Newport Beach yacht club describes “hostile takeover” by former partner and kicks off legal battle to cease illegal suspension of facility uses and asset seizure.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

NEWPORT BEACH — After several disagreements between American Legion Yacht Club (ALYC) and American Legion Post 291 in Newport Harbor erupted, the boating organization has decided to press charges. Before the dispute began, ALYC and Post 291 had formed a partnership for 52 years.

ALYC currently does not have a home due to a suspension ordered by Post 291, which has stripped the club of using any of Post 291’s facilities until further notice or ALYC complies with new bylaws. Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club allowed ALYC to use their facilities for a general meeting on Oct. 11.

Members were brought up to date on the ongoing dispute with Post 291 at this time.

In a newsletter release by ALYC on Oct. 22, it states: “After the briefing many members took the opportunity to ask questions and express opinions. One of the resolution options presented was to engage an attorney to pursue legal action against the Post. This option appealed to most of the members, and after further discussion, a Flag Member made a motion to hire an attorney as soon as possible, which was seconded, and the vote was nearly unanimous, with only two members voting against the motion.”

Conflict Breaks Out A timeline of the events was posted

by ALYC on their official website that indicates the final divide was a few years in the making. ALYC makes a note on the document that “all dates are approximate.”

The event that seemed to head off the dispute occurred in August or September 2017 when ALYC purchased a 40-foot trawler to use as a race committee boat during regattas. A Post 291 executive board member approached Commodore Mike Berdine to ask when ALYC would gain permission for the purchase.

The timeline, in an entry dated for Oct. 2017, states: “Post 291 Executive Board asks then Commodore, Mike Berdine, when he was going to get their approval for the purchase of this Committee Boat. He responded that ALYC was a separate corporation and didn’t need Post 291 [‘s] approval.

Commodore Berdine then followed up his statements with an email detailing his position with supporting information and documentation. This statement and email seems to have

angered some members of the Post 291 Executive Board and apparently they decided that the yacht club needed to be controlled.”

Between November 2017 and April 2018, there were a series of meetings regarding bylaws and articles of incorporation. ALYC claims Post 291 said there were “many problems” with ALYC’s bylaws and the use of American Legion as a name.

A turning point came in May 2018 when it appeared both parties agreed “to set aside the past and to ‘work together’ in drafting a new set of ALYC bylaws.” However, the cooperation does not last long as, according to ALYC’s timeline. Judge Advocate Wright says “he is going to ‘write them for us and we weren’t going to like them.’”

In September, Judge Advocate Wright releases the newly drafted ALYC bylaws to Post 291 and ALYC argues that at no time was any input taken from ALYC’s board members. The draft is passed unanimously by Post 291.

ALYC, in conflict, states they will not abide by the new bylaws and Post 291 makes the decision to suspend ALYC. Shortly afterwards, all ALYC sailboats are locked to the dock by Post 291 and all meetings are cancelled.

As a result, a sailing event by Women’s Sailing Association of Orange County was cancelled. Several more attempts were made by ALYC to resolve the dispute. During a board meeting that took place on Oct. 15, a decision is made to retain legal counsel.

American Legion Yacht Club readies to take legal action against Post 291 after lock-out

By American Legion YC’s accounts, some tension began with Post 291 after they had purchased a new 40-foot vessel to use as a race committee boat in 2017. Other events following appeared to increase disagreements until American Legion YC was suspended from using facilities this year.

Details of the Lawsuit Berdine e-mailed The Log a statement, on Oct. 25, announcing ALYC may file a lawsuit against Post 291.

The release states, “The American Legion Yacht Club of Newport Beach has begun legal action against their former partner and host facility, Newport Harbor Post 291 of the American Legion, as they seek relie from a dispute that began September 6 when they were locked out of their facility and assets by Post 291.”

Post 291’s actions are described as a “hostile takeover” by ALYC in the release.

Commodore Doug Green of ALYC states, “The Post 291 executive board write new bylaws, passed them, and just told us we had to accept them as a

program of the post. However, we are more than a program. We have been a partner for over 50 years, not only promoting yacht activities for our military veteran members and their families, but also extending this spirit for service and love for the sea through our many civic activities in the greater Newport Beach and Southern California.”

Green continues, “We may lack facilities, but the heart of this club is strong, and we will continue our activities this fall and into next year unimpeded.”

According to an unnamed source, Post 291 has been quiet about the dispute. The Log reached out to Post 291 for commentary, but they were unable to be reached by print time.

Thunderbird fishing for offers

By Parimal M. Rohit

NEWPORT BEACH — One of Davey’s Locker Sportfishing’s most recognizable charter boats is up for sale. The asking price for this 65-foot, 47-passenger fishing vessel is $249,000.

Thunderbird heads out to sea daily with a boat full of anglers, all aboard in search of catching a big fish. The fishing vessel has generally been used for open party overnight expeditions out of Davey’s Locker in Newport Beach.

Anglers have had their fair share of catches aboard Thunderbird, catching giant yellowtail (40+ pounds), white sea bass (60+ pounds), yellowfin, bluefin and albacore, among others.

Thunderbird has been boarded by experienced and novice anglers alike, as its overnight trips relatively close to SoCal’s shores serves as a good introduction to first-times but also offers the veteran fisher with plenty of biting opportunities.

Capt. Jeff Markland skippered Thunderbird on her many expeditions. Markland generally navigates to San Clemente or Catalina islands to find fish.

Channel Islands staff continues to press for solutions to the water dilemma Oxnard City Council grants $250,000 towards fixing the water’s low-oxygen levels, but a long-term solution is still in the works.

OXNARD — Channel Islands residents, this past summer, were shocked to find water in the harbor had turned a cloudy brown color and gave off a foul odor. Marine animals were also affected with some deaths and others struggling to survive.

Recent funds granted to address the water quality at Channel Islands’ Kiddie Beach appears to be just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to solving this issue.

The source of the problem was theorized to have happened after NRG Energy’s Mandalay Generating Station was shutdown, which cause pumps in the canal to cease circulating water.

Low oxygen levels contributed to the water quality issues that Channel Island Harbor experienced earlier in the year.

In a release issued by city of Oxnard on Aug. 23, it stated: “The city of Oxnard Channel Islands Response Team is monitoring the dissolved oxygen concentrations (and other paraments) at multiple locations

After NRG Energy’s Mandalay Generating Station closed, it was thought the water quality in Channel Island Harbor was affected due to the water not being circulated.

along the Channel Islands Harbor on a weekly basis. Additionally, on August 6, the City deployed an automated remote sensor in the upper canal between Westport and Seabridge (parallel to Adriatic Street), continually monitoring the water at the site of the sensor to provide 24/7 coverage.”

Oxnard’s City Council, at its Oct. 2 meeting, approved $250,000 to correct the water issue. In an interview with Ventura County Star, Oxnard City Manager Alex Nguyen stated the funding amount would not be nearly enough to address the water problem.

Nguyen stated: “It’s absolutely not enough for a problem of this scale.

I believe that was decided based on keeping water moving in front of Kiddie Beach that never materialized.

That was not intended for the entire harbor. You’re looking at the idea of moving water on a massive scale. The vaults they installed and that amount of money, it’s the difference between having a pump for an aquarium versus for a large lake. It’s not even apples and oranges, it’s worse.”

When further pressed on how the problem would be paid for, Nguyen said, “I think it’s going to have to be a combination [between community facilities district and the general fund].”

Nguyen continued: “First of all, we

have to go through the necessary steps to really determine the problem. A few things I’ve learned thus far, all of these manmade harbors have this problem … As far as I’m aware, in none of those situations has the solution been to build a power plant and I say that in jest but even the pumps. I understand that people feel panicked about this, the people who live there, they believe that’s the solution. I am not convinced that that should be our first option. I have to remain open to the fact that it may be our extreme last resort.”

While the water quality does have low oxygen levels, the city of Oxnard has deemed the water is safe to swim in after test results were confirmed.

The Log contacted Mark Sandoval, director of Channel Islands Harbor, and Channel Islands Harbor Patrol for further comment. However, both sources could not be reached by the time of print.

Sandoval was named the new director in July. On his first day, he told The Log the issue with water quality in Channel Islands Harbor was a top priority to be addressed.

The Log will update this report online if any further information becomes available.

Sea lion saunters across Rosecrans Street in Point Loma 2C

SAN DIEGO — SeaWorld rescued a rogue sea lion after she crossed a busy street in Point Loma. Though strange, the sea lion appeared to be healthy and not in distress – in fact, she seemed to enjoy herself as she relaxed and scratched herself in the street after stopping traffic.

A SeaWorld Animal Care Specialist, Heather Armentrout, told CBS the sea lion, a 160-pound female, looked “pretty alert” and was eating plenty of live and frozen fish. SeaWorld also provided the sea lion with her own private pool, eventually planning

Former VP Joe Biden visits Virginia shipyard and Jill Biden christens naval submarine NEWPORT NEWS, Virginia (AP) — Former Vice President Joe Biden visited a Virginia shipyard that builds aircraft carriers and submarines.

News outlets report Biden met with union leaders and workers at Newport News Shipbuilding at the union hall in Newport News. The former vice president, who’s among several Democrats who could run for president in 2020, stopped to shake hands with several people on his way into the building.

His wife, Jill Biden, is the spon-

sor of the future USS Delaware.

She’s set to christen the Navy’s newest Virginia-class attack submarine. Her father served as a Navy signalman in World War II. The shipyard, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries, builds the nuclear-powered subs in partnership with General Dynamics Electric Boat.

SAN DIEGO — Shelter Island’s former Red Sails Inn, which one served as home of The Log, has officially been recreated as two new restaurant concepts operated by The Brigantine.

Ketch Grill & Taps and Portside Gelato & Coffee were christened during a grand opening ceremony on Oct. 24.

Both restaurants are located at 2614 Shelter Island Drive in San Diego.

“Ketch Grill & Taps is a casual eatery that connects San Diego’s unique, fresh seafood and pub fare with the area’s thriving craft beer and spirits community,” an official Port of San Diego statement said. “Portside Gelato & Coffee is a walk-up shop scooping up a wide assortment of

fine gelato and brewing fresh coffee and espresso from local roaster, Café Moto.”

Diners at fetch can eat at the restaurant’s outdoor patio, which provides views of the local marina and Downtown San Diego skyline.

Both establishments are operated by The Brigantine, which is constructing Portside Pier on the Downtown San Diego waterfront.

Four restaurants will be featured once Portside Pier is operational: Brigantine Seafood and Oyster Bar, Miguel’s Cocina, Ketch Grill & Taps, and Portside Gelato & Coffee.

Portside Pier will be located at 1360 North Harbor Drive, previously home to Anthony’s. The new restaurant area is slated to open in late 2019.

The Brigantine is a San Diegobased restaurant company.

Society president Glenn Silloway says it was a piece of Americana that he regrets losing.

Local resident Johnnie Bandelian was on hand for the demolition. He says the boat building had been in Morro Bay as long as he could remember.

The building was originally a fish market. Some parts were saved, including a tongue-and-groove wooden ceiling.

California’s summer wildfires increase risk of flooding during winter STATEWIDE — Authorities say Californians they are now at greater risk of flooding and debris flows during this winter’s storms because of the many wildfires that have scorched vast areas of land.

Santa Barbara County officials have warned locals, who experienced a devastating backlash from the recent fires.

Last year in January, a debris flow following Thomas Fire destroyed homes, killed 21 people and two went missing.

According to a report by KSBY, scientists say post-fire floods are a greater risk to homes because the ground cannot absorb the water due to ash and debris.

Don’t Park in the Green Zone? Do SoCal’s waterfront developments have enough open space?

Developers tout retail and creative office opportunities at shiny new coastal destinations, but where’s the green space?

By Parimal M. Rohit

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — Anyone who has read The Log these past, oh, four-plus years has certainly noticed the amount of coverage we give to the various waterfront development proposals dotting the Southern California coast.

Time-killing revitalization efforts in Dana Point, NIMBY clashes at Redondo Beach’s King Harbor and a grandiose plan to build a Space Needlelike structure on the Downtown San Diego

Embarcadero are among the many waterfront projects we’ve reported on extensively.

Each revitalization, be it in San Diego, Dana Point, Long Beach, San Pedro, Redondo Beach or Marina del Rey, maintains a common thread: Rebuild the local waterfront with a myriad of visitor-serving amenities and the public will come – basically a re-twist of the “If you build it, he will come” line from “Field of Dreams.”

These visitor-serving amenities, of course, are restaurants, boutique shops, markets, hip office spaces and any combination of tourist attractions (such as aquariums or 500-foot high observation decks). It makes sense for developers to highlight these amenities, since restaurants, shops, markets, office spaces and tourist attractions equate to revenue – this, ultimately, See STANDING WATCH page 8

ENGLISH CHANNEL — Most Southern Californians think of Catalina or Anacapa or Santa Rosa islands when hearing or reading “Channel Islands.” But Channel Islands can also refer to the archipelago in the English Channel, located between the French and U.K. coasts. Four primary – and inhabited – islands highlight this European archipelago: Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey and Sark.

Other inhabited islands are Herm, Jethou and Brecqhou.

The islands, though not part of the United Kingdom, are Crown dependencies. Norman landowners originally dominated Jersey, the largest and southernmost island. Jersey split from France’s Normandy in 1204. The island, several hundred years later, profited from an economy of cattle, fisheries, potatoes, privateering and smuggling.

Sark, meanwhile, wasn’t really inhabited until the mid-1500s, when the French took over the land. Silver was discovered on the island in the 1830s, briefly fostering a mining population. The island operated under feudal laws as recently as 2008.

Alderney was a strategic military outpost for the British. A breakwater was built just off Alderney, as to defend the Brits from the possibility of French invasion. The breakwater has since chipped away.

The Germans occupied Guernsey during World War II. Guernsey was actually demilitarized during the war, opening the door for Germany to come in and take claim of the island. Germany occupied Guernsey from 1940 to 1945. A German bombing of the island in 1940 saw an attack on St. Peter Port Harbor, where 33 people were killed and 67 injured. A group of tomato lorries were apparently mistaken a military convoy.

Port of San Diego makes progress with Chula Vista Bayfront construction preparation What Happened: Port of San Diego staff announced it has finished importing soil to the planned site of the Chula Vista Bayfront resort hotel and convention center.

The district also announced it plans to import new soil for the planned RV resort site.

“The soil is needed to improve drainage and reduce impacts to the City of

Chula Vista’s wastewater treatment infrastructure,” Port of San Diego staff said in a released statement.

Another round of importing soil is anticipated to occur in early 2019 (from early January to mid February).

What’s On Tap: Construction of the Chula Vista Bayfront resort hotel and convention center is expected to begin at some point in 2019. RIDA Chula Vista LLC will build the Marriott Hotel, which will feature 1,600some hotel rooms and 275,000 square feet of convention and meeting space.

The center will also include retail space, a restaurant, recreational amenities and a boat rental area.

The new hotel and convention center is adjacent to Chula Vista’s two marinas.

What Happened: Pres. Donald J. Trump signed the American Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 into law on Oct. 23, almost two weeks after it made it out of the U.S. Senate.

What’s On Tap: The Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 authorizes $3.7 billion for dredging, flood risk management and storm damage reduction. The new law also provides funding to combat aquatic invasive species, restore the Everglades, mitigate harmful algae bloom events and reform how the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers prioritizes its projects.

Regional Water Board cancels December hearing on Poseidon plant What Happened: The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board announced its Dec. 7 meeting agenda would not include an entry on the Poseidon Huntington Beach Desalination Project. Board members had tentatively considered deliberating the matter at their final meeting of 2018.

No information was immediately available as to why the Poseidon project won’t be on the Dec. 7 agenda.

Poseidon Water hopes to build a largescale desalination plant on the Huntington Beach coast. The project’s proposed budget stands at $1 billion.

Standing Watch

TAKE ACTION

From page 6

is how developers will earn a return on their multimillion-dollar (and, sometimes, billion-dollar) investment.

Lost in all the noise, though, are offerings of green space – or any sort of open public space, really – where patrons can just enjoy the overall scenery. This is not to say the aforementioned projects are devoid of green/ open space – such land use functions have certainly been mentioned, even incorporated, during the planning process. The question, however, is whether such proposals are doing enough to balance aesthetics with business development. Developers are obviously in the business of making profits, but what is the right balance of commercialism and community? What is the government’s role, taking this one step further, in facilitating a proper ratio of business uses to green/open spaces?

Let’s, in answering the commercial-to-community ratio question, take a look at what’s going on in Detroit.

Yes, Detroit, which for the longest time was a city and metropolis in decline.

A recent revitalization of the Detroit Riverfront should be emulated here in Southern California. Redevelopment projects spearheaded by the Port of San Diego, Orange County’s various departments, city of Long Beach, Los Angeles Harbor Department, city of Redondo Beach and Los Angeles County’s Department of Beaches and Harbors can all implement elements of Detroit’s recent riverfront revitalization.

The Log witnessed this riverfront revitalization firsthand, when this writer attended the Society for Environmental Journalists annual conference in Flint, Michigan. Attendees were given the opportunity to attend one of several field excursions during the first full day of the conference.

This writer chose the excursion on the re-visioning of land uses in Detroit. It was a full day adventure, with a bus full of, oh, 30-some attendees traveling from Flint to Detroit – a one-hour journey (sans traffic). Our first stop was the Detroit Riverfront, located on the southeast edge of the city’s downtown district and directly across the river from the Canadian city of Windsor.

We walked around and scouted the revitalized riverfront, which is managed by the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy. The conservancy’s stated vision is to “Transform Detroit’s international riverfront – the face of the city – into a beautiful, exciting, safe, accessible world-class gathering place for all.”

Detroit Riverfront Conservancy is a nonprofit organization tasked with establishing, improving, maintaining and operating a stretch of land on the Detroit River. The entire operation is a public-private partnership supporting the development of the riverfront district.

A significant portion of the conservancy’s mission and focus is to develop the Detroit Riverfront as “an inviting destination for all.” Large swaths of lands once occupied by abandoned concrete silos have been converted

The lack of balance between commercial elements and open space, though, is noticeably and consistently lacking in Southern California’s proposed waterfront revitalizations. Waterfront property in Southern California, to be sure, is expensive – especially when compared to Detroit. The high cost of land in the L.A.-O.C.-San Diego region certainly provides incentive to maximize as much revenue from waterfront-adjacent land as possible. This, however, does not mean lessons can’t be learned from Detroit. How can waterfront revitalization plans embrace the mission and vision of the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy while still building commercial elements for revenue creation? Contact these policymakers and developers below and let your opinions or perspectives be known.

into a park. The riverfront area also hosts college football tailgates, openair markets and fundraiser soirees, among other events.

There are, naturally, places for visitors to patronize, such as restaurants, shops, aquariums and botanic gardens. Yet the riverfront revitalization is not disproportionately commercial.

A balance is struck between large open spaces and accessible commercialism.

Waterfront revitalization plans in San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles metro have not prioritized green/open spaces, based on what various developers have proposed, recently.

Plans to provide ample green or open space were rarely touted in CenterCal’s recently failed attempt to revitalize the King Harbor area in Redondo Beach, for example. The Waterfront project was consistently presented as a place where people could enjoy a dinner, watch a movie and do some shopping.

A similar CenterCal project across from Alamitos Bay Marina in Long Beach, which is currently being built, is purely commercial and absent of any green space.

The ongoing attempt to revitalize Dana Point Harbor has consistently focused on three things: parking, landside commercial improvements and boating interests. A dedicated green or open space has not been boasted by the harbor’s revitalization plans, which

are currently being reworked.

It’s also unclear whether a new hotel project at the eastern tip of Harbor Islands in San Diego would feature a dedicated park or other form of green space.

Projects along San Diego’s downtown embarcadero and Chula Vista Bayfront, meanwhile, do appear to have open green spaces included within their respective plans, though developers and planners behind both revitalizations have consistently emphasized large-scale commercial efforts associated with each redevelopment. A 1,600-room hotel and large convention center headlines almost every mention of the Chula Vista

Bayfront redevelopment, while those behind San Diego’s Seaport Village regularly remind folks of plans to build an aquarium and high-rise observation deck.

Los Angeles might be the one ray of hope here, what with the city’s plans to provide a community park with unobstructed water views at the proposed Wilmington Waterfront (part of the larger L.A. Waterfront revitalization). The proposed green space in Wilmington complements the planned commercial overhaul of neighboring San Pedro’s waterfront, where new restaurants and shops will abut local marinas.

Boater accused man of shooting at sea lions Alleged incident in Ventura County refreshes questions of co-existing with pinnipeds.

OXNARD — A liveaboard boater at Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard claims they witnessed someone shooting at sea lions with an air rifle. The incident apparently occurred during the summer. The liveaboard, whose identity will be left unidentified, filed a claim with the Ventura County Harbor Department, stating liveaboard’s own vessel was struck several times by whatever projectiles were fired from the air rifle.

The Harbor Department confirmed an investigation was conducted but no wrongdoing was found.

“Yes, our Harbor Patrol investigated the alleged shooting,” Channel Islands Harbor Director Mark Sandoval told The Log in September. “We could find no evidence of the shooting. [The person complaining] claimed there could be damage to her vessel below the water line, but we could not determine that without a vessel haul out.”

An official complaint filed with Harbor Department on July 24 and shared with The Log shows the liveaboard boater called in a report of someone shooting at sea lions.

A liveaboard boater claimed to have heard and observed gunshots being fired at sea lions one evening.

Investigations by NOAA and Ventura County officials could not corroborate the boater’s allegations, however.

“[The liveaboard] called the Harbor Patrol emergency cell phone and reported that someone had shot something at the sea lions in the vicinity of the Marine Emporium Landing Dock,” a Harbor Patrol officer wrote in his report. “I arrived on scene and met with [the liveaboard, who believed] someone had shot something at the sea lions laying on the dock near her boat.

“I thoroughly investigated [the liveaboard’s] boat, all surrounding boats and nearby docks for any damage or evidence of what had been discharged,” the Harbor Patrol officer continued in his report. “I found no damage to any property or evidence of pollutant entering the harbor. I found no blood or evidence of any marine life sustaining injury.”

Copies of the report were distributed to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Vintage Marina.

The Harbor Department also issued a warning notice to someone named Chad Tucker (the last name, as written on the notice, is not fully legible). The Log was unable to confirm whether the warning was issued to the same person who the liveaboard complained about.

“Only use NOAA approved sea lion deterrents,” the warning notice stated.

A “Possible Animal Crimes” report was also filed with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office. The report also referenced Tucker, claiming someone might have witnessed him shooting paintball rounds in the direction of sea lions.

Tucker’s above-referenced warning was referenced in the Sheriff’s report.

Also investigating the matter was a NOAA enforcement officer, according to the Sheriff’s report. The NOAA investigation, according to the Ventura County Sheriff, found “no evidence of a Marina Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) violation.”

“Per NOAA guidelines, using nontoxic water soluble paintballs is a potential method for use by fishers to deter Pacific harbor seals. There is no evidence [the accused] violated this rule because no evidence of actual paint was found,” the Sheriff’s report stated. “There was no evidence of a firearm being fired near the inhabited boats. There was no evidence of paintball rounds containing actual paint being shot at the seals, dock or [the liveaboard’s] boat. The use of the paintball rounds being water based is within NOAA’s recommended guidelines for dealing with seals.”

Co-existing with sea lions, harbor seals, etc.

The Log has covered this issue in the past, focusing on what boaters or anglers could or could not do in deterring pinnipeds from boats, docks and other waterfront areas. The existence of sea lions and seals in local harbors and marinas has consistently been a recurring problem – and this will be the subject of an upcoming feature story.

NOAA, in its October 2018 update of

the “Deterring ‘Nuisance’ Pinnipeds” webpage, acknowledged the co-existence of sea lions and seals with humans is a growing issue.

“Since the passage of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) in 1972, populations of California sea lions, Northern elephant seals, Northern fur seals, and Pacific harbor seals have increased dramatically, and are now considered healthy and robust,” NOAA’s webpage on marine mammals stated. “The increased abundance has been accompanied by a growing number of interactions with humans, raising concerns by private citizens and government officials who are seeking ways to protect property, fishing gear, and catch from damage by sea lions and seals.”

Federal law certainly protects pinnipeds from certain harassment or harm, but there are situations where deterrent measures can be implemented, according to NOAA. “The MMPA generally prohibits the harassment, hunting, capturing, or killing of marine mammals, or any attempt to engage in such activities.

However, the law does contain exceptions authorizing certain people under certain circumstances to deter marine mammals from damaging private property, including fishing gear and catch, so long as the methods used do not result in the death or serious injury of an animal,” NOAA stated on its marine mammals webpage.

“To reduce the risk of causing ‘serious injury’ to an animal, deterrence methods should be chosen that avoid penetration or tearing of skin, or rupture of an eye, and blunt force trauma that could cause broken bones or internal injury,” NOAA’s published statements continued.

NOAA Guidelines Certain non-lethal deterrent measures can be implement in addressing sea lion nuisance, according to NOAA. • The owner of fishing gear or catch, if to prevent the marine mammal from damaging the gear or catch, may deter a pinniped.

The deterrence can only occur during active fishing, with gear deployed.

• A private property owner can employ deterrent measures against nuisance sea lions only if to prevent the damaging of said property.

“Any person may deter a marine mammal from endangering personal safety. A government employee may deter a marine mammal from damaging public property,” NOAA’s guidelines continued. “Non-lethal deterrence measures may be used in any of these circumstances so long as such measures do not result in the death or serious injury of a marine mammal. NOAA Fisheries has defined serious injury as ‘any injury that is more likely than not to result in mortality.’”

Two of the options presented called for a breakwater reconfiguration. There has been a push, recently spearheaded by the Surfrider Foundation, to remove the Long Beach Breakwater. Long Beach was once a surfing destination, but surfers disappeared when the construction of the offshore breakwater system permanently kept waves away from the local shore.

Orange County and developers for Dana Point Harbor appear ready to reach an accord Parties are preparing to move forward with lease option for 66-year master plan for harbor redevelopment.

DANA POINT — Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley once exclaimed, “Fear not for the future, weep not for the past.” Dana Point Harbor, for more than 20 years, was in a state of limbo with much conflict revolving around questions of what would happen. As the county of Orange and new developers, Dana Point Harbor Partners, rush ahead to get the process moving, one thing is clear – a deal is rooted in place.

The overall tone of an e-newsletter released by Dana Point Boaters Association, a group closely tied to the revitalization process over the decades, continues to be cautiously optimistic.

The newsletter stated: “All signs are point to the successful conclusion of the option period agreement with Dana Point Harbor Partners and the finalization of their 66-year master lease by the end of the month. By all accounts, the development team has met the terms of their pre-lease obligations and will execute the final agreement as soon as October 30.”

Dana Point Harbor Partners, staff from R.D. Olson, Bryon Ward of Burnam-Ward and Joe Uebberoth of Bellingham Marine, discuss plan and answer questions at the second of three public meetings scheduled before the lease option period ends.

“However, be assured that work will continue on the refinement of the redevelopment plans into the coming weeks, months and years ahead,” the newsletter continued.

In the second of three meetings that included major players from the county and Dana Point Harbor Partners (DPHP), the developers made it clear the priority was to complete a list of projects according to the Local Coastal Plan, with the design coming later in the game.

DPHP, at a meeting held at 5 p.m. on Oct. 22, spoke more on their future vision for the $330 million project,

restoration including two that include breakwater reconfiguration. Science will drive the outcome of the study, but we are committed to the protection of property and infrastructure,” Price said in a published statement.

The Army Corps, in conjunction with the city of Long Beach, federal agencies and other governmental entities developed a study to analyze possible alternatives for the offshore breakwater.

“Draft alternatives include options to add physical structures, such as rocky reefs, wetlands and kelp beds to the bay, as well as to modify the Long Beach Breakwater,” Price said. “Two of the

according to an article by The Orange County Register. Some of the plans will include two hotels, a three-level parking structure, a surf museum and an updated “coastal” façade for shops at Dana Wharf.

From the previous meeting held in September, Bryon Ward, one-third of the DPHP, had mentioned the parking structure would be one of the first construction projects. He emphasized construction could be completed within three months once permits and other parts of the process were finished.

As boaters would be curious to know, the county did respond to a

alternatives that we presented include removing one-third of the breakwater and another that creates two 1000-foot notches in the structure.”

None of the plans, apparently, are calling for the entire removal of the breakwater.

The breakwater study was initiated in February 2016 and is now enduring through an environmental review process.

Surfrider Foundation actively campaigned for a complete removal of the Long Beach Breakwater, which occupies 2.2 linear miles just off the Long Beach coast. The Long Beach Breakwater is one of three such offshore structures stretching from the western edge of San

written letter by Dana Point Harbor Advisory Board (DPHAB), which largely considered the marina plan.

The newsletter by DPBA also responded to developments about the marina plan and stated: “Over the past year, your Boaters Association has collaborated closely with our new marina developer on the plans for the renovation of our marina and dry boat storage facilities. This has been enormously complicated work under some inflexible regulatory and space constraints, and with lofty goals to build a marine that properly serves our Dana Point Harbor boating community. We believe we have achieved optimal outcomes under challenging circumstances, and work continues to refine the plans.”

The Log reached out to James Lenthall, president of DPBA and chair for Dana Point Harbor Advisory Board, but he was unavailable for comment at the time of press.

By the time this article runs, the lease option will likely be closed and signed. At that point, the future of Dana Point will be in the hands of the developers for the next 66 years.

Pedro to just east of Downtown Long Beach.

The surfing organization advocated for a complete removal of Long Beach Breakwater so the local coastline would receive increased wave action.

Long Beach Breakwater, the easternmost of the trio of breakwaters, was built last (in 1949). San Pedro Breakwater, in 1912, was the first one built. The second breakwater, placed just off of Terminal Island, was built in 1942.

Public comment will be accepted throughout the current stage of review.

Price stated an update on the breakwater study would be presented in early 2019.

Long Beach began looking at the possible reconfiguration of the local breakwater in 2005. City Council members, in 2007, allocated $100,000 to gauge whether the Army Corps of Engineers and congressional leaders were up to updating the stretch of Long Beach coast known as the East San Pedro Bay. It took three years but the Army Corps finally acknowledged they would indeed work with Long Beach officials to determine what sort of changes, if any, could be made to the breakwater area.

Funding for the study came in 2013, when the Long Beach City Council authorized $1.5 million dollars to be budgeted for the planned analysis. The Army Corps of Engineers received half of the money.

NOAA’s funding will support Ventura shellfish and migratory fish projects

By Parimal M. Rohit

STATEWIDE — Nearly two-dozen aquaculture projects, nationwide, were awarded $11 million in grant funding, it was announced in mid-October. The funding, granted by NOAA Sea Grant, was granted “to further advance the development of a sustainable marine and coastal aquaculture industry in the U.S.” NOAA funded 22 programs in various states, including two in California.

The two projects are: Ventura Shellfish Enterprise and germ cell transplantation methods for aquacultural production of migratory fishes.

Ventura Shellfish Enterprise (VSE) will receive $311,036 to implement an integrative model for new shellfish production in the waters of or near Ventura Harbor. The enterprise would specifically establish 20 100-acre sites in the Santa Barbara Channel and collaborate with NOAA and the Food and Drug Administration, to ensure future landed product has a pathway for compliance with the National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP) and Seafood Sanitation Inspection Program.”

VSE hopes to establish regulated bivalve shellfish production in the Santa Barbara Channel. The aquaculture initiative would specifically grow Mediterranean mussels. Company representatives stated Ventura Harbor and the surrounding area are ideal for mussel farming.

The National Sea Grant College Program and the NOAA Office of Aquaculture jointly supported the Ventura Shellfish Enterprise project.

California Sea Grant, meanwhile, will receive $195,579 for the “development of germ cell transplantation methods for enhancing aquacultural production of migratory fishes.”

“This project highlights the emerging method of germ cell transplantation, a potentially important aquaculture tool that can magnify the numbers of specific genetic lines of males and females without genetic modification,” NOAA Sea Grant staff stated about the germ cell transplantation project. “The work proposes to develop and optimize the transplantation technology in two economically important Pacific Coast species in commercial production: steelhead and white sturgeon.

“It will be experimentally determined which stage of juvenile development can produce a high number of transplantable germ cells for the two species to be studied,” NOAA Sea Grant staff continued.

All 22 projects funded by NOAA address certain priorities of the 2018 Sea Grant National Aquaculture Initiative.

Those priorities, according to NOAA Sea Grant, include “supporting the development of emerging systems

or technologies that will advance aquaculture in the U.S., developing and implementing actionable methods of communicating accurate, science based information about the benefits and risks of U.S. marine aquaculture to the public; and More than $500,000 was granted to two aquaculture projects in California. increasing the The funding, provided by NOAA, will support shellfish and migratory fish resiliency of aqua- projects.

Two California Sea Grant projects awarded with aquaculture grant culture systems to natural hazards and changing conditions.”

Each project was funded for three years and includes a 50 percent match by non-federal partners. NOAA Sea Grant reportedly received 100 proposals requesting $48 million in federal funds.

Previous federal funding, according to NOAA Sea Grant, has created a $78 million economic impact, supported 792 businesses and created 1,387 jobs.

NOAA has been actively pursuing aquaculture, or “Blue Economy,” opportunities nationwide, all as part of an effort to expand sustainable seafood production in the United States.

The Log • Nov. 2 - 15, 2018 • 15

The Log collects two awards at San Diego Press Club’s Excellence in Journalism One of Southern California’s largest scribe organizations has recognized The Log three years in a row.

SAN DIEGO — San Diego Press Club recognized The Log’s work at its 45th Excellence in Journalism event, which was held at the Jacobs Center for Community Innovation on Oct. 30.

Editor Parimal M. Rohit was honored with two awards. It was the third time in as many years San Diego Press Club awarded him for his coverage in The Log. Rohit’s Standing Watch article on offshore drilling, which was published in January, won first place in the “Essay/ Commentary/Opinion – Non-Daily Newspapers” category. The article – headlined, “Make Offshore Drilling Great Again? Trump Administration Seeks Oil Exploration” – delved into the White House’s plan to add up to six new oil and gas leases off the California coast.

“The return of offshore drilling to California’s popular coast appears to be in vogue again, thanks to Pres. Donald J. Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ agenda,” Rohit wrote at the outset of his Standing Watch column. “As many as six offshore locations along California’s coast could be designated for oil leases, part of a great plan under the Trump Administration to establish the U.S.’s energy dominance.”

Parimal M. Rohit, editor of The Log, won Best Essay/Commentary/Opinion Story and finished third in the Humor category.

Also recognized by the press club was Rohit’s satire piece on California Gov. Jerry Brown. The April Fool’s story satirized a state plan to establish a new DMV – or Department of Marine Vessels.

“Long wait times on the water, grumpy employees with bad tans and glitches associated with the implementation of a new licensing system. If this sounds like your average day at the DMV, you’re right – except it’s not the Department of Motor Vehicles,” Rohit wrote. “Instead, it’s the new norm for California’s boaters, who, as of April 1, must deal with the newly minted Department of Marine Vessels.”

The satire article, headlined “Gov. Jerry Brown decrees new boating agency,” was published in March.

Links to both articles will be available on the online version of this story.

Construction plans approved for emergency repairs to Pebbly Beach Lift Station Avalon City Council greenlights infrastructure proceedings to fix lift station not exceeding $200,000.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

AVALON — An underground leak at Avalon’s Pebbly Beach last spring caused some chaos for property owners in the area. Plans for a short-term repair, however, will move forward after Avalon council members voted yes on construction plans at their Oct. 16 meeting.

According to the staff report: “On May 31, 2018 and June 1, 2018 an underground leak at the Pebbly Beach Lift Station caused a black water incident effecting seven property owners in the area. Under its emergency authority, city staff have worked to mitigate the issues that caused the failure; however, the efforts only provide a short term solution.”

Avalon City Council had previously given staff the go-ahead to source

proposals for the emergency repair at the Aug. 21 meeting. At the time, council members requested the project would not exceed $200,000.

“To further expedite the process, and minimize potential risk and liability, staff requested the city manager be granted authority to execute a contract with the successful bidder for an amount not to exceed $200,000,” the staff report continued.

When the leak happened in May, reports were quickly shared on varying outlets how vacationers, businesses and locals were all inconvenienced. In a report by NBC Los Angeles, the owner of Maggie’s Blue Rose Mexican Restaurant said that the dilemma has “paralyzed the island.”

The city began passing out free water bottles and Porta-potties were set up while the water had been turned off.

While staff has now addressed a short-term solution, more planning will need to be done in the long-term, according to the staff report. The budget of $200,000 has been taken into account for the Fiscal Year 2018-2019 budget.

Dock Lines With Capt. Nicole

Boat rescue demonstrates importance of skills and experience Story and photo by Capt. Nicole Sours Larson

boats, training he’s passed along to his son, whom he introduced to boating at age 5. Reeve, Mike proudly boasts, qualified for and obtained his 100-ton master’s license on his 18th birthday.

Part of that training, he said, includes conducting regular safety and man-overboard drills on their vessel so they’re prepared for any eventuality.

Those drills kicked in like clockwork on Saturday, Oct. 20. Time Machine was returning to San Diego from a crew pleasure cruise when he saw the orange explosion. Having heard radio chatter about man-overboard drills, Mike called the Coast Guard, learned this was not a drill and raced to the scene to conduct a rescue.

For the next hour or so, while Mike drove the boat, keeping its props away from the people in the water, Reeve in his wetsuit jumped into the water to pull people aboard to safety, with Vo receiving them and documenting the rescue.

Once the Coast Guard helicopter arrived to evacuate the two severely burned passengers, Mike skillfully followed instructions, correctly positioning the boat underway at 7-8 knots, which he did for the 45 minutes required to lift

SAN DIEGO — Did you catch the recent reports about a San Diego-based fishing boat’s dramatic rescue of 15 passengers from a boat explosion off the Baja coast?

After reading rescue coverage and watching online videos, one thing struck me: the crew of the 42-foot Time Machine, father-and-son team Mike and Reeve Koesterer and crewman Andy Vo, did everything right. They achieved a textbook rescue, saving so many lives, although all regret the three lives lost to fire or drowning.

The Coast Guard agreed, telling Mike, who was at the helm throughout the rescue effort and first spotted the explosion’s orange flash 4 miles away, that if they hadn’t been there, everyone on the boat would have died.

Curious about the crew of Time Machine and their background, I found them online through Pacific Bluefin Sportfishing and called to arrange an interview. I discovered I had met Mike previously at a port district meeting focused on reining in and regulating illegal charters. I recalled him as a passionate advocate for appropriate licensing and inspection for all boats offering charters or tours to paying passengers. He and his crew performed superbly in a crisis tracked with my previous impression.

Both Mike, 53, and his son Reeve, 19, who operate Time Machine as a Reeve and Mike Koesterer stand on the dock beside their 42-foot (46 LOA) family-run fishing fishing boat Time Machine. With crewman Andy Vo they rescued 15 people charter boat, grew from a boat which exploded off the coast of La Salina, Baja. up on the water, splitting their time between San Diego them up. and Ensenada, with ties on both sides This is not Mike’s first life-saving of the border.

As a volunteer firefighter in ing prominent tunaman Rod Beeche, Ensenada he gained “a lot of rescue docked purseiners at Tuna Harbor, skills” and learned about fire, saving a back in the day. Mike started crewing group of 12 university students from a on family fishing vessels by the age of blaze. On another occasion he spotted 15. Later, he ran fishing charters from a couple in distress when their boat Ensenada. capsized and dove in to save them.

“As a child I was brought into Why rush to the scene of the fishing and boating by family. I learnt explosion? everything I know about boating from “I knew there was someone on that Ron Post,” his uncle and creator of boat and they needed help. And we “Introduction to Boating” courses, he knew that we could help them,” Mike explained. explained.

It’s family he credits with training The lesson for us all: develop skills him to operate, maintain and repair and be prepared for the unexpected.

Boating & Marine Gear Swap Meet Oceanside Dec. 1

PHOTO CREDIT: Oceanside Yacht Club

OCEANSIDE—Sailing can be an expensive activity. Oceanside Yacht Club (OYC), due to outdated youth sailing equipment, hopes to raise funds to benefit the junior program by hosting a marine swap meet on Dec. 1.

OYC Director Ron Dreyer told The Log in an email: “Our goal is to raise funds for the Oceanside Yacht Club Junior Learn-to-Sail program. Our big need is for funds to purchase new beginner boats that will replace our very dated sailing Sabots, which are about 35 years old. The time and cost to maintain them has become unworkable.”

“The items sold, range from dinghies, outboard motors, outdoor wear, fishing gear, kayaks, paddles, boat parts, nautical yard art, marine knick knacks and so on. There are usually a few more retail oriented booths for foul weather clothes etc.,” Joe Yag, who is coordinating the event on behalf of OYC, added.

In addition to the swap meet, there will also be a food truck courtesy of Street Chef.

Mediterranean and European cuisine is among the fare offered by Street Chef.

Yag also added that a nautical-themed jewelry booth would be displaying wearable accessories this year.

Booth spots can be reserved for $20 each or $25 for two; each booth location is equivalent to

one parking space. Call 760-722-5751 to reserve a venue space.

The swap meet will take place from 7 a.m.-noon.

OYC is located at 1950 Harbor Drive North in Oceanside.

Email Yag at harborjoeyag@gmail.com for more information about this event. Learn about OYC’s junior sailing program and other events online at oceansideyc.net.

• Come down to Oceanside Yacht Club (OYC) to peruse new and used boating and marine equipment. All proceeds benefit the OYC junior program.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SAN DIEGO —The final day of racing at the Extreme Sailing Series in San Diego featured a thrilling competition to the finish as Team Oman Air edged out Alinghi to claim the international regatta, Oct. 21.

Spectators took in the tight competition from Harbor Island, where they witnessed teams representing Oman and Switzerland duel it out for a finish of the ages.

Team Oman Air reportedly trailed Alinghi most of the series. Alinghi attempted to keep its lead with a few maneuvers during Race 20, which was the fifth of six races on the final day of racing.

But Team Oman Air eventually overtook Alinghi, ultimately finishing Race 20 behind only the British team.

Alinghi and Team Oman Air faced off in the final, double points race.

Team Oman Air managed to finish ahead of Alinghi yet again, securing its place atop the leader board. It was Team Oman Air’s first win since August 2017.

The Swiss team still leads the series overall, with one more competition to go in 208. However the San Diego chapter of the 2019 Extreme Sailing Series is officially over.

Oman Air finished the San Diego event with 12 points, followed by

Alinghi at 11, SAP Extreme Sailing Team at 10, Red Bull Sailing Team at 9, INEOS Rebels UK at 8 and Team Mexico at 7.

The overall standings is as follows: • Alinghi (68) • SAP Extreme Sailing Team (65) • Oman Air (63) • INEOS Rebels UK (54) • Red Bull Sailing Team (50) • Team Mexico (42).

The Extreme Sailing Series heads to Los Cabos, where teams will compete against each other, Nov. 29-Dec. 2.

Presented by Gail Hine and sponsored by BoatUS, the daylong event is a series of 33 workshops for ladies-only and includes shore- and-boat-based sessions that offer beginners to experts a welcoming environment to learn more about all things sailing.

“This is where women sailors go to learn,” Hine said. “The convention gives women an opportunity to meet other women sailors, discuss options for more cruising and day-sailing, find out about existing women’s sailing organizations in their area as well

as instructional programs available.

We have something meaningful for everyone.”

Attendees select a combination of workshops in areas that best fit their interests and abilities. Course instructors are top women sailors, many of whom are U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captains.

Raft Demo, and Introduction to Sailing.

To top off the event, the featured speaker at dinner is Melody Kanschat, a sailor with 40 years of sailing experience beginning in the Midwest on small boats and now in California aboard her C&C 40, Harmony.

Throughout those four decades, Kanschat has applied the lessons she learned as a female skipper to her professional career in public radio, in art museums as president of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and as executive director of the Getty Leadership Institute. Kanschat will talk about the styles and characteristics of women leaders and those pivotal moments when both skippers and crew embrace their leadership. She also will

share tips for women sailors in exerting their own leadership to be happy and productive members of any sailing crew.

SAN DIEGO — San Diego Yacht Club will host the 2018 North American Kiteboarding Championship, Nov. 8-11, with an estimated 30 “kiters” competing against each other on San Diego Bay. Foil kites will be launched from Crown Cove State beach in San Diego and then shred through local waters until the finish.

Games.

San Diego YC hosted the North This event, in and of itself, is a relaAmerican Kiteboarding Championship tively new competition. The first North in 2014.

American championship was held at Foil Kiteboarding, coincidentally, is Puerto Rico in 2010; St. Francis Yacht being considered as a sport at the 2024 Club hosted the championship event in Olympics.

First woman sailor in new SailGP League named by French team SAN DIEGO (LOG News Service) — Olympian and round-the-world sailor Marie Riou of France is the first female crewmember to be announced for the new SailGP global racing league, which will begin competition next year in foiling 50-foot catamarans.

The 37-year-old Riou will be flight controller for the France SailGP Team, which will be skippered by her Olympic partner, Billy Besson. The five-member team was announced Oct. 23 at Marseille Harbor, which will host the final regatta of the inaugural season, concluding with a $1 million winnertake-all match race between the two top teams.

Riou said she was “deeply honored to be the first woman aboard the F50 and hope there will be others to follow as this inclusive league continues to build.”

She will control the hydrofoils on the French boat. The F50s are a supercharged version of the 50-foot cats used in the 2017 America’s Cup. American software tycoon Larry Ellison and New Zealander Russell Coutts, a five-time America’s Cup winner, founded SailGP. Ellison and Coutts’ Oracle Team USA won the

America’s Cup in 2010 and 2013 before losing it last year to Emirates Team New Zealand.

“It’s fantastic that Marie is on board,” Coutts said. “She is an incredible athlete and rightfully earned a place on the France SailGP Team based on the merits of her extremely successful sailing career.

“Sailing is one of the only sports in which men and women are able to compete together,” Coutts said. “We think it’s incredibly important to offer talented female sailors the same high-level opportunities afforded to their male counterparts.

Besson and Riou have teamed up to win four world titles in the Nacra 17 catamaran class.

The U.S., British and Australian SailGP teams don’t have any female crewmembers. The teams from Japan and China have yet to be announced.

Riou said women belong on toplevel sailing teams and added, “The most important thing on the boat is not to have a woman and men on board, the most important thing is to have a good spirit on the team and we believe we have that.”

The 2018 Sir Thomas Lipton Challenge Cup will remain in America’s Finest City, thanks to San Diego Yacht Club’s victory over Long Beach Yacht Club at this year’s Lipton Cup.

San Diego Yacht Club edges Long Beach Yacht Club for Lipton Cup Skipper Tyler Sinks defend’s club’s title, as 2018 Sir Thomas Lipton Challenge Cup remains in San Diego.

By Parimal M. Rohit SAN DIEGO — San Diego Yacht Club has defended its Lipton Cup title, as the 2018 Sir Thomas Lipton Challenge Cup remains in America’s Finest City for a second year in a row.

Skipper Tyler Sinks guided the San Diego YC team through 12 races on Oct. 26-28, finishing in first place ahead of Long Beach Yacht Club (second place) and California Yacht Club (third).

Long Beach YC was actually in the lead on the third and final day of racing, with 32 points, three points ahead of San Diego YC (35 points).

Both teams ended up tied at 57 points after Race 12, with San Diego’s YC four bullets breaking the tie to give the home team the edge.

This year’s Lipton Cup also featured a family rivalry - coincidentally involv-

ing the top two teams. Brothers John and Chris Busch, both members of San Diego YC, were on opposing teams; Chris was with San Diego YC while John was aboard Long Beach YC’s boat.

“The brothers have been racing together for 45 years. They typically sail against each other in long distance races, but this weekend the two saw a friendly family rivalry,” a San Diego YC statement about the Lipton Cup said.

The Lipton Cup pits 12 teams against each other each year for the prestigious trophy.

San Diego YC finished in first with 57 points. Long Beach YC also had 57 points but lost the tiebreaker. The rest of the field looked like this: • California Yacht Club, 68 • St. Francis Yacht Club, 71 • Newport Harbor Yacht Club, 74 • Royal Vancouver Yacht Club, 74 • Balboa Yacht Club, 80 • Coronado Yacht Club, 84 • Chicago Yacht Club, 87 • San Francisco Yacht Club, 87 • Southwestern Yacht Club, 91 • New York Yacht Club, 107.

Fish and Game Commission adopts MPA monitoring action plan

By Parimal M. Rohit

FRESNO — The California Fish and Game Commission formally adopted its Statewide Marine Protection Area Monitoring Action Plan at its Oct. 17 meeting in Fresno. Establishing a statewide action plan to monitor California’s Marine Protected Areas, or MPAs, would observe, analyze and evaluate how the conservation tool is working.

Determinations, accordingly, could be made on how to better manage MPAs. The action plan would be executed through collaboration between the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW), Ocean Protection council and various academic partners.

“The commission adopted a marine protected area monitoring action plan that, for the first time, provides a statewide approach to monitoring California’s marine protected area network. The action plan incorporates novel scientific approaches California will actively monitor and evaluate its Marine Protected Areas and offers important as part of the recently approved MPA Monitoring Action Plan. prioritization of longterm monitoring and evaluation metrics,” an entry in the Fish maintenance of scientific tools, research and Game Commission’s Oct. 17 meetand development, sharing results with ing summary stated about the action an engaged community, and evaluation plan adoption. of the network’s performance.

evaluation of California’s MPA network,” a Fish and Game Commission staff report stated about the action plan.

State officials established an MPA network along California’s coast as part of an effort to protect marine life, habitats and ecosystems. The network includes 124 MPAs and 15 special closures.

“The Action Plan also provides lists of species and species groups to target for long-term monitoring, and highlights examples of existing programs that can contribute to long-term monitoring in California,” an executive summary of the action plan said.

DFW and commission staff said the action plan is a living document, meaning it would be updated and adapted as new information is presented and verified.

Commissioner Russell Burns was not present at the Oct. 17 commission meeting.

All commissioners present voted in favor of the action plan.

TIGHT LINES: Bottom Trawling has smaller global footprint than estimated

By Parimal M. Rohit

NARRAGANSETT, Rhode Island — Previous accounts of the harmful footprint of bottom trawling, a common practice in the commercial fishing world, might have been greatly exaggerated, according to a recently published report.

Bottom trawling only touches 14 percent of seafloor, a smaller global footprint than previously estimated, a group of oceanographers were able to determine from gathered data. Seafood harvested from bottom trawling, according to the report, accounts for 25 percent of the world’s edible marine life stock.

“A new analysis of the ocean regions around the world shows that bottom trawling … occurs on just 14 percent of the seafloor along continental shelves and slopes,”

a University of Rhode Island (URI) statement on the published report said.“These findings indicate that the footprint often had been overestimated significantly.”

High-resolution data from 24 ocean regions around the world were analyzed by dozens of scientists representing 22 countries. Findings were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Oct. 8.

Data was collected from satellite monitoring of 4.8 million square miles of seafloor shallower than 3,280 feet.

The University of Washington’s Ricardo Amoroso and International Council for the Exploration of the Sea’s Simon Jennings were lead authors on the report. Amoroso was at the University of Washington as a postdoctoral researcher in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences.

Commercial fisheries com-

monly engage in bottom trawling to catch large amounts of certain bottom-dwelling species, such as cod, rockfish, shrimp and sole.

A net or dredge is used to catch bottom-dwellers from the seafloor along continental shelves and slopes to scoop.

“The technique impacts ecosystems because other marine life and habitats can be killed or disturbed unintentionally as nets sweep the seafloor,” URI’s statement on the published report said.

The practice of bottom trawling has regularly been criticized as negatively affecting marine life, but scientists and researchers lacked any clarity on the true effect of bottom trawling.

“Until now, scientists had been unable to determine with precision how much of the seafloor, called the footprint, is trawled worldwide,” URI’s official statement on the published report said.

All Aboard the Thunderbird Tuna Train

By Parimal M. Rohit NEWPORT BEACH — Bluefin tuna bites continue to be a thing this fall for some sportfishing landings. One of those landings is Davey’s Locker, which received a report out of Thunderbird’s 1.5-day open party trip on Oct. 16. Capt.

Jeff Markland called in with at least 30 hookups; 14 of the tunas landed had

an average weight of 100 pounds.

Recent tuna counts aboard Thunderbird looked like this: • 4 yellowfin and 1 skipjack for 18 anglers, Oct. 15 • 5 bluefin for 30 anglers, Oct. 13 • 40 bluefin for 24 anglers, Oct. 12 • 54 bluefin and 3 yellowfin for 23 anglers, Oct. 9.

Ethan Mayes, an eighth-grader, becomes first to receive “Master Ocean Angler” honor

By Parimal M. Rohit

SAN DIEGO — California’s first “Master Ocean Angler” is a 13-year-old Honor Roll student from San Diego.

Ethan Mayes, an eighth grader, caught his 50th ocean game fish species on Aug. 13; he reeled in a blackand-yellow rockfish at Coast Guard Pier in Monterey. The “Master Ocean Angler” honor is given to anyone who catches 50 different species of saltwater game fish; the species are tracked as part of the Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (DFW) California Fishing Passport program.

Mayes did not stop at no. 50 – he reeled in his 51st species, a cabezon, about an hour later (and in the same

spot), according to DFW staff.

Species no. 52, a yellowtail rockfish, was caught the following day. Then there was species catch no. 53, made a few days later. This one was a dolphinfish, measuring more than 50 inches and weighing 15 pounds.

Mayes made the catch aboard a charter boat outside of Mission An eighth-grader was just named California’s first Master Bay in San Diego.

offshore trip with his father. Although saltwater fishing is his primary passion, he also enjoys sailing, tennis, surfing and snorkeling,” DFW staff stated. “Becoming California’s first Master Ocean Angler didn’t become a goal for Mayes until he caught his 25th species.”

DFW launched the California Fishing Passport program in January 2007. Those participating in the program received a booklet, where anglers can record the date, place and species of the caught game fish or shellfish.

Each catch must be verified, either by photo of witness signature. An official stamping agent must then stamp the recorded catch.

There are 14 possible recognition awards one can earn through the passport program, starting with “My First Fish Award” and culminating with the Supreme Master Angler Award.

More information about the California Fishing Passport program is available online at www.wildlife.ca.gov/ Fishing/Passport.

San Diego Report

Chances of bluefin, marlin and yellowfin but continues into November

By Bob Vanian SAN DIEGO — As we sit on the edge of November things are looking good for for bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, skipjack, yellowtail and striped marlin as prospective targets in offshore waters within 1- or 1.5-day range of Point Loma.

It is Oct. 28 as I am preparing this report and in looking at the current 10-day weather forecast. I see no northern weather storm systems forecasted so the prospects of keeping the water warm enough to hold the pelagic species in our local offshore waters a while longer looks good.

Bluefin tuna continue to attract a lot of attention from anglers as there are still some jumbo sized bluefin biting. The best areas for the bluefin have been while fishing around the Tanner Bank and the Cortes Bank. The bluefin have been running from 25 to 250+ pounds and most of the bluefin have been falling into the 40- to 60-pound range.

Most of the bluefin action comes from stopping and drifting on sonar marks or meter marks with an occasional spot of fish also found up working on the surface.

The bluefin have been biting in the dark and during the daylight hours. Mackerel, sardines, flying fish and Flat Fall jigs have been the top baits and lures with sardines working the best.

Capt. Ron Bowers of Salt Fever (private boater) fished the Tanner Bank on Oct. 27 and 28 and reported catching eight of the 50- to 60-pound bluefin. Bowers reported flylined sardines were working best for them and added that they also caught two of the eight bluefin on sardines (fished deep with a sinker). He said the sardines they were fishing from a kite would also get some attention from the bluefin but said it would boil up around the kite fished sardine (but not take).

There has been very good fishing for a mix of yellowfin tuna, skipjack, yellowtail and a few dorado near the offshore banks and trenches below and outside of Ensenada. Good action has been found at areas such as the 238 Spot, 450 Spot, 295 Bank and the area of the 1010 Trench. Closer to Point Loma, the past weekend saw very good fishing for skipjack along with a few yellowtail that were biting for boats fishing around the 9 Mile Bank.

The yellowfin have been 6- to 30-pound fish and they have been biting from kelp paddies, trolling strikes, porpoise schools, meter marks and sonar marks. Sardines have been working best for bait.

Striped marlin are biting pretty well for boats fishing around and about the eastern end of Catalina with action ranging from the area outside of the Slide on over to where you are fishing off Church Rock. Most of the marlin action has been coming in close to the island while fishing between the 40-fathom curve and the 100-fathom curve.

There have been tailers and feeders biting on mackerel and the action have also been coming on the troll while using jigs and ballyhoo.

My estimation is there were eight to 10 marlin caught and released Oct. 27-28. It was good enough action that one boat was able to catch and release three marlin over their two days of fishing on the weekend. Other areas where there has been recent marlin activity have been outside of the oilrigs in the Catalina Channel, the 14 Mile Bank and the Osborn Bank.

Not many boats have been fishing at Los Coronado Islands lately due to the good fishing offshore but a recent report was of some good mixed bag fishing for bonito, bass, reds and an assortment of rockfish. The best areas for the surface fishing have been the weather side of North Island and the Middle Grounds. Also look for the reds and rockfish while fishing hard bottom areas to the north and the northwest of North Island in the 25 to 40 fathom depths. Malihini out of H&M Landing fished at the Coronado Islands on a full-day trip on Oct. 27 and had a fish count of 35 bonito, 50 reds, 18 whitefish, three rockfish, one sand bass, one sheephead and one lingcod.

The fishing along the San Diego County coast has been good for a mix of bonito, calico bass, sand bass and an assortment of bottom fish. The bonito have been attracting much of the attention and have been mostly 4- to 7-pound fish.

Productive areas for bonito have been the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma, the Dropoff at Point Loma, the Green Tank, Point Loma College, the upper end of La Jolla, Del Mar, Ponto Beach, the Carlsbad Canyon, the Buccaneer Pipeline and the area outside of the Oceanside Pier.

The calendar says it is late in the fishing season but there are still lots of warm water fish around and biting that one might tend to associate with the warm water summer months. I hope you have a chance to get out on the water and get in on this late season action! Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!
