Proposed amendment would allow for greater enforcement of procedural regulations related to boating and feeding marine birds.

By Devon Warren

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles County’s Board of Supervisors, in an effort to drastically cut down the waste being secreted into the harbor, approved a draft ordinance to make amendments to update a code section regulating harbors with respect to Total Maximum Daily Load, or TMDL. Supervisors also directed the County Counsel to revise and prepare the final ordinance to be presented in the coming months.

The vote was made as part of the Supervisors’ consent calendar on March 6.

TMDL has been the theme of many an amendment before, but it could take on a more literal meaning since a focal point of recent amendments for a draft ordinance about Marina del Rey’s harbor toxicity levels primarily relate to bodily waste – both human and bird – and hull-cleaning procedures.

The exceptionally high levels of bacteria and waste in Marina del Rey – and what to do about them – have been discussed at length since 2004.

A count staff report cited three

sources to target in terms of minimizing and preventing chemical and bacterial pollutants into the waterways of Marina del Rey Harbor: vessel hull cleaning and maintenance; vessel waste disposal devices; and, birds, namely their excrement.

“The item was approved by four votes; Supervisor Barger was absent,” Maral Tashjian, a representative for the county of Los Angeles Department of Beaches & Harbors, told The Log. Tashjian added the final ordinance should be returning to the Board for a final say in the next few months.

One of the proposals required by the ordinance, should it pass in the future, called for the certification for in-water hull cleaning Best Management Practices (BMPs) and to prohibit any kind of hull cleaning resulting in “a visible plume in the water.”

Additionally, the draft called for regulations placed on liveaboard vessels to also be implemented on all vessels and floating facilities operating within the harbor.

The draft ordinance read: “Toilet fixtures on vessels, floating homes, houseboats and floating facilities would be required to demonstrate, if requested by the Harbor Master, that their vessels do not leak or discharge any waste into harbor waters. And vessels with a sanitation device, which allows direct overboard discharge of

A new proposed amendment to Title 19 will address the harbor side of regulations, including hull cleaning, vessel waste disposal and feeding marine birds, in an effort to reduce toxic waste in Marina del Rey waters.

waste, must be secured while inside the harbor.”

Overfeeding of birds was also cited as problematic, and the amendment called for patrons and boaters on the shore to cease feeding them so as not to cause more unnecessary waste.

For years, officials have tried to shift boaters from using the reliable copper-based paints used for preventing marine growth on the bottoms of boats to use as an alternate, more environmentally friendly paint. In 2014, Los Angeles County announced copper loads must be reduced by 85 percent by March 22, 2024.

Boaters have been slow to switch paints, though the county’s plan

Find Your Place in the Sun at Chula Vista Marina Resort

included converting at least 100 of “official” vessels to paints without copper. While copper paints have made an impact of the marina, the hullcleaning process that possibly strips the paint into the water is another major concern according to the pilot program.

County supervisors and the regional water board had met an agreement to move ahead with the development of a Contaminated Sediment Management Plan (CSMP) to coincide with Marina del Rey’s previously established TMDL restrictions, The Log reported on Feb. 2, 2017. County officials were slated to submit the finalized CSMP by Dec. 31, 2019.

Discarded fish scales could benefit burn victims

SINGAPORE — Give a man a fish and feed him for a day.

Give a burned man a fish-skin bandage and witness a medical miracle.

Fish has been a major source of food, reaching record-breaking numbers of consumption, worldwide, in 2016. Yet discarded fish scales could also be a saving grace for burn victims in developing nations.

Collagen derived from fish scales, a study by Nanyang Technological University in Singapore showed, could potentially be an effective healing source. The scales, when applied to mice for tissue regeneration, were found to

Jay Inslee directed state agencies to take immediate and longer-term steps to protect the struggling killer whales.

Similar studies were conducted in Brazil, with the patients being human; similarly positive results were shown.

Tilapia bandages were recently in local news when bears and cougars burned during the Thomas Wildfires, the worst fires in California on record, were successfully treated using this technique.

Staff treating the animals noticed that with the fishscale bandage method healing occurred more quickly with animals being released back into the wild in weeks, instead of months. With the addition of corn-husk wraps, the animals were able to walk more quickly than with the routine treatments. Another benefit:

Inslee said the orcas are in trouble and called on everyone in the state to do their part. His executive order aims to make more salmon available to the whales, give them more space and quieter waters, ensure they have clean water to swim in and protect them from potential oil spills.

“The destiny of salmon and orca and we humans are intertwined,” the governor said at a news conference at the Daybreak Star Cultural Center in Seattle.“As the orca go, so go we.”

An orca task force forming now will meet for the first time next month and will come up with final recommendations by November.

Many have been sounding the

alarm for years about the plight of the closely tracked population of southern resident killer whales.

The federal government listed the orcas as endangered in 2005, and more recently identified them as among the most at risk of extinction in the near future.

A baby orca has not been born in the past few years. Half of the calves born during a celebrated baby boom several years ago have died. Female orcas also are having pregnancy problems linked to nutritional stress brought on by a low supply of Chinook salmon, the whales’ preferred food, a recent study said.

whales, train more commercial whale-watching boats to help respond to oil spills and adjust fishing regulations to protect key areas and fish runs for orcas.

The whales use clicks, calls and other sounds to navigate, communicate and forage mainly for salmon, and noise from vessels can interfere.

Last year, the endangered orcas spent the fewest number of days in the central Salish Sea that spans Washington and Canada in four decades, mostly because there wasn’t enough salmon to eat, according to the Center for Whale Research, which keeps the whale census for the federal government.

NATIONWIDE — A federal council charged with advising the Department of Interior and Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) on recreational fishing resources and boating activities will convene again during the first week of April.

FAST FACTS: “The Mercy”

By Parimal M. Rohit

Department’s Order 3347 – sets out to improve and enhance angler access to federal fishing lands and improve fish habitats, among other actions.

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke issued the order on March 2, adding FWS’s assistant secretary must report to him “with specific recommendations to enhance recreational fishing, specifically regarding efforts to enhance and expand recreational fishing access.”

Details of the Interior Department order will be discussed at the April meetings. Council members could, after hearing the report, develop consensus-based recommendations of how federal agencies could “enhance and expand recreational fishing access.”

The council could also hear and discuss updates on other FWS programs, according to a

ENGLAND — The voyage that never happened is now the subject of a film recently released in England. Director James Marsh helmed “The Mercy,” a biopic drama starring Colin Firth and Rachel Weisz. Firth stars as Donald Crowhurst, an amateur sailor who claimed he circumnavigated the globe on his sailboat – but in reality never left the Atlantic Ocean.

Crowhurst entered a single-handed aroundthe-world race, sponsored by The Sunday Times of London, in 1968. His custom designed boat didn’t last long, but Crowhurst didn’t reveal this to the world. Instead he radioed to London of his progress. It was soon revealed Crowhurst remained in the Atlantic and lied about his voyage. The sailor never made it back to shore, either, as Crowhurst’s ill-fated navigation claimed his life.

A 2006 documentary (“Deep Water”) on Crowhurst’s failed journey pictured the sailor as in debt and needing to complete the sailing quest to make good on the monies he owed.

The sailor was in his late 30s when he died. He

was born, near Delhi, India, in 1932 to a railway superintendent and schoolteacher. The first few years of his life were spent just outside the Indian capitol city. At 10 his family moved to a city in what is now Western Pakistan. The Crowhursts eventually returned to England in the late 1940s, shortly after India gained independence.

The next 20 years weren’t kind to Crowhurst.

His father passed away while he was young and his mother spent years living in hospitals or nursing homes.

Crowhurst, himself, met his fateful end aboard his trimaran. No one quite knows how he passed away. He presumably drowned, though it is unclear whether Crowhurst met the end of his life accidentally or intentionally.

Marsh’s film, which recounts Crowhurst’s attempted sail-around-the-world, opened in U.K. theaters on Feb. 9 and is being released in other countries.

Federal Register notice.

Those who want to participate in the meeting – which will take place in Washington, D.C. – must reach out to the council by March 30. Members of the public will be allowed to provide the council with input on the Interior Department order. Questions or comments could be council in advance – particularly for those who won’t be able to make it to the nation’s capitol to attend the two-day council meeting.

(See Take Action section for contact information.)

Of course there is more to this meeting than an order seeking to “enhance and expand” access for anglers who wish to fish on federal lands – which, of course, could and would influence similar policies at the state and local levels.

The Interior Department’s management of federal lands dates back to Pres. Theodore Roosevelt’s Executive Order 13443. Roosevelt, through the order, directed the federal government to expand and enhance outdoor activities, which now, among other things, include boating and fishing.

What do we make of the Sport Fish and Boating Partnership Council?

How has the council fostered greater collaboration amongst the country’s anglers and boaters? What can anglers and boaters do to ensure the council is looking out for their best interests (if, only, on a federal level)?

Federal officials created the 18-member council in 1993, at around the same time as the country transitioned from Pres. George Bush to Pres.

Bill Clinton.

“The council was formed in January 1993 … on aquatic conservation endeavors that benefit recreational fishery resources and recreational boating and that encourage partnerships among industry, the public, and government,” FWS staff stated in its Federal Register notice for the council’s

April meetings. “The council represents the interests of the public and private sectors of the recreational fishing, boating, and conservation communities and is organized to enhance partnerships among industry, constituency groups, and government.”

The Secretary of the Interior appoints all 18 members to the council.

“Council members are directors from state agencies responsible for managing recreational fish and wildlife resources and individuals who represent the interests of saltwater and freshwater recreational fishing, recreational boating, the recreational fishing and boating industries, recreational fisheries resource conservation, Native American tribes, aquatic resource outreach and education organizations, and tourism,” FWS staff stated in the Federal Register notice.

In 1994 the council released its Recreational Fisheries Stewardship Initiative, which outlined threats to fisheries. The council also released several position papers and reports in the mid-1990s, addressing federal aid for sportfishing restoration and how to enhance recreational fisheries programs.

Council members also helped direct recommendations on the federal Recreational Fishery Resources Conservation Plan in 1996 and establish a partnership for fisheries conservation in 2002.

Boaters received a comprehensive guide to clean water initiatives, as part of the Clean Vessel Act, in 2008 – courtesy of the Sport Fish and Boating Partnership Council.

A list of Sport Fish and Boating Partnership Council accomplishments can be found online at fws.gov/sfbpc/ accomplishments.html.

Can the council do more for the nation’s anglers and boaters? What can state and local entities do to complement the federal council? These questions and more should be directed to members of the council.

Developer enhances waterfront project, sparking mixed reactions

By Parimal M. Rohit SAN DIEGO — A developer tabbed with renovating a valuable stretch of Downtown San Diego waterfront property revealed several changes must be made to the project.

Seaport Village, which would bring several visitor-serving amenities to the San Diego waterfront, will look quite different from original plans, Gafcon Inc.’s Yehudi Gaffen told the Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners, March 13.

The port district selected Gafcon Inc. to pursue a major redevelopment of the Seaport Village area in 2016; the development firm created 1HWY1 to oversee the development. Original plans called for a Space Needle-like structure – called “The Spire” – to dominate the San Diego skyline.

The 1HWY1 project also includes an artificial beach, according to plans.

Visitor-serving retail, overnight accommodations, office space and an aquarium also highlighted 1HWY1’s plans.

the “Headquarters” center; however, the acquisition was not completed, causing the developer to make even more changes to the original plan.

The updated plan would also relocate the aquarium to a new location on the site and make other tweaks to project elements.

Mixed Reactions Wayne Raffesberger, a former landuse attorney and urban planning professor, said the 1HWY1 proposal is “one of the worst projects” he’s ever seen.

“I can safely say this is one of the worst projects I’ve ever seen. It is a mishmash of ideas and concepts, some merely unnecessary, some bad and others, frankly, atrocious,” Raffesberger told commissioners. “Why do we need an aquarium on the waterfront when we have the Birch Aquarium and Sea World within just a few miles of this site? Why do we need an artificial beach when we have real beaches within miles of this site.”

He described The Spire as a “mushroom on steroids” and would open the door for San Diego to be referred to as “Seattle Junior.”

A representative from the Grand Manchester Hyatt, which is adjacent to the Seaport Village property, also expressed opposition to 1HWY1’s changed plans, saying view corridors would be blocked and the project’s density is too large. The representative asked commissioners to send plans back to the developer.

The blocking of Hyatt’s bay view can be attributed to 1HWY1 moving its planned hotel off the earthquake fault and to its new location (adjacent to a hostel), a situation Commissioner See POSD EMBARCADERO page 15

San Pedro’s waterfront evictions is latest in “plight of the boaters” Boaters at Ports O’ Call Village faced evictions for the second time, March 6; tenants demand an investigation.

SAN PEDRO — San Pedro’s waterfront is beginning to weave a heartbreaking picture along the lines of Charles Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities.” As Ports O’ Call boaters, tenants and locals butt heads with the Port of Los Angeles (POLA), the picture is still unclear. Boaters at the Ports O’ Call marina faced a second wave of evictions, but will the current climate be revealed as an age of darkness as waterfront redevelopments loom?

The second wave of evictions occurred at the marina at Ports O’ Call on March 6 at 9 a.m. as the L.A. Waterfront continues its transformation into San Pedro Public Market. The redevelopment is more controversial than exciting, it appears at times. Tension between Ports O’ Call tenants and boaters and POLA has been heightening for some time, perhaps going back as far as 20 years when the idea of redeveloping the L.A. Waterfront was first imagined.

The Log covered the first set of marina evictions back in 2016.

Boaters, during this second round of evictions, were given the option to relocate to Cabrillo Marina, an offer accepted by 14 boaters. In total, about 45 boats received notices by the Los Angeles Port Police on Nov. 30, 2017.

The notices informed boaters their vessels must be removed from the marina

by March 1. A second batch of notices was sent to boaters on Dec. 20, 2017.

By March 1, only three vessels had remained in the marina; those vessels were removed by L.A. Port Police.

“The master tenant (Jayme Wilson dba Spirit Cruises) was notified on June 30, 2017 and again on Sept. 2, 2017.

We do not know if he notified the boat owners since they were his tenants, not the Port’s,” Phillip Sanfield, director of media relations for POLA, told The Log.

A Flavor of the Controversy

By Devon Warren

The Ports O’ Call marina witnessed its first evictions in 2016 in preparation for developments along the L.A. Waterfront, including the controversial San Pedro Public Market. Marina evictions occurred for a second time in March 2018.

James Allen, a local San Pedro publisher and member of the Central San Pedro Neighborhood Council, said he is familiar with “the plight of the boaters.”

Although the Port may have filed its proceedings legally, Allen said the agency’s actions, at the very least, have shaken tenants and created an atmosphere of mistrust.

“There is an underlying mistrust of the POLA by most of the tenants and this whole development has been terribly mishandled from a public relations perspective, no matter how grandiose the developer’s drawing looks,” Allen told The Log, who added that he has had conversations with tenants such as Jayme Wilson, the owner of Ports O’ Call Restaurant, Spirit Cruises and the marina that saw evictions earlier in the month.

“If you look at the public comments on both the Jan. 11 and Jan. 25 Harbor Commission meetings on the POLA website, you’ll get a flavor of the controversy,” Allen continued.

Allen also felt that the Port Police might have expected a showdown near the waterfront, but no conflict occurred during the eviction process.

POLA, however, is sticking to a single narrative.

“At every point in this process, the port has been fully transparent in our efforts and fully compliant with all laws and regulations with respect to this process,” Sanfield said. “We sympathize with business owners who have been displaced during this process. We

understand it is difficult to transition to new opportunities. These circumstances should not have been a surprise to anyone. Tenants have been on a monthto-month lease since 2014 and the port signed an agreement with the new developer in 2016.”

Wilson could not be reached for commentary, yet an article published by The Daily Breeze on March 12 reveals details on his side of the story.

The article indicates Wilson might have been told by one of the developers, The Ratkovich Company, his operations could remain open through Dec. 31, 2018 and slips could continue being used through this time period as well.

While Wilson might have been told one thing, POLA considered the costs of delayed construction too much and decided against allowing Wilson to keep businesses open during construction.

Sanfield stated he wasn’t aware where boaters found moorings, but said Wilson, who was the operator, might know.

“Some of these working boaters found safe harbor at Cabrillo Way Marina and at least one other went to Newmark’s in Wilmington,” Allen stated.

Tenants of Ports O’ Call claimed the selection process for the L.A. Waterfront developer was manipulated to choose developers who did not have the best interests of the locals and tenants in mind. Tenants also claimed an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was illegally changed and all evicted tenants were discriminated against because of

their race.

Sanfield, in an email to The Log, stated such claims, made by tenants at a March 12 news conference, “made a variety of unsubstantiated claims that have no merit.”

The port and developers will move forward with plans to build San Pedro Public Market in the midst of a heated lawsuit. Reports from the March 20 Town Hall meeting are sure to follow as for what those designs and plans will ultimately include.

Current renderings of the project envision a grandiose outdoor marketplace with the possibility of bringing back the Red Line Trolley of days past, carnival rides and new retail shops and eateries along with the possibility of a few old Ports O’ Call classics – if the legalities of these are ever straightened out. Notably, San Pedro Public Market is a complete departure from the old Ports O’ Call Village if one goes by the initial drawings.

Ports O’ Call Tenant Request for Investigation & Request for Criminal Complaint In a correspondence to The Log, Jesse Marquez, executive director of Coalition For A Safe Environment and speaker on behalf of evicted tenants, shared a written statement explaining the major complaints 18 evicted tenants of Ports O’ Call Village have against POLA. Of some of the damages is the loss of more than 100 small-business jobs.

“The San Pedro Waterfront Project named the San Pedro Public Market and the EIR were approved by the Port of Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners in September 2009 and clearly state that the Ports O’ Call Village Tenants would be relocated during Phase I construction until the new San Pedro Public Market would be completed,” a statement released by the coalition said.

The statement continues: “The Port in May 2018 approved an Addendum to the 2009 Project Final EIR seven years later, which made major changes in the project phases, project design and to evict all existing Ports O’ Call tenants See L.A. WATERFRONT page 11

Changing of the Guard in San Diego Story and photo by Capt. Nicole Sours Larson SAN DIEGO — Newly-appointed Port of San Diego Vice President of Public Safety/Chief of the San Diego Harbor Police Department Mark Stainbrook administered the oath of office to 11 freshly-promoted officers on March 16, including Assistant Chief Kirk Nichols and 10 others ranging from corporal to captain. The oath of office followed Stainbrook’s own swearing in by his

predecessor as chief, Col. John Bolduc (pictured).

Bolduc is now superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol.

The oaths of office were administered during a Change of Command ceremony at the Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier on San Diego’s Embarcadero.

Stainbrook had previously served as the port district’s vice president of public safety; he joined the Harbor Police as assistant chief six years ago, after retiring from the Los Angeles Police Department as a lieutenant.

with no invitation to come back. Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) an addendum, which is attached to the Final EIR, can only include minor project changes and information.”

One of the tenants, Akibu Jimoh, the owner of African American Gifts, said in the press release: “I have been part of Ports O’ Call Village for [more than] 20 years and I cannot believe that this has happened in America. I feel so bad that I had to lay off all of my employees, they have nowhere to go. I demand that the State Attorney General step in and begin an investigation of the Port of Los Angeles and the qualifications of the selected developers.”

Marquez and the tenants further have documented “[more than] 5,000 pages of reference information and evidence” that they have released to the general public, and have forwarded their findings to agents such as U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Attorney General and others.

Criticism on Waterfront Developments Unfortunately, the L.A. Waterfront is not the first – and will not be the last – of these circumstances. In a balancing act, it is incredibly difficult to retain the character of a waterfront and its locals while bringing in a big business corporation. It might appear, to some, the developers or city officials don’t care.

The Log’s own Capt. Nicole discussed her own experience with watching her beloved Potomac waterfront become gentrified, while the publication’s Standing Watch column, penned by Parimal M. Rohit, has rolled out this topic on a number of occasions as well.

Many of the locals and residents of San Pedro certainly expressed their point of view at the Jan. 28 POLA Harbor Commission meeting. Though overwhelming support for the waterfront redevelopment has been expressed in some corners, one would believe otherwise after listening to the comments made at the meeting.

What remains to be seen is whether those criticizing the recent developments – mostly, tenant evictions – at POLA will have any influence over the future of L.A. Waterfront.

NOAA Report: High Tide Flooding Could Be More Frequent

By Parimal M. Rohit

NATIONWIDE — High tide flooding has generally been occurring with more frequency in the United States, though the environmental phenomenon has been less problematic in California and the Pacific Northwest, according to a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) report published in early March.

“Patterns and Projections of High Tide Flooding Along the U.S. Coastline Using a Common Impact Threshold,” a NOAA Technical Report, stated high tide flooding is currently an issue for low-lying infrastructure, such as harbors, beaches and roads.

Cities across the United States – including San Diego – are being exposed to high tide flooding events due to rising relative sea level, the report’s authors stated.

NOAA, through tidal gauges placed along the entire U.S. coastline, measured a rapid change in the annual frequencies of high tide flooding, according to the agency’s report.

Such flooding could have an adverse effect on local harbors and waterfront property.

“Due to rising relative sea level, more and more cities are becoming increasingly exposed and evermore vulnerable to high tide flooding, which is rapidly increasing in frequency, depth and extent along many U.S. coastlines,” the NOAA report stated.

“Today, high tide flooding is likely more disruptive (a nuisance) than damaging.

The cumulative effects, however, are becoming a serious problem in several locations including many with strategic importance to national security such as Norfolk, Virginia, San Diego, California and Kwajalein Island in the U.S. Marshall Islands.”

Of concern is that the cumulative flood toll and response costs of many lesser floods will overtake that of major, but much rarer, events,” the report’s authors stated.

The report’s authors stated their report is not so much about addressing local flood risk as much as it seeks to establish a “nationally consistent” definition on coastal flooding and how it’s used in “quantifying and communicating risk.”

Port of San Diego’s commissioners were unable to agree on whether to cancel agreement with Sunroad Enterprises.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SAN DIEGO — Plans to redevelop a portion of Harbor Island will move forward as originally planned after a proposal to terminate a contractual relationship between the Port of San Diego and Sunroad Enterprises failed to move forward.

The Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners debated amongst each other for nearly two-and-a-half hours, March 13, before reaching a stalemate on whether to amend or terminate the district’s agreement with Sunroad Enterprises.

At heart of the issue is whether the eastern Harbor Island redevelopment should be pursued as one 500-room hotel project or a phased development where a 325-room hotel is built first, followed by a 175-room hotel project.

The port district and Sunroad Enterprises had entered into an exclusive negotiating agreement, or ENA, in 2016.

Complicating matters: Plans to redevelop Harbor Island’s eastern edge could still be altered depending on the outcome of a lawsuit involving the California Coastal Commission and port district.

The commission’s deadlock, however, means the proposed redevelopment will move forward as originally planned: Build a 325-room hotel on an “elbow” parcel now and potentially develop a 175-room hotel near Sunroad Marina later.

Harbor Island’s eastern end, which is about 55 acres in size, is considered by the port district to be the last large-scale redevelopment opportunities on San Diego Bay. Car rental companies and a marina, today, primarily occupy the eastern edge of Harbor Island.

Port district staff acknowledged plans to redevelop the eastern portion of Harbor Island has been difficult, but the 55-acre area is still prime for rebirth.

“The port now has the opportunity to reposition the site to a vibrant retail and hospitality destination,” Port of San Diego Real Estate Director Tony Gordon told commissioners. “Redevelopment opportunities of this scale do not come around very often.”

Commissioners were unable to reach any sort of consensus on how to move forward with one of two proposals.

The first proposal was a port district staff recommendation: Cancel the ENA with Sunroad and start the development process all over again. Commissioners were deadlocked on this proposal, 3-3.

A second proposal to negotiate an amendment to the ENA and allow Sunroad to develop a “high-quality” 500room hotel on Harbor Island’s eastern end also failed by a 3-3 vote.

Commission Chair Rafael Castellanos abstained from the deliberation.

Port Master Plan Sunroad and the port district revisited their legal status in hopes of remaining consistent with a Port Master Plan amendment, which allows for the development of 500 rooms across as many as three hotels and located on three separate parcels on Harbor Island’s eastern finger.

One hotel property, which would feature 175 rooms, would be located at the farthest end of the Harbor Island finger.

The other 375 rooms, which would have been built first, were proposed on a stretch of land adjacent to Sunroad’s marina parcel.

A single 500-room “high quality” hotel, conversely, could occupy the western edge of Harbor Island’s eastern edge – or “elbow parcel” – and would be consistent with the Port Master Plan amendment.

Building a single 500-room hotel in one phase – as opposed to spreading it out in two phases and multiple properties – would, according to Gordon, speed up the development process and allow Sunroad to still pursue a 175-room hotel project on its marina parcel.

The Port Master Plan, according to port district staff, does not allow for phasing.

ENA Cancellation Sunroad’s representatives, during their presentation to commissioners, acknowledged the right of both parties to cancel the ENA. The port’s cancellation of an ENA where the agreement’s other party did not miss any milestones could cause other developers to question or distrust the request for proposal process.

“The port tenants association and all other partners are watching this decision closely,” Uri Feldman, who spoke to commissioners on behalf of Sunroad, said.

Pursuing development plans at Harbor Island’s eastern end with another developer, Feldman said, would only delay the port district plans.

Commissioner Michael Zucchet, conversely, challenged Sunroad’s position, stating no progress has been made on the proposed development and two California Coastal Commission decisions went against the project.

“Sunroad is not a tenant on this parcel,” Zucchet said. “They responded to an open RFP, along with others. This has nothing to do with anything that they do anywhere else on the port. I personally think a reset is in order.”

The port district and Coastal Commission are currently engaged in a lawsuit over this matter.

Commissioner Robert Valderrama, however, echoed Sunroad’s concerns, specifically questioning what a cancelled ENA would mean for all future port district projects. The port district, according to its staff, does not have a precedent of cancelling ENAs. Port district staff confirmed Sunroad did not miss any of its requested milestones, further complicating the case for cancellation, Valderrama said.

“We’re going to be terminating an ENA when the tenant has not done anything wrong [or] has not missed any of their obligations. It looks like an arbitrary decision we would be making, which sets a bad precedent,” Valderrama said. “What’s the value of having a contractual relationship with somebody if it could be pulled out from under your feet at any given time, and you didn’t do anything wrong. We’re penalizing a tenant in good standing who hasn’t done anything wrong.”

Commissioner Ann Moore disagreed, stating she was “personally frustrated” with the project moving slower than molasses.

“One of the primary premises that we entered into this ENA was this idea that we would get development in short order,” Moore told her colleagues on the dais.

She also questioned the updated Sunroad proposal, in terms of whether it was consistent with the Port Master Plan.

Canceling an ENA would be doing a whole lot more than hitting the pause button, Commissioner Dan Malcolm stated in response to port district staff’s recommendation of resetting the project’s clock. “[Port district staff said] it makes sense to hit the pause button here. This is a lot more than hitting the pause button,” Malcolm said. “When you have a staff recommendation to, basically, cancel a three-year process that results in an ENA … that’s a lot more than hitting a pause button.”

See HARBOR ISLAND page 15

Harbor Island From page 14

Moore retorted the board actually made a mistake in approving the project in the first place. She said she, in 2016, envisioned Harbor Island’s entire eastern finger being developed. Sunroad’s initial presentation, made roughly two years ago, convinced her Sunroad and Oliver McMillan were redeveloping the area together but in separate projects would achieve such a vision. Now she’s unclear whether her original vision would be achieved at all.

Attorneys for the port district stated either party could cancel an ENA, which is scheduled to end in September.

Communication of Priorities Randa Coniglio, the port district’s president and CEO, told board members they might not be relaying their priorities about the Harbor Island project.

“The biggest issue for us, as we’ve been struggling with this over the last few months, is a lack of a good understanding of exactly what the board’s … priority objectives are related to this development,” Coniglio said.

Throughout the deliberation it became clear the port’s commissioners searched for the quickest route possible for development to occur.

Commissioners struggled, however, to determine what, exactly, would constitute the quickest possible route to development.

“This is chaotic and confusing,” Commissioner Marshall Merrifield said.

POSD Embarcadero From page 9

Marshal Merrifield said he could not support.

The San Diego Chamber of Commerce and Downtown San Diego Partnership, conversely, hailed the 1HWY1 project as a win for the city.

Downtown San Diego Partnership’s Daniel Reeves challenged some of Raffesberger’s contentions, stating the city’s commercial core actually does have a need for an urban beach.

“As a downtowner myself, I can express the need for a beach in our downtown area,” Reeves told commissioners. “An urban beach would be, quite frankly, one of the best things to happen to downtown, from both a visitor and resident perspective.”

Others stated the Seaport Village redevelopment would, once completed, make San Diego a world-class destination.

Commissioner Input Commissioner Dan Malcolm also supported the project’s urban beach element, stating it serves as Downtown San Diego’s entryway to the bay and harbor.

“I think that the downtown residents and the people who live close to this site deserve an urban beach to activate San Diego Bay,” Malcolm said. “Our job as port commissioners is to activate the bay and the tidelands. Having an urban beach right downtown and on San Diego Bay is fundamental to who the port is

“We have an ENA. We have a project underway. Maybe we just forge ahead with that.”

Zucchet, conversely, said he cares about selecting the right project, not the fastest one. The Harbor Island redevelopment would take several years regardless of which path commissioners selected, he said.

“It’s going to take years no matter what happens today,” Zucchet told his colleagues. “It’s a question of whether it’s some years [or] many years. We’re years away and I’d like to get it right.”

Malcolm said the time for contemplating and planning is over – the port district has an ENA, entitlements, a developer and a supportive market, hence the time to strike is now.

“Right now we have an opportunity to strike in the market,” Malcolm said.

“There’s a time to plan and there’s a time to build. We’ve done a lot of planning to get to this point. We are at the time to build.”

The disagreement on a charted course is exactly why the commission needed to reset the project, Moore told her colleagues.

“This discussion we had shows what an incredible mess we have on our hands,” Moore said. “I’m not necessarily saying I want to have the fastest project.

I want to have the best project. We only have one opportunity to build our bayfront the way we want it.”

Merrifield, Moore and Zucchet voted in favor of terminating the ENA, while Bonelli, Malcolm and Valderrama supported a contractual amendment.

and what we do.”

Malcolm also said 1HWY1 - and any other waterfront developer, for that matter - should think about and plan for increased boater access.

“We need to start thinking about [water mobility] in our planning,” Malcolm said. “Much like the Brigantine, there is going to be a requirement … to have areas where people can park their boat. Maybe it’s a parking spot with a meter. I understand docks aren’t free, they’re expensive, but places where you can park boats.”

Gaffen, in reply, stated his company is looking into various models of how to provide ferries, water taxis and boat parking.

Commissioner Michael Zucchet, meanwhile, acknowledged 1HWY and port district staff for providing an update on the Seaport Village p1roject, stating changes to redevelopments such as this one often evolve over time.

“There’s nothing particularly surprising about an evolution in a project like this, and, generally speaking, it’s a good thing,” Zucchet said, stating changes are to be expected as developers conduct due diligence.

Zucchet also asked if 1HWY1 and the Grand Manchester Hyatt could work together and find some sort of middle ground solution.

Garry J. Bonelli, port commission vice chair, said San Diego’s central business district – which is adjacent to the Seaport Village area – would soon add 40,000 to 50,000 new residents.

Attendees of two public workshops discuss plans and prepare to move forward with more detailed proposals.

By Devon Warren REDONDO BEACH — As many boaters would say, what’s the use in having a boat if you can’t get it out on the water?

That’s where a standard boat launching facility on the waterfront comes in handy.

The city of Redondo Beach – a unique destination for on-water activity as it is one of the only waterfront cities in California with a beachfront, marina and pier – held two public workshops, on Feb. 28 and March 10, to discuss and receive feedback on where a boat launch ramp should be located in King Harbor. Here’s just a dip into a few topics that were discussed.

•

•

Measure C Compliance In March 2017, Measure C, an initiative seeking to limit coastal development especially in the King Harbor area, passed with a majority vote of 57 percent. CenterCal, the developer tabbed to redevelop the Redondo Beach waterfront, filed a lawsuit in state and federal court, in response.

While the outcome of the lawsuit could alter plans in the future, the city is moving forward with the direction provided by Measure C. From a presentation given at the Feb. 28 meeting, there are a lengthy number of requirements that must be met to satisfy Measure C requirements, those being: • The boat ramp must have a minimum of two lanes to avoid “clustering” on the water.

• To address overcrowded parking, a minimum of double-length boat trailer and vehicle parking spaces per lane must be available within 500 feet of the ramps or adjacent to them. Additionally, parking

spaces must measure at least 40 feet long with at least 10 percent being 55 feet long; no more than 25 percent of the parking spaces should measure more than 55 feet.

Design concepts for the ramps, parking and routes for vehicle access must conform to guidelines in accordance with the California Division of Boating and Waterways and American Association of Highway and Transportation Officials.

Boat slip numbers The new boat ramp planned for King Harbor must include a certain number of parking spaces nearby and will likely be modeled with two lanes to avoid “clustering” on the water. that were available since Jan. 2, 2016 will not diminish in numbers.

Ramp Locations Under Consideration Moles A & B Moles A and B were previously cited as not being compliant with Measure C, with some raising the question of whether these locations were safe for boaters or harbor patrol.

Plans as is were discussed with alternative plans including a two-lane ramps envisioned for Mole A and B, concluding major issues. The Coastal Commission also determined there were “substantial issues” with a previous proposal for Mole B.

In the coming months, another workshop could be slated to present more refined plans for the boat ramp at King Harbor. City staff and the chosen engineering consultant are likely to be present at this workshop to further analyze and deliberate on what plans and location would best suit the layout.

The Log attempted to reach Council members Nils Nehrenheim and Christian Horvath, but they were unavailable for comment prior to press time.

All presentations and renderings of the Mole locations and planning are available at Redondo.org.

Dock Lines With Capt. Nicole

Faux Pas: Avoid these boating errors Story and photo by Capt. Nicole Sours Larson

boaters stranded because they untied their lines before discovering their engine(s) wouldn’t start; they’d already drifted out of their slips and had no power to return.

By the opposite token, don’t forget to release ALL your lines before powering up to leave your slip. I’ve seen cleats ripped from boats and docks because of too-hasty departures and forgotten lines.

Remember, boats move, even at the dock, creating risks for injuries and accidents. Make sure your family and guests understand the old maritime rule to keep one hand to steady yourself and know what and where to grip safely.

We’ve always enjoyed the wave action while anchoring out. But sudden boat wakes, including at marinas located on busy channels, can cause problems.

We’ve often had to grab dishes and glasses to keep them from flying or sliding. To avoid food spills we learned to use non-skid mats under serving bowls, trays with galleries and special plates equipped with wine glass holders.

Sometimes we’ve even held our wine glasses with our toes. And for cooking on board consider using pot restraints

SAN DIEGO — As boaters we usually gain knowledge from family, friends or professional instructors. As we continue boating, we soon learn from our own experiences – including occasional mishaps.

Two of my more memorable lessons fall into that category. When Arv and I fueled prior to returning home from our Chesapeake Bay honeymoon, I stupidly wrapped a line around my hand to manhandle our heavy old Hatteras. Suddenly the wind picked up and pulled the line so tight I couldn’t release it. Fortunately the fuel dock attendant saw what happened and quickly loosened the line, allowing me to free my hand and save my fingers. My hand hurt for months, but I’ve never repeated that mistake.

To prevent falls make sure you have adequate grab-rails on your boat – and use them. Twice I slipped and missed a stair while on our boat, tearing up my knees and requiring surgery. Now I’m extra-careful to use handholds while moving around the boat.

Frequently I see both kids and adults with their legs hanging over the sides of underway boats, especially at the bow. That may seem like harmless fun, but it can turn tragic if a heavy wake hits the hull or someone’s leg or arm gets pressed between the boat and a piling or dock.

Billionaire’s legal pursuit could challenge California’s guarantee to coastal access.

By Parimal M. Rohit STATEWIDE — Come to California for its beaches, they said. You can surf the waves, wade in the waters or lie on the sand anytime you want, they said.

California, for decades, has championed the public’s right to access its coastline and waterways. A Silicon Valley billionaire, according to a brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court, has challenged the coastal access guarantee, claiming California’s policy violates private property rights.

The way the highest court in the land handles this case will directly affect access up and down the state.

Anglers, boaters, personal watercraft users and others could continue to access waterways as a matter of right.

Or private interests could be allowed to purchase prime waterfront properties and regulate who can or cannot access the water.

Such stakes are at the center of a last-ditched effort of a billionaire property owner in Northern California seeking to preserve his property rights.

Vinod Khosla and Martins Beach Sun Microsystems founder Vinod Khosla filed, through his attorneys, a 151-page brief with the Supreme Court in late February, claiming he should not be required to guarantee public access to a beach adjacent to a property he owns at Martins Beach in San Mateo County.

The Supreme Court has not yet decided whether it would hear the case, but the nation’s highest judiciary will determine whether California, through its Coastal Act, can regulate private ownership of beachfront properties to guarantee public access.

Khosla, who is reportedly worth $1.5 billion, has been embroiled in a legal battle with California for a few years now. At issue is whether Khosla should be required to grant public access to a local beach, via a pathway, adjacent to his property. The billionaire’s attempt to keep the pathway’s front gates locked was challenged by the California Coastal Commission. Khosla could not lock the pathway’s entry without a permit, the state agency, relying on the Coastal Act, demanded.

An appeals court, in August 2017, ruled against Khosla, stating he violated the California Coastal Act by locking a path to the beach. The ruling set the stage for Khosla to file his petition with the Supreme Court.

The Deeney family owned Martins Beach’s waterfront property for about a century and, according to the petition, allowed the public to access the shore-

line during certain hours and for a fee.

“After paying the fee set by the Deeneys, patrons could use the private road to enter the Deeneys’ property, park in the parking lot the Deeneys built and maintained, and use the beach and other amenities the Deeneys built and maintained, including restrooms and a small convenience store,” attorneys for Khosla explained in the Supreme Court petition. “To deter people from enjoying their private property without paying the fee, the Deeneys Martins Beach in San Mateo County has been at the center of a heated battle between billionaire Vinod Khosla and the California Coastal Commission. Khosla has filed to have his grievances heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. The case will maintained ‘no trespassing’ determine whether California’s coastal access guarantee will remain intact. signs on their gate, which they opened and closed at their discretion.” rights.

Mateo had other ideas.

By Devon Warren SACRAMENTO — State Sen. Patricia Bates, R–Laguna Niguel, presented local resident and Dana Wharf Sportfishing & Whale Watching general manager, Donna Kalez, with Woman of the Year for the 36th Senate District; the award was presented at the State Capitol in Sacramento.

Kalez was honored with the award for her exemplary efforts in promoting environmentally responsible sportfishing and whale watching. Bates also cited Kalez’s efforts in making California a better place to live.

“Getting this award is really special. My family has worked so hard to make a business in Dana Point. Dana Wharf Sportfishing & Whale Watching began as the first business in 1971 and [we opened Oceanside Adventures] in 2015,” Kalez told The Log via email.“My father Don Hansen, our founder,

has won just about every single award in the community you could think of — he truly has given back so much and he is who I have always looked up to.

“I am so honored to get the award and so happy to be recognized as a woman, business owner and leader,” Kalez continued.

Born and raised in San Clemente, Kalez and Dana Wharf have done much to promote passion and protection for the coastal communities near her home base. Kalez has hosted several free community activities such as Halloween Kids Boo Cruises, Santa Boat Rides and more, and she has shown support for many non-profit organizations that back veterans, military families, children, seniors and those with special needs.

The Woman of the Year award has been presented annually for more than 30 years and was first conceptualized to commemorate Women’s History Month.

A group of seafaring explorers stocked up for their planned record-breaking sailing excursion at a beloved Newport Beach sailing supply store.

By Devon Warren

NEWPORT BEACH — Newport Beach’s Minney’s Yacht Surplus, considered to be royalty within the local boating supply scene, hosted a very special guest leading into the weekend of March 9 – a crewmember from a ragtag group of modern sailors known as the Sea Gypsies.

The Sea Gypsies are a sailing community who navigate the world aboard their vessel, Infinity. Collectively they make up Infinity Expedition and have sailed the seas since 2004. Infinity Expedition, as it turns out, is embarking on one of its most daring expeditions yet: As you read these words, the Sea Gypsies are attempting to sail farther north than any ship in recorded history.

A white, snow-capped no-man’s land, the Sea Gypsies will battle Mother Nature’s natural elements as they foray into a mostly unexplored territory through the Northern Pass. Such an endeavor would certainly qualify as a trip even the most experienced sailors and rugged outdoorsmen would not endeavor lightly. However, with Capt.

Clemens Oestreich at the helm, the Sea Gypsies are determined to break the sailing record. Oestreich is a European native and an experienced sailor.

Ernie Minney, the owner and founder of Minney’s Yacht Supply, told The Log Infinity Expedition purchased “thousands of dollars” worth of inventory to stock up for the planned northern excursion. A crewmember named

Grace camped out on his premises for about four days, Minney added.

Minney had the chance to interview Grace and posted a video of the conversation online. The video can be found on YouTube or the blog section of Minney’s Yacht Surplus official website.

In the video, Minney narrates as he records Grace packing up boxes and boxes of supplies said to be leaving in a container from Long Beach and shipped to the Marshall Islands.

Infinity is crewed by a close-knit family of 20, including children. The Infinity website features a section dedicated to the crew, providing personal background and explaining the quirkier parts of their character.

Infinity’s crew is not exclusive. The bravest explorers could also join the crew in a work-trade agreement. The one-time membership costs 1,200 Euros. A meal plan, which includes basic vegan fare, costs 20 Euros a day.

Fuel for the ship is also included in the daily costs.

The Log was able to contact Oestreich despite Infinity currently navigating in regions not as easily accessible by phone or email.

Oestreich said when Infinity Expedition launched in 2004 in San Diego a friend recommended he give Minney’s a try.

“We’ve been shopping at Minney’s for around a dozen years now,” Oestreich stated. “This time we bought used sails, winch handles, several large blocks, a hydraulic motor that will power our anchor winch, a spare dripless bearing for the engine shaft, a hatch and plenty of rope. Minney also allowed us to use their yard for a mad, last-minute shopping spree that we did in southern LA for specific boat parts and food. Our crewmember Grace actually camped in Minney’s backyard for four days.”

Crew members in full foul weather gear manually raise the sails aboard Infinity as she faces a patch of rough weather.

The purchased provisions will join the Infinity crew at the Marshall Islands, where the Sea Gypsies will then turn north and head toward the Arctic.

“Everything we bought in California is being shipped to Majuro in the Marshall Islands from where we begin our next expedition and film,” Oestreich said. “The upcoming voyage will take us to Dutch Harbour, Alaska first and then from west to east through the Northwest Passage to Greenland and as far north as a sailing ship can sail. We hope to break a sailing north world record, which due to globalwarming-related ice melts in the Arctic may be possible.”

In a culmination of a bold and fearless journey, Oestreich hopes Infinity Expedition will be able to stage a special event.

“We will also stage an event on the northern ice cap aiming to inspire people to change for a sustainable common future on our communal spaceship, Earth,” Oestreich continued.

The local boating legends at Minney’s Yacht Surplus wish the Sea Gypsies well on their next epic adventure after doing their part to ensure

they are looted up for the upcoming months traversing up towards the northern caps of the earth. For those who crave nautical voyages beyond the typical, those of Infinity Expedition are hard-pressed to be beaten.

The Infinity Expedition crew, coincidentally, made an award-winning documentary about their nautical adventures, sailing through some of the most tumultuous waters in the world on a mission “to pursue profound personal change, striving for sustainability, inner peace and love.”

The trailer for the film, “Sea Gypsies — The Far Side of the World,” can be viewed on their website. Minney, who mentions he is a fan in his YouTube video with Grace, stated he owns and watches the film regularly.

Catalina Connection

By Devon Warren

tion stonecutter born in Quincy, Massachusetts to Scottish parents, was responsible for managing the Wrigleyowned concessions at the Isthmus from 1920. Bill White’s book, “Santa Catalina Island, It’s Magic, People, and History,” recorded the Greig Family’s part in the expansion of the Isthmus.

Wilson and her husband enjoyed traveling, hitting destinations like Scotland, Mexico, Africa and more, and were avid golfers shown by their long-standing membership at Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach.

Membership Director of the club, Renee Ord, mentioned Wilson was often seen with a group of ladies who were her close friends and that she is very missed by all. Most comment on Wilson’s fun-loving spirit — a part of her personality that has left a great impression on those who came in contact with her.

Wilson is survived by her sisterin-law Mary Grieg; best friend Ruth

GARDEN GROVE — Helen (Greig) Wilson, believed to be the first nonnative born on the Catalina Isthmus (now known as Two Harbors) died on Feb. 20. She was 96 Wilson was known for being, in the words of her niece Kristina Fortier, “a very fun-loving, world-traveled, wonderful” woman. She passed away in Garden Grove and, according to her family, lived an incredible life full of adventure, travel and golfing.

Born to Bill Greig and Frances (Vincon) Greig, Wilson was raised on Catalina Island, completing her high school education in 1940 and meeting her husband, John Wilson, a native of Los Angeles, shortly afterwards in October of that year. Helen, who worked at Casino Theatre, met John there. They were married for 57 years until John’s death in 1997.

This year’s Newport to Ensenada Race will have company, as the competition’s organizing body added Border Run Race (Newport Beach to San Diego) and Border Run Sprint (Newport Beach to Dana Point) to the schedule. All three races begin April 27.

Newport To Ensenada Race updated for 2018 NOSA’s recent acquisitions of Border Run Race and Border Run Sprint should enhance popular O.C.-to-Mexico competition.

By Parimal M. Rohit

NEWPORT BEACH — “Choice” is the theme of this year’s Newport To Ensenada International Yacht Race, as participating sailors can chose from one of three competitions to enter in the Orange County-to-Mexico competition.

The Newport To Ensenada Race

kicks off on April 27, this year. Two other races will start on the same day: Border Run Race and Border Run Sprint.

Sailors can decide which one of the three races to participate in, with the Border Run Race ending in San Diego and Border Run Sprint finishing in Dana Point.

All three races begin in Newport Beach; the Newport To Ensenada Race runs from April 27-29, while Border Run to San Diego takes place April 27 and 28.

The Newport Ocean Sailing Association, or NOSA, purchased both Border Run events in 2017 and decided to run all three races – Newport To

Ensenada, Border Run Race and Border Run Sprint – at the same time.

NOSA itself was formed in 1947 and launched its first race – the Governor’s Cup – shortly thereafter. Sailors arrived at Newport Harbor Yacht Club on April 23, 1948 to participate in the Governor’s Cup, which would navigate from Newport Beach to Ensenada.

There were 117 boats in this firstever race, with the registration fee set at $22.50. Only 65 boats completed the 125-nautical-mile contest, according to NOSA. The Governor’s Cup was renamed Newport To Ensenada International Yacht Race, or N2E, in 1949.

Those competing in the Border

Run Sprint to Dana Point will start and finish on April 27.

Newport To Ensenada competitors are expected to arrive at Hotel Coral and Marina by late afternoon on April 28. A trophy presentation will take place at Hotel Coral and Marina, April 29 at 2 p.m.

A bus will transport some people from Ensenada back to the United States; the bus ride os $50 per person and leaves at 5 p.m. on April 29 from Hotel Coral and Marina.

NOSA will host a “Saturday Night Fiesta” event at Hotel Coral and Marina, 6 p.m. to midnight on April 28.

Contact NOSA at info@nosa.org or 949-644-1023 for more information.

UC Irvine will use donation to travel to regatta in Georgia.

By Parimal M. Rohit

NEWPORT BEACH — The UC Irvine men’s and women’s crew teams will head to a championship regatta in Georgia later this spring, thanks to a generous donation made by Dr. Henry T. Nicholas III after the UC Challenge Cup Regatta in Newport Beach, March 3.

Nicholas granted the crew team about $40,000 after a post-regatta fundraiser fell short of raising enough money for the collegiate rowers cover costs associated with the competition in Georgia.

The fundraiser held after the March 3 UC Challenge Cup Regatta raised about $4,000 through a luncheon and silent

auction. UCI’s crew team, however, needed to raise $45,000 to send their boats and competitors to the American Collegiate Rowing Association National Championship Regatta, which is held in May 26-27 in Gainesville, Georgia.

Nicholas’s donation filled the gap.

“Crew is a sport that gets very little glory, but requires tremendous commitment, heart and character,” Nicholas said after the lunch ceremony. “I like to support unsung heroes who succeed through hard work, discipline and teamwork, and we saw all of those qualities at today’s Regatta. I am extremely proud of all of the superb scholar-athletes who competed and gave it their all, and I am especially proud of the UCI crew teams.

They deserve to go to Nationals and compete with the best.”

The Broadcom co-founder and longtime supporter of UCI crew donated more than $1 million to the program so

far. The Challenge Cup Regatta is also backed

by Nicholas and features crew teams from the various University of California campuses competing against each other.

Five University of California schools participated in this year’s regatta: UCI, UCLA, UC Dr. Henry T. Nicholas III, co-founder of Broadcom and a major supporter of the UCI Crew program, presents winning trophy to the UC Santa Barbara, UC San Santa Barbara crew team, which came in first against four other teams Diego and UC Davis.

Southern California fishing news

Report: West Coast’s ocean conditions “normal” again Effects of extreme heat wave no longer affecting California ecosystem, though salmon catches still lag, according to NOAA.

By Parimal M. Rohit

ROHNERT PARK — Most of the residual effects of El Niño and “The Blob” on the Pacific Ocean have waned, according to a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) report, released in early March. West Coast salmon catches, however, remains at below average conditions.

The “extreme marine heat wave” occurring between 2014 and 2016 off the California coast has effectively subsided, meaning the Pacific Ocean essentially returned to “average” conditions, according to NOAA officials.

“Ocean conditions off most of the U.S. West Coast are returning roughly to average, after an extreme marine heat wave from about 2014 to 2016 disrupted the California Current Ecosystem and shifted many species beyond their traditional range,” the NOAA Fisheries report stated. “Some warm waters remain off the Pacific Northwest, however.”

Two of NOAA Fisheries’ West Coast marine laboratories – Southwest Fisheries Science Center and Northwest Fisheries Science – published the report as part of their annual “California Current Ecosystem Status Report.” The report was made at the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) meeting in Rohnert Park on March 9.

“The report gives us an important glimpse at what the science is saying about the species and resources that we manage and rely on in terms of our West Coast economy,” PFMC Chair Phil Anderson said in a released statement.

“The point is that we want to be as informed as we can be when we make decisions that affect those species, and this report helps us do that.”

NOAA’s report stated the Pacific Ocean experienced warming water temperatures in 2014, when a phenomenon referred to as “The Blob” began. Warming conditions continued

into 2015, courtesy of an unusually strong El Niño season, according to the NOAA report.

Improving ocean conditions means California sea lions and seabirds, which NOAA said experienced “mass die-offs” during the height of the most recent El Niño, will have improved feeding conditions.

The California Current ecosystem has returned to average conditions “Plankton species, the and no longer suffering from the effects of “The Blob” or El Niño, foundation of the marine according to NOAA. food web, have shifted back slightly toward fat-rich, cool-water Prospects of a drought in 2018 could species that improve the growth and prevent the West Coast’s salmon popusurvival of salmon and other fish,” the lations from recovering at a quicker rate, NOAA report stated. the report added.

“Reports of whale entanglements in fishing gear have remained very high for the fourth straight year, as whales followed prey to inshore areas and ran into fishing gear such as pots and traps,” NOAA officials stated.

The NOAA report focused on the California Current, which, according to federal officials, “encompasses the entire West Coast marine ecosystem.”

A report is released annually to inform PFMC members about the ecosystem’s conditions and trends, and how the current state of the current could affect marine species and fishing.

“NOAA Fisheries’ scientists compile the California Current Ecosystem Status Report from ocean surveys and other monitoring efforts along the West Coast,” federal officials stated. “The tracking revealed ‘a climate system still in transition in 2017,’ as surface ocean conditions return to near normal.

“Deeper water remained unusually warm, especially in the northern part of the California Current,” the NOAA statement continued. “Warm-water species, such as leaner plankton species often associated with subtropical waters, have lingered in these more-northern zones.”

Sacramento considering ban on lead fishing tackle First hearing on Assembly Bill 2787 is set for April 10.

By Parimal M. Rohit SACRAMENTO — California’s anglers are preparing for a showdown with state legislators as Assembly member Bill Quirk’s, D-Hayward, proposal to ban lead fishing tackle will earn its first crack at a legislative review.

Quirk’s Assembly Bill 2787 (AB 2787) will be heard in committee on April 10, the first stop for a controversial bill seeking to stop the manufacture, purchase or sale of specified fishing weights or sinkers.

Current law regulates the disposal of certain batteries, lead wheel weights and household hazardous waste. Violating the state’s hazardous waste control laws

is a crime. AB 2787, if signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, would make the use of lead fishing weights of 50 grams or lighter and a cross section of less than 2 centimeters in any direction a crime.

“This bill would, as part of the hazardous waste control laws, prohibit a person from manufacturing, selling, or purchasing a fishing AB 2787, if passed and signed into law, would ban the weight or sinker in California that has no cross section greater than or manufacture, purchase and sale of lead fishing tackle. equal to two centimeters in length, is under 50 grams in mass, and contains AB 2787 would model California’s more than 0.1 percent lead by weight,” lead fishing weight ban after similar language in AB 2787 stated. “The bill policies in Maine, Massachusetts, New would provide … that the alternaHampshire, New York and Vermont. tive remains subject to the evaluation Quirk added similar bans are also process specified in that law. Because in effect in Canada and the United the bill would create a new crime, it Kingdom. would impose a state-mandated local “Small lead fishing weights, like program.”

splitshot, are killing California wildlife,” Quirk said in a released statement.

“Many birds consume river gravel to aid in mashing and digesting food.

Often they accidentally ingest discarded lead fishing weights. The lead poisons their liver, leading to a slow death. Water fowl, in particular, are common victims.”

Angler groups, however, stated California’s fishing community has little to nothing in common with their counterparts in New England and the Northeast.

California Sportfishing League launched a campaign shortly after AB 2787 was introduced, urging anglers to petition members of the Assembly Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committee, which will review

the proposal, April 10.

One of California Sportfishing League’s talking points directly challenges Quirk’s legislative intent.

“While lead bans exist in some Northeastern states or other countries, wildlife [they] are not commonly found in California,” the petition’s talking point stated. “There is no evidence that lead fishing weights threaten California wildlife populations. Isolated incidences in California do not suggest a significant risk, or the justification for a statewide ban.”

Banning lead fishing weights would also increase angling costs and harm tax revenue, California Sportfishing League added.

Quirk chairs the Assembly Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committee.

The photo was shared on SDfish.com’s Facebook page and stated she made the haul while trout fishing. Roberts used PowerBait to make the catch. Her largemouth bass fell just shy of weighing in at 10 pounds – it tipped the scales at 9 pounds and 15 ounces. Meanwhile a record catch was made at El Capitan, where angler Bob Baker reportedly reeled in a 53.5-pound blue catfish on March 2. His catch eclipsed the 50.85-pound blue catfish record set in April 2015.

San Diego Report

By Bob Vanian

SAN DIEGO — Southern California anglers have had a relatively mild winter of weather but the past few weeks have seen some northern systems move through the area, which have given us a sampling of winter.

When those weather fronts have moved through they have kept most boats tied to the dock and anglers off the water. The good news is there have been some good days to be had between the weather systems, and those good days have provided a chance for anglers to get out on the water and enjoy some fishing. Biting species have included bluefin tuna, yellowtail, calico bass, sand bass, sculpin, rockfish and halibut.

Legend out of H&M Landing went out on an exploratory overnight trip on March 8 and had five anglers catch two bluefin tunas and limits of yellowtail (25). This catch was made while fishing around some of the offshore banks outside of Ensenada such as the 295 Bank. A stretch of good spring weather will likely see more boats out exploring offshore waters to see what might be out there and ready to bite.

Boats fishing the High Spot area down the Mexican coast outside of Punta Colnett have been doing well on reds and rockfish and usually been returning with limits. In addition to the reds and rockfish there has also been a chance at finding some bonus lingcod, yellowtail or bonito biting.

Old Glory, out of H&M Landing, ventured on a 1.5-day trip to Punta Colnett on March

17 and had 20 anglers catch limits of reds (100) and rock cod (100).

Yellowtail action in the Punta Colnett area has been hit or miss. The yellowtails in the area were mostly 15- to 25-pound fish and, once located, have been biting best on yo-yoed iron.

The fishing around Los Coronado Islands has been good for an assortment of reds and rockfish and there has also been a chance at finding some yellowtail action. The recent series of weather systems has made the yellowtail action more difficult to locate during the past couple of weeks – but there are still yellowtails to be found.

Liberty ran a full-day trip with 18 anglers, March 18, and caught 90 rockfish, 70 reds and one yellowtail. San Diego out of Seaforth Sportfishing fished around Los Coronado Islands on March 10 with 19 anglers on a fullday trip; they returned to shore with eight yellowtails, 95 whitefish and 50 rockfish.

The best bet for finding yellowtail around Los Coronado Islands has been looking for meter marks, sonar marks or spots of breaking fish in the region of the Rockpile.

Once located, yo-yo iron has worked the best for the yellowtail, which have also been biting on surface iron, flylined sardines and sardines fished on a dropper loop rig.

The best bottom fishing areas around Los Coronado Islands have been at hard bottom areas to the north and northwest of North Island. A good depth range while fishing the areas off North Island has been working in 40 to 50 fathoms of water.

zones has been at the lower end of the 9 Mile Bank while fishing on the Mexico side of the border.

Boats fishing along the San Diego County coast have also had to deal with the recent unsettled weather conditions and have spent some days when they would otherwise be fishing tied to the dock because of the weather. On the nice weather days it has been mostly calico bass, sand bass, rockfish and sculpin that have been biting to go with a chance at catching a bonus halibut or yellowtail.

The better areas for rockfish fishing in the San Diego region have been the Imperial Beach Pipeline, the International Reef, hard bottom spots outside of the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma, hard bottom areas outside of the Green Tank at Point Loma, the 270 out to the west of Mission Bay, La Jolla, Del Mar,

Leucadia and Box Canyon.

Productive areas for the bass and sculpin have been the Imperial Beach Pipeline, hard bottom areas to the north of the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma, hard bottom areas to the northwest of Buoy #3 at Point Loma, hard bottom areas outside of the Green Tank at Point Loma and hard bottom areas outside of La Jolla.

Best areas for a chance at a halibut in the Imperial Beach and Point Loma region has been at the sandy bottom patches outside of the Imperial Beach Pier and at the Point Loma Buoyline area. At the Point Loma Buoyline, take a look in the area ranging from inside of the Point Loma Lighthouse on in to where you are fishing around the bait receivers inside of Ballast Point.

Spring will have arrived by the time you read this report and hopefully we will see some improved weather conditions with the official arrival of the spring season. The good weather days have already been providing some unseasonably good fishing and a stretch of nice weather should do nothing but help in sparking some improved surface fishing. Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!

IN MEMORIAM: Jack Cole of Skipjack Yachts

Gary Graham photo

FLORIDA — Jack Cole, the founder of what became Skipjack Yachts, has reportedly died. Details of his death were not immediately available.

Skipjack Yachts posted a brief update of Cole’s death on its website, informing customers he passed away in Florida. Cole was hailed as “the original maverick and founder of Skipjack.”

“Although Jack retired from Skipjack some years ago, he and Nick Adams, current owner of Skipjack, became fast friends and have remained in touch over the years. It is a sad day for the entire Skipjack family,” the message, posted on Feb. 23, stated.

Cole started the Skipjack line of fishing boats in 1966, initially building a 20-foot Flybridge in Costa Mesa.

“He was the first boat builder to use full liners in small boats, build a flybridge on a 20-foot boat [and] use 1-inch steel rails on a 20-foot boat,” the Skipjack Yachts website stated about Cole.

Some considered the Skipjack 20 to the first trailer-able flybridge off the production line.

The Skipjack factory relocated to Anaheim in 1993 and then Oak Hills in 2003; a line of boats continue to be made by the company at its Victor Valley location, including 26-foot 262, 30-foot 300 and 38-foot 380.

Cole’s company had regularly established trends when it came to designing new fishing boats. Many of his boats have been on display at the Newport Boat Show.

His wife, Irene, and two sons, Jack Jr. and Jeff, survive Cole.

A memorial will be held in Cole’s honor on May 5; details of the memorial are not yet available but will be shared with the public as soon as they are finalized and announced.
