BIZARRE

The Betta Fish Defined: Man-Made Living Art By: KATHERINE CLEMENTS

of marshes, ponds, and slow-moving streams throughout Asia betta fish, also known as Siamese fighting fish, snack on insects and build bubble nests with their mouths for their young. For centuries, humans have been attracted by the beauty of the betta, their slender bodies and oversized fins move like colorful fabric floating in the water.

However, the betta did not become living art on its own. Instead, the betta’s decorated bodies and long, fluidic fins are the product of a millennium of careful selective dog-like breeding.

“Quite literally the fish equivalent of dog domestication,” said Yi-Kai Tea, a doctoral candidate at the University of Sydney who studies the evolution and speciation of fishes, in a May 14 from the New York Times.

A new study done by bioRxiv, an open access preprint repository for the biological sciences, hosted by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, conducted in April 2021 shows that through genome sequencing, humans began domesticating bettas at least 1,000 years ago. The bet-

SOUTHEAST, ASIA —In shallow waters

According to PetMD, betta fish can recognize their human guardians and will swim about excitedly when they see their guardian approaching. They are very curious and will inspect new items put into their tank, which can help keep them mentally stimulated. tas were initially domesticated for fighting purposes, very similar to cockfighting culture. The millennium of thorough selection created the dazzling diversity of the domestic betta fish we see in pet

stores today. However, that millennium also caused wild and domestic betta fish to be subjected to extensive genetic changes. By studying the genes of the betta fish, the study’s authors argue, sci-

entists can learn a great deal about how domestication alters the genes of wild animals.

“Wild bettas can look very different from ornamental bettas,” said Young Mi Kwon, a researcher at Columbia University and lead author of the study in the New York Times article. “They have short fins, duller coloration, and lack the striking finnage that you can find in ornamental varieties. While it is known that domestic bettas are highly aggressive, fighting each other to the death if put in the same aquarium, wild betta a far less aggressive.

This is likely because the ornamental species were initially domesticated for fighting, similar to cockfights,” said Kwon.

Researchers discovered that domestic bettas contradict the genetics of their wild cousins. However, researchers were surprised to find domestic and wild bettas have interbred in past and recent years. This hybridization, likely due to the release of domestic bettas into the wild, could threaten conservation efforts.

There is still much to be learned about how domestication is affecting bettas, but the process has produced plenty of beautiful fish whose bizzare and enchanting colors and shapes may never have existed otherwise.

FAST FACTS

Gray Whale Migration Has Landed in Baja CLEMENTS

BAJA — The first whales of the

annual gray whale migration have begun to arrive in Baja, after accomplishing one of the longest migrations of any mammal.

Gray whales travel 12,000 miles round-trip from their feeding grounds in the Arctic to calve and breed in the Baja lagoons and then back again.

Gray whales spend their summers feeding in the nutrient-rich waters of the Arctic, however sometimes whales are seen further south during summer, even in California.

Reader Q&A

Q

“The SAGARPA website is not activated. What is a process for US citizen to buy US flagged vessel, which is already in MX?”

A

We reached out to columnist and maritime attorney David Weil and here is what he had to say.

“If at all possible, the boat should be transported back to the U.S. prior to change of ownership. The problem concerns the Mexican Temporary Import Permit (TIP)…All vessels larger than 4.5 M are required to have a TIP regardless of the intended length of stay. Mexican

In September, gray whales begin to leave their Arctic food bank, migrating south along the coastline to breed and calve in Baja. Gray whales travel at approximately five miles per hour and travel about 75 miles per day.

Adult females and males begin to arrive in the lagoons of Baja in December, although not all whales arrive at the same time. Whales continue to arrive in the Lagoon into late January. There are four lagoons in Baja where the whales populate: Guerrero Negro, Laguna Ojo de Liebre, Magdalena Bay, and Laguna San Ignacio.

Please see FAST FACTS, PAGE 8

By Katherine Clements

Customs will consider a vessel without a TIP to be illegally in the country and subject to fines and/or confiscation. It is illegal to sell a Temporarily Imported Vessel in Mexico or Mexican Territorial waters. The proper procedure calls for the seller of the boat to cancel his or her TIP and transfer title outside of Mexico. The new owner would then apply for a new TIP in the name of the new owner prior to bringing the boat back into Mexico…Some of these procedures may be avoided with “help” from local authorities but this is where things could get dicey.”

Thanks to a moratorium on whaling and other multinational protections, the eastern Pacific population of gray whales is thriving with around 26,000 individuals and a Red List status of Least Concern.

The Maritime Administration changed its approval process for the Request for Transfer of Ownership, Registry, and Flag or Charter, Lease, or Mortgage of U.S. documented vessels (MA-29) to include a notification to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Port of San Diego Suspends In-water Hull Cleaning of Boats with Copper-Based Paint Starting in December SAN DIEGO— The Port of San Diego

is suspending the in-water hull cleaning of boats with copper-based paint in the Shelter Island Yacht Basin from Dec. 19 to Feb. 9, 2022. The suspension will allow the port to conduct frequent inspections and weekly water testing to test the copper levels in the water.

As a result, the port expects to see a reduction in copper loads and improved water quality. The pause is in partnership with the Regional Water Quality Control Board and is part of the port’s Copper Reduction Program. The port has a goal to reduce copper pollution in the basin by 76 percent by Dec. 1, 2022. This is in compliance with federal and state standards. There will be a minimum $1,000 fine for performing in-water hull cleaning on vessels with copper antifouling paint during the pause. For more information, see https://www.portofsandiego.org/ environment/environmental-protection/ copper-reduction-program.

The regulations would require vessels to upgrade to a U.S. EPA certified marine tier 3 or tier 4 engine plus a diesel particulate filter between 2023 and 2030.

The proposed engines are not safe for wooden or fiberglass vessels and would require some businesses to scrap their vessel to accommodate the engine. “The

CARB board heard from boat owners that the proposed regulations are economically and structurally infeasible for their family operations,” said Ken Franke, president of the Sportfishing Association of California in a Nov. 20 press release.

“They also heard from Californians concerned that as boat owners go out of business, they will be denied access to offshore fishing and marine life and with this comes economic consequences for their coastal economies.” CARB is expected to revisit the proposed regulations early in 2022.

Port of Seattle and Center for Biological Diversity Reach Agreement on Project for Orca Conservation SEATTLE, WASH. — On Nov. 16, the Port of Seattle and the Center for Biological Diversity reached a legal agreement resolving a Center lawsuit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the National Oceanic Atmospheric Association Fisheries that sought additional environmental considerations for a dredging project that could affect 73 resident orcas. This particular population of orcas is an endangered population that ranges from southeast Alaska to central California and lives part of the year in the Salish Sea. The lawsuit was filed against federal agencies, but the port, a local sponsor of the Seattle Harbor Navigation Improvement Project, intervened to ensure the completion of the project. The agreement includes funding for several environmental programs

and habitat improvement. The port has committed to continuing its participation in the multi-party Quiet Sound Program, an effort to provide greater protection to the Southern Resident killer whale community from ship-induced noise and disturbance. The port will also expand the funding of shoreline restoration at Terminal 108 and conduct a monitoring study of acoustic impacts from dredging at a planned Terminal 18 maintenance dredging project. The agreement is valued at approximately $640,000.

October 2021 World’s Fourth Warmest on Record INTERNATIONAL— Scientists at the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) said that Oct. 2021 is ranked as the fourth warmest October on record in 142 years. According to scientists, the average global land and ocean surface temperature in October was 1.60 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20-century average. The last eight Octobers are ranked the eighth warmest on average, and this is the second warmest October land temperature on record for North America behind October 1963.

According to the NCEI’s Global Annual, Temperature Rankings Outlook 2021 is on track to be among the 10 warmest years on record worldwide. For more information, see the NOAA website at https://www.noaa.gov/news/october2021-was-worlds-fourth-warmest-onrecord.

How do I handle the warranty on my new boat?

QUESTION:

I am in the process of buying a new boat. This is my first boat and I am concerned about the warranty. What is generally covered, and how long is a typical warranty?

What are the legal requirements? How are warranty claims handled?

David Weil is the managing attorney at Weil & Associates (www.weilmaritime.com) in Seal Beach.

He is certified as a Specialist in Admiralty and Maritime Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization and a “Proctor in Admiralty” Member of the Maritime Law Association of the United States, an adjunct professor of Admiralty Law, and former legal counsel to the California Yacht Brokers Association. If you have a maritime law question for Weil, he can be contacted at 562-799-5508, through his website at www.weilmaritime.com, or via email at dweil@weilmaritime.com.

ANSWER: Boat warranties vary considerably between manufacturers and whether you are buying a new boat or a used boat it’s a good idea to spend some time reading the fine print.

Unlike a car warranty, the warranty for your boat will generally cover only the components that the manufacturer was directly responsible for building and installing. In many cases this will be limited to the structural integrity of the hull and deck and certain parts that are actually manufactured by the boat builder. Important equipment such as engines and generators are likely to be covered separately by the manufacturers of those items. Similarly, marine electronics, stoves, propellers, and almost everything else that is important to the operation of a boat will be covered separately.

The warranty documents will answer a lot of important questions, including (1) what is covered by the warranty (or warranties)? (2) What is the Please see ATTORNEY, PAGE 7

time period of the warranty coverage? (3) What are the claims procedures? And (4) may the warranty be transferred from the original owner to a subsequent owner?

State and Federal consumer protection laws require manufacturers and dealers to process claims promptly and in good faith. However, procedures for making a warranty claim will differ between manufacturers, and there are generally no legal minimum standards for the items that must be covered by warranty. The warranty is basically viewed as a marketing feature which should be considered by a prospective purchaser when evaluating the other features of the boat.

Assuming a particular failure is covered, the claim process under a boat warranty may nonetheless be very frustrating. Most of us are familiar with the “Lemon Law” that protects the buyer of a new car from warranty frustration, but the Lemon Law does not protect the buyer of a boat.

As the buyer of a “consumer good,” a boat buyer in California is protected by a body of law known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (California Civil Code sec. 1790). The Song-Beverly Act enforces manufacturer’s warranties on all consumer goods sold in California. It covers everything from computers to refrigerators, and it does cover the purchase of a new boat. Under this law, a manufacturer who fails to fix a problem covered by a warranty after a “reasonable number of attempts,” must either replace the product or reimburse the buyer for the purchase price, less the amount “directly attributable to use by the buyer” prior to the discovery of the problem (depreciation).

Failure to comply with the law will subject the manufacturer to strict penalties.

The Song-Beverly Act has one glaring problem for the buyer of a new boat: It fails to consider that a boat is a complicated machine, with a long list of complex systems that may be subject to failure. A manufacturer will be in compliance with the Song-Beverly Act if it repairs each of

those failed systems within a “reasonable time,” notwithstanding that it may have deprived the owner of the use of the boat for many months of accumulated down time during the repairs, and notwithstanding that there is no definition for what amounts to a “reasonable time.”

Song-Beverly may work fine for a toaster or a television, but it does not adequately protect the buyer of a new boat.

In contrast, new car buyers are in a much better position. California’s “Lemon Law” is set forth in the Tanner Consumer Protection Act (Civil Code sec. 1793.22), but the scope of the law is expressly limited to “new motor vehicles.” The Tanner Act offers a number of protections to the buyer of a new car, including a requirement that the manufacturer replace the car or refund the purchase price if, during the first 18 months or 18,000 miles, the car is out of service due to warranty repairs for a cumulative total of more than 30 calendar days. Further, under the Tanner Act the new car buyer is entitled to a refund of the full purchase price without any deduction for depreciation.

Most of the 50 states have some sort of “lemon law” protection, and the law is almost always limited to buyers of new cars. Exceptions may exist, however, and the best approach for a boat owner who is either concerned about the warranty prior to buying the boat or concerned with a continuing problem is to contact an experienced attorney for advice on their particular case.

Dana Point Harbor received a letter from Bellwether Financial alerting them of a 26 to 96 percent increase in slip fees beginning on Oct. 1.

Rates for slips under 30 feet would increase by 26 percent, and the largest slips between 55 and 60 feet would increase by 90 percent.

The increase in the slip rates was calculated using market rates from marinas in Orange County, with the majority based in Newport Beach.

The Dana Point Boaters Association sent a letter to Orange County Supervisor Lisa Bartlett questioning the calculation and requesting that the county would step in to address the affordability of the slip fee raise.

In an Aug. 10 letter addressed to the Orange County Board of Supervisors, Dennis C. Winters, a legal advisor for the Dana Point Boaters Association, alleged that the Dana Point Harbor Partners were in violation of the spirit of lease and the Tidelands Grant to the County, which states that prices will be ‘market rate’ and pricing would be reasonably determined and consistent with the limitation on pricing as mandated by the grant.

On Sept. 2, the Recreational Boaters of California sent a letter to the California Coastal Commission and the California State Lands Commission advocating for DPBA and requesting that the State Lands Commission take timely action to prevent the increase.

On Sept. 22, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Dana Point Harbor Partners on behalf of slip holders in Dana Point Harbor. The suit was filed in the Orange County Superior Court and asked the court to stop the proposed 26 to 96 percent increase in slip fees, which the suit alleges is out of line compared to the market rate for publicly owned marinas. The suit also asks for damages.

The suit alleges the rate increase violates the county’s policy on slip increases and also violates the Tidelands Grant. Lastly, the suit alleges the Dana Point Marina holds a monopoly position as the only large publicly owned marina

in Orange County and has breached the obligation to treat slip holders in a fair and reasonable manner forcing the boaters to take action.

WHAT’S ON TAP : The slip fee increase went

into effect on Oct. 1, and the Dana Point Boaters Association recommended that Dana Point Boaters pay the increase but write paid under protest on the memo line of the check.

On Nov. 5, there was a Preliminary Injunction hearing in front of an Orange County judge. The judge did not issue the injunction but found that boaters have the right to sue the Dana Point Harbor Partners for violation of the lease and county rules.

“She gave us a ruling that, in fact, the boaters do have standing under the lease agreement with the county and the party beneficiaries, which looks good on our side,” said Dennis Winters, the representing attorney for the Dana Point Boaters Association. “But she wouldn’t grant the preliminary injunction because of a need for further evidence.”

According to Winters, the judge will need to see previous orders from the Orange County Board of Supervisors showing how market rates were to be determined and proof that the Dana Point Harbor had followed those orders in the past.

There will also need to be documentation that the Dana Point Harbor Partners violated the terms of those parameters.

Winters said this is not a one-shot thing and that they are in it for the long haul; the next steps will be procuring the necessary evidence and expert witnesses.

“However, I want to make sure everyone understands that this is really not a one-shot thing we get a preliminary injunction in, and that’s the end of it that was as it says preliminary, we are in this for the long run,” said Winters.

“And boaters are, I think, fairly united if not completely united against the slip increases, and we believe that in the end, the judge is going to see that the rates that the Harbor Partners have imposed on boaters are inappropriate and excessive and not within market.”

From February to late April, gray whales will leave Baja’s lagoons to migrate back north, another good opportunity to witness the migration. Female whales with newborn calves are the last to move on from the lagoons to give the calves as much time as possible to grow.

These mother and calf pairs have a tendency to stay close to the coast throughout their migration and actively look to avoid predators, especially killer whales, and great white sharks.

After the Oct. 2 oil spill in Southern California, alleged failure to properly maintain oil platforms and abide by existing plans and regulations has landed the federal government with notices of intent to sue.

By: KATHERINE CLEMENTS

HUNTINGTON BEACH — On Nov. 2 the

Center for Biological Diversity filed a notice of its intent to sue the federal government in response to the Oct. 2 oil spill.

The center is suing for alleged oversights allowing Platform Elly (which houses equipment to process oil from platforms Ellen and Eureka) and other offshore oil production in the Beta oilfield to operate under outdated drilling plans written in the 1970s and 80s. The center also filed a notice against the BOEM on Oct. 8 for failure to account for the impact offshore drilling has on endangered species.

The Center recalled that the BOEM has failed to audit and require revision of the outdated plans. They believe BOEM has neglected its duties despite the recent oil spill, the age of the infrastructure, and other changes since the logistics were authorized about four decades ago.

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) suit and the Outer Continental Shelf Act (OCS Lands Act) suit will both be directed against the BOEM. The Endangered Species Act-based notice from the Center also has intent to sue the National Marine Fisheries Service and U.S. Fish

The oil spill has left oil along long stretches of beach, covering shores, forgotten belongings, and animals that encounter it.

and Wildlife Service. All federal agencies considered to be expert wildlife agencies for ESA consultation that have the duty to reinitiate consultation, which lies with both them and the action agency. All agencies were being relied on by BOEM for requirements for offshore drilling, and all collaborated closely in process of constructing the regulations and requirements of the offshore platforms.

The Center argues that offshore oil and gas drilling is inherently dirty and dangerous as shown by the recent spill from a pipeline connected to Platform Elly. They argue that the age of the infrastructure is responsible for littering

the Pacific Ocean for over half a century, in turn heightening numerous inherent risks. As such, The Center requests that BOEM must immediately begin phasing out this treacherous activity on the Pacific Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and all other regions.

“The subject of our second lawsuit (the Nov. 2 notice) is due to the fact that platforms are all operating under development and production plans that are decades and decades old,” said Kristen Monsell, legal director of the Center’s Oceans program. “One of those plans for the Beta unit, which is the name of the field that platform Elly is in, which is con-

nected to the pipeline that spilled— that plan estimated that drilling would cease in 2007 and the infrastructure would be decommissioned in 2008. Our notice letter alleges that the agencies are now required to go back and review these development and production plans and require oil companies to revise them because they are so out of date; several triggering events have happened, and they are required to review and revise them.”

The October oil spill leaked 25,000 gallons of oil into the Pacific Ocean, shut down miles of beaches and fisheries, greatly hindered commercial fishing, and killed and injured birds and other

wildlife, including those species that inhabit the Huntington Beach wetlands.

According to the California State Lands Commission, 23 federal pipelines pass through California state waters and are inspected annually.

“Concerning the endangered species act lawsuit, that case is based on the agency’s failure to carefully examine the impact of oil and gas drilling on threatened and endangered species,” said Monsell. “It wasn’t just the oil spill that was wrong in their analysis. There are other things like the impacts from vessel strikes.”

According to Monsell, endangered whales and other species are being run over by vessels that transport supplies and crews to and from the platforms. “The analysis is based on outdated information that doesn’t properly account for the significant increase of ship strikes on endangered whales off California, and new information showing that not only the number of vessel strikes are increasing, but they may actually be impeding the recovery of these endangered animals,” said Monsell. “The agencies need to look at the impact of vessel traffic from oil and gas activity directly but also accumulatively. If they’re not carefully examining the baseline of the harm from existing vessel traffic, then it can’t adequately look at the additional harm from oil and gas activity.”

The oil spill opened questions about the operation of these of fshore oil platforms.

“We discovered that after the oil spill, the existing consultation that is in place completely discounts the possibility of an oil spill,” said Monsell. “It says that it is highly unlikely, but in the event that it does happen, it will only be about 8,600 gallons of oil and won’t cause any harm.

The oil spill showed that that assumption was incorrect both because there was an, in fact, an oil spill and then also it spilled more than 8600 gallons of oil.”

The notice filed explains the BOEM is allowing companies to operate under plans that were approved four decades ago despite an abundance of information that proves that the plans are dangerously outdated and do not concur with current science, environmental and safety hazards, or the urgent need to transition to fossil fuel development.

The notice letters are a prerequisite to filing the lawsuits. “We filed the Endangered Species Act [notice] on Oct. 8, and then we filed the one about the outdated drilling plans on Nov. 2,” said Monsell.

The purpose of the 60-day compliance offer is to serve the agencies a letter of intent to sue and why, and they then have 60 days to comply, and make the necessary changes. If they don’t succeed by the time the 60 days is up, then the lawsuit moves forward. Neither of the two notices have been addressed yet.

In addition, the notice clarifies that under the OCS Lands Act, the bureau must review and reexamine drilling plans when there have been changes. The OCS Lands Act was created on Aug. 7, 1953, and under the OCS Lands Act, as amended in 1978, provides guidelines for implementing an OCS oil and gas exploration and development program.

According to The Center, federal regulators have not required updated drill-

ing plans for the Beta field’s platform even though the plans indicated that the offshore platforms would wind down production in 2007 and be decommissioned more than a decade ago.

The Nov. 2 notice explains that this oil spill is new information that proves the prior analysis is inadequate. It is required by law that these agencies take the careful look and operate under updated regulations and requirements.

“The agencies need to look at the impact of vessel traffic from oil and gas activity directly but also accumulatively. If they’re not carefully examining the baseline of the harm from existing vessel traffic, then it can’t adequately look at the additional harm from oil and gas activity,” said Monsell

The Center also sent a petition to the Biden Administration. The petition asks to suspend all activities at these platforms and then ultimately cancel the leases.

“One of the reasons why I think we’ve seen drilling for so long off California is because the outer continental shelf land act, which is the statute that governs drilling in water, allows leases to continue as long as oil companies are recovering oil in payable quantities,” said Monsell. “However, there are provisions in the statute that allow the federal government to cancel leases if certain conditions are met. Such as if the drilling does harm to marine, coastal, or human environments, and we think that these [conditions] are being met here and the administration should use its authority to cancel the leas-

es off California.”

The Center argues that Biden officials need to update plans and lay out a schedule for shutting down these aging platforms. The Center also argues that California has seen spill after spill in its coastal waters, and believes offshore drilling is at odds with any serious effort to fight the climate emergency.

“I think that if the agencies take the hard look that is required under various statutes that it should make the decision that they need to move all of these platforms and pipelines and wells into the decommissioning phase and get all of this dirty infrastructure out of our oceans,” said Monsell.

Ongoing Updates to the Port Master Plan Aim to Improve the Future of San Diego The Port of San Diego has been conducting a compressive and inclusive Integrated Planning initiative to update is Port Master Plan; the effort supports the Port’s goal to develop San Diego Bay for multiple purposes and uses to benefit the people of the State of California.

SAN DIEGO — On Nov. 8, a Draft of the Port Master Plan was published by the San Diego Unified Port District, the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act. They have prepared a Draft Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) for the Proposed Port Master Plan Update.

“A Port Master Plan is required by the San Diego Unified Port District Act and the California Coastal Act,” said the Port’s Public Information Officer, Brianne Mundy Page, in an email on Nov. 17. “We’re currently in the process of updating the Port Master Plan; it has not

The Port of San Diego is in the fourth of five stages of a comprehensive approach for managing the business of the Port in a balanced way; the five-phase planning process will conclude with an updated Port Master Plan. been finalized. The Port’s existing Port Master Plan was certified (as a whole) in 1981 by the California Coastal Commission. Since then, there have been many location-specific amendments but never a comprehensive update. The PMPU seeks to reflect changes in the needs and priorities of Californians and the region’s growth since the adoption of the current master plan 40 years ago. The Port’s objective is to create a holistic, thoughtful, and balanced approach to future water and land uses on and around San Diego Bay for generations to come. The goals of the Port Master Plan Update are to: Balance the needs of development with those of valuable natural resources.

Prioritize coastal-dependent developments and clearly define water and land uses for development.

Protect opportunities for public access and parks on the waterfront for all Californians and visitors to enjoy; and Streamline the permitting process for developers, investors, and Port staff to process projects more effectively and efficiently.”

The Port Master Plan is a water and land use plan that designates specific areas of San Diego Bay and the surrounding waterfront for maritime, fishing, visitor-serving commercial, recreational, conservation, and institutional uses.

The plan regulates where port activities should occur, where recreational amenities should be located, and where commercial services like hotels, restaurants, and visitor-serving retail can be built.

The project will happen in San Diego, Imperial Beach, and Coronado, in San Diego County.

The Draft Program Environmental Impact Report prepared for the Port Master Plan Update was created to adhere to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which requires public disclosure of the environmental impacts that will be associated with implementing the Port Master Plan Update.

The San Diego Unified Port District is the CEQ A Lead Agency designated with the main responsibility to evaluate the potential environmental effects that come along with authorizing the proposed PMPU. Additionally, the District, as Lead Agency, is responsible for considering the potential environmental effects induced by the decision to approve or disapprove the PMPU. “As required by CEQ A, the Draft PEIR does the following: (1) describes the proposed PMPU, including its location, objectives, benefits, and features; (2) describes the existing conditions in the project area and nearby environs; (3) analyzes the potential direct, indirect, and cumulative adverse physical effects that could occur to the existing conditions, should the proposed PMPU be implemented; (4) identifies feasible means of avoiding or substantially lessening the significant adverse effects; (5) provides a determination of significance for each impact, after mitigation is incorporated; and (6) evaluates a reasonable range of feasible alternatives to the proposed PMPU that would meet the basic project objectives and reduce a project-related significant impact,” said Mundy in the Nov. 17 email.

The project is an update to the district’s existing Port Master Plan. According to the California Coastal Act and the District’s Port Act, the Port Master Plan provides the official planning policies of the district consistent with the general statewide purpose, for the physical development of the tide and submerged lands conveyed and granted in trust, to the district and its acquired uplands.

The Port Master Plan Update would control the allowable land and water uses within the district, would list known disputable projects, and include goals, objectives, and policies that would implement the broad guidelines of the Coastal Act and shape the characteristics of development, coastal access, recreation, and

environmental conservation to the year 2050, throughout the applicable District jurisdiction.

The PMPU would contain: Six Baywide Elements.

Baywide Development Standards.

Special allowances.

Planned improvements.

Development standards that would apply to eight of the district’s ten Planning Districts.

The PMPU would also describe Plan Implementation and Development Conformance for future, potential development consistent with the California Coastal Act. The Draft PEIR analyzes potentially significant environmental effects to aesthetics and visual resources, air quality and health risk, biological resources, cultural resources, tribal cultural resources, and geologic hazards and soils, paleontological resources, greenhouse gas emissions and energy, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, noise and vibration, population and employment, public services and recreation, sea-level rise and climate change, transportation, mobility, and public access, and utilities and service systems, and cumulative impacts.

In 2013, the district embarked on a multifaceted and integrated approach to begin the first comprehensive update to its Port Master Plan. This approach is known as the “Integrated Planning Process.” This updated plan is based on long-range planning principles that form a framework for future planning on Tidelands. The principles and framework were all identified and developed as a part of the Integrated Planning Process, including robust and extensive public outreach and stakeholder engagement.

The effort is also referred to as “the future of the Port” and supports the Port’s mission to develop San Diego Bay for multiple purposes and uses that will benefit Please see POSD, PAGE 13

By: KATHERINE CLEMENTS ALEXANDRIA, VA.— On Nov. 15, President

Biden signed the Infrastructure and Jobs Act into law; the bill passed the Senate earlier this year and made it to Biden’s desk on Nov. 8. Biden said the bill will overhaul the nation’s infrastructure and boost the nation’s economy.

On Nov. 5, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Infrastructure and Jobs Act. The $1 trillion infrastructure fund initially allotted $715 billion to the American Sportfishing Association’s top congressional priorities; the bill was amended and allots the act $550 billion in infrastructure funding that includes focus on conservation and sportfishing.

These investments will establish new jobs, conserve the marine environment, and preserve sportfishing.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act includes provisions that directly benefit the ASA’s membership, including the reauthorization of the Sport Fish

Restoration and Boating Trust Fund.

Partially funded by the federal excise tax on fishing equipment, the trust fund is the cornerstone of state-based aquatic resource conservation and benefits all U.S. states and territories. Those involved the reauthorization were U.S. Senators Maria Cantwell, and Roger Wicker, and Representatives Debbie Dingell, and Garret Graves.

The bill also authorizes $1 billion for the National Culvert Removal, Replacement, and Restoration Program, a program aimed at removing, replacing, or

and enhancing coastal access, and promoting fiscal sustainability.

The Board of Port Commissioners cannot decide on the Port Master Plan Update until the completion of the environmental review process, which is required by CEQA. “The next step, after the required 45day public review period ending on Dec. 23, 2021[at 5 p.m.], is for the Port to respond to the public comments received and to prepare a Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR). That FPEIR and the Draft Port Master Plan,

as amended, will then be scheduled for a public hearing and decision by the Board of Port Commissioners. It is anticipated that a public hearing will occur in mid-2022.

After the Board of Port Commissioners acts on it, the California Coastal Commission must also make a decision on the Draft Port Master Plan, and the process is as follows: · California Coastal Commission considers certification of the PMPU (Anticipated in mid-2023): · Port Board approves the PMPU, as

Other ASA-supported provisions in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act include: -The REPLANT Act which will help the U.S. Forest Service plant 1.2 billion trees on national forest lands and create nearly 49,000 jobs over the next decade.

-$11.3 billion for the Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation Program, which restores mine lands no longer in use that are potential sources of hazardous materials that can leak into lakes, rivers, and streams.

-$250 million for the Forest Service’s Legacy Road and Trail program, which funds activities to restore fish passage in streams at road and trail crossings.

Cutting the Green Tape and CEQA Statutory Exemption for Restoration Projects Much like the familiar term, “red tape,” “green tape” represents the extra time, money, and effort required to get environmentally beneficial work done because of inefficiencies in the current systems.

CALIFORNIA— On Nov. 18, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) held a public meeting to provide updates on the CDFW’s new Cutting the Green Tape Program. The meeting specifically discussed the overview of CDFW’s role in the new California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Statutory Exemption for Fish and Wildlife Restoration Projects. CDFW discussed its role in this new process, which will be administered through its Cutting the Green Tape program, a program that falls under the larger Cutting the Green Tape initiative.

The meeting discussed an outline of CDFW’s plans and an initial overview of the process for addressing concurrent projects. The CDFW requests specific projects to be “exempt restoration projects” from CEQA as they are time-sensitive; the departments’ role in CEQA’s exemption process was passed under bill SB 155 on Sept. 23, a public resource trailer bill.

The meeting discussed projects that meet the exemption requirements for not having to go through CEQA. “This project fits the parameter of being exempt,” said Matt Wells of CDFW. “The department is asking that this current initiative which came about from this trailer bill that was passed recently weighs out this opportunity for exempting certain restoration projects from CEQA if they fit certain criteria…We also have our cutting the Green Tape Program, which is part of a larger Cutting the Green Tape initiative that unfolded over the past couple of years through this administration [CDFW] and the [California] Natural Resource Agency. So we have a new program in place, starting this year to support going forward with resources to help us improve our efforts to better support restoration by increasing the pace and scale of restoration projects.”

CEQA is in place to protect resources, but according to the CDFW, the pace and scales of restoration are not keeping up with all the threats. As a result, CDFW is looking to expedite progress through these restoration projects that are inherently good for the ecosystem and believe it would be beneficial to fast-track them.

“They still are projects that would cover everything that CEQA lays out but were creating sort of an express lane for those types of projects,” said Wells.

Governor Newsom recently signed Senate Bill 155, on Oct. 2, 2019, providing a new CEQA statutory exemption until January 1, 2025, for fish and wildlife restoration projects that meet certain requirements. CDFW provided an initial overview of the required concurrence and related process during the meeting on Nov. 18.

Other goals and topics addressed in the meeting included: • Continuing development of the new program and hiring new staff.

• The current conduction of Proposition 1 grant, the solicitation focused on North Coast watersheds and piloting new Cutting Green Tape efficiencies.

• Stakeholder engagement initiatives continue, focusing on grant administration, and permitting, and engineering support.

• Streamlined and programmatic permitting initiatives.

• C ont inu ing rol lout of Re st o ration Management Permit (RMP) template.

• Administering CEQA Statutory Exemption for Restoration Projects • Reporting outcomes and successes to the Legislature each year.

The full meetings presentation can be found online.

The California Natural Resources Agency has identified Cutting Green Tape as a signature initiative to increase the pace and scale of ecological restoration and stewardship.

On Nov. 30, 2020, the California Landscape Stewardship Network released Cutting the Green Tape: Regulator Efficiencies for a Resilient Environment, a list of steps that pave the way for “Cutting the Green Tape.” The document provides 14 important recommendations for improving regulatory processes for projects that benefit the environment.

“The pace and scale of environmen-

tal restoration has not kept up with the threats to California’s biodiversity from wildfire, drought, floods, human-wildlife conflict, and effects of climate change,” said Lauren Barva, CDFW Policy and Outreach Manager. “Following this initiative, CDFW has, starting this current budget year, secured ongoing funding and new positions to permanently support Cutting the Green Tape as a program…CDFW’s Cutting the Green Tape program is a statewide effort, representing the department’s environmental permitting and grant funding programs with added support from its general counsel and executive leadership. This program will lead efforts to develop and implement improvements to the way the department issues permit and administers its grant programs, to accelerate the pace and scale of restoration throughout the state.”

The first recommendation is to clarify the eligibility of projects that qualify for CEQA Class 33 Categorical exemption.

The proposed solution is that the Secretary for Natural Resources issues an advisory clarifying that the CEQA Class 33 exemption applies to projects in endangered species habitat and to projects that use mechanized equipment.

The second recommendation is to Change the CEQA Class 33 categorical exemption eligibility to include larger terrestrial and upland restoration projects.

The proposed solution is to modify a specific CEQA to increase the acreage eligibility cap for terrestrial upland restoration activities.

The third recommendation is to

amend the General Water Quality Certification Order for Small Habitat Restoration Projects (SHRP) to be consistent with Class 33 CEQA size limits and include “Waters of the State.” The proposed solution is for the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) to remove the 500-foot linear limit and includes “Waters of the State” in its upcoming SHRP renewal (originally planned for 2020).

The fourth recommendation is to explicitly include incidental take of fully protected species during the HREA renewal in 2021 by renewing the Habitat Restoration Enhancement Act (HREA) and updating sections with language that explicitly allows for incidental take of species protected under Fish and Game Code sections.

The fifth recommendation is to allow voluntary restoration projects to be eligible for HREA and SHRP, regardless of funding source. The proposed solution is to amend HREA so that it revises certain clauses to apply to projects that are using mitigation and settlement funds. In addition, SWRCB will provide clarifying language regarding eligible project types in sections of the proposal from the General Water Quality Certification in its 2020 General Order update.

The sixth recommendation is to develop the General Order and Waste Discharge Requirement (General Order) for aquatic restoration projects and certify the associated Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR). This will be executed by having the Secretary of Natural Resources and CDFW Director Please see GREEN TAPE, PAGE 15

COVID-19 PPE Waste and Its Effects on Marine Environments

BY: KATHERINE CLEMENTS CALIFORNIA —On March 22, a study was published by authors Auke-Florian Hiemstra, Liselotte Rambonnet, and Barbara Gravendeel, that revealed the effects that Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) waste from the COVID19 pandemic has had on animal life. The study found the first cases of birds using PPE to nest in, and the first case of a fish being entrapped in a plastic medical glove.

As COVID-19 increased the demand for personal protective equipment (PPE), such as masks, gloves, and face shields, pressure has been put on the already out-of-control global problem of marine pollution.

Mismanaged plastic waste, consisting of personal protective equipment has exceeded some country’s capabilities of processing it properly. While many researchers suspect there will be a massive influx of COVID-19 related waste, a second study published by Yiming Peng, Peipei Wu, Amina T. Schartup, and Yanxu Zhang on June 22, from the Proceedings

Green Tape From page 14

continue their collaborative work with SWRCB on this effort and ensure its successful implementation.

The seventh recommendation is to create companion efficiencies in the Fish and Game Code to the General Order for aquatic restoration for larger-scale projects. This will be done by having the CDFW develop a streamlined permit mechanism for projects larger than those covered under HREA via the 2021 HREA legislative reauthorization process.

The eighth recommendation is to amend the CEQA to allow categorical exemptions for regulatory agencies utilizing construction activities to protect natural resources and the environment. The proposed solution is for the Secretary of Natural Resources to consider updates to sections of CEQA proposals, to allow construction activities for ecological restoration and enhancement work.

The ninth recommendation is to extend programmatic permits for the Fish-

Two new studies published in 2021, are addressing the increase COVID-19 induced PPE litter and how birds and marine animals have begun to incorporate it into their environments.

The studies highlight the need to stay away from single use plastics.

The report found that the increased use of personal protective equipment has induced the existing problem of mismanaged plastic waste and its negative effect on oceans and marine life. of the National Academy of Sciences of The United States of America (PNAS) is the first to project the magnitude and fate of the waste in the oceans.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increased demand for single-use plastics that intensifies pressure on an already out-of-control global plastic waste problem,” said Peng and Wu from Nanjing University, the authors of the online journal PNAS. “Plastics have an excellent strength to weight ratio, and they are durable and inexpensive, making them the material of choice for most disposable medical tools, equipment, and packaging.” The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the durability of these plastics and their capability against the ocean.

The study done in March found a fish entrapped in a medical glove and found a protective mask found in the stomach of a dead penguin. The scientists predict that almost all pandemic-related plastics will end up on the seabed or beaches by

the end of the century.

The study found that 46 percent of the poorly managed plastic waste came from Asia due to the high level of mask-wearing by its individuals, followed by Europe with 24 percent, and North and South America with 22 percent.

“A dominant fraction (87.4%) of this excess waste is from hospitals, which is estimated based on the number of COVID-19 inpatients and per-patient medical waste generation for each country,” said the study from PNAS. “Individuals who use PPE contributed only 7.6 percent of the total, while packaging and test kits accounted for 4.7 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively…Most of the plastic is from medical waste generated by hospitals that dwarfs the contribution from personal protection equipment and online-shopping package material. This poses a long-lasting problem for the ocean environment and is mainly accumulated on beaches and coastal sediments.”

eries Restoration Grant Program (FRGP) to fisheries restoration projects not funded by FRGP. The CDFW will includes non-FRGP funded projects that comply with CDFW design criteria in its annual list of projects submitted for FRGP programmatic permits and environmental review.

The tenth recommendation is to develop a CEQ A-equivalent certified regulatory program for landscape-scale restoration. This can be executed by developing a CEQA-equivalent process that can be certified by the CNRA. A certified regulatory program like this for landscape-scale environmental enhancement would meet CEQA standards as a “functionally equivalent” document.

The eleventh recommendation is to exercise Coastal Commission authorities to advance restoration consistent with efficiencies authorized by SWRCB, CDFW, and CEQA. This would require the Coastal Commission to explore and utilize efficiencies within their authorities to advance small- and large-scale restoration that are consistent with and/or complementary to existing and planned efficien-

cies authorized by SWRCB, CDFW, and CEQA. The twelfth recommendation is to identify and advance beneficial projects involving changes to water rights. The proposed solution is to have SWRCB and CDFW executive leaderships issue a joint directive to their respective staffs who work on water rights and instream flows to create clear guidance and an interagency framework for identifying and advancing beneficial projects. As part of the directive, specific direction is given regarding when to use existing mechanisms that expedite approvals.

The thirteenth recommendation is to develop a single permit application for projects that are eligible for both HREA and SHRP by having CDFW and SWRCB collaborate on the development of a single permit application that, if online, may be hosted by the state or by a third-party vendor Finally, the fourteenth recommendation is to create a unified online permit application for state agencies that simplifies submittal and tracking for both agency staff and applicants and supports in-

The researchers integrated data from the start of the pandemic in 2020 through August 2021. This data led to the finding that most of the global plastic waste entering the ocean comes from Asia, with hospital waste representing the bulk of the land discharge. The study exposed the need for better management of medical waste in developing countries.

Although most of the pandemic-related plastics are predicted to settle on beaches and the seafloor, a smaller amount will probably end up circulating in or occupying the Arctic Ocean, which study authors say appears to be a “deadend” for plastic debris conveyed into it due to ocean circulation patterns. The model shows that around 80 percent of the plastic litter that travels into the Arctic Ocean will sink quickly, and a circumpolar plastic accumulation zone is forecasted to form by 2025.

According to the World Wildlife Foundation, the Arctic ecosystem is already considered to be particularly vulnerable due to the harsh environment and high sensitivity to climate change.

PPE is designed to keep humans safe, especially amid the global pandemic. The sad reality is that the single use plastic is harming animals and environments of all types. Both studies urge for the switch to reusable alternatives for PPE. To fight against the invasion of plastic waste into the oceans, the authors also urge for better medical waste management in epicenters, notable in developing countries. The authors also called for global public awareness of the environmental impact of PPE products and other plastic materials, the development of innovative technologies for better plastic waste collection, classification, treatment, and recycling, and more environmentally conducive materials.

teragency coordination. This will be done by utilizing existing authorities within SWRCB, the California Environmental Protection Agency, and the CNRA to implement a viable solution, and to explore a Governor- or state-level solution to create a more standardized system.

According to the California Natural Resources Agency, implementing the reported recommendations will require diverse expertise, including key agency representatives with relevant decision-making authorities. It will depend upon those with on-the-ground knowledge of land stewardship and regulatory frameworks. The agency recommends that as agencies work to implement these recommendations, they commit to maintaining ongoing collaboration and regular dialogue with roundtable participants and other key stakeholders.

The acquisition of Viking Yachts and Valhalla Brands from Stan Miller will introduce new exposure for Galati Yacht Sales as well as the expansion of resources for Stan Miller Yachts.

By: KATHERINE CLEMENTS L O N G B E A C H — On Oct. 11, Galati

Yacht Sales (GYS), one of the largest privately held yacht dealerships globally, announced it will be assuming Viking Yachts and Valhalla Brands from Stan Miller Yachts, the former authorized Viking Yachts and Valhalla dealer on the west coast.

“We [Stan Miller] have been a Southern California new boat dealer broker since 1955,” said Brad Buettner, former co-owner of Stan Miller Yachts and current broker specialist for Galati Yacht sales. “We are one of the longest standing yacht broker dealers in the state of California. We were having a meeting with our various companies and manufacturers… And we decided that now might be the time to have discussions with the Galati family who we have known for thirty years.”

Brad Buettner and his brother John have done business with the Galati family for many years and have become business acquaintances and friends of the family, according to Buettner.

Galati Yachts and Stan Miller operate very similarly with the jobs they carry out of the Gulf Coast and Florida, Costa Rica and Cabo San Lucas. When Stan Miller had their meeting to discuss distribution channels for Viking and Valhalla, they concluded they should utilize the resources of Galati Yacht Sales, hence resulting in them reaching out.

“It would be a win- win all the way around,” said Buettner. “It would be a win for the Galati group and give them

more exposure; it would be a win for the Southern California market for both buyers because they would have access to greater inventory, and it would be a win for Stan Miller Yachts and our brokers because they would have greater access to inventory and resources…So, we started talking about this in August and it was a good fit for everybody all around Galati Yacht Sales has expanded operations to the West Coast by assuming the Viking and Valhalla Brands and the trans- from Stan Miller Yachts; a win, win for all. action closed on October 11 of this year.”

SAN DIEGO— San Diego Bay Parade of

Lights celebrates 50 years this year. The time-honored tradition has seen thousands of boats over the years decked out in their holiday best with holiday lights befitting the various themes. Themes have ranged from “Arrgh! A Pirate’s Christmas” depicted on the right to “Comic-Con on the Bay” in honor of Comic-Con’s 50th anniversary in 2019. The tradition that started in 1969 has drawn more than 100,000 residents and visitors to the shoreline of San Diego Bay to watch approximately 80 boats traverse the waters in their best holiday

lights. The pirate theme marked the 46th anniversary of the event. “The San Diego Bay Parade of Lights gives boat enthusiasts and owners an opportunity to demonstrate their creativity in a fun way and we can’t wait to see what they come up with to celebrate a pirate’s Christmas this year,” said Parade Chairman Larry Baumann in a 2017 announcement from San Diego Bay Parade of Lights. “I’m sure the thousands of spectators who visit the bay to view the dazzling lighted boats will get a kick out of this year’s theme.” The parade continues to make its way around San Diego Bay in the middle of December to celebrate the holidays and this year’s theme is Twelve Days of Christmas.

Coconut Grove Marina in south Miami Fl, will be the host of the 2023 Finn Gold Cup; 13 years after the last time America hosted the tournament.

Finn Gold Cup is Coming to America By: KATHERINE CLEMENTS

MIAMI — Following the 2022 Finn Gold

Cup in Italy, the world title for the venerable singlehander comes to the USA in 2023, to be hosted by Coconut Grove Sailing Club in Miami, Fl. The 2010

championship was the last time it was held in the USA with 86 competitors in San Francisco.

The tournament will tentatively take place Feb. 19-26.

The Finn Gold Cup was presented to the International Finn Association by the late F. G. Mitchell of the Royal Corinthi-

an Yacht Club, Great Britain, in 1956. It became the World Championship Trophy for the Finn Class. The Gold Cup is the most critical part of the history of the Finn Class. The foundation of the IFA on Aug. 23, 1956, in Loosdrecht, Holland was strongly influenced by the first Gold Cup in March or/and April 1956 in Burn-

ham-on-Crouch in England. Thereafter, the Annual General Meeting of the IFA was generally at the time and place of the Gold Cup. Therefore, the sportive and administrative climax of each year coincided with the Gold Cups.

DANA WEST YACHT CLUB RAISES OVER $50,000 FOR THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY DANA POINT— Dana West Yacht Club presented a $53,325 check, raised during the club’s June charity regatta, to the American Cancer Society at their general membership meeting in October. The event had three days of racing. June 4 was the Newport to Dana Point race, June 5 Random Leg races, and Bouy races, and another set of Random Leg and Bouy races were on June 6. The 24th annual event broke several of the club’s previous records, with boaters raising over $12,000, and a single boat, the Tomol skippered

by Griesbach and Langan, bringing in $3,800, breaking the previous $2,000 record. The club held an online auction that ran through June 12 to raise the rest of the money.

C A L I F O R N I A — The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has partnered with the George H.W. Bush Vamos A Pescar Education Fund to provide grants to programs that promote education and inclusivity for fishing. The grant program is part of the CDFW’s angler recruitment, retention, and reactivation effort to increase fishing and conservation awareness across the state. The CDFW will receive the funds through the George H.W. Bush Vamos A Pescar Education Fund, which supports the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation’s Hispanic initiative, Vamos A Pescar. Funds are provided to state agencies to match and subgrant to local organizations. The George H.W. Bush Vamos A Pescar fund was established in 2014 when CEO and founder of Bass Pro Shops Johnny Morris donated $125,000 to bring conservation, education, and fishing experiences to Hispanic families in Texas and Florida. With the continued support of Bass Pro Shops and other companies like Brunswick Corporation, the fund has continued to spread and now supports initiatives in all 50 states. The fund supports state and local efforts to educate and engage families in high-density Hispanic communities through urban fishing programs, classes, and fishing activities. Interested programs will need to complete the CDFW grant appli-

cation and the RBFF George H.W. Bush Vamos A Pescar Application. Applications will be due no later than Dec. 8 at 11:59 p.m. and will need to be sent to jennifer.benedet@wildlife.ca.gov. To be eligible, programs must be: Ethnically inclusive: Events will be open to families of all races/ethnicities with Spanish-English bilingual instruction, materials, and outreach.

Family-focused: Program will encourage participation across multiple generations and genders.

Metrocentric: Program will encourage focus in California metro areas.

Focused on multiple opportunities: Program will provide multiple opportunities for the same audience to participate in multiple fishing activities.

THELOG.COM

SAN DIEGO— This year has been a good and lengthy offshore fishing season and the amazing thing is the book is still open as we enter into the late part of November. As this report is being written, Southern California offshore anglers are still active and are catching large bluefin tuna and mixed-size kelp-paddy yellowtail. Also available is the chance of catching a swordfish by doing some deep drop fishing. If northern and western weather systems continue to steer clear of Southern California waters, the water temperature might well stay warm enough for these fish to stay with us a little while longer.

As has been the case during most of the 2021 offshore fishing season, bluefin tuna continue to highlight the offshore fishing with good numbers still biting that are ranging in size from 30 to 200-plus pounds. The Tanner Bank is the current hot spot area for bluefin for boats fishing deep water in an area ranging from northwest over to northeast of the Tanner Bank high spot. There are also good numbers of bluefin being seen in other areas such as the San Clemente Basin Weather Buoy, the Butterfly Bank, the San Salvador Knoll, the 390 Bank, the 371 Bank, the 425 Bank, the 302 Spot, the area 4 to 10 miles west of North Island and the 9 Mile Bank but the bluefin found in these areas have not been biting as well as the bluefin found at the Tanner Bank.

Boats have been fishing the Tanner Bank on trips that are usually 1.5-day trips or longer. As an example of the recent fishing, Fisherman’s Landing reports that the Outrider was out on a 1.5-day trip that saw 6 anglers catch their limit of 12 bluefin tuna. Pacific Queen out of Fisherman’s Landing just got back from a 1.5-day trip that saw 34 anglers catch 34 bluefin tuna. Fisherman’s Landing also reported that Pacific Dawn returned home from a 2.5-day trip and saw 12 anglers catch 11 bluefin tuna.

Another example of the recent bluefin fishing was the fish count on New Lo-An out of Point Loma Sportfishing that just returned from a 3-day trip that saw 18 anglers catch 40 bluefin tuna. Point Loma Sportfishing reports that most of the bluefin caught on New Lo-An were in the 30 to 80-pound range with a big fish of 180 pounds.

Most of the bluefin at the Tanner Bank have been caught while drifting over meter marks or sonar marks with occasional spots of breezing or breaking fish also leading to bluefin stops. Best baits for the bluefin have been sinker rigged sardines, flylined sardines, kite fished frozen flying fish, flat fall jigs, and knife jigs.

As talked about above, boats fishing some of the local offshore banks within 45 miles or so of Point Loma have been seeing bluefin tuna that have not been biting very well. Most of those areas have also been holding yellowtail around some of the kelp paddies and finding the “right” kelp paddy can produce limits of yellowtail. The best areas for yellowtail have been in the area of the 302 Spot, 425 Bank, 371 Bank, the San Clemente Basin Weather Buoy, the San Salvador Knoll, and the 390 Bank.

Private boater Tom Golding of Last Buck reported about a recent trip to the Butterfly Bank and the San Salvador Knoll. Golding reported seeing several spots of breaking bluefin and also found some kelp paddies that were holding biting yellowtail. Golding was fishing with his boat partner Steve Kunitake and the two anglers caught their limits of yellowtail and released an additional twenty yellowtail. Golding reported that the yellows were mixed-sized fish ranging in size from throwbacks to 18 pounds.

Golding reported seeing spots of breezing bluefin and breaking bluefin during the day but could not get the bluefin to bite. The bluefin they were seeing were mixed-sized fish that went up to around 70 pounds. Golding reported a beautiful and warm day out on the water with glassy sea conditions.

In the morning the water temperatures were in the 64 to 66-degree range but as the day progressed the hot sun caused the surface water temperature to warm up to the 68 to 70-degree range.

Deep drop fishing for swordfish continues to produce swordfish bites and hookups and November 12 and 13 saw 28 boats with 65 anglers participating in the first IGFA Southern California Swordfish Open Tournament. Most boats in the tournament were primarily focused on deep drop fishing for swordfish while at the same time hoping to spot a finning swordfish up on the surface. Most boats in the tournament were working areas such as the 9 Mile Bank, the 178 Spot, and the 43 Fathom Spot.

The swordfish bite was best on the first day of the tournament and the first day of fishing saw seven swordfish hookups with two lost, two caught and released and three boated. The second day of fishing also brought success with two swordfish boated out of three or four hookups. My unofficial statistics was that the big fish of the tournament was a 298.7-pound swordfish caught by Greg Tate aboard the SS Minnow. Another tournament highlight was that the boat Lucas J caught two swordfish during the two-day tournament.

Fish Report From page 28

Islands has been producing a few yellowtail along with a mix of bass, bonito, and good numbers of a mixed bag of bottom fish that include reds, whitefish, rockfish, and a few lingcod. The most recent sportboat trip to Los Coronado Islands was on San Diego out of Seaforth Sportfishing that was out on a full day trip with 12 anglers who caught five yellowtail, 60 whitefish, two lingcod and two sheepshead. Seaforth Sportfishing reports that the yellowtail caught aboard San Diego were nice sized fish that ranged from 22 to 28 pounds.

Best areas for a chance at a yellowtail at Los Coronado Islands have been along the weather side of North Island, the Middle Grounds, and the South Kelp Ridge. Locate yellowtail by finding meter marks, sonar marks, spots of breaking fish, trolling strikes on slow trolled sardines, and trolling strikes on Rapalas.

Once located, try flylined sardines, dropper loop fished sardines, slow trolled sardines, surface iron, and yo-yo iron.

Best spots for calico bass have been at kelp bed and hard bottom areas around South Island. Best spot for a chance at finding bonito has been along the weather side of North Island. The best zone for the bottom fishing for a mix of reds, salmon grouper, lingcod, and

rockfish has been while working hard bottom areas to the north and northwest of North Island in the 30 to 50 fathom depths.

The fishing along the San Diego County coast has been good for a mixed bag of reds, rockfish, whitefish, sculpin, bonito, and bass. The fishing for yellowtail along the San Diego County coast has been mostly slow but there has been a bit more yellowtail activity in recent days for boats fishing off the upper end of La Jolla. A recent afternoon half-day trip fish count on New Seaforth out of Seaforth Sportfishing saw 27 anglers catch four yellowtail, 84 rockfish and five calico bass.

Surface iron, yo-yo iron, slow trolled sardines, slow trolled mackerel, flylined sardines, and flylined mackerel would all be good choices for yellowtail that are found on the surface. Try using yo-yoed iron, dropper loop rig, fished sardines, and dropper loop fished mackerel when fishing yellowtail meter marks.

Productive areas for the mixed bag coastal fishing for bass, sculpin, whitefish, reds, and rockfish have been hard bottom areas around the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma, the hard bottom to the northwest of Buoy #3 off Point Loma, hard bottom areas off the Green Tank at Point Loma, the Jetty Kelp outside of Mission Bay, the 270 located to the west of Mission Bay, the upper end of La Jolla, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Leucadia, and Box Canyon.

There is not much new to report on the halibut fishing which remains mostly slow. There was a recent private boater report of catching a couple of legal sized halibut drifting the sandy bottom adjacent to the sunken NEL Tower and Yukon Shipwreck areas off Pacific Beach.

Additional areas that have produced halibut in recent weeks have been Imperial Beach, outside of South Ponto Beach, the sandy bottom next to the Buccaneer Pipeline, and the sandy bottom next to the artificial reefs off Oceanside.

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

The fall offshore fishing season continues to produce some impressive catches of offshore species and this fishing might go on a while longer if northern and western storms do not come through and drop the water temperature. I hope you can get out on the water and enjoy some of the fun late season fishing!

Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water sometime soon!.
