Funding will help various Sea Grant programs in fostering new opportunities, educating public. By Parimal M. Rohit
NATIONWIDE — More than $9 million in free money was allocated to 32 projects nationwide as part of an effort to advance a sustainable marine and coastal aquaculture industry, federal government officials announced Oct. 31. Grants were awarded to various National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Sea Grants through one of two competitions for aquaculture funding. One competition awarded grants to increase aquaculture production, while the other funded programs addressing impediments to opportunities. NOAA allocated $9.3 million, in all, to various Sea Grant projects across the country, including three in California. “The projects include basic and applied research to improve efficient production of seafood, permitting of new businesses, management of environmental health issues and economic success of aquaculture businesses,” NOAA Sea Grant staff stated in a release. Three Sea Grant projects in California received nearly $400,000 in grants for various aquaculture projects.
USC Sea Grant, for example, earned $147,737 in funding to address public misperceptions about marine aquaculture in the United States. “This collaborative project is being led by the Aquarium of the Pacific’s Seafood for the Future program and includes partnerships with California Sea Grant, the NOAA Office Aquaculture programs nationwide received a bit of a boost in late of Aquaculture, NOAA October after NOAA awarded $9.3 million to various Sea Grant projects.

NOAA grants $9.3 million for aquaculture research existing commercial and recreational fishing activities,” NOAA staff stated. “The goal of this project is to improve the process for considering and integrating multiple uses of ocean space, specifically capture fisheries and aquaculture.” NOAA also awarded $140,000 to the Sea Grant Law Center to study ways to overcome impediments to shellfish aquaculture through legal research and outreach. “Legal and permitting issues are consistently ranked as a critical impediment to domestic aquaculture development,” NOAA staff stated in its Oct. 31 announcement. “The regulatory landscape facing the aquaculture industry can also be confusing and complicated, and so this project takes a multi-institutional, national collaboration approach to examine impediments to shellfish aquaculture across the United States.” Results from Sea Grant Law Center’s efforts could benefit port districts in San Diego and Ventura, as officials in both regions are pursuing aquaculture opportunities. NOAA, in all, awarded 21 projects with $2,631,005 in federal grants to address impediments to aquaculture opportunities. Another 11 projects were funded with $6,662,532 in federal funds to increase aquaculture opportunities. Officials reviewed 126 proposals requesting more than $59 million in grants; only 32 projects were awarded funds.

PACIFIC OCEAN — It is not terribly uncommon for tales of survival to feature more than a dash of embellishment. Such stories always boil down to differentiating between what was said and what actually happened. The veracity of what two women described as a sail gone completely awry certainly has a fair share of skeptics, according to recent news reports. Jennifer Appel and Tasha Fuiava left Hawai’i aboard their boat in early May, reportedly setting sail for Tahiti. The women had their two dogs aboard, according to a New York Times report. The sail was set of course not too long after the women departed, according to news reports. Appel and Fuiava told the press their boat effectively became disabled after a three-day storm – ulti-
NEWS BRIEFS NATION/world Ecospeed – a copperfree coating available to boaters NATIONWIDE — Subsea Industries announced a copperfree coating, called Ecospeed, is now available to the yachting industry and recreational boating community. Ecospeed has been used on vessels navigating through sea ice. Now owners of yachts and other pleasure boats can coat their hulls with Ecospeed and have their hulls cleaned in-water. Boats with copper-base paint contaminate the water especially during in-water hull cleanings.

mately setting them adrift. The duo stated they survived on a pasta diet and were threatened by tiger sharks ramming up against their vessel, according to a story published by Vice. They were eventually rescued, according to initial news reports, by a Taiwanese fishing boat. Some of their claims, however, have been disputed in recent weeks. A Nov. 1 New York Times
“Ecospeed hulls can be legally cleaned in-water because the hard-type, glass flake coating is proven to remain intact during the cleaning process,” Subsea Industries’ U.S. Sales Manager Kelly Townsend stated. “Since our Ecospeed product contains zero chemicals and is completely non-toxic to marine life, it has the potential to meet the yacht sector’s requirement for a clean, reliable and cost-effective alternative to copper-based coatings,” Townsend added. Coastal cities in California are feeling pressure to regulate and restrict copper paint on boats by the regional or state water board. A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) policy is being implemented in many local harbors.

Hurricanes Harvey and Irma destroy or damage more than 63,000 recreational boats ALEXANDRIA, Virginia (LOG NEWS SERVICE) — The Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) estimates that more than 63,000 recreational boats were damaged or destroyed as a result of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma.

NBC published a story about one week after the Times’ report, quoting BW Appel as saying she and Fuiava weren’t actually rescued by a Taiwanese fishing boat.

Scientists also questioned whether tiger sharks ever struck their vessel, contrary to the species’ usual behavior, according to a report in People Magazine.

BoatUS estimates that Hurricane Irma damaged or destroyed 50,000 vessels with approximately $500 million in recreational boat damage. About 13,500 boats were damaged or lost, costing $155 million in boat damage as the result of Hurricane Harvey. “These two storms were as different as night and day,” Rick Wilson, vice president of claims for the BoatUS Marine Insurance Program, said. “The boats that were hit the hardest by Harvey were located on a relatively small slice of Texas coast, while we saw damage to recreational vessels from Irma in every corner of Florida.” BoatUS said members of its See NEWS BRIEFS page 5

Readers continue to voice their opinions on fishing license reform.
Pass the bill already! Members of the state legislature: I have been licensed as a broker with the California Bureau of Real Estate since 1989. My license is active from Dec. 3 and expires on Dec. 2 – four years later. All real estate licenses are for a non-calendar period. Thus, when I pay $300 for a license, I get $300 worth of time to use the license. Driver’s license, auto registration and a number of other licenses are based on a non-calendar period as well, all providing full value when fees are paid. Common sense says a fishing license should be good for a non-calendar year as well, right? But it’s not. The fishing license I
purchased in July gave me half the value of those who purchased their license in January. Does that seem fair? For whatever reason, SB 187 won’t get passed to solve this fishing license discrimination issue. There’s been no opposition to the bill and the recreational fishing industry has been slowly whittling away over the years. One reason is the fishing license fee structure. Don’t you people have any common sense? For Pete’s sake, pass the damn bill! Steve Cozforus

Federal tax reform could do away with second home deductions Similar proposal, which would harm boat owners, didn’t succeed in California legislature. By Parimal M. Rohit
NATIONWIDE — California’s boaters could be on the verge of being struck by a one-two punch in these final days of 2017. Fuel prices skyrocketed a few weeks ago when the much-anticipated 12-cent gasoline tax hike went into effect. The state levy, which helped make California the most expensive place in the nation to fill up, served as the first tax blow. Uncle Sam himself might deliver the second, potentially more powerful, punch, as Congress deliberates comprehensive tax reform this month. A proposal on the House of Representatives floor could do away with mortgage deductions
on second homes – a plan similar to what was presented in front of state legislators during the most recent legislative session in Sacramento. Boat ownership would qualify as owning a second home; eliminating interest deductions for second homes, accordingly, would directly affect boaters. Boaters effectively dodged a bullet when Assembly Bill 71 (AB 71), the proposal which sought to do away with second home deductions, failed to muster significant support in Sacramento. Assembly Democrats proposed AB 71 as a means to raise funding for affordable housing programs, but the bill never made it to a full legislative vote and effectively died in the lower house. Now comes the House’s tax bill, proposing to cap mortgage interest deductions at $500,000 and eliminating second home subsidies altogether. See STANDING WATCH page 9
FAST FACTS: Catalina Island’s Interior Wildlife By Parimal M. Rohit CATALINA ISLAND — Most people who visit Catalina Island probably know of the bison or foxes roaming amongst the hills. But did you know Catalina was also home to wild goats? A 1939 brochure promoting tourism to Catalina boasted the wildlife to be found within the island’s interior, including bison, deer, fox and goat. “Thousands of wild goat, hardy descendants of a few domesticated ones left by Spanish explorers centuries, thrive here,” the 1939 promotional brochure stated. The brochure, which misidentified the island’s bison as buffalo, added goats and wild boar were prime targets for year-round hunting. Bison, among other species, were not to be hunted, according to the brochure. “Fox, deer and buffalo are protected,” the promotional brochure stated. “Over rugged inland hills and rolling plains unchanged by man since time began, picturesque herds of bison roam. They are often seen on
motor trips to the Isthmus.” Other natural amenities highlighted in the 1939 promotional brochure were the Catalina Bird Park and Submarine Gardens. The bird park was described as “the world’s largest bird cage.” “Many talk and perform, several having appeared in Hollywood movies,” the brochure continued, adding park admission was free but motor coaches from Avalon’s pier to the park were 25 cents (round trip).

Blips on the Radar Orange County extends lease with Catalina Express What Happened: The Orange County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a lease agreement for Catalina Channel Express (or Catalina Express) to continue offering ferry service between Dana Point Harbor and Avalon, Oct. 31. Supervisors only approved the extension, however, after Supervisor Shawn Nelson asked county staff and his colleagues about Catalina Express’s handling of parking payments. Orange County and Catalina Express had apparently engaged in a legal battle over money the former owed the latter. Catalina Express allegedly failed to share portions of parking proceeds, per its lease, with the county, resulting in a legal claim against the shuttle service. Nelson specifically asked county staff and his colleagues whether Catalina Express has been “a good citizen” since the legal matter resolved. “We had some litigation with this group, where they were taking parking fees online [and] the agreement was we would get … 10 percent,” Nelson explained, adding the company, at times, didn’t always pay the county its share. “We were on the verge of trial, we were being pushed to settle [and] the board final made a decision: no, we are going to hash this out.” The company apparently agreed to pay Orange County the amount request, according to Nelson. Catalina Express, whose lease agreement with Orange County was set to expire Oct. 31, had been in good standing with the county after the lawsuit, Supervisor Lisa Bartlett and county staff confirmed. What’s On Tap?: Catalina Express will

This initiative goes hand in hand with me now having to pay an additional 12-cent fuel tax on my fuel bill for my boat, even though it only goes in the water. I find it hard to pay for the fuel in the first place and considering just giving up the boat all together or moving to perhaps Texas.

The ferry company’s rent is $117,903 or 5 percent of its gross revenue, whichever is greater, plus 85 percent of parking revenues generated by its passengers. Catalina Express must also pay one percent of its gross revenues toward common area maintenance. Catalina Express paid Orange County $722,841 for the 2016-17 Fiscal Year and $634,902 for 2015-16, according to a county staff report.

Agencies hope to finalize marine debris plan update By Parimal M. Rohit STATEWIDE — A multiagency effort to update California’s strategies and objectives on marine debris prevention and reduction could be taking final shape as the end of 2017 nears. The Ocean Protection Council (OPC), in conjunction with California Coastal Commission, California Sea Grant, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association’s (NOAA) Marine Debris Program and Surfrider Foundation, recently completed a public input period for the state’s “Ocean Litter Protection Strategy” document. OPC had prepared the original implementation strategy to reduce and prevent marine debris in 2008. A draft version of “California Ocean Litter Prevention Strategy: Addressing Marine Debris from Source to Sea” was presented by the collaborative team of OPC, NOAA and California Sea Grant in September, with the final draft expected to be made available to the public in mid- to late-November. The draft strategy update identified ocean litter and marine debris as a “persistent” and “well-documented” problem. “Between 1950 and 2015, 6,300 million metric tons of primary and secondary (or recycled) plastic waste was produced worldwide. Approximately 12 percent of this plastic waste was incinerated, and 9 percent was recycled, while 79 percent was discarded and is currently sitting in landfills or the environment,” authors of the draft strategy update stated. Authors of the 2017 draft strategy update stated much has happened in the past nine years. “Since the original strategy was developed, many of the actions described in the document have either been accomplished or are in progress,” the draft strategy update’s authors

In other cases, our understanding of the ocean litter problem has changed considerably since 2008, and some of the actions that were outlined in the 2008 strategy may no longer be the best way to go about addressing ocean litter. “In addition, new forms of ocean litter, such as microfibers, have been identified since 2008, and are not covered in the original strategy,” the draft strategy update stated. The 2017 strategy update identified three priorities to reduce and prevent ocean litter or marine debris: prohibit single use products (straws, stirrer, balloons, etc.); phase out single use products at public institutions (government buildings, campuses); and, reduce microplastics in wastewater discharge. Marine debris, according to the drafted strategy update, originates from either land-based or ocean-based sources. Ocean-based sources include recreational or commercial fishing activities, shipping lines and aquaculture venues, according to OPC, NOAA and

Efforts are underway to update a marine debris plan for California’s oceans and waterways. One of the initiative’s priorities is to prohibit single use products.
California Sea Grant’s draft strategy update. Litter disposed of land but eventually transported to the ocean – primarily by wind or via storm drains – makes up a majority of the debris in our waterways, according to the draft strategy update. Plastic pollution is one of the most common forms of debris found in the water, planners at OPC, NOAA and California Sea Grant stated. The economic impact of plastic pollution, according to the draft strategy update, is about $13 billion annually. “Ocean litter is prevalent in California watersheds and ocean waters. For example, 78 percent of Southern California river miles and about one third of seafloors and seafloor sediments in the Southern California Bight contain trash,” the draft strategy update stated. “Plastic is the most prevalent type of debris found across all habitats in the Southern California Bight, with wrappers, bags, plastic pieces, and Styrofoam being the most commonly found plastic items, [with] 73 water bodies throughout the state of California … listed as having impaired water quality due to the presence of large amounts of trash.” OPC, NOAA and California Sea Grant staffs hope the 2017 strategy

update would help reduce sources of litter causing marine debris in the state’s waterways. “Preventing waste in the first place through initiatives such as packaging redesign and reusing materials is a better method for reducing waste as it reduces the amount of litter to control, capture, and dispose,” the draft strategy update stated. “This method is considered by the U.S. EPA to be the most preferred method for dealing with waste.” Areas of focus, according to authors of the 2017 strategy update, would include waste management and implementation of effective or controlled cleanup methods (i.e., beach cleanups, street sweeping, stormwater capture, etc.).

Standing Watch From page 6
The Senate’s tax reform bill, interestingly enough, would maintain the current tax scheme for mortgage interest deductions: $1 million cap and no restrictions on second home subsidies. It is obviously unclear, as of now, which proposal would win the day. Of course it is just as possible the two houses of Congress come to terms on something different. Yet the specter of boat owners losing a tax benefit remains as we head into Thanksgiving week. Complicating matters for boaters: the House’s proposal, if approved and signed into law, would be applied nationwide, meaning they can’t threaten to leave California for another state or even blame Sacramento for being overwhelmingly Blue. Of course there are other elements to the federal tax reform bill, such as whether to repeal the medical expense deduction and adjust the top income tax rate. The House proposal specifically seeks to entirely do away with medical expense deductions, mostly repeal state and local tax deductions, cut the corporate tax rate to 20 percent by
2018, eliminate the double exclusion rule for estate taxes by 2024, maintain the top income tax rate at 39.6 percent and consolidate the number of tax brackets from seven to four. Senators, meanwhile, propose to repeal state and local tax deductions entirely, maintain medical expense deductions, reduce the corporate tax rate to 20 percent by 2019, adjust tax rates without consolidating brackets and cut the top income tax rate to 38.5 percent. Both proposals would maintain adoption tax credits and adjust the standard deduction to $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for couples. Naturally a lot can and will happen in the coming weeks, as the House and Senate proposals are far enough apart to require heavy deliberation. For boaters the debate comes down to whether the status quo remains on second homes deductions or the House has its way and eliminates the subsidy altogether. Advocacy groups such as Recreational Boaters of California and California Sportfishing League both argued against AB 71. Perhaps similar opposition could be lodged against the House’s proposal?
TAKE ACTION No one knows when the proposed tax reform would officially be up for a vote, but the process could play out before the holidays – which is only a few weeks away. Reach out to your local representative and let them know whether you support or oppose the proposal to eliminate second home deductions.

Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach approve Clean Air Action Plan Working toward a zeroemissions future could cost between $7 billion and $14 billion.
SAN PEDRO — Continued efforts to maintain the cleanest air possible at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach took a significant step forward, Nov. 2, as the governing bodies of both harbors jointly approved an updated version of their Clean Air Action Plan, or CAAP, document. The green-themed policy aims to guide the two ports to a zero-emissions future through several initiatives, such as requiring a clean engine fleet by 2035, reducing emissions while improving cargo flow and expanding use of on-dock rail infrastructure. CAAP, which serves as a guidance policy document, was first adopted by port officials in 2006 and then updated in 2010. A draft version of the CAAP update was released in July 2017. Port district officials at Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors anticipate the implement cost of CAAP to be between $7 billion and $14 billion. “Given the pioneering nature of the ports’ objectives, the update relies on a framework to assess the feasibility of new technologies — to determine workability and affordability, and to demonstrate the adequacy of supporting infrastructure,” Adoption of CAAP allows both port districts to target reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 80 percent of 1990 levels by 2050. Both ports had aimed to reduce diesel particulate matter, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides by varying levels when the original CAAP was approved in 2006. The CAAP document also acknowledged zero-emission initiatives announced by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia earlier this year. “The initiatives include new investments in clean technology, expanded use of alternatives for reducing at-

Port-related cancer risk for area residents has also reduced in the past decade, the staffs for both port districts stated in CAAP. Yet more work still needs to be done to provide cleaner air for those living in the area, according to the recently approved CAAP document. “Although health risk reductions have been significant, residents nearest the ports still face higher pollution related health risks than the rest of the Southern California population. Health risk increases with proximity to the source of pollution, and as a result, communities closest to the Ports face greater public health impacts than those farther away,” the CAAP’s public health section stated. Asthma-related emergency room visits occur at a greater frequency for those living closer to the Los AngelesLong Beach Harbor area than those living elsewhere in Los Angeles, the updated CAAP document stated. “In communities near the Port of Los Angeles, including San Pedro, Wilmington, and the Harbor Gateway, asthma-related emergency department visit rates exceed the city average in half of the ZIP codes,” CAAP’s section on public health stated. “The Los Angeles rate of asthma-related hospital visits is 39 per 10,000 residents; in at least one ZIP code in the Harbor Gateway, that rate rose to 72 visits per 10,000 residents.” Staffs for both port districts acknowledged the continued implementation of CAAP would take several years to complete – though both ports would continue pursuing short-term solutions in the near future. Updates on CAAP’s progress would be available online at cleanairactionprogram.org. Both harbors combine to be the ninth-largest port complex in the world and busiest in the United States. They collectively handle about 40 percent of the country’s import container traffic and 25 percent of total exports.

The future of King Harbor’s revitalization remains in flux as the city of Redondo Beach terminated its agreement with CenterCal Properties.
Redondo Beach terminates agreement with CenterCal City, amidst legal battles, officially ends relationship with harbor revitalization vendor. By Parimal M. Rohit REDONDO BEACH — The legal saga hovering over what once was The Waterfront revitalization project took another interesting turn in late October, as the city of Redondo Beach formally ended its relationship with CenterCal Properties, sources confirmed with The Log. A city official and CenterCal executive both informed The Log of the contract cancellation, adding neither could provide any further details. “Since the city is in active litigation with CenterCal I cannot comment or provide any info other than to confirm that the city did send a termination notice to CenterCal,” Stephen Proud, director of Redondo Beach’s Waterfront and Economic Development Department, told The Log in an email. CenterCal CEO Fred Bruning confirmed his company received a notice of termination from city officials. The notice of termination is the latest in a series of heated events surrounding The Waterfront revitalization project at Redondo Beach’s King Harbor area. El Segundo developer CenterCal spent several years developing a $300 million plan to revitalize Redondo Beach’s waterfront. (Some news reports indicated the price tag could have been as high as $400 million.) The plan, had it moved forward, would have brought several new amenities to the King Harbor area, including new restaurants and retail shops. Other features of CenterCal’s proposal included a boutique hotel, cinemas, creative office space and a public market hall. Boaters hoped the revitalization plan would have brought a boat launch ramp to Redondo Beach. Of course the revitalization itself isn’t necessarily dead and Redondo Beach could still realize a boat launch ramp and visitor-serving amenities at King Harbor. Yet recent developments certainly indicate future plans would, in
all likelihood, play out differently than CenterCal and Redondo Beach originally planned. Redondo Beach’s notice of termination bookends an interesting calendar year for The Waterfront project. The local City Council approved a property lease agreement and infrastructure finance plan for CenterCal’s revitalization plans in January. Local voters, however, approved a ballot initiative to restrict zoning changes on Redondo Beach’s waterfront a few weeks later. The approved initiative, known as Measure C, opened the door to limit what a developer could build at and around King Harbor. The same election also facilitated a change in power on the local City Council, what with incumbent Mayor Steve Aspel, a proponent of CenterCal’s plans, losing his re-election bid to a candidate who was not as supportive of The Waterfront. Another anti-Waterfront project candidate, Nils Nehrenheim, was also elected to the council earlier this year. Nehrenheim, a co-founder of “Rescue Our Waterfront” in Redondo Beach, helped spearhead the Measure C ballot initiative. A legal battle between CenterCal and Redondo Beach has since been brewing, with the El Segundo developer delivering the opening salvo with lawsuits reportedly filed against the city in state and federal court. One lawsuit challenged the ballot initiative, while another sought damages for money CenterCal had spent on developing The Waterfront’s plans, according to news reports. Tensions surrounding The Waterfront proposal certainly existed before 2017. The project’s Environmental Impact Report, or EIR, was challenged in October 2016. City Council members had denied the appeal, though, allowing plans at that time to move forward. One of the elements of approved plan was to build a boat launch ramp at Mole B. Some boaters hoped the ramp would have been built further inside King Harbor. What’s next for Redondo Beach’s revitalization plans for King Harbor and its surrounding area remains to be seen.

Boaters express frustration with the waiting game for all three marinas in Long Beach. By Nina K. Jussila
LONG BEACH — Boat ownership is an understandable aspiration for many people, especially in Southern California. A berthed vessel is a precious commodity. Access to public berthing, however, can be a challenge. Finding a place to berth a boat can lead to not only a waiting game but boater frustration as well. Boaters, in fact, have complained about the waiting list process in Long Beach, in particular. Alfredo Fernandez, a boat owner and liveaboard in Alamitos Bay Marina, said the waiting list process for boat slips in Long Beach has been the biggest complaint he has heard from boaters. Another boat owner, Mark Virgin, expressed his frustration with having to pay every year to remain on a waiting list with no idea how long he will have to wait to obtain a slip in any one of the three marinas in Long Beach. “We paid to be on their waiting list for a smaller slip for years,” Virgin said. “After several years of paying the [more than] $50 waiting list fee…I finally told them to remove me when they called this year to complain that I hadn’t reupped on the waiting list fee.”
Was this just an example of an impatient boat owner wanting a slip? Virgin said he paid to be put on the waiting list feeling optimistic a slip would become available as construction projects were close to completion in Alamitos Obtaining a spot at some Southern California marinas can be a trying process, Bay Marina. but the waiting game has caused some boaters to become frustrated.

Waiting lists abound for boat slips in Southern California harbors in 1999. Those individuals remain on what’s referred to as a master waiting list. “With fewer than 1,200 slips and if we just had an open waiting list where people can get on it, we would have tens of thousands of people on it by now,” Kronman said. A lottery system is now employed for new boat slip requests. The initial lottery fee is $50. “The Waterfront Director, along with the Harbor Commission and City Council together agreed to stop taking names on the waiting list, because we didn’t want to be in the business of administering false expectations,” Kronman explained. Both those on the master waiting list and the lottery list pay a nonrefundable annual fee of $40, according to resolution no. 16-048 of the City Council of Santa Barbara establishing waterfront harbor slip, mooring and user fees. So Santa Barbara, like Long Beach, charges a fee annually to remain on the master wait list or lottery list, but Santa Barbara reveals the reasoning behind the fees. “Funds are needed to defray the cost of providing programs and services furnished by the City,” the resolution states. “The funds needed to defray such operating expenses can and should be obtained by setting fees and charges for these programs and services,” the resolution continues. Some other Southern California marinas make it clear where funds from the collected application fee is allocated. Marina del Rey Marina, for instance, has a $50 application fee to be put on a waiting list for a slip. The waiting list fee is nonrefundable, but the money does go towards a deposit on a slip when one becomes available. Dana West Marina’s waiting list application states “each waitlist requires a refundable deposit equal to one current month’s rent for the size slip desired.” Sunroad Marina in San Diego, Newport Dunes Marina in Newport Beach and Huntington Harbour, however, are some of the marinas which do not charge any application fee to be on or to remain on the waiting list. What do the fees go toward for the people who pay to be on the waiting list in Long Beach? The Log visited each Long Beach marina office on a Thursday afternoon in an attempt to get some questions answered. The Rainbow Marina office was closed in the early afternoon despite office hours posted as 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A note on the door said to contact the Long Beach Shoreline Marina office. How inconvenient is it for boaters attempting to get some resources or drop off a check at the marina office during office hours, only to find the office closed?

Ted Schiafone named as new manager for Oceanside Harbor
By Nina K. Jussila and Parimal M. Rohit
OCEANSIDE — The city of Oceanside has hired a new harbor manager. Ted Schiafone officially stepped into his new role as the waterfront’s director as of Nov. 13 – about five months after the previous harbor manager retired. Schiafone comes from the East Coast with more than 10 years of marina management experience in Florida as the marina director for the Lake Park Harbor Marina and owner of private marinas, city staff relayed. He has “led the $5 [million] dockominium redevelopment of [his own] full service marina, which required extensive environmental and land entitlements,” his professional LinkedIn profile stated. One issue likely to come up during Schiafone’s tenure is the future of Helgren’s Landing. The city has not yet issued a final decision as to whether Helgren’s Sportfishing would continue operating its landing area at Oceanside Harbor or whether another local group could move forward with plans to bring a landing and marine education to the same location. Oceanside’s previous harbor manager, Paul Lawrence, retired after nearly three years; he previously worked at Dana Point Harbor. Lawrence was hired as Oceanside’s harbor manager on Aug. 25, 2014 and

answer when asked about the waiting list for boat slips in Long Beach. She said she was relatively new and “that would be more a question for Dana.” Dana Rhoads is a marina agent with the Long Beach Marine Bureau, but she was unavailable due to an afternoon meeting. The Log ventured over to the Long Beach Marine Bureau office located at the Alamitos Bay Marina. Here The Log was told the fee to be on the waiting list is currently $57. The waiting list policy form posted online states $51, and the source at Shoreline marina office stated $56. A boater can easily be confused by the discrepancy in fees for the waiting list. Who determines the amount of the fee, why the discrepancy in fees and what do these fees go towards? The Long Beach City Council decides on the amount of the waiting list fee, which is an administrative fee, office staff said. Questions about the discrepancy in fee amounts and what the fee pays for
retired on June 16 of this year. His tenure was noted by the clarification of a policy on personal watercraft (kayaks and standup paddleboards) and Ted Schiafone improved water quality around the harbor. Oceanside’s City Council updated the local municipal code in August 2016 to allow for kayakers and standup paddleboard users to navigate in and around the harbor. City law had previously prohibited such personal watercraft from Oceanside Harbor. Lawrence’s tenure also saw the installation of trash skimmers and a bilge pumpout station in the harbor. Bruce Barrette filled in as Interim Harbor Manager after Lawrence retired. Schiafone’s annual salary is $118,206. The posted salary range for the harbor manager position was between $92,888 and $118,212. No information was immediately available on the candidate pool to succeed Lawrence. “I’m really looking forward to working with Ted as he brings a wealth of experience to this position and I know he will thrive in his new role,” City of Oceanside’s Public Works Director Kiel Koger stated. “The harbor is a jewel of the City of Oceanside and I’m sure Ted will make it even better than it is today.” Oceanside Harbor is home to several hundred boats and a yacht club; a select number of liveaboard slips are available. Its boat launch ramp is available free of charge.

exactly remain unanswered. The Log reached out to Rhoads for additional information who referred Kurt Borsting, superintendent for marine operations. Borsting has not answered inquiries from The Log, nor has Marine Bureau Manager Elvira Hallinan responded. The red tape and unanswered questions, again, can only lead to further frustration. Waiting list procedures do obviously vary among marinas up and down the Southern California Coast. A 2006 survey on marina practices in regards to berthing allocation in California, called the Godkin Report, states “demand for slips greatly exceeds supply, particularly in the southern, coastal regions of the state. A few of the marinas surveyed have approximately a 5-year wait for a slip, with some individuals waiting as long as 30-years.” The supply and demand to berth a vessel remains an issue more than 10 years later. The boat slip waiting game can be a nautical nuisance, especially when the process is rather ambiguous as in Long Beach.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — One of Uncle Sam’s relatives came knocking on every Californian’s door on Nov. 1, informing anyone and everyone who could drive a car, ride a motorcycle, navigate a boat or otherwise operate any fuel-consuming vessel they would be paying more at the pump. Gasoline prices have certainly jumped in the days and weeks since, thanks to the passage of Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) earlier this year. SB 1, in case you forgot or need a refresher, called for a 12-cent increase in gasoline taxes. The 12-cent hike was passed on to vehicle drivers, motorcycle drivers and boat owners alike, officially kicking in Nov. 1 (roughly six months after it was approved by legislators and signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown). Policymakers pushed SB 1 forward as a means to raise funds for various infrastructure projects. California’s roads, highways and bridges needed to be improved, according to those who backed SB 1. Enacting a 12-cent gasoline tax, Brown and legislators explained, would be the only way to save the state’s infrastructure from falling apart. Suffering through a gasoline tax now would actually be less painful than the cost of paying for failed infrastructure somewhere down the road, supporters of SB 1 argued. Not everyone has drunk the Kool-Aid yet, naturally. The gasoline tax also spawned efforts to recall at least one member – Josh Newman, D-Fullerton – of the California State Senate. Meanwhile a Republican legislator in Sacramento authored an initiative for the 2018 ballot to have the gasoline tax repealed. As the political process plays out, however, California’s boaters, drivers and motorcyclists, among other vessel

operators, will be paying more at the pump. The Log’s previous coverage of SB 1 confirmed the gasoline tax definitely hits boaters and fuel-based watercraft users no different than terrestrial vessel operators. One boating advocate stated he wouldn’t be using his boat as much once the gasoline tax went into effect. Fuel data gathered by one website in particular would support such a disincentive to navigate one’s vessel in local waters. GasBuddy.com, a website tracking fuel prices nationwide, had California ranked as the state with the most expensive gasoline. The average prices of fuel in California, according to the website, was 3.233 per gallon, about 9 cents higher than the consumer cost of gasoline in Hawai’i, which ranked second highest. The American Automobile Association’s (AAA) study of gasoline prices in California found the current cost of filling up was $3.230 per gallon (as of Nov. 8), up from $3.112 per gallon one week earlier.

Pumpouts in Southern California:
Are boaters pumping or dumping? Boaters are not always properly using pumpout stations in local harbors.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — Pumping out sewage from boats might not be appealing but is obviously necessary if lavatory facilities are utilized onboard. The proper use of pumpout stations is vital to keep boats and harbors clean and fresh. Dumping of sewage by recreational boaters is suspected, Oceanside Harbor Maintenance Supervisor Steve Rodriguez mentioned. However, the consensus among certain local coastal city employees is pumpouts are being used but not always properly. The improper use of pumpout stations has been an issue in at least several local harbors. San Diego Harbor Police reported incidents of boaters pumping petroleum products from their boats’ bilge, according to Port of San Diego spokesperson Marguerite Elicone. Boaters have improperly used pumpout hoses to clean bilges in Newport Beach Harbor and Oceanside Harbor as well, according to sources there. “The big problem that we have is that pumpouts are not only used for sewage pumpout,” Newport Beach Harbor Manager Chris Miller told The Log. “Our pumpouts are unmanned, which means they are free to use and available to use 24 hours a day,” Miller went on to explain. “That’s great because they are accessible. However, that also presents some problems, because it’s hard for us to control the pumpouts are used as they were intended.” Using the sewage hose for sucking up contents in a boat’s bilge has caused damage to pumpouts in Newport Beach Harbor making them inoperable numerous times. “The bottom of a bilge [can have] any number of things that can destroy the insides of the pump unit itself like screws, washers, nuts, bolts and rags. That gets sucked up and then can ruin the inside of our pumps,” Miller elaborated. “It can easily be, in parts alone, a $900 fix not to mention the labor involved, because it ruins the rubber hose.” Oceanside Harbor addressed the misuse of sewage pumpouts by acquiring a bilge pumpout through a grant from The Bay Foundation. Newport Beach Harbor is currently looking into obtaining a bilge pumpout, as well. “The city and I are working on installing a bilge pumpout station or stations in the harbor,” Miller said,

ers, motorcyclists and others are paying almost 44 cents per gallon more today than in November 2016 for gasoline. The cost of diesel has also increased significantly, according to AAA. One gallon of diesel costs $3.497 per gallon, according to AAA’s data on Nov. 8, up from $3.477 the previous day and $3.266 on Nov. 1. Diesel was available for $3.166 per gallon, on average, in early October, according to AAA; the tax increase on diesel use, however, did not apply to offroad vehicles. What about gasoline prices at fuel docks? A quick sampling of Southern California fuel docks in Dana Point, Newport Beach and San Diego revealed a range of prices. Gasoline prices at the fuel dock
at Hill’s Boat Service in Newport Beach were $3.41 (regular) and $3.73 (supreme), as of Nov. 8; both prices included taxes. Hill’s Boat Service added the 12-cent gasoline tax hike the day it went into an effect. High Seas Fuel Dock in San Diego offers 91 Octane at $4.22 per gallon (also factoring in 12-cent gasoline tax hike) one week into the tax hike. Boaters at Dana Point Fuel Dock, meanwhile, were filling up for $3.93 per gallon for regular and $4.18 per gallon for supreme (also as of Nov. 8); both prices factored in the 12-cent gasoline tax hike. The post-tax hike price for gasoline at the fuel dock in Santa Barbara was $3.31 per gallon (cash) on Nov. 8 ($3.41 per gallon for credit card users). The gasoline tax, of course, will hit boaters who don’t fill up at fuel docks,
ment—something that’s not safe for humans or marine life,” Nicole Mooradian, a public information officer with L.A. County’s Department of Beaches and Harbors, said. Bacteria from fecal matter can contaminate the fish people eat and the water where people swim. “One toilet flush of untreated sewage from your boat can cause the same environmental impact as 10,000 flushes from your home toilet,” according to California State Parks and The Bay Foundation. Harbors and beaches are regularly tested for water quality. However, deciphering whether fecal bacteria found in local waters is human and not animal is difficult. Sources related to harbor activities are optimistic boaters care more about water quality than polluting the sea in which they recreate. “The Department [of Beaches and Harbor for the County of Los Angeles] has found that recreational boaters tend to care about the environment and would rather not dump sewage into the same water in which they enjoy their boats, so they are likely to use the Marina’s public pumpouts to keep the water clean,” Mooradian stated. The Clean Vessel Act was passed by Congress in 1992 and provides state funding for harbors to provide and maintain pumpout stations. Most pumpout stations on public docks are free to all boaters and easily accessible. A mobile application, called the Pumpout Nav App, will locate the closest sewage station for boaters. The application can be downloaded through the Division of Boating and Waterways website at bit.ly/2ykrzdz. “It’s a really good app,” Miller said. “I’ve provided a lot of feedback to it as far as Newport goes. All the individual information on the pumpouts that the city owns should be up to date.”
as there are thousands of people in California who keep their vessels on a trailer. “It has already affected business and many boaters are indicating that it will effect their boat usage,” David Beek of Island Marine Fuel in Newport Beach told The Log. “It coincides with a major increase in the ‘barrel’ price, which also increases the price per gallon, so it is a double hit! “We really need to get the tax repealed, or at the very least make Marine Application exempt from the tax,” Beek continued. “Stopthegastax. org is a petition that will attempt to get the tax repeal onto the ballot.” California’s 12-cent tax hike on gasoline certainly makes it a little more expensive to enjoy boating. The question, looking forward, is whether efforts to undo the levy would be successful.

Dock Lines With Capt. Nicole
Discover the ocean’s bounty with freshly caught fish Story and photo by Capt. Nicole Sours Larson SAN DIEGO — Who says you have to have turkey at Thanksgiving, or beef or ham for holiday meals? Why not fish? Making a festive meal of seafood – especially purchased from your local fish market – is a clear option, particularly with so many people now rejecting meat for various reasons but continuing to eat fish. During the summer I checked out San Diego’s three-year-old Saturday morning outdoor fish market, the Tuna Harbor Dockside Market, held 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. I was bowled over at the bounty available. There may be only five or six stalls arranged along the pier between Seaport Village and Ruocco Park along the Embarcadero, but those handful of stalls staffed by San Diego-based fishermen and their families sell up to 10 tons – yes, tons – of fish they’ve caught every Saturday to hundreds of customers, including commercial buyers. While varieties vary by season and the individual fishermen’s catch, you can usually count on the availability of bigeye or yellowfin tuna, opah, skipjack, monchong, rockfish, sand dabs and wahoo. The best way to find out what’s for sale at the market is to sign up for the mailing list at thdocksidemarket. com. Every Friday you’ll receive a listing of what fish are available and their prices, both whole and portions. Lately whole ahi tuna has been running $3.50 per pound for the whole fish and $16.00 for a loin. Why should you care about a San Diego fish market if you don’t live or keep a boat in the vicinity? San Diego fishermen struggled for years to set up a pier-side market where they could bring in their boats and sell their catch. For many, having a direct-toconsumer supplemental sales income means they can continue their chosen way of life as commercial fishermen. It’s a hard, physically demanding, challenging life, especially since U.S. fisheries are the most highly regulated in the world. While many chafe at regulations and compliance difficulties, most fishermen recognize the need for regulations to preserve and manage fish stocks for future survival. But state law made it difficult verging on near impossible for fishermen to set up dockside markets until government officials found a way to issue the market a temporary one-year permit. When the market’s immediate success demonstrated the pent-up demand, then-House Speaker, now State Senator, Toni Atkins of San Diego stepped in and
carried legislation, signed by Governor Brown in 2015, streamlining the permitting process and in effect legalizing open-air fish markets in California. If you’re connected to your fishing fleet and want your own dockside fish market, talk to local fishermen and encourage them to follow the lead of San Diego’s pioneers.

The benefits for the community are clear. Increasingly, with all the scandals about food and especially fish production, people want to know where and how their food is produced. Kelly Fukushima, owner of F/V Three Boys and San Diego market regular, is a passionate advocate for the market and eco-friendly fishing techniques, enabling his crew to harvest from healthy fish stocks while protecting sensitive species. “There’s a real desire of people to be connected with their food source. They want to know that seafood is responsibly caught and that we’re not taking more than we need,” he explained. There are other benefits, too. You can get tips from both the fishermen and their families about what fish to buy and how to prepare it. The skilled staff at the cutting booth will also clean and fillet your fish for a nominal fee. And, like me, you might also summon the courage to go ahead and buy that whole tuna. One day – maybe for the holidays. Note: Please visit thelog.com for a complimentary fish stir-fry recipe.

City Council committee recommends ordinance to prevent abandoning of vessels. By Parimal M. Rohit
SAN DIEGO — Anchoring boats near the entrance of San Diego Bay might become a severely restricted activity, thanks to an ordinance proposal recently approved by a City Council committee. San Diego City Council’s Public Safety and Livable Neighborhoods Committee approved a proposed Municipal Code amendment seeking to prevent boats from being abandoned or left unattended for more than two hours at Zuniga Jetty Shoal, a shallow stretch of the bay located near the harbor entrance. City staff stated abandoned or unattended boats have become a significant nuisance – particularly for the U.S. Navy – in the stretch of San Diego Bay near Coronado’s north shore and Point Loma/Shelter Island. “Officials from the United States Navy report from November 2010 through September 2017 there have been at least 61 abandoned vessels that have sunk, beached or broken apart on this stretch of coastline. In calendar year 2016, there were 21 cases of abandoned vessels on their beach,” city staff stated
in a report to committee members. “These abandoned vessels pose a threat to the environment. In some cases, there are hazardous materials on board that can spill into the ocean.” Shallow waters, wind exposure and ocean conditions are often to blame for vessels breaking from their anchors and becoming a potential liability, according to city staff. “This is a shallow water space directly south of North Island Naval Base,” city staff stated of the Zuniga Jetty Shoal. “This area is exposed to wind, currents and swell from the open ocean. Ocean conditions in this vicinity can be hazardous, especially during storms. Vessel owners or operators often anchor in the shoals and leave their vessels unattended for prolonged periods of time or altogether abandoned. “When ocean conditions or weather become turbulent, these vessels can break free of their anchor lines and sink or become beached,” city staff continued. “Wave action causes them to break apart.” A city staff report on the proposed ordinance cited one incident – reported by the Navy – of a vessel breaking apart from its anchor and spilling between 200 and 400 gallons of gasoline into the bay. “Expenses associated with clean up can be steep,” city staff stated in its report to committee members. “The Navy reports one incident generated a cost of $50,000.”
Other issues associated with vessels breaking away from anchors at the north end of San Diego Bay include marine debris, according to city staff. “Debris from vessels that become wrecks (fiberglass, plastic, wood) end Anchoring boats at the upper end of San Diego Bay, seen here from Shelter up on the beach or Island Boat Launch Ramp, could become restricted if a proposed ordinance ocean floor.

Catalina Connection Lobster fishing has been a bit better than usual at Catalina Island CATALINA ISLAND — Catalina Island is one place where people go to cast hoop nets and catch fresh lobster, in addition to all the other recreational activities the island has to offer. Lobster fishing on the island has, in fact, been slightly better this season than previous years, according to Capt. John King. King, who owns Afishinados Charter and provides tourists with lobster fishing excursions. King took a group out recently and said 101 lobster were caught with 12 of the lobsters the legal size to keep. “Most years your keeper ratio is about 10 percent,” King stated. “For every 10 lobsters that are in the net, you might get one legal. This year, we are a little higher than that.” People experiencing lobster fishing this year have ranged in age from five to 84 years old, King mentioned, adding the 5-year-old “loved measuring every lobster.” King shared an interesting tip and a special recipe for lobster lovers. So many people throw away the lobster

There has been a slight increase in lobster catches at Catalina Island this year, according to Capt. John King. Whether this year’s lobster season will turn out to be one of the best ever, however, still remains to be seen. The season ends March 21, 2018.
legs when the sweetest meat is in the legs, according to King. He recommends cutting the lobster legs off the body just below the hip bone or knuckle. Instead of throwing the legs away like many people do, put the lobster legs in a microwavable dish with a lid with a small gap to let the steam out. Microwave the lobster eggs for one minute and make sure you to
The season for recreational lobster fishing officially opened in California on Sept. 30 and continues through March 21, 2018. The long season provides ample time to fish for lobster. California Department of Public Health did issue a warning earlier this season to not eat lobster caught around Santa Cruz Island and Anacapa Island due to toxic domoic acid levels. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife declared closure of spiny lobster fisheries near these Channel Islands due to the warning. Catalina Island has not been restricted. “People come to Catalina, because it’s a pure destination for a lot of things – fishing, hoop netting, diving, hiking…” King stated.
listen for as many pops as lobster legs are in the dish. “It cooks the meat perfectly and shoots them straight out of the leg,” King explained. “So what we love is lobster legs and eggs in the morning after we hoop netted. We take the lobster legs and stick them over some scrambled eggs with some cheese and salsa.”

Your boat’s fire extinguishers may be part of a national recall A product safety recall was issued, Nov. 2, on Kidde fire extinguishers. By Nina K. Jussila
NATIONWIDE — A product safety recall has been issued nationwide for a particular brand of fire extinguishers. Consumers may have these extinguishers in their vehicle, home or vessel. Certain Kidde fire extinguishers with plastic handles were recalled on Nov.
2. The fire extinguisher might fail to discharge due to a clogged nozzle or the nozzle becoming detached. One death had already been reported due to the fire extinguisher malfunctioning. The Log’s columnist, Capt. Nicole Sours Larson, and her husband found one fire extinguisher on their boat to be part of the recall. “You have to run the model number, serial number, date of manufacture and the year you bought it,” Larson said. “You fill out a form, submit and get an immediate response.” The Larsons completed the online
form and did receive a response from the company stating a new fire extinguisher will arrive in four to eight weeks. “The recent recall from a few days ago on the Kidde product line has not produced any calls to our office,” Newport Beach Harbormaster Dennis Durgan told The Log on Nov. 8. “I am going to check all of our extinguishers around Marina Park and on all of our boats and my own personal boats for compliance.” The Santa Barbara Waterfront Department held a Harbor Watch meeting, Nov. 8, where the fire department
demonstrated the proper use of fire extinguishers and fire dock boxes. The subject of the recall did not come up at the meeting. However, all fire extinguishers and fire dock boxes have already been checked around the harbor and none of them are part of the recall, according to Harbor Operations Manager Mick Kronman. The Kidde consumer contact number is 855-271-0773. More information about the Kidde fire extinguisher recall can be found online at bit. ly/2h6A6xb.

FEATURED EVENT
Autumn Sea Fair comes to Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, Nov. 19 By Nina K. Jussila
“We’ll have lots of organizations that deal with the health of the ocean,” DePompei said. “One of our missions here at the aquarium is conservation of the ocean. “We’ll have live music inside the aquarium. We’ll have taiko drummers,” DePompei continued. “We have a bird walk. Our salt marsh will be open, [and] we’ll have staff out in the salt marsh.” The Cabrillo Marine Aquarium is located at 3720 Stephen M. White Drive in San Pedro. The aquarium’s website is cabrillomarineaquarium.org.
Cabrillo Marine Aquarium photos
SAN PEDRO — Celebrate our opulent ocean at the Autumn Sea Fair, a free event open to the public, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Nov. 19. The Sunday seafaring event, facilitated by the city of Los Angeles Recreation and Parks Department, takes place at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium in San Pedro. Families can enjoy free activities and educational opportunities related to the sea. Partake in sand sculpture contests and a pirate treasure hunt on the
inner beach. Children can practice casting a fishing rod, take part in various arts and crafts activities, and learn more about ways to help get involved in preserving our ocean. Many marine conservation groups will be sharing information on how to be more responsible stewards of the sea. Cabrillo Marine Aquarium Program Director Jim DePompei mentioned National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the water district and Catalina Conservancy divers will be there.

The Log’s Guide to Southern California Boatyards
BOATYARD GUIDE 2018
Whether the time has come for regular maintenance, repairs or a major refit project, Southern California offers a wide range of full-service boatyards, each with its own specialties and staff of skilled craftspeople. The Log’s 2018 Guide to Southern California Boatyards (including facilities in Mexico) offers boaters useful information to start a search for the right repair and haulout facility. This guide provides key data about every Southern California boatyard, including areas of specialty and on-site amenities, to narrow down the many choices. Every entry includes pertinent contact information for each local boatyard, such as a name, address, phone number, fax number, website and e-mail address, if available. The Log recently surveyed the region’s boatyards to ensure that each listing is as accurate and up-to-date as possible. The Log assumes no responsibility for changes that may have occurred since the survey was conducted. Please email information on any needed changes for next year’s guide to editor@thelog.com.

Third generation sailor Tyler Sinks is pictured here with his proud father, Chuck Sinks, after winning the Lipton Cup for San Diego Yacht Club.
Tyler Sinks feels right at home with Lipton Cup victory Regatta’s location on an urban waterfront makes for challenging sailing conditions. By Nina K. Jussila
SAN DIEGO — There’s no place like home. Tyler Sinks proved this motto to be the case as he and his crew delivered the Sir Thomas Lipton Cup trophy home to San Diego Yacht Club on Oct. 29. Sinks skippered the J/105 into first place with crewmembers Jake La Dow, Erik Shampain, Melissa Denman, Jake Reynolds, Max Hutcheson and Chris Busch; it was his second Lipton Cup win in three years. The winning sailor gave full credit to his crew for the recent win saying skippering is the easiest job when competing in regattas. “I had a really fantastic crew,” Sinks said. “I truly believe that because we had a good team, we were successful.” Did the San Diego YC team have a different strategy this year after placing third last year? “We didn’t change a whole lot, mindset wise,” Sinks responded. “I felt like last year we sailed equally as good with maybe a few less mistakes. “I think the experience of doing this regatta a few times now has definitely played to our benefit,” Sinks added. Does the yacht club hosting the regatta have a home team advantage? “From a San Diego Yacht Club perspective and from a member per-
spective, I actually feel like we have the hardest local event to win,” Sinks answered. The Lipton Cup is more challenging than other yacht club sailing competitions for several reasons, according to Sinks. “For one, we never sail J/105s, which is what the regatta is held in,” Sinks said. “We only sail the J/105s really for the Lipton Cup.” Sinks said the second reason why the Lipton Cup is so challenging, even to the host team, is the venue being in downtown San Diego on the city-front. “That’s an extremely challenging and tricky place to sail,” Sinks explained. “The amount of time that we actually have on the race course is so few and far between, there’s really no local knowledge or home feel advantage from that perspective, which is really unique with the event.” The third and final explanation Sinks gave for the difficulty of the Lipton Cup: having one team per yacht club. “The format makes it very fair [and also] makes it very hard to consistently win the event,” Sinks said. “I would really say the only advantage, if you want to call it an advantage, is that we get to sleep in our own bed at night,” Sinks added. “It’s much more of a challenge for our yacht club to be at a huge advantage when we never sail the boats [and] when we never sail the race course.” The writer of this article asked Sinks if this regatta is similar to a long-distance race where runners pace themselves to conserve energy and then
sprint at the end. “I would say that’s probably the best way to describe it,” Sinks responded. “The thing that I always say about the Lipton Cup is – it’s a marathon not a sprint. “It’s not uncommon for a team to have a really strong day – especially the first or second day – and be in a position to potentially win the event, but Sunday is really when the regatta is won,” Sinks continued. The strategy for the first couple days of the race is to not lose, while the final day of the race is the fight to win, according to Sinks. Sinks admitted he might be biased but he thinks California – and, more specifically, San Diego – is his favorite place to sail (with the exception of possibly the Caribbean and Hawaiian Islands). Sailing on the West Coast is better than on the East Coast, in his opinion. He points out he did live in Boston for four years. “I’d say a combination of the best sailors, good wind conditions year round and a fantastic venue and host club like San Diego Yacht Club makes it almost unrivaled,” Sinks stated. Sinks started sailing at the age of six. He was enrolled in the summer sailing program at San Diego YC as soon as he was old enough. He said one of the highlights of his career was at the age of 13 when he won the sabot nationals for the first time. Sinks sees sailing going in many different directions today compared to 20 years ago or less when he was a kid sailing on monohulls.
“Now a days, it seems like the competitions get spread out amongst so many different classes.” Sinks said. “I’d rather compete in one or two classes with everybody in the world and have all the best guys sailing one or two boats versus 50 or 100 different classes with a lot less people. “Other people may like the options and think that certain boats are better for certain people,” Sinks added. “I’m not in that same school of thought, but maybe I’m old school.” The 28-year old sailor has no Olympic aspirations. He plans to continue competing in club challenges. He likes the competition between amateur and professionals who are sailing for the love of the sport and not for money. Sinks may be the exception to the rule among his sailing comrades saying many of his close friends he competed with in school have continued successfully sailing on at an international and professional level. His friends Charlie Buckingham and Cy Thompson competed in the 2016 Olympic Games. He said Buckingham is campaigning to compete again in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. A teammate of his from Newport Beach, Michael Menninger, just won the 2017 Worlds Etchells Championship. “One of my best friends and college roommates, Taylor Canfield, has won the World Match Racing Tour and continues to be one of the top match racers in the world competing professionally,” Sinks said. “I chose to get a desk job,” Sinks See TYLER SINKS page 35

The latest South of the Border cruise featured 154 entries. By Parimal M. Rohit
CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico — The large contingent of cruisers navigating the Baja California coast finally completed one of the most popular West Coast events of the year, with the Baja HaHa Rally officially in the books. Cruisers left San Diego in late October and made their respective ways down to Cabo San Lucas, where participants arrived, Nov. 11. The left San Diego on Oct. 29 and arrived at Turtle Bay a few days later; Bahia Santa Maria and Cabo San Lucas were also on the itinerary. This year’s Baja HaHa featured 154 entries, with a majority of cruisers from California or the West Coast. Other entries hailed from Alaska, Hawai’i, Nevada, Virginia, Arizona, Ohio,
Illinois, New Mexico, South Carolina, New Jersey, Minnesota, Alabama, Canada, Mexico, Switzerland, Germany and The Philippines. One of the rally’s highlights was a “Where’s Poobah?” game, according to a report published on Latitude 38’s website; Latitude 38 is the organizing body of the annual Baja HaHa. The game was essentially a “Where’s Waldo?” contest, where cruisers had to spot “Poobah” – an individual wearing a flourescent orange t-shirt. Baja HaHa, of course, is also noted for hosting several parties at its stop locations, including the finale at Cabo San Lucas. The end of Baja HaHa, also, isn’t necessarily the end for some of the participants. Cabo San Lucas becomes a jumping off point to the Sea of Cortez or Pacific Ocean destinations. Boats participating in this year’s rally from Southern California included Jacquot Bateau, Day Dream, Matador,

Eligibility for Transpac’s “Barn Door” trophy loosened
From page 34
First to Finish competitors previously barred from race’s hardware are now eligible.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — The field for Transpac’s First to Finish “Barn Door” trophy might be a little more crowded in 2019, as eligibility requirements for monohull yachts racing in the biannual event were loosened by the Transpacific Yacht Club’s board of directors, it was recently announced. All restrictions on use of moveable ballasts or non-manual power will be removed from the notice of race for the 2019 Transpacific – or Transpac – Yacht Race. The next edition of the race, which will be Transpac’s 50th, is expected to start during the week of July 8, 2019. First-to-finish participants are restricted from competing in vessels larger than 100 feet (30.48 meters) in length. Changes were made to keep Transpac consistent with other ocean races in the world, such as Fastnet, Middle Sea and Sydney-Hobart. Monohulls entered with moveable ballasts or non-manual power were eligible to compete for the “Barn Door” trophy. However First to Finish participants with such systems aboard were barred from winning the “Barn Door” between 2009 and 2017, instead being in the running for the Merlin Trophy, according to race organizers. Previous First to Finish winners were Dorade (1936), Ticonderoga (1963-65), Ragtime (1973-74), Merlin (1977, 1981, 1987) and Pyewacket (1997-99, 2007). Among the eligible vessels for the “Barn Door” are IMOCA 60s, Volvo 70s

and SuperMaxis. “We are mindful of the traditions of Transpac to encourage the amateur yachtsman to participate in this great race and adventure across the Pacific,” Transpacific YC Commodore Tom Hogan said in a released statement. “This race will continue to attract those who want to challenge themselves and the sea, and we will continue to have many great awards to recognize their achievements in racing under handicap. “Yet we also want to be among the other great races of the world in offering one of our oldest trophies to those who push the boundaries of technology to go as fast as possible in quest of higher and higher performance,” Hogan continued. The Notice of Race of the 50th Transpac race will be available in early 2018, according to organizers. Questions about the race and selection criteria can be directed to Transpacific YC Technical Committee Chairman Alan Andrews at alan@ andrewsyacht.com. Visit transpactyc.com for more infor-
mation on the 2017 and earlier editions of the race. Transpac is a 2,225-mile biennial ocean race between Los Angeles and Honolulu, Hawai’i. The first edition of the race was run in 1906.
added. Sinks does have a world title under his skipper belt. He was the team captain during the Team Racing World Championship a couple years ago. He said he learned out lot from Menninger, who was on his team. “That’s the first World Championship and the only one that I’ve won,” Sinks said. Working a full-time day job in commercial real estate while taking evening classes and pursuing a master’s degree at University of San Diego does not leave much time for Sinks to sail these days. Sailing has taken a bit of a backseat for Sinks as he focuses on his studies and his professional career, but he does plan to continue. Sinks mentioned water sports have always been a part of his life from sailing and paddle boarding to swimming and surfing. “Sailing is a way to connect with the ocean and stay involved,” Sinks said.

Fisheries report also stated 5.8 billion pounds of seafood was imported into U.S. last year. By Parimal M. Rohit
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A federal report studying the state of commercial and recreational fisheries in the United States found 9.6 million anglers made 63 million fishing trips in 2016, it was announced Nov. 1. A majority of the 371 million-plus fish caught last year (61 percent) were released alive, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) report. The NOAA fisheries report added striped bass was the most harvested catch of 2016, by weight, for saltwater anglers. Other top catches last year,
in order, were dolphinfish, bluefish, yellowfin tuna, spotted seatrout and summer flounder. NOAA’s report, overall, stated commercial and recreational fisheries continue to be a significant contributor to the national economy. The recreational fishery, for example, contributed about $36 million to the national economy in 2015, according to the NOAA report. Commercial fisherman reportedly landed fewer pounds of seafood in 2016 (9.6 billion pounds, down 1.5 percent from the 2015 catch totals) but yielded higher financial value ($5.3 billion, up 2.1 percent from 2015). “The highest value commercial species were lobster ($723 million), crabs ($704 million), scallops ($488 million), shrimp ($483 million), salmon ($420 million), and Alaska walleye pollock ($417 million),” NOAA staff said in a released statement about the fisher-

Counting Sheep in Oxnard By Parimal M. Rohit OXNARD — The Los Angeles Dodgers might have lost the 2017 World Series, but 10-year-old angler Justin Jacob was a winner when he reeled in a sheephead while fishing aboard Capt. Steve Earwood’s Coroloma in late October. Jacob’s catch was made with live sardine near Anacapa Island. A Nov. 5 threequarter-day fishing trip aboard Coroloma returned to shore with 11 sheephead. Coroloma’s sister ship, Outrider, returned to shore the same day with 23 sheephead.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LOG NEWS SERVICE) — U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke announced Nov. 7 the establishment of the “Made in America” Recreation Advisory Committee. The committee, he said, would advise him on public-private partnerships across all public lands, with the goal of expanding access to and improving infrastructure on public lands and waterways. “The spirit of American innovation and ingenuity is what built our country and the Interior Department wants that same spirit and energy to resonate within the realm of outdoor recreation on our public lands,” Zinke said. “By forming this committee, I look forward to hearing from the best and the brightest in our private sector on how to improve the public experience on our federal lands and waters by expanding access for all Americans.” According to the Outdoor Industry Association, outdoor recreation generates $887 billion in economic impact and supports 7.6 million jobs across the country.

National initiative aims to promote angling, recreational boating
By Parimal M. Rohit
The seven-member MOU aims to focus on angler recruitment, retention and reactivation through a “60 in 60” plan – increase the current angling population (ages 6 and older) to 60 million within 60 months. An estimated 47 million anglers (ages 6 and older) exist nationwide, according to RBFF staff. The 60 in 60 plan launched in April 2016, meaning officials hope to achieve 60 million anglers nationwide by 2021.

Anglers helped raise funds for the ongoing restoration efforts of Carpinteria Salt Marsh. “Anglers fished coastal waters from kayaks and caught a wide variety of local game fish. Among the species landed by participants were surf perch, calico bass, sand bass, corbina, halibut and white sea bass,” according to an official statement on the tournament.

Rescue program for vaquita porpoises suspended autopsy to determine the cause of death. Attempts to protect the remaining porpoises might react similarly, leading experts to believe any further captures of vaquitas would be risky. “These tiny porpoises do not respond well to the stress of capture, and not a single additional vaquita should be deliberately put in danger in this way,” the Animal Welfare Institute

Ventura Harbor experiences record squid haul By Parimal M. Rohit
VENTURA — “The squid fleet is back,” Frank Locklear, Ventura Harbor’s manager of Commercial Fisheries, Marina and Technology, told The Log in mid-November, days after the port district experienced a record haul of the cephalopod. Purse seine vessels harvesting squid had been hauling in big catches in recent weeks, which is good news for Ventura’s commercial fisheries. Ventura Port District General Manager Oscar Pena said the squid catch had been slow for about three years before large loads started arriving in early November. Locklear said several hundred tons of squid were arriving into the harbor at any given time. He added he was turning boats away. The influx of activity surrounding Ventura Harbor’s squid haul meant increased work at the local boatyard and area restaurants reaching capacity, according to Locklear. Ventura Harbor, which Locklear believes has been the epicenter of

the commercial squid catch in recent weeks, can process up to 500 tons of the cephalopod per day. The recent batch of squid catches can yield a commercial fishery about $1,000 per ton, according to Locklear – mostly due to a depleted supply of squid worldwide. The 2017 squid season started on April 1 and will end when the federal quota of 118,000 tons is reached.

SoCal and Baja’s #1 Source for Fresh and Saltwater Fishing
SALTWATER OCEAN FISHING REPORT By Terrence Berg 976-TUNA.com SAN DIEGO LONG-RANGE: The yellowfin, yellowtail, and Dorado bite for the mid-range trips running down the Baja coast and fishing floating kelp continue to be good. The 2.5-day trip aboard Pacific Queen out of Fisherman’s Landing returned Nov. 5 with 29 anglers who landed 166 yellowfin tuna, 120 yellowtail, and 45 Dorado. BLUEFIN TUNA NEWS: As the weather cools, the bluefin tuna season is dwindling – not because there aren’t bluefin off the coast, but because angler pressure has declined. The few boats targeting the tuna locally on everything from three-quarter-day trips out of San Diego to the overnight and 1.5-day trips from landings from Los Angeles to San Diego counties are still finding fish. There are far fewer big fish, but still a lot up to 60 pounds.
NOAA Fisheries From page 36
collectively yielded 176.4 million pounds of seafood (valued at about $216.1 million). The best year for California’s commercial landings, according to NOAA’s report, was in 1936. Landings here yielded more than 1.76 billion pounds of seafood that year. Port Hueneme Harbor in Oxnard
Old Glory out of H&M Landing had 17 anglers on its Nov. 8 overnight trip and landed 16 bluefin tuna, most 40 to 60 pounds, and lost a couple of bigger grade fish. Oceanside 95 out of Helgren’s had 34 anglers on its Nov. 7 1.5-day trip and landed 18 yellowfin to 60 pounds, but were blanked on the bluefin. The Nov. 5 trip with 35 anglers produced 32 bluefin and one yellowtail. The three-quarter-day San Diego out of Seaforth Sportfishing had 23 anglers on its Nov. 8 trip and landed two smaller bluefin tuna, 115 yellowtail, and 50 bonito. The Nov. 6 trip with 24 anglers produced one bluefin, 112 yellowtails, 49 bonito, and 18 calico bass.
Freelance out of Davey’s Locker had 15 anglers on its three-quarter-day trip to Catalina and landed 21 perch, 20 rockfish, eight whitefish, three calico bass, two red snapper, two sheephead, and one bonito. Monte Carlo had 19 anglers on its Nov. 6 halfday out of 22nd Street Landing and landed 75 bonito and 35 rockfish. At L.A. Waterfront Sportfishing, Sport King had just four anglers on the Nov. 8 three-quarter-day trip, but landed 65 whitefish, 20 rockfish, eight keeper calicos, three red snapper, three bonito, two sheephead, and one sand bass. New Del Mar out of Maria del Rey Sportfishing had 45 anglers on its Nov. 7 half-day and landed 170 rockfish, 32 bonito, and three lingcod.
CATALINA AND NEARSHORE UPDATE: The yellowtail bite at Catalina Island has become even tougher with just a handful reported over the past week. While a few bonito and bass are still showing, most of the skippers targeting Catalina are switching over to bottom fish. For the nearshore boats fishing mostly half-day trips, the bottomfish action has been pretty good and a lot of bonito are still showing in some areas.
VENTURA-SANTA BARBARA UPDATE: The Ventura and Santa Barbara area Landings’ boats continue to have excellent rockfish action, but the bite on calico bass is dwindling for most boats. Those targeting the bass are still getting the fish. A few yellowtails continue to show, mostly quality fish in the 15- to 25-pound range, but the numbers have declined.
was the top producing California landing for commercial fisheries in 2016, according to the NOAA report. Commercial landings there yielded 38 million pounds last year, a $26 million value. An estimated 37 million pounds of seafood was landed at the Port of Los Angeles in 2016, up from 15 million pounds the year before. An estimated 5.8 billion pounds of seafood was reportedly imported
into the United States in 2016, a one percent increase from 2015. The seafood imports, worth $19.5 billion (3.5 percent increase from 2015), were mostly caught from American fisherman, according to NOAA. “A significant portion of this imported seafood is caught by American fishermen, exported overseas for processing, and then reimported to the United States.

and salmon are two of the top three imported species and much of that is farm-raised,” NOAA staff said in its published statement. The NOAA report also indicated the average American consumed less fish and shellfish in 2016. An estimated 14.9 pounds of fish and shellfish were consumed by the average American in 2016, compared to 15.5 pounds consumed in 2015.
