Costs for Marina del Rey redevelopment enterprise, which requires a few finishing touches, inches closer to $6 million.

By Parimal M. Rohit

MARINA DEL REY—The budget for a beach redevelopment project within Marina del Rey Harbor has grown ever so slightly – that is, if you consider an additional $200,000 a slight amount. Yet an additional $200,000 is exactly what the Marina Beach improvement project will receive, thanks to a budget amendment approved by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, April 9.

Marina Beach’s improvement project budget has ballooned to $5.78 million, up from $5.58 million. The additional $200,000 will come out of the county’s Services and Supplies Marina Accumulative Capital Outlay Fund.

Changes in store for Marina Beach, also known as Mother’s Beach, include upgraded restroom facilities, updated design and improved public beach access.

County officials also hope to improve circulation along the adjacent waterfront area.

“The project included refurbishing the existing restroom building with a more contemporary design, remov-

ing and replacing the covered group picnic shelters with similar contemporary structures, and constructing various site improvements to provide improved public beach access and circulation around the adjoining waterfront and promenade,” county staff specifically explained in a staff report to supervisors.

Supervisors approved the initial $5.58 million budget in August 2015. Construction on the improvement project began in September 2017, with group picnic shelters, parking lot upgrades and a refurbished restroom area all completed by June 2018.

County staff, however, pointed Improvements made at Marina del Rey’s Marina Beach near $6 million after a recent budget adjustment approved by the L.A. County Board of Supervisors.

Santa Barbara boasts progress with Clean Marina Program Water quality monitoring and pollution prevention are among the top goals of city’s ongoing eco-friendly work at the harbor.

SANTA BARBARA—The city of Santa Barbara continues to make progress in making its local harbor an eco-friendly waterfront. This was the message of a recent Clean Marina Program update, which was provided at the April 18 Santa Barbara Harbor Commission meeting.

Santa Barbara Harbor’s Clean Marina Program is comprised of six elements, according to Harbor Operations Manager Mick Kronman: facilities for boaters; water quality monitoring; best management practices; pollution prevention and abatement; education; and, compliance and enforcement.

Kronman discussed each element with commissioners, explaining how each category both promotes boating and maintains a sustainable harbor.

The harbor, for example, has five pump-out stations: three at Marina 1, one at the fuel dock and another at the boat launch ramp. Each station can handle 40-some pounds of pump-out per minute.

Santa Barbara’s Harbor Commission members were provided with a Clean Marina Program update on April 18. City staff told commissioners the program is making progress in water quality monitoring and pollution prevention.

All five stations were used for a total of 5,820 minutes in fiscal year 2018, slightly up from the previous two fiscal years. Pump-out use minutes have ranged from 5,218 (fiscal year 2015) to 9,011 (fiscal year 2006).

Kronman added Santa Barbara Harbor is also home to more than 40 debris nets, with 15 of those replaced and updated last year.

All 40 nets could be updated and replaced within the next few years.

Kronman said these nets are available for boaters to use, not harbor personnel.

There are also three waste oil removal stations in the harbor, which boaters can use for antifreeze, bilge pads, oil, oil filters other nonhazardous materials.

The harbor also has programs on marine battery collection, fish line recycling, water quality monitoring, abandoned vessel abatement and anti-fouling paints.

Here are a few more statistics from Santa Barbara Harbor Commission’s Clean Marina Program, for fiscal year 2018: • 5,700 gallons of waste oil disposed

• 150 batteries recycled • 35 of disposed fishing line (pier and offshore combined) • 15,000 oil absorbent pads distributed • 18 bird rescues and recoveries • 30 marine mammal rescues • 11 surrendered boats recovered • 2 abandoned boats recovered.

Harbor staff also continues to conduct dye-tabbing tests to monitor for discharge violations, Kronman added.

The harbor conducted 584 dye-tabbing inspections in fiscal year 2018 (down from 682 in fiscal year 2017); zero citations were issued in the four of the past five fiscal years, according to data published by harbor staff. The only fiscal year where discharge violation citations were issued was in FY 2015; three citations were issued that year.

The Clean Marina Program, according to Kronman, has helped city officials manage Santa Barbara Harbor in the most environmentally appropriate manner possible.

“If you don’t have this green marina certification [from the state], it’s like a [poor] Yelp review,” Kronman said.

“People pay attention to this when they’re going to visit harbors up and down the coast.”

Kronman added the adjusted cost for the Clean Marina Program, which has been in effect since 2002, was less than $20,000 for fiscal year 2018.

U.S. Navy’s history of training marine mammals for service purposes 2C FOUNTAIN VALLEY—A beluga whale has showed up in bizarre headlines across the nation for its connection to Russia and also for its kindness — the whale recently, off Norway’s coast, retrieved a mobile phone for a woman who had dropped it into the ocean. As alarming, inhumane and shocked as it may seem, there’s an even more unusual thread that ties this in with military marine animals: The United States also uses these creatures for service purposes.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—Reminiscing on my favorite cartoons as a child I have to wonder: Could Orange or Ventura counties borrow from ‘The Jetsons’ and hire either Cogswell Cogs or Spacely Space Sprockets to expedite the slow-moving harbor redevelopment projects at Dana Point and Oxnard? My imagination is certainly getting the best of me here – not only are Cogswell and Spacely fictional companies there

is also no way Dana Point and Channel Islands harbors would be constructed in a matter of seconds or minutes, as if we’re literally living in episodes of ‘The Jetsons.’

We’re definitely not in a position where we could build heavy infrastructure (harbors, buildings, roads, etc.) at the blink of an eye, but what if city and county governments imposed strict time limits on construction projects? The city of Newport Beach, for example, is looking to impose time limits on certain construction projects. Any one-unit or two-unit dwellings (not part of a tract development) would have to be completed within three years, according to the Newport Beach policy.

The nature of Newport Beach’s construction time restriction is taken into account here.

Morro Bay’s once thriving fishing industry

By Parimal M. Rohit MORRO BAY—California’s coastline is ripe with stories of a rich fishing past, be it the tuna fishery in San Diego … or the albacore, salmon and sardine fisheries of Morro Bay. The first commercial fishery to arrive in Morro Bay – abalone – was in the early 1900s. Within three decades the Central California coastal town known for its large rock was home to several commercial fisheries: abalone, groundfish, salmon and sardine. Morro Bay, at around the same time, was also home to an active Commercial Passenger Fishing Vessel fleet.

The city’s position as a thriving center for commercial fishing took a leap forward in the 1960s and 1970s, thanks to a creation of a 200-mile Economic Exclusive Zone, or EEZ, in the area.

“Morro Bay [thanks to the EEZ] had become a vibrant and productive fishing port, led primarily by the trawl fleet,” members of Morro Bay’s city staff said in a 2014 presentation on the city’s history with commercial fisheries.“This vibrancy was complemented by on-shore industry including fish processing, offloading facilities, ice production, seafood buyers, and fuel facilities. Along with the establishment of critical physical infrastructure was a formalization of the social infrastructure.”

Things cooled in the 1990s, when increased

regulatory oversight, shifts in consumer preferences and the availability of inexpensive foreign imports contributed to the decline of Morro Bay’s commercial fishing industry.

“Total ex-vessel value (EVV) or earnings at the dock fell from approximately $8.5 million in 1990 to $1.9 million in 2007,” Morro Bay city staff stated in its 2014 presentation.

A remnant of the once thriving commercial fishing industry is the Morro Bay Commercial Fisherman’s Organization, which was found in 1974. More than 100 people were members of the organization, as of 2014.

“The Morro Bay fishing community has maintained a strong sense of social cohesion, self organization and leadership, as evidenced by the formation of the Morro Bay Commercial Fisherman’s Organization in 1974,” city staff told Morro Bay City Council members in 2014.“Social cohesion is also evidenced by the fishing industry’s strong relationships with city of Morro Bay staff and civic leaders, the aquaculture industry, local merchants, and with the Commercial Passenger Fishing Vessel fleet, skippers and deckhands switching back and forth.”

City staff also acknowledged the local fishing industry for being inclusive.

What Happened: A war of words between community groups and the local governments is playing out on the pages of Ventura County Star, as Ventura County Harbor Director Mark Sandoval penned an op-ed on May 6, in response to an April 7 letter submitted to the same publication by a member of the Harbor and Beach Community Alliance (HBCA). Both op-ed letters addressed the ongoing planning of Channel Island Harbor’s revitalization.

Sandoval said he wrote the op-ed to address allegations made in the April 6 letter and later during a public meeting about Fisherman’s Wharf.

“The [HBCA] column states the county is delaying the Hyatt Hotel project and Whale’s Tail restaurant replacement in deference to an ‘apartment developer’s projects,’ an allegation that is simply untrue,” Sandoval wrote. “The Harbor Department is working to facilitate three construction projects on the peninsula, which requires a great deal of coordination.”

The harbor director added county officials are working on a rock revetment project, marina, and demolition and construction of a new hotel, all at once.

Sandoval reiterated the county is making progress on bringing the Channel Islands Harbor redevelopment online, which has been in the works for more than a decade.

“We anticipate the Casa Sirena to begin the four-month demolition process in October. In addition, we have been working closely with the owner of Fresco’s, and anticipate that refurbishment of the old Whale’s Tail will also be moving forward in a few months,” Sandoval said.

He added the Fisherman’s Wharf project is currently making its way through the city of Oxnard’s planning process.

HBCA’s Debbie Mitchel, in her April 6 op-ed, accused Ventura County of foul play.

“Ventura County owns the harbor land and has shamefully allowed many of the moderately priced visitor-serving facilities, including Fisherman’s Wharf, the Casa Sirena Hotel on Peninsula Road and the Whale’s Tail restaurant on Harbor Boulevard, to deteriorate,” she wrote.

“The community believes the county has a hidden motive for holding up the hotel project,” she continued later in her letter. “It is apparent the county is more concerned about the apartment developer’s “undetermined project” on Peninsula Road than the public-supported and Coastal Commission-approved hotel, restaurant and marina.”

He also pushed back on those who claimed the harbor’s new buildings would be too large and out of scale.

“There is an argument that the mass and height of the residential buildings would ruin the harbor,” Sandoval said.

“There are currently residential buildings in the harbor as tall as this residential development and over three times as long as this residential development. In addi-

Ventura Harbor set for dock improvement project Upgrades to marina area will allow for increased commercial activity.

VENTURA—Boaters along the southern edge of California’s Central Coast should be prepared to see a few major changes during the next few weeks and months, as Ventura Port District is moving forward with a multi-million dollar upgrade of the docks at Ventura Harbor Village Marina.

Port district staff announced work on the Ventura Harbor Village Marina Dock Improvement Project would begin in mid-May, allowing the harbor to expand its commercial fishing operations. The anticipated budget is $4.5 million, with upgrades being made to utilities and infrastructure of the dock systems.

Ventura Harbor also has a large recreational boating presence, meaning boaters, anglers, commercial fishermen and other watercraft users will have to work a little harder to maintain a fluid co-existence. The harbor is also one of the largest markets for California squid.

“The new dock systems will accommodate the harbor’s ever-expanding fleet of commercial vessels,” port district staff stated.

Ventura’s port district will be managing a $4.5 million overhaul of its commercial docks. The upgrades would allow the port district, which also serves recreational boaters, to expand its commercial fishery operations. Commercial fishermen reportedly unloaded 27 tons of fish, which created $31 million in economic activity, in 2017.

Dock Improvement Project and Fish Pier The port district’s announcement of the dock improvement project comes on the heels of improvements made at the local Fish Pier. Ventura Port District specifically spent $500,000 on resurfacing the Fish Pier, among other improvements; the pier, according to port district staff, is an “essential offloading facility for large and small commercial fishermen.”

An estimated 27 tons of fish were offloaded at the Fish Pier in 2017, according to port district staff. The offloaded fish yielded an economic activity of $31 million, port district staff added. California market squid accounted for a majority of the fishing activity at Ventura Harbor.

“Commercial fishing is vital to the local economy. In April, the Ventura Port District invested $500,000 into the resurfacing of the Fish Pier and other improvements of the essential offloading facility for large and small commercial fishermen,” port district staff stated. “Next, an extensive Ventura Harbor Village Marina Dock Improvement Project will increase the availability of larger slips.”

Ventura Harbor Village Marina manager Dave Werneburg added the upgraded infrastructure would also support the port district’s new aquaculture endeavor, Shellfish Enterprises.

The aquaculture initiative would bring offshore mussel farms to Ventura Harbor.

Port district staff anticipates completing the dock improvement project

by September.

Completing upgrades of the Fish Pier and commercial docks, port district staff stated, are consistent with the agency’s goal of “positioning the harbor marina as a world-class commercial harbor.”

Other infrastructure improvements call for the replacement of “environmentally unfriendly” foam dock floats and upgrades of electric pedestals at each slip. The foam dock floats would be replaced with concrete docks.

Ventura Harbor, according to port district staff, is “one of the most active commercial fishing ports between San Pedro and Morro Bay.” The port district balances multiple interests: boaters, fishermen, residents, visitors and other watercraft users. The small-craft harbor occupies 274 acres and serves several commercial and recreational uses; it is also home to the Channel Islands National Park.

History Lesson: Commercial and Recreational Interests Fishermen have been using the harbor regularly for nearly 50 years now, offloading a variety of species such as crab, halibut, lobster, prawn, sea bass and, of course, squid. The harbor’s marinas are also home to a large liveaboard population.

The harbor is owned and operated

by Ventura Port District, which the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) described as “an autonomous political subdivision of the state of California.”

A 1979 NOAA study of the harbors in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties revealed Ventura Port District intended to strike a balance between commercial and recreational interests.

“Plans are being made by the Port District to assure the accommodation of both recreational and commercial fishing vessels in the future development of this harbor,” NOAA staff stated in a 1979 analysis of Ventura Harbor.

Commercial fishing activities at Ventura Harbor were relatively light in the late 1970s. Plans were in place, however, to ramp up commercial fishing activities within the port district in the early 1980s.

“Until December of 1978, commercial fishing vessels did not use Ventura Harbor except on rare occasions due to a lack of berthing and commercial facilities. The harbor manager has recently provided 20 moorings for commercial fishing vessels and has set aside an area for transient berthing,” NOAA staff stated in its 1979 analysis of Ventura Harbor. “In January 1979, nine commercial fishing boats were regularly using the transient berthing and 34 fishermen with vessels ranging from 40 to 70 feet in length had requested moorings.”

Meetings were held in 1978 to

determine whether Ventura Harbor could be a destination for commercial fishing interests, and local administrators began working on a plan to give the port district the tools it needed to compete with other ports.

“Ventura Harbor has excellent potential to serve the needs of a developing commercial fishing industry. With the recent placement of new moorings for commercial fishing boats and additional space available for transient vessels, fishermen are now using the harbor and gaining experience with the entrance,” NOAA’s 1979 study of Ventura Harbor stated. “Growth of the industry in this harbor may be slow until larger ‘market fish’ buyers or processors establish operations in the Ventura area.

“With the exception of sea urchin, anchovy and squid processed in Oxnard, large amounts of fresh fish and shellfish must be shipped to Santa Barbara, Los Angeles or San Pedro for processing,” NOAA staff continued.

Ventura Harbor is not a natural port or harbor; its entrance must regularly be dredged in order to allow boats to go in and out. The harbor’s entrance experienced a major shoaling event in early 2016, severely limiting the commercial fishing fleet. Boaters were also limited, as they were not allowed to navigate in and out of the harbor.

Outteridge, an Olympic gold and silver medalist and an America’s Cup veteran, said a software issue meant that they were sailing blind around the course.

“As soon as something doesn’t work, it makes it very hard,” said Outteridge, who also is from Australia. “It’s like asking a race car driver to drive a car where the brakes aren’t working. The last race we lost the display software that tells us the time to the start, time to boundaries, shows a diagram of where you are on the course, so we raced the last race blind. Considering all that happened today, to still come second here and still pushing hard is great.

Yesterday was the highlight for our team so far.”

Britain won the first race on May 5 and finished third in the regatta, followed by the United States, France and China.

Australia leads the overall series with 93 points while Japan has 91. Britain is a distant third with 79, followed by the United States with 68, France 61 and China 60.

The next regatta is in New York on June 21-22, followed by stops in Cowes, England, and Marseille, France. The threeday Marseille regatta will conclude with a $1 million winner-take-all match race between the top two teams for the season championship.

U.S. Coast Guard’s flagship training vessel returned to homeport in Connecticut NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP)—The U.S. Coast

thelog.com

Guard’s flagship and cadet training vessel Eagle is returning to Connecticut.

The Day reports that the 295-foot barques will homeport in New London starting July 26 after a four-year, $29 million overhaul.

The ship’s homeport had shifted to Baltimore while it underwent work to extend its service life by 15 years. It was built in Germany in 1936.

The ship, when in port, is expected to be a feature of the National Coast Guard Museum planned for the New London waterfront.

Ensign Angelica Brooks, spokeswoman for the Eagle, says many members of the ship’s crew have already relocated to the New London area and are ``thrilled’’ to return to Connecticut.

Every cadet who attends the Coast Guard Academy spends a minimum of six weeks on board Eagle.

LOCAL Waterfront developer hit with $15.58 fine for “bait-and-switch” building scheme LOS ANGELES (AP)—A developer was hit with a record $15.58 million fine for constructing a high-priced hotel on the Southern California coast after initially obtaining a permit for a property with moderately priced rooms, in what state officials called a “bait-and-switch” building scheme.

Sunshine Enterprises violated a state law that enshrines public access to beach areas, according to the California Coastal Commission.

Commissioners unanimously approved the fine – the largest in the agency’s 40-year history – but decided not to immediately levy an additional, staff-recommended $5.9 million in mitigation fees linked to approval of a new permit.

The fees would have been held in an account to help fund projects offering lower-cost alternatives for people who might have stayed in the moderately priced

rooms, such as rehabilitating old motels or expanding campgrounds.

Instead, the commissioners postponed a decision on issuing the fees and granting an after-the-fact permit. Commissioners indicated that they wanted to see dozens of replacement rooms created either at the current hotel or nearby. No deadline was given.

“Past behavior is often a predictor of future behavior,” Commissioner Aaron Peskin said before the vote. “I don’t want their money – I want their hotel rooms.

Why can’t they just convert 87 of the 164 rooms to an affordable price point?”

Sunshine Enterprises was permitted to rebuild and expand two motels – the Pacific Sands and a Travelodge – that were among a dwindling number of affordable accommodations along a tourist-heavy strip of pricey hotels near the Santa Monica Pier. The new hotel would not offer a bar, restaurant, spa or other “luxury” amenities and rooms would cost about $165 a night, according to the permit application.

But the company let that permit expire and instead built the boutique Shore Hotel, where rooms with a “bed and breakfast package” start at around $300 and ones featuring Pacific Ocean views can run up to $800, documents show.

Under the landmark Coastal Act, the commission protects resources including marine habitat, fisheries, shoreline public access and less-expensive visitor accommodations.

“We don’t want beaches to become only a place for the wealthy. We have many residents who don’t live within driving distance to the coast and they should be able to enjoy it and spend some time,” Commission Supervisor Andrew Willis said earlier this week.

Efforts to make sure lower-income people can visit beaches and also afford to spend the night are central to the commission’s mission, said Sean Hecht, a law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Commissioners lambasted Sunshine

Enterprises before the vote.

“It’s almost textbook environmental injustice,” Commissioner Mark Vargas said.

Sunshine Enterprises had said in a statement that it will pay all penalties and work with the commission to reach “full resolution of this matter.”

“Shore Hotel recognizes the hotel was opened without the Coastal Commission’s permit and regrets this violation took place and the length of time it has taken to rectify this violation of the Coastal Act,” the company said.

Sunshine Enterprises lost in court after suing when commissioners denied an after-the-fact permit for the new Shore Hotel. An appeals court this year upheld the commission’s denial.

“The court upheld that it was a baitand-switch,” Lisa Haage, the commission’s chief of enforcement, said of Sunshine Enterprises’ actions.

Gray whale death investigation reveals it was struck by ship, species is facing malnutrition SAUSALITO, California (AP)—A gray whale that was found dead on a San Francisco beach was hit by a ship.

The 41-foot-long adult female was spotted May 6 at Ocean Beach.

The Marine Mammal Center says a necropsy performed May 7 found the whale’s skull and upper vertebrae had fractures consistent with a ship strike.

The whale also seemed in poor shape.

Its insulating layer of blubber was thinner than usual.

It’s the ninth whale found dead in the San Francisco Bay Area since March.

The center says three previous whales died from ship strikes and four from malnutrition.

The center says some grays are in poor condition during this year’s annual migration from Mexico to Alaska. They suspect some are having trouble finding food as warming ocean conditions cause changes in their food supplies.

Marina del Rey’s WaterBus service will continue to operate, thanks to new agreement approved by the L.A. County Board of Supervisors on April 30.

WaterBus service contract approved by L.A. County Supervisors Multi-year, $4.4 million agreement will allow Hornblower Yachts to continue its on-the-water taxi service during summer months.

By Parimal M. Rohit

MARINA DEL REY—The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors officially approved a multi-year, $4.4 million contract allowing Hornblower Yachts to provide WaterBus service in Marina del Rey during summer months on April 30. The agreement is for three guaranteed years, with two one-year renewal options.

WaterBus service has maintained a presence in Marina del Rey, operating each summer in the harbor; those using the service do so by catching the WaterBus at one of nine designated boarding locations.

“By providing direct access to the water, as well as itself being a water activity, the program continues to attract visitors and encourage leisurely weekend use of the Marina as a tourist destination, thereby increasing patronage of retail restaurants and other establishments, resulting in additional revenue to the county,” county staff stated in a report to supervisors.

“In addition, the WaterBus service provides an alternative form of transportation for residents in the Marina, including providing bicyclists with access to the Marvin Braude Bike Trail (coastal bike path) and alleviating traffic in the Marina during the popular Burton Chace Park summer concert series and other special events,” county staff continued.

The waterbus service is expected to run 11 weeks during the first year of the contract, according to county staff. Service will increase slightly to 12 weeks next year.

“The WaterBus will operate for 11 weeks during the first contract year, at an annual amount of $762,005, and

for 12 weeks annually thereafter at an annual amount of $818,112,” county staff stated.

WaterBus began offering shuttle services on the water in 2002; the service, according to county staff, “has steadily increased in popularity, serving a record 58,000 passengers in the 2018 season.”

“To accommodate the increase in ridership, the service will be expanded in the requested contract, which has increased the annual contract amount by $394,804 over the current contract,” county staff stated in it’s report to supervisors. “Each year of the contract, the WaterBus service will operate for a special two-day Department event in May, and then regular service will begin on the third Thursday in June, continuing through Labor Day. “The service expansion includes an additional boarding location at Pier 44,” county staff continued.

Hornblower’s previous contract with the county took effect in 2014 and expired on May 6.

The bus’s nine loading locations are Burton Chace Park, Del Rey Landing, Dolphin Marina, the Esprit I Dock, Fisherman’s Village, Harbor at Marina Bay, Mother’s Beach, Pier 44 and Waterfront Walk.

WaterBus service is offered Thursdays through Saturdays, 11:00 a.m. to midnight, and Sundays, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. The service runs from 11 a.m.to 9 p.m. on Labor Day and 11 a.m. to midnight on the Fourth of July, MarinaFest, ARTsea and Discover Marina del Rey. The total contract will be worth $4,437,898, if all five years of the approved contract are executed.

“The director of the Department of Beaches and Harbors [has the authority] to exercise the two one-year optional renewal years, if, in his opinion, Hornblower Yachts, LLC has effectively performed the services during the previous contract period and the services are still required,” county staff stated in their report to supervisors.

Standing Watch From page 6

complete a project the scale of Dana Point Harbor. It’s not like we’re living in the era of ‘The Jetsons’ – we don’t even have flying cars.

Yet the spirit of this Newport Beach mandate should be noted. Why shouldn’t waterfront development projects, regardless of scale, be held to a strict timeline?

Dana Point Harbor, for example, could see its revitalization completed by 2030, based upon a loose timeline suggested by Orange County Supervisor Lisa Bartlett. Let’s assume the new Dana Point Harbor is indeed completed and operational by 2030 – at least 33 years would have passed between the first chatter of revitalizing Orange County’s southernmost harbor and completion.

So much has happened in the 22 years between 1997 and 2019 – and who knows how much more change we will experience in the next 11 years (or beyond).

Similar could be said of the Channel Islands Harbor revitalization in Oxnard, which has been in the works for a little more than a decade. The project hit a rough patch during the Great Recession of 2008 and has been slow to recover since, but Ventura County Harbor Department Director Mark Sandoval was recently on record saying the revitalization is about to begin and a groundbreaking could be scheduled at some point this year.

Boaters and anglers who use King Harbor in Redondo Beach will have to wait several years before any revitalization on the South Bay waterfront becomes a reality. Plans to modernize the King Harbor waterfront were kyboshed last year, thanks to local activists pushing back hard on the project’s large-scaled elements.

Now there have been a few bright spots, such as Alamitos Bay Marina in Long Beach. The city of Long Beach spent 13 years revitalizing the marina (in phases); what began in 2005 was completed in 2018. CenterCal Properties’ shopping plaza across from Alamitos Bay Marina has made quite a bit of progress and could be completed at some point this year, even with a recent inquiry by the California Coastal Commission regarding the possible

thelog.com

removal of palm trees. The 2nd and PCH project, which CenterCal’s CEO stated would cater to local boaters, gained momentum in 2017, when a hotel on the property site was demolished to make way for the new commercial shopping center.

Elements of Ventura Harbor have been “beautified” and revitalized in recent years, with relatively quick

turnaround. Coronado and the Port of San Diego upgraded docks and a boat launch ramp at Glorietta Bay Marina by 2017, only a few years after the project’s conception. Individual projects on and around the San Diego waterfront were conceived and completed since Orange County officials first discussed a revitalization of Dana Point Harbor in 1997.

Then there are the waterfront redevelopments in Dana Point and Oxnard, where the length of time between conception and completion is generational. Orange and Ventura county officials should get started on the next harbor revitalization projects now – you know, so they’re ready to implement the next round of changes after the current plans become phased out.

TAKE ACTION A lot of variables do go into a redevelopment project. There are negotiations, risks and market conditions to consider, among other things. But isn’t waiting 33 years to see a project come to life a little too long to wait (and this assumes the new Dana Point Harbor will indeed be completed and operational by 2030)? Plans to upgrade Channel Islands Harbor hit a major speed bump with the Great Recession of 2008, but it’s now 2019 – how much time is considered reasonable to allow for recovery from poor market conditions?

The bigger question is whether Newport Beach is onto something with its time limit mandate for smaller construction projects. Why stop at projects barely flying above the radar? Should we require all new developments to be completed within a prescribed (and reasonable) amount of time (with certain factors negotiated in advance)?

Your local city council or county board of supervisors can only make these decisions – here are a few people you can contact. Feel free to reach out to them and let them know your thoughts on revitalizations (and how long it should take for them to be realized).

“Suitable heron nesting sites, which play an important role in breeding, are scarce in southern California and at least seven active heron nests had been located in trees that were removed. The trees located at the proposed project site provide biologically significant habitat for the Alamitos Marina heron colony,” Coastal Commission staff stated in a report to commissioners.

OXNARD—A group’s challenge to Long Beach’s plan to relocate palm trees near Alamitos Bay Marina wasn’t successful, as the California Coastal Commission, on May 9, endorsed a recommendation to allow the city’s coastal redevelopment project to move forward.

Paradise, South of the Border: Ensenada Still a Boater’s Hot Spot

By Parimal M. Rohit

ENSENADA, Baja California—The thrill of competitive sailing and the pleasure of recreational cruising were on full display during the final weekend of April at Hotel Coral and Marina.

Hundreds of boaters and sailors were mingling with each other over breakfast on April 28, the morning after dozens of sailboats raced down the Pacific Ocean as part of the Newportto-Ensenada International Yacht Race.

Socializing turned to celebrating as awards were handed out to the race’s best performers. One by one, teams of boaters started filtering out of the pool area and into the lobby. Many would grab a shuttle, taxi or bus to the U.S.Mexico border in Tijuana (Ensenada does not have a commercial airport), but some stayed back for a little bit more.

A few stragglers took the hotel shuttle into downtown and probably enjoyed food and drinks. Others rented vans and trekked east into Guadalupe Valley – locally known as Mexico’s Napa Valley – and sampled some wines.

Some remained at the Coral, enjoying the views of Bahia Todos Santos from

This is Ensenada – a perfect getaway for Southern California boaters who want to cruise internationally without being far from home.

specifically Cotija cheese, lemongrass, olive oil and pork rinds.

Seafood is often incorporated into Baja Med dishes – which makes sense, when you consider most of Baja California’s population lives on the coast and Ensenada is where the fish taco originated. Don’t be surprised if you see a tempura fish taco, for example.

There are other cuisines, of course, to enjoy in Ensenada. You do have your U.S. of A. imports, such as McDonald’s and Carl’s Jr., but you’ll also find a fair share of Chinese, Japanese, Korean BBQ and Brazilian restaurants in downtown and along Route 1, as well.

Those seeking upscale dining would enjoy Sano’s Steakhouse, which is located near Hotel Coral and features views of Bahia Todos Santos.

Other restaurant options include BC Bistro & Cava (Hotel Coral), El Rey Sol, Las Cazuelas and Mariscos Bahia de Ensenada.

Getting Here Ensenada, as noted above, does not have a commercial airport. There are two ways to get to Ensenada: car or boat.

Those who come by road would do so through Tijuana or Tecate. Be sure to bring your passport and any other related paperwork. Take the TijuanaEnsenada Highway (Route 1), which is a toll road paralleling Baja California’s northwest coast. Route 1 is a toll road, so be sure to have some cash on hand if you are driving your own car. (A hired driver might have a transponder to pay the fee, which is between $1 and $2, per tollbooth; there are two tollbooths along the way.)

The drive from Tijuana to Ensenada is roughly 70 miles in distance.

Getting here by ocean, though, is probably the preferred option, at least for The Log’s readers – and there are marinas catering to boaters who arrive here in their respective vessels. Hotel Coral and Marina, located in the upper reaches of the Ensenada coast, is one of the first destinations in town.

Boaters can also head into Ensenada Harbor, which has a guest anchorage. Keep in mind the harbor is also home to cruise ships, shipping

vessels and the Mexican Navy.

Paperwork Are you cruising in and out of Mexico by boat? Be sure to have your paperwork in order. Much of what you need to do can be done in Ensenada, as the city is the first (or last, if you are leaving) Mexican port upon arriving from (or departing to) the United States.

The first thing to do is pay the required fees. This can be done by visiting the Mexican consulate’s website, which is www.banjecito.com.mx/ registroEmbarques/. You’ll also need a passport number, name of the person who is in charge of the vessel and vessel documentation.

Be sure to create a passenger list. All passengers and crewmembers must be listed on the spreadsheet, which you will email to Mexico’s immigration officials. Visit www.inm.gob.mx for more information.

Everyone on board will also need to have his or her passport (or passport card) and completed FMM (Forma Migratoria Multipe). A valid registration or vessel documentation must also be on board.

Also required to be on board: a TIP (Temporary Import Permit). Failure to have a valid TIP means Mexican officials will consider the vessel to be within the country’s jurisdiction illegally. Boaters can obtain a TIP at the Mexican consulate (Los Angeles, Phoenix, Sacramento, San Bernardino) or at a Mexican port of entry (Ensenada, La Paz, etc.)

Harbor patrol representatives, however, state that docking use will increase to 2-4 hours in the near future.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

NEWPORT BEACH—A group of boaters in Newport Beach expressed outrage over the Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD), located at 1901 Bayside Drive, decision to limit a public dingy dock time limit from 72 hours to 20 minutes. An unnamed source close to the matter shared a timeline of events with The Log, providing evidence of the change, including a time when allegedly docking was not allowed at all.

Carol Jacobs, City Manager for Newport Beach, told The Log in an email, “I understand several folks are concerned about the removal of the 72 [-hour] time limit on the OCSD Dock.

The Harbor Commission and Council are aware of the resident’s concerns however, we have not taken a position on this issue yet.”

OCSD representatives were quick to defend their decision to limit the timeframe. In a phone conversation with Lt. Christopher Corn he told The Log the main reasoning the 20-minute time limit has been instated was due to congestion at the fueling station, which is also located at the dock.

According to Corn and OCSD’s official website, the harbor patrol located in Newport Beach is largely preoccupied with Homeland Security.

The website says, “In response to increased concerns about potential terrorism after the events of September 11, 2001, this bureau became part of the department’s Homeland Security Division. Deputies are on heightened alert to any possibility of terrorist activity, and constantly monitor potential targets within the harbors and along the county coastline.”

Accordingly peace officers, like Corn, would be granted the right to implement laws for purposes related to homeland security.

Corn stated that he realized a 20-minute time limit could be inconvenient for boaters and time limits were

set to be raised to 2 to 4 hours so boaters could shop for groceries and other activities. He mentioned that at this time, while the changes are coming, there is a procedure for creating the correct signage, which has possibly held up the 20-minute time limit being The public dock at OC Sheriff’s Department, located at 1901 Bayside Drive, is changed. pictured.

Boater Beware: Isthmus Reef strikes again?

By Parimal M. Rohit TWO HARBORS—A problem once thought to be fully eradicated has returned to Two Harbors – and, no, we’re not talking about the measles. It turns out boat groundings at Isthmus Reef – which used to happen regularly until a pole marker was installed in the 1990s – are back on the radar.

Dave Coiner, assistant to the harbormaster at Two Harbors, submitted a letter to The Log on April 28, stating three groundings at Isthmus Reef had occurred – two during Easter weekend and a third occurrence during the final weekend of April. The pole marker used to inform boaters of shallow depths at Isthmus Reef was lost during the most recent winter season. Replacing the pole marker was a white buoy (which flashed a light at night).

“The marker that served the public so well finally succumbed to Mother Nature’s force and toppled into to the depths and has since been replaced by a tiny little white (flashing at night) buoy just east of the highest point. As our season begins we have had no less than three unfortunate vessels strike the reef,” Coiner wrote in his letter to The Log. “So far (knock on wood) no injuries just costly and embarrassing damage to both the marine habitat and their vessels.”

powered dewatering pumps became standard issue for our patrol boats and our Mooring Service Divers became expert at salvage operations.”

The installation of a stationary pole marker and warning sign in the mid1990s helped reduced the number of groundlings at Isthmus Reef to zero, according to Coiner. These new groundings, however, had Coiner urging boaters to use as much caution as possible when navigating around or in the Two Harbors area.

“I would also like to encourage … the boating public to contact the L.A./L.B. offices of our USCG to express your concern, show your support for all that they do and encourage their efforts to replace the current temporary aid with another stationary marker like the one before it that served its purpose so well,” Coiner said in his letter to The Log. Isthmus Reef is a popular dive area just beyond the shores of Two Harbors; it is also home to shallow waters.

A website on California diving news – cadivingnews.com – noted Isthmus Reef as an ideal location to train novice divers, because of its shallow depths.

“Isthmus Reef is favored by instructors and novice divers, not only because of its location in a sheltered area not far from shore but also because so much of it is shallow – so shallow that rocks break the water at low tide,” a cadivingnews. com article on Isthmus Reef stated. “The reef forms a rough oblong less than 500 yards long by about 275 yards wide.

The water in this area is less than 60 feet deep. There’s a mini wall along the southern edge, a gentle, rocky slope off the northern.”

SAN DIEGO—In the previous issue of The Log, managing editor Parimal Rohit noted in his Standing Watch column the lack of an advocacy organization for SoCal boaters.

Organizations such as the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), BoatUS and Recreational Boaters of California do a good job advocating for their particular boating industry niche, but no existing organization focuses on regular boaters’ interests.

That doesn’t mean that you, my fellow boaters, can’t have an impact on shaping the outcome of current proposals. Perennial issues include imposition of greater ethanol additive requirements in fuel, with potential damage to engines; reconfiguration of marinas, including elimination of smaller slips; and redevelopment of harbors with reduction of space allocated to smaller boats and essential services.

When I worked in Washington, D.C. for legislative advocacy on wide-ranging issues, including recreational boating, pending before Congress, state legislatures, city councils and county boards, I frequently heard from citizens that their views didn’t count – that only “the big guys” mattered.

I’ve long felt that most legislators and their employees, unless they themselves are boaters, have little or no understanding of boating issues. Many regard boating as the indulgent hobby of rich white men, not the passion of the multi-ethnic working class who pour their limited discretionary income into their boats and/or fishing gear.

Some legislators don’t understand the economic impact of boating or the number of good jobs the industry supports. That makes it easy – as happened some years ago – for San Diego Port District commissioners to propose tourist-oriented redevelopment of Shelter Island, eliminating critical space for boatyards and marine services. Or the misguided 10 percent luxury tax on yachts sales the Congress enacted in 1990 that resulted in little tax collection increase, but caused the loss of 30,000 solid middle-class marine industry jobs nationwide.

Avalon City Council brings back discussions on Harbor Advisory Board – again Council members lean toward creating an advisory/ad hoc committee instead of a formalized harbor commission; vote on issue will be held later.

AVALON—The subject of forming some kind of harbor advisory committee has struck a nerve with City Council members, locals, harbor patrol and other business owners here in Avalon, ever since the idea of reinstating a waterfront-themed board arose last December. It has also been an ongoing issue – until, hopefully, Avalon City Council’s next meeting.

Creating a harbor advisory committee in Avalon has been somewhat controversial, as evidenced by a heated discussion at the City Council meeting on May 7, but it appears council members have finally come to a conclusion.

City Council members will likely give direction for the community to form an adhoc or advisory committee at their next meeting. Since no formal direction had been given to staff, this item was brought back – again – to make a final decision.

Council member Cinde MacGuganCassidy, who previously served on Avalon’s dissolved harbor committee, will sit on an advisory committee along with fellow Council member Pam Albers – both of whom have been supportive of reinstating a harbor committee.

Whether a formalized agency or a community-formed advisory committee, boaters, locals and harbor business owners have expressed a desire for an organized harbor discussion group of some kind.

MacGugan-Cassidy cited she wanted a team of experts to look into protecting “the harbor’s assets,” ensuring quality customer service, bettering existing services, providing safer mobility and boating safety education to inexperienced boaters as well as seasoned sailors, and other issues.

To Form a Harbor Commission or Not? Most Southern California coastal cities have some kind of harbor advisory board. Avalon might be one of the last cities without such a commission.

In March, Huntington Beach held its first official harbor commission meeting after years of trying to get that off the ground. Notably, Commissioner Alfred Balitzer, a retired professor, had been active in pursuing Huntington Beach City Council in creating an organized board since the 1990s.

Dana Point, another city that experienced difficulty in creating a harbor commission (including Orange County officials dissembling a harbor commission before it even launched), finally saw the first meeting for Dana Point Harbor Advisory Board (DPHAB) on

Avalon Harbor is one of America’s most unique boating destinations and has moorings owned by locals, visitors and business owners alike. Catalina’s only municipality is also one of the last coastal cities without a harbor commission – but is a formalized harbor advisory board necessary here?

Feb. 26, 2018.

Both new harbor commissions, Huntington Harbour Commission and DPHAB, are made up of local volunteers with a wide range of experience. While there are harbor business owners and avid boaters that serve, a commission can also include some volunteers whose background are not largely focused on boating or waterfront activities. One example is Renee Hunter, a new commissioner for Huntington Harbour Commission, who is a retired aerospace engineer who worked with Boeing. According to her application, she was different in coming to the commission from an “assets” perspective.

On the other hand, Huntington Beach has a population of about 202,000 and Dana Point has a significantly smaller population of approximately 34,000. Avalon’s population is just a sliver of Dana Point or Huntington Beach, clocking in with about 4,000 people. For a smaller population with an incredibly unique island setting, would it be beneficial to use more city resources to create (another) formalized agency?

Mayor Ann Marshall, who has been opposed to forming a harbor commission, believed there was not a need to create a harbor commission. One of her reasons was that people simply were not showing up to City Council meetings when harbor-related items were up for discussion.

“How often, do you say, we’re talking about shore boats and nobody comes out?” Marshall said. “I don’t know what difference the task force would be than to make a formal commission … I really appreciate that you all are thinking, but would prefer an ad-hoc committee instead of a commission with all the work.”

Marshall encouraged others to attend a city council meeting.

MacGugan-Cassidy, on the other hand, explained the need for a transparent system.

“I feel that we are losing boaters or should I say visitors,” said MacGuganCassidy. “When we changed our mooring rates we saw the detriment to rates to our harbor and revenue for our harbor. We have remedied that

as a council, but I think that there’s a lot a committee could do to help give suggestions.”

Greg Harris, who had been involved in organizing the task force, stated, “Anyone who uses the harbor fields a lot of questions, and I don’t know if the harbor department has the time to field all these questions.”

The Difference Between a Task Force, Advisory Committee & Formal Harbor Commission When it comes to a task force/ad hoc committee or a formal harbor commission, it can be confusing to decipher the difference.

A harbor commission is generally described as an advisory body providing formal feedback to city staff and City Council, including decisions affecting the municipal code, harbor-related improvements, capital projects and more.

An ad hoc committee, which is what may show up on Avalon City Council’s next consent calendar (agenda items council members can approve without discussion), is not a formalized body appointed by the City Council and is typically a temporary body to assist in a particular project. Similarly, a task force is a unit of volunteers coming together under a specific purpose.

Ad-hoc committee and a harbor commission: Which one better serves the community and elected officials?

Newport Beach Harbor Commission, for instance, forms ad hoc committees comprising of two commissioners who survey the community and gathers research on assigned studies; commissioners typically volunteer to be on ad hoc committees or request that another commissioner work with them who is knowledgeable on a subject, whether it be boating safety, sea walls or another topic. This also makes sure commissioners, while gathering research for the committee, do not violate The Brown Act, of which The Log has covered in past issues.

Expensive Engineering Consultants & Budget Troubles Avalon has a slew of renovation

projects on the list from Cabrillo Mole Ferry Terminal to the Casino Arch repair, not to mention the many other concerns on the waterfront and a limited budget. Some council members and citizens have felt long-awaited projects could receive that extra push by gathering advice from an expert crew of harbor commissioners.

One public commenter stated, “We’re falling apart with rust, and stucco falling off and pier pilings dangling, and things that are just getting noticeable.”

Making repairs on a large scale is incredibly costly, sometimes with just the consultant’s assessment of the project adding up to $1 million or more – a huge undertaking even for cities with a sizeable budget.

Albers, at the most recent council meeting, stated she was frustrated with “hiring expensive consultants that don’t offer results, don’t offer solutions and I’m cognizant that staff does not have the time.” Her take appeared to be some of Avalon’s more talented individuals could offer feedback to save money when preparing plans for harbor infrastructure and other projects.

However, several people rebutted her statements including Marshall and Harbormaster J.J. Poindexter, citing that in order to pursue grants it was a necessity to hire consultants.

Poindexter also stated it was a liability to take on the responsibility of these projects.

Poindexter said, “There’s a liability … It’s gonna cost money – that’s the bottom line. There’s no getting away from that.”

“The fuel dock was put together wrong, but there was an engineering firm that put their name to it,” Poindexter continued. “Now if it bellies up, they [naysayers] are right and they [engineers] are wrong. At the time it was a money issue.”

Marshall also questioned whether research would be accepted when applying for a grant.

“I don’t think government works that way, but I could be wrong.”

Council member Richard Hernandez, who also stated he was not in favor of a formal harbor commission, said, “It’s still about the budget.

There still has to be money to do this [revitalization projects, etc.].”

Albers further discussed being able to consult with a harbor advisory committee, including boaters, yacht club members and others, about what could be done on a limited budget.

While harbor committees do provide, at times, executive levels of advice to city councils, would a harbor committee have the capacity to save money in Avalon or at least streamline the consulting phase?

Hennessey’s Sailor Life Little Hennessey is an 18-month deer-legged Chihuahua. Here she breaks in her new boat, a 1991 Wellcraft 330 Coastal, and is looking forward to spending time on her “condo-on-the-water fishing buggy.”

Drexel Earned his Sea Legs According to his owners, as a Labrador retriever/border collie mix, Drexel has not only earned his sea legs, but he also has “an evolved sense of command and safety.”

Kudos to Drexel, who always wears his life jacket, for promoting boating safety on the waters!

Tilly’s Return Tilly has been featured in The Log before, and that’s just a testament to how much she loves helming her 42-foot catamaran Capaz around the Santa Cruz and Catalina Islands. Her owners say, “She loves to be in charge of the cat!”

Ahoy, JJ! JJ, an 8-year-old miniature Wheaton mix, was rescued by her owners Gary and Diane Silvers seven years ago.

According to the Silvers, “She loves boating and going up to the snow” and “brings joy to everyone who meets her.”

Catalina Island Rugby Festival celebrates the legacy of an “Old Boys’” sport Organizer Tom Hendrix shares how his identical twin brother, Joe, began the festival as well as what makes this festival so unique.

CATALINA ISLAND—Some Americans may not even know what rugby is, but on Catalina Island you might say the British sport is king. For the past 27 years, the island has hosted the annual Rugby Festival, which took place on May 4.

Rugby is commonly believed to have originated in 1823 at Rugby School in England when a student named William Web Ellis decided to make up his own rules for soccer (called football in the United Kingdom). At Rugby School, a stone laid into a wall commemorates this event, reading Ellis had “a fine disregard for the rules of football” and “first took the ball in his arms and ran with it, thus originating the distinctive feature of the rugby game.”

Though rugby began in Great Britain, it has since become popular in other regions like France, South Africa and – where it is most popular today – New Zealand.

Rugby, in many ways, is similar to American Football. The sport is also known for its rough and tumble gaming (which consequently does result in serious injuries at times), but is also becoming more and more popular in America. Los Angeles Rugby Club, a sponsor of Catalina Island’s Rugby Festival, states it has “contributed extensively to the development of the

game of Rugby Union Football on the Pacific Coast and the USA.” L.A. Rugby Club was established in 1958 and has organized a wealth of teams for all ages and skill sets.

Catalina Island has hosted the Rugby Festival since 1992, when Joe Hendrix, who was on the board for Southern California Rugby Football Union (SCRFU), started the event.

Sadly, Joe passed away and now his identical twin brother Tom Hendrix organizes the event.

Tom told The Log in an email, “Joe in 2000 was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and with the Cancer Support Community of Redondo Beach had an 11-year battle with his illness. Consequently, that’s when Joe started raising funds for both Cancer Support and the Los Angeles Rugby Club. Joe passed away in 2011 and that’s when I took over the event.”

Today, the festival still raises funds

for cancer support and the L.A. Rugby Club.

Joe, as a board member of SCRFU, was in charge of incoming tours and the Old Boy, a team once dedicated to men 35 years and older, but is now 40 and older. According to Tom, Catalina’s Festival has always been an Old Boys event.

“The reason for that move [in age] was to make it more competitive for older players,” said Tom. “All entrants are guaranteed 3rd place hence No Championship. There are 3 rounds of games. The first round the matches are 40 minutes. At the conclusion of the first round there is a 40-minute match of two teams 50 years and older. Usually the 50+ players are closer to 60ish. Then the 2nd and 3rd rounds are guaranteed 40-minute matches however that is negotiable.”

Tom says that often times each match is around 30 minutes; some-

times later in the day the match times are reduced to 20 minutes.

Some might wonder about the numbers, but Catalina Island Rugby Festival is by no means a small event.

Tom estimates 500 or more people head to the Island to play in or watch the competitions.

“I had a player from Georgia who was a visiting player with Old Southwest from Arizona,” Tom said. “He told me he was so impressed with what he saw will be back next year with his local team. One of the original teams from the 1990s is the Ancient Aztecs from San Diego. They usually bring up to 75 people.”

Just as rugby is quite the international game, Catalina Island Rugby Festival draws competitors from many areas of the world.

“This year there were two players with the Berkeley Old Boys who flew in from Mexico City and two visitors of mine personally from Brisbane, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand,” Tom continued.

On top of that, Tom said that he expects next year in 2020 there will be “a strong opportunity” two women’s teams will enter to play each other.

While the event certainly becomes quite competitive, Tom shares it’s more for the fun of the sport and not the formal scores of the game that matter.

“As for a score, I am not sure this year our format scores matter with no championship … I would say Sin City Irish (Las Vegas) and The Axemen from Sacramento were dominate this year.”

According to city staff, the Regional General Permit 54 plan, which allows for dredging projects and eelgrass to coincide, has reaped benefits.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

NEWPORT BEACH—Once a friend asked this reporter, “What the heck is eelgrass? Do eels live in it?” Staff at The Log cannot claim to be marine biologists, but according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) eelgrass is considered “one of nature’s most valuable and productive habitats in the marine environment.”

Though not explicitly stated whether it’s inhabited by eels, there are multiple species of it and waterfowl, sea turtles, Pacific herring and many other creatures make their home in eelgrass. The lack of eelgrass can also affect fisheries, oxygen levels in the water and can contribute to other issues that damage the ocean’s ecosystem.

For harbors and marinas that need to be dredged, however, eelgrass is a dilemma. As a protected species and a vital necessity to the ocean’s ecology, eelgrass needs to thrive – but for sailors and boaters going without a harbor dredging program can be dangerous.

An important challenge to be met for Newport Beach, for example, was how

to meet their desperate dredging needs vs. upholding the ecological importance of the dwindling plant species.

Eelgrass poses a problem to humans, but according to Newport Beach’s Harbor Resources Manager Chris Miller, eelgrass, in contrast to Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, is the hero Newport’s waters needs right now. The marine plant species has allowed the city’s small-scale dredging program to take off where at one time the dredging need in Newport was dire.

Miller gave a presentation, at Newport Beach Harbor Commission’s meeting on May 8, on the progress of a Newport-Beach-specific eelgrass mitigation plan, which was approved by the California Coastal Commission in June 2015. The Log’s Parimal M. Rohit covered this topic when the program launched, writing, “Regional General Permit 54, or RPG 54, would give Newport Beach primary responsibility for small dredging projects up to 8,000 cubic yards per event (and 75,000 cubic yards per year) under and around existing docks.”

Of the past four years the program has been implemented, Miller stated that year two was when eelgrass was impacted the most so far with 32 applications, 54.564 cubic yards dredged and 25 properties temporarily impacting the plant. Year one saw the most applications and areas dredged (43 applications; 60.185 cubic yards),

and applications have tapered off with 10 applications (24.729 cubic yards dredged) in year three. In year four, there are only five applications so far and eelgrass impacted will be announced at a later date, according to the presentation.

Time is running Zostera marina, known as eelgrass, is one of the more common types of seaout on RPG 54, grass in the world. It also provides a habitat for many marine species. which expires in Dec. 2020 according to Miller, and the program is coming close to finnot perfect, notably for detecting deepishing out its term. Miller also stated sea eelgrass that divers could not easily the city-specific eelgrass mitigation access. However, through the city’s GIS program, an enterprising venture when system homeowners in the city – or it was embarked upon, has received anyone interested – can monitor the compliments from harbor staff around presence of eelgrass in the harbor.

California who are hoping or had hoped Miller, wrapping up his presentation, to try a similar approach in creating a added, “I am trying to be eelgrass’s bigplan of action for dredging around eelgest cheerleader … The more eelgrass grass. The Coastal Commission allowed we have, the more we can impact it. I’m for the temporary permit, RPG 54, to be promoting it with a smile on my face.” put in place as the city monitored the It’s yet to be seen how the numbers impact of dredging to eelgrass ratio. will present themselves when RGP 54 is A biennial diver-based eelgrass up and if the city will be able to consurvey has also been put in place in tinue the program in the future, but if all overseeing the plant’s reproduction as goes according to plan it may serve as well as a GPS system.

Bluewater Grill purchases El Galleon, one of Avalon’s most popular mainstays AVALON—Bluewater Grill, the Newport-Beach-based partnership that offers sustainable seafood, has reportedly purchased El Galleon, a popular restaurant operating in Avalon since 1967. The purchase, according to an article published by The Orange County Register, has been confirmed and the current staff will remain.

The article states: “Bluewater co-owners Jimmy Ulcickas and Richard Staunton acquired the restaurant with local investors including Caleb Lins and plan to renovate it while keeping its menu of steak, prime rib, chicken, burgers and fresh local fish in season.”

Lins is a commercial lobster fisherman, which is fitting: El Galleon has long been a hangout for local fishermen to grab a drink and a quick bite. El Galleon is known for its quirky decor (perhaps a tribute to its name – a galleon is an armed Spanish merchant ship), for karaoke and affordable libations. In addition to their yearround service and prime location on

Crescent Avenue, El Galleon also hosts special holiday events during the year on Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day, 4th of July and New Year’s Eve. Bluewater is also no stranger to Avalon. Currently two other restaurants

by Bluewater are open to the public: Bluewater Avalon and El Galleon, known for its karaoke nights and kitschy decor, has been an Avalon staple hangout since the 1960s. Bluewater, who already own and Toyon Grill. Located operate two restaurants on the island, have taken over ownership and in the new Trailhead plan to remodel beginning in September.

During last year’s clean sweep, 200 volunteers, which include more than 80 divers, collected 4,000 pounds of trash from the harbor.

More rubbish may have made its way into the harbor due to the heavy rain season Southern California experienced.

This cleanup event allows participants the opportunities to not only give back to the environment, but also to enjoy the beautiful coastline in Newport Harbor. Prizes will also

The Finn class will fill four slots for the 2020 Tokyo Games at the 2019 Open European Championship in Athens, Greece. San Diego’s Caleb Paine, the lone sailing medalist at the Rio Games in 2016, hopes to fill one of those four open slots – which will be determined on May 18.

Tokyo Games slot at stake for Finn sailors San Diego’s Caleb Paine is among those seeking to come out ahead at Finn Championships at Athens.

By Parimal M. Rohit ATHENS, Greece—Finn class sailors are angling to fill four berths to the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo at the 2019 Open European Championship in Athens, Greece, with results to determine who will compete in the Summer Games in Japan on May 18. The European championship event, which began on May 13, culminates in a medal race on May 18; those heading to the 2020 Tokyo Games will be announced during the

May 18 closing ceremony.

San Diego’s Caleb Paine, who won the only sailing medal for the United States at the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is one of two sailors competing to represent the U.S. in Tokyo. Luke Muller of Fort Pierce, Florida is the other sailor; only one of the two sailors needs to earn a selection to the Tokyo Games to ensure the United States is represented at next year’s Olympiad.

Racing has been ongoing from May 13 to press time (and beyond) at the Athens International Sailing Centre, with 10 races taking place between Monday (May 13) and Friday (May 17).

The 11th race is scheduled for May 18.

Sailing events at the 2020 Tokyo Games will be held at Enoshima Yacht

Harbor between July 27 and Aug. 6; 10 events are on the docket, with 350 sailors expected to compete for medals.

Eight classes are on the schedule for next year’s Summer Games: RS:X (men and women); Laser (men); Laser Radial (women); Finn (men); 470 (men and women); 49er (men); 49er FX (women); and, Nacra17 (mixed).

Finn is the oldest of sailing classes still competing in the Olympics; the Finn class has been a part of 18 Olympiads since it was introduced at the 1952 Games in Helsinki, Finland.

The United States won three sailing medals at the 1952 Helsinki Games, tied for most that year with Norway and Sweden. Britton Chance, Michael Schoettle, Edgar White and Sumner White won gold for the U.S. in the 5.5

Metre race. Claiming gold for the U.S in the 6 Metre race were Herman Whiton, Everard Endt, John Morgan, Eric Ridder, Julian Roosevelt and Emelyn Whiton.

John Price and John Reid earned a silver medal for the United States in the Star class at the 1952 Helsinki Games.

Yachtsman Paul Elvstrøm (Denmark) was the gold medalist for the Finn class.

The United States has already qualified for three events at the 2020 Tokyo Games: Men’s One Person Dinghy; Women’s One Person Dinghy; and, Men’s Two Person Dinghy.

An estimated 2,500 pounds of the flatfish were caught during first few days of the season, which started on May 1.

The preliminary data has DFW staff declaring the 2019 recreational Pacific halibut season as being “off to a strong start.”

California’s recreational Pacific halibut fishery season kicked off on May 1.

Many anglers took to the water despite ocean and weather conditions that were less than ideal.

“Since opening day on May 1, many north coast anglers have braved lessthan-perfect weather and ocean conditions and were successful in pursuing this highly prized fish,” DFW staff said in a published statement. “Preliminary catch data available to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife … through the first five days of the fishery indicates almost 2,500 pounds of fish were caught.”

At least one DFW staff member stated the preliminary data reads as if offshore halibut catches were being made in July or August.

Michael Rubino appointed as NOAA Fisheries’ Senior Advisor for Seafood Strategy WASHINGTON, D.C.—Seafood development and aquaculture production policy will have a new nationwide leader, as the fisheries arm of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced Dr. Michael Rubino as its Senior Advisor for Seafood Strategy.

Rubino, according to the NOAA Fisheries announcement, will help develop markets for U.S. fisheries products and help expand the country’s domestic aquaculture production. He is specifically tasked with establishing partnerships with fishermen, government agencies, scientists, seafood companies, seafood farmers and tribal leaders to expand aquaculture production

and adopt sustainable aquaculture practices. Creating new markets for U.S. wild-caught fisheries will also be on Rubino’s agenda.

Part of Rubino’s job will call for him to work with NOAA researchers and the private sector to innovate new aquaculture science and technology.

He will also have to “work with U.S. domestic commercial and wild-capture fishing corporations to evaluate what products and services they need from the government in order to increase their contribution to the economy,” according to NOAA Fisheries staff.

“Dr. Rubino is well known inside and outside the agency for his leadership, initiative, and ability to develop

partnerships that support our national goals of seafood production and sound science,” NOAA Fisheries staff said in a released statement.

Rubino’s appointment as the Senior Advisor for Seafood Strategy means he will leave his role as director of NOAA Fisheries’ Office of Aquaculture, a position held since 2011. He developed the National Shellfish Initiative, USDA-NOAA Alternative Feeds Initiative and new science tools for aquaculture management, among other things.

The new seafood advisor for NOAA Fisheries also worked with World Bank and co-founded an aquaculture R&D firm in South Carolina. Rubino earned his PhD in natural resources from the University of Michigan.

ESCONDIDO—Scott Keophantirat had a great day of fishing at Lake Wohlford in Escondido on May 4, where and when he caught a 15.50-pound catfish.

Keophantirat caught the catfish at Oakvale Cove with shrimp.“What a beautiful fish,” Lake Wohlford stated on its Facebook share of Keophantirat’s catch. Keophantirat is one of the two whopper contest leaders for May (although it’s still early in the month).

Also on the whopper leader board is Joe Hernandez, who caught 9.1pound bass.

Hoyt Curtis (10.6-pound catfish), Paul Eddo (2.5-pound crappie), Denny Vath (8.4-pound trout) and Mike Hernandez (10.6-pound bass) were the whopper contest winners for April.

Lake Wohlford received a 750pound plant of channel catfish on May 10. The water level at the lake is low. All private watercraft banned from the lake and are not allowed into the water.

San Diego Report

Spring fishing continues to produce bluefin and yellowtail action for SoCal anglers SAN DIEGO—The 2019 spring fishing season keeps on improving with what are sometimes good numbers of bluefin tuna biting and yellowtail biting in better numbers at more locations at the local islands and along the coast.

Bluefin tuna are attracting much of the attention and some of the better trips are seeing near limit to limit action on bluefin that have been ranging in size from 25 to 275+ pounds. The majority of the bluefin have been nice sized fish within the 50- to 80-pound range.

Liberty out of Fisherman’s Landing had 20 anglers on a full-day trip catch 35 bluefin. Fisherman’s Landing also had Pacific Queen fishing a 1.5-day trip with 33 anglers who caught 32 bluefin, four yellowtails and one yellowfin. Fisherman’s Landing also had Pegasus fishing an overnight trip with nine anglers who caught 17 bluefin. Tomahawk out of Fisherman’s Landing fished a 1.5-day trip with 20 anglers who caught 18 bluefin and nine yellowtails. Fisherman’s Landing also had Condor fishing a 1.5-day trip with 18 anglers who caught five bluefin, 27 yellowtails and 23 bonito.

Sea Adventure 80 out of H&M Landing had 28 anglers fishing a 1.5-day trip and return with 24 bluefin. The 17 anglers aboard Relentless for two days caught six bluefin, 15 yellowtails and 170 rockfish.

Seaforth Sportfishing had San Diego fishing a full-day trip and the 27 anglers returned with five bluefin. Seaforth Sportfishing also had Outer Limits fishing a

Some of the best bluefin stops have come from sonar marks that are being found in the dark. Sardines and flat fall jigs have been working best for the bluefin with sardines working the best. The offshore yellowtails have been running from 5 to 12 pounds and the offshore yellows have been caught while fishing around kelp paddies.

Due to the mixed size of the bluefin you might encounter and the fact that some schools of fish are more eager biters than others, if you have the tackle and the space to carry the tackle, it is a good idea to be prepared Bluefin bites continue to dominate springtime fishing off with live bait rods that have Southern California’s shores, writes Bob Vanian. fluorocarbon leaders ranging from 30 pound test to 100 pound test.

afternoon hours have been best. Over the Mother’s Day weekend there were some private boaters who were reporting having as many as five large yellowtails aboard.

On May 12, New Seaforth out of Seaforth Sportfishing had a fish count of 35 anglers on an afternoon half-day trip catching 13 yellowtails and one sculpin.

Productive rockfish areas off the San Diego County coast include the International Reef, the Imperial Beach Pipeline, hard bottom areas in the region of the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma, the Point Loma Pipeline, the Green Tank, The 270 to the west of Mission Bay, the upper end of La Jolla, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Leucadia, South Carlsbad and Box Canyon.

Catalina Island has also been producing what has been pretty good to sometimes good numbers of yellowtail to go with lots of assorted bottom fish and a mix of a few calico bass, barracuda and bonito. Most of the yellowtail action has come while sitting on the anchor and private boaters have also found some yellowtail action on slow trolled sardines and slow trolled mackerel.

Productive yellowtail areas have been off the V’s, off Little Harbor, outside of Indian Rock and while fishing between the Blue Cavern State Marine Conservation Area and the Long Point State Marine Reserve.

The spring fishing season is moving right along and the yellowtail and bluefin fishing is improving nicely as we head toward the late spring season. I hope you get a chance to get out fishing and get in on the action. Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!

Kern River Hatchery reopens to the public Fish-hatching venue plans to raise and plant native rainbow trout within the local basin.

By Parimal M. Rohit

KERNVILLE—The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) announced Kern River Hatchery is open to the public, again. The re-opening of the hatchery coincides with the fish facility’s newly announced mission: raise native rainbow trout stocks, which would be planted through the Kern River Basin for anglers to catch.

Kern River Hatchery’s new infrastructure is designed, according to DFW staff, to “breed, rear and facilitate the planting of the Kern River rainbow trout.”

There are 12 subspecies of trout

native to California, including the Kern River rainbow.

“The goal is to plant the native strain of trout instead of other domesticated strains of rainbow trout,” DFW staff said in a released statement. “The hatchery will continue to serve as a holding facility and planting base for rainbow trout reared in other hatcheries for stocking in waters from Bakersfield to the high Sierras as the new program progresses.

The facility has been in operation since 1928.”

Kern River Hatchery struggled to maintain full operations each summer, due to warming water temperatures.

State officials addressed this problem by resorting to groundwater for the hatchery’s water supply.

State officials added the new fish-hatching venue would allow for a native strand of rainbow trout to be raised at Kernville while also

relying upon modern infrastructure year-round.

“The hatchery plays a key role in planting trout. Most of the rainbow trout planted, however, have been reared at other hatcheries and were not from strains of rainbows found in the Kern River Basin,” DFW staff stated.

“New wells providing cool, year-round water along with the building of new facilities to hold broodstock, egg taking stations, an incubation area, deep tanks, chillers and raceways make it possible to start the new program using local native stock.”

Installed at the re-opened hatchery are four new deep tanks, which will allow for fish rearing.

“The goal is to capture 50 to 100 mature trout from the backcountry within the Sequoia National Forest,” CFW staff stated. “The trout will be transported to the Kern River Hatchery

where genetic samples will be taken to match and define genetic pairing to produce the best offspring.”

Kern River Hatchery is open daily, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., to the public.
