BIZARRE

Angler hooks, reels in scuba diver off Alabama coast

By LINDSEY GLASGOW ORANGE BEACH, AL ABAMA —A scuba

diver with plenty of experience catching fish, found himself on the other side of the line, thankfully becoming the one that got away.

J.T. Thompson was diving and doing some spearfishing with a friend off the Alabama coast when he found himself hooked. The friends were diving at a wreck called The Lulu, about 17 miles off the coast of Orange Beach, on June 27, when Thompson felt something in his neck.

Thompson told news outlets he was 100 feet down and had just shot a snapper and was trying to pull the fish in when he felt a jerk and then suddenly he was being dragged to the surface. He said he grabbed it to see what it was and knew instantly what had happened.

By the time he got to the surface, Thompson said the boat and the angler had already taken off, leaving him and

his diving buddy in the dark as to who made the catch. Despite the hook going through his scuba gear, neck and hand, Thompson was not seriously injured, but told news outlets he hopes his story will remind people rules and regulations are there for a reason.

Thompson told news outlets they were the only boat in the area when they arrived. He said they put their dive flag up and two other boats arrived before they got into the water. He said the anglers told them they were going to wait and drop after Thompson and his buddy did their thing.

The Lulu, a 270-foot freighter that sank in 2013, is both a popular dive and fishing spot. Anglers use the water but at a recommended 200 feet from the dive flag.

Thompson told news outlets he can now say he knows how it feels to be on the other side of the line.

J.T. Thompson, a diver and angler, now knows what it is like on the other side of the fishing line after getting hooked on an angler’s line while diving off the coast of Alabama.

Letters/Online Comments RE: “King Harbor

Mooring Field Revenues Don’t Cover Maintenance Costs: Should it be Reduced?”

(JULY 10-23)

I believe the absence of a dinghy dock and/or any transportation from the mooring to the marina is a major deterrent for mooring use. I have a 35′ power boat I store on a trailer, would definitely use a mooring for weekends if I had a way to get to shore.

– Steve Micks Since the moorings replaced some of the last free anchorage in Southern California, getting a little of it back would be awesome. I only used it once, and maybe one day I will get to use it again as a free rest stop on my way up the coast, or to the island.

– C. Paul

RE: “Letters/Online

Comments” (JULY 10-23) We can all agree that getting out on the water is a great way to get away from the stressors of life. Most boaters get along well on the water and there are alway friendly rivalries between sailboaters and power boaters and members of different yacht clubs. I think the friendliness has crossed over a line with political candidate flags flying from boats underway and at their docks. The tranquility of the day is somehow interrupted and perhaps even broken by the political statements. At least one or more people are irritated by seeing a candidates flag they do not support and it takes the fun out of their day on the water. I have seen boats flying both parties’ candidates’ flags. Let’s keep our waterways a neutral zone to maximize the enjoyment for all.

FAST FACTS

Lake Piru: Calm but Deadly?

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT VENTURA COUNTY—Lake Piru,

a sleepy waterway nestled in the Los Padres National Forest and Topatopa Mountains (and in between Santa Clarita and Fillmore), is a destination for Southern California anglers, boaters and waders. The lake also made headlines in July after Naya Rivera, the 33-yearold actor known for her work in Glee, died there. She reportedly went for a swim and never returned to her boat.

Us Weekly quoted a Ventu-

ra County Sheriff’s deputy in explaining how Rivera, who visited Lake Piru for a boating excursion with her 4-year-old son, died. The deputy stated she could have drowned from exhaustion. She was not wearing a personal flotation device, according to authorities and news reports.

Lake Piru is no stranger to drownings. A Los Angeles Times report, published on July 16, 1997, stated a Glendale man died after he drowned “in the relative calm of Lake Piru” on July 4, 1997.

“Strong winds on Lake Piru often whip up waves that can

FLOATING BOAT CINEMA ALLEGEDLY COMING TO LOS ANGELES AND SAN DIEGO, HOW FEASIBLE IS IT? Excitement has been buzzing online after zip-tickets.com published an event advertising a “Floating Boat Cinema” in select cities in the U.S. this summer, including Los Angeles and San Diego, but questions remain.

rock a small boat enough to tip an unsteady fisherman into the water,” the Los Angeles Times report said. “The lake also holds deep columns of chilly water that can overwhelm people.”

At least one dozen deaths have been reported at Lake Piru since the 1990s.

Rivera, for the record, was aboard a pontoon boat with her son.

Lake Piru was created in 1955, when the Santa Felicia Dam was built on Piru Creek; the creek is a tributary to the Santa Clara River, which runs from Santa Clarita to Ventura/ Oxnard.

Diego. With movie theaters closed due to Covid-19, it sounds like the perfect summer event.

However, unanswered questions raise skepticism about the event’s legitimacy.

The events were published on a website called zip-tickets. com, which listed the “Floating Boat Cinema” coming to

Los Angeles, San Diego, Denver and San Francisco on Sept.

2. The event description on the website said the floating cinema will be in town for a week and feature 12 to 24 social distancing boats that hold up to eight people each. Purchasers will be required to buy tickets for the whole boat to ensure groups will be seated with friends and family only, to allow for social distancing. The boats will also be spaced more than 6 feet apart.

It also stated each movie-goer will be given free popcorn and other drinks and snacks will be available for purchase. Movies were not announced in the event listing, but the website stated they will be announced when tickets go on sale and are set to be a mix of golden oldies and new releases. Tickets are not yet for sale but the zip-tickets site has a form those interested can fill out to be alerted when they are. The event listing can be See STANDING WATCH page 11

VENTURA HARBOR UPDATE

Work to replace power pedestals at all of the older docks in the Ventura Harbor Village Marina was completed in July; work to replace the docks was completed last winter.

By LINDSEY GLASGOW VENTURA —The finishing touches have

been completed on the Ventura Harbor Village Commercial Dock Replacement Project. The contractor, Bellingham Marine Industries (BMI), completed the replacement of power pedestals at all of the older docks in the District-operated marina in July.

The crux of the project involved replacing docks C, D, G and H, which was completed last winter, with the docks beginning to accept vessels in November 2019.

In the fall of 2019, Ventura Port District decided to have 40 electrical pedestals on docks E, F and I replaced. The work was not part of the original contract and was authorized by a $119,986 change order with the contractor in December 2019.

Port District Business Operations Manager Todd Mitchell said in an

email because the project was completed with a minimum of change orders only $18,956 on a $4.3 million contract - there was sufficient budget remaining in the contract to replace power pedestals at all of the older docks. The pedestal replacement required manufacturing 40 new pedestals before installation. Port District staff said that was slowed down by the COVID-19 pandemic and the work wasn’t completed until July 3.

The final contract amount, including five change orders, totaled just under $4.5 million. The final acceptance of the project went before the Board of Commissioners on July 15.

In 2018, the Port District secured a $4.6 million loan to replace docks C, D, G and H and a contract was awarded to BMI for the work. The project replaced what the Port District called “environmentally unfriendly” foam dock floats that were deteriorating with cement docks and increased the availability of larger slips to accommodate the growing size of the seiner fishing boats.

The marina now has 103 slips, compared to 130 previously and Port District staff reported 91 percent of the slips were already assigned by the time they began accepting vessels at the renovated docks in November of last year.

The multi-million dollar project aimed to expand the harbor’s commercial fish-

Commercial fishing vessels make up a majority of the marina, with a few slips also belonging to dive boats and businesses, such as Island Packers.

Since the marina provides access to shopping and dining at Ventura Harbor Village it is also a popular recreational destination The marina offers complimentary guest docks for two hours for those looking to enjoy the shopping, dining and entertainment at the Harbor Village. The Marina‘s “C” dock” in front of Brophy Bros Restaurant & Clam

Bar, also offers paddlers in the Harbor complimentary tie up on the inside tie for visiting Harbor Village restaurants and shops. Vessels may contact Ventura Harbor Village Marina Courtesy Patrol at 805-218-4888 for complimentary day use of the Village services.

Recreational boaters can also rent out slips for a daily rate depending on availability.

The marina does not offer liveaboard slips.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

Coalition continues to campaign against resource conservation bill AB 3030, which proposes to protect 30 percent of oceans by 2030, would force fishery closures and restrict recreational fishing activities, according to a union of boating and angling groups.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT STATEWIDE —The legislative proposal

colloquially known as the 30x30 bill is drawing opposition from just about every major boating and recreational fishing organization – both in California and nationwide.

More than 100 organizations and

businesses – including BoatUS, the Sportfishing Association of California, The Fred Hall Shows, National Marine Manufacturers Association, Recreational Boaters of California, Hobie, H&M Landing, Dana Wharf Sportfishing and Whale Watching and the Coastal Conservation Association (California) – cosigned a letter to State Sen. Henry Stern on July 17, urging legislators to amend Assembly Bill 3030.

AB 3030, which was introduced earlier this year by Assembly Member Ash Kalra, D-San Jose, would require the state to protect at least 30 percent of the state’s land areas and waters, advance protection of 30 percent of the nation’s oceans, and support efforts to protect 40 percent of the world’s oceans by 2030.

The coalition of boating and angling interests, however, say the bill, if approved as currently proposed, would be

too restrictive of recreational fishing activities and could cause fisheries to be shut down.

“We remain very concerned about the broad and sweeping nature of the bill. Unless the extent and impacts of existing protections in ocean waters are expressly acknowledged in this legislation, unnecessary fishery closures will likely result, further restricting recreational angler activity,” the coalition’s letter to Stern said. “This bill reads like a resolution supporting an international framework for 30x30 protection, not a bill identifying specific threats to biodiversity or deficiencies in California’s robust environmental framework.”

Members of the coalition added their opposition to AB 3030 is effectively being dismissed by legislators who support the bill.

“Over the last few weeks we have engaged in extensive dialog with the sponsors of the measure. The conversations have been informative about the intentions of the sponsors, the purpose of the bill as they see it, and allowing for dialog over our interpretations and concerns,” the coalition’s letter stated. “Unfortunately, the sponsors have downplayed our concerns and largely rejected the most

IN MEMORIAM: Linus Ralls ORANGE—Linus Ralls passed away on July 24,

at his home in Orange, California from natural causes due to acute thrombosis.

He was one of the world’s great sailors, a loyal friend of many in all walks of life, a jokester and teller of great stories, including some that were sort of true. Any boat he was on was faster and also happier as a result of his presence. Linus could do it all on a boat: drive, trim, foredeck, tactics, first aid, cook, rigging, repairs, paint, and deliveries. He was such a good fisherman that on long races he was the one person onboard that could hook a bonito or a mahi in the ten minutes of “go slow” allotted for catching dinner.

Linus also had a knack of coming up with ingenious solutions to fix difficult problems using only the materials on board and a few items from a small repair kit he always carried. Busted vangs, traveler blow-outs, electrical or hydraulic failure, collision repair and the other sorts of things that take a boat out of a race were not going to stop a boat with Linus aboard. And for really serious problems, like sinking or dismasting, Linus was the one guy you wanted to have aboard.

Ashore Linus worked as a carpenter, master gardener, painter, boat maintenance worker and an all-around fix-it guy. He was not a conventional career type, preferring to work on his own schedule allowing him to drop everything and go off on a race, a fishing or dive trip, or a side gig he had working for a timber grower on remote Canadian islands. He loved the British Columbia coast as it combined all of his passions: fishing, boats, working hard, wilderness, wildlife, problem solving and being around people who knew, as he did, how lucky they were to be there.

Linus competed in several Transpacs and Mexico yacht races. He also appeared in countless Coastal Cups, Big Boats and prestigious buoy and offshore races in the U.S., Mexico and Canada. He raced on all kinds of boats, big and small, and they all had a habit of winning.

Linus never married and had no children. His parents and a brother predeceased him. Not particularly religious, Linus once told a skipper, “Every time I am first around the weather mark and get a clean set in clear air, I know there is a God and a Heaven.”

Farewell dear shipmate Linus. You were such a good friend to so many of us in so many ways. We know you have rounded your last mark with a good set in clear air and you entered heaven with a big lead and a smile on your face.

important amendments that we believe are necessary to move our organizations to a neutral position on the bill.

“At this point they have terminated conversations with us and are moving forward with amendments to which we have not agreed,” the later continued.

The coalition asked Stern for clarity on five items. Boating and fishing interests, for example, want to see operative language within the bill to “secure … existing recreational fishing access, unless such activities harm biodiversity.”

Legislators were also urged to include language to ensure “well-managed, sustainable recreational fishing activities with low ecological impacts [would be] compatible with the protection sought in the bill.”

The coalition also asked for clarification of vague language of existing protections the bill identified as “insufficient” and the definition of “protection.”

Any references to “international guidance” in AB 3030 should, according to the coalition’s letter, “specify biodiversity protection rather than reference to unidentified ‘objectives’ and ‘terms’ beyond or different from biodiversity protection.”

Supporting the bill are organizations such as the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). The nonprofit environ-

mental organization stated the protections offered by AB 3030 could help protect hundreds of animal species at risk of extinction.

“At least 686 animal species are at risk of extinction in California and within the next few decades, roughly two-thirds of the state’s native breeding birds could easily be lost,” NRDC staff said in a statement about AB 3030. “That’s why AB 3030 … is so important – it strikes right at the heart of our biodiversity crisis. If we want to secure healthy and vibrant ecosystems filled with thriving wildlife for future generations … we have to protect more of our lands, waters and oceans.”

The coalitions of boating and angling groups stated they, too, are in favor of protecting biodiversity – the problem they have with AB 3030 is with the way “protections” is defined and interpreted by the bill.

“The proposed language states that ‘it is the goal of the state to protect at least … 30 percent of ocean waters off the coast of California by 2030.’ No responsible angler would oppose this goal,” the coalition’s July 17 later stated. “While the goals of AB 3030 are potentially laudable, this goal has already been accomplished in See LEG UP page 9

AVALON—Avalon voters in November will vote on a revised measure proposing a tax on cross channel passengers and boaters renting harbor moorings. The special transportation tax would help fund the replacement of the Catalina Island Medical Center (CIMC).

N PE IG R H T

A petition proposing a special tax on passengers traveling to Avalon and boaters renting city moorings to help fund the replacement of the Catalina Island Medical Center garnered enough signatures to appear on the November ballot.

By LINDSEY GLASGOW

Verification of sufficient signatures for a petition entitled “Initiative Measure Imposing a Special Tax on Passengers Traveling to the City of Avalon and on the Mooring of Vessels Within the City of Avalon for the Purpose of Funding Costs Relating to the Improvement or Replacement of the Catalina Island Medical Center” was on the Aug. 4 City Council agenda. Catalina Island Medical Center Foundation Board of Directors member Shannon Hill said despite Covid-19 challenges, they were able to get enough signatures for the measure to appear on the Nov. 3 ballot.

“We were really pleasantly surprised by the support that we found in gathering the signatures,” Hill said on the phone.

The measure was written by the Catalina Island Medical Center Foundation with the help of local community leaders. If passed, it would place a fee on passengers on all cross channel carriers - ferries, cruise ships and aircrafts. It would also impose a $1 per day, per vessel visitor fee for those using harbor moorings. Due to the current economic climate, the tax wouldn’t start until 2022. The fee for cross channel traffic would be phased in, starting at 50 cents round trip in 2022, increasing to $1 round trip in 2023 and capping at $2 round trip in 2024.

“We wanted to be very careful that we weren’t trying to impose a tax on people who are really hurting right now,” Hill said.

The new measure also includes a sunset clause, stating the special tax would end in 40 years or whenever the construction costs are paid off, whichever happens sooner.

In the April 2018 election, Avalon voters defeated a similar measure, Measure T. The measure proposed a $1 round trip tax on all passengers arriving or departing from Avalon via cruise ship, ferry or aircraft.

The measure only got the support of 36 percent of voters, while 55 percent voted against the measure, according to numbers from the city.

“We definitely heard the community’s response to that ballot measure,” Hill said. “There was a lot of feedback and input given to us and some things we need to change and fix.”

Hill said they have worked with the community to address concerns from the first ballot measure, which resulted in the addition of the special tax on boaters and sunset clause.

“We also heard from the community in 2018 that we weren’t charging anything to all the visitors that come and stay in the harbor and so we wanted to be very cognisant of that as well,” Hill said.

CIMC must build a new hospital in order to comply with the California Hospital Association Seismic Safety mandate, whereby all California hospitals must operate from facilities that are deemed earthquake-safe by 2030, or be ordered to close. Hill said they are not able to retrofit the current hospital because the cost would be too high and there’s not enough space to do it.

“The hospital is going to be forced to close its door because it does not meet the earthquake requirements in California,” Hill said.

The new facility would also provide more space to meet the needs of residents and visitors. The island’s population and number of visitors have quadrupled since the hospital opened in 1960, according to CIMC. The initial project cost is projected to be about $60 million, according to the CIMC website.

“I think with Covid-19 people have realized how important it is to have healthcare on the island and there’s a lot of community support around the hospital right now,” Hill said.

Since 2018, when the first measure was defeated, CIMC has secured a location for the new hospital. In June 2019, the Catalina Island Company donated 2.5 acres of land, valued at approximately $4 million, near Quail Canyon to CIMC for the new facility.

According to CIMC, the common solution many communities use to raise funds such as this is an increase in property taxes or sales tax.

“Since both visitors and locals use the hospital in our community, we felt it wasn’t fair for locals to have to carry the full burden of replacing the hospital,” CIMC said on their website. “We believe it is best to share the burden among all who use the hospital, including visitors.”

The special transportation tax won’t cover the entire cost of construction, CIMC will also rely on fundraising efforts and donors.

“If we can prove that with this ballot measure, yes Avalon cares and they’re willing to pay $1 each way on their boat if it means having healthcare on the island then that in turn is going to bring in some of those big donors,” Hill said.

Hill said they are planning several virtual town halls to address any questions related to the proposed measure. Hill encouraged boaters to attend. The Log will provide details on those town halls as information becomes available.

OIL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL?

Four legacy oil wells off the coast of Santa Barbara County could be permanently abandoned, according to a proposal being considered by the California Coastal Commission.

The wells were built without regulations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

CALIFORNIA COULD ‘RE-ABANDON’ LEGACY OIL WELLS California Coastal Commission is expected to review status of four leaking wells off the coast of Santa Barbara County.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT

S A N TA B A RB A R A C O UN T Y —One of

California’s largest agencies is proposing to “permanently re-abandon” four leaking legacy oil wells located off the Santa Barbara County coast. The offshore wells are located in the Summerland Oil Field and were developed, without regulations, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Each of the wells “periodically leak crude oil,” according to the California Coastal Commission.

The four wells in question have come within the crosshairs of California’s State Lands Commission. Members of the State Lands Commission submitted their proposal to “permanently re-abandon” the four leaking legacy oil wells to the Coastal Commission.

The Coastal Commission will review the proposal on Aug. 12. Each of the wells are located in the subtidal and intertidal zone of Summerland, which is an unincorporated area of Santa Barbara County.

The four wells in question are C.H. Olsson 805, Duquesne Wharf, NorthStar 815 and Treadwell 10.

“The proposed operation would require the use of heavy equipment, vehicles, and specialized machinery on beach and intertidal areas, as well as the moor-

ing and operation of a work barge and use of underwater excavation equipment for offshore wells,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners.

“Depending on [State Lands Commission] funding, tides, and availability of the crane barge, abandonment will occur in phases over a 2- or 3-year period.

“The intertidal wells can only be re-abandoned during periods of extreme low tide, whereas the offshore wells can be accessed for re-abandonment during any favorable marine weather conditions,” the report continued.

It is likely the project will take several years to execute, since state funds made possible for this type of work are “insufficient to allow all wells to be done in a single year.”

The abandonment schedule also depends upon the availability of a crane barge and tides.

Coastal Commission staff, in its report to commissioners, outlined two types of re-abandoning processes. The onshore approach worked for the abandoning of a nearby oil well – known as Becker – in 2018.

“The onshore well abandonment approach consists of exposing the leaking

Historical

wellhead, installing steel pipe pile and a cylindrical cofferdam around the well using a vibratory hammer, and encapsulating the leaking wellhead using cement and a welded steel plate,” Coastal Commission staff said. “The exposure of the wells will occur by excavating 8-10 feet of sand around the wellhead during the low tides. The sand will be allowed to naturally refill the excavated hole by tidal action between work windows.”

Pursuing an offshore well approach will require the use of a craned barge.

“The offshore well approach involves a crane barge anchored over the wellheads, and divers exposing the leaking wellheads by temporarily displacing sand with water jetting tools,” according to Coastal Commission staff. “Once the well cap has been exposed, cold cutting methods and jack hammers will be used

Zane Grey and a 2,200 lb sunfish AVALON—Famous author and world-class fisherman Zane Grey first visited Catalina Island on his honeymoon in 1906. By 1914, Grey began to make annual trips to the island. He’s pictured here on one of those trips in 1926 with a 2,200-pound Sunfish he caught. It was the same year the novelist built a home on Catalina Island on the hillside overlooking Avalon Bay. He spent most of his later life in Avalon writing and fishing. He was fond of saying, “In order to fish, I write.” Grey’s Hopi Indian adobe-style hilltop estate was converted to a hotel after his death in 1939 at the age of 67.

to break up the cement well cap to access the original wellhead.

“Well abandonment activities will follow the same procedure as the onshore wells described above after the old barrel and well cap has been removed,” Coastal Commission staff continued.

Post-work monitoring, which would be put in place regardless of approach pursued, would “assess the success of the project activities,” according to Coastal Commission staff.

“The hydrocarbon seepage from the wells is very noticeable from above the water. As a result, drone surveys will be conducted to monitor the wells for seepage. These surveys will occur periodically to ensure hydrocarbons are no longer seeping from the re- abandoned wellheads,” Coastal Commission staff said in its report to commissioners.

Other event listings on the same site have the sanitized boats relocating to St. Louis, Houston, Chicago, Miami, and Orlando on Sept. 9. Then New York City, Pittsburgh, and Canadian cities like Vancouver, Toronto, and Calgary the next week. According to zip-tickets.com, the final string of U.S. screenings will conclude on Sept. 23 in Austin, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Columbus, and Cincinnati.

News outlets reported Beyond Cinema, an Australian-based company that produces immersive film experiences, was the organizer of the event. The company was not named in the event description. According to Beyond Cinema’s website, the company has hosted several immersive experiences in Sydney, Australia over the last 18 months. The events have “taken people on board The Titanic, into The Shawshank Redemption at The Old Melbourne Gaol and Gatsby’s mansion at the stunning Curzon Hall.”

The Log reached out to Beyond Cinema for more information through a contact form on the company’s website. The Log received a response from email with the name “Immersive Ventures,” directing the paper to reach out to “Camila” whose email address was @virtualgamingco.com. The Log did not hear back by the time this paper went to press. After getting no response, The Log attempted to confirm the event with the first email address from “Immersive Ventures” but also did not get a reply before this paper went to press.

The event is not out of the realm of possibility. In fact, such an event did take place at the end of July in Paris as part of “Paris-Plages”, an annual summer program that offers outdoor sports and leisure activities on the banks of the seine river and the bassin de la villette. As part of the event, M2K Cinemas hosted “Cinéma sur l’Eau” — or cinema on the water — with a movie screen and floating boats on the river.

es” depicting a simulation of the event with a movie screen and floating boats, was circulating with some of the news stories about the alleged “Floating Boat Cinema.”

Questions remain about the exact locations of where these boats will set sail in Los Angeles and San Diego. Will it take place in one of the marinas or bays? An in-land lake, river or reservoir? According to zip-tickets.com, the locations will be announced when tickets go on sale.

If the event were to use public waters, it would need a permit and possibly multiple permits. Tracy Spahr, the Public Information Officer with the Port of San Diego said organizers would need a permit from them if they were to use any of the about 34 miles of water along San Diego Bay the Port oversees. Spahr said the Port has not yet been contacted by the event organizers and a permit has not yet been sought.

The event would likely also require a Marine Event permit from the U.S. Coast Guard. USCG requires the application to be submitted 135 day before the event, a deadline that has passed for an event scheduled for Sept. 2.

The Log reached out to the Coast Guard’s Public Affairs Detachment San Diego to see if an application had been submitted, but did not hear back before this paper went to press.

If the Los Angeles event were to take place along the 25 miles of coast the Department of Beaches & Harbors Los Angeles County oversees, such as Marina del Rey harbor, it would require a permit from the department.

The Log also reached out to the Department of Beaches & Harbors Los Angeles County to see if they had been in contact with the event organizers or had received an event application but also did not hear back.

It could be that all these unanswered questions have answers but were just not supplied to The Log and the events are legitimate. The event would certainly provide a memorable experience and be a welcomed summer activity in a Covid19 world.

Catalina Connection

By LINDSEY GLASGOW AVALON—The first concert in the annual

Catalina Island Concert Series will take place as a virtual event.

Love Catalina Island, the official Tourism Authority for Catalina Island, announced the first concert of the “Summer of Love” series will kick off on Friday, Aug. 7 at 8:15 p.m. with a virtual concert from award-winning Rolling Stones tribute band, Mick Adams & The Stones.

Mick Adams & The Stones were originally set to play on the island earlier this summer but the in-person event was canceled due to Covid-19.

Co-sponsored by the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department, the virtual event will be live-streamed from the legendary Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach.

It will be preceded by a special program starting at 7 p.m. to help benefit the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department and first responders, including firefighters, lifeguards, and paramedics impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Attendees can choose to take part in live and silent auctions, and hear directly from first responders affected.

rented out by a family on vacation. Boat rentals are also popular in Newport Beach – but the effects of the city’s updated regulations for short-term housing on those boat rentals haven’t been determined yet.

Newport Beach’s City Council approved several limitations on short-term housing rentals at its July 14 meeting.

There will be restrictions on the number of people allowed inside a short-term rental home, for example. Owners of short-term rental properties must also provide a plan outlining mitigation measures for problem guests.

City staff would also work to limit illegal rentals. Any complaints lodged by guests must be addressed by the property manager or owner, in person, within 30 minutes.

The regulations address short-term rental properties commonly advertised on websites such as AirBnB and VRBO. Yet those sites, from time to time, also have boats available for a short-term rental, either hourly or daily.

Catalina Island to kick off virtual ‘Summer of Love’ concert series

Mick Adams and the Stones are an award-winning Rolling Stones tribute band and will be the first group to perform virtually as part of “Summer of Love” Catalina Series.

The Log covered this topic five years ago. A July 2015 article in The Log, headlined “Are Boat and Breakfasts the next Uber,” asked whether boat rentals made available on sites such as airbnb.com were legal.

A central question asked by The Log when addressing short-term boat rentals at Newport Beach Harbor: are such rentals considered a commercial activity?

“One posting advertises a sailboat available in Newport Beach for $85 per night,” the July 2015 article in The Log stated. “The city of Newport Beach does not seem to have a clear policy on whether recreational boats can be rented out as a vacation rental.”

The article specifically cited Newport Beach’s Harbor Code section 17.10.020, which, according to The Log’s coverage, states a boater needs a permit to conduct any commercial activity in Newport Harbor.

“No person shall engage in, or conduct, any commercial activity on New-

port Harbor, unless that person has obtained a permit for such activity,” the code section states, adding bareboat or certificated charters without a marine activities permit are prohibited.

“However, Section 17.10.025 of the code offers permit exemptions for sportfishing and commercial fishing vessels, single vessel charters for up to six people, special events, film productions, business operations approved by the city, activities endorsed by the Army Corps of Engineers and private marinas with a commercial pier,” The Log’s coverage continued.

City Council members did not discuss the boating element of short-term rentals at their July 14 meeting. An initial perusal of city staff documents on the issue also did not appear to make any references to short-term boat rentals, either.

Will boat owners be able to fly under the radar and avoid Newport Beach’s stricter short-term rental regulations?

The Log will analyze this issue at greater length in an upcoming issue.

A Lovely Day at Alamitos Bay Ä LONG BEACH—Coronavirus has seriously restricted our everyday activities, but there are a few things we can still do amidst this pandemic. It was a busy Friday at Alamitos Bay’s Marine Stadium on July 24, as local boaters took to the water aboard their boats and navigated this former Olympics site in Long Beach. There were a few jet skiers. This boat in particular was just speeding along. Others were just cruising to the ocean and back. Covid-19 hasn’t slowed boating down, as many harbors and marinas have vessels actively navigating to and from slips. Are you more active on your boat, in light of the pandemic?

ANNUAL CALIFORNIA COASTAL CLEANUP TO BE MONTH-LONG EVENT

By LINDSEY GLASGOW

STATEWIDE—September marks the 36th

annual California Coastal Cleanup. The event, which started in 1985, typically is held the third Saturday of September across the state. This year, due to Covid19, instead of meeting on a single date, cleanups will happen every Saturday in September from 9 a.m. to noon to allow for social distancing.

Cleanups will be self-guided and can be done at local parks, shores, creeks, streets, sidewalks, drainage areas, natural areas, and trails. Marinas, yacht clubs, and other boating organizations are encouraged to participate. Volunteers can also collect trash with their family, friends, coworkers, scout troops, school groups or service clubs. Since cleanups will be self-guided, volunteers unable to participate on Saturdays, can also participate in cleanups any day and time.

The California Coastal Commission, which organizes the annual event, reminds volunteers to practice physical distancing and to strictly follow both local ordinances and the set of guidelines pro-

vided on the California Coastal Commission website.

“Although the cleanup model will be different in 2020, it will still be an effective, educational, community-building event,” California Coastal Commission said in a released statement. “Trash within our neighborhoods will become the trash polluting our coast once the rains come.”

Participants are also encouraged to download the CleanSwell app on their smartphone before heading out and use it to count every piece of trash collected.

Data collected through the app will be used to put together a more complete picture of Coastal Cleanup 2020.

The California Coastal Commission put together a list of coordinator contacts for each county. They can be contacted for more information on local conditions and how to report results. The document can be accessed at coastal.ca.gov/publiced/ccd/Coord_info_for_web.pdf.

Boaters and boating facilities interested in participating are asked to contact their county coordinator and Vivian Matuk at vmatuk@coastal.ca.gov and provide the date, location of the local cleanup (waterways, beaches, parks, neighborhoods, etc.), and name of the boating facility (marina, yacht club, organization, association, aquatic center, etc.).

AVALON’S CABRILLO MOLE PROJECT HITS FUNDING SNAG; MOVES FORWARD WITH MODIFIED PLANS Construction for phase one of the Cabrillo Mole Ferry Terminal Revitalization Project has been underway since August 2019 but hit a snag when it was realized the extent of the damage was far greater than the design report estimated.

By LINDSEY GLASGOW AVA LO N —Avalon is slightly modify-

ing construction plans for phase one of the Cabrillo Mole Ferry Terminal Revitalization Project. The city will delay repairs to eight of the 21 traverse beams under the Cabrillo Mole Ferry Terminal due to budgeting shortfalls.

The city began work on the 50-plusyear-old Cabrillo Mole Ferry Terminal in August 2019 to repair structural damage due to time and corrosion from the harsh marine environment. The mole and wharf structure was originally constructed in 1968, and functions as both a breakwater and the main docks for cross-channel passenger boats including the Catalina Express. According to a

The Cabrillo Mole Ferry Terminal is 50 years old and has welcomed nearly one million passengers annually for the past 36 years. Phase 1 of a project to revitalize the terminal, which is currently underway, is needed to ensure the safety of the structure.

Coastal Commission staff report related to the project, nearly one million passengers passed through the terminal annually for the past 36 years.

The first phase of the project involves rehabilitating the wharf portion by reinforcing the existing concrete members and steel grates, repairing the existing concrete deck and railing, and installing pedestrian shade structures.

According to city staff, as the construction progressed, incremental in-

creases in quantities for beam and deck repairs were realized. The staff report stated the extent of the damage was found to be far greater than the design report estimated.

Despite a contingency factor, which added 25 percent to the final total to account for uncovering additional damage, estimates were coming too short to complete the necessary work. According to city staff, the need for supplemental funds to complete the work is even

greater than the original shortfall of the low bid and the engineer’s estimate with contingency.

Partially due to Covid-19, additional funding options are limited and several alternatives have been explored to contain costs while still completing the necessary scope of work. The City Council voted at their July 21 meeting to move ahead with one of those options.

Under this alternate, phase 1 of the work will be completed with the exception of work to traverse beams one through eight underneath the structure.

According to city staff, supplemental funding would be necessary to complete the work to traverse beams one through eight and the price tag was estimated to be in the range of an additional $500,000 to $600,000.

Additionally, city staff said those eight beams were previously repaired in 1990 and they have an additional five years of service life in the condition they’re in right now.

The work could be delayed until a future phase up to five years in the future or could be packaged with the upcoming phase two.

The second phase of the project is a more robust effort to rehabilitate and transform the ferry terminal and floats into a complete multimodal transportation facility that will serve the community for the next 20 years and beyond.

The effort will include a new ferry terminal building, float rehabilitation and enhanced land transportation facilities.

Preliminary engineering has commenced on the second phase and construction could possibly begin in late 2021.

The project is being funded by significant federal grants from the Federal Transit Administration in addition to local harbor matching funds. According to a staff report, potential fiscal impacts could mean the Harbor Wharfage Fee increase approved by City Council in March 2019 may have to be extended.

Great American Outdoors Act heads to president’s desk Trump is expected to sign the bill, which was passed by the House of Representatives on July 22, into law.

eral legislation aiming to protect recreational fishing opportunities on public lands made it out of the U.S. House of Representatives, July 22; the bill, known as the Great American Outdoors Act, now makes its way to Pres. Donald J. Trump’s desk.

The Great American Outdoors Act, which was approved by the U.S. Senate on June 17, would permanently keep revenues flowing into the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Representatives supported the Great American Outdoors Act by a 310-107 vote.

The fund, according to a statement released by the American Sportfishing Association, “has helped provided access to recreational areas, trails and waterways

viding resources to communities for recreation facilities,” the Pew Charitable Trusts article stated. “The outdoor recreation industry, including the hiking, boating, camping equipment, outfitter, motorcyclist and sportsmen sectors, contributes $778 billion in national economic output – or 2.2 percent of U.S. domestic product – each year and generates 5.2 million American jobs.

“The hunting and fishing industries in the U.S. are supported by 49 million sportsmen and sportswomen; these businesses employ 1.3 million Americans and contribute $200 billion to the national economy each year,” the article continued.

The Land and Water Conservation Fund was established in 1964 and is funded by offshore fossil fuel revenues.

The fund uses up to $900 million, annually, to preserve natural areas and water resources, according to news reports.

Another element of the legislation will reportedly set aside $9.5 billion for maintenance backlogs at our national parks; the set aside would cover roughly 80 percent of the maintenance needed.

Sens. Cory Gardner, R-Colorado, Joe Manchin, D-West Virginia and Steve Daines, R-Montana, spearheaded the Great American Outdoors Act in the upper legislative house; Rep. Joh Cunningham, D-South Carolina, led the bill through the House of Representatives.

The American Sportfishing Association stated Trump is likely to sign the bill into law.

Big-name sailors join 11th Hour Racing Team’s training crew Selections are highlighted

by Ocean Race veteran Simon Fisher and America’s Cup winner Kyle Langford.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT NE WP ORT, RHODE ISL A ND —Simon

Fisher, Kyle Langford and Emily Nagel highlighted the selection of high-profile sailors who joined the 11th Hour Racing Team training crew, it was announced on July 31.

The trio will be joining skipper Charlie Enright for a transatlantic trip from Concarneau, France to Newport, Rhode Island; the team departs from Concarneau on Aug. 8 and serves as the kickoff of its preparations for the next Ocean Race, which will be held in 2022 and

2023.

Fisher joins the team after winning the 2014-15 Volvo Ocean Race as the navigator of Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing. He also sailed with Enright as a member of Vestas 11th Hour Racing in the 2017-18 Ocean Race. Fisher originally hails from Essex, United Kingdom but now operates out of Spain and Southern England.

Langford, an Australian, was part of the third-place Team Brunel (Netherlands) in the 2017-18 Volvo Ocean Race.

He also competed in the 2017 America’s Cup as part of Oracle Team USA. Langford was the wing trimmer for Australia SailGP Team; the team won the inaugural SailGP championship in 2019. He lives in Stockholm, Sweden and was also a winner at the International Moth World Championships.

Nagal, meanwhile, represents Bermuda. She is a trained naval architect, according to 11th Hour Racing Team, and competed in the 2017-18 Volvo Ocean

Race with Team AkzoNobel. Nagal lives in Weymouth, United Kingdom and races her foiling moth.

The 11th Hour Racing Team crew will begin their training navigation aboard an IMOCA 60s; the team stated the vessel is capable of foiling, a first-ever for this type of boat.

“The new foil has been designed and refined using computer simulation tools,” 11th Hour Racing Team’s staff said in a released statement. “The latest IMOCA rule provides for a ‘second degree of freedom,’ allowing foils the ability to rake backwards and forwards several degrees.”

The foil was designed in collaboration with performance partner MerConcept and naval architect Guillaume Verdier. They plan to install a second foil later this year, according to the 11th Hour Racing Team.

Enright, Fisher, Langford, Nagal and the rest of the crew, upon arriving in Rhode Island, plan to take on offshore training, sea trials, onshore activations and sustainability initiatives.

The next Ocean Race begins in Alicante, Spain in 2022.

announced six recipients of its “Reach Hub” grants on July 29; five of the centers receiving those grants are in Southern California. Those recipients are: Mission Bay Aquatic Center in San Diego; US Sailing Center Long Beach; Newport Sea Base in Newport Beach; Orange Coast College School of Sailing and Seamanship in Newport Beach; and, Westwind Sailing in Dana Point.

The other grant recipient was Columbia Sailing School in Chicago.

Reach Hub grants are awarded to help grow youth sailing programs through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) and environmental education.

“The Reach Program utilizes sailing as an educational platform, challenging youth to embrace education, establish a love of learning and explore productive Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) based careers,” US Sailing staff said in a released statement. “Combining educators, sailing instructors, engineers, scientists with today’s youth to provide them with a one of a kind authentic learning experience, giving students the opportunity to apply classroom learning in a cooperative work environment.”

US Sailing’s Reach Hub program is a system of regional networks; the networks are comprised of “Centers of Excellence,” or a sailing center that serves as a “model of best practices,” according to US Sailing.

T he R e a c h Hub pr o g r a m w a s launched in 2015; the first hub was created in the Northeast. Three more hubs have since been created: Southern California, Mid-Atlantic and the Midwest.

Mission Bay Aquatic Center has been a part of the Reach Hub program since 2017 and, according to US Sailing, has served 8,879 students, trained 29 staff members to be educators and launched 18 new partnerships.

PREDICTING HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS

Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System has made strides in Harmful Algal Bloom research and data collection; could more advances better predict and possibly lessen the damage caused by HABs on commercial fisheries and the marine ecosystem?

By LINDSEY GLASGOW S A N DIEG O —Harmful Algal

Blooms (HABs) can impact boaters, anglers, recreational water

Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS) provides harmful algal bloom prediction data to stakeholders who use the information to improve management decisions for marine operations, fisheries, water quality, and ecosystem/public health. users, aqua farmers, the marine ecosystem, general public health and even those who make policies. HABs can result in the death of marine life, increase in marine mammal strandings, destruction of fisheries and sicken shellfish and seafood consumers.

Between 2014 and 2016 the entire coast of California experienced one of the most notorious documented ocean HABs in state history. Anomalously warm ocean conditions resulted in a coastwide bloom of the phytoplankton toxigenic diatom Pseudo nitzschia in spring 2015, resulting in the largest recorded outbreak of the neurotoxin, domoic acid, along the North American west coast. Elevated

toxins were measured in numerous stranded marine mammals and resulted in geographically extensive and prolonged closures of razor clam, rock crab, and Dungeness crab fisheries.

Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS) at the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography is one the scientific agencies researching and collecting data on HABs in California. SCCOOS provides information to stakeholders who use the data and model products to improve management decisions for marine operations, fisheries, water quality, and ecosystem/public health.

“What we want to do is make

it relevant to our stakeholders,” SCOOS Executive Director Clarissa Anderson said during a webinar event on July 30. The newly started webinar series is part of the effort to better connect SCCOOS’s HABs data to stakeholders.

Since the 2014/16 HAB, SCCOOS Executive Director Clarissa Anderson said SCCOOS and its partners have “crossed the valley of death,” a phrase used to describe the progression from research to real-life application.

One of the tools SCCOOS now provides is the California Harmful Algae Risk Mapping (C-HARM) system, which generates three-day forecasts of coastal conditions conducive to blooms of Pseudo-nitzschia and its associated toxin, domoic acid. The model was moved from research to operations in 2018.It has been used by marine mammal resource managers because of the association between HABs and marine mammal strandings.

Domoic acid is a concern for marine mammal health because DA is a potent neurotoxin and can cause cell depolarization, dysfunction, and cell death, resulting in seizures, epilepsy, cardiomyopathy, and death depending upon the ingested dose. In humans, domoic acid is the cause of a neurotoxic illness termed

amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP), following consumption of contaminated shellfish.

Another sector where this information has and could further be applied is in aquaculture farms.

The information provided by SCCOOS is currently being used by Baja Aquafarms in Ensenada, Mexico. Anderson said the farmers could use the information to predict a bloom with the potential to kill the tuna in their farms before it happens. Anderson said SCCOOS’s data is not currently widely used among this sector but predicted its use would grow alongside aquaculture on California’s coast.

While the early warning system may not be able to solve the problem, it could protect human health or seafood resources before a problem occurs.

SCCOOS said research tools for HABs are experiencing a renaissance, and expect to soon highlight many more observations from technologies. One of SCCOS’s goals for future models is to incorporate food web effects to be able to provide predictions on specific fisheries and toxin risk.

ATTEMPT TO REFORM CALIFORNIA’S SPORTFISHING LICENSE REGIME DIES AGAIN

State Senate will not hear legislation to change license system from 12-month scheme to 365-day license.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT

SACRAMENTO —California’s anglers just

can’t catch a legislative break. The State Senate won’t be hearing a proposal to change California’s fishing license infrastructure from a 12-month scheme to 365-day program. Assembly Bill 1387 (AB 1387), which was proposed by Assembly member Jim Wood, D-Santa Rosa, was taken off the docket for this legislative session due to Covid-19.

State legislators have engaged in a limited legislative session due to the

Covid-19 pandemic, only taking on matters deemed essential or urgent. AB 1387 was not considered to be an essential or urgent.

Wood, however, said he would re-introduce the 365-day fishing license proposal once the 2021-2022 legislative session kicks off early next year. He added he intends to keep the implementation date proposed in AB 1387.

“I have every intention of re-introducing a 365-day fishing license bill next year that aims to introduce many more Californians to the great outdoors,” Wood said in a released statement. “I look forward to working with the California anglers and the recreational boating industry and many others, to bring about meaningful reform soon.”

Wood is the latest state lawmaker to try to change California’s 12-month fishing license scheme and replace it with a 365-day license system. State Sen. Tom

Berryhill made three attempts at fishing license reform before retiring from the legislature (due to term limits). Each attempt failed to make it out of the state legislature.

Marko Mlikotin, executive director of the California Sportfishing League, expressed disappointment in AB 1387 failing to make it to the governor’s desk this year.

“California anglers have every reason to be disappointed that fishing license reform will not come in 2020. For decades, California’s costly and antiquated fishing license program has contributed to declining fishing participation rates and fewer economic benefits for communities and jobs dependent on outdoor recreation,” Mlikotin said. “States that offer anglers a license that provide a full 12-months of fishing from the date of purchase have experienced increased license sales and revenue.

“Unfortunately, this pandemic killed reform, but it was not due to a lack of support,” Mlikotin continued. “Over 70 state and national organizations supported Assembly Bill 1837 and as part of plan to improve fishing and hunting licensing programs, the California Department of

OFFSHORE BLUEFIN, YELLOWFIN, YELLOWTAIL, MARLIN AND DORADO BITES CONTINUE INTO AUGUST By Bob Vanian

H&M Landing photo

SAN DIEGO—We are well into the 2020

Southern California summer fishing season and the offshore fishing remains good for a mix of bluefin, yellowfin, yellowtail and Dorado. Things are getting

even better on the offshore fishing front with striped marlin entering the picture in a significant way over the past weekend.

With yellowtail, calico bass and bonito biting well around some of the offshore

Anglers continue to find offshore bluefin bites this summer.

Fish and Wildlife recommended transitioning the state to a 365-day license.”

Supporters of fishing license reform have long contended California’s 12month license scheme has contributed to decline in angling rates within the state.

The California Sportfishing League stated annual resident sportfishing license sales have declined by 55 percent since 1980, despite California’s population increasing by more than 60 percent in the same span.

An annual fishing license bought in California expires on Dec. 31, regardless of when it was purchased. Most licenses are purchased in the first quarter of any given year, and then declines from that point forward, according to the state’s data.

Berryhill and Wood have been proposing to shift the licensing scheme to allow an annual license to be valid for one full year, regardless of when it was purchased.

AB 1387 had made it out of the State Assembly unanimously and was in the State Senate for deliberation. The bill originally proposed to shift away from the 12-month licensing scheme and implement the 365-day license structure as early as Jan. 1, 2021.

Islands and with lots of rockfish biting along the San Diego County coast, there are lots of species for anglers to choose from in planning their day of fishing.

Bluefin continue to get much of the

attention with jumbo sized fish to 250plus pounds a possibility. Yellowfin have been running from 18 to 60 pounds with most in the 20- to 35-pound range. Most of the yellowtail have been in the 8- to

Federal agencies receive public input for seafood task force WASHINGTON, D.C.—Multiple federal

agencies will be reviewing public input for the planned Seafood Trade Task Force.

The input was submitted to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through Aug. 1.

The Department of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) office will both be co-chairing the Seafood Trade Task Force, which would develop a “comprehensive interagency seafood trade strategy,” according to a Federal Register notice published on July 10.

NOAA specifically sought public input to guide the task force’s objectives. Those objectives seek to improve access to foreign markets for U.S. seafood exports and resolve technical barriers, among other goals.

The call for public input and creation of the Seafood Trade Task Force were both the result of a May 7 Executive Order signed by Pres. Donald J. Trump.

The Executive Order aimed to promote “American seafood competitiveness and economic growth,” according to the Federal Register notice.

“The Executive Order calls for the expansion of sustainable U.S. seafood production through: More efficient and predictable aquaculture permitting; cutting-edge research and development; regulatory reform to maximize commercial fishing; and enforcement of common-sense restrictions on seafood imports that do not meet American standards,” the July 10 Federal Register notice stated.

Policy recommendations would be made by the task force and submitted to the U.S. Trade Representative office.

Several agencies would be involved with the task force, in addition to the Department of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative, which serve as co-chairs.

Those agencies are: State Department; Interior Department; Agriculture Department; Homeland Security; Director of the Office of Management and Budget; Assistant to the President for Economic Policy; Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy; Council of Economic Advisers; NOAA; and, others.

Fisheries affected by Covid-19 to receive relief funding CARES Act makes about $18 million available for fisheries assistance.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT SACRAMENTO —An estimated $18 mil-

lion in federal relief funding will be made available for aquaculture businesses, charter boat owners, fish buyers and licensed commercial fishermen who lost income due to the effects of the Covid19 pandemic. The funding will be made available to eligible recipients through the California Department of Fish and

Wildlife (CDFW).

The state is receiving its $18 million of relief funds through the $2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act stimulus package.

“CDFW estimates that there are more than 11,500 potentially eligible applicants for this funding, including individuals who work in the offshore, shoreside, aquaculture, commercial passenger fishing vessel and guide sectors,” CDFW staff said in a released statement.

An applicant for relief funding must demonstrate at least a 35 percent loss of fishing-related income, between Jan. 1 and June 30, due to Covid-19. The applicant must also demonstrate, through documentation, they are actively involved

in one of the qualifying sectors.

Applicants must also provide the most up-to-date address information by Aug. 17.

“The Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) is serving as fiscal agent for these funds. PSMFC will mail claim forms to all potentially eligible applicants to the address on file with CDFW,” according to CDFW staff. “Forms and documentation must be returned within 30 days to be eligible for disbursement. Following the close of the 30-day response period, final disbursement totals will be calculated and relief checks will be issued to qualified applicants.”

CDFW staff can be reached via email at CARESfisheriesinfo@wildlife.ca.gov.

FISHING NEWS UPDATES

bluefin have been moving westerly and northwesterly and there are now additional reports of big bluefin being found off San Nicolas Island, the Osborn Bank and outside of the back side of Catalina.

Closer to San Diego there has been

good to very good fishing for a mix of 20- to 50-pound bluefin, yellowfin, yellowtail and an occasional Dorado for boats fishing some of the local offshore banks outside of Los Coronado Islands.

Productive areas include the 182 Spot, the 224 Spot, the Corner, the 302 Spot, the 371 Bank and the 425 Bank. Additional areas that have been producing more sporadic catches of tuna, yellowtail and an occasional dorado have been the 9 Mile Bank, 43 Fathom Spot,181 Spot and 289 Spot. One of the best areas over the past weekend was for boats fishing the region of the 224 Spot while working from 18 to 25 miles 230 to 245 degrees from Point Loma. Some near limit to limit

catches of bluefin tuna came from the region of the 224 Spot over the weekend.

CORONADO BEGINS TO ADVANCE SEA LEVEL RISE VULNERABILITY AND ADAPTATION PLAN `

State grant is funding the city’s ambitious document, which would guide council members, stakeholders and residents in their response to predicted sea level rise.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT C O R O N A D O —Coronavirus might be

dominating headlines this year but there are still other potential disasters to worry about, and the Coronado City Council spent a portion of its June meeting to talk about one of those possible events: sea level rise.

Many California cities, counties and agencies are developing plans to deal with sea level rise, as to be prepared for the environmental event, should it ever occur as predicted. The city of Coronado is a low-lying city on San Diego County’s Pacific Ocean coast, so an issue as potentially damning as sea level rise is certainly something local officials seek to talk about and develop a plan.

Such a plan would ultimately take form as the city’s “Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Adaptation Plan,” which Coronado City Hall received a state grant to develop. A consultant could be hired to draft the plan at the City Council’s Aug. 18 meeting.

Coronado’s Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Adaptation Plan was based on predicted rising of sea levels in the coastal city through 2100. The plan aims to inform the City Council, commission and citizens on land use and capital investment decisions made in response to predicted sea level rise.

City staff said the plan would “be an informational document” with “adaptation strategies to mitigate the effects of [sea level rise]” and “not impose new regulations or obligations for [Coronado].”

The city will take a two-step approach in realizing the Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Adaptation Plan. Phase One is the preparation of the vulnerability report, which would include outreach to the public and stakeholders, as well as City Council check-ins.

Preparation of the sea level rise adaptation plan is the second phase of the project.

A final report, with the vulnerability and adaptation elements consolidated together, would then be presented to council members.

The vulnerability report would rely upon modeling based upon best available science and data, as well as a review of other regional studies by the San Diego Association of Governments, Port of San Diego and city governments.

Any forecasts made in the vulnerability report would be based on low, medium and high sea level rise scenarios between now and 2100.

Hazards such as coastal flooding, rising tides, storm surge and erosion would also be evaluated and factored into the vulnerability report.

The report would also take stock of vulnerable assets, such as parks, private property, facilities and other public infrastructure (such as Silver Strand Boulevard). Cost estimates for the replacement of these assets would be in the vulnerability report, as well.

City staff also plans to present a “draft menu” of potential sea level rise adaptation measures as part of its adaptation report. Possible adaptation measures include coastal armoring, sea walls, revetments, facility retrofits, zoning and flooding regulations, beach nourishment and managed retreat.

The city of Coronado applied for a Caltrans grant, as part of its Sea Rise Vulnerability and Adaptation Plan in November 2018. Caltrans awarded the grant, in the amount of $221,000, in November 2019.

The city was required to provide $28,662 in matching funds.

City officials released a Request for Qualifications in March, seeking consultant support for the sea level rise plan; six consultant proposals were submitted in May. A contract could be awarded by the City Council at its Aug. 18 meeting. The draft vulnerability report would be presented in March 2021, with the draft adaptation plan set to be on the docket in August 2021.

The entire project would have to be completed by Feb. 28, 2022, per the terms of the Caltrans grant, according to Coronado city staff.

Coastal Commission to consider two Ventura County items at August meetings

Parimal M. Rohit photo

Plans to redevelop and revitalize Channel Islands Harbor continues to be a hot button issue. County officials will also present plans to remodel Harbor Department office.

Ventura County’s request for a zoning amendment will be considered at the upcoming California Coastal Commission meeting. The amendment, if approved, could allow for increased residential development as part of the larger plan to revitalize Fisherman’s Wharf.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT O X N A R D —The C a l i for n ia C oa s t a l

Commission will consider two different projects at Channel Islands Harbor at its August meetings: the revitalization of Fisherman’s Wharf and a plan to remodel the existing Harbor Department office (and boat restroom facility).

Commissioners will be meeting remotely on Aug. 12, 13 and 14. Both items for Channel Islands Harbor are on the Aug. 12 agenda as public hearings.

COUNTY REQUEST FOR ZONING AMENDMENT Ventura County’s Harbor Department seeks to have a Local Coastal Program amended to “increase allowable density and height throughout the harbor,” according to Coastal Commission staff. The county is also requesting to “modify allowable uses and development standards to accommodate a mixed-use residential development at the Fisherman’s Wharf site.”

Coastal Commission staff has recommended commissioners to reject the proposed Local Coastal Program amendment.

Allowing residential development at Fisherman’s Wharf has been the center of a long-standing debate between Ventura County officials and the city of Oxnard.

Ventura County wants residential units to be allowed on the publicly owned Fisherman’s Wharf site; Fisherman’s Wharf is located within Channel Islands Harbor.

Harbor Department staff specifically requests changes be made to the city of

Oxnard’s Local Coastal Program, which was already certified by the Coastal Commission.

California’s Coastal Act does authorize such requests to be made, according to Coastal Commission staff.

Such requests may be made, according to Coastal Commission staff, “where such an entity is a ‘person authorized to undertake a public works project” and the purpose of the proposed amendment “is to meet a public need of an area greater than that included within such certified local coastal program.”

“If such an entity requests that the local government amend its LCP but the local government does not do so, the law allows the commission to override this disapproval and to approved the amendment in certain situations,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners.

Coastal Commission staff said the override procedure is “an extraordinary measure” and has only been used twice in the quasi-judicial agency’s history.

“It is intended to be used in those rare instances when a local government is standing in the way of the development of a public works project or an energy facility that would meet regional public needs,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners.

The Fisherman’s Wharf project, however, does not appear worthy of an override, according to Coastal Commission staff.

“This override procedure recognizes that it is the Coastal Commission’s role to apply. A regional or statewide perspective to land use debates when the use in question is of greater than local signif-

icance,” according to Coastal Commission staff. “Staff recommends denial of this proposed LCP amendment on the basis that it does not qualify for processing pursuant to the Coastal Act’s override procedures.”

The county and city share jurisdiction of Channel Islands Harbor.

Harbor Department officials, who represent Ventura County, seek to increase the allowable density for new multi-family housing from 18 to 40 units per acre.

The county also seeks to increase the maximum allowable building height at Fisherman’s Wharf from 35 to 55 feet.

Coastal Commission staff said the Fisherman’s Wharf site is dilapidated, but the county failed to provide any evidence to demonstrate the site’s revitalization “will meet the public needs of an area greater than included within the certified LCP.” “The Harbor Department provided no information, data, or analysis demonstrating that the current status of Fisherman’s Wharf may be negatively affecting the Harbor, and that allowing market rate, residential uses at the site will benefit the Harbor as well as a larger geographic area,” Coastal Commission staff stated in a report to commissioners. “Providing new housing is an important statewide issue, and the vitality of the Harbor is important to people beyond Oxnard’s borders. However, regional public needs would not be met by providing market-rate housing on harborfront land where coastal-related and visitor- serving uses must be prioritized.”

The county’s amendment request also fails to state whether it would prioritize housing needs over fishing or boating uses.

Fisherman’s Wharf is about 11 acres in size and is located at the corner of Victoria Avenue and Channel Islands Harbor Boulevard at Channel Islands Harbor. It was developed in the 1970s “as a waterfront-oriented, visitor-serving commercial and recreational ‘fisherman’s village’ development consisting of nine standalone buildings totaling 48,000 square feet of retail and commercial space, an urchin dock and commercial fishing processing facilities, public restrooms and 300 parking spaces.”

The Fisherman’s Wharf site does not have any residential neighborhoods.

Coastal Commission staff stated only 40 percent of Fisherman’s Wharf is occupied and Ventura County’s Harbor Department has been seeking to redevelop the site for about 15 years.

HARBOR DEPARTMENT OFFICE REMODEL Ventura County’s Harbor Department also hopes to remodel its existing 1,075-square-foot marina office building.

The project also calls for the construction of a 1,090-square-foot boater restroom facility and expansion of an existing public promenade (located at the terminus of Peninsula Road).
