress signal, published in March of 2015. Those characteristics include:

• Flashing at a rate of four times a second (4HZ) • An alternating color pattern of cyan (greenish-blue) and red-orange • Different flash patterns • A minimum average intensity of 130 candela • A hemispheric pattern that allowed all around visibility At time of writing, none of the lights tested met these requirements, nor did the lasers. It will likely be a number of years before the standard is finalized and new products that meet the standard come to market.

LEDs are durable and long-lasting but are not as bright as flares.

atively new to the scene, and as the technology continues to evolve, prices are dropping rapidly. LEDs are durable and long-lasting, so more devices are expected to come on the market in the next few years.

PROS Highest effective intensity of any electronic light available Easy to set a particular color, length of flash, or flash pattern With appropriate power, can work for days, rather than minutes Far safer than pyrotechnic flares CONS Can be hard to distinguish from background lights Not as bright as pyrotechnic flares.

The best-performing light consistently ranked as less visible than the control, a USCG-approved, red Orion handheld flare.

With no expiration date, batteries need to be checked regularly People might not know a signal from an LED device is a call for help Doesn’t have the range of visibility that pyrotechnic devices have. At five miles, the performance dropped off considerably

Lasers Lasers have been on the scene longer than LED lights, but haven’t caught on as an alternative to flares. Unlike what you might think at first, these devices are not like “light sabers” you’d see in the movies. Though under the right conditions you can see the beam of light, especially with a green laser. The green Greatlands flare was very popular with observers, especially at longer distances. Unlike laser pointers, which should never be aimed at aircraft (or other boats for that matter) as they temporarily blind the operator, the flares tested emit light in a fan pattern, so the greater the distance from the viewer, the wider the fan. This pattern also protects the eyes of your potential rescuer, as the light isn’t a focused beam that could burn your retina. The observer simply sees a green flashing light.

PROS Green laser is very visible at night, and the farther away it is, the wider its beam becomes. Always ranked in the top three by our observers, it led the field at three miles, and practically tied for the top spot at five miles.

Far safer than pyrotechnic flares

Compact, and designed to last for five hours of continuous use.

CONS Lasers are directional, so you must aim them at a potential rescuer, which means you need some idea where help might be coming from before they can be of much use.

The green color is more expensive than the red, but it was also easier to see.

The red version ranked just under the USCG-approved, red Orion handheld in all tests.

While legal for use in rescue situations and deemed “eye safe,” pilots in particular, fear lasers.

Fire Or Light?

So where does that leave the boater who needs to make a decision? If performance is secondary to staying in the good graces of your local boating safety patrol, the Sirius Signal SOS light and a distress flag will cover the basics. If you’re headed offshore, certainly add more and better flares to your list, and maybe a laser or automatic SOS light for good measure. And if you’re somewhere in the middle, sticking with the tried-and-true might work for you. None of the options is perfect and it’s important to have other means of signaling aboard, be it a VHF, cellphone, or satellite-based device, depending on your needs. No matter which you choose, make sure you keep them up-to-date, easily accessible aboard, and know how to use them.

SAN DIEGO— The USS Louisiana

was photographed off the coast of Coronado, California, on April 14, 1908, during the “Great White Fleet’s” visit to the west coast. The fleet anchored off the Hotel del Coronado and spent four days in San Diego before departing for Los Angeles on April 18. In 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt sent the “Great White Fleet” around the world as part of a show of strength to American advisories. Roosevelt wanted to use this time of peace to expose any failures in the fleet and impress upon the Japanese that the U.S. could shift its strength from the Atlantic to the Pacific where there were mounting tensions. “I want all failures, blunders, and shortcomings to be made apparent in time of peace and not in time of war,” said Roosevelt before the fleet’s departure. The fleet consisted of sixteen new battleships

added to the Atlantic Fleet. The ships were painted white except for folded scrollwork on their bows. There were four squadrons of warships manned by 14,000 sailors and marines under the command of Rear Admiral Robley, “Fighting Bob” Evans, according to the Naval History and Heritage Command website. The deployment of the fleet is considered the first round-the-world cruise by a fleet of steam-powered steel battleships. It was a 43,000-mile journey that took 14 months and had 20 port calls on six continents.

Distant from the activities of the war raging in Europe and Asia, Rockwell was

compelled to record his interpretation of the effects of World War II on servicemen and women for Americans at home.

Participants will look at Rockwell’s most iconic images of the era, from his influential Four Freedoms, inspired by President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1941 Address to Congress, to his determined Rosie the Riveter and fictional private Willie Gillis, who told the story of one man’s army in a series of popular Post covers.

This exhibition also commemorates the 80th anniversary of Catalina Island’s involvement in World War II. During the virtual First Fridays event, the museum will present memories of what life was like on the island during that time through oral histories and stories from several longtime island residents.

The event is free for museum members and $5 for non-members. For more information on the museum’s calendar of events, visit Catalina Museum.

2022 Safety Equipment Requirements (SER) for nearshore, coastal, and ocean racing; the new requirements became effective on Jan. 1.

The requ i rement s a re a set of equipment requirements for larger boats taking part in nearshore, coastal, and ocean racing to provide racing authorities with clear safety equipment requirements.

The requirements were considered by the SER committee, a group of sailors from across the US who make a set of proposed changes for final approval by the Safety at Sea Committee, the Offshore Committee, and the US Sailing Board of Directors.

Avoid Pier Pressure; Dock Like a Pro Ahoy Sailors, let’s saila-brate! Now that you are well versed in the sailing part let’s talk about how to get you and your sailboat back home safely. Stay tuned for the next lesson, which will explain how to sail in different weather conditions.

By: KATHERINE M CLEMENTS

SOUTHERN CALIF. — What do you do

with a sick boat? Take it to the doc! Now that we are all laughing, let’s break down how to dock your sailboat properly and safely. Docking your boat can be intimidating, but doing it well is the only way to keep you, your passengers, and your boat safe. There are six steps to docking your boat, and they go like this:

thing that moves your boat, so consider wind conditions, current, and drift when managing your position.

4. Take your time and proceed slowly towards the dock using intermittent acceleration. Never accelerate when driving towards the dock. This is where patience becomes important. Let momentum glide your sailboat into position. And again, never approach a dock faster than you’re willing to collide with it.

5. Pull toward the dock keeping the helm straight ahead and come alongside the dock. Boats don’t move as easily as cars, so always try to approach the dock in a sideways position, having your boat parallel to the dock.

2. Line up your approach through slow and controlled adjustments at the helm and survey the docking area.

Remember that this is intended to be a gentle maneuver, so don’t pull into the dock any faster than you’re comfortable hitting it.

6. Tie off your boat onto cleats, posts, or pilings using your docking lines.

The reason sailors use the “throwing the loop” technique off the boat is because you won’t always have someone on the dock to catch your rope and hook you to the cleat.

Throwing your looped dock line off the boat and around the cleat gives the person on the boat all the control. An important part of throwing the loop is that your dock line is coiled up nice and neat; therefore, when you throw that line off the boat, you get a nice sweep around the cleat. Once your line is wrapped around the cleat, piling, or post, and you already have the other end of the line attached to the cleat on your boat, at that point, you pull on the line to remove the slack and guide your boat in slowly towards the dock.

3. Judge the current, wind, and water conditions. The motor isn’t the only

Voila! Your boat is docked. It can also be helpful to have a friend or fam-

1. Prepare dock lines on your bow (the front) and stern (the rear) and attach your fenders to the side of the boat that you wish to dock. This is an excellent opportunity to ask your guests to help; docking a boat can be more than a one-person job.

ily member on board or at the dock to help assist you throughout the process. If you’re docking by yourself, remember to take it slow and to not be afraid to stop, pull back, and circle to try again. Place your fenders ahead of time and have your docking lines ready to tie off as soon as you’re near the dock.

Now, let’s discuss docking a boat in different situations.

Docking in a Slip As a boater, docking in a slip is a common scenario you’ll often find yourself in regardless of whether you are docking in your own slip, a friend’s slip, or at a public marina or dockside restaurant (a slip is more like a single parking space for your boat). Before you begin, it is highly recommended to have your docking lines and fenders ready ahead of time on both sides of your boat. As in any docking situation, you’ll want to start by checking your surroundings—check for other nearby boats and be conscious of the wind, water, and current conditions.

Next, constantly maneuver at a slow speed. Within a slip, you have limited mobility, making you more likely to make mistakes. In most cases, you’ll want to position your boat so you’re able to back into the slip. Before you start backing in, you’ll want to center your wheel.

Slowly reverse your boat into the slip.

Do your best to keep your balance and tell your passengers to stay seated during the process. This is not only for their safety, but it can help to keep the boat steady as it moves into the slip. Next, apply one last small burst of power forward to stop your reverse momentum. Then, tie off your lines to the dock. We suggest having two bow lines and two stern lines tied onto both sides of the slip—with the stern lines crossed.

How to Tie a Boat to a Dock Docking your boat can quickly become second nature with a little bit of practice. So, along with the docking process itself, you’ll also want to familiarize yourself with how to tie your boat to the dock. But, first, let’s make sure you have the right equipment.

When it comes to docking equipment, you’ll want to keep an ample supply of docking lines on hand. These docking lines, also known as mooring lines, can be used in a few different ways and are sometimes referred to as bow, stern, spring, and breast lines. In most cases, you›ll only be utilizing your bow lines and stern lines. The final piece of equipment you’ll want on board are fenders, sometimes referred to as «bumpers.»

You’ll usually be docking in a slip or alongside a dock when tying off your boat.

In either of these cases, you’ll find cleats or pilings. Cleats are small, t-shaped equipment, usually made of steel or some metal attached to the dock. You also have similar cleats on your boat that you’ll use to secure your docking lines. On the other hand, pilings are large wooden posts that you would commonly find on a pier or positioned recurrently along the dock.

Whenever possible, you’ll want to tie off your boat to the dock using cleats rather than pilings for the simple reason that tying off on a piling can sometimes be more challenging.

When it is time to tie your boat to the dock, there are a few common knots you can use to secure your lines: the cleat hitch, the clove hitch, and the bowline knot.

For more information on tiring knots, you can visit the Discover Boating YouTube channel to watch Boating Knots 101.

From page 21

Monohulls in the ocean category will need to stow a fire blanket adjacent to each stove. The multihull category underwent several changes to make it consistent with the monohull category; changes include instructions for boat owners to cooperate with investigations at events under the SER. The SER committee has the objective of meeting the needs of the US Offshore Community while maintaining compatibility with the World Sailing OSRs. There are four key ways the SERs and the OSRs differ.

1. The SERs are easier for yacht owners and pre-race inspectors to understand.

2. The SERs are self-contained and do not refer to external documents.

3. The number of race categories has been reduced from seven to three: Nearshore, Coastal, and Ocean.

Race organizers can then add or delete gear requirements based on the nature of their individual races.

4. The SERs are more compact and can easily be included in their entirety in a Notice of Race or on a yacht club website.

US Sailing has uploaded the SERs in two formats: individual PDF files of the requirements for each category and an excel spreadsheet of the requirements, including instructions, an appendix, and a history of revisions. For a complete list of safety requirements, see the US Sailing website at https://bit.ly/3s8edPN.

There is a four-fish limit for vermilion rockfish, a one-fish limit for quillback rockfish, and a onefish limit for copper rockfish. Cabezon must be at least 15 inches in total length, and kelp of rock greenlings must be at least 12 inches. Bronzespotted rockfish, cowcod, and yelloweye rockfish cannot be taken in California. The bag limits were updated on Jan. 6 after stock assessments came back, showing severe population declines. “New stock assessments conducted in 2021 for quillback and copper rockfish suggest severe population declines for these two species.

Also, unsustainably high catches of vermilion rockfish have occurred each year since 2015,” said California Department of Fish and Wildlife Environmental Program Manager Marci Yaremko in a Jan. 4 press release. “For these reasons, new federal regulations were needed to implement reduced sport bag limits for these three species in 2022.” Take of rockfish is prohibited seaward of 100 fathoms, or 600 feet; anglers are encouraged to use a descending device when returning rockfish or other species subject to barotrauma to the bottom.

“I’ll Stop the World and Melt with You,” -Climate Change

NORTH AMERICA — A recent study con-

ducted by Nature Communications suggests melting glaciers in western North America are creating new habitats for salmon.

“A lthough decreases in summer streamflow and warming freshwater is reducing salmon habitat quality in parts of their range, glacier retreat is creating new streams and lakes that salmon can colonize,” said the study. “However, potential gains in future salmon habitat associated with glacier loss have yet to be quantified across the range of Pacific salmon.”

Glacial retreat through the year 2100

The study projects that by the year 2100, glacier retreat will create 3,818 miles of new streams accessible for colonization by Pacific salmon, of which 1,200 miles have the potential for spawning and juvenile rearing within 18 sub-regions.

“While Pacific salmon abundances have shifted from region to region over decades to centuries in response to climatic variability, ocean heatwaves, low summer water flows, and excessively warm water temperatures are currently stressing many wild salmon populations,” said the study.

The study cautions that predicting locations of emerging salmon habitats is imperative because while such climate change may present opportunities for salmon, it also creates prospects for largescale resource extraction industries such as mining, which have the potential to

poses benefits to salmon but also warns of the need for forward-looking management, decision making, and conservation planning. A glacier will retreat when its terminus (the end of a glacier at any point in time) does not extend as far down the valley as it previously did.

The United States exists mainly in Alaska but can also be found in Washington, Oregon, California, and Montana and lead up into Canada. This glacier is the Aialik glacier in Kenai Fjords NP, Alaska. impair these emerging salmon habitats.

threshold.

Research for the study was funded by the Gordon and Becky Moore Foundation and ultimately identified 315 retreating glaciers at headwaters of present-day streams that will create salmon-accessible streams—estimating a 10 percent stream gradient threshold for upstream salmon migration, and 603 glaciers assuming a 15 percent stream gradient

Even one kilometer of a stream can boost salmon habitat and produce 500 to 1,500 juvenile Coho salmon. Accordingly, with thousands of miles of new habitat being created from glacier retreats, there is potential to produce hundreds of thousands to millions of additional juvenile salmon, depending on the species, according to the study.

FEATURED CATCH Pull the Trigger, Go Fishing SAN CLEMENTE— “Nice triggerfish caught on the Clemente today!” said Dana Wharf Sportfishing in a Feb. 19 Facebook post. “Did you know they call them triggerfish because you can’t push down the first large spine unless you push the send spine or “trigger” down first?!”

976-BITE FISH REPORTS

20 and Southern California anglers are keeping an eye on the surface fishing that they hope will improve with the arrival of spring if not before. In the meantime, many anglers will be celebrating the end of the annual two-month rockfish/groundfish closure in U.S./ California waters by going out fishing on or after the March 1 “opener” to have the fun of being one of the first to drop baits down to bottom fish species that have not been fished since Dec. 31, 2021.



During the two-month closure period, anglers have been traveling to Mexican waters to fish for the rockfish/ groundfish species that are covered by the closure. Boats on 1.5-day trips have been traveling to the Punta Colnett region and have been doing very well on reds, whitefish, rockfish, sheephead, and lingcod along with some flurries of bonito and an occasional yellowtail.



Seaforth Sportfishing had a recent trip aboard Tribute fishing a 1.5-day trip to Punta Colnett that had 32 anglers return with 43 lingcod, 139 reds, 62 rockfish, 52 whitefish, 2 sheephead, 1 sculpin, and 21 bonito. Liberty out of Fisherman’s Landing also fished a recent 1.5-day trip and returned with a catch of 135 reds, 130 rockfish, 10 lingcod, 7 sheephead, and 20 bonito.

www.976BITE.COM

 When Punta Colnett yellowtail are located they have been running from 10 to 20 pounds. The yellowtail bites tend to come from locating meter marks or sonar marks and then fishing with yo-yo iron or with live baits that are dropped down to the meter marks using a dropper loop rig. Salas 6X Jr. and Salas 6X jigs in the blue and white color combination have been good choices for yo-yo iron. Yo-yo jigs in a “reddish-brown” color have been reported to be working well for lingcod.

Closer to San Diego, boats out on three-quarter day and extended halfday trips that have wanted to fish for the bottom fish species covered by the rockfish/groundfish closure in U.S./ California waters have been traveling into Mexican waters to fish around Los Coronado Islands. The fishing around Los Coronado Islands has been good and has been producing a mix of reds, salmon grouper, whitefish, rockfish, and an occasional lingcod.

 A productive zone for the bottom fishing around Los Coronado Islands has been the hard bottom to the north and northwest of North Island and a good depth range has been in 30 to 50 fathoms with depths down to 130-plus fathoms reported to be productive. 

New Seaforth out of Seaforth Sportfishing and Malihini out of H&M

Landing have been running trips into Mexican waters from San Diego Bay and Mission Bay to fish for rockfish species.

The most recent trip on New Seaforth had 24 anglers on an extended half-day trip catch 200 rockfish. The most recent trip on Malihini was a three-quarter day trip where 14 anglers caught 20 reds, 15 salmon grouper, and 52 rockfish.



There have been no recent reports about yellowtail or other surface fish biting around Los Coronado Islands.

Earlier in the winter season, there were occasional showings of yellowtail reported around North Island and over hard bottom into the northeast of North Island.



Along the San Diego County Coast, boats will start fishing for reds, salmon grouper, rockfish, whitefish, and lingcod when the two-month annual rockfish/ groundfish closure comes to an end on March 1. Hard bottom areas off of the San Diego County coast that Skippers will want to try are listed from the south to the north and include the International Reef, the Whistler Buoy off Point Loma, the Green Tank, Point Loma College, The 270 located to the west of Mission Bay, the upper end of La Jolla, Del Mar, Leucadia, South Carlsbad, and Box Canyon.



There have been occasional showings of yellowtail outside of Pacific Beach, the upper end of La Jolla and Torrey Pines. The showings of yellowtail remain erratic and unpredictable from day to day but if you are there when yellowtail decide to show you have a chance at hooking a nice-sized fish.

Full story will be found online.
