Fast Facts: Venturing Ventura

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

VENTURA — In the southern part of California, halfway between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, is the coastal City of Ventura. But did you know that the City’s formal name is San Buenaventura, after the 1782 Spanish mission, Mission San Buenaventura, established by Father Junipero Serra? Buenaventura means “good fortune” in Spanish.

The mission is still a popular attraction that lives in the historic downtown district of Ventura and gained a lot of attention when Father Serra was given sainthood by Pope Francis in 2015.

What Ventura makes up for in good fortune it lacks in gluten. Ventura was the first city in the world to produce lima beans outside of their native home in Peru, and it was from these beans that gluten-free options were introduced.

In the 1920s, a baker named William Baker (who later changed his name to Willian Koch) began working at a bakery in Ventura and later opened his own shop called Bill Baker Bakery in Ojai. Baker is known for perfecting his “wheatless flour” by using soy and lima beans from the soils of Ventura. Baker proved that the “best was yet to crumb” when wheat-free breads and pastries entered the health-food craze, and the gluten-free trend took off.

Ventura is also known for being the

gateway to the Channel Islands. The Channel Islands National Park, also called “the American Galapagos,” is an environmental treasure of five islands, including Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, San Miguel, and Santa Barbara. The national park has seen the recovery of multiple endangered species, such as

the Island Fox and the California condor. Ventura Harbor is home to Island Packers, the official concessionaire to the Channel Islands National Park, and they offer both landing and non-landing trips to all five islands where guests can camp, hike, kayak, and much more. None landing trips include whale watch-

ing through the waters of Santa Barbara and the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary to witness some of the largest marina mammals as they make their annual migrations.

Established on March 22, 1872, Ventura has more than 150 years of history and is a great place to visit.

USCGAUX- USCG Narwhal Visits Dana Point

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

DANA POINT — On May 13, the U.S. Coast Guard’s cutter Narwhal which patrols the Orange County coast, paid a visit to the Ocean Institute in Dana Point, where USCG officers and crew held public tours filled with education about the boat and the USCGAUX informed guests about safe boating practices. The vessel is typically docked at the Coast Guard’s facility on Bayside Drive in the Newport Harbor and is the only active Coast Guard unit in Orange County. It is one of seven cutters that operate in the Coast Guard’s Southern California fleet.

Narwhal is an 87-foot Marine Protector Class coastal patrol cutter and is one of the smallest multi-mission patrol vessels employed by the Coast Guard. Home-ported in Coro-

host of Orange County community projects. The term “cutter” identifies a Coast Guard Vessel 65 feet in length or greater, with accommodations for a crew to liveaboard. The cutter Narwhal has a liveaboard crew of 12.

The Narwhal’s duty is to secure the country’s maritime borders, but its crew also conducts search and rescue missions, enforces immigration laws, oversees local fisheries, and responds to oil spills. In addition, the ship typically patrols coastal waters from the Mexican border to the Channel Islands under the direction of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Also in attendance was the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, a uniformed volunteer division of the USCG, comprised of experienced boaters and former Coast Guard veterans that helps bring Coast Guard education to the public. The Dana Point Flotilla has the largest number of memberships in Division 6-8, which covers Dana Point. The flotilla is led by a Flotilla Commander and is assisted by a Vice Flotilla Commander.

The USCGAUX was established in 1939 and is comprised

of 26,000 men and women nationwide to provide support for the Coast Guard by enforcing marine safety and observation and providing private navigational support. The USCGAUX also hosts boating safety classes and performs boater safety checks.

Those interested in joining the USCGAUX must be:

Ventura Harbor’s Annual Dredging Contributes to Overall Beach Renourishment

VENTURA— With recent winter storms and high tide events having severely eroded areas of the California coastline and Ventura Harbor scenic beaches over the past few months, Ventura Harbor’s annual dredging activities have significantly contributed to overall beach restoration.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), working with the Manson Construction Company, began dredging operations in Ventura Harbor on March 11. An estimated 485,000 cubic yards of material was dredged from the federal channel and sand traps to ensure the Harbor entrance remained safe for boaters and commercial fishermen year-round while redispersing the sand back onto the harbor beaches.

Ventura Harbor’s beaches, including Surfer’s Knoll Beach, South Beach, and popular Harbor Cove Beach (or Mother’s Beach as the locals call it) on Spinnaker Drive, have now been largely replenished, allowing the beaches to reopen and be available to the community.

“Maintaining a safe, navigable, and resilient harbor is one of the key guiding principles of the Ventura Port District,” states Brian Pendleton, General Manager of the Ventura Port District. “This crucial sand replacement, as a result of the dredging, also serves as an enormous benefit to residents, surfers, beachgoers, and wildlife, as the sand dunes and beaches provide critical nesting habitat for endangered species such as the Western Snowy Plover and California Least Tern.”

The Corps pays for the annual Ventura Harbor entrance channel dredging activities.

In August 1968, the U.S. Congress approved Public Law 90-483, which among other things, had the U.S. government acting through the Corps, assuming the maintenance responsibility for the navigation features at Ventura Harbor, subject to annual appropriations by the President and/or Congress. The features that the Corps is responsible for maintaining include:

1. The Entrance Channel

2. Sand Traps

3. 3 Jetties

4. An offshore breakwater

5. A groin

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, frequent navigation problems resulting from shoaling at the harbor entrance developed due to a lack of Congressional funding. In 1983, the Port District recognized the need to communicate more effectively with Congress and the Corps and retained the services of a Washington advocate. Since that time, over $140 Million has been expended by the Corps in maintaining and improving the harbor entrance system.

The President’s 2024 Budget was released on March 9, 2023, and the Ventura Harbor project was named for

$8.471 million.

“With the support of Congress and the Senate, this will ensure that dredging will be completed again in early 2024 and provide additional funding for the Corps to update environmental studies and issue a new contract later in 2024,” states Todd Mitchell, Senior Business Operations Manager for the Ventura Port District. “We are truly grateful for the efforts of Congressman Salud Carbajal and Congresswoman Julia Brownley to advocate for the President funding project in his 2024 budget.”

The District permits, funds, and contracts periodic inner harbor dredging (excluding the Ventura Keys). Performance of the dredging requires the District to maintain its permits with the Corps, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, the Ventura County Air Quality Control Board, and the California Coastal Commission. The District’s permits not only allow for inner harbor dredging but also to replicate the work conducted by the Corps if there was an emergency and the work had to be performed by the District.

Because the inner harbor soil is primarily a fine grain (silt), three of the District’s permits for inner harbor dredging have special conditions that require the Santa Clara River to be flowing into the ocean for material placement to take place. Unfortunately, in 2021 when navigating into the channel into the Keys became a concern, the river condition was not met, and the District and City of Ventura had to obtain emergency permits to perform the inner harbor dredging. Therefore, the District has been pursuing amendments to these permits to achieve inner harbor dredging when needed.

LEGAL ADVICE ask a maritime attorney

By David Weil

What do I need to know about starting a chartering business?

QUESTION:I own a 50-foot sailing yacht and I would like to start a charter business. Our home port is Marina Del Rey, California and we would offer the boat for harbor cruises and for overnight trips to Catalina. What legal issues should I be concerned about before I get started?

The Log’s taken you all over California ... Now it’s your turn to show us where you’ve taken The Log Email your photo, contact information and details about your trip to thelogeditor@thelog. com

ANSWER: A new charter business will need to address a lot of issues. Marina restrictions, passenger parking, liquor licenses, and a hundred other details must be considered. But the important legal issues can probably be divided into four main categories: The boat, the operator, city permits, and insurance.

Your first legal issue concerns the construction of the boat. The United States is one of many nations that protects its domestic transportation industries through “cabotage” laws. These laws require the transportation of passengers or cargo between U.S. ports to be performed aboard “U.S. flagged” vessels (vessels registered under the laws of the United States), and U.S. built vessels.

Many sailing yachts in the 50-foot range in this country are foreign-built. A foreign built

vessel may not legally carry passengers for hire in this country unless the owner obtains a waiver of the restriction, or the operation is structured in a way that avoids the restriction through a “bareboat” charter (discussed below). Information regarding a waiver of the U.S. construction requirement is available on the internet web site of the United States Maritime Administration https://www.maritime. dot.gov/ports/domestic-shipping/ small-vessel-waiver-program

If your boat is U.S. built or has a waiver, and it is 100 gross tons or less, you may carry up to six paying passengers (the limit is increased to 12 passengers for vessels over 100 gross tons) without the need for Coast Guard inspection. These are often referred to as “six-pack” or “twelvepack” charters. A Coast Guard Certificate of Inspection will allow the carriage of more passengers, but compliance with the Coast Guard’s inspection standards is very expensive and conversion of an existing boat to an inspected boat is usually cost-prohibitive. Coast Guard inspection for passenger service also usually requires the assistance of an experienced marine architect and it should not be confused with the courtesy inspections conducted by the Coast Guard Auxiliary.

The next issue involves the operator of the vessel. The master of any vessel that carries passengers for hire must be licensed by the Coast Guard as a Captain, for the class of service in which the boat is operating. Further, since our reader is interested in operating overnight charters, the Coast Guard may require an additional licensed crew person to be aboard if the vessel will be underway for extended periods. Contact the Coast Guard’s local Marine Safety Office for information specific to your proposed operation.

Next, you will need to comply with local regulations for the harbor in which you will be boarding passengers. Many harbors charge a boarding tax for each paying passenger. Our reader is interested in running his operation out of Marina Del Rey, and he must therefore comply with a unique set of regulations established by Los Angeles County. The County has a handout that provides a good overview of the process that can be down-

loaded at http://file.lacounty.gov/SDSInter/dbh/docs/1028395_CharterBusinessHandout.pdf

And finally, our reader must consider the boat’s insurance policy and other forms of liability protection. Talk to your marine insurance broker about a charter policy. At a minimum, the policy must include an endorsement for the commercial operation of the vessel (most standard marine insurance policies exclude or limit coverage for these operations). The policy must also provide coverage for claims made by passengers, and “Jones Act” coverage for claims made by members of the crew. You may also want to consider corporate ownership of the boat as an additional level of liability protection, though this may give rise to other legal issues.

Some of the Coast Guard requirements may be avoided through a “bareboat charter” structure. A bareboat charter basically transfers ownership of the boat to the charterer during the term of the charter, but this brings a host of other restrictions, including a requirement that the charterer must select his or her own captain and crew.

These are a few of the basic legal concerns that must be considered by a boat owner who is considering a charter operation, but there are other issues to consider. For example, the charter market in Southern California is extremely competitive. The existing charter boat operators in any harbor are likely to scrutinize new operators who may be tempted to use a few “shortcuts” to get their business off the ground. Do your homework and hire an attorney who is experienced with these issues.

Deep Dive into the Deep Sea Wine Tasting Room

Village.

“ Variety is one of the strengths of our deep sea wine tasting rooms, and we produce over a dozen different white, rosé, and red wines every year,” said Conway. “Almost every month, we are able to release a new vintage of something.”

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

VENTURA — In the fall of 2022, The Ventura Harbor Village gained an exciting new addition to its roster of seaside shops– The Deep Sea Wine Tasting Room. The business is owned and operated by the Conway family of Santa Barbara and Ventura County. This modern wine-tasting room offers 15 wines of exciting and unusual blends of reds and whites. Each is produced in small batch production, and all fruit is locally sourced and sustainably farmed from Santa Barbara C ounty. Along with their friendly and knowledgeable tasting room hosts, daily tastings offer a selection of both Conway and Deep Sea wines providing something for all palates.

“Deep Sea Wines was founded and started producing wines by the Conway siblings in 2007,” said co-owner John Conway in an email to the Log. “We opened our first tasting room on Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara in 2011 and e xpanded to a second location in the Ventura Harbor fall of 2022. [I have] lived for four years in the Ventura Harbor on [my] sailboat and thought this location was the logical next step in showcasing our “maritime influenced” coastal w ines.”

The Conway family has been responsible for the founding and creating t he Deep Sea and Conway wine labels, managing daily operations within the winery, including harvest and produc -

tion, fruit sourcing, label and p roduct design, Deep Sea Tasting Room retail operations, Conway Wine Clubs a nd national sales. As a family with a passion f or wine, every family member wears many hats within the small family business, making the successful production of Santa Barbara grapes a bold note in the Ventura Harbor

Sourced from the highest quality grapes from sustainably farmed coastal vineyards in Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez Valley, Sta. Rita Hills and Los Alamos, the Conway’s capture a “sense of place” in all their wines. The maritime influence in their vineyard sources can be noted in the individual flavors of their wines and pairs well with the oceanside venue. Most of their wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the natural and existing flavors of the varietals, and some are then aged in French oa k barrels.

It’s not just a tasting room, though. Deep Sea Wine Tasting Room often hosts fun and creative special events, such as Oceanic Flow Yoga Class. For $25, participants can take a yoga class followed by a glass of wine on the harbor side patio on the first Sunday of e ach month from 10-11 a.m. In addition, live Music takes place on Sundays f rom 3 – 7 p.m.

You should also mark your calendar for seasonal events such as Pumpkin Carving on the patio and holiday w reath making. Bring your pup along with you to enjoy the pet-friendly patio.

Deep Sea Wine Tasting Room is located on the waterfront at 1 591 Spinnaker Dr. Ventura, California, 93001, in Ventura Harbor Village near the Village lawn. It is open daily at 11 a.m. with hours Sunday through Thursday until 8 p.m. and Friday and Saturday until 9 p.m.

F or more information about the wine, the location, and the family, please visit https://www.conwayfamilywines. com/.

If you’re lucky enough to be drinking wine by the sea, then you’re lucky enough. Ventura Harbor Village welcomed Deep Sea Wine Tasting Room last fall, and the wines pair nicely with the sun, sea, and sand.

Catalina Island Faces Succulent Poaching Problem

Dudleya virens ssp. insularis captivates conservation professionals and nature lovers with its appealing appearance and ecological significance. But unfortunately, that makes it a target for illegal poaching.

By: LOG STAFF

CATALINA ISLAND — Catalina is home to many rare and protected species of both plants and animals. It is one of the Island’s unique attributes that makes it a special place for those who call it home and for the many nature-loving visitors traveling across the Channel each year. Unfortunately, some of the unique species of the Island’s fragile ecosystem are especially vulnerable to threats beyond habitat loss, including illegal collecting.

One species, in particular, is the island liveforever (Dudleya virens ssp. insularis), native to the Channel Islands.

The charismatic succulent grows in small rosettes and has adapted to thrive in the Island’s climate. During spring and early summer, liveforevers produce lovely, slender stalks that bloom pink, yellow, or orange to add a vibrant splash of color to the rocky coastal landscape. In addition, they are a food source for native wildlife and essential for natural erosion control.

Recently, Catalina Island Conservancy Rangers intercepted the illegal removal of several mature liveforevers, rescuing the rare succulents. The largest plant taken was several decades old.

“These wild-harvested plants were exceptionally large species and are significant contributors to the gene pool of the local plant population,” said Catalina Island Conservancy Rare Plant Ecologist Kevin Alison in a news release from May 12. “They were taken from the landscape before they were able to produce flowers and seed, so in addition to these love-

ly individual plants being removed, all the potential future plants were eliminated as well. This loss diminishes the resilience of these rare plants to survive into the future, especially at the local population level.”

Dudleya virens ssp. insularis bears a California Rare Plant Rank of 1B.2 (designating that it is rare, threatened, or endangered in California and elsewhere; moderately threatened in California). In 2021, California passed AB 223 with overwhelming bipartisan support, providing essential protections for many subspecies of Dudleya by establishing penalties for those who illegally remove them from state and private lands without a permit and landowner permission. Poaching the imperiled Dudleya in California comes with a $5,000 fine per plant.

“Though it may look like the cliffs of Catalina are bursting with these beautiful native succulents, they are, in fact, quite rare and important to the Island ecosystem,” said Conservancy Sr. Director of Conservation Lauren Dennhardt. “We appreciate the Rangers protecting biodiversity and being amazing advocates for Catalina’s wildlands.”

Rangers delivered the salvaged succulents to the Ackerman Native Plant Nursery, awaiting transplanting back onto the

landscape. Catalina Island Conservancy has Dudleya virens ssp. insularis in its conservation collection at the Native Plant Nursery and produces plants for restoration.

“All the island liveforever plants at the Ackerman Native Plant Nursery are ethically grown from seed,” added Alison. “Therefore, these plants are available to the public without negative impacts to the plants in the wild.”

To inquire about legally obtaining a responsibly propagated Dudleya from the Nursery, contact Alison at kalison@ catalinaconservancy.org.

The public can report suspicious activity by contacting Catalina Island Conservancy’s Rangers at (310) 510-0393, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Office of Law Enforcement at 1-844-FWS-TIPS, or the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s CalTIP at 1-888-334-CalTIP.

Ecofuel Run to the Capitol and Works with NMMA to Promote Sustainable Marine Fuel During American Boating Congress

TAMPA, FL— The opening of the 2023 American Boating Congress (ABC) in Washington, DC, took place on May 8 and featured a small boat that recently concluded a vast and significant adventure — running by water from Suzuki Marine’s home state of Florida up to the nation’s Capital. This trip — dubbed the Suzuki Marine EcoFuel Run to the Capitol — covered more than 940 miles aboard a 26-foot Sea Pro center console powered by twin Suzuki DF140 outboards and fueled exclusively by new EcoGen90 sustainable marine fuel from VP Racing. This unique Suzuki-powered boat will be used during ABC for on-water demonstrations to highlight and promote the availability of new sustainable and environmentally friendly marine fuels to the boating industry and government decision-makers in support of an ongoing effort by the National Marine Manufacturer’s Association (NMMA).

“We undertook this voyage in support of NMMA’s initiative to educate and inform the industry, policymakers, and the boating public about alternative marine fuels,” said George “Gus” Blakely, Suzuki Marine Executive Vice President of Sales & Service, in a news release from May 8. “There are roughly 12 million gasoline-powered boats across America today, so these new fuels offer a real opportunity for boaters and the boating industry to make an impact and lessen our environmental footprint. Not only are these fuels formulated with renewable content, but they also produce substantially fewer emissions and even provide boaters with enhanced performance and reliability. This is a win-win for boaters, the industry, and the environment,” added Blakely.

With its bold graphics, this Sea Pro 259 was a floating billboard promoting sustainable fuels as it traveled up the U.S. East Coast via both open ocean waters and the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW).

It was piloted for the entire run by Nick Abraham and Matt Dugas — both Suzuki Marine endurance test captains based at the company’s U.S. Technical Center in Panama City, Florida. In addition, Suzuki Marine executives and three top boating journalists accompanied them on differ-

ent legs of the voyage.

Strategically placed stops to rest up and refuel were taken at key Suzuki Marine dealers along the route. Among the dealers involved in supporting this massive undertaking were Advance Marine of Jacksonville, Florida; Phil Dolan Yacht Sales of Savannah, Georgia; Cove

2 Coast Marine of Charleston, South Carolina; Coastal Marine of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; Marine Warehouse of Wilmington, North Carolina; Fort Macon Marine of Atlantic Beach, North Carolina; Bill’s Marine of Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina; Centerville Marine of Chesapeake, Virginia; Friday’s Marine of Saluda, Virginia and Newburg Marine of Newburg, Maryland.

Those on the voyage encountered the range of conditions one might expect over such a long trip covering six states. Some days, it flew along at 35 plus mph through flat calm ocean waters. On other days, the adventurers had to battle high winds, spray, and steep, closely spaced swells that required constant attention to the throttle.

Through it all, the fuel and Suzuki DF140 outboards performed flawlessly with instant starting, strong acceleration across the powerband, and great top-end speed. Fuel efficiency was also excellent, particularly considering the wide range of operating conditions. The boat logged 941.5 miles while burning 479 gallons of EcoGen90 fuel — just a tick under two mpg in a 26-foot deep vee center console with twin 140 outboards.

In addition to running the entire 940-plus miles on this new EcoFuel blend, these twin DF140 outboards were equipped with Suzuki’s now-standard Micro Plastic Collecting Device. These devices, which are integrated into the outboards’ cooling systems, were checked and cleaned regularly throughout the journey, with the bits of collected microplastic pollution being sent to Suzuki in Japan for review and analysis.

“This voyage was an important first step. We look forward to working closely with NMMA during ABC to shine a spotlight on new sustainable marine fuels and the positive impact they can have on our industry and the environment,” said Blakely. “I want to thank VP Racing and our many dealers who supported and participated in this important effort. Suzuki will continue to focus on removing microplastic pollution from our waters, reducing the use of plastics across our business, and spearheading grassroots efforts to clean up our coastlines as part of our CLEAN OCEAN PROJECT initiative.”

What Choosing the Ventura Yacht Club Means

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

VENTURA — A yacht club is there for those who enjoy social clubs centered around the sport of boating and the world of yachting.

The Ventura Yacht Club was founded in 1938 and headquartered at the Ventura Pier from 1949 to 1959, before the days of the Ventura and Channel Islands Harbors. Today’s clubhouse was built in 1967—the first building in Ventura Harbor.

T he VYC offers several amenities, such as a restaurant and bar available to members and their guests, with full services on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During the “Wet Wednesday” series, the club also provides dinner for r acers, members, and their guests. For members, wet- and dry-storage space is available among the club’s 91-slip marina, kayak and dinghy racks, and storage yards to the north and south ends of the property. Additionally, laundromat facilities are available to VYC members and v isitors of the guest dock.

Ventura Yacht Club has offered youth sailing programs since its inception. It annually hosts spring and summer youth sailing camps, numerous youth and adult races (including a 150-person youth event every November and a “Wet Wednesday” racing series from April through September), our “Opening Day” in April, and an Open House in May. Currently, the VYC Youth Sailing Program is open to the public and accommodates those ages 8

– 18. In the last few years, the program’s growth has allowed VYC to become a year-round program offering monthly-hosted weekend events for youth sailors to experience the joy of sailing. Established in 2022, the Spring Break Camp offers a chance for new students to preview what a summer commitment would entail while also granting them substantial growth in sailing skills during the five-day class. For decades, VYC has hosted a nine-week-long Summer Camp, empowering thousands of kids with skills t hat last them a lifetime. The larger camps offered are based on the Ventura Unified School calendar.

The Ventura Yacht Club is complete with a 223’ guest dock equipped with multiple water hoses and electrical shore power connections. The dock is made available to members, and the club offers reciprocal privileges to members of other participating yacht clubs. Utilized by over one hundred guests every year, VYC provides a visiting point for those moving along the coast and a haven for those caught by unfavorable conditions— boats with a beam of 16’ or wider must be granted permission beforehand due to member-owned vessels needing space to maneuver out of their slips.

VYC also has a monthly newsletter, The Forecast, that provides information ranging from its list of Flag Officers a nd Board Members to contact information for the club itself. Ads for club events, member-owned businesses, and a few other harbor-based businesses also

dot the pages. But the core of the newsletter highlights member- and staff-written articles. The Bridge, Membership C ommittee, Social Committee, and Junior Programs publish articles to keep memberships updated on the latest activities and upcoming events at the Ventura Yacht Club. A current copy is given t o all visitors interested in membership at VYC.

The Ventura Yacht Club, upon its founding, was known as the Ventura County Boat Club (VCBC). For the first two decades, with no official clubhouse or marina to support one, members of the VCBC had no reason to change the name. However, “Perhaps confident that

the Ventura Marina would soon be a reality . . . members began to discuss changing the name of the Club to the Ventura Yacht Club. In January 1960, the discussion ended with members voting to officially change the name” (Mercer, 2021). Upon the completion of the marina on July 16, 1963, members’ hopes of having a clubhouse were then also within reach.

Those interested in becoming a member of the Ventura Yacht Club are encouraged to call ahead and drop by to get information on membership options and to receive a guided tour of our house and grounds.

The Ventura Yacht Club, originally known as the Ventura County Boat Club, was organized in 1938, and in 2013, it celebrated its 75th anniversary.

2022 Recreational Boating Statistics

By: LOG STAFF

During the National Boating Safety Advisory Committee (NBSAC)meeting on May 11, the U.S. Coast Guard released a summary of statistics on the c alendar year 2022 recreational boating incidents, showing that there were 636 boating fatalities nationwide in 2022, a 3.3 percent decrease from the 658 deaths in 2021.

From 2021-22, the total number of accidents decreased by nine percent, going f rom 4,439 to 4,040, and the number of non-fatal injured victims decreased by 15.9 percent, from 2,641 to 2,222.

A lcohol was once again the leading known contributing factor in fatal boating accidents in 2022, accounting for 88 deaths, or 16 percent of total fatalities.

The data also shows that in 2022:

• The fatality rate was 5.4 deaths per 100,000 registered recreational vessels. This rate represents a 1.8 percent decrease from last year’s fatality rate of 5.5 deaths per 100,000 registered recreational vessels. (In 1971, when the Safe Boating Act was first passed, the fatality rate was 20.6 deaths per 100,000 registered recreational vessels.)

• P roperty damage totaled $63 million.

• Operator inattention, inexperience, improper lookout, excessive speed, and machinery failure ranked as the top five contributing factors in accidents.

Where the cause of death was known,

75 percent of fatal boating incident victims drowned. Of those drowning victims with reported life jacket u sage, 85 percent were not wearing a life jacket.

“Most incidents occur in benign conditions—calm waters, light wind, and good visibility—under which y ou may least expect to end up in the water, which is why it is critical to wear a life jacket and engine cut-off switch at all times as they are designed to save your l ife,” stated Captain Troy Glendye, C hief of the Coast Guard’s Office of Auxiliary and Boating Safety. In addition, the Coast Guard reminds boaters to ensure life jackets are s erviceable, adequately sized, correctly fastened, and suitable for their activity.

Where boating instruction was known, 74 percent of deaths occurred on vessels where the operator had not received boating safety instruction. Therefore, the Coast Guard encourages all b oaters to take a boating safety course that meets the National Boating Education Standards before boating.

Ventura Local is Successfully Selling Sustainable Fishing Practices

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

VENTURA — Sustainable fishing means leaving enough fish in the ocean, respecting habitats, and ensuring that people who depend on fishing can maintain their livelihoods.

Ventura local Ben Hyman, the founder of Wild Local Seafood Co. has been commercial fishing and directly marketing fish to the public for 25 years. Hyman’s company is founded on the idea of an alternative approach to unsustainable and ecologically destructive fishing practices. Hyman spent two decades working on commercial fishing vessels, where he witnessed the lack of respect for the fish and the sport, prompting him to start making changes. He officially started Wild Local Seafood Co.10 years ago, because he wanted a company that embodied the way seafood should be...”all wild, local, and sustainable.”

“Sustainable fishing is catching fish that are scientifically managed by the government to ensure a future for the fishery,” said Hyman in an email to the Log. “On the west coast, there are a number of governmental organizations that set quotas, season, size restrictions, and more to ensure this. In a nutshell, sustainable fishing is using the best available science, techniques, and methods to ensure what you catch isn’t being overfished. Sustainable fishing goes deeper when we look at the impact of importing fish. Around ninety percent of the s eafood we eat in the U.S. is imported from other countries. How it’s caught or farmed with a lack of regulations and the huge carbon footprint it makes to get it here makes local seafood the best choice!”

Today, Wild Local Seafood Co. pro -

vides a connection between local fisherman and public members who have no opportunity to eat fresh and local seafood. Hyman does this by offering his seafood at his brick-and-mortar fish market in Ventura. He also sells to several restaurants, and people from Santa Barbara to the Long Beach area have access to Hyman’s booths at nine different farmer’s markets a week.

To learn from the poor habits of fishermen before him, Hyman has limited h is transportation miles and emissions with boating and driving to treat the environment better. In addition, Hyman can source fish from domestic waters but does not partake in selling fish caught internationally under non-sustainable practices.

A s well as fishing healthy populations, fisheries must show they manage their impacts on habitats and other marine species. Sustainable seafood is the planet’s most environmentally efficient source of protein and is a continuous journey. Unfortunately, traditional fishery management has motivated fishermen to catch as much as possible without regarding the long-term health of the fishery. Wild Local Seafood Co. Contributes to the new mindset and actions it takes to reverse the damage and improve the fishing industry for the sake of the Earth, animals, and business.

Hyman’s catches can be found at local farmer’s markets according to the schedule below:

• Wed. Main Santa Monica Farmers market 8 a.m.-1 p.m.

• Sat. Main Santa Monica Farmers Market 8 a.m.-1 p.m.

• Sat. Pico Santa Monica Farmers Market (Virginia Park) 8 a.m.-1 p.m.

• Sat. Santa Barbara Farmers Market 8 a.m.-1 p.m.

• Sun. Hollywood Farmers Market 8 a.m.-1 p.m.

• Sun. Mar Vista Farmers Market 9 a.m.-2 p.m.

• Sun. Marina Long Beach Farmers Market 9 a.m.-2 p.m.

• Wild Local Seafood Co Headquarters/Fish Market at 1559 Spinnaker Dr #105, Ventura, CA 93001, seven days a week, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

In addition to the business, Wild Local

Seafood Co. owns three boats that fish for lobster, crab, king salmon, snapper, tuna, halibut, white sea bass, groundfish, and more. On salmon trips, the crew may stay out as long as a week and travel hundreds of miles of a catch.

“People can do something good for the planet, local fisherman, and their health by eating our local fish offerings,” said Hyman. “It’s nice when you buy something that makes you good physically and psychologically!!”

BLUEFIN TUNA AND KELP-PADDY YELLOWTAIL INVADE U.S. WATERS!

By Bob Vanian of 976Bite.com

Peace Dive Boat is Peace in Ventura

By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS

VENTURA — Beneath the water’s surface is a different world not often seen. Located in Ventura is a 62-foot wooden-hulled boat built in December of 1972 called Peace Boat that brings us to that world. McCauley Boat Builders built the vessel as a fishing vessel originally. Rus Izor, a fishing tycoon in Southern California, commissioned it. One year later, the shipwright built the Truth with the intention of them being sister ships. The layouts of the two vessels are very similar; however, Izor decided to name it Peace instead after finding inspiration from the era of peace and love.

Stepping onboard the Peace is a ticket to the underwater scuba world that takes guests scuba and free diving to all eight Channel Islands and Cortes and Tanner Bank. Divers can find the California Moray eel, giant Black Sea bass, Garibaldi— the California state fish, sea lions, bat rays, kelp forests, and more on their underwater exploration.

Scuba diving is more than watching marine life thrive in its environment. It can broaden the mind and be a peaceful and tranquil experience for many. The Peace has been serving this experience for 35 years now. While those wish-

ing to participate in scuba diving must be certified, there are no worries if you’re not— snorkeling and free diving are comparable substitutes.

The 62-foot boat is complete with a compressor that pumps 40 cubic feet of air per minute, has 24 bunks, a full galley, a hot tub, Starlink Internet, a chase boat, and a swim step for easy diving.

• Bluefin tuna and yellowtail have been biting in offshore waters for a couple of months and in recent weeks the main area of fish has been holding in Mexican waters in a large zone ranging from some of the local offshore banks outside of Los Coronado Islands on down to the offshore banks below and outside of Ensenada. That scenario has dramatically changed in the past few days though as the main area of fish has moved in a westerly direction well into U.S. waters and is now being fished between the Butterfly Bank and San Clemente Island. More specifically, the best fishing currently being found to the southeast of the 81 Fathom Spot that is located off the back side of San Clemente Island.

• Areas that are currently producing bluefin and yellowtail include banks both in Mexican waters and U.S. waters that include the 81 Fathom Spot, the western wing tip of the Butterfly Bank, the area between the northern wing tip of the Butterfly Bank and the San Clemente Basin Weather Buoy, the San Salvador Knoll, the 224 Spot, the 230 Spot, the 302 Spot, the 371 Bank and the Upper Hidden Bank. What is also noteworthy is that some yellowtails are also starting to show up at areas more local to San Diego such as the 9 Mile Bank,

Trips are structured around intermediate scuba diving and journeys that don’t require breathing apparatuses.

Open boat trips are for divers who buy tickets directly from the Peace, but private charters are also available. Private charters are sold through local dive shops or clubs.

If you are a dive shop or club wishing to host a private charter, or for more information about open boat trips, please email info@peaceboat.com or visit https://peaceboat.com/.

the 182 Spot, 4 to 10 miles off La Jolla and the 312 Spot. Productive water temperatures have been in the 61.5-to-63.5-degree range

• The bluefin bite has been improving lately to where some near limit to limit catches are being posted among the overnight and multi-day sportboat fleet.

Full story will be found online. Bob Vanian is the voice, writer, and researcher of the San Diego-based internet fish report service called 976-Bite which can be found at www.976bite. com. Vanian also provides anglers with a personal fish report service over the telephone at (619) 226-8218. He always welcomes your fish reports at that same phone number or at bob976bite@aol. com.
