State legislators will return from summer break on Aug. 12 and start taking action on AB 552, other bills.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SACRAMENTO—A proposal aiming to create an official state program on sea level rise adaptation and resilience was endorsed by the California Coastal Commission; the bill will be back on the radar of legislators as the State Senate and Assembly return to session from summer recess on Aug. 12.

Will Assembly member Mark Stone’s proposal, with the backing of the Coastal Commission, make it out of the State Senate and head to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk for approval? Assembly Bill 552 already made it out of the Assembly prior to the summer recess and already passed through a State Senate Committee.

The State Senate’s Natural Resources and Water Committee supported AB 552 by a 7-2 vote on June 25. A legislative analysis out of that committee stated AB 552 would help fund “certain scientifically-sound activities in order to help the state address coastal climate adaptations and resiliency.”

AB 552, as previously reported in The Log, would create Coastal, Adaptation, Access and Resilience

Program. The program would, according to the legislative analysis out of the State Senate’s Natural Resources and Water Committee, would “fund activities to help the state prepare, plan and implement actions intended to address and adapt to sea level rise and costal climate change.”

A “Coastal, Adaptation, Access and Resilience Program Fund” within the State Treasury would also be created to provide money to agencies like the Coastal Commission and State Lands Commission to “take actions, based upon scientific information,” to meet certain objectives associated with sea level rise and other climate change issues.

At least two amendments were made to the bill since it was originally introduced by Stone, according to Coastal Commission staff.

“Amendments of 4/30/19 add the State Lands Commission to the list of agencies that would receive money from the fund,” Coastal Commission staff stated. “Amendments of 06/27/19 revise the title of the program, and specify that the Natural Resources Secretary shall ensure that moneys expended from the Coastal Resilience, Adaptation and Access Fund prioritize expenditures that minimize the overall financial risks and costs of climate change impacts statewide.”

Coastal Commission staff and language of the bill both stated at least 30

percent of state tidelands revenues collected by the State Lands Commission would be used to fund the program.

AB 552 stems from the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, which, according to the State Senate’s Committee on Natural Resources and Water’s legislative analysis, “developed and implemented numerous programs and policies to address climate change through reductions in greenhouse gas and related emissions.”

“Put simply, climate adaption is the ‘new normal,’ and climate resilience

is dealing with the ‘new normal,’” the State Senate’s Committee on Natural Resources and Water’s legislative analysis stated.

AB 552 still has to be voted on by the entire State Senate. Assembly members would get the bill one more time, should it clear the State Senate, to approve or deny amendments.

Newsom would receive the bill only if AB 552 is fully supported by both houses.

The Log will update readers on the bill’s progress.

Bra donations are helping turtles with damaged shells from car, boat accidents Charlotte, NORTH CAROLINA—Who knew a bra could save a turtle’s life? Sadly turtles, as slow-moving creatures, are targets for accidents with cars, lawnmowers and even boats, which can be fatal.

However, the lucky turtles who come out with a cracked shell could potentially survive due to the help of a bra clasp.

Invasive mussels can quickly spread, displacing native species and damaging water supply and irrigation systems.

BOSTON (AP)—A replica of the Mayflower will be sailing to Boston as part of commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims’ landing in Massachusetts.

Organizers say the Mayflower II will be on display at the Charlestown Navy Yard from May 14-May 19, 2020, and visitors will have an opportunity to board the ship for free.

The vessel has been undergoing a $7.5 million restoration at the Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut since 2016.

The original Mayflower was lost to history after returning to England following its famous 1620 voyage to the New World.

The full-size replica ship was built in England in the 1950s and has been berthed in Plymouth Harbor. Plans are to bring it back to Plymouth following the Mayflower Sails 2020 event.

racing through the waves, one of 14 operations seizing cocaine and marijuana since May in international waters off Mexico and Central and South America.

The agency released dramatic video of the encounter with smugglers on Thursday.

It shows a Coast Guard vessel pulling alongside the submarine as someone yells orders in Spanish for it to stop. The submarine continues to move as Coast Guard members then get close enough to board it as one repeatedly pounds on the hatch before it opens and people on board appear with their hands raised as they surrender.

The Coast Guard says cocaine and marijuana with an estimated street value of $569 million was seized during the operations in the past two months.

Vice President Mike Pence was on hand as 39,000 pounds (17,690 kilograms) of cocaine and 933 pounds (423 kilograms) of marijuana were taken off the cutter Munro at Naval Air Station North Island in Coronado.

Fifty-five smuggling suspects were taken into custody.

No developer wants to violate the law (that would expose them as well as the city to litigation which equals delay and added cost). You forgot to mention the City Council approved the

EIR then the project and the public process involved in that process. Your second paragraph talks about 2 other lawsuits and does not tie this litigation to the award of attorney fees to the City. This case has nothing to do with the Project and its status or lack thereof. It is about the City’s efforts to recover attorney costs.

Waterfront Education remains in Redondo Beach New AES/SEA Lab property owners will keep Marine Innovation Hub at King Harbor. Can this serve as an example of why marine science education matters?

By Parimal M. Rohit

REDONDO BEACH—We’ve heard the clichés: the youth are our future; education is the key to success; and so on. The future of youth and education on the Redondo Beach waterfront, though, was recently in jeopardy of diminishing, if not disappearing, as a longstanding environmental nonprofit organization was struggling to stay put at King Harbor.

Turns out SEA Lab will be able to call Redondo Beach home – at least for the foreseeable future. Next Century Power LLC will house the Marine Innovation Hub at the AES/SEA Lab property, meaning Waterfront Education will be able to continue its presence at King Harbor

FAST FACTS

Steamboats on the Colorado River

By Parimal M. Rohit COLORADO RIVER—Did you know the Colorado River was once defined by maritime commerce?

Steamboat ships consistently navigated the river along California’s southeastern border during the mid- and late-1800s. Steamboat navigation came to an end in the early-1900s, when the river was re-envisioned for agrarian and irrigation purposes.

The flashpoint in time of the death of steamboat navigation on the Colorado River was on March 31, 1909, when a large group of people gathered at the recently completed Laguna Dam, located 14 miles above Yuma, Arizona. Laguna Dam closed off the river along the lower portion of its California-Arizona stretch.

Local politicians, according to the book, “Steamboats on the Colorado River,” hoped to establish the Colorado as the “American Nile.”

“To them [the politicians] the Colorado was no long a turgid avenue of commerce, but a bountiful source of water which could make the desert bloom and enrich the pockets of all,” Richard E. Lingenfelter, author of “Steamboats on the Colorado River,” wrote.“This new era dawned on the Colorado with a reawakening to the agricultural and financial potential of irrigating its flood lands; it was the opening of these lands that led to the closing of the river to steamboats forever.”

as a destination for marine science educational opportunities and experiences.

Providing youth education on the waterfront is a must for every harbor, not only in Southern California but also statewide and nationwide.

The value of providing marine education could help youth remain connected to the water well into adulthood – which, in turn, could be beneficial to the future of boating, fishing and other on-the-water activities. It’s great news, accordingly, for Waterfront Education to be able to remain in Redondo Beach for the foreseeable future. The staff and leadership of Waterfront Education expressed the value of keeping SEA Lab at King Harbor in a released statement to The Log. “[Waterfront Education] can now expand its reach, providing more diverse students with marine science educational opportunities and hands-on ocean experiences. [Waterfront Education] will invest in infrastructure and expand its programs, which strives to build a See STANDING WATCH page 12

Steamboats, however, were a major mode of transpiration between 1850 and the early-1900s – particularly on major rivers here in the West.

“Paddle-wheel steamboats provided the cheapest and most efficient form of transportation in the West,” Lingenfelter wrote.“During this time the Columbia, the Sacramento-San Joaquin and the Colorado rivers became the main thoroughfares for opening the interior to settlement and development. Within a few years of one another each of these rivers was supporting a thriving steamboat business.”

Steamers ran up and down the Colorado between 1852 and 1916, Lingenfelter said. Uncle Sam was the first steamboat to touch the river’s waters.

“In November 1852 a homely little steam tug, the Uncle Sam, was launched on the muddy waters at the mouth of the Colorado River. As a handful of Cocopahs, Sonorans and Yankees watched with amusement, sparks popped from her firebox, mesquite smoke belched from her stack, and her hand-me-down engine shuddered and clanked,” Lingenfelter wrote in his book.“Finally, with a straining creak her paddles started to stir the cloudy water, and, hesitantly, she pulled away from the bank to he’d up the unknown river.”

The Colorado River is still home to recreational activities, of course, as anglers, boaters, hunters, waders and others visit the inland waterway regularly. Yet the days of seeing steamboats on the Colorado are long gone.

Dana Point Boaters Association relays boater alert from marine construction firm Connolly-Pacific Co. Boaters are advised to be careful while navigating construction areas between now and the end of September.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein DANA POINT—Dana Point Boaters Association shared a release from Connolly-Pacific Co. asking boaters to be cautious during a marine construction phase near San Clemente Pier. The construction, which was scheduled to begin on July 5, will run through the

end of September 2019.

According to the release, “ConnollyPacific Co. will be offshore of the San Clemente Pier performing rock placement and tug operations on the Wheeler North Reef.” A diagram was included showing the locations where the work will be taking place. A copy of the release can be found online at danapointboaters.org in the documents section.

The statement further reads, “Please avoid crossing areas where workboats, barges, and derrick barge are present, and be aware of offshore moorings …

When transiting the area, use caution and remain outside of the anchor spread, that is, always put the anchor buoys between your vessel and the derrick barge.”

Boaters are advised not to cross the tow wire of tug and tow vessels; barges and these working vessels will be marked by a diamond shape.

During the height of boating season in Southern California, it’s essential to adhere to the rules of the road. Even expert boaters can run into emergency situations on the waterways and there is never a better time than

now to refresh by taking a boating safety course. California’s Boating and Waterways Division, for instance, has an easy to follow pamphlet titled “ABCs of California Boating,” which can be accessed online at bit.ly/2Lq6QPm. Just a few of the necessary information covered within includes updates about the California Boater Card, a float plan document, visuals about the waterway marking system, safety necessities to have on board, and navigation rules.

OEX was abandoned after it took on too much water about 200 miles off the coast of Southern California; Pyewacket, a Transpac entry, came to the rescue.

SAN DIEGO (AP/Log News Service)—A crew in the 50th Transpacific Race was rescued by fellow competitor Roy Disney, Jr., after abandoning its sinking 68-foot sailboat about 200 miles off the coast of Southern California, July 15.

Race officials said Disney’s Pyewacket, an Andrews 70, picked up the nine-man crew of John Sangmeister’s OEX, a Santa Cruz 70, and that all were safe. Pyewacket, which had a crew of 10, returned to Long Beach with OEX’s crew on board on July 16.

Race chairman Tom Trujillo said OEX sank. The yacht had reported that its rudderpost was damaged, causing it to take on water. Race officials said they received an emergency signal from OEX at 2 a.m., followed one hour later by a message from Pyewacket that it had picked up the crew of the sinking

yacht. Trujillo said it’s not known how the rudderpost was damaged. No injuries were reported.

Disney, the grandnephew of Walt Disney, said he was just getting out of his bunk at 2:30 a.m. on July 15 when he heard a distress call from another sailboat in the 50th Transpac Race from Los Angeles to Honolulu.

Disney couldn’t immediately make out the words but knew it was urgent.

He definitely heard “OEX,” the name of the yacht owned by friend and sailing rival John Sangmeister, and then “abandon ship.”

Disney and another crewman aboard Pyewacket roused the navigator to figure out where OEX was.

“We thought they were 30 miles to the south, but they were less than two miles ahead of us. It was easy to change direction, 2 degrees or so, and we were there in 15 minutes,” Disney said.

Pyewacket sailed alongside the life rafts and retrieved OEX’s nine-person crew.

The race was also over for Pyewacket.

“Rule No. 1 in the Racing Rules of Sailing is save lives. It’s not even a question,” Disney said in a phone interview

from his home in the L.A. area on July 16.

Sangmeister was part of Dennis Conner’s winning America’s Cup campaign in 1986-87 and sailed again with Conner in 1992. He owns Gladstone’s restaurant in Long Beach.

This was Sangmeister’s eighth Transpac, which covers 2,225 nautical

miles from Los Angeles to Honolulu.

Besides OEX, six other boats have retired. The race began with a record 90 boats, which left Los Angeles in three staggered starts beginning on July 10.

Huntington Harbour Commission still searching for identity

Huntington Beach City Code), infrastructure maintenance, dredging needs, capital improvement budgets and many other matters on Huntington Beach’s harbor, according to approved minutes.

Chris Slama, Community Services Manager of Programs and Services for the city of Huntington Beach, emailed The Log to explain that commissioners have been working to pin down the main subjects to explore.

Slama said, “At last week’s meeting [June 27], the Commission started to discuss prioritizations of subjects, and potential ad hoc committees to address issues in the harbor area.”

He further stated Administrative Assistant Carrie Gonzalez would share

HUNTINGTON HARBOUR—In the maritime world, it was a milestone when the city of Huntington Beach organized a harbor commission all their own. Huntington Harbour, which is the home base for boaters in the Huntington Beach area, now has seven volunteer commissioners presiding over issues from dredging to safety on the waterways.

However, as a relatively new agency, there is still the matter of prioritizing topics for the commission.

The Log was present at the first meeting, which took place on March 28. At this meeting, there was an overview of The Huntington Harbor Commission met for the first time in March. What will the next the commission prioritize over the course of the next meetings: Brown Act, legislation passed by Ralph boating safety, capital improvement projects or more?

Orange County contemplating answers to questions about Newport Beach docks decision The county, which maintains jurisdiction over docks, has not yet clarified whether Sheriff lieutenant’s decision was authorized.

NEWPORT BEACH—A simple question of whether Sheriff Lt. Chris Corn was authorized to adjust the time allowed to use a set of public docks in Newport Beach from 72 hours to 20 minutes have not yet been answered by Orange County’s in-house counsel. An Orange County spokesperson told The Log in an email the county’s CEO office is reviewing our questions. Whether our questions are answered remains to be seen.

The question of whether Corn was allowed to adjust the dock time usage unilaterally was first posed in a Standing Watch column published in the July 12-25 issue.

The Log initially reached out to the city of Newport Beach and asked whether it was proper for Corn to unilaterally adjust how long boaters could access the public docks. Newport Beach City Attorney Aaron Harp replied back to The Log via email, stating the docks in question were under Orange County

The Log is still awaiting answers on whether a decision to change timings at a public dock from 72 hours to 20 minutes was properly authorized. Who is in charge of establishing docking regulations – Orange County’s Board of Supervisors or the Sheriff’s Department?

jurisdiction – meaning he could not answer our question.

“It is probably best to discuss these issues with the county because the docks are on county tidelands,” Harp stated in his reply.

A follow-up with Orange County officials met with some progress. This writer reached out to Orange County’s lead in-house counsel, Leon Page, on July 18.

“As I understand it there was a change in time allowed to keep a boat at the public dock. Boats were once allowed to dock there for 72 hours.

The time allowed was reduced to 20 minutes – and, the decision to reduce that time was made by Lt. Chris Corn (Sheriff’s Dept.),” this writer wrote in his email to Page.

“My question is this: Lt. Corn told us, when asked, he did nothing illegal when he adjusted the time allowable to

dock at a public space,” this writer continued. “But was his act to reduce the dock usage from 72 hours to 20 minutes ‘authorized?’ Basically, is he allowed to change the timings of dock usage, or does he have to go through the county’s Board of Supervisors.”

The Sheriff’s Department’s Public Information Officer replied back four hours later.

“Hi Parimal, Thank you for reaching out. I’d be happy to assist with connecting you to Lt. Corn to provide clarification on these answers and additional updates. For example, the docks are not reduced to 20 minutes at this time,” Orange County Sheriff’s Department Public Information Officer Carrie Braun said in her reply.

The 20-minute time limit, of course, is no longer in effect, thanks to the intervention of the California Coastal Commission. Whether or not the time

limit is still in effect, of course, is not relevant. Was Corn authorized to cut down the dock time from 72 hours to 20 minutes? Or was this a decision the county’s Board of Supervisors was supposed to make?

This writer replied to Braun’s email with the just referenced questions in mind.

“Hi Carrie, I’d be free to chat anytime today but the question I have is specific and legal. The question is whether Lt. Corn had the authority to make the decision to alter the dock usage time from 72 hours to 20 minutes,” this writer said in his reply. “It’s a narrow question, focusing on the time the decision was made and who made it. That’s the only question I need clarification on, and it’s something I’d need an attorney to answer. If County Counsel won’t be able to answer this question, I’ll pose this question to another attorney who specializes in government affairs.”

The email referenced in the previous paragraph, a copy of which was forwarded to Page, was sent to Braun the morning of July 19; she replied back later that same morning.

“That makes complete sense. It will be up to the CEO’s office to reply and answer that specific question,” Braun said in her July 19 reply.

Both Braun and Corn, meanwhile, maintained The Log’s recent coverage of this issue has been filled with some misrepresentations. Our follow-up reporting of this story will provide Corn and the Sheriff’s Department a platform to outline the issues they have with The Log’s reporting.

The Log will continue to pursue the legal questions posed in this and previous coverage.

Long Beach to repair trash skimmer boat

Parimal M. Rohit photo

LONG BEACH—South Coast Shipyard and the city of Long Beach will enter into a services contract to repair “Trash Debris Skimmer Boat 3918,” the City Council voted on July 2. The contract award is for $113,848, with a 25 percent contingency (making the total budget $142,610).

Long Beach’s Parks, Recreation and Marine Department will increase appropriations of the Tidelands Operating Fund Group to offset funding associated with the contract award.

City staff stated the trash debris skimming vessel was outdated and in need of repair.

“Work includes maintenance and repairs necessary to keep the vessel operational through the coming storm season. Repairs are focused on the hull and its structural components, which have been worn by the elements,” city staff stated in a report to council members.

The city put out a bid for the contract job in August 2018 and received 464 potential bidders, each reportedly specializing in marine vessel repair services. Only one bid was received, however – that of South Coast Shipyard.

In 2011 the city of Long Beach reportedly collected as much as 193 tons of trash from the water each month. The Los Angeles River brings large amounts of trash from several points due north – as far up as the San Fernando Valley - and dumps it all in Queensway Bay, where Queen Mary and the Catalina Express terminal are based, according to a 2011 article in The Grunion.

Trash skimmers, according to the Port of Long Beach’s review of the device, were identified as “a potential litter control technology … [capable of collecting] trains and debris from harbor waters.”

City staff’s report to council members did not include any background on the trash skimmer boat. There was no information on how long the boat has been in operation or how much trash it collects from water. The Log, however, is reaching out to the city to find out more about the trash skimming operation and could have more information available for readers at a later date.

Some marinas and harbors installed submerged trash skimming bins at their respective venues, but Long Beach uses a boat to collect debris from the water.

South Coast Shipyard is based in Newport Beach Harbor and identifies itself as a “go to” for wooden boats.

The shipyard services boats up to 75 in length and 70 tons in weight.

enough, has been considering a “water wheel” to navigate the city’s waters to collect trash and debris. The solar-powered water wheel uses the water current for navigation and a boom to wrangle trash onto the vessel. A water wheel vessel was deployed at Baltimore Harbor and reportedly collected 50,000 pounds of trash from the water, daily.

bridge between classrooms and the ocean,” the nonprofit organization’s staff said in a released statement.

SEA Lab, as you might recall, was in jeopardy of losing its lease – and therefore faced the prospects of losing its home on the Redondo Beach waterfront. The program, according to The Log Staff Writer Devon WarrenKachelein, educates students about “California’s rich coastal environment [and] currently provides homes for more than 1,000 fish and marine species.”

The program was on the ropes for much of this year, what with staff cuts and financial losses reported – on top of the lease issue already mentioned.

Keeping SEA Lab and Waterfront Education in Redondo Beach, according to the program’s leadership, would allow students to participate in various enrichment programs. Students would be exposed to educational experiences in STEAM subjects – Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math.

Each experience offers an education in marine environment and conservation, be it through observations of tidal pools or excursions aboard a sailing adventure.

Saving SEA Lab and Waterfront Education is a win not only because it will provide the youth of Redondo Beach an opportunity to learn about marine environment and conservation – the preservation of the program sets a precedent for other harbors to ensure similar youth education programs are added or remain in play at their respective venues.

AltaSea at the Los Angeles Harbor

There are other educational programs for youth to be in direct contact with our local waterfronts and ocean, to be sure, but each of these initiatives require the support of anglers, boaters and other community members, alike. Organizations such as Waterfront Education (and its SEA Lab) should not be in danger of losing a lease (and, therefore, facing the prospects of going offline for a long time, if not permanently).

Long Beach Harbor Department moves into new office space What Happened: The city of Long Beach announced on July 15 its Harbor Department began moving into its new office space at the recently erected Port Administration Building on the waterfront. Long Beach’s Harbor Department oversees the Port of Los Beach; the move into the new office space at the Long Beach Civic Center was estimated to take three weeks to complete.

Harbor Department staff had been working at a building near Long Beach Airport since February 2014. The department had to move out of its office space at that time, port district staff stated, because the Administrative Building, which opened in 1960, was deemed as seismically unsafe.

The port district contributed $235.2 million to the new building, which was part of a broader Civic Center redevelopment project.

What’s On Tap: Long Beach’s Harbor Department will now be at 415 West Ocean Blvd.; the building is located at Ocean Blvd. and Magnolia Ave. Relocation to the new headquarters began on July 12 and was expected to be completed by July 29.

The Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners is still deliberating a few changes coming to the San Diego waterfront, including Brigantine’s restaurant concept and the Embarcadero redevelopment. Both of these items are expected to be on the board’s agenda in the near future.

SAN DIEGO—Two waterfront redevelopment projects in Downtown San Diego continue to go through the planning process. Status updates on plans to bring a new set of restaurants to where Anthony’s Fish Grotto used to hold court and an updated waterfront community the port district hopes to become the “front door” for San Diego were supposed to be presented on June 18. Staff with the Port of San Diego, however, held both discussions from the June 18 agenda. It was unclear, as of press time, when either item would be presented.

Brigantine Inc. has been planning to build a series of restaurants on the Downtown San Diego waterfront ever since the port district’s lease with Anthony’s was not renewed.

The port district was set to consider an agenda item on Brigantine’s Portside Pier project at the June 18 Board of Port Commissioners meeting, but the item was rescheduled for a future meeting.

Port district staff did not note why the item was being postponed, but the agenda indicated commissioners were to deliberate an amendment to Brigantine’s lease. The proposed lease amendment would extend Brigantine’s construction rent payment of $366,666 to Oct. 31; the construction completion deadline would be extended to Aug. 31, 2020.

Anthony’s operated on the waterfront between 1964 and 2017; the port district demolished the longstanding restaurant shortly after its closure.

The port district’s Board of Commissioners selected Brigantine to build its Portside Pier concept on

the property of the former Anthony’s Fish Grotto. Portside Pier, a collection of four dining establishments, would feature a dock-and-dine feature for boaters. The four businesses planned to be a part of Portside Pier are Portside Gelato and Coffee, Ketch Grill and Taps, Miguel’s Cocina and Brigantine on the Bay. A presentation on plans to revitalize the Downtown San Diego Embarcadero district, just the same, was initially on the commission’s June 18 agenda, but put off for a later meeting.

Commissioners and port district staff view the Embarcadero District as potentially becoming the “front door” of San Diego and a “singular waterfront destination” where locals and visitors alike would take advantage of several recreational and commercial uses.

Specific plans of what those uses would look like are still being vetted, as previously reported in The Log. Changes to the proposed development appear to be in store, according to the June 18 agenda; port district staff had planned to give a general presentation on the redevelopment of the Central Embarcadero, “including changes to the proposed development,” according to the June 18 agenda.

Part of the Central Embarcadero redevelopment includes an upgrade of Seaport Village. The area to be redeveloped is located just east of Harbor Island and near the new Portside Pier project. Port district commissioners selected 1HWY1 to realize the new Downtown San Diego waterfront; the anticipated budget is $1.2 billion.

Other elements of the Central Embarcadero and Seaport Village redevelopment include a Space Needle-like tower, aquarium, hotels, maritime office uses and retail/restaurant space.

Nearly 70 acres of land and waterfront would be redeveloped, according to the most recent plans.

SACRAMENTO—California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been signing his first round of bills this year. One bill sitting on his desk is Assembly Bill 1183 (AB 1183), which was presented to him on July 8 after earning majority votes in its favor from the Assembly and State Senate.

AB 1183, which was introduced in February by Assembly members James Ramos and Jay Obernolte, would update state law to clarify the definition of a vessel operator. The Recreational Boaters of California (RBOC) has endorsed AB 1183 and published an open letter on its website urging Newsom to sign the proposal.

“RBOC is urging Governor Gavin Newsom to sign into law AB 1183, legislation that would enhance safety on the state’s waterways by clarifying that an adult is responsible for supervising the children he or she allows to operate the vessel,” the open letter, published online on July 8, stated.

The bill proposes to define vessel operator as someone who is steering the vessel as it is underway, responsi-

ble for the vessel’s operation while it is underway, or is at least 18 years of age and, according to the RBOC letter, “is attentive and supervising the operation of a vessel by a person 12, 13, 14 or 15 years of age.”

“By changing the definition of operator to include additional persons who may, as operators, be subject to criminal liability, the bill would expand the definition of a crime, and thus would impose a state-mandated local program,” text of the bill stated.

A State Senate analysis of AB 1183 stated the bill aims to close a loophole in California law and was spawned from the death of a 12-year-old.

“A 14-year-old [boat] operator ran over and killed a 12-year-old and the supervising adult on the vessel was found to be under the influence,” the State Senate’s legislative analysis stated. “Given the deficiency in statute, the district attorney declined to file charges on the ‘supervising’ adult because the definition of ‘operator’ is too narrow.

“While the supervising adult is responsible for the safe operation of the vessel, he could not be charged because he was not technically steering the vessel, which is required in the Code’s definition of ‘operator,’” the State Senate’s legislative analysis continued.

Requiring an adult to be responsi-

Assembly Bill 1183 made it to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk for signature or veto. Will he approve the legislation calling for a clarification on the definition of vessel operators?

ble for the operation of a vessel does have precedent, according to the most recent legislative analysis of AB 1183.

Adults are responsible for the operation of an automobile, for example, even if the adult is not driving and a teenager is instead operating the vehicle.

“The captain of a naval vessel is responsible for the operation of that vessel, even though he is not steering the vessel,” the State Senate’s legislative analysis of AB 1183 continued.

“Federal law defines ‘operator’ as ‘the

The South Coast Air Quality Management District awarded $163,200 to L.A. County to help pay for marine vessel engines. Vessels belonging to the Marina del Rey Sheriff’s Station will use the engines; the engines currently being used are no longer compliant with EPA standards.

Marina del Rey Sheriff’s vessels to receive new engines South Coast Air Quality Management district awards $163,200 to L.A. County to meet newer environmental standards.

By Parimal M. Rohit

LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors formally accepted a grant award for $163,200 from the South Coast Air Quality Management District on July 16.

County officials will use the grant funding to acquire two vessel engines for the Sheriff’s Department of Technology and Support Division. The grant is part of the Carl Moyer Program.

Two marine vessel engines used at the Marina del Rey Sheriff’s Station do not meet current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements, according to county staff.

“The engines will be replaced with new engines meeting the new requirement. The two vessels will continue to be used for routine patrol duties by deputies at the Department’s Marina Del Rey Sheriff’s Station,” a letter jointly signed by Sheriff Alex Villanueva and Undersheriff Timothy K. Murakami said. “These deputies are responsible for a vast patrol area which extends from the Orange County line to the Ventura County line, including Catalina and San Clemente islands.

“Modern engines would make the vessels far more efficient, cleaner running and cost effective, and would better serve the citizens of the county,” the letter, which was sent to the Board of Supervisors, continued.

County officials, as part of receiving the grant, must provide the South Coast Air Quality Management District with annual vessel reports, starting June 15, 2020 and continuing through June 15, 2030. The reports would include updates on operational perfor-

mance and repairs and maintenance performed.

The county must purchase, receive and pay for the engines by Dec. 15, 2019.

EPA mandated a set of standards for non-road diesel engines in 1994; more stringent standards were adopted between 2000 and 2008. The engines currently used by the Sheriff’s Department in Marina del Rey do not meet current EPA standards, according to county staff.

Federal environmental regulators established three tiers - Tier I, Tier II and Tier III - of standards for engines, all in the name of reducing emissions.

“The Tier standards are met through advance engine design with limited use of exhaust gas after treatment (oxidation catalysts),” Villanueva and Murakami stated in their joint letter to the Board of Supervisors. “The current engines used by the Department, purchased in 2005/2007, were manufactured by Moose Boat and do not meet the current EPA Tier Ill standards.”

The engines to be acquired with the accepted grant funds would meet the EPA’s current standards for emission reduction, which is classified as Tier III. The Carl Moyer Program is officially the “Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program” and, according to the California Air Resources Board, “provides grant funding for cleaner-than-required engines, equipment and other sources of air pollution.”

As many as 35 local air districts implement the Carl Moyer Program, in association with the California Air Resources Board. More than $1 billion has been allocated to various agencies and districts under the program, with $60 million in grant funding awarded each year to clean up or replace “older polluting engines throughout California,” according to the Air Resources Board.

Grant for Leeway Sailing Center increased by $40,000 Total award will now be $66,100; money will go toward equipment purchase and replacement.

LONG BEACH—Long Beach’s City Council approved an amendment for a grant award, July 2, for the planned purchase and replacement of equipment at Leeway Sailing Center. The center will receive an additional $40,000 in grant fund, bringing the total award to $66,100. California’s Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) awarded the grant funds to Long Beach to help the city pay for new equipment at Leeway Sailing Center.

City staff, in a report to council members, stated the competitive grant offers funding to nonprofits, colleges, universities and local agencies for on-the-water training programs, in the spirit of enhancing basic boating safety.

Long Beach’s application for the first year of grant funding yielded a $26,100 award; the application for second-year renewal was for $40,000.

A $40,000 grant will help the city of Long Beach replace aging equipment at Leeway Sailing Center.

will contribute to the much-needed replacement of non-motorized vessels used by programs at Leeway Sailing Center … [which] is located at the southwestern shore of Alamitos Bay in Long Beach and is operated by [Parks, Recreation and Marine],” city staff stated.

“Leeway Sailing Center is separated from the open ocean by the Alamitos Peninsula, which makes an ideal environment to offer beginner and intermediate sailing programs away from unpredictable open ocean elements

and within the watchful eye of certified boating and sailing safety instructors,” city staff continued.

The city’s use of vessels at Leeway Sailing Center, according to officials, helps Long Beach “continue boating and aquatic programs” and provide “affordable sailing and kayaking programs with a focus on water safety.”

Year-round programs offered at Leeway Sailing Center are: • Beginner and intermediate Sabot and Capri sailing lessons • Intro, beginner and intermediate

bay kayaking • Keelboat and canoeing classes • Sailing camps • Racing clinics.

“Many of the vessels currently used at Leeway Sailing Center were built in the 1970s and are past their useful lifespan. Safety is a concern and constant repairs can only extend the vessels’ usefulness for a short period,” city staff stated in a report to City Council members. “Budget constraints and the constant need for repairs on many of the aged vessels has made it difficult for PRM to afford replacements.”

City staff added the grant funding would help Long Beach promote environmental responsibility and sustainability.

“Unlike motorized vessels, non-motorized vessels, such as sailboats and canoes, do not create pollution.

Acquisition of new non-motorized vessels will enable [Parks, Recreation and Marine] to teach more people how to use these types of vessels, which reduces exhaust fumes in the air and polluting fluids in the waterways,” city staff said.

The city of Long Beach, in a separate matter, recognized July as Parks, Recreation and Marine Month.

Catalina’s only municipality has lost two council members suddenly in the last few months; Hernandez’s resignation came as a surprise to staff and other council members.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein AVALON—Council Member Richard Hernandez resigned from Avalon City Council on July 16, shortly before the meeting that took place the same day. This was a shocking blow to the council, who recently lost City Council member Pam Albers after she died

suddenly in May. City Clerk Denise Radde delivered the news shortly after roll call.

Radde stated at the meeting, “Mayor [Anni] Marshall I would like to make an announcement. Council member Hernandez tendered his resignation to me this afternoon in my office and that is effective immediately. In the near future, we will have an agenda-ized item to discuss our next steps.”

Members of the council appeared surprised upon hearing the announcement.

Mayor Anni Marshall responded “Well, I know we’re all a little bit in shock here, so you’ll have to excuse us … I don’t know what to say so I’m speechless at this point.”

Avalon City Council member Richard Hernandez resigns

The reasoning behind former Council member Hernandez’s departure was not given in his resignation, according to City Clerk Denise Radde.

Council member Cinde MacGuganCassidy asked whether the resignation is final or if 30 days notice would be possible. Radde said she asked Hernandez if she could retain the letter for the next few council meetings, but his notice was final and he knew how she was proceeding forward. City Attorney Scott Campbell further added: “Once it’s [a resignation letter] received and once it’s in writing, it’s final.”

According to Radde, Hernandez did not address the reasons why he was leaving the council in his resignation letter.

MacGugan-Cassidy stated in an email to The Log, “I am disappointed to have received the news of his resignation. It came as a shock to me. While no specific reason or details were given, it leaves a gap once again that we will

need to fill. I will wish Mr. Hernandez all the best in his future and have appreciated project work we have accomplished together these past few years. At this stage, I am not at all sure what our plan will be. I believe we will hear options in the near future but not sure which upcoming meeting we will be discussing the matter. It is still too soon to know.”

The Log reached out to Hernandez by phone, but did not hear back from him at press time. Our reporting will be updated online or in a future issue should any further information become available.

Hernandez’s contact information and photo were immediately taken down for the city of Avalon’s official website at cityofavalon.com.

The Division of Boating and Waterways and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are accepting grant applications for its Boating Infrastructure Grant (BIG) program. Funds are used to help pay for infrastructure upgrades, such as docks and gangways.

Deadline nears for federal infrastructure grant applications Boating Infrastructure Grants help marinas renovate or build docks, gangways and utility hook-ups, among other things.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SACRAMENTO—The deadline to apply for the federal Boating Infrastructure Grant, or BIG, program is around the corner. Private and public marina operators have until July 31 to submit their applications for a portion of $14 million made available for boating infrastructure projects worldwide.

This cycle of BIG funding will be awarded for 2020 and is funded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program.

“BIG is a competitive program open to both publicly and privately owned marinas to renovate or construct visitor docks, restrooms, gangways and dockside utility hook-ups for recreational boats 26 feet or greater in length,” Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) staff said in a released statement about the application period.

Grant recipients are able to realize several projects, should they receive funding. Marina operators can use the funding to enhance public access to recreational resources, strengthen community ties to the local waterfront, promote public/private partnerships and, according to DBW staff, “promote awareness of transient boating opportunities.”

All potential applicants are asked to review federal guidelines and application instructions before submitting a request for funds. There are two tiers of eligibility: Tier I and Tier II. Tier I projects receive up to $200,000. Funding would be awarded on a competitive basis to projects seeking to construct, maintain or renovate privately or publicly owned boating infrastructure tie-up facilities, dredge (one-time only), install navigational aids, produce informational or educational materials (charts, cruising

guides, etc.), and conduct appraisals/ administrate environmental reviews.

Tier II projects, meanwhile, receive up to $1.5 million is funding; there is $10 million available for Tier II projects, nationwide. Tie-up facilities, installation of a pump-out station or navigational aids, one-time dredging projects, appraisals and site surveys are among the endeavors eligible for Tier II funding.

Grant applications are, according to DBW staff, ranked and scored “according to need, access and cost efficiency as well as available matching funds from partners and innovations that improve user access to the waterways.”

DBW acts as a pass-through for these grants, as the funding is not sourced from the state level.

“DBW, as the pass-through entity for the grant application process, … sends eligible projects to the [U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service] to compete against others from all other states. Following a USFWS grant award, DBW manages the project through completion to ensure it meets federal requirements,” DBW staff said in a released statement.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service awarded $1.7 million to two marina infrastructure projects in California last year.

West Sacramento was awarded a grant for $1.5 million to build a 372foot dock and 80-foot gangway.

“This improvement will provide shore access and side-tie dock space for up to six transient recreational vessels 26-feet or more in length,” DBW staff stated.

The city of Avalon, meanwhile, was awarded $197,000 to upgrade an aging waste pompous and water fill-up station for recreational transient boaters visiting the city’s harbor. An estimated 20,000 boaters use this station annually, according to DBW staff.

Eligible marina operators should reach out to Deborah Holmes at DBW for more information; she can be reached at 916-327-1822 or deborah. holmes@parks.ca.gov.

LONG BEACH—Walt Bueller gazes out onto the water from his boat, a small Pacemaker called Why Not. Bueller has been a liveaboard in Long Beach’s Marina Pacifica since the late 50s.

When asked why he moved onto a boat, he looks surprised and says with a chuckle, “I don’t know. I just have a love for the ocean, the waterfront, and I pursued it until I won out and here I am.”

Bueller goes on, “I just love the water. This is my forte.”

Most people don’t get to choose where they hibernate, says Bueller, but somehow he ended up in California and it’s not a bad way to live – the water gently rocks us back and forth as we sit on his boat watching the boats speed by in the main channel.

In The Log’s world, being a liveaboard is somewhat normal, although not necessarily common. Meeting a liveaboard like Bueller, however, is an once-in-a-lifetime event. Bueller is a youthful 100-year-old and recently had a big party to celebrate in May; he was born on May 6, 1919. Lonnie Selander, Bueller’s longtime friend and unofficial caretaker, exclaims, “Walt’s going to outlive me!”

Truth be told, anyone who didn’t know Bueller was 100 would never have guessed it. While he has trouble getting around a little and is almost deaf, overall he has a certain zest for life that at both junctions can’t be touched and is an inspiration to everyone who meets him.

Humble Beginnings “43 years in this spot. We just got a brand new dock, but he’s always been right here,” Selander tells The Log. As one might imagine, Bueller has seen a lot in his time, including many changes to the waterfront.

“So many changes. It was like Western Towns here in California – and I roamed Long Beach and L.A. … It built up fast as far as I’m concerned,” he says of California’s development since he was a kid.

With origins in Canada, Bueller says his family settled in Minnesota.

He comes from a lineage of strict Mennonites. He never really saw their point of view, he said. Bueller never complains about his upbringing, but Selander interjects, stating that times were tough during the Great Depression.

“During the Depression it was hard

for his dad to feed all the kids, so he farmed them out for labor,” says Selander.

Bueller went back east once to a farm, but then he came back and ended up on a mortician’s squab ranch in Northern California. Bueller would dress out the pigeons and was separated from his family.

Eventually, Bueller ended up in a well-known orphanage in La Verne, which is now a historic site.

At the time, Bueller stated the land was not like it was now – it seemed vast and like a wilderness during his younger days, but not most things inland are as built up as it is on the coast.

“So many kids there. We had a female department upstairs and a male below.

The hobos would roam and Buller shares some photos and other information from his youth with The Log. The presentation board was made for his birthday celebration. gather whatever food they could and have a big meal.

We would go down and talk to them,” Bueller says.

Bueller joined the Marine Corps Southern California. when he was an adult, reaching the “That was a good life for ranks of Staff Sergeant and traveling to me,” Bueller says of working for Japan during World War II. the Civilian Conservation Core.

“We were occupational forces and “I drove a truck and I drove to then we went into Japan.

other’s sentences. Selander describes Bueller as a father figure whom he looks up to in a way.

“We’re so close for so many years now we kind of read each other like a book,” says Selander.

Challenges as a Liveaboard Living on a boat, aside from the spectacular view every morning, does have its challenges especially when it comes to maintenance. Selander arranges for all of Bueller’s maintenance to be cared for, including hull cleaning and washing the boat. They start up the engine every so often, but neither can take their boats out anymore. In a liveaboard setting, things people might not realize is that one relies on the kindness of neighbors more than any other situation.

“I can’t walk very far. I have a walker – it’s in there.” Bueller says, gesturing inside his boat. “I quit driving, so this is it.”

Each morning, Selander makes Bueller breakfast. Selander hooked up a bell system so that Bueller can ring him to make food. They have a routine together, which keeps their morale high – they don’t eat out as much, but Bueller loves going grocery shopping.

It’s one of his favorite social activities.

“He drives me everywhere, to the market to the VA. Without him, I couldn’t make it. He’s my lifesaver.”

Selander responds, “And without you I couldn’t make it either!”

“As far as keeping the engines going, I take care of all that. Any maintenance on the boat I take care of that,” says Selander.

Selander explains with boats it’s not the daily maintenance that’s the problem, but sometimes, emergency situations will arise and that can be especially difficult for Bueller.

“You never know when something is going to break on a boat or give up the goat and it has to be replaced and it sucks when it happens because stuff on boats is usually expensive,” says Selander.

One time, the toilet on Bueller’s broke, which posed a major problem – Bueller needs help getting around, so it’s not possible for him to make it to the restrooms without assistance.

“Oh, what a mess – it was a cellenoid that gave out, an electrical component, so I had to replace it,” says Selander, explaining how he fixed all the plumbing before he left for home in Northern California.

“I talk to him every single morning … I’m always scared to call someone to do a check for me because it’s a joke – are we going to find him alive or dead?” says Selander.

“Yeah, that goes on,” says Bueller, laughing. “Yeah, you don’t want to walk in there and see this spread out!”

“His doctor says he’s got a-good-nother five years. I’ll probably croak before him,” Selander jokes.

The Long Beach VA has also been accommodating. Selander explains that Bueller’s doctor will make calls to

his boat if it’s not convenient for Selander or another to take him to the doctor’s office.

These men bring a kind of solace over the inevitable.

Taking that step into the unknown can be frightening, but they pass friendly jabs back and forth with a healthy dose of laughter.

Bueller at the Marine Corps Recruitment Office in Long Beach.

Bueller’s 100th birthday party was a grand celebration. Hats and beer cozies with “Walt Turns 100 – I want a recount” printed in bold capital letters were passed out to guest.

“Oh yes, I had a ball!” says Bueller.

“The Police Department, The Fire Department were here – it was a big ordeal,” says Selander “He had a flag

presented to him that was flown over the White House.”

“I took him to the recruiting office here in Long Beach, so they did a mock sign up,” Selander says, which happened on another day as Bueller wanted to reenlist.

Bueller has an infectious, belly laugh and when Selander talks about their trip to the Marine Corps Recruitment Office, Bueller laughs heartily. It’s this sense of humor that seems to be prevalent in every one of his interactions, but he owes his life’s happiness to one source.

“I’m a Christian and I, uh, I seek the Lord every day of my life and if you do that, he’ll seek you. He gives me a happy life and what I have now.”

The harbor advisory group, after a few cancelled meetings, received presentations from waterfront developers and OC Sheriff’s Department Harbor Division.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

DANA POINT—After two months of cancelled meetings, Dana Point Harbor Advisory Board (DPHAB) returned to a packed agenda on July 22. This meeting appears to be a significant one in terms of topics and guests for Dana Point; Dana Point Boaters Association sent out an e-newsletter with the agenda attached.

Several high-profile guests have been asked to attend the meeting.

One was Lt. Chris Corn, of whose recent actions to limit the public docks in Newport Beach at OC Sheriff’s Department Harbor Patrol headquarters have been the subject of several news articles. Corn, according to the agenda, was slated to speak about “patrol operations, enforcement activities and priorities.” He was also scheduled for a “Q&A” session to answer questions about matters related to Harbor Patrol.

In addition to the matters of the Harbor Patrol’s budget, the Dana Point Harbor revitalization was another hot topic. DPHAB also was scheduled to have presentations from Bryon Ward and Joe Ueberroth, who make up one half of Dana Point Harbor Partners (DPHP), the specially created LLC tasked with giving the waterfront a facelift. Each presentation was scheduled to last around 30 minutes. Ward, who is a partner of Burnham Ward Properties, spoke on the commercial core of the project.

Ueberroth, who is chairman for Bellingham Marine and founder of Bellwether Financial Group, After a hiatus, DPHAB returned for a meeting on July 22. Several notable guests, including Lt.

The Great White Fleet sails past Santa Barbara, 1908 En

d T 30 ' i for es A -50' Mu vail ltih abl ull e s

By Devon Warren-Kachelein SANTA BARBARA—Pictured here, the Great White Fleet passes by Santa Barbara’s coastline in 1908. Pres.

Theodore Roosevelt ordered this fleet of naval ships, all painted white, to sail around the world. Some sources have noted this move was an intimidation tactic during a time where anti-Japanese sentiment had been brewing. Roosevelt wanted the world to know how strong the American Navy was and to exhibit the nation’s power abroad during a time of peace. It also aimed to show Americans that its military was prepared to go to war if needed; the fleet made an impact and has been said to be one of

the first acts that elevated America to a world power.

The Great White Fleet did make a 14-month tour around the world, including South America, Europe and Australia, and returned home to Hampton, Virginia on Feb. 22, 1909. Roosevelt, who would hand over the presidency to William Howard Taft in two weeks, later stated it was one of the most important actions he had taken during his term. The fleet also improved some world negotiations, especially with Japan, who agreed to sign the Root-Takahira Agreement after the visit.

Cure Cancer Cup partners with Cedar-Sinai Research Lab to raise money for cancer research. Since its interception, this regatta has raised nearly $700,000 to benefit scientific research aimed at curing cancer.

King Harbor Yacht Club raises $20,000 for cancer at 28th Cure Cancer Cup Cure Cancer Cup raised funds for Cedars-Sinai Research Lab, while sailing teams competed for the Tom Collier Memorial Trophy.

By Parimal M. Rohit

REDONDO BEACH—Two-dozen sailboats took the water on July 13 to compete for the Tom Collier Memorial Trophy and raise funds for cancer research. The Cure Cancer Cup – and its competitors – ended up raising $20,000 for the Cedars-Sinai Research Lab. King Harbor Yacht Club, which hosted the 28th edition of the regatta, has raised almost $700,000 for cancer research.

Sailboats and high-performance catamarans, measuring 18 to 40 feet, raced against each other in an inverted start pursuit. The trophy up for grabs was named after Tom Collier, who died of cancer at the age of 31.

“His fellow sailors determined that they would establish this regatta in his honor, to support research to cure this disease,” an official statement on the Cure Cancer Cup said. “Since its inception, this regatta has raised almost

$700,000 for cancer research. The proceeds all go directly to research at a lab that has been named for the event.”

Daniel Belton won the regatta with his Pacific catamaran, Bob Cat. Second through fifth looked like this: Mark Folkman, Viper 640, Amateurs; Albert Castillion, CF33, Hot Rum; Marty Burke, Beneteau 36.7, Bella Vita; and, Bob Cole, Olson 30, Priorities.

Michael McKinsey and his Catalina 27 Main Squeeze won the cruising class, while Burr Hope was the Cal 20 class aboard Déjà Vu.” “In such a ‘pursuit race’, with a wide mix of boat types, the slowest boats start first, and the fastest boats start last – the first boat to the finish line wins! The fastest boat started one hour after the slowest boat, and after 10 miles of racing, many of the boats arrived at the finish line at nearly the same time,” a released statement about the Cure Cancer Cup said. “The entire course could be viewed from the upper deck of the KHYC clubhouse, and the spectators were treated to some exciting finishes.”

An awards party was held after racing; sailing teams were treated to appetizers, sliders and a live band.

There were also auctions (silent and live) and a drawing.

Southern California fishing news

Landings in Newport Beach were found guilty of deceptive advertising, but it’s unclear whether jury verdict will alter behaviors.

By Parimal M. Rohit

NEWPORT BEACH—A jury verdict against four Orange County entities offering whale watching and sportfishing services certainly gained the attention of landings up and down the Southern California coast. Newport Landing, Davey’s Locker, Ocean Explorer and Freelance Sportfishing were all found guilty of engaging in false or misleading advertising. But what is the verdict’s effect on the industry?

Much has yet to be determined, so there isn’t much FishRap News can report on at this time. Indeed this will be an ongoing exploration of whether the jury verdict has any teeth and will cause various landings to be more transparent in their advertising, if

they aren’t already engaging in accepted practices.

The jury verdict, of course, only applies to the four parties named. We don’t fully yet know what the verdict means, partly because we don’t yet know the damages each guilty party is facing. Also in the mix: We don’t know how Four Orange County sportsfishing entities were recently found guilty deep down the rabbit of deceptive advertising by a court of law. Of those businesses were Newport Landing, Davey’s Locker, Ocean Explorer and Freelance hole this practice of Sportsfishing. deceptive advertising goes.

The text below the website and hyperlink reads: “Offering year round whale watching cruises daily viewing whales from Dana Point to Laguna Beach from Newport Bay in the heart of Orange County.”

These two search results are still active on Google, several weeks after the jury verdict was issued.

So what’s on tap? FishRap News tried reaching out to the attorney who represented Harbor Breeze, the plaintiff in the lawsuit against Newport Landing, Davey’s Locker, Ocean Explorer and Freelance Sportfishing.

All we know so far is there will be a penalty phase.

FishRap News has also reached out to a few local sportfishing and whale watching companies to gather their reactions to the jury verdict. We will update our coverage as soon as we hear back from them and know more about the judge’s penalty (or penalties).

TIGHT LINES — By Parimal M. Rohit

NOAA rejects petition to protect Māui dolphin WASHINGTON, D.C.—A federal petition to ban the importation of certain fish from New Zealand under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, or MMPA, was rejected, July 10, dealing a blow to environmental groups seeking to save the Māui dolphin. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) rejected the petition. Sea Shepherd filed the petition with NOAA, NMFS and the Dept. of Commerce in February.

The petition specifically called for the ban of imported commercial fish – or products from fish – sourced in such a matter that “results in the incidental kill or incidental serious injury” of Māui dolphin “in excess of United States standards.”

“The petition requested that the relevant secretary ban the importation of all fish and fish products caught

in set nets or trawls inside the Māui dolphin’s range and from the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island and the Cook Strait, unless affirmatively identified as having been caught with a gear type other than set nets or trawls within that area,” NOAA staff stated in its ruling.

“The petitioners assert that for the Māui dolphin, set net and trawl bycatch has driven the species from a population of approximately 2,000 individuals in 1971, to 111 in 2004, to 55 in 2011,” NOAA staff continued in its ruling.

NOAA rejected the petition for a few reasons, such as: A regulatory program already exists in New Zealand to reduce Māui bycatch Policymakers in New Zealand, based on a 2019 assessment, have propped additional regulatory measures to “further reduce risk of Māui dolphin bycatch below Potential Biological Removal level”

NOAA staff added disease, not commercial fishing, is the likely reason for the annual mortality of the Māui dolphin, in excess of the Potential Biological Removal level.

There was also the question of whether bycatches associated with Māui dolphin are actually being imported into the United States. The Marine Mammal Protection Act would be in effect whenever the regulation of species and fishing activities falls within its jurisdiction.

“NMFS cannot implement import restrictions that affect fisheries that do not export to the United States,” NOAA staff stated.“While there are set net and trawl fisheries on the List of Foreign Fisheries that operate within the Māui dolphin range, NMFS, working with the Government of New Zealand, has not been able to establish conclusively that these fisheries export to the United States.”

SAN DIEGO—Southern California anglers have a lot to choose from in deciding what to target in a day of fishing. There are lots of great choices for fishing offshore, such as bluefin, yellowfin, yellowtail, Dorado or striped marlin. Anglers can also target yellowtail, bonito, barracuda and calico bass at the local Islands or fishing for species that include calico bass, sand bass, sculpin, rockfish, barracuda and a chance at a yellowtail or halibut at spots along the coast. But what still tops the list is fishing offshore for a chance at catching a jumbo-sized bluefin, which have been ranging in size up to 250+ pounds.

Jumbo-sized bluefin to 250+ pounds were in the waters around San Clemente Island on July 20 and 21. Bluefin in the 25- to 100-pound+ range, plus a mix of yellowfin, yellowtail and occasional Dorado, were found in the offshore banks below and outside Ensenada.

The jumbo-size bluefin to 250+ pounds off San Clemente Island are currently being found in an area ranging from 4 to 16 miles to the south of Pyramid Head. There have also been some of the jumbo sized bluefin located out in the region of the 267 Spot that is easterly from the Tanner Bank. These big bluefin have been biting on poppers, kite trolled Yummy Flyers and kite fished flying fish which can be live, fresh dead or frozen.

Capt. Maurice Smith of the private boat Dos Hermanos fished the jumbo-sized bluefin on July 19 and reported Jon Epsten caught a 236.8-pounder. The bluefin bit on a kite-fished flying fish. Smith said they were told the bluefin is a club record for Southwestern Yacht Club in San Diego. An interesting note is that Smith reported that they also hooked and lost two of the jumbo-sized bluefin that bit on poppers cast to schools of foaming fish. He thinks either the bluefin swallows the popper so deep it cuts the braided line or the leader with it’s mouth or the freshly hooked bluefin drags the line over the backs of other fish in the foamer school of bluefin and cuts the line by abrasion coming from the other fish. The other zone producing bluefin action on July 20 and 21 the waters below and outside of Ensenada in the region below the 295 Bank and in the region of the 450 Spot. Fishing these areas has you down between 70 and 75 miles 168 to 178 degrees from Point Loma. At times there have been good numbers of 25- to 100-pound+ bluefin biting down this way along with a sprinkling of yellowfin, yellowtail and Dorado. But the bite over the weekend declined from what it was like earlier in the week, when there were some limit catches of bluefin reported.

Some of the sportboat counts for July 21 start with T-Bird out of Point Loma Sportfishing, which had 24 anglers on an overnight trip catch eight bluefin, 23 yellowtails and one Dorado. A two-day trip aboard Tribute out of Seaforth Sportfishing returned on July 21 with 29 anglers catch-

ing 14 bluefin, one yellowfin and five yellowtails. H&M Landing had Mustang return home from a two-day trip on July 21; the 15 anglers aboard caught six bluefin and 116 yellowtails. Fisherman’s Landing had a two-day trip on Tomahawk return home on July 21 with 26 anglers having caught 23 bluefin, five yellowfin, one Dorado and two yellowtails.

The fishing along the San Diego County coast remains good for a mix of calico bass, sand bass, reds, rockfish, sculpin and whitefish along with an occasional flurry of barracuda action and an occasional bonus yellowtail, halibut or lingcod.

The best zone at a chance for some barracuda action has been along the edges of the Point Loma Kelp Beds and the best areas for a chance at scratching out a yellowtail have been the Point Loma Kelp Beds and the kelp beds at La Jolla. The Point Loma Kelp Beds have also been good for calico bass. Calico bass have also been active at many kelp bed areas up and down the coast such as the kelp beds at the upper end of La Jolla, the kelp bed areas between Solana Beach and Carlsbad and at kelp bed areas above Oceanside Harbor such as the Barn Kelp, Yellowtail Kelp, Box Canyon Kelp and the kelp at San Onofre.

As an example of how good the calico bass fishing can be, Capt. Joe Cacciola of Sea Star with Sea Star Sportfishing and the Oceanside Sea Center reports the calico bass are in a mode where they are quite often biting wide open. He says they are literally catching and mostly releasing 100’s and 100’s of calicos most every day. Most of the calicos are short sized fish that must be released but he says there are also some legal sized calicos in the mix.

The summer fishing season continues to gain momentum and improve. Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!
