POSEIDON WATER’S DESALINATION PLAN: are there cracks in the armor?
DEAD FISH TURNING UP ON SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST AMID RED ALGAE BLOOM
S
cientists say the recent red tide event was unique in its visibility and length and is now causing dead fish to appear in harbors, bays and lagoons as the bloom degrades. Dead fish were reported in Redondo Beach’s King Harbor, lagoons in San Diego County and around the Baja California coast. P. 12
An ambitious, $1 billion proposal to build a desalination plant at Huntington Beach has been in the works for more than a decade. The proposal appears to be in the final stages of the permitting process, but a few members on the Regional Water Board appear to be a little apprehensive about Poseidon Water’s plan. P. 8

Drug kingpin’s ‘cocaine hippos’ may be having positive impact on ecosystem By Lindsey Glasgow COLOMBIA—Colombian drug lord Pablo
Escobar is known for his reign over illegal cocaine, eventually controlling more than 80 percent of the drug shipped to the U.S. Meanwhile, the so-called four “cocaine hippos” he brought into the country are making their own legacy. The non-native hippos were set free after his death in 1993 and there are now about 80 of them living in the wild. What the country should do with them has long been debated and they have been accused of wreaking havoc on the local ecosystem. A study published in the journal Ecology in January, led by Jonathan Shurin at the University of California, San Diego, found hippo poop was helping fertilize algae and bacteria in Colombian lakes and potentially contributing to problematic algal blooms. However, a study published in late March in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science presented evidence for the opposite, stating findings showing the invasive animals may “restore ecological functions” lost for thousands of years due to “human driven extinctions.”
Researchers said the creatures could be filling the biological role once played by extinct animals like giant llamas, mammoths, giant sloths and giant wombats during the Late Pleistocene period about 116,000 to 11,000 years ago. For the study scientists analyzed the ecological impacts of 427 large herbivores weighing at least 22 pounds that lived between 130,000 years ago and the present day, to see if ailing ecosystems that were once populated by herbivores could be restored to health if big herbivores came back. In Colombia, the renegade hippos “present a chimera of multiple extinct species’ trait combinations,” the study authors wrote. “Many introduced herbivores restore trait combinations that have the capacity to influence ecosystem processes, such as wildfire and shrub expansion in drylands,” the study authors wrote. “Although introduced species have long been a source of contention, our findings indicate that they may, in part, restore ecological functions reflective of the past several million years before widespread human-driven extinctions.”
A new study says the nearly 80 hippos living in the wild in Colombia because of Pablo Escobar could be filling the biological role once played by extinct animals like giant llamas, mammoths, giant sloths and giant wombats during the Late Pleistocene period about 116,000 to 11,000 years ago.

Letters/Online Comments RE: “Channel Islands Harbor to re-open boat launch ramp” (MAY 1-14) Enough is enough, it’s time for legal action against the County of Ventura for violation of 1st amendment’s rights. All Governmental agencies are trying to re-write our Constitution whereas we have the right for “Peaceable Assembly”. Nowhere does it state restrictions. I understand we have a national problem with this virus, however look at the numbers in Ventura County???? They don’t add up to a crisis. Write to your representatives both locally and nationally, if they don’t respond to what the people want then it’s time to remove them from office and elect representatives for the people. The launch ramp is PUBLIC and should not have restrictions when they are NOT necessary. STOP THIS NON SENSE! — C Allen
RE: “Trout opener on hold after CDFW authorizes suspension/ delay of recreational fishing” (MAY 1-14) Another case for making a license valid for one year from the day you purchase it. Make it happen, and refund anyone who asks for one. Extraordinary circumstances after all. — Mike Whitmore
RE: “Ventura County lifts hours restriction at Channel Islands Harbor Boat Launch Ramp” (MAY 1-14)
What a ripoff! Daytime boat launch fees in Orange County are $10 at present whereas Channel Islands Harbor seems to think an overnight fee of $19 is justified despite that in 2017, these overnight fees were only $15. Price gouging in the age of COVID-19 by our governments, incredible. — Bob Cintilla

FAST FACTS
What’s in a Name: John Peck Stearns By Parimal M. Rohit SANTA BARBAR A —Anyone strolling, biking
or driving past the intersection of E. Cabrillo Boulevard and State Street at the coastal edge of Downtown Santa Barbara will notice a dolphin-themed fountain, standing tall as cars, pedestrians and cyclists pass by on just about every angle. Just south of the fountain (and a short boat ride away from the local harbor) is Stearns Wharf, Santa Barbara’s iconic pier. The wharf is named after John Peck Stearns, who came to Santa Barbara in 1867 with the intention to open a lumber mill. The intention came to reality, with Stearns building his mill at the end of State Street. Necessity, of course, is the mother of inventions – and Stearns found himself with a predicament: he had a mill, but no one had the practical means to access it. This was the 1860s, after all. The 101 didn’t exist, the Civil War came to an end just two years before Stearns’s arrival in
S TA N D I N G
Santa Barbara, California was relatively new as a state and the bustling metropolitan cities of Los Angeles and San Diego were decades (if not a full century) away from arriving. Santa Barbara was a remote town, which means Stearns needed to build certain infrastructure if he wanted his mill to thrive. The city did not have a railroad or landing pier. Cargo came from ships to land via rowboats. A small pier did come online in 1868, but it didn’t extend into deeper waters to allow ships to dock. Stearns apparently offered to extend the wharf but was met with resistance. So, Stearns put a plan in place to build his own wharf – and build it, he did. The wharf came online in 1872 and became the longest deep-water pier not in Los Angeles or San Francisco. Stearns Wharf is California’s oldest working wood wharf. It measures 2,300 feet in length and is supported by 2,307 pilings. The wharf, when it was built, was financially backed by Col. William Welles Hollister, coincidentally the patriarch of Hollister Ranch.
WAT C H
IS THERE A DEFICIENCY IN HARBOR AND WATERCRAFT REVOLVING FUND?
Boating industry leaders demand information about the fund before budgetary decisions are made for the new fiscal year, which begins on July 1. By Parimal M. Rohit STATEWIDE—Budgetary hearings for California’s 2020-2021 fiscal year are right around the corner. A seemingly boring and routine matter – the California Constitution requires a state budget be completed annually by June 15, with the fiscal year beginning about two weeks later on July 1 – actually takes center stage for boaters. What happens in the next two to four weeks could have substantial repercussions for California’s boaters, according to Recreational Boaters of California (RBOC)
and other industry advocates. California’s Department of Parks and Recreation – aka State Parks – reportedly has at least one proposal (and perhaps more) to revise the state’s Harbor and Watercraft Revolving Fund (HWRF). A position paper published on RBOC’s website stated the proposal(s) would revise the HWRF “in a process and with substantive provisions that could be detrimental to the state’s boating community.” At heart of the issue/question posed by RBOC and other industry leaders: whether there is a deficiency in the HWRF.

Recreational rental businesses at Channel Islands Harbor re-open to the public WHAT HAPPENED: Ventura County’s health office gave recreational rental businesses at Channel Islands Harbor the green light to re-open and operate, it was announced on May 16. Ventura County Public Health Officer Dr. Robert Levin amended his Stay Safe at Home Order on May 15 to allow visitors at Channel Islands Harbor to rent boats, electric boats, jet skis, kayaks, standup paddleboards and bicycles. The four recreational rental companies at Channel Islands Harbor are: Care Free Boat Rentals (boats); Channel Islands Kayak Center (kayaks, standup
paddleboards); Hopper Boat Rentals (electric boats, kayaks, standup paddleboards); and, Southern California Jet Skis & Electric Boats (jet skis, electric boats, bicycles, surreys). WHAT’S ON TAP: Each of the businesses were required to submit a plan, ensuring the safety of customers and employees. Mark Sandoval, Ventura County’s Harbor Department director, said his office worked with the business owners to develop and execute compliance plans. The rental businesses are required to have proper signage, train employees on social distancing, sanitize equipment before each use, pre-book customers online and/or over the phone as much as possible, and

limit multi-person rental equipment to members of the same household. Allowing the rental businesses to re-open almost two weeks before Memorial Day weekend would benefit the storefronts and customers alike, according to Sandoval. “Most of the recreational rental businesses are family-owned and operated and May represents a pivotal time of the year for them. I’m confident they will succeed while following these new guidelines,” Sandoval said in a released statement.
TowBoatUS predicted busy waterways during Memorial Day Weekend
WHAT HAPPENED: The gradual re-opening of the country, in light of Covid-19-themed forced isolations, means boating traffic is on the rise – especially with temperatures slowly but surely rising as we approach summer.
TowBoatUS, accordingly, predicted boaters would hit the waterways in record numbers during Memorial Day weekend. “While there are some locations where recreational boating hasn’t quite returned yet, those will be the exception this Memorial Day weekend,” BoatUS Vice President of Towing Services John Condon said. “Boating is an approved activity and boaters are social distancing, so we believe they will be on the water in a big way, trying to get to back to what’s familiar and enjoyable with the family.” Condon predicted calls for assistance would be up by 20 percent during Memorial Day weekend, an estimate he stated was “conservative.” WHAT’S ON TAP: Reports of actual call data from Memorial Day weekend, if made available to the press, will be published on thelog.com, as to update this story.

Cannes Yachting Festival to go on
Hospital ship Mercy departs Los Angeles harbor
CANNES, FRANCE—The Cannes Yachting Festival, one of Europe’s largest in-water shows, will go on as planned Sept. 8-13. Organizers announced the 43rd iteration of the festival will take place this fall. “Although the offices have been closed since the confinement period, thanks to the new tools deployed internationally by the Reed Exhibitions Group, the team has taken care to adapt its organization to ensure that the preparation of this 43rd edition can continue smoothly. All staff, based in France and abroad, remain mobilized and are working remotely with commitment and enthusiasm to ensure the success of the next yachting festival,” festival organizers said in a released statement. Founded in 1977, the Cannes Boat Show takes place every September and showcases almost 600 boats, including motor yachts, superyachts, catamarans, tenders and sailing yachts. The in-water show in the Bay of Cannes takes place in two of the city’s ports, the Vieux Port and Port Pierre Canto. “Our action is also guided by full compliance with the health measures recommended to restrict the spread of the coronavirus. Reed Expositions France is also participating actively in the work carried out by UNIMEV, the professional federation of the events industry, to draw up protective measures for trade fairs that will be submitted to the French government,” organizers said in a released statement.
LOS ANGELES (AP) —A Navy hospital ship that came to the Port of Los Angeles to help the region during the coronavirus crisis departed May 15. Tugs pulled the Mercy away from its dock shortly after 7 a.m. and the vessel headed south down the coast. The Mercy arrived at the end of March to provide beds for non-coronavirus cases to take the load off regional medical centers expecting a surge of COVID-19 patients. “Having successfully decompressed the health care delivery system in the Los Angeles region,” the Mercy will return to its home port in San Diego, said a statement by the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. Some medical personnel from the ship will remain in the Los Angeles area. The Mercy, with 1,000 hospital beds and giant red crosses on its sides, was welcomed by Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Eric Garcetti as officials predicted hospitals could see a surge of COVID-19 cases. However, Los Angeles hasn’t been overrun with virus cases, and so the Mercy didn’t play a huge role as a safety net. For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness and lead to death, and nursing homes have been hit hard.

Fishing charters, watercraft rentals to resume at NJ shore TRENTON, NEW JERSEY (AP) —Fishing
charters and other chartered boat services and watercraft rentals were cleared to resume at the New Jersey shore beginning May 17 amid easing of coronavirus restrictions. Gov. Phil Murphy said May 16 that specific social distancing and sanitation measures will be required, including phone and online payments to lessen person-to-person contact. All passenger and customer logs must be maintained for the purpose of contact training should that be required, Murphy said. “Even with social distancing, we are confident that everyone can have a safe and memorable summer,” the governor said. Murphy said easing of some restrictions would be allowed by an improving health situation, especially in hospitals, where the impact of COVID19 could best be tracked. “Across the board, every metric we have followed is showing us that we can move forward,” he said, citing improvement in new hospitalizations, the number of patients in hospitals, patients in intensive care units and those on ventilators. The governor also announced another 115 deaths, bringing the statewide total to 10,249 associated with the coronavirus.

Maritime Museum announced its flagship Ranger, which was one of the Classic Yacht Association’s (CYA) charter members, has now rejoined the association’s Southern California Fleet. The fleet includes member boats from Santa Barbara to San Diego. Ranger is a genuine, classic big-game fishing yacht, the first private fishing yacht built on the west coast and the flagship of the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. Built in 1917 by Fellows and Stewart in Wilmington, she was made to the specifications of Jimmy Jump, a founding member of the Catalina Island Tuna Club. For many years, Ranger served as the flagship of the Tuna Club. Twenty-six trophy-winning fish were caught from Ranger; and two of its records still stand: the largest yellow fin tuna and the largest broad bill swordfish. Over the years, celebrities such as Humphrey Bogart, Zane Grey, John Wayne, and Errol Flynn fished from Ranger, and the vessel has been used for photoshoots by Lands End and Kevin Costner.

HUNTINGTON BEACH—Marine life mitigation, the need for desalinated water in Orange County and the overall merits of Poseidon Water’s plan to build a $1 billion desalination plant in Huntington Beach were some of the main talking points of a 10-hour virtual workshop, held on May 15. Highlighting the marathon of a workshop: pointed questions about the merits of Poseidon’s proposal and its value to Orange County Water District’s (OCWD) member agencies. The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board, or Water Board, was supposed to hold this workshop in March, but it was delayed to May 15 because of the Coronavirus pandemic. It was the Water Board’s second workshop on the proposed desalination plant in Huntington Beach. The other workshop was held in December 2019. The Water Board is slated to vote on a permit to allow the Poseidon desalination proposal to move forward on July 31

Poseidon Water’s Desalination Plan:
Are There Cracks in the
Armor?
A Regional Water Board vote on the desalination plant in Huntington Beach could be filed within the next two months, but is the project on thin ice after several questions and concerns were raised during a virtual workshop? By Parimal M. Rohit
THE PLAN About 12 acres of land would be used to treat saltwater, through a reverse osmosis treatment, at the AES plant in Huntington Beach. Two gallons of seawater would have to be processed through the plant to produce one gallon of potable water. The plant, as a whole, would produce 50 million gallons of potable water per day for Orange County ratepayers. The intake system, which is located 1,650 feet offshore and equipped with one-millimeter wedge-wire screens, would collect 106.7 million gallons of seawater per day. About 56.7 million gallons of brine wastewater would be discharged from the plant. The discharge pipe is located 1,500 feet offshore and would be equipped with a linear, multiport diffuser.
THE PARTIES – AND THEIR CONCERNS Poseidon Water already has a desalination plant up and running in Carlsbad, so this would be the company’s second operation – assuming its plans are allowed to move forward. One of the sticking points: the purchaser. Poseidon’s plan calls for producing $1 billion of desalinated water over 50 years and selling it to OCWD. The water district would then provide the water to ratepayers. One of the biggest concerns raised during the May 15 workshop was OCWD’s role as the buyer of Poseidon’s desalinat-
ed water. Board members – in addition to asking specific questions about the need for desalinated water and raising concerns about environmental aspects of the project – wondered if OCWD, which acts as a wholesaler, had sufficient distribution in place to move the water. An inability to distribute the desalinated water to OCWD’s member agencies could result in higher rates for customers – all while the extra supply of water ends up being stored in the ground. At least four of the six Water Board members must vote in favor of the proposal for it to move forward to its final stages. The California Coastal Commission also has to be on board with the project.
THE WORKSHOP A workshop on the proposed Poseidon desalination plant was held in December 2019, and several concerns were raised, such as whether there is an identified need for desalination water. Compliance issues at the Poseidon desalination plant in Carlsbad, which is already operational, was another concern. What alternatives exists for intake
systems? What are the cost comparisons for those alternatives? What are the details of the proposed Marine Life Mitigation Plan and other (possibly) available environmental data? California’s Ocean Plan Amendment, according to a Water Boards staff presentation, does appear to lay the groundwork for Poseidon Water and Huntington Beach to establish an identifiable need for a desalination plant. A section of the Ocean Plan Amendment specifically reads: “Consider whether the identified need for desalinated water is consistent with an applicable adopted urban water management plan prepared in accordance with Water Code section 10631, or if no urban water management plan is available, other water planning documents such as a county general plan or integrated regional water management plan.” Water Board staff said the proposed desalination plant in Huntington Beach – and it’s 50 million gallons per day of potable water production – is “consistent with the applicable urban water management plans and other water planning documents.”
A SNIPPET OF THE FEEDBACK Huntington Beach resident Nancy
“This landfill is a toxic nightmare to the residents who live near it” Huntington Beach resident Nancy Buchoz wrote in a letter.
Buchoz sent a letter to the Water Board, in lieu of attending the virtual workshop. She stated the desalination plant would be located near Ascon Landfill, a property she claims is “home to 38 acres of toxic chemicals, including some of the most dangerous chemicals for human beings.” “This landfill is a toxic nightmare to the residents who live near it,” Buchoz wrote in her letter. “Please understand, there are actual human beings living within 100 feet of both the proposed Poseidon site and the proposed Poseidon pipeline that will expose Huntington Beach residents to more dangers, as the migration of the 70-year-old Ascon landfill continues.” Nathalie Carrillo of Azul, an interest group opposed to saltwater conversion facilities, submitted an infographic, explaining the reasons to oppose the building of a desalination plant in Huntington Beach. The infographic said desalination plants are too expensive, is energy intensive, kills marine life, takes too long to bring online (from construction to completion), and “takes funding away from better options.” Scott Maloni, who presented to the Water Board on behalf of Poseidon Water, said the proposed desalination plant is “scientifically sound” and “legally defensible.” Ora nge C ou nt y Wat er D i st r ic t (OCWD) General Manager Michael R. Markus urged the Water Board to consider a wide range of options to address future water security. “The OCWD Board of Directors works to provide water supplies to 2.5 million residents. Due to the uncertainties of future available water supplies … the board needs to evaluate a range of water supply projects to ensure the water reliability of its service territory,” Markus wrote in a letter to the Water Boards.
WHAT’S NEXT? A deeper analysis of the May 15 workshop will be featured in an upcoming issue of The Log, most likely in late June or early July. The Water Board is scheduled to finally vote on a necessary permit on July 31 – though that could change. Updates on the Water Board’s plans will be reported by The Log as soon as they are made available.

Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach is moving their celebration online and will host virtual events throughout the day in honor of World Oceans Day.
By Lindsey Glasgow WORLDWIDE—On June 8, people and
organizations around the world will celebrate the planet’s oceans and efforts to protect them in celebration of World Oceans Day. The United Nations officially recognized June 8 as World Oceans Day in 2008 and it has been celebrated worldwide since. The World Oceans Day website states they are “uniting conservation action to grow the global movement calling on world leaders to protect 30% of our blue planet by 2030.” With large, in-person events off calendar, two local aquariums that had planned events for World Oceans Day are moving festivities online. Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach was set to host an event for visitors to learn about climate change, ocean pollution and other ocean issues through films, shows and exhibits. The aquarium is now hosting a free virtual event on June 8. The event will feature regular live streaming sessions throughout the day on Facebook; a special World Ocean Day episode of the Aquarium’s humorous and
educational news show hosted by the Pacific Pals puppets; and aquarium online academy classes with some added bonus features, like behind the scenes information and sharing ocean artwork. No RSVPs or tickets are required to tune into the live stream, which can be accessed at aquariumofpacific.org/news/ aquariumacademy/. The aquarium is also encouraging people to participate by drawing a picture, making a collage or chalk art showing their favorite ocean animal, habitat or conservation action. Post it on social media with the hashtag #AOPWorldOceanDay. Similarly, Birch Aquarium at Scripps in San Diego was set to host an event focusing on the global challenge of plastic pollution. “Join us for a day of hands-on activities including exploration stations, a scavenger hunt, and Scripps Oceanography researchers sharing plastic collected on research expeditions,” the event description read. Birch Aquarium was also planning to bring festivities online but details were not available when this paper went to press. For updates, visit aquarium.ucsd.edu/ events/2020/world-oceans-day-2020.

A Whole New World: Returning to Life, Post-Covid-19 Cities, counties and states are starting to re-open. Life is slowly starting to resume again. What’s going on at our local marinas? Parimal M. Rohit and Kevin Davis chat about progress in Long Beach.
& masks? It’s hit or miss. PMR : What’s the temperature of the room? KD: Temperature of the room is heating up. People are ready to get back to their norm. PMR: Are people worried about re-opening? Too soon? KD: I believe most people are eager for businesses to re-open, the businesses themselves especially. What it will be like is anyone’s guess. Was forced isolation too much? For some perhaps. However, we’re a resilient nation. We will overcome.
PMR: Open ended question – What do you think is the new normal at Shoreline, going forward? KD: That’s a tough question. I anticipate guidelines we will all have to adhere to i.e. wearing masks, standing apart, number of customers in an establishment, etc. The “new normal,” as it’s called, will hopefully be short lived.
By Parimal M. Rohit
PMR: What does life look like once things are allowed to be business as usual? KD: Hopefully much of the same as it was prior to the pandemic.
LONG BEACH —Memorial Day Weekend 2020 just came and went, which means
it’s the unofficial start of summer. Boating season is usually a year-round affair in Southern California, but the final weekend of May is the official marker of a summer on the water. The Covid-19 pandemic has changed things, of course, making this year’s Memorial Day Weekend more symbolic. Marinas and harbors are starting to re-open, as Coronavirus-themed restrictions and forced isolation measures slowly being peeled back by city, county and state officials in mid-May. The Log’s Parimal M. Rohit and Kevin Davis had a quick conversation about life at Long Beach’s Shoreline Harbor. Davis is a liveaboard at Shoreline. He shares some perspective with Rohit about how things are looking from his point of view.

Parimal M. Rohit: Harbors and marinas appear to be opening back up. What’s the situation at Rainbow and Shoreline? Is there more activity on the docks? Are there more people on the waterfront? Have the parking lots opened up yet? Kevin Davis: At this time most of the restaurants and bars are still offering takeout only. The ice cream shop has been opened (thumbs up), and the bike rental place opened this past weekend. Is there more activity on the docks? Yes! Much more activity. The nice weather has been helping. People want to get out and socialize. This past weekend a ton more people were on their boats and on the docks. Are there more people on the waterfront? Yes, the walking and bike path are now officially open. You see much more traffic. Have the parking lots opened up yet? Public parking is still closed. Rainbow Harbor parking is open for pick up/takeout. PMR: What about the local businesses? What have you observed?
KD: Businesses doing the best they can considering the circumstances. Most of the businesses in Rainbow Harbor are destination points. It’s been rough on ‘em. PMR: Have you noticed any of them going out of business, basically as a result of the pandemic? KD: Not that I’m aware of ... fingers Crossed all of ‘em pull through. PMR: Have you noticed any differences in the way people are going about their affairs at and around the marina? KD: Many observe social distancing practices, i.e. wearing masks, standing apart. However, many do not.
PMR: Could you share with us how you’ve managed these past few weeks? KD: We have been able to weather the past few week’s just fine. I’ve been lucky to have a job that allows me to work remotely, it takes up a big part of my M-F life. PMR: What has it been like being isolated on your boat? Have you experienced cabin fever? KD: Cabin fever is real. The first couple weeks the weather outside was crummy. So, we were in the cabin a lot. It gets old. You binge watch TV, you have a tendency to eat more and drink more. You find yourself asking the dogs and cat their opinions. We did find ourselves finally getting to a number of boat chores we’d put off. However, now that the weather is nice, we’re outside a lot more, working out, eating better, still drinking as much if not more, watching the sunsets. We took off sailing [during a weekend in mid-May]. The weather was great, and the wind was perfect. Swells could have been little less. The dogs and cat did not have their sea legs.
PMR: What are the social interactions like on the docks nowadays?
PMR: What things did you do to maintain a daily routine without being a health threat to the world around you?
KD: During the week it is pretty quiet. The weekend – well let’s just say, people are ready to get out and socialize. Same as before, but just with social distancing
KD: I’ve tried to keep as much of a normal routine as possible. However, since we are limited we find alternatives. We adapt and overcome. It’s a lot like sailing.

Standing Watch From page 4
“Boating stakeholders are being informed that there is a deficiency in the HWRF and that significant revisions are being considered to the boating programs and services that it funds, as well as the sources or amounts of revenues paid into the fund,� RBOC staff stated in its online position paper. The RBOC position paper was posted online on May 4. RBOC staff conceded it did not have specifics of any proposal sitting in front of state officials. The Log, just the same, does not have a confirmation or denial of whether the state is considering any changes to the HWRF before the constitutional deadline of June 15. There is still concern, however, some changes could be in store, with the governor’s budget revisions this month. (Details of the revisions, if any, were not obtained before press time.) Several boating and outdoors organizations reached out to State Parks Director Lisa Mangat on May 4, requesting answers to various questions, ahead of budgetary proceedings. Signatories on the letter represented organizations, such as RBOC, Marine Recreation Association, National Marine Manufacturers Association, Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Association, American Sportfishing Association, California Striped Bass Association and California Yacht Brokers Association. “To date, we have received no specifics regarding any proposals despite a Constitutional deadline for a completed budget of June 15th,� the letter stated. “We are concerned that action could be taken in the very near future in conjunction with the release of the Governor’s May Budget Revise, with an accelerated calendar for consideration and adoption of the upcoming state budget for the fiscal year that commences on July 1.� The letter, which boasted about 800,000 registered boats supporting a $17 billion per year economy in California, specifically asked questions or posed statements in six categories.
The questions asked and statements posed were: “How can the public best receive accurate information from DBW regarding its operations, programs and funds including the HWRF? Would it be possible to work with Parks to pull this data together in an easily digestible format that we could share with our members?â€? “Some of the HW R F f unding is spent on programs of questionable value to California’s boating community. In other cases, HWRF funding is exclusively used for programs that clearly have other interested stakeholders who are not carrying their weight. HWRF funds are spent on the beach erosion program. Our groups would ask how a program like this is of direct benefit to boaters?â€? “Some partners are experiencing challenges in access and working with DBW to receive public funding from HWRF programs. Can the processes for the following programs be revised to re-create interest and applications, and expedite approvals process?â€? “How can our groups work with the Division and Department work proactively to identify and address current and future boater needs? For example, can non-motorized vessels that benefit from state programs and services be asked to participate financially?â€? “With regard to the Boating and Waterways Commission, what is the current status of the commission appointees? Is the COVID crisis presenting obstacles to allowing a quorum of the commission to meet on a regular basis?â€? “With regard to the location of commission meetings ‌ could attendance and participation by affected communities be improved by locating more meetings in the Sacramento region? The HRWF, for clarity, does not receive General Fund dollars. Answers to the questions posed above, according to RBOC and other organizations, would keep boaters in the loop as to how money that is supposed to be available to them is being used – and whether such funds would continue to be available to the state’s boating industry.

DEAD FISH TURNING UP ON SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST AMID
RED ALGAE BLOOM
Scientists say the recent red tide event was unique in its visibility and length and is now causing dead fish to appear in harbors, bays and lagoons as the bloom degrades.

By Lindsey Glasgow REDONDO BEACH —The large red algae
bloom spanning from Los Angeles to Baja that tinted coastal waters a rusty brown and turned waves neon by night, is now starting to degrade and is causing fish die offs in some places. In mid-May, dead fish were reported in Redondo Beach’s King Harbor, lagoons in San Diego County and around the Baja coast. “We don’t have a way to monitor that extensively at every beach so we’re kind of relying on people to send us reports,” said Clarissa Anderson, the Executive Director of Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System or SCCOOS. “It’s not going to be a continuous stream all the way down; it’s going to be patchy.” Also known as a red tide, a bloom occurs when a particular species of phytoplankton begin reproducing rapidly, resulting in millions of cells in each gallon of water. While red tides are not unusual in Southern California, particularly in early
spring and later summer, not all phytoplankton species produce visible blooms such as this. SCCOOS said what was unique about the recent event was the incredibly high biomass that led to a very intense red/brown water during the day and the bioluminescence at night for weeks on end. SCCOOS said most red tides in California only last one or two weeks, while this event has lasted upwards of two months. SCCOOS first captured images of the early stages of a spring phytoplankton bloom from a robotic microscope deployed on a mooring on the continental shelf offshore of Del Mar in late March. The bright neon waves persisted near Scripps Pier and some other areas through much of May. SCCOOS also said Southern California saw the highest cell numbers of L. polyedra phytoplankton ever recorded at Scripps Pier with 9 million cells per liter on April 27th; the previous maximum was a little less than 1 million cells per liter. Scientists also measured the highest chlorophyll concentrations since the Scripps Pier Chlorophyll Program began in 1983.

that was the perfect storm for the oxygen to get drawn down to really low levels and kill fish and particularly the critters that can’t get away,” Anderson said. SCCOOS said this effect is amplified in semi-enclosed areas such as harbors, bays and lagoons. With little exchange with the ocean and reduced mixing with the atmosphere, those areas experience even lower oxygen. SCCOOS/SIO said researchers will be analyzing samples to try to better understand the causes and variability of the die-offs, including investigating the possibility of toxins. “We saw some of the animals in aquariums dying even when oxygen was being See RED BLOOM page 15

“There’s a lot of things to consider from the phytoplankton ecology side to the physics to the fact that we had a 400 percent above normal precipitation in the weeks leading up and going into it, we had a lot of upwelling, there’s just so many things that happened,” Anderson said. Oxygen can become depleted in the water as the bloom decays, which can lead to the death of fish and invertebrates, which has been the case with the recent bloom. Light penetration into the water can also be reduced by more than 95 percent, affecting kelp growth, reproduction, and recruitment. “The fact that it got so big and went on for so long, when it started to degraded,

COASTAL COMMISSION COMMITS TO SEA LEVEL RISE PRINCIPLES Non-regulatory guidelines could help California’s agencies pursue streamlined solutions to predicted sea level rise scenarios.
By Parimal M. Rohit
STATEWIDE—Sea level rise continues to
be a hot topic of discussion for members of the California Coastal Commission. Commissioners and staff members spent a chunk of the May 13 meeting dedicated to discussing what the commission and other state agencies need to do in order to address the prospects of sea level rise in a unified and streamlined manner. The discussion specifically revolved around a Coastal Commission staff recommendation to adopt sea level rise planning principles. There are six major principles, which were explained in a document, “Making California’s Coast Resilient to Sea Level Rise: Principles for Aligned State Action.” The six principles of sea level rise: develop and utilize best available science; build coastal resilience partnerships; improve coastal resilience communications; support local leadership and address local conditions; strengthen alignment around coastal resilience; and, implement and learn from coastal resilience projects. “These six principles will support and enhance California’s ongoing efforts related to climate change mitigation and adaption,” Ainsworth said. Ainsworth added the six principles would allow the state to be efficient and consistent in how it addresses sea level rise with the involvement of multiple agencies. “These principles are consistent and complementary to the Coastal Commission’s ongoing effort to address sea
level rise. Adoption of these principles will support and enhance the commission’s efforts to work with local governments, state agencies, tribes, members of the public and [others],” Ainsworth continued. The executive director added the six principles are not regulations. Several state agencies could be attached to the “principles for aligned state action.” Those agencies include the Coastal Commission, California Natural Resources Agency, California Energy Commission, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Department of Water Resources, Ocean Protection Council, State Coastal Conservancy, State Lands Commission, State Parks and State Water Resources Control Board. Coastal Commission staff, in a report to commissioners, said the collection of state agencies view the state’s coast, bays and estuaries as at risk of sea level rise – as much as 7 feet or more by 2100. The six principles presented to the Coastal Commission on May 13 called for the development and utilization of best available science, using a “minimum target of 3.5 feet of sea level rise by 2050.” Questions abound about the basis of 3.5 feet of sea level rise by 2050. “The Principles for Aligned State Action also include a target of 3.5 feet of sea level rise by 2050 for planning purposes, which sets a precautionary minimum baseline and which will provide a metric by which to measure statewide progress on adapting to sea level rise,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners. The Coastal Commission staff report also explained the lack of planning and adaptation could have negative results. “Without planning and adaptation, future sea level rise will result in significant impacts to communities, with considerable environmental justice implications, upwards of hundreds of billions of dollars in impacts to property and development, impacts to statewide and regional water supplies, and damage to or loss of beaches, tidepools, wetlands, and other coastal habitats,” Coastal Commission staff said.

Catalina Past Times:
“Coin diving” was a beloved tradition on Catalina Island. As steamers would approach the pier, kids would row out or swim to the ship, bellowing “throw a coin!” at the passengers onboard. They would then dive after the money tossed into the water by the passengers.
COIN DIVING
By Lindsey Glasgow AVALON —The Catalina Island Express rolls into Avalon Harbor these days with very little fanfare. No children clad in bathing suits chanting “throw a coin” greet her arrival into port; that treasured pastime belongs to the children who grew up on the island between the 1890s and 1960s. “Coin diving” on Catalina Island dates back to the 1890s. As the steamers would dock at the pier, kids would row out or swim to the ship, bellowing “throw a coin!” at the passengers onboard. They would then dive after the money tossed into the water by the passengers. William Banning, who purchased the island in 1892, owned Wilmington Transportation Company which operated a fleet of coastal steamers between San Pedro and Avalon starting in 1888. “Visitors to Catalina Island during the past summer were greatly amused and
incidentally relieved of their small change by the antics of a number of youths who would swim out to meet the incoming steamers and then offer to dive for coins,” an article published in 1903 in the Los Angeles Herald read. “The passengers enjoyed the sport and as many of the youngsters were excellent swimmers, but few coins were tossed overboard that ever touched the bottom.” The tradition would continue through the days of S.S. Catalina, also known as The Great White Steamer. The 301-foot steamship provided passenger service between Los Angeles and Avalon from 1924 to 1975. Avalon native and historian Chuck Liddell recalled his own experience in the 1960s diving for coins in an online blog post. “I stood on the rocks, south east of where the ‘Busy Bee’ Restaurant now sits, and bellowed to those going to the boat called the ‘Blanche W’ and other excursion boats leaving the ‘Steamer Pier’,” Liddell wrote. “If you made it through the day (the

ship arrived at Noon and left at 4:10 pm, except on weekends, when it would generally make two round trips), you were usually in the water around an hour when it arrived and an hour when it left, you could easily get $15 or more in a day, which, in those days, was enough for some of the ‘mainland’ college kids to be able to eat three meals a day, stay in a nice hotel, and take their ‘summer romances’ to the Casino to dance that evening,” Liddell continued. Liddell recalled another tradition growing up.
“On the pier, as well as at the foot of the pier, leading into town, another custom was in play,” Liddell wrote. “The locals and visitors who arrived earlier had formed a ‘gauntlet’ where they would line up on both sides and the newly initiated tourist to walk between these rows of ‘natives.’ It gave the new arrivals the feeling of being ‘greeted’, which continued until the Steamer Pier was torn down in 1969.” S.S. Catalina was taken out of service forever in 1975, shortly after the Steamer Pier was torn down, and the beloved tradition of coin diving slowly died off.

Seabirds Shatter a Decadesold Record on the Farallones FARALLONES ISLANDS (POINT BLUE CONSERVATION SCIENCE)—The biggest
story on the Farallones so far this year is the earliest peak laying on record for Cassin’s auklets. This species is fine tuned to its environment, where lay dates are highly correlated with the spring transition to wind-driven upwelling along the California coast. This upwelling transports nutrients from the depths up to the sun dappled surface waters to form vast blooms of phytoplankton, seeding the

added back into the water and so that made us think maybe we are starting to see a situation with the toxin we are familiar with,” Anderson said. SCCOOS said while a L. Polyedra blooms are usually benign, scientists in Ensenada, Baja are detecting yessotoxin in recent samples, indicating that the same may be occurring in Southern California. SCCOOS also said this type of bloom is generally not a public health concern. However, there have been anecdotal reports in previous years from surfers and beach-goers claiming respiratory irritation from sea spray emerging near red tide water. “This one is not known to be a public health threat however we’re getting a lot of reports about surfers now having
base of the food chain with a rich green soup. In response to favorable ocean conditions and an assumed abundance of krill that graze upon this plankton, Cassin’s auklets are arriving in force this year, as evidenced by signs of excavation of their earthen burrows and a chorus of calls after dusk. Point Blue Conservation Science has been closely monitoring the breeding behavior and performance of known-age (banded as chicks) Cassin’s auklets on the Farallones since 1983 and said lay date for this species can be used as a measure of ocean productivity and health. Following delayed reproduction and a near complete reproductive failure for Cassin’s auklets in 2019, peak lay occurred on March 14th this year, the earliest in our long-term record. This bodes well for many other locally breeding bird and mammal species that also depend on krill either directly or indirectly, so long as favorable conditions persist throughout the spring and summer.
some respiratory and other distress, getting rashes, so we’re looking into that,” Anderson said. For more information on the recent red tide event, visit sccoos.org/ california-hab-bulletin/red-tide/.

AVALON UPDATE
NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL AND MOORINGS MAJOR DISCUSSION POINT AT AVALON CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS City-owned moorings in Avalon Harbor
Avalon Harbor Patrol posted this photo to Facebook on May 13 saying “the Harbor Department is preparing for when we are able to open!”
By Lindsey Glasgow AVALO N —Moorings on both ends of Catalina Island are now open to visiting boaters. “I think the best way to start generating some revenue and bringing people back to town at a slow rate would be through the harbor,” Mayor Pro-Tem Cinde MacGugan-Cassidy said at the May 13 City Council meeting. Addressing non-essential travel to the island was a major topic of discussion related to the Coronavirus at the May 13 City Council meeting. Several public comments were submitted from visiting boaters expressing their desire to have the harbor opened back up. “Please open your harbors, shops and restaurants as soon as you can and know that you will be visited,” one commenter from Long Beach wrote in a comment read aloud by city staff at the May 13 meeting. “We have been coming to the island for over 30 years and miss it terribly.” Another major point of discussion was whether to modify or extend a section of an urgency ordinance limiting hotels and vacation rentals to persons engaging in essential activities only. The ordinance was set to expire May 31. The topics came back to the council at the May 19 meeting and drew a large amount of public comment. Many Avalon residents, business owners and workers urged the Council to reopen the island. “There are precautions and safe practice measures that need to be put in place
but this continued lockdown is becoming worse than the virus itself. Our beautiful city of Avalon and our treasured history of Catalina Island needs to be appreciated, visited and opened,” one submitted comment read aloud stated. Others expressed concerns about compliance with safety guidelines, including social distancing, masks, no dinning in and checklists for businesses that are open. “I believe pushing to open prior to health department inspections governing the opening of businesses is a mistake, we have been given stipulations from the state regarding the requirements for reopening businesses but no one is checking to see if the state’s requirements are being followed,” another comment read into the record stated. Council members voted 4-1 at the May 19 meeting to lift the section of a city urgency ordinance concerning Coivd-19 that prohibited new transient occupancies of city-owned moorings for non-residents, beginning May 22. Councilmember Lisa Lavelle cast the no vote and echoed concerns that health and safety guidelines related to Covid-19 were not being followed. “My thought had been great, let’s open the harbor and see how that goes, let’s wait a week or two and then go ahead and get everything else open and going again,” Lavelle said. “I don’t see this weekend how we can open at 100 percent safely if the restaurants that are open, the businesses that are choosing to be open and the city pathways for the harbor are not ready yet.” Shoulder rates (buy four get three

free) will be effective through June 15. After June 15, the nightly rates will take effect and be in place through Oct. 15. “Avalon will continually evaluate the conditions for keeping the Harbor open and the Harbor Master will develop and implement procedures for safety of Harbor visitors and Harbor Patrol, including such procedures as necessary to safely deliver supplies to boats in the Harbor,” the ordinance read. Boaters using the moorings will be expected to follow the safety guidelines provided by the harbor master.
At the May 19 meeting, council members also extensively discussed the portion of the urgency ordinance limiting hotel occupancies and vacation rentals to persons engaged in essential activities. Up for a vote was extending a section of the urgent ordinance limiting non-essential transient occupancies until the end of Los Angeles County’s phase two of safe reopening. Los Angeles County has laid out a five phase plan for safe reopening and is currently at the beginning of phase two. After not being able to get to the four votes required to pass, council members voted unanimously to remove the section from the urgency ordinance. The topic could come back to the City Council. The city still falls under and is aligning with the rules governed by the state and Los Angeles County, including those regarding non-essential travel. “Sections three and seven follow exactly what the county says right now, that is the same rules the county has,” City Attorney Scott Campbell said. “If you do not pass this, what you’re saying is the city of Avalon is not going to be regulating, not going to be citing anyone, we just defer to the county on this.” In accordance with Los Angele County safe reopening guidelines, hiking trails and beaches have reopened for recreational activity on Catalina Island, as well as select curbside pick up options for some retail businesses.
The Log on Social Media “Orange County owns harbor and ALL beaches – not DP city. Closed parking/bathrooms is discrimination & creates sanitation issues. We ALL have rights to use; not just boaters with keys to parking/amenities. #TheOC must OPEN & REDUCE parking & patrol behavior.” Carrie Kelly (@CarrieHKelly), on Twitter, replying to a Dana Point Boaters tweet on May 10. The tweet, which tagged The Log, urged boaters to avoid Dana Point Harbor from being the next waterfront venue to be shut down in the event visitors would not observe social distancing protocols.

Sailing 2020 Offshore Sailing World Championship has been canceled World Sailing takes another international racing event off the calendar because of Covid-19.
By Parimal M. Rohit
BRISTOL , RHODE ISL AND —Another
major sailing competition has been taken off the calendar because of the Covid-19 pandemic. US Sailing and World Sailing announced the 2020 Offshore Sailing World Championship, which pits One Design L30 charter boats against each other, won’t be held this year. This year’s event was supposed to mark the first-ever running of the Offshore Sailing World Championship. The sailing event will now make its debut in 2021. “The many uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic have forced the postponement of the one-design L30 charter boat production and distribution across Europe, and have disrupted the ability of Member National Authorities (MNAs) to run qualification events to decide who may enter the event,” a statement issued by organizers said. “In light of these difficult circumstances, World Sailing’s Board of Directors decided it is prudent and fairer to cancel the 2020 edition of the Offshore Worlds. “The event was expecting to feature teams of mixed sailors from 20 nations from each continent,” organizers continued. “The inaugural edition of the Offshore World Championship will now take
place in 2021.” US Sailing’s posted selection procedures for this year’s 2020 Offshore Sailing World Championships have been declared void because of the event cancelation, according to US Sailing. Mixed Doublehanded Offshore will be one of the five new sailing classes debuting at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, according to US Sailing. One of the qualifiers for the Mixed Offshore World Championships is still on-calendar. The qualifier – the 2020 Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac – is still set for July 17-21.

Youth Sailing World Championships in December has been canceled Racing event planned for Dec. 12-19 in Brazil won’t be held because of Coronavirus-related travel restrictions. By Parimal M. Rohit BRISTOL, RHODE ISL AND —The 2020
Youth Sailing World Championships, which was slated to take place in Salvador, Brazil beginning Dec. 12, has officially been canceled, it was announced. The race, originally set to run from Dec. 12-19, was canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. A statement issued by US Sailing said the Youth Sailing World Championship “is a crucial point on the path of US Sailing’s Olympic Development Program
sailors.” “As a result of the cancelation, US Sailing’s posted athlete selection procedures for the event are currently under review for amendments,” the US Sailing statement continued. “In the meantime, US Sailing remains dedicated to the development of these athletes and classes.” World Sailing and the Confederação Brasileira de Vela (CBVela), the two organizations that canceled the championships “in anticipation of global travel restrictions” said they are trying to determine when Brazil could next host the Youth Worlds event. The 2021 iteration of the Youth World Championships will take place at The Hague, Netherlands; the racing event will take place in July 2021, according to World Sailing. “Our priority is, and always has been supporting the sailors who want to achieve excellence. We are committed to these athletes and the future of high-performance sailing in the United States,” Leandro Spina, US Sailing’s Olympic Development Director, said in a released statement. “We have a lot of talent in this country, and we look forward to getting back on the water at full capacity. Until then, we will adapt and find ways to continue identifying and supporting our young athletes.”

AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND —The 2020 sailing calendar has effectively been wiped clean, with several major racing events canceled or postponed. Many of these events won’t return until 2021. One event, though, was already on hiatus this year – America’s Cup. The next edition of the quadrennial international race is not slated to return to the water until March 6, 2021, when five teams will spend two weeks competing against each other in Auckland, New Zealand. The next America’s Cup might be ninesome months away, but the gap between now and March 2021 does not mean the event’s competing sailors will be relaxing amidst the global pandemic caused by the spread of the Coronavirus. Those sailors would be using this time to practice and fine-tune their vessels, among other preparations. The Covid-19 pandemic – and the associated lockdowns all around the world

– has made it hard for the five competing teams to take those necessary steps to be prepared in time for next year’s race. Emirates Team New Zealand, however, appears to be making some progress in its quest to defend its title, which was won in 2017. The team shared a 1-minute, 47-second video on its website on May 19, with several members of the design and racing crews explaining how they are managing to stay sharp and work on the sailing vessel as New Zealand, the country, eases lockdown restrictions. “It’s exciting times, really,” Scott Stokes, the build facility production manager, said, adding the team is adding new staff and bolstering its night crew. “We’re seeing, even in the first week back, some real good gains. It cheers everyone up, when they come back in the morning, they see some good progress from the night. “We got some good groups. We’re keeping good separation,” Stokes continued. Jamie Timms, the senior structural engineer for Emirates Team New Zealand’s vessel, added the design team was actually equipped to work efficiently during lockdown. “We’re in a pretty good position, all things considered,” Timms said. Guy Endean, a grinder with Emirates Team New Zealand, said there are elements of preparation that do not require the entire team to be together – and everyone is doing their part, accordingly, to be as prepared as possible without engaging in group gatherings. Competing in next year’s America’s Cup are Emirates Team New Zealand, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, American Magic, Ineos Team UK, and Stars & Stripes Team USA.

Flight of the Snowbirds NEWPORT BEACH—Flight of the Snowbirds, now called Flight of Newport, is the oldest, continuously running sailboat race in Newport Harbor, according to the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce. The sailboat race began in the 1930s with Snowbird sailboats. Eventually the Snowbirds gave way to boats called Kites, which in turn gave way to boats called Lasers in the early 1970s. Over the past 82 years, the event has gone through a number of name changes: “The Flight of the Kites” and most recently, “The Flight of the Lasers.” Today, the race is open to Laser and Harbor 20 boats. The 2020 edition of the race is scheduled for July 26, but due to the Coronavirus, it is unclear if the event will take place.

STATE ALLOWS MONO COUNTY TROUT OPENER TO GO FORWARD Eastern Sierra fishing season opened on May 23, about one month later than originally scheduled.
By Parimal M. Rohit SACRAMENTO —Charlton H. Bonham,
director of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), lifted the state’s restrictions on the Eastern Sierra fishing opener for Mono County, allowing the trout opener to go forward. The 2020 trout opener for Mono County was originally scheduled to take place on April 25, but the annual fishing event known as “Fishmas” was delayed until May 31 because of the Covid19 pandemic. Anglers were allowed to begin fishing in Mono County as of May 23. Bridgeport, June Lake and Lake Crowley are among the popular fishing destinations within Mono County. Fishing was not yet allowed in Inyo County, however. Inyo County is the other portion of the Eastern Sierras where “Fishmas” takes place annually, during the last Saturday of April. “In April, CDFW had discussions with county leadership regarding trout fishing, which typically draws a high tourism influx to the area. Local officials were concerned about the transmission of Covid-19 and its potential to put a strain
on their healthcare systems,” CDFW staff said in a released statement. “Further, all non-essential businesses including lodging, dining and camping options were closed in compliance with state and local public health officers› orders. Thus, CDFW, in consultation with Fish and Game Commission President Eric Sklar, delayed the opener through May 31.” Mono County officials, however, reportedly wrote a letter to CDFW, urging the department to end the trout opener delay and allow fishing to resume before May 31. The letter was reportedly sent to CDFW staff on May 21. “Mono County officials … [indicated] that the county received approval from California Department of Public Health to move into the governor’s Phase Two, Stage Two Resilience Roadmap and would begin discussions of re-opening,” CDFW staff said in a released statement. “Though county officials requested the opening on May 22, CDFW required one additional day for consultation and processing this request, thus the delay in Mono County will expire at midnight on May 22, and fishing can resume on May 23.” Please contact CDFW at 916-4457600 for questions about the emergency declaration.
Social Distancing Fishing By Parimal M. Rohit POWAY —Perhaps it’s a baby step in the right direction – a sign we’re on the path of
recovery after two months of isolation and lockdown. Anglers from two senior fishing clubs in north San Diego County made it out onto the water on May 15 to participate in shore fishing. It was the first time these anglers participated in fishing activities in two months. The 14 anglers from senior angler fishing clubs in Escondido and Oceanside exercised 6 feet of social distancing during a casual fishing tournament at Lake Poway. All participants also wore facemasks. The fishing tournament was not an official club event, as both clubs are still shut down, technically speaking, because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Anglers were allowed to catch any fish species to qualify. Action was limited and only one fish was caught – a 3.26-pound tailwalker rainbow. Chris Bentley, a member of Oceanside Senior Anglers, made the catch. Another “casual” tournament was scheduled to take place at Lake Wohlford on May 29, where 1,500 pounds of channel catfish would be planted.

Social Distance Sailing By Lindsey Glasgow LONG BEACH — Events may be off calendar but boat launch ramps for the most part are open across the Southern California coast. Boaters seem to be taking advantage of the time to get out on the water. On May 20, Owen Sharp and Virgil Talbott of Fullerton took out their sailboat at the Davies Launch Ramp in Long Beach for the first time in about a year. “Well there’s nothing else to do,” Sharp said. She said it’s easy to keep their 6 feet while sailing. They were planning to sail for about an hour and then head back to Orange County. Marinas in Long Beach are open. Rental shops for kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and electric boats are also open for business, with social distancing protocols in place.
PORT OF SAN DIEGO LOOSENS SOME COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS Conflicting jurisdictional issues forces the port district to allow public to access tidelands parks. By Parimal M. Rohit
some per month. The port district closed its parks, boat launch ramps and other waterfront properties in April due to the Covid-19 pandemic. San Diego County, however, started to relax Coronavirus-themed restrictions on May 1, and portions of the port district slowly began to re-open. Cities such as Coronado and Imperial Beach, both of which are also members of the Unified Port District of San Diego, also began loosening their own pandemic restrictions, opening the door to inconsistent regulations. See RESTRICTIONS page 22
Boaters in San Diego are starting to get out on the water more. The 10-lane Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp was quite busy on May 24, despite being limited to no more than four trailers at once.
SAN DIEGO —The ongoing experiment
that is forced isolation and quarantining in the name of Covid-19 continues to take a windy path toward a proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. The latest twist: the Port of San Diego had to figure out how best to manage jurisdictional management of its tidelands-area parks. Cities within the port district, such as Coronado, began opening its local parks and public areas – all while the Port of San Diego, itself, hadn’t fully opened some of its properties. Some of these public spaces were adjacent to each other and, therefore, confusing the public as to where they could or could not go. There were situations, according to at least one member of the Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners, who said members of the public would visit public areas, unaware of multiple jurisdictions managing that space. The port’s board, accordingly, voted on May 19 to make all of the port district’s tidelands parks available for traverse and general use. The port district will also make a better effort to work with the city of Coronado, on park usage, and open up as many parking spots as possible, per state and county guidelines. “Generally speaking, I think longer closure is the right thing to do, but I am sensitive to these … adjacent parks that are different jurisdictions, that have different rules, I wonder if something could be done with that,” Vice-Chair Michael Zucchet said. Port district CEO Randa Coniglio said her staff could improve sign usage to help clarify which parks are and are not open. Improving communication, alone, could help the port district save $200,000-

Port district staff said keeping its waterfront and tidelands locations closed would keep operational costs low. Opening those areas right now, according to port district staff, would increase monthly costs to $289,000 – an increase of $153,000 each month. “Social distancing monitoring and additional comfort station cleaning requirements, if fully or partially implemented, account for most of the park and beach opening cost,” port district staff said in a

Federal court blocks California water diversion plan Temporary ban on efforts to increase water diversions in the Bay-Delta region would benefit winterrun Chinook salmon.
By Parimal M. Rohit
WASHINGTON, D.C.—The U.S.
Department of Interior’s plan to divert water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta and its fisheries was temporarily blocked by a federal court, May 11. Pres. Donald J. Trump and his administration had announced a plan, in February, to divert water away from the Bay-Delta region to growing agriculture areas in southern portions of California. The plan aimed to increase water capacity for the state’s agriculture industry. A lawsuit against the plan was filed almost immediately. Judges from the federal court’s Eastern District of California sided with the state, ruling the Trump administration
plan would have threatened endangered species protections of fish species in the region. “The Department of the Interior›s plan would allow for expanded water diversions from the Delta by more than half a million-acre feet despite overwhelming scientific evidence that the plan poses a clear and significant threat to federally protected species in California – many of which have already seen declining populations for many years,” a statement released by the American Sportfishing Association said. “These protections for threatened and endangered fisheries also benefit the entire Delta ecosystem, including many important recreational fisheries.” Winter-run Chinook salmon and Delta smelt were listed among the native fish populations potentially threatened by the water diversion plan. Parties involved with the federal lawsuit were the Golden State Salmon Association, Natural Resources Defense Council, The Bay Institute, Institute for Fisheries Research, Defenders of Wildlife and Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Association.

By Bob Vanian SAN DIEGO—San Diego County private boaters had their bays and most of their
harbor’s launch facilities open up to use a few weeks ago, but sportboat landings and their boats have remained closed under Covid-19 restrictions. Some good news is that San Diego County sportfishing landings have found out that they will be included under Phase/Stage 3 of the reopening program.
In a May 25, update, the Seaforth
Sportfishing website stated: “We are optimistic that we will be up and running by the end of the month.” In an update on the Fisherman’s Landing website, also on May 25, they say they are “waiting for local and state officials to give them the “Green Light” to start fishing.” Time will tell, but let’s hope all the sportfishing landings and their boats are all up and running safely by the time you read this report.
Dana Wharf Sportfishing in Dana
Point in Orange County states on its website it will begin running trips on May 25, which is the day of my writing this report. There is a list of procedures and protocols for operating under the threat of Covid-19 on the Dana Wharf website. The procedures include passengers and crewmembers being required to wear face coverings. They also state older adults and people with severe underlying medical conditions should stay at home due to the seemingly higher risk of developing more serious complications from Covid-19. For a complete list of their requirements and procedures, go the Dana Wharf Sportfishing website at danawharf.com/ covid-19/.
My prayers are for the health and
safety of all passengers, crewmembers, office personnel and others who are involved in the reopening of the sportfishing industry. Please be safe!

30 to 200 pounds and yellowfin running from 20 to 60 pounds.
Boats fishing for bluefin tuna and
yellowfin tuna have been finding recent success while working the area ranging from inside of the inner high spot at the Upper Hidden Bank on over to the 475 Knuckle. The best area has ranged from 34 to 38 miles 160 to 180 degrees from Point Loma. There have also been occasional showings of tuna reported at the 302 Spot, the 371 Bank and the 425 Bank areas and today there was a report of a 200-pound class bluefin being caught outside of the 302 Spot in the area of the 230 Spot.
The bluefin tuna have been ranging
from 30 to 200 pounds with most in the 80- to 150-pound range. The few yellowfin tuna that have been biting have been in the 20- to 60-pound range. Bluefin have been biting best on kite trolled Yummy Flyers and kite fished drifted frozen flying fish. Occasional bluefin have also been caught on drifted sardines, mackerel and on iron that is cast to breaking fish. Yellowfin have been biting on trolled Rapalas and cedar plugs as well as on sardines that are drifted around meter marks.
Private boater Floyd Sparks, of Tuna
Kahuna, fished on a friend’s boat and reported catching a bluefin tuna of 85 pounds and 150 pounds. The fish were caught on kite trolled Yummy Flyers while fishing around a temperature break that they found while fishing to the southwest of the 475 Knuckle.
