Coastal Armoring:

The Good, The Bad, and The Eroding?

ome policymakers have suggested coastal (or shoreline) armoring as a potential response to sea level rise. But is coastal armoring – which includes the use of seawalls – truly the best method to defend against ocean’s wrath? Could seawalls actually cause more problems for marine habitats, local beaches and inland infrastructure? P. 16

Officials release fourth statewide assessment of climate change Sea level rise, drought and warming temperatures dominate latest batch of findings. By Parimal M. Rohit

STATEWIDE — A recently released assessment on climate change painted a bleak picture of the worst that could happen if extreme environmental situations play out between now and 2100. California’s Fourth Climate Change Assessment was made available in late August and was offered to state, regional and local policymakers as a potential road map for environmental action. Three agencies – California Energy Commission, California Natural Resources Agency and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research – coordinated the released assessment. The average annual maximum daily temperature could increase by 5.6 to 8.8 degrees and up to two-thirds of Southern California’s beaches could be fully eroded by 2100, according to the assessment. A broad range of issues were covered in the assessment, such as agriculture, climate justice, development, energy, land use, public health, sea level rise, water supply and wildfires. “California is one of the most ‘climate-challenged’ regions of North

America and must actively plan and implement strategies to prepare for and adapt to extreme events and shifts in previously ‘normal’ averages,” the assessment’s introductory statements read. “Currently, temperatures are warming, heat waves are more frequent, and precipitation has become increasingly variable. California has experienced a succession of dry spells, and with warmer conditions the impacts of these droughts have increased.” Economic costs associated with the potential fallout of climate change predictions could hit tens of billions of dollars, according the assessment. Some of the costs would be associated with damage to coastal properties and infrastructure. “A new model estimates that, under mid to high sea-level rise scenarios, 31 to 67 percent of Southern California beaches may completely erode by 2100

without large-scale human interventions,” authors of the released assessment stated. Those who are on the water often are more likely to deal with algae bloom events, fishery closures and loss of kelp forests should the current marine heat wave trend continue, researchers and scientists continued. The assessment also contemplated the possible reduction of the Sierra Nevada snowpack, which could directly or indirectly affect freshwater fishing destinations, either through drought or algae bloom events. A few principles were ultimately listed within the assessment, with each goal aiming to make California as resilient as possible to forecasted environmental changes. The principles were: • Protect most vulnerable populations and communities • Prioritize natural infrastructure

solutions • Promote and prioritize integrated climate actions • Foster coordination among local and regional governments • Sustain monitoring and research to better understand/manage effects if climate change. State officials behind the assessment stated everything within the report is not comprehensive and functions as a prediction. “While the report strives to be as representative as possible, it is not a comprehensive review of the tremendous amount of research on climate change … [since] 2012,” the assessment’s authors stated. “Every attempt is made to represent uncertainty and conditions under which future climate conditions are estimated; however, the report does not include a standard methodology for conveying uncertainty.”

Deceased sailors reach “Atlantis” when laid to rest at Neptune Memorial Reef

FLORIDA — An underwater mausoleum off Miami’s coast is giving all new meaning to being buried at – or in this case under – sea. The magnificent Neptune Memorial Reef, which was modeled after The Lost City of Atlantis, is an underthe-sea city for the dead and living. The Neptune Memorial Reef is located 40 feet underwater at the coordinates N25° 42.036’, W80° 05.409’ and is the largest ever manmade reef, covering more than 16 acres of the ocean’s floor.

Letters/Online Comments Re: Docks with sea lion deterrents have been altered (Aug. 10-23 issue)

Electrocuting sea lions? I appreciate The Log for covering this story. Not only do the docks I’ve seen have illegal nails along the docks, I’ve seen spikes as well on swim steps on boats with illegal sea lion deterrents. As for the article’s photograph with the thin line along the dock edge, they used solar panels on their docks or on the side of their boats to electrocute the sea lions. In no statement does NOAA say this is allowed to electrocute the sea lions/seals. A sea lion to go in the shock by these types of methods used, as well as a swimmer could also come up to the docks edge could be electrocuted as well. What type of people would do this? They should be fined to the full extent of the law. Newport Harbor Yacht Club should not be allowed to run moorings in Newport Harbor being that they’re secured to the City of Newport Beach, which are public Waterways as well. The front page shows a boat named Second Wind with spikes on the transom of the boat with a Newport Harbor Yacht Club membership. Originally, I came to

BWnails along The Log regarding the the edges of the docks because I was kicked out of the yacht club for stating that it is wrong with they’re doing and lost my job there because the owner was a member and was afraid to lose his yacht club status. I’m being told I’ll be kicked off The Yacht Club property – “we can do what we want because we have so many lawyers here.” Unbelievable! If you’re more interested in finding out more about the health and welfare of sea lions and seals, you should visit the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach. They typically have over 70 sea lions and seals there for injuries or malnutrition that happened from the Oceanside to LA County. Eric Grandia

Effective, safe and legal sea lion deterrents I once had leased a small marina that had both seagulls and sea lions all over it. Best compliant deterrent was a battery activated sprinkler that did need to have city water available, but worked great. Turned on every two hours for one minute. Jim

Sea Lions and Boaters: Solutions for Co-Existence? An illegal measure to deter sea lions was recently discovered in Newport Beach. How can pinnipeds and humans safely live together? By Parimal M. Rohit

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — A set of floating docks armed with sea lion deterrents were the subject of two articles within The Log this summer, including a cover story in our Aug. 24-Sept. 6 issue. The deterrents were initially a set of nails used as stakes along the edges of the docks. The floating docks, located in Newport Beach Harbor, were later altered after city officials declared the use of staked nails to deter sea lions was illegal. The alteration may or may not be consistent with local or federal policy, but the larger question is how can boaters consistently co-exist with sea lions without resorting to illegal deterrents? Our previous two stories on this issue listed what sorts of deterrents were considered illegal, including sharp object and live ammunition. Boaters, no doubt, want to navigate through local waterways without crossing paths with sea lions. As cute as they might appear from afar, it is understandable to not want a sea lion to jump

aboard your vessel. The loud barks at night might prove to be a nuisance for some, just the same. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) published, in November 2015, a set of guidelines of what boaters or other private property owners should and should not do when it comes to defending against sea lions. Taking the wrong action could result in the boat or property owner defending him or herself against punishment in court. “Regardless of method or intent, the property owner or fisher may be subject to prosecution should a marine mammal be seriously injured or killed as a result of deterrence efforts for the protection of property, gear or catch. Co-existing with wildlife, of course, is a natural element of boating. Oceans, lakes and rivers are obviously homes for a wide variety of marine life and habitats. NOAA might have a list of things one cannot do with sea lions, but what are some techniques boaters and harbor professionals can implement to protect boater property without harming the local pinniped population?

FAST FACTS

Mary Gordon, oldest remaining electric boat? By Parimal M. Rohit UNITED KINGDOM — England is known for its ancient history, what with the United Kingdom nation home to the Magna Carta, Big Ben and Stonehenge. The former colonial isle is also where what is considered to be the oldest electrically powered vessel still in existence was built. Mary Gordon is probably hanging about somewhere these days, but she was built in 1898 and measured 52 feet in length. She is certainly not a SoCal Classic but Mary Gordon’s history is worth noting here in our Fast Facts section. The website, nationalhistoricships. org.uk, states Mary Gordon is “the oldest electrically powered craft still in existence.” She was commissioned before the turn of the century by the Leeds City Council and was named after Mary Gordon (the wife of the municipality’s mayor). The vessel debuted on Waterloo Lake in Leeds’

Roundhay Park in 1899 and switched hands several times afterwards until the 1970s, when Mary Gordon sank and was left abandoned at the bottom of the River Trent. A man by the name of Graham Mackereth had rescued her in the late 1970s and restoration efforts have been off and on ever since. Oakwood Church in Leeds featured a story of Mary Gordon on its website and explained the vessel as “one of the largest electric launches ever built.” “Electric powered boats, driven by large numbers of batteries, were very fashionable in the 1890s,” the Oakwood Church feature stated.“In 1914 the Mary Gordon was converted from electrical to aerial propulsion. An 8- to 10-horse power Alpha marine motor was … fitted on the rear deck complete with propeller.” Mary Gordon, by most recent accounts, was being restored by The Mary Gordon Trust, but the group’s website does not appear to have updates of any sort since 2013.

Standing Watch From page 6

Diego Union-Tribune in August 2012, complained about finding sea lion slime and slobber on or around their vessels. The substances were either difficult to clean or left behind a strong stench, the boaters continued. Oceanside City Hall appears to be proactive in addressing the harbor’s pinniped population. A page on the city’s website cautions locals of what to do if they come into contact with sea lions. “Please don’t approach these animals,” a section of the city’s website on seals and sea lions stated. “They can be very territorial and they bite! If you see one on the beach, please call the lifeguard service closest to your city. You should remain a safe distance from them at all times, and leave them alone. Keep in mind they have very sharp teeth and may bite if cornered or harassed.” Sea lions in Oceanside Harbor have been spotted on a floating dock just off of North Harbor Drive and near the city’s harbor department offices, which raises the question of whether government officials should proactively establish an area where pinnipeds can congregate, similar to the Sea Lion Center at Pier 39 in San Francisco.

Redondo Beach Harbor/King Harbor The sea lion population also became the talk of the town at Redondo Beach’s King Harbor in 2015. Redondo Beach, like Oceanside, also set up a floating

The Log • Sept. 7 - 20, 2018 • 7

dock for the local pinniped population. Tarsan Standup, a local paddleboard company, recruited volunteers and created a fundraising campaign to assist Redondo Beach’s sea lion population.

Dana Point Harbor O.C. Parks, which operates Dana Point Harbor, tried various techniques to keep sea lions off certain docks and

slips. County officials installed several air dancers on docks in 2016, hoping the marketing contraption would scare sea lions away. The air dancers became less effective over time, county officials confessed; they later looked into combining deterrent measures.

Other Measures? Barriers with rollers, snow fencing,

white netting, swim step protectors, various types of noise makers, flags, balloons, pinwheels, streamers and sprayers are among the creative deterrents approved by NOAA. Guard dogs, firearms, spear guns, harpoons, nail studded bats/poles/ clubs, hammers, tainted baits, poisons and various sharp objects are among the items prohibited by NOAA as a sea lion deterrent.

TAKE ACTION Here are a few sources to contact to develop the best action possible when it comes to co-existing with sea lions. Boaters and private property owners don’t always have to take matters into their own hands. Reach out to the following organizations and policymakers to discuss what creative measures could be implemented to allow private property to be protected without taking (potentially) harmful action against sea lions.

Division of Boating and Waterways announces a draft report will be available to the public by mid-September and the project should be completed by end of the year. By Devon Warren

EUREKA — What kind of boating facilities are needed in the state of California? The state’s Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) is currently updating its “California Boating Facilities Needs Assessment,” a comprehensive study and report of on-water facilities in the Golden State. At DBW Commission meeting in Eureka on Aug. 16, Ramona Fernandez, the division’s deputy director, stated the draft report for boating facility needs is expected to be available to the public by mid-September. California State University Sacramento was assigned the task to draft the reports; university staff has worked on similar project administrations for previous

that biologists can track which Louisiana waterways they use and can respond promptly if a manatee is injured and needs help. If people have photos or video, that is welcome. Reports can be called to the department’s 24-hour hotline at 1-800-442-2511, or emailed to Lejeune at klejeune@wlf. la.gov. Manatees are native to Florida. During the summer, they sometimes swim toward Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. Since they require warm water, those traveling to Louisiana generally begin the journey back to Florida in early fall.

World’s largest shipping firm to test cargo ship on Russian Arctic route COPENHAGEN, Denmark (LOG News Service) — Danish shipping group A.P. Moller-Maersk said on Aug. 23 it would send a cargo vessel through the Russian

assessments. Currently in their studies, staff at CSU Sacramento have completed data collection and in the process of finalizing a facility database. The project is on track to be finished by Dec. 31. This report, which includes 10 volumes, focuses on methods of obtaining date, statewide funding and future recommendations and the regions studied. The seven regions surveyed are areas that have been studied for recreational uses by DBW in Outdoor Recreation in California’s Regions 2013, and are broken into Northern California, Greater San Francisco Bay Area, Sierra, Central Valley, Central Coast, Los Angeles and Southern California. Volume three, the section on statewide funding and recommendations, is newly included. DBW Commissioner Randy Short commented he was glad to see a section added for this topic and he felt it would be helpful in the future.

Janina von Spalding, spokesperson for the world’s largest shipping company, said the new ice class container vessel, Venta Maersk, would embark on a trial journey in the Arctic route over Russia in September. “I think it is important to underline that this is a one-off trial designed to explore an unknown route for container shipping and to collect scientific data and not the launch of a new product,” von Spalding said in an email to The Associated Press. “In today’s fast-paced world, companies that want to lead must innovate,” she said, adding the trial “will offer us a unique opportunity to gain operational experience in a new area and to test vessel systems, crew capabilities and the functionality of the shore based support setup.” The Northern Sea Route could be a shorter route for journeys from East Asia to Europe than the Northwest Passage over Canada because it will likely be free of ice sooner due to climate change.

Experts say it could reduce the most commonly used East Asia-Europe route via the Suez Canal from 13,000 miles to 8,000 miles, cutting transit time by 10-15 days. Von Spalding said the ship would leave Russia’s Pacific port city of Vladivostok with a cargo of frozen fish and sail to St. Petersburg where it is expected to arrive by the end of September. The transit route was coordinated with Russian authorities after careful evaluation of ice conditions and ice breaker assistance the Copenhagen-based group said. “Currently, we do not see the Northern Sea Route as a commercial alternative to our existing network which is defined by our customers’ demand, trading patterns and population centers,” she added. - Jan M.

STATE Pacific Ocean habitat designated for critically endangered

KEEPING CALIFORNIA ON THE WATER

humpback whales SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — In a settlement with environmental groups, the Trump administration has agreed to designate critical Pacific Ocean habitat for endangered humpback whales. The suit by the Center for Biological Diversity, Turtle Island Restoration Network and Wishtoyo Foundation, a nonprofit that represents Native American tribes, was settled in federal district court in San Francisco. The National Marine Fisheries Service agreed to designate critical habitat for the animals by mid-2019 and finalize those boundaries one year later. Humpback whales face threats from getting tangled in fishing gear, oil spills and being struck by ships. Federal authorities have designated three groups of West Coast humpbacks as endangered or threatened. The groups say endangered species with protected critical habitat are twice as likely to show signs of recovery as those without it.

Anchorage is expected to be safer, efficient, sustainable and easier to access. By Catherine French VENTURA — Channel Islands National Park, part of the National Park Service (NPS), provided boaters with a sneak peek of what a new anchorage at Santa Cruz Island could look like. The NPS, on Aug. 16, announced the signing of the Record of Decision for the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the replacement of the pier at Scorpion Anchorage on East Santa Cruz Island. According to park officials, the new pier will provide safer, easier accessibility, efficient and sustainable access for all who visit this area of the island. Channel Islands National Park (and NPS) released its plan in October 2015 to completely replace the aging pier at Scorpion Anchorage on Santa Cruz Island. Receiving public input for the project was a critical phase of the process, according to a park official. “Public input always plays a big role in the development of any project in the National Park. We encourage individuals, organizations, and agencies to provide input. We assess and directly

consider all of the comments before finalizing a plan to proceed,” NPS Public Information Officer Yvonne Menard said. One of the challenges with the pier in the past has been reliable access during low tide conditions for ferryboat concessionaire, Island Packers Company, and National Park vessels. The NPS considered three alternatives for pier replacement including taking no action, replacing the pier in its existing location or replacing the pier in a different area, about 300 feet to the south of where it currently stands. It was ultimately decided to Boaters visiting Santa Cruz Island were given a sneak peek of what the new Scorpion Pier could look like.

By Devon Warren SANTA BARBARA — The value of a quality, mom-and-pop seafood restaurant can never be underestimated, especially in Santa Barbara. The Harbor Commission approved a 10-year lease unanimously with two five-year extension options for Santa Barbara Shellfish Company, a local eatery that has been operating on Stearns Wharf since 1980. The lease, which would be an extension of the 1,160-square-foot property located at 230 Stearns Wharf, was negotiated for $22,339.25 per month. Brian Bosse, waterfront business manager, who gave a presentation on the lease, stated the base rent accounts for 10 percent of the tenant’s gross receipts up to and including $1,250,000. The tenant pays its own utilities separate from the rent and would be subject for an annual rent adjustment to account for cost of living. The restaurant was praised by city staff, who mentioned the long-term tenant has been easy to work with, in

What Happened: Operators of the powerboat Cyclone announced the addition of evening runs between Avalon and Two Harbors for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Cyclone transports Catalina Island visitors from Avalon to Two Harbors within 40 minutes (versus one-plus hour between the two cities via private vehicle and about two hours by Safari Bus). The boat’s operator stated the added runs are due to a 70 percent increase in ridership. Those boarding Cyclone are provided with a narrated cruise as they navigate to Two Harbors, where they can pursue various activities such as hiking, camping or kayaking.

Discussions on sea level rise policy postponed What Happened: Two agencies postponed planned discussions on sea level rise policy. Members of the California Coastal Commission and Port of San Diego were slated to discuss the hot button environmental issue at their respective August meetings, but both agencies will instead

revisit the guidance chat at a later time. Coastal Commission members planned to receive a briefing on Aug. 9, with the Ocean Protection Council scheduled to present new scientific information and recommendations about sea level rise. The Aug. 9 agenda item was postponed. Staff with the Port of San Diego intended to give the district’s Board of Port Commissioners a presentation of its sea level rise vulnerability assessment. However it was determined board action on the agenda item, according to port

What’s On Tap: It’s unclear when the Coastal Commission will revisit its sea level rise policy guidance discussion. The Port of San Diego’s board will also revisit its discussion on the sea level rise vulnerability assessment at some point in the future. “It is anticipated that a Board discussion of related adaptation related goals and strategies will be scheduled for a future date in association with the release of the Draft Port Master Plan Update and accompanying Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Report,” port district staff stated.

Santa Barbara Harbor Department prepares to take on “biggest, most disruptive project” to replace four underground fuel tanks by 2025. By Devon Warren

SANTA BARBARA — For several years, McCormix, Inc., the operators of the four fuel tanks located in close proximity to Stearns Wharf, have tried everything to avoid the disruptive construction that will be taking place in the next few years. However, the time has come where the work needed on the tanks can no longer be ignored by county agencies Environmental Health Services Department and Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA). Karl Treiberg, Santa Barbara’s waterfront facilities manager, gave a presentation on the pending construction that will be coming to the harbor in the next few years. Currently, the project is still in the planning stages. The four single-wall tanks will be replaced with double-wall tanks for health and safety

purposes by 2025. A construction work plan by McCormix Inc. began in 2016. The four tanks, designed to hold 12,000 gallons of fuel, were originally placed in 1983 near building 117 and 125. To deter completely replacing the tanks, McCormix Inc. previously presented several alternatives to CUPA including installing new tanks in other locations, abandoning existing tanks and installing new tanks. CUPA deemed all these options infeasible, according to the presentation by Treiberg. Treiberg said at the meeting: “This project will be quite disruptive” and it may be “the biggest, most disruptive project” that has taken place in Santa Barbara’s harbor in recent years. Preliminary work would need to be completed prior to installation, including planning and permitting, shoring and dewatering, removal of existing underground fuel tanks and soil management. Construction is predicted to begin in around two years and take three to four months to complete. McCormix Inc. estimated the cost as being between $600,000 and $800,000 and reported that grant funding was nominal. Commissioner Bill Spicer was concerned whether the project could take place during the winter in the harbor’s low season. Treiberg stated while staff would work to complete this project during the winter, there could be possibilities it would have to be done during the summertime. Sea level has also been a concern for the city, as well as the state. The life expectancy of the new tanks is shorter than concerns of upgrades for sea level. Further, Treiberg clarified when construction does begin, boaters will have access to temporary fuel supplies via trucks while the storage tanks are being replaced and fuel docks are not accessible.

A contract to resurface a local fishing pier was approved by the Venture Port District’s Board of Port Commissioners on Aug. 22.

Contract awarded for pier deck resurfacing Ventura Port District’s board members authorize nearly $500,000 for fishing pier update. By Parimal M. Rohit VENTURA — The Ventura Port District’s Board of Port Commissioners awarded a contract to Garland Co. to complete the deck resurfacing of the local fish pier, Aug. 22. Board members specifically approved a contract for $499,950. The total Ventura Pier project cost will be $575,000, thanks to a 10 percent contract award contingency and an additional $25,000 allocated for a consulting agreement. Updating the pier’s deck would extend its useful life, according to port district staff. “The scope of work includes the removal of the existing overlay and approximately one inch of the existing concrete from the entire 13,000 [square feet] of deck surface. A four layer waterproofing membrane would then be applied,” port district staff stated in a report to board members. “The work has a cost of $38.45 per [square foot]

and Garland would guarantee the product for five years.” Limited work was performed on the pier’s deck in 2013 and 2014. Port district staff stated Garland Co.’s bid is “cost efficient” and addresses a broader scope of work. Garland Co. is expected to do its work in two phases. Ventura Pier was built in 1872 and was once key infrastructure for the region’s agricultural, construction and oil trade industries. It is now a popular destination for pier fishers and visitors. Common catches from the pier include the Pacific thresher shark, Pacific mackerel, calico bass, croaker, barred perch and corbina, among others. The pier’s original length was 1,200 feet and reached 1,958 feet at its peak in 1938; it measures 1,600 feet now. Water depth at pier’s end is measured at 23 feet. Ventura Pier was reconstructed six times in its history: 1878, 1928, 1936, 1938, 1993 and 2000. The pier, when first built, cost $45,000 and was completed within five months (compared to a $2.2 million budget for the 2000 rebuild). It was primarily used as a commercial wharf between 1872 and 1914. Cattle, citrus, crude oil, lima beans, pigs, seaweed and wheat were the chief products shipped from the pier. Cargo has not been unloaded onto the pier since 1940. Beach erosion, fires, ships and storm waves are common enemies of the pier. Fires and storms, for example, wholly or partially destroyed the pier in 1977, 1926, 1935, 1937, 1949, 1969, 1983 and 1987. Ventura County Boat Club and the Sea Scouts formerly had a presence on Ventura Pier. The pier was also home to restaurants such as Seaview Café and Eric Ericsson’s Fish Co. There are more than 100 ocean piers between Crescent City and Imperial Beach. The next Board of Port Commissioners meeting is set for Sept. 12.

Should larger vessels pay higher costs to moor in Newport Beach’s water? This topic has endured over the years.

Superyachts in Orange County’s waters Newport Beach Harbor Department staff continues discussion on large vessels and possibly charging a large vessel mooring fee. By Devon Warren

NEWPORT BEACH—“You want this place looking like Monte Carlo, don’t you?” stated one commenter at a recent Newport Beach Harbor Commission meeting in early August. This remark was sparked during an agenda item about rents and fees for Marina Park that had turned toward large mooring vessels and the pros and cons of increasing the permit fee. Flashy vehicles (like Lamborghinis), fine dining and expensive, world-class yachts (like Invictus) have undoubtedly marked Newport Beach as an expensive, luxury destination in Orange County. With Rolls Royce and Porsche jumping on the bandwagon to build million-dollar vessels (some measuring larger than 100 feet), a handful of boat owners will be attracted to the incredible amenities, design and innovation. Others might reject the idea as gaudy, elitist and unnecessary. Newport Beach Harbor has long hoped to increase the visitations of large vessels measuring 75 feet or larger. However, as a relatively small harbor the conversation on exactly how to fit these large vessels, some measuring up to 200 feet, is still being considered.

Superyacht controversy In a previous issue, The Log announced the return of Invictus to Newport Beach Harbor. Carol Jacobs, assistant city manager, told The Log that Newport Beach welcomed the larger vessels. The same kind of answers came from Mayor Marshall Duffield during an interview earlier in the year. Mike Glenn’s Save Newport announced the arrival of Invictus in a

blog post dating back to Aug. 1, 2016. Glenn stated: “This special permit for Invictus is contentious with Lido Isle residents. Some like the boat and would like to see her more often. Others are upset that it blocks the view which they paid a premium for, and they are concerned that it will lead to other large view-blocking yachts to join in. Yachts of this size are also known for their parties, which Lido Island is especially sensitive to.” Four of the five comments left on the post were in favor of megayachts like Invictus coming into Newport Harbor for a visit. Many residents of Newport Beach seem captivated by superyachts and seem to enjoy the luxury vessels visiting their waters, which is in line with a city vision of welcoming more like Invictus.

To fee or not to fee? The topic of increasing large vessel mooring fees has long been a subject for Newport Beach city staff, but there is also the conflict of inflating the fees too high. A presentation was given by city staff with proposed rent and fees for Marina Park and Harbor, which led the discussion to largely focus around megayachts. Data was taken from marinas located mostly on the Central California coastline. After conducting research, staff recommended proposing a permit for large vessels (80 feet or larger) for $64. Most commissioners seemed opposed to the notion, citing that this could deter large vessel owners from docking. Newport Beach Harbor Commission member Paul Blank stated he hoped to keep a “visitor friendly harbor.” Comissioner Ira Beer pointed out during the presentation that Teller Point, a location near Monterey, only allowed 45-foot vessels to moor, so he did not think this location was accurate to appraise the mooring fees for larger vessels. For the last few years, this topic has been highly debated. Expect the topic to continue moving forward as fees are still being fleshed out.

U.S. Senate committee holds hearing on algae blooms WASHINGTON, D.C. — Dangerous algae blooms in Florida was the center of a legislative discussion in the nation’s capitol on Aug. 28, as members of the U.S. Senate’s Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee held a hearing on the environmental phenomenon. Algae bloom has reportedly hit Florida hard this summer. The National Marine Manufacturers Association, or NMMA, reported the state “is currently facing an unprecedented algae event.” The phenomenon, of course, is not limited to Florida. California has regularly experienced algae bloom events, both along its coast and at inland waterways. Diamond Valley Lake in Riverside

Algae bloom events are becoming more frequent and have a direct effect on recreational boating, NMMA officials said after a U.S. Senate hearing on the environmental phenomenon.

County, for example, just re-opened its marina and waterway after dealing with an algae bloom event. The prospect of algae bloom was

also an issue at Channel Island Harbor in Oxnard this summer, as Ventura County officials are still monitoring the water there for discoloration issues.

“A number of other states are experiencing harmful algae blooms and the problem continues to grow,” an NMMA report on the Aug. 28 U.S. Senate committee hearing stated. “The negative impact that toxic algae blooms have on the recreational boating community and marine businesses was mentioned by several witnesses and senators. Potential legislation that would assist in funding, research, and efforts to combat harmful algae blooms were also discussed during the hearing.” An algae bloom event occurs whenever water temperatures become so warm as to create lower dissolved oxygen. Water is unlikely to hold any available oxygen in such circumstances, which makes it unhealthy for consumption and unsafe for marine life.

Federal restrictions will apply to species caught with gillnets deployed in vaquita range. By Parimal M. Rohit

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Fish and fish products caught in Mexico with gillnets deployed in range of the dwindling vaquita habitat won’t be allowed to enter the United States, thanks to a restrictive ban implemented by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA. The seafood import restriction was announced on Aug. 28. Fisheries seeking to bring chano, curving, shrimp and sierra fish (or related products) from Mexico must be accompanied with a certificate of admissibility. The certificate verifies the imported seafood catches were not caught with gillnets within the vaquita habitat’s range or originated from beyond the Upper Gulf of California. The ban officially began on Aug. 24 and remains in place indefinitely.

“Importation into the United States from Mexico of fish and fish products harvested by gillnets in the upper Gulf of California (UGC) within the vaquita’s geographic range is now prohibited,” the Aug. 28 Federal Notice announcing the restrictive ban stated. “These import restrictions are being implemented as required by a court order. These trade restrictions remain in effect until further court action amends the preliminary injunction.” Three organizations – Natural Resources Defense Council, Center for Biological Diversity and Animal Welfare Institute – sued the federal government in 2017, alleging the latter allowed the vaquita porpoise to become an endangered species by failing to enforce basic elements of the Marine Mammal Protection Act, or MMPA. The Court of International Trade, a few weeks ago, issued a temporary injunction to “ban the importation of all fish and fish products from Mexican commercial fisheries that use gillnets within the vaquita’s range.” The injunction is still “pending final adjudication of the merits,” according

Taking a stroll down Oceanside Pier

OCEANSIDE — Oceanside Historical Society contributed this photo, which was likely taken in 1908. Kristi Hawthorne, president of Oceanside Historical Society, told The Log: “We have no idea who is in this photograph, but it was probably taken in or around 1908 because if you’re able to look very close there are light poles on the right side of the pier. The pier was not lighted until 1908. This pier was built in 1903.” According to Hawthorne, Oceanside’s third pier was built in 1903 using steel railway rails purchased from Southern California Railway Co. and measured nearly 1,300 feet. Oceanside Electric Co. offered to light the pier free

for one year in 1908 if the city agreed to pay for the necessary wiring. This pier was replaced in 1927, marking Oceanside’s fourth pier reconstruction. - Devon Warren

Dredging in Oceanside, after delays, will finally commence

entrance channel was at a depth of 16 feet.” The Army Corps further stated safety is the “number one priority.” Harbor Division Manager Ted Schiafone also told The Log on Aug. 29 in an email correspondence, that the Army Corps solidified plans to dredge Oceanside Harbor after meeting with harbor staff. “Yesterday [Aug. 28] we met with Colonel Aaron C. Barta, Commander and District Engineer for the Army Corp and David M. Van Dorpe, Deputy District Engineer,” Schiafone stated. “They confirmed that Mason will dredge the Oceanside Harbor Channel in late September/early October. This dredge will cost $3.5 million dollars. They expect to dredge approximately 180,000 cubic yards of material and open the channel to 22-foot in depth. This clean material will be placed on Oceanside beaches. We expect to see Manson begin mobiliza-

tion of pipe and equipment soon after the Harbor Days event that takes place on September 15 and 16.” In addition, Schiafone said during the meeting the Army Corps plans for a three- to four-year contract, of which they will seek bids in February 2019. “The first dredge of this contract is expected to occur in April/May of 2019,” Schiafone said. “Based on the amount of funding available, including contributed funds from the city of Oceanside, the Army Corp could dredge up to approximately 400,000 cubic yards of clean material and place it on Oceanside beaches.” Though some city staff had previously expressed annoyance with the Army Corps’ handling of the dredging assignment, Schiafone felt differently. “I am very pleased the Army Corp has acted quickly to resolve this issue,” he said. “We look forward to seeing them next spring at Oceanside Harbor.”

OCEANSIDE — Dena M. O’Dell, the deputy chief of public affairs for Los Angeles District of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, sent a statement to The Log on Friday, Aug. 24 announcing the federal agency’s intention to begin dredging operations at Oceanside Harbor in fall. In the statement, it was revealed Mason Construction will be the contractor and the amount for the estimated dredging would be about $3.5 million. Dredging in Oceanside Harbor is an annual project but has been delayed since May 2018. The statement read: “The Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District plans to dredge Oceanside Harbor this fall.” According to the Army Corps, the presence of the endangered bird species the California least tern is present in the area through September. Protecting the species, which is affected by dredging, could have been part of the reason to delay action. The statement continued: “Survey crews have been monitoring the harbor’s entrance channel on a periodic basis to ensure sufficient depth for safe navigation. Results from a July 30 survey indicated a significant amount of shoaling around the south jetty tip, and the western portion of the

Coastal Armoring: The Good, The Bad, and The Eroding?

By Parimal M. Rohit SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — Policymakers, nonprofit organizations, private businesses, academics, scientists and interested individuals up and down the California coast have been engaged in a nonstop series of talks on climate change and sea level rise. Failure to take action now, many argue, could result in frequent flooding events or higher sea levels, directly affecting homes, harbors and other key infrastructure located on or close to the coast. Some methods to defend against phenomena such as coastal flooding or sea level rise include forms of coastal armoring. What if some of the defense mechanisms to coastal flooding or sea level rise – which could negatively impact harbors and marinas – are canceled out by the negative effects of coastal armoring?

What is coastal armoring? Before diving into some of the practical applications of coastal armoring it makes sense to first explain and understand the phrase. The California Coastal Commission, as part of its Regional Cumulative Assessment Project, or ReCAP, has an entire chapter within its policy guidance publication dedicated to defining and explaining coastal (or shoreline) armoring. “The term shoreline armoring … refers to hard protective structures such as vertical seawalls, revetments, riprap … and bulkheads,” the policy guidance publication stated. A fact sheet published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) stated erosion from coastal armoring, which results in the loss of shoreline sediment, is often a strategy implemented by coastal managers and private property owners to “stabilize coastal land and protect residential and commercial infrastructure along the coast … to hold back the sea.” “Armored shorelines can prevent sandy beaches, wetlands, and other intertidal areas from moving inland as the land erodes or sea levels rise, but they also have the potential to eliminate habitat for marine organisms and beach front for the public by restricting the natural movement of sediments,” NOAA stated in its fact sheet on coastal armoring. “The key to shoreline stabilization, if it is required, is to use a site-specific stabilization method that balances the needs of the public and the needs of the natural system.”

Seawalls, such as this one in San Diego, are a common coastal armoring practice along Southern California coastline. Coastal armoring is often cited as an effective defense against sea level rise and strong wave action, but do the long-term costs outweigh the benefits?

of coastal armaments include breakwaters, jetties, ripraps, seawalls and temporary seabags.

Invasive species lished by KQED TV cited a Surfrider Foundation report stating about 86 percent (950 miles) of California coast was, as of 2003, “actively eroding. Coastal armament, the infographic hinted, was partially responsible for such erosion. A Stanford Law School report on coastal armoring in 2015 stated armored infrastructure currently occupies more than 110 miles, or roughly 10 percent, of California overall coastline. Coastal armoring is even more profound in Southern California, where such infrastructure occupies 33 percent of the coastline, according to the Stanford Law School report. “A common perception is that seawalls and revetments protect the coast. Although such armoring structures may temporarily protect property from encroachment by the sea, they accelerate erosion of existing beaches and coastal habitats in the areas where they are located, limit beach access, and impede coastal recreation,” the Stanford Law School report continued. “Scientific evidence shows that coastal armoring structures prevent coastal ecosystems from migrating inland and cut off sand supply by preventing natural erosion processes.”

Seawalls At least two areas in Southern California – Long Beach’s Naples Island and Newport Beach’s Balboa Island – are looking to rebuild aging seawalls to protect local homes from predicted sea level rise. Both communities are saturated with private boat slips and recreational vessels – be it boats, kayaks, paddleboards or otherwise. Coastal armoring, while potentially beneficial to individual properties close to the water, could have severe (and negative) repercussions to nearby marine life and infrastructure. Types

UCSB’s Marine Science Institute added the presence of invasive species would likely increase with coastal armoring, as the use of artificial structures to protect against invading waters create ideal habitats for nuisance organism. Invasive species is a thorny problem for boaters, meaning any situation allowing such organisms to exist in the vicinity of recreational vessels would prove to be a problem for boat owners. Coastal armoring could also have negative repercussions on local tourism, according to UCSB’s Marine Science Institute.

Other effects The University of California-Santa Barbara’s Marine Science Institute hosts a website dedicated to beach health and coastal armoring. The website details many of the negative costs associated with coastal armoring. Beach erosion, biodiversity reduction, habitat loss and less space for habitats to relocate inland should sea level rise become a reality. NOAA, in listing similar effects, stated armoring our shorelines could actually speed up coastal erosion and sea level rise, even though such events could naturally occur on their own. “While coastal erosion is a natural process, the rate of erosion can be greatly influenced by human activities. Natural factors that contribute to erosion include sediment supply; geologic characteristics; changes in sea level; and the effects of waves, currents, tides, and wind – all of which vary by location,” NOAA’s fact sheet on coastal armoring stated. “Human activities that can alter natural shoreline processes include beach nourishment (adding sand), dredging of ports and coastal approaches, construction of harbors

and sediment-trapping dams, and the use of shoreline armor.” Beach erosion and dredging obviously go hand-in-hand. What affects, if any, would coastal armoring have on dredging projects should the ocean defense mechanism facilitate beach erosion hear harbors?

Public policy Public policy on coastal armoring is still taking shape, of course. The topic of coastal armoring was on the California Coastal Commission’s August agenda. A private residence in Laguna Beach was permitted to build a seawall to protect it from the ocean. The Coastal Commission came down hard on the homeowner, ruling the seawall – which measured 11 feet high and 80 feet long – must be removed since it caused more harm to its surrounding environs than benefit to the residence. “The seawall … is already causing public access impacts,” Coastal Commission staff stated in a report to commissioners. “Little dry sand is left during certain times of the year, and in the two years since the reconstruction [of the private residence] began, the seawall has already trapped a quantity of sand approximately equal to 18 large dump trucks behind it, unable to erode and nourish the beach.” California ultimately regulates coastal armoring activities via the state constitution and Coastal Act of 1976. Enacted policies are implemented or enforced by the Coastal Commission or State Lands Commission. Resource protection and public access to the water drive policy decisions, according to the Stanford Law School report cited earlier. The same report recommended agencies such as the Coastal Commission take a more proactive approach in developing policies to protect sensitive habitats and public access. State and local agencies should also pursue sustainable adaptation strategies while also discouraging armoring, the Stanford Law School report stated.

SAN DIEGO — I have a confession: it’s years since Arv and I visited Catalina. Why, when it’s the most popular SoCal boating destination? We love Mexico and heed the siren’s call to Ensenada whenever possible – which means we’ve neglected cruising destinations to our north, including Catalina. Recently, in talking with friends who are Catalina regulars, we’ve decided it’s time to return to the island. Now I’m doing my research. Fortunately, whether you’re traveling from San Diego or points north, it’s an easy, straight shot from the California coast to either Avalon or the many coves around Two Harbors. Even so, make sure your electronic charts are updated and you carry paper charts as a backup, just in case of an equipment or power failure. Now that Labor Day is past, typically scarce moorings are likely to be somewhat more available around the island. Remember, moorings in Avalon are first-come, first served, and are assigned by the Harbor Department (310510-0535, Channels 12 & 16), which offers a special reduced rate from September 15 through June 15. For moorings in and around Two Harbors reserve online through Avalon – and Catalina Island in general – is a popular destination for the Catalina Southern California boaters.

Bellingham Marine to begin next phase of Marina del Rey Marina rebuild Fourth phase of seven-part construction is expected to begin this month and continue through May 2019.

MARINA DEL REY — Phase four of a seven-phased rebuild of Marina del Rey Marina is set to begin this month, according to Bellingham Marine. Construction for this phase is scheduled to continue through May 2019, according to a blog posted by Bellingham Marine staff. Bellingham Marine expects to complete the fifth, sixth and seventh phases of the marina rebuild within the next two to three years. Most of the remaining work, according to the builder, is on the marina’s south side. The project’s third phase was completed in May. “The marina wraps around a peninsula that extends into the main channel. In phase one and phase two, Bellingham worked on the north side of the peninsula, removing the old docks and installing 61 new slips ranging from 35 to 50 feet in length,” Bellingham Marine staff stated about the earlier phases.

A new phase of construction at Marina del Rey Marina is expected to begin during the final days of summer. Bellingham Marine already completed three phrases of the marina rebuild. Work on the next phase is expected to continue through May 2019.

Marina del Rey Marina was expanded out into the main channel with the most recent phase, with 48 new slips (ranging from 40 to 70 feet) added. The new infrastructure includes ne end-tie. “They put slips in where there had never been slips before,” Eric Noegel, senior manager of project development, Bellingham Marine, said. “It took a decade to get approval for this; they had to go through a special permitting process with the Army Corps of Engineers and the county.” Phase four will continue with

channel slip construction. Bellingham Marine staff stated all in-water work must be completed between September of the current year and April of the following year. The renovated Marina del Rey Marina is the first Bellingham Marine project to feature fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) thru-rods and walers. “This was the first marina in the U.S. to be completely outfitted with these composite material components, which require less maintenance and enjoy a longer service life. The FRP materials are completely preservative free, which

makes them a good choice for areas subject to bans on use of treated wood,” Bellingham Marine staff stated. Marina del Rey Marina is located at 13524 Bali Way. On-site features include carry down walkways, a convenience store, day use or picnic areas, electricity on dock, gear lockers, laundry, lodging, restaurant, restrooms, showers, snack bar, swimming area and transient berths/tie-ups. Los Angeles County and the California Coastal Commission authorized Bellingham Marine to demolish a 46-year-old, 349-slip anchorage and replace it with a new 277-slip anchorage. “The docks … are in fair to poor condition and could present a safety hazard to patrons and a potential liability to [L.A. County’s] Department [of Beaches and Harbors],” a 2011 Coastal Commission staff report stated about the condition of Marina del Rey Marina, prior to construction. “A considerable number of repairs have been made to all portions of these docks over the years. Many of the components, as well as the main walkways, are beyond structural correction. The primary areas of concern are uneven flotation, unstable fingers, deteriorating finger/walkway connections, and delaminating decks.”

Dispute over rental car fee has been resolved, allowing port district to resume with South Bay development plan. By Parimal M. Rohit SAN DIEGO — A legal stalemate between the Port of San Diego and San Diego County Regional Airport Authority has been resolved, as the two public agencies reached a settlement agreement on a previously contentious discussion about collected rental car fees. Impending work on the new Chula Vista Bayfront project was jeopardized by the stalemate; the settlement, however, means work on the Chula Vista Bayfront project will move forward as scheduled. The airport authority joined a lawsuit filed by two rental car companies; the two companies are challenging the legality of a rental car fee. Port district staff announced on Aug. 28 the airport authority will withdraw from the rental car company lawsuit in exchange for certain protections. “The airport authority agreed to withdraw from a lawsuit that was filed by two rental car companies challenging the fee, and the port agreed to several significant provisions that protect a

number of airport authority interests,” an official port district statement read. Hertz Corporation joined Enterprise Rent-A-Car filing a lawsuit about two months ago, with both companies challenging the port district’s collection of a $3.50-per-transaction fee from customers arriving at San Diego International Airport. The money was allocated to cover the cost of a parking garage at the planned Chula Vista Bayfront renovation. Both plaintiffs alleged the fee, collection of which has already begun, was illegal. The airport authority joined in on the lawsuit a few weeks ago, defending the decision as a protection of its interests. Port district leaders, falling short of expressing their vitriol, stated their displeasure of the decision. Rafael Castellanos, chair of the port district’s board, reportedly called the airport authority’s joining of the lawsuit as “short-sighted and hostile.” Exact details of the settlement were not immediately available but the port district seemed happy it would be able to move forward with the Chula Vista Bayfront redevelopment, which is expected to cost $1 billion to complete. Commissioner Ann Moore called the waterfront redevelopment at Chula Vista Harbor as “a game-changer for

economic development in South Bay.” “We have reached a resolution that addresses the funding mechanism for a parking facility that will serve the public for many years to come. I’m pleased that all parties recognize stalemate between the Port of San Diego and the San Diego County Regional the importance of AAirport Authority has been resolved, allowing the planned Chula Vista Bayfront this project, and renovation to move forward. now we can move forward without further delay,” Moore said in a released project would bring 20,000 new perstatement. manent jobs to the South Bay area and The Port of San Diego and city of infuse more than $2 billion, annually, Chula Vista have been working on a into the local economy. redevelopment of 535 acres near the The project finally gained full harbor area for at least two decades. approval by the port district and Chula Port district staff and leadership have Vista City Council in May, with initial long claimed the Chula Vista waterfront site work slated to begin as early as this was an underutilized industrial area and summer.

State water board seeks to establish new plan to regulate water quality standards in Central Orange County. By Parimal M. Rohit

NEWPORT BEACH — An open public comment period on a state plan to address water quality issues in Newport Bay officially closed on Sept. 7, allowing the State Water Resources Control Board (or State Water Board) to finalize its review on an updated Water Quality Control Plan for the Newport Bay watershed. The State Water Board specifically seeks to prevent the discharge of toxic substances into the water that would be harmful to human health and adverse to beneficial water uses. Board members will consider the plan’s amendment, with the submitted comments, at a future meeting. Newport Beach’s upper and lower bay areas, in general, are both being considered for Total Maximum Daily Load, or TMDL, restrictions. Excess nutrients flowing into Newport Bay has previously resulted in algae blooms. A TMDL was established for Newport Bay in 1998 in hopes of decreasing the amount of excess nutrients flowing into the waterway. Implementing TMDL regulations in

Newport Beach Harbor has been work in progress for several years now. A plan was announced in 2015 to reduce copper levels in the harbor area, which is frequented by anglers, boaters and personal watercraft users, by 83 percent within a 15-year period. The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board claimed copper levels in Newport Beach Harbor’s water are excessively high – particularly at the Turning Basin and local marinas. Regional board members and city officials, however, were at odds over data used to claim Newport Beach’s Lower Bay had excessively high levels of copper. Water board officials claimed nearly 36,000 pounds of copper was discharged into the harbor annually and proposed an annual TMDL mandate of 6,060 pounds. City officials responded the mandate was unreasonable and based upon inaccurate data. The Upper Newport Bay, meanwhile, functions as an estuary and nature preserve. The quieter half of the Newport Beach bay area is home to hundreds of acres of open space. Little to no boating activity occurs in the Upper Bay – its lower, southeastern edge is home to the Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort, which features a small marina. San Diego Creek feeds into the top half of Newport Beach’s largest waterway (which later feeds into the Pacific Ocean via Newport Beach Harbor/

play for recreational boaters in Marina del Rey and San Diego’s Shelter Island Basin. Regulating copper at these and other waterways has been a controversial activity. The copper regulations have forced recreational boaters to alter how they paint their boat bottoms, for example. Boat bottom paints on recreational boats have consistently been cited as a major source of copper pollution in marinas and harbor. Boaters, however, either question whether copper is truly harming local waters or provide pushback on a lack of viable alternative boat bottom paint products.

The Boycott Mexican Shrimp campaign asks you to send the strongest possible message to the Mexican government: Act now or lose the vaquita forever.

Catalina Connection By Devon Warren NEWPORT BEACH — Painters have the ability to capture the most intricate details of a place and tell its story. Catalina Island Conservancy has reached out to the nation’s most recognized plein air artists to create more than 90 special paintings for annual Catalina: The Wild Side Art Show and Sale. Each painting will illustrate the Conservancy’s efforts in conservation from habitat restoration to Trailhead, the new visitor’s center opening later in the year. The Wild Side art show, now in its eighth year, is the Conservancy’s second largest fundraising event and takes place on Sunday, Oct. 21. Plein air style focuses on painting the landscape of the great outdoors using natural lighting. Each artist spent time on the island, from Avalon to Two Harbors, to paint Catalina’s rugged terrain and exquisite wildlife. Artists who will be contributing this year will be Cindy Baron, Brian Blood, John Cosby, Don Demers, Kathleen

Dunphy, Andy Evansen, Debra Huse, Laurie Kersey, Michael Obermeyer, Colin Page and Joe Paquet. Paintings from these artists will be on display at the event, hosted by Newport Harbor Yacht Club, and will be available for purchase to aid Catalina Island Conservancy’s programs. Victoria Seaver Dean, a Conservancy board member and event chair for the event, stated in a release: “Continuing this tradition of plein air painting on the Island provides the Conservancy a unique way of documenting their restoration efforts over time. By joining us at the show, you have the opportunity to add to or start your plein air collection while knowing that the proceeds from the sales benefit not only the artist, but also the Conservancy’s conservation, education and recreation programs.” Attendees will have the chance to not only view the newest additions of plein air paintings, but will also be able to view the Conservancy’s permanent collection. This event will take place from 2:30-4 p.m. Priority viewings and

FEATURED EVENT

Did you know oil is used to make life jackets? Santa Barbara Maritime Museum delves deep into oil’s history with new exhibit SANTA BARBARA — Oil is a fairly controversial subject in California, whether you are anti-drilling or feel the industry has brought a fortune to the state. Santa Barbara Maritime Museum is holding an opening for The History of Oil in the Santa Barbara Channel Exhibit Opening on Sept. 20; the opening will give members of the general public the opportunity to learn all about how oil has affected Santa Barbara’s shores. Just one of the tidbits of information on the website states: “Few are aware that the quest for oil led to Santa Barbara being recognized worldwide at the birthplace of deep-water commercial diving.”

Santa Barbara Maritime Museum photo

By Devon Warren

A few other facts are how offshore oil platforms operate, about naturally occurring oil seepage and why the Santa Barbara oil spill of 1969 is still ranked the third worse spill in the United States. According to the website, only 19.4 gallons of oil from a 42-gallon barrel are used to produce

gasoline. Nail polish, life jackets, shampoo, toothbrushes, ballpoint pens and guitar strings are just a sampling of the products the rest of the oil is used to create. A wine and cheese reception will be offered to the public and he opening reception of this exhibit, held from 5:30-7 p.m., is free. Sponsors of the event include George H. and Olive J. Griffiths Charitable Foundation, June G. Outherwaite Charitable Trust and SOS California, Lad Handelman, Judy Rossiter and Scott Newhall. Santa Barbara Maritime Museum is located at 113 Harbor Way, Suite 190. For more information about this event, visit the website at https://bit.ly/2wlWqaj or call 805-456-8747 to RSVP.

Sharp HospiceCare raises $400,000 during 16th annual regatta Funds will support “Homes for Hospice” program in San Diego, offering unique home-like setting for patients with lifelimiting illness By Parimal M. Rohit

SAN DIEGO — The 16th annual Sharp HospiceCare Benefit Dinner and Regatta netted $400,000 from its two-day event, held Aug. 24 and 25. Coronado Yacht Club, Cortez Racing Association and Sharp HospiceCare hosted the regatta, which was co-chaired by Kathy Bongiovanni and Sherri Summers.

Top event sponsors included an anonymous donor and Horizon Oxygen and Medical Equipment, Inc. The funds will help offset unfunded patient care and supplemental patient programs, such as music therapy, healing touch and the We Honor Veterans program. The event also supports Sharp HospiceCare’s Homes for Hospice program, which offers a unique environment for patients with a life-limiting illness, to meet their needs in a comfortable home setting. “The community’s enduring support for what we do is truly humbling,” Suzi K. Johnson, vice president of Sharp HospiceCare, said. “We are honored to have the opportunity to care for our patients and their families when they

need us most. The generous donations from the Regatta help us further our mission to provide this type of specialized care to all those in the community who need it.” The festivities kicked off on Aug. 24 at Hotel del Coronado, with a pre-race dinner and silent auction attended by 550 guests, followed by the regatta on Aug. 25 at Coronado Yacht Club, where 750 guests enjoyed lunch, dinner and music. Guests also cruised along San Diego Bay aboard 40 spectator yachts for a breathtaking view of the bay and racecourse, as 53 race boats in nine classes competed in the regatta. The overall regatta winner was the sailboat A4, skippered by Scot Tempesta. The A4 crew will have the

opportunity to compete in the 2019 National Hospice Regatta Alliance. Second place overall winner was Andrew Picel on his sailboat, Arsenal. River Paquin, the 16-year-old skipper of the sailboat Elusive, won the Greg Walker Memorial Cup. The award has been given each year to a Coronado Yacht Club racer in memory of 2014 Coronado Yacht Club Commodore Greg Walker, who passed away late that year at Sharp HospiceCare’s ParkView hospice residence. Sharp HospiceCare is a not-forprofit, Medicare-certified organization, dedicated to providing comfort and compassion with end-of-life support for patients and their families.

Fishing license reform fails again

By Parimal M. Rohit

SACRAMENTO — California’s anglers will have to wait yet another year to realize fishing license reform, as state legislators failed to advance the 12-month fishing license proposal to Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk for a second time in as many years. Senate Bill 518, or SB 518, was amended to increase the cost of a 12-month fishing license bill, causing one of the proposal’s leading supporters – California Sportfishing League – to withdraw its support. State Sen. Tom Berryhill, the Republican legislator from Twain Harte who authored SB 518, ultimately withdrew the bill. The proposal, accordingly, never made it to the legislative floor for a full vote. Anglers can only buy a calen-

dar-based fishing license in California; the license expires on Dec. 31 of each year, regardless of when purchased. The license’s fee does not proportionally change according to purchase date, either. California Sportfishing League had been Sen. Tom Berryhill’s latest attempt to convert California’s sportfishing a vocal and active State licensing regime to a 12-month system failed yet again, this time because an supporter of a amendment was added to increase license fees by 30 percent. 12-month fishing license regime for anglers in the nation’s most populous “As if intended to be a poison pill, the state, so its withdrawal as a sponsor of legislature amended the bill to charge SB 518 is significant. a premium for the 12-month license “The [California Sportfishing that was 30 percent more than the cost League] has sponsored several of the current calendar-based fishing 12-month license bills, including license.” Senate Bill 518 (formerly SB 187), but Marko Mlikotin, executive director opposed charging more for a 12-month of the California Sportfishing League, license,” a press release issued by the said a 12-month fishing license regime pro-sportfishing organization stated. was “common sense” and would go

a long way in bolstering the state’s angling participation. “When the high cost of fishing is a leading contributor to declining sales, making fishing even more expensive is contrary to the advice of marketing experts and common sense,” Mlikotin said. “It is for this reason recreational anglers could no longer support Senate Bill 518. “In order to address declining sales and fishing participation rates, the solution was simple – abandon a costly and antiquated calendar-year based license for a 12-month fishing license that is valid 365-days from the date of purchase,” Mlikotin continued. “Most states that made this transition experienced greater sales and revenue than calendar-based states.” Berryhill, who spearheaded legislative efforts to reform California’s fishing license system, is retiring from Sacramento at the end of this session. Time will tell whether another legislator picks up the mantle and advocates for a 12-month fishing license regime in future legislative sessions.

Gov. Jerry Brown endorses AB 2369, which calls for stricter enforcement of fishing activities in MPAs. By Parimal M. Rohit

SACRAMENTO — Environmental groups won a major policy win on Aug. 24 when Gov. Jerry Brown signed Assembly Bill 2369 (AB 2369) into law. The new law, which was proposed earlier this year by Assembly member Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, D-San Diego, cracks down on illegal fishing activities by commercial fishing operations. Passenger fishing vessels, party boats and others who navigate into California’s Marine Protected Areas, or MPAs, and are found guilty of poaching

will, after Jan. 1, 2019, face stiffer fines and penalties. State officials hope the stiffer fines and penalties would serve as a major deterrent to illegal fishing or poaching activities in protected stretches of the California coast. Any passenger fishing vessel or party boat caught and convicted of illegal fishing or poaching would face fines of $5,000 to $40,000 and face up to one year in jail. The conviction would be classified as a misdemeanor. Violating the new law for a second time would, if convicted, result in a misdemeanor, the loss of fishing license, a fine of $10,000 to $50,000 and up to one year in jail. Commercial fishing operations would be prohibited during the investigation of the second offense; the business, for example, could not transfer the fishing license to someone else to sustain operations.

Party boats and other vessels entering into Marine Protected Areas and poach fish will face stricter penalties and fines, thanks to a bill signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown.

“AB 2369 will prevent this situation by prohibiting the transfer of a permit or commercial fishing license before resolution of pending civil, criminal or administrative action that may affect

the status of the permit,” a statement issued by Gonzalez Fletcher’s office stated. The Assembly member’s office See POACHING BILL page 35

Hoop netters may measure lobsters out of the water, but no undersize lobster may be placed in any type of receiver, kept on the person or retained in any person’s possession or under his or her direct control,” the policy continued.

Divers and hoop netters will be permitted back on (or in) the water for the 2018-19 spiny lobster season at 6 a.m. on Sept. 29. A few new regulations were implemented as of last season (including the season start time, which is no longer overnight).

added her approved proposal was necessary to preserve “the delicate coastal ecosystems of our state’s Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), established in California to protect and conserve marine life and habitat.” “This law is an important step in preserving the very delicate coastal ecosystems in California’s protected marine areas,” Gonzalez Fletcher said in a released statement. “These greedy poachers have done an enormous amount of damage, showing that the current penalties are nominal to their bottom line and they don’t seem to work. I’m pretty sure this new law’s threat of a hefty fine will get their

attention.” Gonzalez Fletcher’s bill cleared the State Senate by a 37-0 vote on Aug. 6; the proposal passed out of the Assembly on Aug. 9 by a 77-0 vote, allowing it to be presented to Brown for signature. The existence of MPAs in California, in general, has proven to be somewhat of a divisive issue, with environmental groups on side and anglers on the other. Environmental groups have, like Gonzalez Fletcher, defended MPAs as a necessary tool to preserve or improve marine habitats off the California coast. Anglers, however, argue the network of Marine Protected Areas provided them with fewer areas to drop lines.

San Diego Report

Late summer fishing still going strong SAN DIEGO — The 2018 Southern California fishing season continues to blossom during the late part of the summer as anglers have a choice of targeting good bites such as jumbo sized bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, dorado, skipjack, yellowtail, calico bass and bonito. The striped marlin bite is just fair at the moment but those exotics are around and biting as well. The highlight fishing continues to be for 50- to 300-plus-pound bluefin, which are biting off the middle part of the backside of San Clemente Island (the area of the 57 Fathom Spot on up toward Seal Cove). The bluefin fishing has been very good at times and the fish have been biting well on kite trolled Yummy Flyers, live flying fish, frozen flying fish, live mackerel and Flat Fall jigs. The White Rock area along the front side of San Clemente Island has been a zone where Skippers go to try to net some flying fish at night to use for bait for the big bluefin tuna. Private boater, Capt. Ron Bowers of Salt Fever, provided a report on Sept. 2, while on day two of a three-day Labor Day weekend trip to fish the big bluefin at San Clemente Island. On the first day of the trip they caught two of the 50-pound bluefin and one of the jumbo-sized 220-pound bluefin. Of the five bluefin hookups they experienced at the time of his report, four were on Flat Fall jigs and one was on a frozen flying fish that was fished from a helium balloon. Bowers reported that most of their action was coming while fishing to the west of the 57 Fathom Spot at around 70 miles 267 degrees from Point Loma. Private boater Tom Golding of Last Buck reported about fishing for the jumbo-sized bluefin off the backside of San Clemente

Island on Sept. 1. He said they had great success in catching a 237-pound and a 51-pound bluefin tuna. Steve Kunitake hooked the fish that weighed 237 pounds at early morning gray light while using a 250gram size glow in the dark Flat Fall jig. The 51-pound bluefin was hooked at 4:00 p.m. on a kite trolled Yummy Flyer. Bluefin and yellowfin tuna are still biting for offshore fishing trips. When will Golding said the the hot summer bite officially slow down? 237-pound bluefin was Kunitake’s largest tuna ever, with his prior best being below San Diego.

SAN PEDRO — Bluefin, yellowtail, whitefish and rockfish were the bites of the day for the 35 anglers aboard Freedom Sportfishing out of 22nd Street Landing in San Pedro on Aug. 17. At least one person, however, wondered if the summer fishing season is starting to show signs of slowing down (according to his reply a Freedom Sportfishing Facebook post with this and other photos from the Aug. 17 jaunt). “Looks like it’s slowing down,” Adam Garcia said in reply to the Aug. 17 Facebook post on Freedom Sportfishing’s page. “Hopefully it gets hot again for next week (late August).” The final fish count for the Aug. 17 fishing expedition was 110 whitefish, 50 rockfish, 12 yellowtails and seven bluefin tuna.

about 1.5 miles northeast of North Island, the Middle Grounds, the Flats inside of South Island, the 5 Minute Kelp and the South Kelp Ridge. As an example of the recent fishing, the fish counts from Sept. 2 start with Point Loma Sportfishing that had Mission Belle fishing a full-day trip with 40 anglers who caught 94 yellowtails, 55 bonito, 10 calico bass, 9 rockfish and one sheephead. Seaforth Sportfishing had a full-day trip aboard Sea Watch with 35 anglers catch 29 yellowtails, four bonito and 19 calico bass. Seaforth Sportfishing also had San Diego fishing a full-day trip with 54 anglers catching 92 yellowtails, 11 calico bass and 119 bonito. H&M Landing had Grande out on a full-day trip with 59 anglers who caught 85 yellowtails, 89 bonito and five calico bass. Fisherman’s Landing had Liberty fishing a full day trip with 58 anglers who caught 56 yellowtails, 42 bonito, nine calico bass and two barracuda. The fishing along the San Diego County coast remains very good for calico bass and there has also been a chance at getting into some flurries of action on bonito and yellowtail while fishing the Point Loma Kelp Beds and the La Jolla Kelp Beds. Yellowtails have also started to show a bit better at the kelp bed areas between Carlsbad and Solana Beach. The upper end of La Jolla has been best for yellowtail with action being reported on flylined sardines and mackerel, slow trolled sardines and mackerel as well as trolled Rapalas. No big bite on the yellows at La Jolla but over the Labor Day weekend some private boaters were reporting having caught 2 or 3 of the 12to 20-pound yellowtail during a morning or an afternoon of fishing outside of the upper end of La Jolla. Capt. Joe Cacciola of Sea Star with Sea Star Sportfishing and the Oceanside Sea Center reported they are still fishing in warm 74- to 77-degree water. Cacciola has been fishing kelp bed areas between Carlsbad and Solana Beach. The calico bass fishing improved on his most recent trip, with the easing of what had been a very strong downhill current flow and was once again very good. In addition to calico bass he said they have been catching a good number of nice sized sheephead when they fish their baits on the bottom. It is getting late in the summer season and there should still be a lot of good fishing that remains during the rest of the summer and the fall. I hope you have a chance to get out on the water and enjoy the fun fishing that the remainder of the season will have to offer! Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!

Report: Pacific bluefin tuna show signs of recovery

TIGHT LINES — By Parimal M. Rohit

Recovery plan for green sturgeon released by NOAA Fisheries

Spawning stock biomass increases from 3 percent in 2014 to 3.3 percent in 2016. By Parimal M. Rohit Thomas Dunklin photo

WEST COAST — NOAA Fisheries released a final recovery plan for the green sturgeon, an ancient fish found in Central California, on Aug. 21. The recovery plan was released under the auspice of the Endangered Species Act. Federal officials hope to guide regional and national policy on “the green sturgeon’s threatened southern population.” The green sturgeon’s Central California population is acknowledged by the Endangered Species Act as “threatened,” according to federal officials; the sturgeon’s Northern California population, conversely, is “more abundant,” according to NOAA Fisheries. “The recovery plan identifies a number of research, monitoring, and outreach actions for the southern population aimed at restoring fish passage and habitat, reducing sources of mortality, and addressing known threats including climate change, predation, and contaminants,” NOAA Fisheries staff stated. “Most recovery efforts focus on threats to freshwater and estuarine spawning and rearing habitats -- the areas that are considered the greatest impediments to recovering the species.” NOAA Fisheries staff added recovery of any species is ultimately a waiting game and “takes patience.” “Green sturgeon[s] spend most of their lives in near-shore ocean waters

off the coast of California, Oregon, and Washington. Like salmon and other sturgeon species, they are anadromous, meaning they return every few years from the ocean to freshwater rivers to spawn (unlike salmon, sturgeon don’t die after they spawn),” NOAA Fisheries staff stated. There are about 1,300 adult green sturgeons in Central California, according to NOAA Fisheries. “This southern population has declined over the last several decades due largely to both habitat loss and dams that have blocked access to their traditional spawning areas,” NOAA Fisheries staff stated.“Most spawning adult sturgeon are found in the Sacramento River. This singular concentration of spawning adults puts the southern population at greater risk of being wiped out by a single catastrophic event.”

PACIFIC OCEAN — A report posted on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center website on Aug. 10 stated the Pacific bluefin tuna is showing signs of recovery. “Although the Pacific bluefin tuna numbers continue to be low, there are signs the population is recovering and rebuilding targets set forth by international agreement are on track to be met,” the report stated. “In July 2018, The International Scientific Committee for Tuna and Tuna-Like Species in the North Pacific Ocean released the most recent assessment of Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis) and evaluated the likelihood of reaching internationally established rebuilding targets.” The assessment was based on numbers showing the bluefin spawning stock biomass was at 3.3 percent on 2016, up from 3.0 percent in 2014. Both percentages were relative to the species’ un-fished spawning stock biomass, which, according to NOAA, “is the theoretical amount of fish there would be had there never been fishing.” “The amount and rate of bluefin harvested continues to be high with

the greatest catches (and thus impact) on juveniles in the western Pacific Ocean,” the NOAA report stated. “NOAA Fisheries scientists participate in these assessments and since 2013 the agency has listed Pacific bluefin tuna as overfished and subject to overfishing.” Those watching the Pacific bluefin tuna species – with NOAA, International Scientific Committee, or otherwise – believe recent analyses show the stock biomass has a 98 percent change of reaching “rebuilt” status by 2024. “Experts [however] have not yet determined the amount of biomass that would indicate the population is recovered or rebuilt,” the NOAA report continued.
