Task force and hired biologists sampled harbor water after discoloration in June; aeration diffusers are en route.

By Parimal M. Rohit

OXNARD — Local officials continue to address the recent discoloration of water at Channel Islands Harbor, with hired biologists providing local boaters and residents with an update on field samples they’ve sampled.

The water quality has reportedly improved since it turned brown in June. Officials continue to take samples of the water and aeration diffusers are expected to arrive in town within a few days of this story publishing. The diffusers could help accelerate the improvement of Channel Island’s water quality.

Brown water was mostly concentrated in three areas of the harbor, according to Oxnard’s Channel Islands Harbor Task Force: Seabridge Public Marina, Westport and a portion of Mandalay Bay. Water quality has improved to the point where humans are allowed to recreate in the harbor again, city officials announced. Local news reports, however, stated some residents remained cautious.

No definite answers have been provided as to why the harbor water

turned brown, though the Ventura County Star reported one theory: Pumps at a local energy generating station tasked with circulating water leading into the harbor were apparently shut off. The same news report added Oxnard city staff sampled Channel Islands Harbor’s water 26 times per day throughout the early part of July to determine low dissolved oxygen levels.

Low dissolved oxygen in water is generally correlated with higher water temperature levels. The higher the temperature, the less likely the water is able to hold any available oxygen – which is what happens during an algae bloom.

Oxnard’s Channel Islands Harbor Task Force published an interactive map to show water sampling results throughout the harbor.

Biologists measure low dissolved oxygen measures by the “parts per million” (ppm) method. A NASAsponsored website – cotf.edu, or Classroom of the Future – stated fish growth generally occurs when dissolved oxygen levels are at 5 to 6 ppm, with a 3 ppm reading creating stressful environments for most aquatic life forms.

The dissolved oxygen level at Seabridge’s marina area was 8 ppm at top of water on July 9, compared to 0.88 ppm on June 23, the first day of testing.

City of Oxnard continues to monitor water at Channel Islands Harbor

Officials continue to address water discoloration issues at Channel Islands Harbor. No one has confirmed why the harbor’s water turned brown – though one theory directed blame at a local energy generation station.

dissolved oxygen reading was 0.68 ppm on June 23 but improved to 8 ppm on July 13.

A water sample taken at the Channel Islands Boulevard near S. Victoria Avenue was 7.6 ppm at top of water, also on July 9. The top of water reading on the first day of testing (June 23) was 6 ppm.

The water’s pH level at Seabridge’s marina area, for example, was registered at 8.16 on July 9, compared to 6.48 on June 26. A pH reading anywhere between 6.5 and 8.5 is considered within a “normal” range.

The pH reading near Westport Marina on July 9 was 8.21, compared to 6.49 on June 26.

Daily results were trending in the positive direction, overall, during the first couple weeks of July.

Aquatic Bioassay and Consulting Laboratory was awarded a contract for $72,650 to perform water quality sampling and analysis on July 5. Studies could well continue into the summer.

Local boaters and residents were encouraged to report any water discoloration or odor to the city at 805-7977598 or sujin.beck@oxnard.org.

The lowdown on Rig-to-Reefs programs in North America 2C

 NEWS BRIEFS NATION/WORLD A study reveals blowhole spray may provide information on whale health PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Scientists no longer have to collect poop to get key data on the health of endangered right whales.

Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement was behind the beginnings of the Rigs to Reefs program started in 1985. Since then, oilrigs have been successfully transitioned into artificial reefs to blend into marine ecosystems in the Gulf of Mexico and other places.

BSEE’s website.

As a way to develop artificial reefs about the increased desire for offshore fishing activity at oil and gas platforms, the U.S. Congress signed the National Fishing Enhancement Act into law in 1984. BSEE saw an opportunity for resolution in the Rigs to Reefs program, which began in 1985. Since its introduction, the Rigs to Reefs program saw success in the Gulf of Mexico, where 532 platforms were transformed into

reefs to date.

Some might wonder if potentially adding these structures could be harmful to the environment, but according to BSEE not all platforms can be reefed and there are fairly strict standards including the size, stability, durability and cleanliness to take into account.

Benefits of this plan include: repurposing an obsolete structure otherwise too costly to remove; enriches and attracts marine life; and, provides

CALIFORNIA — Manmade structures like piers tend to attract a fair share of sea life such as barnacles – so why would oilrigs be any different?

The relationship between ocean dwellers and oilrigs is not a new phenomenon, according to the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE).

“Over the years, studies have documented a connection among fish and other marine life, fishing, and the oil and gas structures in the marine environment. Shortly after a platform is installed, it becomes habitat to marine life and communities begin to grow. Fishermen, divers, and coastal states have been concerned with the removal of these structures heavily-populated with marine life. BSEE began to work with interested parties and coastal states to address these concerns, creating Rigs to Reefs,” states the

If scientists are recommendBW ing this method of preserving oilrigs as homes for the ocean’s ecosystem and the program has shown it can be beneficial, then why is the state of California hesitating when it comes to passing the bill?

According to an article published by The Log in April 2017, elements of a Rigs to Reefs policy “proved to be unworkable” and oil companies were not submitting applications to the program.

Though the bills on turning oil platforms into artificial reef structures haven’t gone far in California, perhaps, with some tweaks, the program could prove to be a viable and cost-effective solution to enhancing the marine ecosystem off California’s coasts.

National Security is theme of Pres.

Trump’s new National Ocean Policy The president’s executive order touts benefits of domestic energy production and interagency coordination to economy.

By Parimal M. Rohit WASHINGTON, D.C. — The loud noises of Pres.

Donald Trump’s press conference with Russian Premier Vladimir Putin in Finland, Scott Pruitt’s resignation from the Environmental Protection Agency and Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court (among other stories circulating on front pages and homepages of the Interwebs alike) are certainly distracting to the more minutia of policy decisions being made every day on Capitol Hill and within the White House. One of those minutia of policies enacted by the United States’ Commander-In-Chief was an executive order replacing the National Ocean Policy developed during the previous two administrations with a new directive.

Trump’s executive order, issued on June 19, formally revoked the National Ocean Policy, which spawned from the Oceans Act of 2000 and advocated for the collaborative and holistic

management of the world’s largest waterways.

In its place is the Trump Administration’s Ocean Policy, which emphasizes domestic energy production and national security.

“This order maintains and enhances these and other benefits to the nation through improved public access to marine data and information, efficient interagency coordination on ocean-related matters, and engagement with marine industries, the science and technology community, and other ocean stakeholders,” Trump’s executive order stated. “To advance these national interests, this order recognizes and supports federal participation in regional ocean partnerships, to the extent appropriate and consistent with national security interests and statutory authorities.”

The executive order broadly mentioned seven directives to guide future policy, such as the need for best management practices to promote sustainability, inter-agency coordination, economic growth for coastal communities and oceanbased industries, law enforcement and use of best available science and knowledge.

Some of those observing and monitoring Trump’s executive order on ocean policy said the verdict is still out on what the directive means See STANDING WATCH page 8

FAST FACTS

Steaming across the channel aboard a fleet of steam vessels

By Parimal M. Rohit

LOS ANGELES — Catalina Express, Catalina Flyer and personal boat might be the best and most common ways to cross the channel from Los Angeles to Avalon or Two Harbors, but there was a time when steamboats paraded people to and from Catalina Island.

Wilmington Transportation Co. operated steamboats across the Catalina Channel in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Its steamboats also served as the predecessor to Avalon Freight Services, which delivers goods and services to Catalina Island.

“The S.S. Falcon along with the S.S. Warrior played a significant role in Catalina Island’s early transportation history,” a narrative of maritime history published online by L.A. Water and Power Associates explained.“They were an important part of the Wilmington Transportation Company fleet

for many years. They carried hundreds of passengers across the channel to Catalina Island as well as freight and fresh water for the Island residents.”

Another passenger steamer was the S.S. Cabrillo, which gathered channel-crossers at San Pedro’s Wilmington Wharf and navigated them to Catalina Island. Cabrillo was built at the shipyards of Banning Co, which was located in the Port of Los Angeles; she was launched in 1904 and was considered the most luxurious ship of her time.

An online entry about Catalina’s steamers on the Steamship Historical Society of America – SoCal website described Cabrillo as being equipped with a rosewood staircase and mahogany paneling.

Also owned by Wilmington Island Co. was S.S. Catalina – nicknamed “The Great White Steamer.”

She launched in 1924 and remained in service until 1975; Catalina was scrapped in 2009. At the time it took Catalina two hours to trek across the channel.

She was the last steamboat to service Avalon.

L.A. County Sheriff’s Department deputies shut down the Ports O’ Call restaurant on July 17, as city of Los Angles and harbor officials begin preparations for the San Pedro Market Place project.

OCTOBER HARBOR FREE-TO-ENTER ISLAND PUBLIC RACE VILLAGE

18 - 21, 2018

Ports O’ Call Restaurant, a local favorite in San Pedro, is shut down by L.A. County Sheriff’s Department What Happened: A popular 57-year-old restaurant in San Pedro’s Ports O’ Call Village, which is currently undergoing a transformation to San Pedro Market Place, was closed on Tuesday, July 17, with the intervention of L.A. authorities.

Select tenants of Ports O’ Call, Ports O’ Call Restaurant’s owner Jamie Wilson being one, received eviction notices earlier in the year stating they must close their doors by March and could not operate during construction.

Board members on the Los Angeles Harbor Commission finally instructed the lockout after Wilson had fought the eviction with multiple appeals.

Wilson, who also is the managing partner for San Pedro Waterfront LLC, told The Daily Breeze pushing the closing date back to Sept. 10 would “allow all the weddings, quinceañeras and other special family celebrations that we were unable to relocate to [go on].”

San Pedro Public Market Place is anticipated to open in late 2021 or early 2022 and will feature a modern design lead by Ratkovich Company and Jerico Development.

What’s On Tap: While Wilson is in talks to bring his restaurant back to San Pedro Market Place, Ports O’ Call Restaurant will not be in the same area. Some tenants have discussed a joint lawsuit against the city and have asked Wilson to join, but he stated to The Daily Breeze that he had not decided to pursue that avenue yet.

Avalon contemplates ban on plastic straws What Happened: Avalon’s City Council members discussed the prospects of banning plastic straws and Mylar balloons at its July 19 meeting.

Avalon banned the use of polystyrene (Styrofoam) products at establishments

with food preparation in 2017. The city could expand the Styrofoam ban with its initiative to prohibit plastic straws and Mylar balloons.

“The purpose of the [Styrofoam ban] ordinance was to protect the natural environment from non-biodegradable litter, reduce solid waste and promote public health,” Avalon city staff stated in a report to council members. “Polystyrene and plastics have not been around long enough to know exactly how long they take to breakdown; however, some estimates state they may take up to 500 years if they are able to break down at all.”

Avalon’s landfill, meanwhile, has been at capacity for at least 11 years, according to a topographical study performed in November 2016.

“Expanding the list of banned products can improve the local and regional environment,” city staff said in its report to council members. “Other cities have taken action to ban straws and Styrofoam projects.”

What’s On Tap: Council members are expected to revisit the issues again in August. One of the issues Avalon will iron out: whether the city should be the first to ban Mylar balloons. The city, alternatively, could recruit other cities to join them in banning the non-latex balloon in order to being first in line on the ban (and, hence, opening Avalon up to potential lawsuits).

Standing Watch From page 6

and whether it is better or worse than its predecessor. Will the new Trump Ocean Policy continue his administration’s goal to open up the Pacific and Atlantic oceans (and the Gulf of Mexico) to offshore drilling activities? Could the rights of certain groups protected under the now-revoked National Ocean Policy be lost under Trump’s new directive? What concerns do environmental groups and legislators have with the White House’s latest policy?

Congressional Oversight?

A group of U.S. Representatives sitting on the House’s Committee on Natural Resources penned a letter to their chairperson shortly after Trump’s Executive Order was issued. The letter demanded oversight hearings be held to examine the intent and direction of the new Trump Ocean Policy.

“The purpose of the original [National Ocean Policy] was to enhance our ability to maintain healthy, resilient and sustainable ocean, coastal and Great Lakes resources for present and future generations,” the letter, signed off by Reps. Raul Grijalva (D-Arizona), Jim Costa (D-California), Jared Huffman (D-California), Alan Lowenthal (D-California), Donald Beyer, Jr. (D-Virginia), Nanette Diaz Barragan (D-California) and Madeleine Bordallo (D-Guam), stated. “We are concerned that the new Executive Order is shortsighted and backs away from that commitment and will overturn years of critical ocean planning and policy.”

The seven representatives added our oceans are already bogged down by several environmental issues, such as illegal/unreported fishing, algal blooms, marine debris/ocean litter and overfishing. They questioned whether the Trump Ocean Policy would address such issues in the same way as the Oceans Act of 2000 and subsequent National Ocean Policy.

“President Trump is unilaterally throwing out many previous components of the [National Ocean Policy] and the decades of work and input from Congress, two previous administrations, policy experts and the American public that went into its creation,” the letter stated. “This important topic deserves our attention and oversight.”

National Ocean Policy and Oceans Act of 2000 The origins of the National Ocean Policy – which is colloquially referred to as NOP – can be traced to the Oceans Act of 2000. Pres. Bill Clinton signed the act into law, which created the 16-member U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy, in August 2000. Commissioners made 212 recommendations on potential ocean policy directives in 2004, which led to Pres. George Bush to submit an action plan to Congress.

Establishment of the National Ocean Policy would not happen until after the Deepwater Horizon oil disaster in 2010.

Pres. Barack Obama issued Executive Order 13547 during the spill’s cleanup to implement the recommendations

thelog.com

of an interagency task force he created one year earlier. Among the recommendations were the establishment of the National Ocean Policy and creation of the National Ocean Council.

The National Ocean Policy would, according to Grijalva and his colleagues on the House’s Committee on Natural Resources, “protect, maintain and restore the health of ocean, coastal and Great Lakes ecosystems and resources.”

“The original NOP has helped moved initiatives forward that improve the ocean economy, safety and security of ocean and coastal activities, and coastal and ocean resilience,” the June 19 letter authored by seven members of the House Committee on Natural Resources stated.

Executive Order 13547 emphasized stewardship and sustainability as its principal tenets, according to its opening paragraph.

“The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and resulting environmental crisis is a stark reminder of how vulnerable our marine environments are, and how much communities and the Nation rely on healthy and resilient ocean and coastal ecosystems,” Executive Order 13547 stated. “America’s stewardship of the ocean, our coasts, and the Great Lakes is intrinsically linked to environmental sustainability, human health and well-being, national prosperity, adaptation to climate and other environmental changes, social justice, international diplomacy, and national and homeland security.”

The intent of Trump’s Executive Order 13840, by comparison, appeared to be economic opportunity and national security.

“The ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes waters of the United States are foundational to the economy, security, global competitiveness, and well-being of the United States,” the opening paragraph of Trump’s executive order stated. “Domestic energy production from federal waters strengthens the Nation’s security and reduces reliance on imported energy.

“Our Armed Forces protect our national interests in the ocean and along the nation’s coasts,” the order continued. “Goods and materials that support our economy and quality of life flow through maritime commerce. Our fisheries resources help feed the nation and present tremendous export opportunities. Clean, healthy waters support fishing, boating, and other recreational opportunities for all Americans.”

Trump’s June 19 executive order wholly revoked Obama’s executive order.

Uncertain Future?

National Geographic, in a July 2018 article about Executive Order 13840, confirmed Trump Ocean Policy would shift the nation’s ocean policy from the environment to economics. The coverage added Trump’s new policy “eliminated the inclusivity of indigenous voices in decision making.” “[Obama’s executive order] came after a decade of study initiated by the Oceans Act of 2000, which updated the outdated 1969 Stratton Commission report on the oceans that, among other

things, established the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,” the National Geographic article stated.

“Experts are concerned that the latest EO largely ignores the important balance between the many groups clamoring for their chance in the waves—oil interests, renewable energy, indigenous rights, coastal community needs, recreational fishing, and more.”

The new Trump Ocean Policy would make several bureaucratic changes in the name of streamlining the process, but some wonder if such a move would in fact make it harder for agencies to cohesively work together on a national ocean policy.

One of those “streamlined” changes was the elimination of regional planning bodies, which connected various federal agencies together to manage waters. Trump’s new ocean policy directive now gives such management duties to individual states.

Surfrider Foundation also addressed the new Trump Ocean Policy, stating effective management of our oceans by all parties is a prerequisite to address coastal resilience, marine debris, renewable energy and water quality.

“A cornerstone of the National Ocean Policy was support for regional planning bodies (RPBs) that bring together states, federal agencies, stakeholders, tribes, and the public within distinct geographic regions to advance stewardship of the ocean and coasts,” a Surfrider Foundation blog post stated.

“In regions such as the Northeast, MidAtlantic, West Coast, and Pacific Islands, real progress has been made to protect the coastal ecosystems we all use and enjoy.”

The blog post later expressed concern about Trump’s revocation of the National Ocean Policy, claiming the future could be murky.

Surfrider Foundation’s blog post added: “It is unclear what impact this repeal will have on the work of regional planning bodies. In December of 2016, the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast RPBs were finalized and the Obama administration signed regional ocean plans that are already being implemented. States are supportive of the process and could continue implementation – but without federal agency involvement, the primary goals of the National Ocean Policy cannot be met.”

TAKE ACTION Executive Order 13840 provides general directives on national ocean policy. Specific details are likely to be fine-tuned and could still be influenced by policymakers and stakeholders. Here are a few people you can reach out to if you feel so inclined as to share your thoughts.

Port of San Diego and The Brigantine break ground on Portside Pier development

By Parimal M. Rohit

SAN DIEGO — The new Portside Pier project, which boasts an expanded dock-and-dine facility among its amenities, took the next step in its development as representatives from the Port of San Diego and The Brigantine broke ground on the downtown waterfront site, July 24.

The groundbreaking serves as the official start of construction of the waterfront project at 1360 North Harbor Drive. Portside Pier will feature several new restaurants once it’s online and operational: Brigantine on the Bay, Miguel’s Cocina, Ketch Grill and Taps and Portside Gelato and Coffee.

Up to four vessels could be accommodated at the dock-and-dine facility. Portside Pier is expected to debut in late 2019.

Mark Sandoval begins duties as Director of Channel Islands Harbor

By Devon Warren OXNARD — A nationwide search for a candidate to replace Lyn Krieger as Director of Channel Islands Harbor yielded former Long Beach Marine Bureau Chief Mark Sandoval as successor, Ventura County Executive Officer Mike Powers announced. A common story line for those who work marina jobs is they enjoyed a lifetime of water recreation, but Sandoval’s story is a little different with a similar ending.

“I came up in financial through the auditor’s office [in Long Beach],” says Sandoval. “I spent five years at city hall and then I started a marina position.

Without a doubt, the waterfront is my passion.”

While working in the San Luis Obispo Area at a private resort and marina, Sandoval was told by a marina associate that the position for Director at Channel Islands Harbor became available.

Coincidentally, Sandoval found his position in Central California through contacts as well.

Sandoval does have an extensive amount of experience and mentioned that he was there in Long Beach leading the Alamitos Bay Marina revitalization, that is until something quite controversial happened.

Sandoval, back in 2013, was forced to retire from his position as waterfront manager. “They [city staff] basically decided they didn’t want me anymore.”

Many newspaper and media outlets, once news spread about the situation, contacted Sandoval to comment on what was happening in Long Beach.

On a phone call as he drives to an orientation meeting, Sandoval tells The Log, “At the time, I said, ‘Look, I’m not gonna make my case through newspapers.’ I was going to go through the City Council, which I did. I pled my case to the City Council.”

At the time of Sandoval’s opposition, he stated there was some upheaval in Long Beach. The Assistant City Manager at the time, Suzanne Frick, did not like him, Sandoval suggests, and administration pushed him, and others, out.

“Looking back,” Sandoval muses, “everything happens for a reason.”

During his time at Long Beach, In his new position as Director Sandoval of Channel Islands Harbor, mentions Sandoval vows to lead the way for rebuilding the aging marina he gained among other challenging tasks. knowledge of the marina world, including insight into leasing activities, parcels and waterfronts among other valuable skills.

Sandoval was working as the general manager at Lake San Antonio Resort & Marina in between his time in Long Beach and securing the position at Channel Islands Harbor. Comparing it to his position in Long Beach, Sandoval says he valued the “different” experience he received managing a freshwater marina that was inland. A more involved position with tasks related to lodging and other areas not mentioned in his job description in Long Beach, Sandoval said working at Lake San Antonio gave him a bigger appreciation for private sector operations and how it differed from government work.

In the end, Sandoval also gained an appreciation for how government works, which he states brings his experience full-circle as he takes on a leadership position in the public eye again. With his knowledge of both the private sector and government operations, Sandoval feels confident that he can accomplish great things during his time as director at Channel Islands Harbor.

Channel Islands Harbor has been a challenging area in the past with difficulties bringing the Fisherman’s Wharf renovations to fruition and recently in the news, there has been an issue with the water, which is a strange color and residents have stated smells bad. When asked if Sandoval will focus on any of these issues, he says “all of the above.”

Although he acknowledges he was not that familiar with Channel Islands Harbor before, Sandoval says in his time there, he sees it is a wonderful place.

In his observation of the harbor, Sandoval says that the parcels need updating and rebuilding/rejuvenating the marina is one of his forerunning

Channel Island Harbor’s new director discusses his previous position in Long Beach, plans for the future.

goals.

“It is never an easy process because you will always have people with differing views and opponents [to remodel projects], but you have to continue to push,” Sandoval said.

Sandoval began his position on July 16, so he is still early in the process, but he says down the line he plans to meet members of the community and his opponents. He has already met the elected officials and the “retired” Krieger, who, it was announced in March, would be collecting a pension in addition to staying on as a part-time employee (at $93/hour).

Fisherman’s Wharf, a project headed

by Krieger, is the most visible project in Channel Islands Harbor, Sandoval acknowledged.

“Lyn Krieger is still on board and she has been shepherding the process, which I am grateful for – this [Fisherman’s Wharf] is primarily her project,” Sandoval told The Log, in addition to the fact that she has given him good advice as he gets his feet wet.

Above all, Sandoval cites it is important for him to be “open and transparent.”

“These things don’t happen fast,” Sandoval says. “Everybody is anxious for improvement. “ With much work ahead of him and an excitement to be back near the ocean again, Sandoval says, “I’m happy to be here and plan on making a difference.”

Commissioners and agency staff discuss Coastal Clean Day and ways to keep trash out of waterways.

By Parimal M. Rohit SANTA CRUZ — Debris and trash found in our oceans is no small matter, according to a presentation made at California Coastal Commission’s July meetings. There is plenty of trash in the sea, unfortunately, but the state agency held a discussion of how to best address marine debris and ocean litter.

Some doomsday accounts forecast the time will soon come when the population of plastics in the ocean will be higher than the entire fish population combined. Other news stories weave narratives of garbage patches larger than Texas.

Eben Schwartz, a public education outreach manager with the Coastal Commission, provided an in-depth presentation to commissioners about marine debris and ocean litter and said the issue of plastics and trash in our waters could become an even larger problem in the future.

“The scope of the problem is huge and growing,” Schwartz told commissioners, adding California has been trying to do its part to combat marine debris and ocean litter for more than 33 years.

Schwartz spoke with commissioners about California Coastal Cleanup Day, the commission’s largest public event.

Coastal Cleanup Day started in 1985 and mimicked a similar event held in Oregon one year earlier.

Most of the trash in our oceans originates on land, Schwartz told commissioners. Only 20 percent of the litter or trash is ocean-based. Sources of ocean-based trash include cruise ships, commercial fishing vessels and cargo ships (such as discharge of containers), according to data collected over the years.

“Our previous assumptions about

the origins of marine debris were completely faulty. We initially believed most debris originated at sea and washed up on beaches. The data showed us, however, that most of the debris on California’s beaches originates on land,” Schwartz said.

“Some does come from beachgoers but a significant portion actually starts on city streets and inland areas, and washes down stormwater systems to eventually be deposited onto beaches.”

Ocean litter and marine debris are growing problems, according to the California Coastal Commission.

James Mahoney had a presence on Newport Beach Harbor with his unique gondolas. Mahoney died on June 25.

By Parimal M. Rohit

NEWPORT BEACH — James Mahoney, who operated Gondola Romance in Newport Beach Harbor, died on June 25, according to a blog post authored by a fellow gondolier; he was 75 or 76 and reportedly died after battling a long illness.

Mahoney was born in 1942 grew up in Connecticut and acquired his first boat when he was 10. He later started Gondola Romance, which navigated the waters of Newport Beach.

“For the past 25 years I’ve had the honor of sharing the water with him,” Greg Mohr of Gondola Adventures wrote in his blog post about Mahoney’s death. “Our encounters were always fun, often boisterously greeting each other from one gondola to another, and

I never saw him in a negative mood. He loved the water, and the feeling must have been mutual, because his times on the boats were like nutrition for his soul.

“He was a true fixture in the American gondola world,” Mohr continued. “Five years ago his doctor gave him two years to live.”

Mahoney and his family started a gondola business in 1984. His gondola fleet highlighted the original Venetian design, which required rowing and differed from the motorized version of gondolas built in the United States.

The gondolas of Mahoney’s fleet were equipped with a canopy, as well.

No additional information was available about Mahoney’s death, funeral or memorial service. The Gondola Romance website was also not online as of press time.

Will U.S. Army Corps of Engineers take offshore breakwater off the map or keep it in place?

By Parimal M. Rohit LONG BEACH — Plans to modify the large breakwater off the Long Beach coast could shift from complete removal of the 2.2-mile stretch of aquatic infrastructure to keeping the offshore string of rocks in place, according to those familiar with the situation.

A member of Surfrider Foundation’s Long Beach Chapter confirmed they met with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in June to discuss the future of the offshore breakwater, which is located just outside the Port of Long Beach entrance.

The breakwater was the third of three built south of San Pedro, Terminal Island and Long Beach. Federal officials established the San Pedro Breakwater in 1912, followed by the Middle Breakwater near Terminal Island in 1942 and Long Beach Breakwater in 1949.

The Corp of Engineers appeared to be moving forward with a plan to remove the Long Beach Breakwater entirely, partnering with the city of Long Beach to complete the project. Recent reports from local news outlets and the Surfrider Foundation, however, indicate the federal agency might do an about-face and keep the string of rocks in place.

Surfrider Foundation wants the Long Beach Breakwater removed in order to improve surf conditions along the city’s extended coastline. Long Beach was once home to ambitious surfers seeking to catch large waves, but local waters were tamed once federal officials built the nearby breakwater.

Representatives with the Corps of Engineers, meanwhile, have not revealed much in terms of updates, so whether or not plans to remove Long Beach Breakwater will remain intact remains unclear.

Removal of the breakwater – referred

to as “The Surfrider Alternative” – could bring back Long Beach’s once famous surf action, but it is unclear what the change in current activity would mean for the city’s downtown area marinas. Rainbow and Shoreline marinas weren’t active destinations for recreational boaters until the 1950s – after the Long Beach Breakwater was built.

A 14-page letter from Surfrider Foundation to the Corp of Engineers in 2016 made the case for removing the Long Beach Breakwater and allowing surf/wave action along the city’s coastline to be revived.

“The Surfrider Alternative proposes to restore sandy bottom habitat by reconfiguring the Breakwater, bringing waves back to the shores of Long A debate appears to be brewing off the coast of Long Beach, as the local chapter of the Surfrider Foundation hopes Beach, and mitigating for impacts,” promises to remove a breakwater will be honored.

City Council withdraws its applications for “The Waterfront” from Coastal Commission consideration.

By Parimal M. Rohit

REDONDO BEACH — The constant back-and-forth between a local developer and the waterfront community it hoped to develop appears to have breathed its last breath, as Redondo Beach’s City Council, on July 17, formally withdrew its application for a multimillion development from the California Coastal Commission.

Redondo Beach’s withdrawal follows a similar move made by CenterCal, the local developer who angled to build a visitor-serving destination at King Harbor, a few weeks earlier.

The withdrawal of all applications associated with The Waterfront project from the Coastal Commission likely means the planned overhaul of the King Harbor area won’t be realized as proposed.

City Council members declared The Waterfront project as dead. Council member Nils Nehrenheim, one of the leading - and most vocal - opponents of CenterCal’s plans, took to Facebook after the City Council’s July 17 meeting to express his approval of what transpired.

“WATERFRONT PROJECT IS OFFICIALLY DEAD,” Nehrenheim wrote, emphasis maintained. “I made one simple motion to stop a $400,000,000 mall by the sea project.

And just like that, the long battle came to a fizzling end. The ‘Mall by the Sea,’ the size of five ‘Wal-Marts,’ was officially stopped.

DBW Editorial: Boaters Address the Un-addressable: How to Maintain ‘Poo-lution’ Free Waterways [Editor’s Note: The following is a guest editorial provided by California’s Division of Boating and Waterways.]

SACRAMENTO — What do Caddy Shack, Weird Science, and California have in common? Well, all three address the very serious issue of improperly placed poo! In Caddy Shack it is a mistaken Baby Ruth candy bar, in Weird Science, it is a character turned poo-emoji, and in the case of California, it is the Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) working with marinas and boaters to reduce sewage discharge in California. All have taken up the noble cause of addressing the un-addressable.

The good thing is unlike the first two, DBW is not joking about the issue and has partnered with local agencies throughout the state to provide boaters with everything they need to keep sewage out of our waterways.

The old standbys for learning about how to handle vessel sewage come in paper form and can be ordered online or found in marinas across the state. In Northern California, maps showing the locations of marinas with sewage pumpouts for boats can be found in the “Pumpout Guide and Map for Boaters,”

as well as DBW’s “Clean Boating Maps.”

These two sets of maps cover the San Francisco Bay and Delta.

Southern California Boater’s Guide provides valuable clean boating information for those in the lower half of the state. If you’re interested in learning more about the impacts of discharge, rules and regulations, and how to use a pumpout, check out the pumpout maps and guides above, or get an in-depth look with The Bay Foundation’s “When Nature Calls Vessel Sewage Guide” or the DBW “Environmental Boating Laws” brochure.

All of these publications are accessible online at dbw.parks. ca.gov/?page_id=29195.

If you happen to be one of those boaters who prefer to keep your vessel free of anything but the registration papers, digital versions of all the materials above can be found on DBW’s Vessel Pumpout Locations page, which is at dbw.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=28771.

We have also created several new digital tools for you to use to put poo in its place: Pumpout Nav is the first app dedicated to getting human waste to where it needs to be. It may not sound like much, but with features showing boaters the current operational

status of pumpouts in California and the ability of boaters to inform marinas about broken pumpouts, among other awesome features, this app is a game-changer.

DBW and its partners have also created two different videos to help boaters understand how to use onboard and pumpout equipment to prevent sewage discharge. You can find the videos on YouTube (youtube.com/ watch?v=V5Jx8m9hY3g).

Digital or print, the option is yours.

Armed with maps, guides, apps and videos, every boater in California has the information at their fingertips to keep this noxious material out of our waterways. Let’s make California a poo-lution free state!

The San Francisco Estuary Partnership, in partnership with The Bay Foundation, developed the educational resources mentioned above.

The California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways Clean Vessel Act Education Program and a Federal Clean Vessel Act grant through the Sport Fish Restoration Program help fund the programs. Federal Clean Vessel Act grants are funded by your purchases of fishing equipment and motorboat fuel.

Californians are fighting high prices of living in The Golden State and some believe life on a boat is a viable answer — The Log examines the reality of liveaboards, the rewards and nightmares.

By Devon Warren

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — There is no denying the liveaboard culture can be an appealing one for a large number of people, boaters and non-boaters alike. With the housing crisis in California, many have also been scrambling to find alternative housing solutions – one such being embracing living on a boat instead of fleeing the state to search for a more humble abode.

But what are the economics of living on a boat? Is it really cheaper than purchasing a house at the California average housing cost? With housing prices rising so rapidly, especially in the scenic coastal communities of California, it’s no wonder that home buyers and renters are looking for solutions to the ever-growing dilemma.

Living on a boat, at first glance, might seem like the perfect answer – especially to the non-boater. While there are many positives to choosing to leave life on shore behind, it may not necessarily be the best choice for someone who is not completely committed to the decision and have not done research on the subject first.

Housing Prices in SoCal According to Zillow, a popular home rental and buyer’s listing website, the median price of homes in California listed as of print is $532,000 and the median price of homes sold is $486,500. Over the past year values have gone up 8.3 percent. Rental prices average $2,750. Worse still, these prices are projected to continue rising over the next few years.

California’s housing prices are more than double the median home value in the United States, which is recorded by Zillow as $216,000. Rent is also around $1,690 across the country.

Owning a Boat Boats are expensive and in some cases, more than the average cost of a home in the United States, especially one that fits the standards eligible to liveaboard status in some marinas.

Now there are certainly incredible tales of great deals on boats (for instance, this writer heard a member of the Classic Yacht Association was able to nab a vintage wooden boat for $1 in Huntington Harbour), but the intense work and refurbishment that goes into the process has been known

to empty many a pocketbook.

Maintenance is also an expensive part of owning a boat.

Mike Sullivan, a former dockmaster at Chula Vista Marina, stated one of his biggest accomplishments during his career there was establishing a boating concierge service to help maintain boats of tenants that live there.

Sullivan also mentioned while older generations typically had the knowledge to fix things, younger generations Articles exploring kicking home living for living on a boat are in abundance these days.

O.C. Board of Supervisors approve long-awaited Dana Point Harbor revitalization lease option Lease negotiation outlines $500 million project dividing maintenance responsibilities between Orange County and developer.

DANA POINT — An outpouring of Dana Point locals, business owners and city staff showed up at the July 17 Orange County Board of Supervisors Meeting to express their excitement for what was once considered a pipedream to many in the community: approval on a lease option to revitalize the harbor that has taken more than 20 years to achieve.

The lease option agreement was approved unanimously by O.C. Board of Supervisors, which means if all goes according to plan, construction could begin as soon as next year.

In a newsletter released by Dana Point Boaters Association, it read: “Over the next three to four months, Dana Point Harbor Partners will perform the work specified in the option agreement signed yesterday. They will continue to collaborate with our Boaters Association, the merchants, the Dana Point Harbor Advisory Board,

The $500-million lease option reviewed by Board of Supervisors, 20 years in the making, includes plans to address the aging sea wall, Ocean Institute, OC Sailing & Events Center and more.

and others to develop the final plans for the future of our harbor. When the conditions of the option agreement are met to the satisfaction of the O.C. Chief of Real Estate Officer, with input from our community, the final lease agreements will be signed, likely in October or November. Then the work of rebuilding our harbor begins.”

Skepticism is, of course, to be expected in some corners. Opposition to the lease agreement’s passage came from Orange County residents who felt the option could lead to taxpayers in other districts footing a large portion of the bill to rebuild and maintain Dana

Point Harbor.

Fifth District Supervisor, Lisa Bartlett, whose jurisdiction falls in Dana Point, stated that she felt this fear was “misinformation,” but also said that she felt it was the responsibility of the supervisors to protect all of Orange County’s best assets. Bartlett cited the harbor as Dana Point’s, and promised that because of the “cross-collateral” between the developers and county, the project would be the most financially responsible deal.

Bartlett also stated this project would include the “best of class partners” with Burnam Ward Properties of

Marina Politics & Inconveniences

The Big Questions

From page 14

are municipally owned while others are private for-profit operations.

Municipally owned harbors will typically have a much smaller limit or percentage of tenants who can apply to be liveaboard depending on the desirability of the area. Waiting lists to acquire a slip are typically long as well.

Also, one of the important things to know when considering if a liveaboard could be right for you or your family is while you own the boat you do not own the boat slip. Essentially, the slip is being rented from the marina, which means at times there will be an increase in slip rental fees or there is a possibility for eviction such as recent happenings in San Pedro — also a costly issue. Whereas equity is gained from owning a property, boat values may depreciate over time.

With the slip payments, a boat payment (if you do not own the boat outright), maintenance cost and so on, there is a probability that living on a boat could near the median rental prices in Southern California. By no means is living aboard a cheap or easy option.

Rita, who lives aboard in the Los Angeles area, said, “Finding a liveaboard slip can be difficult. In the Port of L.A., it is limited to 5 percent of the number of slips. If a marine has 200 slips, only 10 slips are permitted to be liveaboards, and only for security purposes.”

In California’s political climate with multiple waterfront projects, marina evictions, sneakaboards, water quality and other issues that you can find covered in The Log, even with that ocean view, it’s not always smooth sailing.

Though most boating folks do have a sense of community, there are matters of living with people that don’t disappear. Rita told The Log her marina in The Port of L.A. area has been trying to cut down on liveaboards; they have a problem with sneakaboards, or vessel owners who are unauthorized to live on their boats, but still do. With the difficulties that have taken place, she does not believe she can paint a perfect portrait on the liveaboard lifestyle in her marina at the moment.

Among some of the other inconveniences also mentioned by Rita when it comes to living aboard a vessel: • Emptying waste waters from showers and toilets requires using a pump-out station – it is illegal to discharge raw sewage into any harbor waters.

• Neighbors are 2 feet away.

• Even large vessels have limited living and storage space – simple living is a necessity while calling a boat home • Marine atmospheres are corrosive to automobiles as well and most marinas do not have covered or garage parking.

Liveaboard

The majority of this article may have sounded like nay-saying and dissuading boaters from seeking liveaboard status, but for those who have done their research, living on a boat may be exactly the lifestyle he or she is seeking. The Log has covered individuals who would never turn back to land living and also those who have run into problems.

Questions that may need asking are: Is this the lifestyle for me? Can I afford the maintenance of my boat? Will I be able to work aboard or get to work from the marina I’ve chosen? Is the marina I desire to live at currently offering liveaboard slips? How long will I reasonably have to wait to become an authorized liveaboard? Is my boat big enough to live on? Will my family be comfortable aboard? Will we be prepared if something happens to our boat such as a large repair cost or irreparable damage?

For those looking for a quick fix to solve the problem of expensive rent, living on a boat might add to problems instead of being the answer. Ocean lovers, on the other hand, with knowledge of boating (or interest in developing knowledge) and a desire to be a part of a tight-knit community – with patience and a willing to be openminded throughout the process of seeking liveaboard status – could find this a rewarding adventure.

Newport Beach taking on the “commercial core” of the development.

Bellweather Financial Group will oversee waterside improvements and R.D. Olsen is part of the bid to manage the hotel developments.

The Master Developer will be taking on responsibility for the aging sea wall, bridge, navigation channel and the fishing pier.

The agreement, which amounts to $500 million for a 66-year-term lease, divides responsibilities and maintenance for several areas in the development plan. The County, according to the plan, will be responsible for the Break Water, Ocean Institute, Baby Beach, O.C. Sailing & Events Center and Harbor Patrol, which was also a point of opposition for some including Vice Chair Shawn Nelson of the Fourth District.

Nelson stated during the meeting, “I don’t believe all the taxpayers should be on the hook for a lot of local law enforcement – and I still don’t.” Recently, Bartlett announced in response to a query by local agency, Dana Point Harbor Advisory Board, that a review of the harbor patrol would be granted and she also mentioned at the meeting that the review would take place in the coming months.

Op-Ed: UNESCO fails to declare vaquita as “In-Danger”

Marine Mammal Commission Twitter photo

Fewer than 30 of the porpoise habitat remain in the Sea of Cortez, but are organizations doing enough to save the species?

By Parimal M. Rohit

BAJA CALIFORNIA — It’s the end of the world, as we know it. And I feel fine. R.E.M. uttered these words in its 1987-released hit, “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine),” which reached the 69th slot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The rock band from Athens, Georgia spawned one of its greatest hits from another similar sounding track it created, and “PSA” (or “Public Service Announcement”) was eventually released in 2003 as part of R.E.M.’s Bad Day album).

Neither R.E.M. nor any tracks from its folk rock anthology would appear to have anything in common with the vaquita, a shy and mild-mannered porpoise living in Mexico’s Gulf of California. Except, however, the vaquita’s world might come to an end within the next two to three years – and those in a position to save the species appear to feel just fine with maintaining the status quo.

Here’s a “PSA,” some 31 years after R.E.M.’s popular tune hit the charts: The entire population of vaquita is on the verge of having its own bad day – one of the permanent nature.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization – or UNESCO – postponed listing the critically endangered vaquita porpoise as “In-Danger,” despite the species residing in a World Heritage Site. UNESCO established an area of the Gulf of California – which is also referred to as the Sea of Cortez – as a World Heritage Site through 2025 specifically for the purpose of protecting the vaquita from extinction.

Yet UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee, for the second time since 2017, postponed declaring the vaquita – of which fewer than 30 remain – as being “In-Danger.”

Questions, Standards and (In) Action Why delay the listing of a critically endangered species as being in danger? Is there a threshold the vaquita needs to cross in order for it to earn UNESCO’s “In-Danger” blessing? When is it too late for any UNESCO action to be meaningful?

There are 54 properties currently listed as “In-Danger” (as decided by UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee).

The list of In-Danger properties includes any portion of a cultural or natural heritage considered to be “threatened by serious and specific dangers, such as the threat of disappearance caused by accelerated deterioration, large-scale public or private projects or rapid urban or tourist

The dwindling vaquita population won’t receive any extra assistance from UNESCO, as the international organization held off on declaring the species – which is rapidly declining and headed toward extinction – as “In Danger.”

The World Heritage Committee’s “In-Danger” (partial) list: • • • • • • • •

Everglades National Park in Florida Archaelogical Remains of the Bamiyan Valley in Afghanistan Historical Center of Vienna in Austria Mount Nimba Strict Nature Reserve in the Ivory Coast Okapi Wildlife Reserve in the Democratic Republic of Congo Lake Turkana National Parks in Kenya Rainforests of the Atsinanana in Madagascar Old City of Sana’a in Yemen

development projects.”

Earning an In-Danger designation could lead to increased international awareness of a threatened species and/or encouraged actions to prevent full-on extinction.

The vaquita population has declined by about 95 percent since 1997, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA. There are fewer than 30 vaquitas remaining in the world, down from 567 in 1997, according to NOAA’s estimates. One watchdog group, in March 2018, reported as few as 12 vaquitas remain.

Much of the vaquita’s rapid population decline has been attributed to illegal fishing activities in the upper stretches of the Gulf of California.

Various news reports and feature stories attributed totoaba demand, local fishermen needing work to survive and the Mexican mafia as additional contributing factors to the vaquita’s population decline.

It would appear UNESCO’s “In-Danger” threshold was met in the two aforementioned paragraphs.

Empathy could surely be cast for a Mexican fisherman turning a blind eye to illegal fishing activities because it means food on his family’s table. How many of us would go out of our way to save the vaquita from being a victim of bycatch if it means sacrificing a dinner for our family tonight? Yet the vaquita’s reality still exists: The current state of the habitat obviously shows vaquitas are “threatened by serious and specific dangers.” The species’ disappearance

and near extinction has repeatedly been acknowledged as being the result of illegal fishing activities, which certainly qualifies as “caused by … largescale public or private projects.”

Response of Environmental Groups Representatives from the Center for Biological Diversity and Animal Welfare Institute, who attended the June 28 World Heritage Committee meeting in Bahrain, claim the vaquita could be wholly extinct by 2021. They wondered whether the UNESCO committee caved into what it called rhetoric of the Mexican government in delaying the “In-Danger” designation.

Mexico requested UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee grant an extension on declaring the vaquita as “In-Danger,” as to allow the North American country to improve its efforts to protect the species.

Officials associated with UNESCO and the committee, in recommending a delay of “In-Danger” designation, said more time is needed to see whether current measures already in place would yield positive results.

Removing drift gillnets from the Sea of Cortez floor, for example, is a great first step, but could any UNESCO action help bring attention to the totoaba black market? The pursuit of totoaba swim bladders in Mexico for profitable sales in China – a 2017 article in The Guardian stated maws (what the swim bladder is called) is smuggled into the world’s most populous country and

sold for $20,000 per kilogram, on average – is responsible for the near-extinction of vaquita.

Yet do we have the luxury of time, here? Not if you believe the Center for Biological Diversity, who issued a statement shortly after the World Heritage Committee meeting in Bahrain and alleged the international body as almost guaranteeing the marine mammal’s extinction by not designating the vaquita as “In-Danger” last month.

“Today the [World Heritage Committee] opted again to ignore the vaquita’s plight and decided not even to discuss an ‘in-danger’ designation despite the porpoise’s population likely being reduced by about half since the committee’s last meeting, jeopardizing its very existence,” the Center for Biological Diversity statement said.

Noble Efforts Various efforts have been made, to be fair, to save the vaquita. Scientists attempted to create a safe space for vaquitas, allowing them the opportunity to survive and replenish in a controlled environment. The program, known as Vaquita CPR, failed. (CPR stood for Conservation, Protection and Recovery.)

Fishermen, interestingly enough, were offered cash money (by the Mexican government) to not fish in the vaquita’s habitat. Government officials also created a no-navigation zone with the vaquita habitat. Mexican businessman Carlos Slim and Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio, just the same, launched foundations to mobilize vaquita-saving efforts.

World Heritage Committee members and UNESCO officials, meanwhile, hope the Mexican government’s attempt to remove drift gillnets – the main culprit of vaquita deaths – will be sufficient action to prevent further deaths. It’s unclear, however, whether officials know where all the drift gillnets are located. It’s even less clear whether this action, by itself, is enough to prevent the extinction of the vaquita.

A Few Contacts Do you have input or a suggestion on the current vaquita crisis? Feel free to contact Alejandro Olivera (aolivera@biologicaldiversity.org) or Sarah Uhlemann (suhlemann@biologicaldiversity.org) or Marjorie Fishman (margie@awionline.org) at Animal Welfare Institute.

SAN DIEGO — Have you discovered the culinary bounty of the Ensenada region – its restaurants, taquerías, wineries and craft breweries?

One of the things Arv and I enjoy so much about living in SoCal is that it’s a relatively short run, by boat or car, to Ensenada, a delightful, tranquil town which, along with nearby Tijuana, is the epicenter of the Baja gastronomic revolution. Many Tijuana star chefs, including Javier Plascencia and Miguel Angel Guerrero, originator of Baja-Med cuisine, now have restaurants in Ensenada or the nearby Guadalupe Valley wine region.

Often, when we take our boat to Ensenada for a week or more, we’ll take the bus (actually, a motorcoach) back to the border, the trolley to San Diego and pick up our car before returning to Ensenada. That gives us maximum flexibility to explore the region.

Recently I was delighted to meet Scott Koenig, a fellow Mexico fan and foodie who runs the website A Gringo in Mexico, filled with insights about Mexican culture, travel and food. I often check his postings and newsletter (sign up at agringoinmexico. com) whenever I’m seeking new dining experiences in Baja.

Avalon City Council reprises talks for Baja California’s newest marina funding of “dinosaur” medical center set for official opening

After discussions going back and forth, council members seemed to favor placing a new measure on the ballot coming up in November’s election. This would give council members a little more than one month to meet deadlines, begging the question of whether the initiative would be completed in time.

Paret also stated the hospital is in the process of writing a survey to gain feedback from the community and garner support from the city.

AVALON — It was not too surprising the transit tax ballot measure, called Measure T, was defeated last April.

Locals had been outspoken about the possible financial impact of increasing ferry passenger taxes to fund rebuilding a new hospital center in Avalon.

SAN DIEGO — The mix of businesses occupying San Diego’s updated embarcadero area will soon be crystallized as the port district selected Retail Insite, or RI Properties, as the chosen commercial real estate broker for Seaport San Village.

RI Properties beat out four other companies who responded to the Port of San Diego’s Request for Proposals (RFP) to serve as the leasing intermediary for businesses who seek to

bring their respective services to prime waterfront real estate.

The Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners selected RI Properties as the commercial real estate broker at their July 17 meeting.

Leasing services will be provided for at least three years, with two one-year options to follow.

The current lease on Seaport Village is set to expire on Sept. 30, meaning RI Properties will start filling vacancies on Oct. 1.

Protea Property Management will manage Seaport Village on behalf of the port district.

Seaport Village occupies 14 acres on the San Diego waterfront and is adjacent to the Tuna Harbor on side and a marina on the other. The port district, in 2016, selected 1HWY1 to redevelop

SANTA CRUZ — The California Coastal Commission’s support of an existing shellfish cultivation facility just off the coast of Santa Barbara was attached with a plea to support domestic maritime farming efforts.

Commissioners unanimously approved Santa Barbara Maritime Company’s after-the-fact request to authorize a 26-acre shellfish cultivation venue already in operation, July 13.

“The existing and proposed facility would be used to plant, grow, and harvest Mediterranean mussels and Pacific oysters using of a system of 700-foot long submerged ‘longlines’ maintained in the water column at a depth of approximately 30-feet through a network of surface buoys and seafloor anchors,” Coastal Commission staff stated in a report to commissioners. “[Santa Barbara Maritime Co.] anticipates a total annual harvest of 400,000pounds of Mediterranean mussels and 250,000 oysters from the facility.”

Santa Barbara Maritime Co. began culturing shellfish in 2005 about three-quarters of a mile off the coast of Santa Barbara and is currently seeking to triple the size of its operations, according to Coastal Commission staff.

The maritime farming firm, however, had been operating without a Coastal Development Permit.

The expansion also calls for the use of 40 longlines for shellfish cultivation – Santa Barbara Mariculture Co. currently uses 12 such longlines. Oysters, for example, would be grown in plastic mesh bags, baskets and/or trays hanging from the longlines.

Bernard Friedman, who owns Santa Barbara Mariculture Co., told com-

missioners greater dialog is needed between regulators and maritime farmers so business operators such as himself know what’s expected of them.

“The complexity of getting a permit and operating a shellfish farm here in California is far from clear. I feel there are still huge gaps in dialog between the different permitting agencies,” Friedman told commissioners. “I feel you need to get together collectively to tell us shellfish farmers what you want and provide a vision and a pathway for our future.

“Where is California’s vision for responsible seafood production and who’s going to take that on,” Friedman continued.

Friedman added the United States should shift its focus away from foreign seafood production and instead support domestic maritime farmers such as him.

“We can’t spend our way to sustainability. Farming is a very valuable skill that needs to be nurtured,” Friedman told commissioners.

Coastal Commission staff pointed out Friedman’s company had failed to obtain the necessary authorizations to carry out its operations and also violated elements of the Coastal Act. The company, however, prepared its Coastal Development Permit application – which was approved by commissioners on July 13 – to obtain the necessary authorizations and establish regulatory compliance.

The expansion of Santa Barbara Maritime Company’s production area would also have to be noted on updated NOAA charts in order to keep commercial and recreational fishers aware of the shellfish farming operation.

“The proposed three-times expansion (from 26-acres to 72-acres) of the [Santa Barbara Maritime Co.] facility may not be anticipated or expected by those commercial and recreational users of the project area that are familiar with the facility at its current

size. As such, conflicts may arise initially while these users adjust to the new size and configuration of the facility,” Coastal Commission staff stated.

“To reduce the potential for this and for Santa Barbara Mariculture Co. hopes to expand its shellfish farming operation accidental loss off the Santa Barbara coast. The domestic maritime farming efforts would bring or damage of an infusion of Mediterranean mussels to California.

FEATURED EVENT

San Diego Bayfair brings a day of boat-racing jubilation to Mission Bay

By Devon Warren SAN DIEGO — The Mission Bay Area will host San Diego Bayfair, which has been taking place since 1964 and has grown to one of the most anticipated events of the year.

Bill Muncey, one of the great Unlimited hydroplane competitors, was a supporter of building the racecourse so the event could be held. Eventually, the 2.5 mile racecourse that had been designed was named after Muncey. It is also the longest and fastest racecourse on the H1 Unlimited hydroplace circuit, according to San Diego Bayfair’s official website.

The website states: “Over the years,

more than 5 million people have enjoyed the races on Mission Bay. Bayfair has grown from just a hydroplane race in 1964 to an event that featured drag boats, international competitors, live music and aerial demonstrations. Boat-

racing tours including Formula One tunnel boats, Grand Prix West, P1 USA, Pacific Offshore Powerboat Racing Association and various semi-professional classes have competed at Bayfair.”

Vendors will also be featured, including food, beer gardens and merchandise associated with the races. The Vendor Village does not require a ticket – the general public can peruse for free.

As a perk for boaters, there will be designated viewing spots (with a limited view) so those aboard vessels can watch the races.

General admission tickets are $20 for Friday and $30 for the following Saturday

Turn Up The Bass

White sea bass was the catch of the day aboard a recent Thunderbird fishing trip. Anglers aboard the trip also reeled in yellowtail and halibut. Capt. Jeff Markland, however, boasted the calico bass bite and reported it to be the best he’s seen in more than 15 years. The bites, according to Markland, were in the 4- to 6-pound range with limits for all aboard.

Thunderbird’s July 14 fish count was nine white sea bass, six yellowtail, limits of bass and one 35-pound halibut on deck.

Southern California fishing news First major hurdle for national fishing reform is in rear view mirror.

By Parimal M. Rohit

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Supporters of the Modern Fish Act (H.R. 200) earned a massive victory on July 11, when the House of Representatives voted to approve Modernizing Recreational Fisheries Management Act of 2017.

U.S. Senators are now reviewing H.R. 200, which, if signed into law, would affect the nation’s saltwater angling community.

The Modern Fish Act, which would make changes to a law governing fish in federal waters, has been hailed as either a necessary update to an archaic set of regulations or as being the exact opposite of modern.

House members were originally scheduled to vote on the Modern Fish Act on June 26, but the vote was delayed until after the Fourth of July recess. Votes were finally lodged on July 11, allowing the proposal to head to the Senate. The final vote was 222 in favor and 193 against.

H.R. 200 was referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation shortly after it made it out of the House.

Proponents of the bill say the Modern Fish Act would stabilize and strengthen recreational fishing activities nationwide by facilitating flexibility in fishery management.

“The Modern Fish Act seeks to change recreational fishing regulations and permit more regulation on the state level. It has bipartisan support, but is opposed by some commercial fishing interests and conservation organizations,” John Richard Chapman

OXNARD — Yellowtail bites continue to pop up here and there in the Summer of ’18, per recent fish counts. Angler Butch Flaata of Shadow Hills recently caught a yellowtail of his own while fishing aboard a charter in the Channel Islands area.

The 35-pound catch was made aboard Capt. Chris Volaski’s New Hustler out of Hook’s Landing in Oxnard.

There have been plenty of fish biting, overall, off the Ventura County coast, Hook’s Landing reported on July 15. The 37 anglers on two boats that day caught 370 rockfish, 240 whitefish, seven sheephead, six calico bass, three sculpin, one halibut, one leopard shark and one yellowtail.

Modern Fish Act clears House of Reps, moves to U.S. Senate

The U.S. Senate is now weighing in on the Modern Fish Act, which proponents say would strengthen recreational fishing activities nationwide. House members approved the bill by a 222-193 vote on July 11.

III, an attorney with Holland and Knight, wrote on his law firm’s blog about H.R. 200’s House passage.

Chapman added 135 marine industry executives expressed their support of the Modern Fish Act, which would alter federal regulations governing recreational saltwater anglers, to members of the House.

“The Modern Fish Act … would eliminate federally-set recreational annual catch limits for fish species that are not currently overfished,” Chapman wrote on his blog. “Proponents laud that it will provide recreational anglers reasonable access to public resources, while ensuring sustainable fisheries.”

The Fort Lauderdale attorney who specializes in litigation, dispute resolution and condominium development acknowledged the Modern Fish Act’s opposition in his blog post.

“Opponents of the bill argue that it lacks the certainty imposed by the current regulations, and creates too many unclear exceptions to mandatory timelines to rebuild overfished stocks.

These mandatory timelines exist in the current law under the MagnusonStevens Act,” Chapman wrote.

“Further uncertainties are highlighted by the bill’s detractors, such as whether states have the ability to effectively manage fish that inhabit and

travel across state lines and whether recreational data will be reliable for conservation decisions going forward,” the Holland and Knight attorney continued.

Audubon Pennsylvania, a nonprofit aiming to “conserve and restore natural ecosystems,” claimed the Modern Fish Act would be harmful to coastal communities if enacted as currently proposed.

“This bill undermines the science-based management of fisheries that has kept fish populations stable in America for years, and is the reason that the U.S. has emerged as the world leader in sustainable fisheries management,” Audubon Pennsylvania said about the Modern Fish Act through an official statement shortly after the House of Representatives vote. “If the Modern Fish Act is implemented, and overfishing occurs, there would be no adequate management procedures in place. The result: devastated fish populations and starving seabirds and marine wildlife that depend on them.”

It is unclear when the full Senate would vote on H.R. 200. The bill would go to Pres. Donald J. Trump’s desk for signature only of both houses of Congress come to terms on a final proposal.

San Diego Report

Summer offshore bites highlighted by dorado, striped marlin, tuna and yellowtail

By Bob Vanian

SAN DIEGO — The past couple of weeks have seen a lot of yellowfin tuna and bluefin tuna showing on the local offshore fishing grounds. Anglers have been targeting those species with some success and have also had a few Dorado and some good yellowtail biting to supplement the catches of tuna. The bluefin tuna and yellowfin tuna have been present in large numbers but the bite is challenging.

With the tuna often being touchy biters, the tuna fish counts are often not representative of the large volume of fish that are being found in local offshore waters. If the bluefin and yellowfin change their habits and start biting better, there are enough tuna around to provide some epic fishing. The way it is now, there is a chance at catching a tuna of a lifetime by way of one of the jumbo sized bluefin tuna. In most instances you have to work hard and put in a lot of hours of fishing to get one of those jumbos to bite.

The bluefin tuna have ranged in size from 25 to 300+ pounds. The yellowfin tuna have been running from 8 to 30 pounds, with most in the 12- to 25-pound range. The best areas for fishing for the big bluefin tuna has been in the areas of the 86 Fathom Spot, 57 Fathom Spot and the 190 Fathom Spot off the back side of San Clemente Island. The best area for the mixed size bluefin tuna and for yellowfin tuna

has been in the area of the ridge of the San Clemente Canyon while fishing between the 43 Fathom Spot and Pyramid Head at San Clemente Island.

In a bit closer to the coast, there has also been some bluefin tuna and yellowfin tuna activity for boats fishing the region of the 181 Spot, 289 Spot and 182 Spot.

The third weekend of July saw a new development with good numbers of kelp paddie yellowtail biting together with a few dorado, yellowfin tuna and bluefin tuna for boats fishing the area of the 371 Bank, Upper Hidden Bank and the area below the 475 Knuckle. A lot of skippers and anglers are hoping this new influx of fish will develop into a body of fish are better biting fish than the tuna that are currently up by San Clemente Island and the 43 Fathom Spot.

The bluefin tuna have been biting on kite trolled Yummy Flyers, sardines, live squid, mackerel, Colt Snipers, Flat Fall jigs and poppers. The best bet for targeting the jumbo-sized bluefin has been using the kite trolled Yummy Flyers.

Yellowfin tuna have been biting on sardines, poppers, Flat Fall jigs, Colt Snipers, trolled Rapalas and trolling feathers. Most of the action originates in areas where there are spots of breaking or foaming fish showing and in areas where Skippers are getting meter marks with their fathometers or scanning sonar.

Those interested in fishing for striped marlin are excited to see more of the species arriving in local offshore waters. The past weekend saw an influx

of striped marlin. Two marlins were caught and released by boats fishing between Avalon and the Avalon Bank at Catalina. Another marlin was caught and released by a boat around the 152 Spot off the East End of Catalina. In the San Diego region, two striped marlins caught by boats fishing around the 302 Spot outside of Los Coronado Islands.

The surface fishing at Los Coronado Islands has been providing pretty good to sometimes good surface fishing for a mix of yellowtail, bonito, barracuda and calico bass. There have also been occasional showings of bluefin tuna reported at the South Kelp Ridge, the lighthouse at the south tip of South Island and the 5 Minute Kelp.

Best areas for yellowtail and bonito have been at the Middle Grounds and at spots along the weather side of North Island such as Pukey Point and the Keyhole at the south tip of North Island.

Look for more of a mixed bag catch of yellowtail, bonito, barracuda and calico bass while fishing spots such as the Middle Grounds, the Ribbon Kelp, the 5 Minute Kelp and the South Kelp Ridge.

There has been some off color water moving around at the Islands and finding an area where there is good clean looking water can be a key to finding the best numbers of biting fish.

Good ways to locate yellowtail are by meter marks, sonar marks, spots of working birds, strikes on trolled Rapalas and strikes on slow trolled sardines.

Once located, flylined live sardines have been the best bait.

The fishing along the San Diego

County coast has been good for a mix of calico bass, sand bass, rockfish and sculpin. Boats fishing the Point Loma Kelp Beds and the kelp at the upper end of La Jolla have also been picking up a few barracuda and an occasional yellowtail. The most productive kelp bed spots along the San Diego County coast for calico bass have been the Point Loma Kelp Beds, the upper end of La Jolla, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Leucadia, Carlsbad, the Barn Kelp, Box Canyon and San Onofre.

Capt. Joe Cacciola of the Sea Star with Sea Star Sportfishing and the Oceanside Sea Center reports they have been having good calico bass fishing while working kelp bed areas between Carlsbad and Solana Beach. Cacciola said the water has been very warm and at times has been warmer to 76 degrees.

The summer fishing season is rolling right along and there are a lot of fun fish to target be it offshore, at the local islands or along the coast. Do not let the summer season pass you by without getting out on the water to do some fishing! Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!

Bob Vanian is the voice, writer and researcher of the San Diego-based internet fish report service called 976-Bite which can be found at www.976bite. com. Vanian also provides anglers with a personal fish report service over the telephone at (\619-226-8218. He always welcomes your fish reports at that same phone number or at bob976bite@aol. com.

TIGHT LINES — By Parimal M. Rohit

State Water Board could increase water flows in Delta region SACRAMENTO — California’s State Water Resources Control Board will consider a final draft of a plan to increase water flows through the Lower San Joaquin River and its tributaries in August, it was announced.

The drafted plan, according to state water officials, would prevent an ecological crisis and the total collapse of fisheries.

State officials said the Bay-Delta Water Quality Control Plan for the Lower San Joaquin River and Southern Delta was the result of nine years of hearings, public outreach and research; more than 1,400 comment letters were reportedly reviewed.

“The San Francisco Bay-Delta is an ecosystem in crisis. The Board’s challenge is to balance multiple valuable uses of water – for fish and wildlife, agriculture, urban, recreation, and other uses,” State Water Board Chair Felicia Marcus said in a released statement. “Californians want a healthy environment, healthy agriculture, and healthy communities, not one at the expense of the others. That requires the water wars to yield to collective efforts to help fish and wildlife through voluntary action, which the proposed plan seeks to reward.”

The state plan proposes a 40-percent unimpaired flow requirement, which would be enough to “improve conditions for fish and wildlife considerably without more challenging impacts to other water users.”

“Currently, flows remaining in the rivers can run as low as 10 to 20 percent of unimpaired flow at critical times of the year and range from 21 to 40 percent on average for the three tributaries,” state water officials said.

The adult Chinook salmon population in the Delta region is among the species on “the brink of extinction,” according to state water officials. There were nearly 70,000 adult Chinook salmon in the San Joaquin basin in 1984. The population reportedly dropped to 40,000 in 2010 and 8,000 in 2014.

An Associated Press news report on the Water Board plan shortly after it was announced revealed the plan is met with mixed reactions, with agricultural interests against the proposal on one side and fishing advocacy groups searching for details of how increased water flows would help deliver more fish.

(Clockwise from bottom left) Anglers aboard a half-day fishing trip out of Stardust Sportfishing in Santa Barbara caught three sheephead – including the one shown here – on July 23. The 25 anglers on that trip also had 167 rockfish, 112 whitefish and one sand bass. Catalina yellows and bonito were the catches of the day aboard a July 24 excursion aboard Clemente out of Dana Wharf Sportfishing. Bluefin tuna were reported aboard Thunderbird out of Newport Landing Sportfishing on July 18. Ranger 85 Sportfishing, meanwhile, shared a photo on its Facebook page of Elsa Flores catching a 221-pound bluefin on July 23.

SAN DIEGO — The Coastal Conservation Association of California, or CCA-CAL, announced Chris Arechaederra as its new assistant director. Arechaederra will help the association grow its presence in California and develop new chapters along the way.

A statement on Arechaederra’s elevation stated the assistant director role oversees chapter development, communications, fundraising, marketing, membership, public relations and social media.

Proposed lead fishing tackle bill officially dead Anglers avoid possible ban on common tackle box item, but similar legislation could be proposed later.

By Parimal M. Rohit SACRAMENTO — A bill introduced on the Assembly floor proposing to ban lead fishing weights in California is no more, as the legislation was re-written as a possible regulation of bulk energy storage.

Assembly Bill 2787, which was proposed by Democratic lawmaker Bill Quirk, initially called for an all-out ban on lead fishing weights in California waters. Anglers and recreational fishing group immediately pushed back on the proposal, arguing Quirk’s bill was not based on any scientific studies or data showing the commonly used tackle box item was harmful to the environment.

Quirk’s bill, as originally drafted, referred to lead fishing weight bans in other states but did not delve into whether the tackle box item would negatively affect marine life in California.

AB 2787 soon was later altered to call for a study on the effects of lead fishing weights on local and regional waterways and whether such effects were harmful.

The bill would be re-written once again, this time shifting away from fishing policy and instead crafted as a proposal on energy regulation.

Anglers won’t face any studies or bans on lead fishing weights in 2018 and into 2019. It is possible, of course, for a lead fishing weight study or ban to be introduced during the 2019-2020 legislative session.

Groups such as the American Sportfishing Association, California Association for Recreational Fishing, California Sportfishing League, California Conservation Association, National Marina Manufacturers Association and Dana Wharf Sportfishing and Whale Watching opposed AB 2787.

Communications, marketing, promotions and public relations are a part of Arechaederra’s professional experience. Arechaederra also grew up in the fishing world, regularly dropping lines between Channel Islands and Baja California.

Arechaederra joins CCA-CAL after spending some time with Black Diamond Sportfishing, a 6-pack charter operation out of Fisherman’s Landing in San Diego.

He earned his Bachelor’s degree in English from San Diego State University.

Chris Arechaederra will manage CCA-CAL’s chapter development and communications, among other roles.

CCA-CAL is part of the national

CCC-CAL photo

Chris Arechaederra named as CCA-CAL’s assistant director network of Coastal Conservation Association, which boasts 126,000plus members. The California chapter focuses on saltwater fishing and marine conservation.

“Our three priorities are to: enhance the habitat off the coast of California; enhance populations of fish in California; and be the advocate for the California Saltwater Angler,” the CCACAL statement on Arechaederra’s hire said.

Wayne Kotow currently serves as CCA-CAL’s executive director.

SALTWATER OCEAN FISHING REPORT

By Terrence Berg 976-TUNA.com SAN DIEGO OFFSHORE AMAZING: From the Coronado Islands to the offshore banks south of San Clemente and south into the waters of northern Baja, the fishing for pelagic species is approaching wide open for the San Diego fleet.

The full- to two-day trips are seeing good scores of yellowtail, yellowfin tuna, and bluefin tuna, with some of the schools of the bluefin holding fish topping 200 pounds.

Some bluefin scores from this week. On July 16, Prowler out of Seaforth Sportfishing had 14 anglers on an overnight trip and caught five bluefin tuna. A mid-day July 18 report from anglers on this boat reported two giant bluefin larger than 200 pounds, including one that taped out at 290 pounds.

The new New Lo-An, on a two-day trip out of Point Loma, also reported in mid-day July 18, and the anglers on board had five bluefin from 160 to 200 pounds and a number of smaller fish in the 40-pound class. On the July 16 1.5-day trip with 33 anglers, the boat returned with three bluefin tuna and one yellowfin. Old Glory out of H&M Landing had 15 anglers on an overnight trip and caught 11 bluefin and two yellowfin.

Pacific Queen out of Fisherman’s Landing had 33 anglers on its July 17 1.5-day trip and caught 24 bluefin and 10 yellowfin. Dominator out of Point Loma Sportfishing had 13 anglers on an overnight trip and landed 13 yellowfin tuna on July 17.

But even the one-day boats are finding pretty incredible mixed action on yellowfin, smaller bluefin, and yellowtail fishing just off the Coronado Islands.

Grande out of H&M Landing ran a full-day trip with 36 anglers on July 17 and caught one bluefin tuna, 26 yellowtails, 13 rockfish, 10 bonito, seven calicos, and four barracuda. Liberty out of Fisherman’s Landing had 20 anglers on a full-day trip and landed 10 bluefin and five yellowfin. Mission Belle, out of Point Loma Sportfishing had 14 anglers on a full-day trip July 17 and landed 29 yellowtails, 50 calico bass, 16 bonito, and eight rockfish.

A few of the boats from the Los Angeles and Orange County landings are also making the run to the offshore grounds off Clemente. Fortune out of 22nd Street Landing had 19 anglers on a 1.5-day trip and landed four of the bigger bluefin.

LOS ANGELES-ORANGE COUNTY UPDATE: There continues to be a decent pick on quality yellowtail, along with a few white sea bass and some quality halibut on the overnight trips to San Clemente Island.

Freedom out of 22nd Street Landing was on an overnight trip July 17 to Clemente, and the 18 anglers on board had one yellowtail, limits of 90 quality calico bass, 35 sheephead, 12 whitefish, and three barracuda. The mid-day report from the July 18 trip showed there were more than 10 quality yellowtails, a few 40-pound class halibut, and some white sea bass.

Thunderbird out of Davey’s Locker has been running overnight trips to Clemente this week.

On July 17, 26 anglers landed two quality yel-

And you could win a pair of Black Flys Sunglasses

lowtails, one white sea bass, and one barracuda.

On July 16, the 18 anglers on board had just one yellowtail and one white sea bass.

The three-quarter- and full-day boats running to Catalina Island or fishing the nearshore waters with the half-day fleet have been picking away at the bottom fish and bass, with a pretty fair bite (with a lot of short bass). There are also some yellowtail showing at Catalina and the occasional flurry of yellowtail action along the coastal kelp.

Freelance out of Davey’s Locker had 80 anglers on a three-quarter-day trip to Catalina and landed three yellowtails, 39 whitefish, 31 perch, 12 bonito, 10 calico bass, three barracuda, and three sheephead. Spitfire out of Marina del Rey Sportfishing had just five anglers on a threequarter-day trip July 17 and had limits of quality calico bass. New Del Mar, also out of Marina del Rey, had 42 anglers on a half-day trip July 17 and caught 52 keeper calico bass, 12 whitefish, eight sand bass, eight sculpin, and three bonus halibut.

OXNARD TO SANTA BARBARA UPDATE: The yellowtail continue to show in pretty fair numbers in the northern Channel Islands, but the bite has slowed considerably from last week as we headed into the new moon. Now, the action has reverted to a mixed bag bite, and many skippers are targeting the yellows and calicos early and then falling back on bottom fish to fill sacks before heading in. Overall, very good fishing continues.

At Channel Islands Sportfishing in Oxnard on July 17, Aloha Spirit had 22 anglers on a full-day trip and landed just two yellowtails, 71 rockfish,

35 whitefish, three calico bass, two barracuda, and one bonito. Speed Twin had 37 anglers on its July 17 half-day trip and landed 160 whitefish, 82 rockfish, 15 sculpin, six sheephead, and two calicos. Pacific Islander was on a 1.5-day trip with 23 anglers and landed 10 yellowtails, limits of 230 rockfish, 25 whitefish, eight lingcod, seven barracuda, six sheephead, two calico bass, and one sole.
