New laws to address oil wells and beach erosion

By Parimal M. Rohit

SACRAMENTO — California Gov. Jerry Brown signed two bills addressing ocean-themed environmental issues into law in late September. One new law would specifically address how California would handle oil and gas wells in the event of operator bankruptcy. The other new law would require the State Coastal Conservancy to ramp up various climate change projects, such as reducing flood risks and enhancing fish and wildlife habitat.

Senate Bill 1147 The state’s handling of offshore oil and gas wells, in the event the respective operators file for bankruptcy, was at the heart of Senate Bill 1147 (SB 1147).

A State Senate analysis of the bill, which Brown signed into law on Sept.

20, said SB 1147 would direct a public agency and leading official to jointly “take certain actions to help pay for offshore oil and gas well … infrastructure decommissioning in the event of operator bankruptcy.”

SB 1147 was introduced in response

S

to bankruptcies recently filed by Platform Holly and Rincon Island. The decommissioning of oil and gas wells associated with both operators became the state’s responsibility, in light of the bankruptcy filings.

California is home to five offshore oil and gas facilities within state waters.

Related infrastructure on state tidelands – such as pipelines – serves those oil and gas facilities.

Both Platform Holly and Rincon Island were quitclaimed to the State of California after recent bankruptcy proceedings. Venoco divested from Platform Holly near Goleta after the 2015 Refugio Oil Spill. Rincon Island Limited Partnership (RILP) sought bankruptcy protection in 2016, opening the door for the company to quitclaim its interests in an oil and gas operation just off Mussel Shoals in Ventura County.

“Existing bonding requirements, additional funds from Venoco and RILP or their successor entities, and other moneys from previous lessees potentially available to the state will not cover all of the state’s costs for maintaining safe operations at Platform Holly and Rincon Island prior to oil and gas well plugging and abandonment, and facility decommissioning,” a State Senate analysis of SB 1147 said.

SB 1147, thanks to Brown’s signature, would now allow state officials to create leasing and permitting reforms

o g e i an D

to allow for future decommissioning/removal costs to be covered by oil companies, not the public.

Both houses of the legislature backed SB 1147 unanimously.

Assembly Bill 3012 Brown also signed into law a bill calling for the State Coastal Conservancy to ramp up projects it supports to Bankruptcies associated with Rincon Island and Platform Holly (pictured) – both help reduce flood on California’s Ventura/Santa Barbara coast – spawned the state legislature to pass SB 1147.

Federal study: Boating and fishing represent highest output nationwide Commerce Department report show the two marine activities are largest core activities with a $36.9 billion gross output.

National Gross Output – Outdoor Recreation $36.9 billion

By Parimal M. Rohit

$34.7 billion

Parimal M. Rohit photo

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A Department of Commerce report published on the final day of summer found the boating and fishing industries produced the largest gross output in the country.

The first-ever report studying the national economic contributions of the various outdoor industries showed the boating and fishing sectors as No. 1 overall – producing $36.9 billion of “real gross output” in 2016.

Commerce Department staff with the Bureau of Economic Analysis released the Outdoor Recreation Satellite Account (ORSA) on Sept. 20; the report was pushed ahead by Sens.

Cory Gardner, R-Colorado, and Jeanne Shaheen, D-New Hampshire.

Game areas – such as tennis courts and golf courses – was the nation’s second largest segment for real gross output, according to the ORSA report.

The game areas segment accounted for $34.7 billion of real gross output in 2016.

RVing ($30 billion), guided tours and travel ($25.7 billion), concerts/ festivals/sporting events ($23.1 billion) and motorcycling/ATVing ($20.2 billion)

A federal study found boating and fishing to be the top overall outdoor activity in the nation, in terms of output. Boating and fishing are particularly popular pastimes in San Diego.

rounded out the list of top outdoor recreational activities in 2016.

“Motorcycling/ATVing activities accounted for $20.3 billion of real gross output in 2016, representing one of the fastest-growing activities at 8.0 percent growth from the previous year,” the ORSA report stated. “Multi-use Apparel and Accessories, such as backpacks and bug spray, that cannot be linked to a specific activity accounted for 12.2 percent, or $89.3 billion, of real gross output in 2016.”

The Commerce Department report added the outdoor recreation economy grew by 1.7 percent in 2016, slightly ahead of the 1.6 percent growth of the overall U.S. economy that same year.

“In the Outdoor Recreation Satellite Account, gross output—principally a

measure of sales or receipts associated with the outdoor recreation economy— is presented both by industry and by outdoor recreation activity,” Commerce Department staff stated about the ORSA report. “Outdoor recreation activities fall into three general categories: conventional core activities (including activities such as bicycling, boating, hiking, and hunting); other core activities (including activities such as gardening and outdoor concerts); and, supporting activities (including construction, travel and tourism, local trips, and government expenditures).

“In 2016, conventional outdoor recreation accounted for 32.7 percent of real outdoor recreation gross output, other recreation accounted for 19.3 percent, and supporting activi-

Nearly 2.2 percent of the current-dollar Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2016 was represented by the outdoor recreation economy ($412 billion), the report added.

Maine restaurant owner believes marijuana enhances lobsters’ lives and eases death by boiling

SOUTHWEST HARBOR, Maine — Charlotte’s Legendary Lobster Pound, a local eatery in Maine, has been offering a strange item on their menu: “smoked” lobsters that have been administered marijuana before their deaths upon customer request.

According to USA Today, Charlotte Gill, the restaurant’s owner, has been using a method she invented herself after experimentation on a lobster she named Roscoe.

After feeling bad about the pain crustaceans may feel as they are being boiled alive, Gill placed Roscoe in a covered box with two inches of water and pumped marijuana smoke into

one of 13 shipwrecks that have been known for years to be in the harbor near Newport, Rhode Island.

Archaeologists met late September in Newport to talk about their recent fieldwork.

“Early indications are that the team has narrowed the possible site for the wreck of HMB Endeavour to one site, which is very promising,” said Kevin Sumption, director and CEO of the Australian National Maritime Museum.

The Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project also described the site as promising but said it’ll still take a lot more work and money to identify it.

“Certainly it’s a very exciting discovery in absolute terms,” he said. “They’re very, very confident that the Endeavour is in the site.”

The Endeavour was also part of the fleet of 13 ships the British scuttled during the Revolutionary War in 1778 to blockade Newport Harbor from the French. It was listed in the records under a different name, the Lord Sandwich.

The nonprofit Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project located documents in London identifying the groups of ships in that fleet and where each was scuttled. It has been studying the wrecks in Newport Harbor since

Nearly 250 years ago, Cook ran aground on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef during a voyage to the South Pacific. His ship was the Endeavour, an awkward little vessel that improbably helped him become the first European to chart Australia’s east coast. He used Endeavour to claim Australia for the British during his historic 1768-1771 voyage.

Vice Adm. Michael Noonan, chief of the Royal Australian Navy, said he dove at the Rhode Island site with researchers.

He measured one of the cannons so the dimensions can be compared to historical records, and they took samples of the wood. He’s hopeful the wreck is

Re: Gov. Brown signs opposition to offshore oil drilling proposals (issue Sept.

21-Oct. 4)

“Vote against this American dictator” Every federal land bill passed by the Obama Administration has been either eliminated or challenged by Trump — it is appalling. The voting public must stand firm and voice their opposition to these senseless, vindictive policies that will affect our environment for years to come.

I urge the public to vote against this American dictator. Get out and vote.

Arthur Gacad

“Hypocrisy, pure and simple” An every time I see this reference, I call BS on Brown’s so-called opposition to offshore drilling

because he has opened state waters to offshore drilling. How the hell he gets lauded as an environmentalist is beyond me.

Opposing the feds on this is rather a fool’s errand, will require years of lawsuits, etc. Worse yet, the wells he approves are in low income regions of the state.

Hypocrisy, pure and simple.

There must be some number of casual anglers who look at the calendar during the summer and fall and just skip buying the license for the remainder of the calendar year. Instead, there should be tiers of cost that decrease through the season. This is how some some sports channels (NBA League Pass comes to mind).

Navigating South of the Red Tape: Mexico Boating Mexican officials stepped up the bureaucratic process for U.S. boaters in 2014; has the process worked out?

By Parimal M. Rohit

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — Bureaucracy is like taxes: it’s a process we all have to live with regardless of our level of annoyance or dislike.

The addition, in 2014, of bureaucratic measures to manage boating traffic to Baja California from San Diego and points due north was certainly met with more than a little push back.

Mexican officials have since made an effort to cooperate with U.S. boaters as much as possible, going so far as to host Temporary Import Permit (TIP) cancellation events across the United States. Has the permitting and paperwork process finally smoothed out? Are boaters navigating south of the border with ease, with-

out worry of incomplete paperwork or otherwise lacking compliance?

TIPs, for those who need a refresher, is a document boaters must legally possess in order to keep his or her vessel in Mexico. The permit allows the boat to remain in Mexico for up to 10 years. You’ll need a TIP even if you’re planning to navigate into Mexican water for one day or a few hours.

The Log has covered the vessel entry/exit process in the past, but it is worth reminding boaters of the bureaucratic hurdles you’ll have to jump over as you navigate into Mexico – and the rules apply to anyone visiting Mexican waters, whether or not you’re actually setting foot on land south of the border.

You’ll have to apply for your TIP online. The application process includes paying the current fee and providing relevant information, such as your passport number, anticipated crew list and vessel documentation. A spreadsheet See STANDING WATCH page 8

FAST FACTS

Loreto: California’s First Capital

On Board With Johnson

by J.R. Johnson

LORETO, Mexico — Alaska Airlines offers one flight per day to a sleepy resort town on the Eastern Baja California coast. The Log hopped onto one of those flights visited this resort town – Loreto – two years ago. Loreto, at that time was home to more marinas (two) than signal lights (one). At least one of Loreto’s marinas (Marina Puerto Escondido) expanded the amount of slips available for boaters. Yet we haven’t verified whether the town’s public works department erected new signal lights since our last visit.

What Loreto lacks in urban amenities it makes up for in history, charm and character. Loreto was founded in October 1697 – meaning the town will celebrate 321 years this month – and became the first capital city of Las Californias (1768-1777), a province of New Spain. Monterrey became the province’s capital city in 1777, but Loreto can officially claim to be California’s first-ever seat of

government. Take that, Sacramento?

The province’s run ended in 1804 and eventually became the U.S. state of California and the Mexican states of Baja California and Baja California Sur. Loreto itself is in Baja California Sur and the region is home to about 20,000-some people. Sacramento (California), Mexicali (Baja California) and La Paz (Baja California Sur) are now the capital cities of the three states stemming from Las Californias.

Port of L.A. directs removal of pipelines at Waterfront project What Happened: PBF Energy Western Region was ordered by the Port of Los Angeles’ Board of Harbor Commissioners to remove inactive pipelines from the area where the San Pedro Waterfront will eventually be developed.

The pipelines do not need to be relocated since they are inactive. PBF Energy will fund the removal of the pipelines.

“In 2009, the Board [of Harbor Commissioners] approved the San Pedro Waterfront EIR [Environmental Impact

What Happened: Gov. Jerry Brown signed Assembly Bill 2528 into law; the new measure would allow state officials to identify, study and better understand habitat resilient areas – particularly ecosystems directly affected by sea level rise, drought or wildfires. The bill made it out of the Assembly by a relatively narrow 44-32 vote. The vote was also close in the State Senate, 23-12.

What’s On Tap: AB 2528 updated habitat vulnerabilities addressed by the state’s climate change policy; the update, according to an Assembly analysis, will include “watersheds that are naturally resilient to climate impacts.”

“This bill would ask the [state’s Strategic Growth Council] to take a closer look at four watersheds in California: salmon and steelhead strongholds, source watersheds, mountain meadows, and estuaries, and focuses planning on protecting these areas in coordination with the Governor’s office and the Pacific Coast Collaborative,” the most recent legislative analysis said about AB 2528. “By doing so, the state will be able to create more climate resilient habitat, and conserve critical water supplies for all in California and throughout the entire Pacific Coast.”

AB 2528 also proposed to add parks and recreation, climate justice and land use sectors to the state’s climate adaptation strategy.

A few sources in the San Diego area told The Log there has been little to no drama for boaters navigating into Mexico from Southern California marinas and harbors. Some people are annoyed with the bureaucracy, according to these sources, but they also confirmed the Mexican government has made an effort to make the process as smooth as possible for U.S. boaters.

Keeping in touch with Mexican officials, however, is paramount to ensuring an amicable process. The Mexican government published a handy guide for U.S. boaters, entitled “Visiting Mexico by Private Boat.” Many marinas in Mexico will happily share this guide with U.S. boaters.

Marina de La Paz posted a PDF of the most recent guide and can be viewed here: www.marinadelapaz. com/pdf/BoatingInMexico.pdf.

Also be sure to know your bureaucracy. Here are the seven organizations you need to be aware of when navigating into Mexico:

TAKE ACTION Below are a few contacts to help you through Mexico’s boating bureaucracy. Most marinas will be able to guide you through the process. Remember to address your vessel’s TIP if you recently purchased a boat. TIPs from previous owners are non-transferable and must be canceled personally in Mexico.

Scientific support or no?

Actually, we have seen some algae blooms this year locally, in Channel Islands Harbor, even as May and June weather were a bit cooler than normal. Weather and water temperature warmed up considerably later in the summer, so I guess that doesn’t support the global warming/algae link theory so well.

New recreational state park along Walker River declared “a slice of Nevada heaven” YERINGTON, Nevada (AP) — Gov. Brian Sandoval says Nevada’s newest state park is “a slice of Nevada heaven.”

Sandoval hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Walker River State Recreation Area outside Yerington The park along 28 miles (45 kilometers) of the picturesque Walker River is on 12,000 acres (4,856 hectares) that made up three historic ranches about 80 miles (128.74 kilometers) southeast of Reno.

It’s the first time in a century it will be open to kayakers, canoes and fishermen who long have regarded that stretch of river one of Nevada’s best trout streams.

The Walker River Conservancy purchased and deeded the land to the state, a gift Sandoval valued at $8 million.

Lawsuit embroils marine towing company for $250,000 after dredge sinks off Oregon coast ASTORIA, Oregon (AP) — The Port of Chinook has filed a $250,000 lawsuit against a marine towing company over a dredge that sank in rough waters on the way to Astoria in 2016.

The Daily Astorian reported the lawsuit, filed in Clatsop County Circuit Court, alleged workers with the Ilwaco, Washington towing company caused the accident because they didn’t seal up pipes inside the dredge before towing it.

The newspaper reported fuel from the dredge was pumped out before any leaked into the ocean.

The port’s insurance company hired a salvage contractor to help clean up the damage.

Funds of $1.7 granted to Conservancy to revitalize Lake Tahoe wetlands SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, California (AP) — The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has awarded a $1.7 million grant to the California Tahoe Conservancy to help restore a marsh at Lake Tahoe that is the largest remaining wetland in the Sierra Nevada.

The conservancy intends to spend $9 million next year to restore 500 acres (202 hectares) of the south shore’s Upper Truckee Marsh.

Board Chair Brooke Lane says the $9 million project is one of the most important in the Tahoe Basin’s history. It’s the largest Stream Environment Zone project in California.

Lane says development the last century destroyed half the marsh and left the Upper Truckee River channelized where it enters Lake Tahoe. It currently delivers more fine sediment to Lake Tahoe than any other tributary.

The plan is to redirect the river to its historic network of channels through the marsh.

California to foster microplastics strategy and work on abandoned vessel removal Two new laws would help maintain local waterways without plastic pollution or ditched boats.

SACRAMENTO — Ridding California’s waters of microplastics and abandoned commercial vessels were the themes of two bills signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, last month. Extra funds would be made available to allow the Ocean Protection Council to continue its efforts in fostering a statewide microplastics strategy. The State Lands Commission, meanwhile, would be directed to use federal or private funds to remove abandoned commercial vessels in the Sacrament-San Joaquin Delta.

Senate Bill 1263 State Sen. Antony Portantino, D-Los Angeles, introduced Senate Bill 1263 (SB 1263) to benefit the Ocean Protection Council’s mission to address ocean conservation and protection.

SB 1263 specifically directs the council to adopt and implement a Statewide Microplastics Strategy. The strategy would, in principle, foster partnerships

The removal of abandoned vessels was the focus of AB 2441, which was recently signed into law. The State Lands Commission can remove abandoned vessels from tidelands within its jurisdiction. Another bill addressing microplastics was also signed into law in September.

and collaborations with various agencies and entities to address the presence of microplastics in the ocean.

The Ocean Protection Council would present its Statewide Microplastics Strategy to the state legislature by or before Dec. 31, 2021; the strategy would have to be implement

by Dec. 31, 2024. Recommendations for policy changes or additional research must be submitted by or before Dec. 31, 2025.

“Ocean litter, also commonly referred to as “marine debris,” is a persistent and growing problem worldwide that significantly impacts the health and beauty of our oceans and beaches. It poses serious threats to marine wildlife, including sea birds, turtles, and mammals such as dolphins and whales, as well as human health and welfare,” a State Senate analysis of SB 1263 stated. “Once in the marine environment, litter is not just an eyesore, but can damage habitats, harm wildlife through entanglement and ingestion, and have negative economic impacts on coastal communities.”

The existence of microplastics in the water is a subset of the larger marine debris phenomenon. Policy analysts in Sacramento stated microplastics could be found in the seafood we consume.

“Microplastics consumed by marine

organisms make their way into animals’ tissues and are beginning to show up in the fish that humans eat,” a State Senate legislative analysis on SB 1263 stated. “In a recent study by UC Davis and Hasunuddin University of Indonesia, researchers sampled fish from markets in Makassar, Indonesia, Half Moon Bay, California, and Princeton, New Jersey. One-quarter of the fish sampled in all locations contained plastic.”

The new law would cast a wide net in how Ocean Protection Council should address microplastics.

“The components of the Statewide Microplastics Strategy vary and would range from topics such as standardizing methods for sampling, detecting, and characterizing microplastics to characterizing ambient concentrations of microplastics in the marine environment, and an investigation of those microplastics, to addressing microplastic impact on marine habitats and organisms, including humans, through pathways that impact the marine environment,” the most recent legislative analysis of SB 1263 stated.

“While some aspects of the strategy focus on the impact of microplastics and the impact they have on the health of our oceans, other aspects are geared towards microplastics and the impact

they have on drinking water and other means of human consumption,” the legislative analysis continued.

The 5 Gyres Institute, Audubon California, Heal the Bay and Surfrider Foundation, among other organizations and agencies, formally supported SB 1263.

Assembly members approved SB 1263 by an 80-0 vote on Aug. 27; the bill also cleared the State Senate with a 39-0 vote on Aug. 28.

Assembly Bill 2441 California’s State Lands Commission has been vested with the power to manage tidelands and submerged lands. Included within that power is the commission’s ability to take, without notice, immediate action to remove abandoned vessels within its jurisdiction.

Assembly Bill 2441 (AB 2441) extended the commission’s responsibility to develop a plan to remove abandoned commercial vessels once it receives appropriated funds by the legislature. The new law specifically applies to abandoned commercial vessels in the Sacrament-San Joaquin Delta.

“Over the last several years, the state has experienced an increase in the amount of watercraft being abandoned in state waterways. Boats are some of the most expensive luxury items to maintain and store, and unlike other luxury goods cannot be disposed of easily or cheaply,” the Assembly’s most recent legislative analysis of AB 2441 stated. “[A recent news report stated] some boat owners were selling vessels for as little as one-dollar to avoid the cost of removing their boats from California waterways and properly disposing of the vessel.”

Abandoned vessels - whether commercial or recreational - can be quite the navigational and environmental hazard.

“Abandoned boats, especially those that capsize and sink, can interfere with boating traffic and damage operational vessels attempting to navigate a waterway. More troublesome, abandoned boats that begin to deteriorate can leach toxic chemicals or fuel into state waterways,” the Assembly’s legislative analysis stated.

“Contaminates in the Delta could have a significant impact to a large number of Californians’ drinking water and could set back Delta restoration goals.

Removing these vessels is difficult, potentially dangerous, and expensive.”

The State Lands Commission must develop its plan to address the removal of abandoned commercial vessels by July 1, 2019, under this new law.

Brown signed AB 2441 on Sept. 19; the bill passed the State Senate on Aug. 28 (39-0 vote) and Assembly on Aug. 30 (79-0 vote).

BoatUS Survey: Boaters don’t want E15 fuel

By Parimal M. Rohit

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia — Boaters don’t want ethanol fuel in their marine engines, according to the results of a BoatUS survey released on Sept. 19.

The report specifically found 83 percent of recreational boaters would fill up with E0 – or ethanol-free – fuel if it was available at the pump.

The survey was conducted during this year’s peak boating season and asked recreational boaters about their interests in fueling up with ethanol blends. Misfueling and the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) were the two issues identified as chief concerns among boaters.

“The results identify potential misfueling issues and allow recreational boaters to be heard as RFS policy is being debated on Capitol Hill,” Scott Croft, BoatUS’ spokesperson, said in a released statement.

Croft echoed the recurring message of fuel blends with more than 10 percent ethanol being incompatible with marine engines.

“Only fuels containing up to 10 percent ethanol (E10) are permitted for use in recreational boats, and anything

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in 2010, opened the door to allow increased levels of E15 fuel in the marketplace. The marketplace waiver was granted, according to BoatUS, “to keep up with the RFS mandate and avoid hitting a ‘blend wall’ in which the volume of ethanol production would exceed consumption and infrastructure constraints.”

Even Jack Dempsey, the heavyweight boxing champion, was attached to the company that operated it during the 1930s, the decade when Americans traveled to Mexico to dodge Prohibition. Eventually the hotel went into decline and, after serving as a military headquarter during WWII, it never fully recovered to its onetime glory.

California’s top executive rejected creation of office because it added another layer of bureaucracy.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SACRAMENTO — A proposal to develop a new governmental office to promote kayaking, fishing and other outdoor recreational activities was squashed

by California’s governor on Sept. 17, as Assembly Bill 1918 was sent back to the legislature despite broad support from Assembly members and State Senators.

Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed the creation of the Office of Sustainable Outdoor Recreation; Brown’s veto message stated the creation of such an entity would add an unnecessary layer of bureaucracy.

“The activities identified in this bill are important, but a new bureaucracy is not needed to accomplish the goal,” Brown stated in his veto message. “Over the last few years the Department of Parks and Recreation has worked toward enhancing recreational opportunities throughout the state. In fact, Parks California, a support organization to the Department of Parks and Recreation, was recently created to promote outdoor recreation and is engaging in similar activities to those called for in this bill.”

Assembly member Eduardo Garcia, who authored AB 1918, did not immediately release a statement about the bill’s veto; a request for comment was not replied to as of press time.

Garcia introduced the bill more than

eight months ago, hoping to create a new agency dedicated to supporting the outdoor recreational economy. The proposal would have also created an advisory board to provide expertise and other support to the office, had Brown signed the AB 1918 into law.

The Assembly member, shortly after legislators approved the bill in late August, said the creation of the Office of Sustainable Outdoor Recreation would both urge Californians to participate more in recreational activities and contribute to the economy. “#California is blessed with a diverse terrain of recreational pursuits and our work with AB 1918 will help get more people out to explore them,” Garcia said on a social media post just ahead of his bill going to Brown’s desk. “We are just the Governor’s signature away from establishing a new state Office of Sustainable #OutdoorRecreation to help unleash to full economic potential of this already booming over $92 billion #OutdoorIndustry. This will mean more #CAJobs along with a wide range of other health and educational benefits.”

An Office of Sustainable Outdoor Recreation, had it survived Brown’s veto, would have be called upon to support California’s outdoor recreational economy and recommend policies to “enhance recreational activities and experiences.”

The office would have also been directed to collect and develop data to determine how outdoor recreational activities affect the California economy, all while being a central point of contact for outdoors enthusiasts and industry members.

Office of Sustainable Outdoor Recreation vetoed by Gov. Brown

A proposal to establish a statewide office to promote kayaking, fishing and other outdoor activities was shot down by Gov. Jerry Brown on Sept. 17.

An Assembly analysis of the bill stated California’s outdoor recreation economy is the nation’s largest, generating more than $85 million in consumer spending and creating 730,000-plus direct jobs.

“Despite the size and impact of the outdoor recreation economy in California, there is no single state-level office or governmental body that has the visibility and authority necessary to promote and advance the sector and harness its impact to improve outdoor recreation opportunities in the state,” the Assembly analysis, which was published on Aug. 28, said.” As California’s population continues to grow and diversify, there is an opportunity to actively engage the outdoor recreation industry to continue and grow its leadership on issues related to stewardship of natural resources and connecting Californians, especially those from diverse communi-

ties, to the outdoors.”

Brown’s veto could pose an interesting question: what should be the government’s role be in promoting outdoor recreational activities, be it boating, fishing, kayaking or otherwise? To what extent should those specific industries, just the same, rely upon the government to push for greater outdoor recreation participation (versus campaigning for the same goal through their own respective channels)?

It’s unclear where the fine balance between bureaucratic support and private enterprise should be struck, but California will, at minimum, maintain the status quo with its outdoor recreational economy for the rest of 2018 and into 2019.

AB 1918 cleared the State Senate with a 33-3 vote, followed by a 75-0 tally in the Assembly.

California abolishes large ocean fishing nets

By Parimal M. Rohit

SACRAMENTO — California has finally caught up with the rest of the West Coast in banning drift gillnets by 2023. It was one of the rare scenarios where the state was not out in front of a hot button environmental issue.

Senate Bill 1017 (SB 1017) – introduced by State Sen. Ben Allen, D-Santa Monica – was officially signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown on Sept. 27.

The bill’s passage and signing brings California level with similar actions taken by Washington and Oregon on drift gillnet fishery regulations.

California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife, or DFW, must, by March 21, 2020, develop a program to voluntarily transition drift gillnet permit holders out of the fishery. The transition must take place by or before Jan. 31, 2023.

The new law also would not create

or recognize any property rights “in fish expected to be caught using a [drift gillnet] permit,” a legislative analysis of SB 1017 stated.

Gillnets are used by commercial fishing vessels to catch swordfish.

The nets, however, catch – and often kill or harm – other State Sen. Ben Allen’s proposal to ban drift gillnets was signed into law on Sept. 27, allowing California to catch up with the rest of the West Coast in fish species. managing the swordfish fishery.

“Gillnets are designed to catch a specific size range of fish, but are not cally 10 to 50 feet high,” the legislative species specific,” an Assembly analysis analysis continued. “Fishermen vary of SB 1017 stated. “They often entangle the mesh size or size of the net holes many fish that fishermen are not trying depending on the size of the species to catch.

For permittees that have not landed swordfish or thresher shark since April 1, 2012, and who voluntarily surrender their permit, the DFW will pay only the fair market value of the DGN permit, not to exceed $10,000.”

Commercial fishers participating in the voluntary transition program cannot obtain a new drift gillnet permit.

Implementing and enforcing this new law is expected to increase state costs by $520,000 during the first year.

“The DFW estimates it will require $3.6 million to achieve the buyout of holder of [drift gillnet] permits (various sources of public and private funds),” a legislative analysis out of the Assembly stated.

Only 20 commercial fishing boats use drift gillnet permits today, according to a news report. There were more than 10 dozen such permits issued 25 years ago.

Avalon’s full-service Vons on track to open by the end of the year

By Devon Warren

AVALON — Anyone who has visited Catalina Island, or any island for that matter, knows some of the luxuries mainlanders have become accustomed to are not always readily available.

While visiting Catalina last summer, this journalist came across plenty of folks living on the island who described the monthly routine of shuffling an empty suitcase to Target or Costco to gather goods to take home on the ferry.

Big name stores, such as Vons, are far and few between, and the opening of the full-service location on the Island is much anticipated. In the past,

there has been some difficulty bringing the supermarket’s plans to fruition in Avalon, but it appears that the 23,044 square foot store destined to open on Summer Avenue has mostly stayed on track once construction began.

According to Avalon Planning Director, Amanda During The Log’s trip to Catalina Island, a photo was snapped of the Cook, Vons is sticking to the “yearend” grand construction progression of the new Vons as of June 25, 2018. opening and progress has been smooth.

“As part of the original approvals, there was a discussion about changing some of the curb parking in the 200 block of Sumner Avenue to diagonal parking to increase the parking capacity for that block,” Cook said. “The City Council declined to move forward with the additional parking now (and the associated costs). The plan is to readdress any parking issues once the store is open.”

There is currently a Vons that operates at 123 Metropole Avenue, which is the only grocery store in town. While this location is stocked with most necessities, it would likely be considered closer to a convenience store by those not used to island living.

Construction began on the Summer Avenue location last year in December.

Will a new location of the popular specialty store open on Pier 44? California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control says store seeks a liquor license.

By Devon Warren

MARINA DEL REY — Since 2015, talk of the chain grocery store, which features signature shopping products from all corners of the world and healthy eating options for a reasonable price, has been on the books.

The Argonaut, in a Sept. 12 report, stated Trader Joe’s was seeking a liquor license for its planned location in Marina del Rey. Trader Joe’s submitted plans to build a new waterfront store in the L.A. County enclave of Marina del Rey, with its services available to the areas boaters.

In the lofty redevelopment plans for Pier 44, also known as Admiralty

Way, there have been plans to include a Trader Joe’s that would be especially serviceable to boaters. A rendering, dating back to 2015, illustrated a Trader Joe’s directly near the waterfront.

Outdoor dining could be seen and boat slips for a “dock-and-shop” concept were also discussed. Featured as well was a water taxi service.

In The Argonaut’s article, John Carr, a spokesman for the California Department of Alcholic Beverage Control, did confirm that Trader Joe’s was seeking a liquor license specifically for a Marina del Rey location. However, though a Trader Joe’s might be popping up in the area soon, at this time it’s unknown whether it will feature the amenities suggested in the renderings from 2015.

Another release, authored by Kendra Strey of Marina del Rey and Visitors Bureau, included a section on the future developments of Marina del Rey. The release, uploaded to PR Web on

SARRIS INTERIORS & CANVAS

April 19, states, “The waterfront commercial project on Admiralty Way known as Pier 44 will include specialty retailers like Trader Joe’s and West Marine, dining options, and guest docks for boaters.

Completion is anticipated in 2019-2020.”

Orange County’s lease option period inches to a close on Oct. 31, but reality of Dana Point Harbor’s revitalization might still be 12 years away.

By Devon Warren

DANA POINT — California coastal cities just cannot get away from redevelopment these days, but one of the most enduring sagas of waterfront development has consumed Dana Point for the past 21 years. A hallmark moment came in July when the Orange County Board of Supervisors approved a draft lease with the specially formed developer Dana Point Harbor Partners.

Consisting of the “best management practice” individuals for the job, Dana Point Harbor Partners are made up of three individuals, all of which have an impressive portfolio of developments, including Joe Uebberoff of Bellingham Marine & Bellwether Financial, Bryon Ward of Burnam-Ward, and R.D. Olson.

The partnership is split evenly into thirds with Ward taking responsibility for the commercial portion, R.D. Olson taking over the hotel construction and Uebberoff developing the marina.

While some details of the revitalization are known, including a comprehensive construction schedule estimating the majority of tasks will take beyond 2023 to finish, those involved with the revitalization project are keeping design elements close to the cuff. At this point, according to Dana Point Harbor Partners and Orange County, the project ahead appears to focus on a basic rebuilding of the harbor according to the Local Coastal Plan.

Between approvals, permits, further public feedback sessions, feedback from the California Coastal Commission and more, it appears Dana Point’s revitalization, even after 21 years of stalls, is still not going to manifest overnight.

The process and organization is still as chaotic as ever — many questions have still gone unanswered.

Dana Point Harbor Advisory Board meeting Dana Point Harbor Advisory Board (DPHAB) held a public meeting at the Ocean Institute on Sept. 24. Stacy Blackwood, director of OC Parks, and Thomas “Mat” Miller, Chief Real Estate Officer, were hosted at the meeting as representatives for County of Orange and the Dana Point Harbor Partners.

At the beginning of the meeting, Ward prefaced the presentation stating that there would be “a lot of placeholders” and that he hoped the community would be patient with the process.

Ward stated, “I don’t want you [the audience] to think everything has to be in place by the time we exercise our lease.”

Developers rarely shy away from flexing their artistic muscles.

Most present a vision of what the town could be, with big bold ideas and creative energy such as in the Chula Vista redevelopment plan. During this meeting – the second public presentation by Dana Point Partners – the developers did look a touch nervous with audience members, many boaters, Dana Point’s harbor revitalization plan has been 21 years in the making.

Billionaire’s appeal to restrict beach access denied

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Happiness isn’t a tangible item you can buy at a brickand-mortar store or on some e-commerce website – which feeds the eternal discussion of whether a happy state of mind can be acquired for the right price.

Silicon Valley entrepreneur and billionaire Vinod Khosla, however, found out the piles upon piles of cash resting in the depths of his bottomless pockets could not buy him his own stretch of beach in Central California.

The U.S. Supreme Court, on Oct. 1, rejected Khosla’s appeal to maintain control over a public stretch of waterfront at Martins Beach, a small coastal enclave about one hour south of San Francisco. Attorneys for Khosla argued the venture capitalist’s Fifth Amendment rights were violated.

Governmental agencies, in seeking to provide coastal access to the public, illegally seized his property, Khosla’s legal team argued.

Khosla’s legal loss means he will have to allow the public access to a stretch of beach connected to property he owns just outside of Half Moon Bay in San Mateo County. A portion of Martins Beach has to be accessed by a path running through Khosla’s property. Khosla, a ventura capitalist, sought to have the path blocked (via locked gates), thereby restricting the public’s access to the beach.

Decisions by the Supreme Court cannot be appealed; the Oct. 1 rejection of Khosla’s case, accordingly, is final.

The venture capitalist reportedly stated he would still pursue his legal claims, despite the Supreme Court’s rejection of appeal.

Public access to Martins Beach through Khosla’s land had been unfettered for decades until Khosla shut down the pathway when he bought the property in 2008. He had been

Ocean Institute raises $70,000 for Spirit of Dana Point upgrades

By Parimal M. Rohit

DANA POINT — The Ocean Institute announced it raised $70,000 to help replace the Spirit of Dana Point engine.

Ocean Institute staff launched a fundraiser campaign after it received $68,745 in state grant funding for the tall ship’s engine replacement.

Marine Group Boat Works in San Diego will start working on the ship’s engine. The old engine will be replaced with a low-emission, 265-horsepower marine diesel engine, made by John Deere.

The 118-foot Spirit of Dana Point is a replica of a 1770s privateer schooner used during the American Revolution.

She was built in Orange County and launched in 1983 and was previously named Pilgrim of Newport. Spirit of Dana Point, which has been docked at Ocean Institute in Dana Point Harbor, is regularly boarded for educational voyages.

the coast who celebrated the Supreme Court’s rejection of Khosla’s case.

“We celebrate a hard-fought win based on California law that, once again, has proven to protect our treasured natural resources, and access to them, for every man, woman and child who heads to the beach in the ‘pursuit of happiness’ afforded by our nation’s laws and to ‘maximize public recreational opportunities in the coastal zone” as afforded by our state Coastal Act,’” a Surfrider Foundation statement published after the Supreme Court’s rejection stated.

The Supreme Court’s rejection of Khosla’s appeal does not necessarily mean the venture capitalist is entirely out of options. Khosla could still seek a permit to alter the public’s access to Martins Beach, a Surfrider Foundation statement said. The public, however, can freely access Martins Beach through Khosla’s property in the meantime.

“This means the road to the beach must remain unlocked and open to the public until property owner billionaire, Vinod Khosla, applies for and obtains a permit to change access,” Surfrider Foundation staff said in a released statement.

Provisioning for a long or short cruise

By Capt. Nicole Sours Larson

to” cruisers’ cookbooks filled with advice on provisioning and meal planning, including scheduling use of fresh produce, meats and fish.

I’ve recommended these resources previously: Carolyn Shearlock and Jan Irons’“The Boat Galley Cookbook” (plus Shearlock’s website theboatgalley.com, which contains downloadable provisioning spreadsheets and a host of other useful recommendations); Kay Pastorius’ “Cruising Cuisine,” filled with provisioning insights along with 450 gourmet recipes, developed aboard; and Capt.

Michael Greenwald’s “The Cruising Chef Cookbook,” with detailed provisioning plans and adaptable recipes.

I’ve learned you don’t have to refrigerate eggs and many fruits and vegetables. For longer shelf life, buy fresh from farmers whenever possible and choose never-refrigerated products. Previously refrigerated produce tends to rot from the inside out. While it’s hard to find unrefrigerated produce and eggs in the U.S., try farmers markets.

Select firm and un-bruised produce.

Buy it in various stages of ripeness to extend its availability, particularly tomatoes, avocados, pears and mangoes.

SAN DIEGO — When Arv and I kept our former boat on the Chesapeake Bay we often went for weekend or longer cruises. At first I was totally clueless how to lay in enough food to feed us well without risking spoilage, especially since we didn’t want to operate our generator continuously to keep our refrigerator running and didn’t have an inverter.

Eventually I learned how to plan for an adequate number of meals, snacks and impromptu get-togethers with fellow cruisers. I also figured out how to use coolers and cold packs to keep critical foods cold for extended periods and discovered which produce I could safely leave out of the fridge, as well as what to avoid.

Now, cruising in Mexico, I’ve learned a few rules about provisioning for extended cruises, since only small tiendas exist between Ensenada and Cabo. With eating habits changing little on board, select only foods your family and crew actually like, not just practical, nutritious choices. For us that eliminates tofu (which I won’t eat) and chicken (which Arv avoids).

Calculate the number of meals and number of people you need to feed over the given period, allowing generously for extra snacks, and add about 20 percent.

Catalina Connection

By Devon Warren

AVALON — Doug Bombard, a lifelong resident of Catalina Island and founder of Catalina Express, will tell his tales of island life aboard the ‘Round the Island Cruise.

Embarking on Tuesday, Oct. 16, this unique Catalina experience will allow passengers to circle the entirety of Catalina Island while being shown standout landmarks and more by Bombard and others.

The tour will leave from the Catalina Express Terminal at Cabrillo Mole in Avalon and will last from 11:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. From there, the ferry will head towards Two Harbors, journey around the West End and return on the Pacific side.

In addition to Bombard’s narra-

will need additional approvals from the Coastal Commission.”

DPHP will be closely following the standards in the approved Local Coastal Plan, even if they make architectural changes to the buildings, and as they proceed with applications for CDPs for both hotel and marinas (which county/ PDI didn’t secure previously).

This article was written less than one month before the lease was scheduled to be finalized; The Log, accordingly, questioned whether this would be enough time to unveil more details.

In response, the county replied: “The option term still has time on it.

Additionally, the minor revisions to the CDP will require City approval and DPHP intends to make sure that those minor revisions have full community input. The separate hotel and marina components will come later and will require Coastal Commission and City public hearings.”

The county also added: “The commercial core planning is ongoing and plans are being refined. All of the development will be consistent with the County’s approved LCP. The hotel and marina aspects will need coastal development permits from the Coastal Commission, and more refined plans will be developed as a part of that process. The commercial core (which has a CDP from the city) plans and renderings will continue to be refined throughout the rest of the option term and into the

tion, there will be other speakers to add his or her expertise to the tour. A representative from Catalina Island Conservancy is confirmed to talk about the native plants and animals that are special to Catalina.

As a fun fact, passengers who complete circumnavigation of the island earn the “Shellback” status. Those who are taking their second trip get the bragging rights of “Trusty Shellback.”

Single tickets cost $200 per person and a double ticket, providing access for two, is $350. Proceeds of this excursion will go towards Catalina Island Museum. Lunch is also included in the ticket price. Alcoholic beverages can be purchased onboard as well.

lease term. They will be made public as they are refined and will be considered by the City. As DPHP said, they will continue to solicit public input.”

When asked why the parking structure was the first construction project, the county replied: “There is a project schedule that was approved by the Board and attached to the Option Agreement. If any refinements are made, they will be made public. Parking is a continuing issue in the Harbor and will be during the construction period. The initial construction of the 1,011-space parking structure will go a long way to address this.”

At the end of the day, the revitalization process will likely be gradual and will accrue more time. Even though the draft lease is racing towards the end of the option period and a schedule has been planned, there still appears to be quite a few holes and questions that the County and developers will need to address. If there is such a long period left of planning, feedback and more, then why was there such a rush to approve the lease? Either way, a fully revitalized harbor looks to be around 12 years away still – there is surely enough time for continuing input and conversation.

DPHAB has made documentation for the harbor revitalization project, including a construction schedule, vessel transition and slip allocation policy, and more, available on the official website at dphadvisory.org.

South of the Border Cruising: The Boating Life in Mexico Baja California offers international flair without navigating too far from home.

By Parimal M. Rohit

BAJA CALIFORNIA — Hollywood has certainly had a field day of presenting the everyday American venturing south of the border to experience life in Mexico. Examples include the romantic comedy “The Mexican,”

neo-noir thriller “Get the Gringo” and the western classic “Two Mules for Sister Sara.” These films, of course, have no bearing on the everyday life of Southern California boaters, other than to loosely connect the presence of Americans in Mexico.

Southern California’s boating and sportfishing communities have been dipping south of the border well before Hollywood found a niche for adventurous storytelling in Mexico. Several cities in Baja California – Ensenada, Los Cabos, La Paz, Loreto and San

Felipe – serve as idyllic boating destinations for those who seek international adventure while navigating relatively close to Southern California.

Mexico’s Baja California – the world’s third-largest peninsula – is a major draw for Southern California’s boating and sportfishing communities, home to several resort marinas and landings hosting offshore fishing jaunts. Boaters who dock or anchor in any of Baja’s boating destinations have the gamut of activities to explore – assuming they actually want to get off

their boat.

The state of Baja California, for example, is home to Ensenada and San Felipe. Both cities are perhaps the most “convenient” of Mexico’s boating destinations, as both cities are relative close to the United States. San Felipe is specifically ideal for trailer boats, though there are plenty who are content navigating all the way down the Pacific Ocean to Los Cabos before turning back up the Sea of Cortez.

Ensenada, meanwhile, is the first See SOUTH OF THE BORDER page 21

See Food Diet: Culinary Treats in Baja California Dining destinations are aplenty at Mexico’s two westernmost states. Seafood and libations are top themes on Baja peninsula.

BAJA CALIFORNIA — Most people who travel the world recreationally would likely tell you the one thing they look forward to in their respective travels is the local cuisine. Any venture into Mexico’s Baja California will certainly yield a fair amount of culinary options to choose from, be it street fare in San Felipe, wineries in Ensenada, bar food at the beach in Cabo San Lucas or lobster tacos in Ensenada.

The close proximity of sportfishing to Ensenada, Cabo San Lucas, San Jose Del Cabo, La Paz, Loreto and San Felipe means there is no shortage of seafood at any given restaurant up and down the Baja peninsula. But you’d be mistaken if you thought seafood is all you’d find here. It isn’t hard to find Chinese, Italian, Japanese or good ol’ fashioned American food on the Malecón (or anywhere else in your chosen city).

Here are a few general dining themes you can expect to find at Baja California’s boating destinations.

Choices are aplenty regardless of the city you visit.

Ensenada A visit to Ensenada means you’ll enjoy one of two types of culinary experiences: freshly caught seafood along the city’s waterfront or a perfectly pared meal at one of Guadalupe Valley’s wineries.

Shrimp or fish tacos are popular dishes to order at many of Ensenada’s restaurants. You’ll also find a selection of dishes featuring lobster, mussels or tuna. La Manzanilla and La Embotelladora are among the top recommendations for seafood dining.

Those seeking the perfect place for libations should check out Hussong’s, the oldest cantina in Ensenada. The margarita was invented at Hussong’s in 1941.

Cabo San Lucas Shellfish and chocolate clams are the delicatessens of Cabo San Lucas, where dining with a view of the ocean is the norm. Also popular are smoked marlin, fish tacos, tamales and a dish called “comida de pobres” (or food of the poor). Comida de pobres is seafood soup made with rice and beans and served with tortillas.

Cabo San Lucas does have on drinking tradition: meals are generally pared with Clamato (clams and tomato juice).

Places to visit in Cabo San Lucas include Edith’s, Maria Jimenez Restaurante, El Farallon, Hacienda Cocina y Cantina. La Patrona and La Chatita.

Tuna steaks, lobster tacos and other seafood creations are on the menu at La Paz’s Bismark-cito. Top-flight culinary experiences are also available in Cabo San Lucas, Ensenada, Loreto and San Jose Del Cabo.

San Jose Del Cabo

Loreto

Farm-to-table and ocean-to-table are both major highlights of eats in San Jose Del Cabo. Seafood is as popular here in San Jose Del Cabo as it is anywhere else on the Baja peninsula, but this southeastern cape city is one of the few to boast farm-fresh dining.

You’ll also find street tacos and everyday Mexican fare in town, as well.

Check out Acre Baja, Villa Valentina, Casa Natalia, Café Des Artistes Los Cabos, Vela or Blue Fish when visiting San Jose Del Cabo.

The tiny beach town of Loreto has a lot to offer with such a small area. Most of the restaurants you’ll find in town are within walking distance of each other.

You’ll find Uruguayan food at Mezzaluna, grilled and local fare

at Firehouse Grill, Japanese eats at La Terraza Sushi Bar and pizza at Pepegina’s. All of these restaurants are in the heart of Loreto and a short walk to the city’s Malecón.

Resorts such as Villa del Palmar have their own choices of poolside, buffet or fine dining on-site.

La Paz Baja California Sur’s capitol city is a place where you can find it all: five-star dining, tuna steaks, lobster tacos, Mexican-style sushi, pasta and burgers served from a grill built inside the engine block of a classic American truck.

One of the best seafood restaurants in all of Baja California is Bismark and Bismark-cito (located on the Malecón).

Both restaurants are known for serving fresh seafood. Bismark-cito is right on the water, so diners will have the feel of eating their dishes directly from the Sea of Cortez. The taco salsa bar here is firstrate and perfectly complements your lobster, shrimp or fish tacos. It’s quite easy to eat six to eight tacos before you realize how many you’ve eaten.

A short drive or boat ride from the Malecón is Marina CostaBaja, where you will find Steinbeck’s (named after the acclaimed author of “The Grapes of Wrath” and other novels). Here you’ll find the perfect wine to pare with your steak or other high-end meal.

Also be sure to check out The Three Virgins, El Toro Hueros, Mesquite Grill, Palermo’s Steakhouse, Rancho Viejo and Moe’s.

The tiny city on Baja California Sur’s Sea of Cortez coast boasts adventures for anglers and boaters alike.

By Parimal M. Rohit

LORETO, Baja California Sur — Big things sometimes come in small packages, they say. We’re not quite sure who qualifies as “they” are, but, perhaps, they were thinking of places such as Loreto when juxtaposing package size and derived experiences.

The city of Loreto has fewer than 20,000 residents. There are as many signal lights in town (one) as daily flights from Los Angeles International Airport. It’s not uncommon to find bighorn sheep strolling along the highway just south of town limits (and en route to one of the two major resorts nearby).

Good luck finding a McDonald’s or Walmart anywhere in town, as we stated in a 2016 story about Loreto.

Loreto, all the while, has much to offer any angler or boater who takes the time to venture into the one-time capitol city of the Las Californias province (1768-1777). Local resorts, marina operators and city leaders have been angling to make Loreto a prime destination for sportfishing. Puerto Escondido Marina, about 20 minutes south of town via automobile, has been one of the parties leading the charge of crafting Loreto as the place to originate fishing jaunts.

Just beyond the marina’s reach is the Sea of Cortez, home to a broad range of fish species. It’s not uncommon to find amberjack, Dorado, grouper, marlin, roosterfish, sailfish, sea bass, sierra, skipjack, snapper and tuna.

Puerto Escondido and Marina Bahia Loreto are the two primary places to launch, either aboard your on boat or on a charter. Those who head out onto the Sea of Cortez should have the most up-to-date charts or a local on-board, in order to know the best places to drop lines and target species.

Those coming to Loreto to experience the simple pleasures of boating can also take advantage of dropping anchor or docking at the two marinas mentioned above. Boating, kayaking and standup paddleboarding are Loreto’s Villa Del Parmar resort offers a private beach with scenic views of the Sea of Cortez.

A quick guide to visiting Baja California’s largest city, Ensenada ENSENADA — Sharks, chocolate and even the cantina that invented the first margarita, the alcoholic beverage that epitomizes relaxation – all of these things meet in beautiful Ensenada, Mexico. Just about anyone can find something to do in this destination, which hails quite a bit of cruise ship tourism.

Boaters, however, will find Ensenada is a great location to moor and offers much in the way of on-water activities and otherwise. Not to mention, Ensenada is not far from the border, so it is typically a great short excursion from San Diego.

In the United States, there is Old Faithful, but in Ensenada you can view La Bufadora, the second-largest marine geyser in the world. The legend associated with La Bufadora says a large gray whale was separated from its pod and got wedged between the rocks. As the struggling whale cried for help, it launched jets of water into the air to find its friends. Eventually, it is said, the whale became one with the rocks permanently fixing La Bufadora into Ensenada’s cliffs forever.

For those who love to take a risk or would like to go on the ultimate diving adventure, Guadalupe Island’s shark cage diving experience is

Los Cabos is a beachgoer’s dream come true but is it a dangerous vacationing spot?

By Devon Warren

(they contribute to the number one killer – heart disease), many humans are afraid of shark attacks. Though tourists do become embroiled in the crime that happens in Mexico, it is not common.

Dorado, marlin, roosterfish, tuna and yellowfish are among the prime catches along the Mexico’s Sea of Cortez and northwest Pacific coast.

By Parimal M. Rohit

BAJA CALIFORNIA — One of the many advantages of living in Southern California is our close proximity to Mexico, where anglers flock to drop lines and interact with one of the most diverse marine life populations in the world. Dorado, marlin, roosterfish, sailfish, tuna, wahoo and yellowtail are among the bites to be had in what Mexico’s tourism folks describe as world’s aquarium.

That aquarium would definitely be found in the Sea of Cortez, where the inside of Baja California’s peninsula protects the waterway from rough fishing conditions. Cities like La Paz and Loreto have positioned themselves as ideal destinations for fishing charters and expeditions. Great fishing trips are also to be had at Ensenada and Los Cabos, particularly if you’re looking for Pacific Ocean bites.

Here’s a broad look at what you can expect should you have the itch to drop a line or two or more south of the border.

Ensenada (Bahia de Todos los Santos) Deep sea fishing off the Ensenada coast ranges from winter bottom fishing to summer surface action.

Ensenada is also a great jump off point for local island bites – specifically at Los Coronado (or Islas Coronado) – or long-range catches.

Recent fish counts out of Sergio Sportfishing in Ensenada show barracuda, rockfish, sand bass and yellowfin tuna as popular bites. Also found on recent fish counts are salmon grouper, rock cod, calico bass and whitefish.

Also out of the shores just west of the Guadalupe Valley is Ensenada Sportfishing. Barracuda, bonito, calico bass, Dorado, lingcod, red snapper, rock cod, sheephead, skipjack, whitefish, yellowfin and yellowtail were all caught on recent expeditions out of Ensenada Sportfishing.

Dorado, bonito, barracuda, albacore, bass, marlin and tuna (bluefin and yellowfin) are all ideal spring and summer bites, while cod and other deep sea fish are likely to be at the end of your line during the winter months.

Nearby Punta Banta is great for deep sea fishing, while some islands in or near Bahia de Todos los Santos have solid bites of cod and mackerel.

Cabo San Lucas and East Cape The southernmost point of the Baja California Peninsula is home to one of the biggest marlin tournaments in the world. Marlin, of course, isn’t the

only bite to be had here. Other popular bites are mahi mahi, snapper, tuna and wahoo.

A recent fishing report from Picante Sportfishing out of Cabo San Lucas showed anglers catching 35 Dorados, five blue marlin, four striped marlin, four sailfish, four skipjack, three tunas, two wahoo and one shark over an 18-day stretch in late There are plenty of fish in the Sea of Cortez, which makes Baja California a major draw for anglers. Here, two anglers are fishing just off summer. the Loreto coast.

Fly-fishing for billfish is also a thing in Cabo San Lucas. Local charters offer trips just the added bonus of calmer waters off before first light.

The most popular bites in La Paz are Dorado (June through August), striped marlin (May through September), roosterfish (June through September) and yellowfin (July through September).

Cabrilla, grouper, Pacific jack cravelle, blue marlin, sailfish and wahoo are also good bites at various portions of the year.

Legislature updates Dungeness crab fishery provisions Department of Fish and Wildlife photo

SB 1310, signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, would delete obsolete provisions and clarify definitions.

By Parimal M. Rohit

Administrative changes were made to the Dungeness crab fishery. Changes include the deletion of obsolete provisions and updates on various definitions.

“Amendments [to this proposal] remove provisions related to the Dungeness crab gear retrieval program, clarify the terms of the annual $150,000 appropriation to support the task force, and make technical and clarifying changes,” a State Senate analysis of SB 1310 stated.

Vessel permits would be issued via renewal or transfer of an existing permit, under the new law; new and original vessel permits will no longer be issued.

The new law also updates how a vessel’s length overall, or LOA, is determined.

TIGHT LINES — By Parimal M. Rohit

NOAA opens public comment period for 2019-2020 groundfish harvest and management WASHINGTON, D.C. — Federal officials are seeking to enact a final rule for harvest specifications and management measures of the 2019-2020 groundfish season. Public comment on the proposed final rule will be accepted through Oct. 19.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, introduced the proposed final rule in hopes of limiting the groundfish catch to harvest specifications, helping the species rebuild its population.

Yelloweye rockfish and cowcod are the two overfished species covered under the proposed final rule. The yelloweye rockfish fishery’s rebuilding plan, according to NOAA, reflects its improving stock rebuild outlook and “changes to the needs of fishing communities.”

The cowcod species, however,“continues to have a positive rebuilding outlook, and no changes to its rebuilding plan are proposed,” NOAA stated in its proposed final rule.

“The proposed measures are intended to help prevent overfishing, rebuild overfished stocks, achieve optimum yield, and ensure that management measures are based on the best scientific information available,” NOAA’s proposed final rule stated.

Federal officials hope the proposed final rule would establish harvest specifications through overfishing limits, acceptable biological catches and annual catch limits. Another provision of the proposed final rule aims to establish management measures “to keep fishing mortality with the [annual catch limits].”

NOAA hopes the cowcod and yelloweye rockfish fisheries achieve rebuilt status, similar to three other recently rebuilt stocks.

“Three stocks have been declared rebuilt [since 2017-18]: Darkblotched rockfish, bocaccio rockfish (bocaccio) and Pacific ocean perch,” NOAA’s proposed final rule stated.“The harvest control rules for these stocks revert back to those established prior to the stock being declared overfished.”

Craving Fresh Tuna

By Parimal M. Rohit SAN DIEGO — Angler Szu Pei Lu-Yang had a craving for fresh tuna, so she ditched the L.A. suburbs and drove down to San Diego, where she hopped aboard Relentless and spent the day fishing for bluefin. A few bit, thankfully, and Lu had her fresh tuna. She called the jaunt her “best fishing trip ever!” Relentless has had its fair share of tune during its September jaunts. An overnight trip with 18 anglers on Sept.

18 returned with 17 yellowfin and 16 skipjack.

The three-day Relentless with 15 anglers caught 91 yellowfin, two bluefin and one bigeye (Sept.

14). Relentless was also on an overnight trip, Sept. 11, and the 17 anglers aboard returned with 85 skipjack and 37 yellowfin.

SACRAMENTO — A proposal to delete several obsolete provisions of the Dungeness crab fishery, update various definitions and funding for task force support, among other things, was signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, Sept. 21.

Senate Bill 1310 (SB 1310) was mostly a cleanup proposal, recommending administrative changes to the management of the Dungeness crab fishery and implementing directions by the Dungeness Crab Task Force. State Sen. Mike McGuire, D-Healdsburg, introduced the bill earlier this year.

A budget appropriation of $150,000 will also be available to support the Dungeness Crab Task Force.

The composition of the task force has also been updated under the new law. Those sitting on the Dungeness Crab Task Force would represented the University of California Sea Grant, sportfishing interests and commercial fishing interests. Alternates would also be appointed to the task force.

The sportfishing representatives would not have voting privileges.The opening of waters for Dungeness crab season could be delayed if state officials determine there is a public health risk.

Implementing the elements of SB 1310 would cost an estimated $1.1 million, annually.

SB 1310 was approved in the Assembly by an 80-0 vote on Aug. 30; the State Senate approved McGuire’s proposal by a 39-0 vote on Aug. 31.

Will the Modern Fish Act, if approved by federal legislators, benefit recreational boaters? The answer varies upon whom you ask. Senators, meanwhile, are expected to vote on the Modern Fish Act soon.

Smooches – Maricile Hocevar kissed the two-pound rock fish she caught on a recent trip.

U.S. Senate expected to vote on Modern Fish Act soon Debate continues, however, of whether legislative update would truly benefit commercial and recreational fisheries.

By Parimal M. Rohit WASHINGTON, D.C. — The possible selection of Brett Kavanaugh on the U.S. Supreme Court might be stealing all of the headlines in our nation’s capital, but whether the federal judge fills the seat vacated by Justice Anthony Kennedy is not the only item on the Senate’s docket. Senators are expected to vote on S. 1520, also known as the Modern Fish Act, soon.

S. 1520 was placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar in early June but recent news reports indicate a vote on the Modern Fish Act, which would update various elements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, could come any day now.

Whether the Modern Fish Act would benefit recreational fishing interests has been the subject of intense debates ever since federal legislators began considering changes to the MagnusonStevens Act. Some are stating the Modern Fish Act is a necessary and positive change for the nation’s anglers.

Others have called S. 1520 a “Trojan horse.”

BoatUS, one of the organizations supporting S. 1520, called the Modern Fish Act “an important, positive change to federal laws involving saltwater fishing.”

“The Modern Fish Act … will help improve public access to America’s federal waters, promote conservation of natural marine resources, and spur economic growth by fixing key issues in the law governing marine fisheries,” a BoatUS campaign urging anglers to take action stated. “The Modern Fish Act is a comprehensive package specifically aimed at addressing the needs of the nation’s 11 million salt-

water anglers. It will improve management of fish stock, give better access to America’s federal waters, and promote conservation of our shared natural marine resources.”

Anglers Journal TV host John Brownlee penned an op-ed in favor of the Modern Fish Act for Florida Business Daily. Brownlee said the Modern Fish Act is “commonsense” legislation.

“This legislation will improve access for millions of anglers by updating an antiquated management process,” Brownlee wrote. “The Modern Fish Act will work by improving recreational data collection, allow more collaboration between federal and state managers and anglers, review allocations of our public fisheries, and most of all, properly distinguish the activities of recreational and commercial fishing under the law.”

Kendall Dix, who identifies himself as a fisheries organizer with the Gulf Restoration Network, claimed, in a letter to Baton Rouge’s The Advocate, the Modern Fish Act would actually harm fishing interests. He also accused federal legislators of lacking transparency.

“There’s a Trojan horse outside the gates of the Senate,” Dix wrote.

“The Senate is currently under pressure to vote on S. 1520, the so-called Modern Fish Act, which would help gut the Magnuson-Stevens Act, our nation’s landmark bill that put a halt to the rampant overfishing in the 20th century.

“Many fish species collapsed in the 1980s, and now the one law that helped bring them back is under attack,” Dix continued.

The House of Representatives passed its version of the Modern Fish Act in July. The Log and FishRap News will update its coverage of the Modern Fish Act as the bill makes its way out of the legislature.

Anglers hope for a productive fall season Shutterstock.com photo

California’s Fish and Game Commission could help promote sustainable fishing practices thanks to a new law allowing the agency to grant experimental permits.

Experimental fishing permits bill signed into law Gov. Brown signs Assembly Bill 1573, which would promote sustainable fishing practices.

By Parimal M. Rohit SACRAMENTO — California Gov. Jerry Brown approved a bill allowing the state’s Fish and Game Commission and Department of Fish and Wildlife to grant experimental fishing permits. The permits would authorize commercial or recreational fishing in areas where such activities are currently prohibited.

Assembly Bill 1573 (AB 1573) is officially on the books and would update existing law to allow for experimental permits to be issued for fishing type and gear type. California law, prior to AB 1573, only granted experimental fishing permits for gear type.

“This bill would establish a new experimental fishing permit program in order to facilitate the integration of new science and fishery management tools,” a State Senate Appropriations Committee analysis of AB 1573 stated.

California law, prior to the legislative enactment and gubernatorial endorsement of AB 1573, had authorized the state’s Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) to issue permits for the take or possession of fish and other habitats for educational, propagation or scientific purposes.

State officials, according to a recent legislative analysis, were also encouraged to develop “new types of commercial fishing gear and new methods of using existing commercial fishing gear” through the experimental gear permitting process.

AB 1573, which was introduced

by Assembly member Richard Bloom (D-Santa Monica), essentially updated state law to allow DFW to use of new tools as it issues experimental gear permits.

“This bill would establish the California Fisheries Innovation Act of 2018 and provide for an experimental fishing permit program that is much more expansive than the commission’s

current authority in order to facilitate improvements in state fishery management,” a State Senate analysis of AB 1573 stated.

The Fish and Game Commission is now authorized to issue experimental fishing permits for commercial or recreational fishing activities previously prohibited by state law. The commission would also be able to establish regulations for an expeditious process for [DFW] review, public notice and comment, commission approval, and prompt department issuance of [experimental fishing permits].”

Two or fewer experimental gear permits were issued annually under California’s previous regime. The previous program, according to a State Senate analysis of AB 1573, was “limited to exploring emerging fisheries and evaluating new gear for existing fisheries.”

“Well-supervised, strategic experimentation that tests hypotheses or new management approaches, or both, and that is aligned with overarching state management goals and research priorities, would likely accelerate the development of innovative scientific and technology tools for improving state fisheries management,” language of the new law stated.

“A streamlined state Experimental Fishing Permit program would represent a significant step toward ensuring that California’s ocean management can meet the challenges of rapidly changing and unpredictable ocean conditions, and would deliver effective outcomes that protect the state’s natural resources, port communities, and coastal economies,” the law’s new language continued.

Implementation of the new experimental fishing permit policy is expected to cost $869,000 during the 2018-19 fiscal year, plus an ongoing $1.126 million expenditure afterwards. Portions of the Fish and Game Preservation Fund, DFW budget and revenues from fees would be used to cover the funds.

SAN DIEGO —October has arrived and the 2018 Southern California offshore fishing season is still going strong. Some of the most intense bites of the year happen in October, as the fish sometimes group up and go on feeding sprees ahead of impending migrations to distant – and warm – waters during our cold water winter months.

There are currently some large bluefin tuna biting off the back side of San Clemente Island. Their numbers have been down over the past couple of weeks but the bite seems to be picking up again as there was a report about a boat catching cow-sized (200+ pounds) bluefin tuna while fishing off the back side of San Clemente Island on Sept. 30.

The bluefin tuna at San Clemente Island have been biting best off the back side of the middle and the upper part of the Island in an area ranging from outside of the 57 Fathom Spot on up to where you are fishing outside of West Cove.

The bluefin bite at San Clemente Island had sagged for about a 10-day period before starting to show some signs of life again over the past weekend. Private boater Tom Golding of Last Buck gave the bluefin a try on Sept. 29 and covered a lot of places where bluefin activity had been reported during the few days prior to his trip.

San Clemente Island has also been producing some good yellowfin tuna action on Sept. 29 and 30, seeing some 20- to 75 -pound yellowfin biting from porpoise schools found in an area ranging from 1 to 5 miles off the stretch between Pyramid Head and Desperation Reef. The yellowfin were wherever you found the porpoise and they were biting jigs on the troll and were also biting while drifting with flylined sardines and small mackerel.

There are also lots of yellowfin that have been biting for boats fishing in an area between the 500 fathom curve outside of Los Coronado Islands on down to the zone between the Upper Hidden Bank and the 475 Knuckle. The best fishing has been found while working from 22 to 40 miles 165 to 180 degrees from Point Loma.

The yellowfin in this sector have been running from 8 to 30 pounds and have been biting from meter marks, sonar marks, trolling strikes, skipjack trolling strikes, spots of breaking fish, kelp paddies and porpoise schools.

Capt. Louie Zimm of Shearwater, a private boater fishing for yellowfin in the area below the Coronado Islands on Sept. 28, reported finding excellent action. He said he fished below and outside of Los Coronado Islands around the 425 Bank and scratched out an occasional yellowfin tuna. Zimm left the 425 Bank and headed for the area inside of the 101 Spot and as he was approaching the spot where his friends were drifting and catching fish he found a spot of breaking fish and shut down the boat and started chumming. The school of yellowfin immediately boiled up on the chum and the bite was on and lasted for two hours.

Zimm reported that the yellowfin were acting picky and they needed to drop down

to using 15- or 20-pound test line with fluorocarbon leaders to get bit. They ended up catching their limits of yellowfin tuna and also caught and released a few more.

The striped marlin fishing has been good at spots around the eastern part of Catalina with the hot area on Sept. 29 and 30.

Capt. Maurice Smith of Dos Hermanos reported brothers Jon and Rob Epsten had the boat up at Catalina with their families and fished for marlin on Sept. 29. Smith said Jon and Rob found some action and caught and released one marlin out of three trolling strikes while fishing the region of the Avalon Bank. Their estimate was there were 20 marlin caught and released from the Catalina area on Sept. 29. Action has been coming from trolling strikes and dropback mackerel as well as by baiting sleepers and feeders.

The marlin action in the San Diego region has been very much hit or miss and mostly scratchy. Carl Smith of Sea Trek IV had a fine day of marlin fishing on Sept. 29, catching and releasing two marlin while fishing at the lower end of the 9 Mile Bank. One of the released marlin came from a double trolling strike that produced one solid hookup. The second caught and released marlin came from a single jig strike. Smith said his brother Carl never saw a marlin other than what were raised with the jigs.

The marlin fishing in the San Diego region remains very much hit or miss, though.

With the good tuna and skipjack fishing offshore, there have been few boats fishing at Los Coronado Islands. At last report there were some good numbers of bonito, calico bass and rockfish biting along with a chance at catching a yellowtail or bluefin tuna.

Productive areas were the weather side of North Island, the Middle Grounds, the north end of South Island, the 5 Minute Kelp and the South Kelp Ridge.

September provided some excellent fishing and October could prove to be a great one. Keep your gear out and ready to go should you have the opportunity. Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!
