BIZARRE

Alaskan grocer and employees trek 14 hours by boat to bring food to local store

By Lindsey Glasgow pandemic and recent severe storms that damaged the city’s dock have brought the ferry service to a complete halt.

Parker told The Washington Post, about two years ago as a backup plan he decided to buy a 96foot landing craft to haul goods between Juneau and Gustavus. The barge has come in handy now that the city is cut off from ferry service.

“It’s like Christmas when the load gets here,” Parker told The Hustle. “Everyone is waiting for it. Word gets out, and they all seem to know when it’s coming.”

There have also been periodic updates on the store’s Facebook page.

“Well the weather here on the beach is a bit nicer than Lynn Canal but the Claim Jumper just turned the corner toward Gustavus with freight, fresh groceries and lumber,” Icy Strait Wholesale wrote in an April 10 post. “And I hear a rumor there are a few hundred dozen eggs on board just in time for Easter!”

G US TAV U S , A L A S K A —The Coronavirus has brought new challenges for many rural and remote cities where an arduous supply chain already exists.

In Gustavus, Alaska, the city’s only grocer and his team of employees have been making a 14-hour boat trip to bring food to their small town, which is only reachable by boat or plane.

The situation playing out at Toshua Parker’s Icy Strait Wholesale or Toshco as its known by locals, has made several national publications in recent weeks.

For the past several months, Parker and his staff have been making the boat trip almost every week to the Costco in Juneau, the state’s capital 50 miles away, to restock on essential food and supplies to stock their shelves. Icy Strait Wholesale is the only grocery store in Gustavus, which is home to 450 residents.

Parker previously received shipments from Costco via Alaska’s ferry system. Last winter, Alaska legislators cut ferry service to Gustavus. The

Toshua Parker, owner of Toscho – Icy Strait Wholesale, is using his own barge to haul groceries, including the coveted toilet paper, between the Alaskan capital and his small town of Gustavus amid a shut down in ferry service.

FAST FACTS

Morro Rock: Gibraltar of the Pacific

By Parimal M. Rohit MORRO BAY—The Southern Coast of the Iberian Peninsula and the Central Coast of California have something in common: a tall, mounded rock formation which serves as a natural phenomenon and tourist attraction.

California boaters, thankfully, don’t have to navigate all the way to Gibraltar to take in one of nature’s greatest rock forms. Morro Rock is certainly one of California’s most recognizable landmarks.

It stands 576 feet tall and sits where California meets the Pacific Ocean. It was declared a historical landmark in the late 1960s; the designation meant Morro Rock would no longer be quarried, something which had been happening since the 1800s.

Morro Rock, according to the website, morrobay.org, came into existence about 23 million years ago. It was part of a volcanic network known as Nine Sisters; the network extended from Morro Bay to San Luis Obispo.

The rock – not to be confused with the tourist attraction jail in the San Francisco Bay – is also home to the peregrine falcon, one of North America’s largest falcons. The Morro Bay National Estuary Program says peregrine falcons can reach a wingspan of 43 inches.

“Peregrine falcons are also the fastest [animals] in the world,” the Morro Bay National Estuary Program website states about the bird. “During their characteristic high-speed hunting dive – called a stoop – they have been clocked at 242 mph.”

Peregrine falcons were added to the California Endangered Species List in 1970, according to the Morro Bay National Estuary Program website.

“There were only five pairs left in the state and Morro Rock was one of only two remaining nesting sites in San Luis Obispo County,” the website stated.

The apex bird was taken off the Federal Endangered Species List in 1999 and California Endangered Species List in 2009.

Climbing on any portion of Morro Rock, by the way, is prohibited.

COMMUNITY EDITORIAL

Balloons Floating Away with the Tide Julia Chambers, 12-yearold member of a boating family, pens a short editorial about mylar graduations balloons found in the water.

By Julia Chambers SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — As we motored home

from a weekend trip at Santa Catalina Island, we came across a mylar graduation balloon floating away with the tide. It wasn’t too shocking, as we normally found one or two balloons on trips like this.

However, in the next two hours, we came across fifty more balloons scattered across the surface, one floating in the center of a dolphin pod. Even more shockingly, we learned that many other boats had also

collected an extensive amount of balloons.

When most people release a balloon (or balloons) into the air, it never crosses their mind that the balloon will eventually come down, usually in the middle of the ocean. Mistaken for food, these balloons are consumed by sea creatures, and the balloon slowly and painfully kills them. Even ‘biodegradable balloons’ still take years to break down, and in that time, the balloon will have likely already been consumed. Even worse are the mylar balloons, made out of synthetic nylon material coated in metal, and causes pollution when the metal flakes off. The production of making mylar balloons is extremely pollutant, and they will never biodegrade, which means that if they are not consumed by animals, the balloons will be sitting at the bottom of the ocean hundreds of years longer than the releaser of the balloon will live.

Is all this really worth one moment of celebration? Is it worth the death of a being in this world?

SACRAMENTO —California leg-

islators are considering a proposal to protect the state’s biodiversity, but at least one group of outdoors enthusiasts don’t seem to be thrilled about a bill calling for the conservation of marine life in at least 30 percent of local and ocean waters.

Assembly member Ash Kalra (D-San Jose) introduced Assembly Bill 3030 in February and proposed for California to establish several conservation goals by 2030. Those goals: protect at least 30 percent of land areas and waters within California; protect at least 30 percent of waters off the coast of California; and, support efforts to protect at least 30 percent of the world’s land areas, waters and oceans.

“California faces a … biodiversity and climate crisis, with nature in a steep decline and greenhouse gas emissions not declining at the rate scientists say is needed in the United States and worldwide,” the language of AB 3030 stated. “Scientists are documenting a rapid loss of natural areas and wildlife in California, the United States, and throughout the world.”

AB 3030 stated the Unit-

ed States has lost more than 1.5 million acres of natural areas to development between 2001 and 2017. As many as 1 million plant and animal species are threatened with extinction in the coming decades, due to climate change, land conversion, water diversion, development, invasive species and pollution, Kalra’s bill continued.

“The Intergovernmental Science Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services found that more than 500,000 terrestrial species have insufficient habitat for long-term survival without habitat restoration,” Kalra’s bill continued, as to explain the need for AB 3030’s conservation call.

Kalra also stated California “lost more than 1 million acres of natural area” between 2001 and 2017.

MARINE GROUP BOAT WORKS TO CONTINUE IMPOUNDS FOR PORT DISTRICT Port of San Diego green lights a fiveyear contract – worth $3,550,000 – for boating company to process impounded vessels.

By Parimal M. Rohit

S A N D I E G O —A shorthanded board

approved a new agreement, May 19, to authorize Marine Group Boat Works to process abandoned or impounded vessels through June 2025. The five-year, $3.55 million contract was part of the Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners’ consent calendar; the six commissioners present at the May 19 teleconference meeting unanimously approved the agreement.

The port district does have an agree-

OXNARD GRANTED EXTENSION ON PUBLIC HEARING FOR FISHERMAN’S WHARF PROJECT Covid-19 pandemic gives Coastal Commission reason to delay consideration of project plans at a later date.

By Parimal M. Rohit

OXNARD —A public hearing on the city of Oxnard’s request to build taller and denser buildings at Channel Islands Harbor, while also modifying other uses at the waterfront’s Fisherman’s Wharf site, was delayed by the California Coastal Commission, May 14.

Commissioners, at the recommendation of Coastal Commission staff, ap-

ment with Marine Group Boat Works to perform abandoned and impounded vessel services, but the current relationship expires on June 30. The newly approved agreement would begin on July 1 and continue through June 30, 2025.

Marine Group Boat Works was the only responsive bid for the contract – even though port district staff solicited bids from 671 potential service providers. “[Port district]staff believes that one bidder is acceptable, as this is a specialized service that requires waterside storage sufficient to store up to 25 vessels, the ability to accept vessels anytime, vessel lifts, heavy equipment, knowledge of the California Harbors & Navigation Code

and the Department of Motor Vehicle impounded vessel procedures, and a thorough understanding of the environmental regulations to support proper storage and disposal of vessels,” a port district staff report to commissioners stated.

A port district-owned lot where abandoned or impounded vessels are stored also happens to be adjacent to Marine Group Boat Works’s National City location, making it easy to remove a boat from the water and into land storage without having to use public roadways.

The National City storage facility has a capacity of 40 vessels, according to port district staff.

Port district staff added about four vessels per month are processed under its “Impounded Vessel agreement,” on average, through lien sale or demolition.

“The total cost of in-water storage, transportation to the district lot, and demolition and disposal ranges from $11,700 to $19,000 per vessel, depending on its size,” port district staff said in its report to commissioners. “This agreement allows for the receipt, storage, haulout, transportation, and demolition of 55 vessels per year at an average cost over the life of the agreement at $12,425 each.

This is an as-needed agreement with no minimum expenditure per term.”

A California Department of Boating and Waterways grant allows the port district to be reimbursed for vessel demolition costs – up to $200,000. The grant expires on Sept. 30, 2021.

There are six line-item costs associated with vessel demolition: vessel acceptance and storage; inventory; haul-out; transportation from port district lot; lay down; and, demolition and disposal.

Marine Boat Works Group would receive $668,573.70 in the first year of the contract; the amount would increase by about $20,000 each year until the fifth year of the deal. The final year of the contract is worth $752,937.02.

proved the hearing extension because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Oxnard submitted a request to amend its Land Use Plan (LUP) to allow for taller and denser buildings on the Channel Islands Harbor waterfront to the Coastal Commission on Jan. 27. Coastal Commission staff, about two weeks later, determined the request was proper and legally adequate. A public hearing on the LUP amendment was scheduled to occur on June 18.

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, however, would make it difficult for a public hearing on the LUP amendment proposal to be heard on June 18.

The Coastal Act allows for the hearing to be extended for good cause, for up to one year. Coastal Commission staff sought an extension, “in order to allow adequate time to review and analyze the amendment and to allow greater scheduling flexibility,” according to a staff report. “[Coastal Commission] staff recommends that the commission extend [the public hearing] deadline for a full year, as provided by the Coastal Act, to allow the subject amendment to be brought to a

hearing at a later date,” the Coastal Commission staff report stated.

Newsom’s executive order, issued on March 4, declared a state of emergency in California, as a result of the threat of Covid-19. Another executive order, issued on April 16, applied the state of emergency to Coastal Commission meetings.

“Despite sustained efforts, Covid-19 continues to spread and is impacting nearly all sectors of California,” the order stated. “Illness due to Covid-19 and physical distancing requirements imposed to limit the spread of the virus impede the ability of the California Coastal Commission, the State Water Resources Control Board, member of the public and others to meet certain time limits.”

Oxnard and Ventura County have been trying to redevelop Fisherman’s Wharf and Channel Islands Harbor since the mid-2000s. Much of the infrastructure at Fisherman’s Wharf and the harbor is aging and visibly dilapidated. Most recent plans call for the harbor waterfront to allow for residential uses at Fisherman’s Wharf and taller buildings along or near the waterfront. Retail uses and public walkways are also proposed.

Standing Watch From page 5

California have already declined by 20 percent,” AB 3030 continued. “Climate change is accelerating the decline of nature in California and the United States.

The existing protections for land, water, the ocean and wildlife in California … are insufficient to prevent further decline of nature. Conserving and restoring nature is one of the most efficient and cost-effective strategies for fighting climate change.”

Recreational fishing groups, however, aren’t buying into the mission and vision of AB 3030. Keep America Fishing, for example, posted its opposition to Kalra’s bill on its website. The opposition also calls for anglers to campaign against the bill.

“While the bill is presumably well-intentioned, California already has some of the nation’s most stringent environmental laws and protections,” the Keep America Fishing take action page on AB 3030 stated. “In its current form, this legislation poses a significant threat to recreational fishing access to the state. Requiring the state to arbitrarily ‘protect’ thirty percent of the ocean will almost certainly lead to large-scale closures to recreational fishing.”

Staff at Keep America Fishing drafted a campaign letter for individuals to send to members of the Assembly, in response to AB 3030.

“This sweeping bill would set a goal of conserving at least thirty percent of California’s lands and waters by 2030,” a portion of the draft letter stated. “However, current management of fishery resources in waters off the coast of California already provide the ‘protections’ being sought in the bill, both in percentage scope and mission. While the goals outlined in AB 3030 are potentially laudable, this goal has already been accomplished in California’s marine environment at or more than 30 percent.”

Coastal Conservation Association of California also campaigned against AB 3030 on its Facebook page. The May 30 post stated: “AB 3030 is bad legislation.”

“Think of [AB 3030] as MLPA 2.0 for the ocean,” the Facebook post stated. “It is very broad and extremely ambiguous.

The authors have refused to explain how they define protected or protection. They cannot calculate or define what is currently considered protected on land or ocean.”

Kalra, in a statement published in the Assembly Appropriations Committee’s May 31 legislative analysis, said having AB 3030 on the state’s books would give California the resources it needs to preserve biodiversity.

“A statutory commitment from California to protect a representative 30 percent of our lands, waters, and oceans in the next decade will help ensure that biodiversity can thrive, so that all Californians can enjoy the benefits that nature provides, and that wild areas can continue to enhance the strength and well-being of our state and the planet,” Kalra said. “With AB 3030, California will continue to lead by example by implementing policies and initiatives that we know can maintain and preserve California’s

biodiversity.”

The May 31 legislative analysis of AB 3030 also said the bill, if implemented, would be costly in the short term but could eventually prove to be beneficial and cost effective.

“Just one part of one task, developing a recovery strategy for the 270 threatened and endangered species (not including plants) listed under CESA, would cost [more than] $50 million,” the May 31 legislative analysis stated. “It is also reasonable to assume there would be savings realized from having a healthier ecosystem. For example, in water treatment costs, health care costs and through carbon sequestration.”

NEWPORT BEACH—Half pontoon boat, half bicycle, Newport Harbor newcomer Newport Beach Brew Boat hopes to create a fun and unique experience out on the water with music, drinks and good friends.

“I love being out on the water just as anyone else does and I love being around people and I feel like this is a fun way to do both and explore my entrepreneurship goals,” said Michael Kapusta, one of Newport Beach Brew Boat’s owning partners.

The recently launched business offers 90-minute tours of the harbor for up to 16 passengers. Docked behind the Peninsula Kitchen and Bar at 2406 Newport Blvd, the bright green and blue cycle boat features a large peddle wheel in the back, which is human-powered by 10 peddle seats onboard.

The boat is also equipped with a small motor for when passengers

BREW BOAT peddling in

Newport Beach Harbor

Newport Beach Brew Boat allows passengers to bring beer, wine, cider and canned mixed cocktails aboard for a 90-minute cruise around Newport Beach Harbor with a licensed Master Captain.

The cycle boat is operating under extra precautions to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Capacity has been reduced from 16 to 10 to allow passengers to social distance, the captain is required to wear a face mask and they are spending extra time disinfecting the boat.

get tired of peddling. The 31-foot pontoon cycle boat is modeled after the land-based pedal taverns popular in many cities.

The brew boat supplies a captain, who is certified with a U.S. Coast Guard Master Captain License and one deck hand, who according to the website, makes “sure you have a cold beverage in your hand at all times.”

The boat does not provide drinks or food, but passengers can bring their own beer, wine, cider or canned cocktails to drink while cruising the harbor. Due to Covid-19 related regulations, right now, passengers can only book a private tour, but the brew boat will eventually also offer public tours, where individuals can pay per seat.

“It’s meant to be fun, interactive, unique,” said Kapusta. “It’s something different, there’s nothing like it in Orange County.”

Kapusta runs the business with Chris Ferren-Cirinio and Matt See, who run two similar, successful operations in Sacramento - Sac Brew Boat and Sac Brew Bike.

“They were looking to expand their business down into Southern California and it was kind of just a perfect match,” Kapusta said, who runs most of the daily operations in Newport Beach Harbor.

Ferren-Cirinio and See have been operating Sac Brew Boat for about three years; they now have two boats operating on the Sacramento River. Ferren-Cirinio said they were connected to Kapusta through the boat builder.

“So we just kind of discussed his operation and what it would kind of take to get going and he was asking me for some advice, which I was just happily there to give him,” Ferren-Cirinio said over the phone.

He said eventually the discussions evolved into a business partnership and friendship.

There are cycle-powered boats in major cities across the U.S. including New York, Florida, Chicago, Cleveland and Oregon, but Newport Brew Boat is the first operation in Southern California.

The business partners have been working on getting permits and the operation up and running since July 2018; Kapusta and Ferren-Cirinio presented to the Newport Beach Harbor Commissioners in November 2019. Newport Beach Brew Boat took the first tour out over the Memorial Day weekend and is now officially open for bookings.

Newport Beach Brew Boat, along with all other businesses, is navigating the new “normal” brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. Kapusta said it has been challenging to open a business during this time, but they have been able to successfully run tours with safeguards in place.

“We’ve restricted our capacity, we have our crew wearing masks, we have a giant screen up there for our captain, we want to social distance as much as possible,” Kapusta said.

Capacity is currently limited to 10 passengers and private tours only. Kapusta said they provide hand sanitizer onboard and they spend extra time disinfecting the boat after each trip.

Covid-19 is not stopping water lovers from getting out; Kapusta said during these first few weekends of operation, the harbor has been packed.

“I’ve heard people say that there were as many boats out there as Fourth of July last year,” Kapusta said.

Both Kapusta and Ferren-Cirinio said they hope to eventually expand in Southern California and add more brew boats.

“I always saw myself owning a business that was always the goal,” Kapusta said.

Following a tour of the manufacturing facility, Secretary Ross indicated good news is ahead for South Atlantic red snapper and that his office is finalizing the rule requiring descending devices onboard vessels targeting snapper grouper in the South Atlantic.

On April 27, a coalition of recreational fishing and boating organizations supported the descending device rule in a public comment letter. One problem has been the rate at which these fish die after they are released due to the effects of barotrauma, a condition that results from increased pressure of internal gasses as deep-water fish are brought rapidly to the surface. A descending device is a weighted hook, lip clamp, or box that will hold the fish while it is lowered to a sufficient depth to recover from the effects of barotrauma and release the fish.

During the visit, Secretary Ross spoke with the group about the challenges facing the marine industry amid the COVID-19 pandemic and actions the Administration could take to promote recreational access and spur economic growth. Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) also participated in the roundtable.

Representatives from the industry included boat builders; fiberglass, resin and component manufacturers; engine and trailer manufacturers; and fishing equipment manufacturers, among others, who help create hundreds of thousands of jobs across the supply chain in all 50 states. According to NOAA Fisheries, marine recreational fishing is a major driver of the U.S. economy with America’s 9.8 million saltwater anglers supporting 472,000 jobs and annually contributing $67.9 billion in sales impacts. “It was wonderful to have Secretary Wilbur Ross in Florida, the ’Fishing Capital of the World,’ to see first-hand the importance of the sportfishing and boating industries not only in the state but nationwide,� Kellie Ralston, Southeast Fisheries Policy director for the American Sportfishing Association, said in a released statement.

Mercury Marine enters into supply agreement with BRP FOND DU LAC, WISCONSIN—Mercury

Marine, a division of Brunswick Corporation and a world leader in marine propulsion systems, has entered into a strategic supply agreement with BRP to be the supplier of choice for BRP owned boat brands Alumacraft, Manitou, Quintrex and Stacer. BRP has made the decision to discontinue the production of E-TEC and E-TEC G2 engines effective immediately.

“This agreement brings us an incredible opportunity to further grow our brand in the marketplace and introduce our award-winning portfolio of outboard engines to new customers around the world,� said Chris Drees, Mercury Marine president in a released statement. “We have enjoyed long standing relationships with Alumacraft, Manitou and Telwater and we look forward to continuing to work with them while providing class-leading outboard engines and exceptional service to all of their global customers.�

Mercury Marine will be the outboard supplier of choice for the Alumacraft and Manitou brands as well as Quintrex and Stacer in Australia. “We stay true and committed to our marine strategy, and we strongly believe that having two of the most innovative global marine companies to join forces, will not only be mutually beneficial to Mercury Marine and BRP, but also to the whole industry and to customers, “ said Karim Donnez, Senior Vice President, Marine Group, IS&T and Global Transformation. “While COVID-19 has precipitated the discontinuation of the production of our outboard engines, we will proudly offer packaged Manitou, Alumacraft, Quintrex and Stacer boats with Mercury Marine going forward.�

Boat packages for Alumacraft, Manitou, Quintrex & Stacer with Mercury outboards will be available in early June, according to Mercury Marine.

SANTA BARBARA HARBOR COMMISSION MAY 21 ACTIONS:

SB Waterfront Twitter photo

Approved passing a recommendation

Santa Barbara Harbor Commission meets for the first time in three months Coronovirus updates and impacts of the virus on 2021 budget recommendations were topics of discussion at the May 21 meeting.

By Lindsey Glasgow SANTA BARBARA —The Santa Barbara

Harbor Commission held its first meet-

ing – virtually – in almost three months on May 21.

Topics of discussion included coronavirus updates, project updates and budget impacts of Covid-19. The Commission also listened to a presentation from the Commercial Fishermen of Santa Barbara about the impact the Covid-19 has had on the commercial fishing industry.

Waterfront Director Mike Wiltshire said the waterfront is working in parallel with the city, county, and state to execute a plan to ease back into operations, including efforts to get tenants and restaurants back into safe reopening. The boat launch ramp reopened on April 24 with social distancing guidelines.

Santa Barbara County was granted approval to move forward on an accelerated Stage 2 path to reopening on May 21, allowing restaurants to offer dine-in service and retail businesses with exterior facing entrances to have customers inside of their stores.

Since then, eight blocks of the city’s popular State Street has been closed to vehicular traffic, converted to a pedestri-

an promenade, allowing merchants and restaurants to use sidewalk space and parking-lot space to serve customers.

Wiltshire said the department has been in contact with harbor district and Sterns Wharf restaurants about whether doing something similar at the waterfront would be of interest.

“So we’re kind of preparing ourselves to possibly allow for some outdoor dining options here spilling out into the harbor business area or public right of way or even in some Sterns Wharf parking lots,” Wiltshire said at the May 21 meeting.

The waterfront is also beginning to pivot focus towards the economic impacts.

The Waterfront Department, along with all city departments, has been instructed to begin assessing initial impacts Covid-19 may have on department revenues and expenditures.

“It’s a really hard thing to put numbers on but we’re doing our best,” Waterfront Business Manager Brian Bosse said at the May 21 meeting.

Staff projected revenues from property management will be the hardest hit,

with an estimated loss of $775,000. Combined with lost revenues from cruise ships and parking services, the total estimated revenue impacts for the Waterfront Department from Covid-19 for FY 2021 is projected to be a loss $1.34 million.

The depa r tment ha s ident i fied $800,000 in savings from cuts to three capital projects: maintenance shop renovations, Sterns Wharf lift station replacement and Sterns Wharf water line replacement. Other ways the department proposed recouping lost funds included a cancelation of the waterfront shuttle, salary savings, cancelation of the July 4 fireworks and a 1 percent reduction in supplies and services. Final decisions on those cuts will be made by the City Council.

The Fiscal Year 2021 budget also includes a slip transfer fee increase of $25 per foot (except 20, 25, 28, and 30 and designated Commercial Fishing berths), a slip fee increase of 2 percent and an increase in the annual West Beach Rack Permit for human-powered vessels from $1,150 to $1,200.

The Commission approved passing

prisoner of war; Congressional Medal of Honor recipient; and, proof of honorable discharge from service.

“This bill instead would require the department to grant free access to a unit of the state park system to a veteran of the Armed Forces of the United States who is a resident of this state and who, upon entrance to the unit, presents to department personnel government-is-

sued proof of the veteran’s service in the Armed Forces of the United States,” language of AB 2281 stated.

Places within State Parks where boating activities take place include Castaic Lake, Lake Elsinore, Big Bear Lake, Mission Bay, San Vicente Reservoir, Lake Jennings, Santee Lakes, Lake Cuyamaca, Crowley Lake, Mono Lake and Bridgeport Reservoir.

Also within State Parks jurisdiction are Anacapa Island, Santa Cruz Island, Santa Rosa Island and San Miguel Island.

Beaches at Bolsa Chica, Corona Del Mar, Huntington Beach, Carlsbad, San Onofre, Point Dume and Santa Monica are also managed by State Parks and would also be governed by AB 2281, should it pass and be signed into law.

AB 2281 was introduced on Feb. 14 by Assembly member Randy Voepel, R-Santee. The bill made it to an Assembly Committee on Feb. 27. A legislative analysis of the bill has not yet been filed; legislators have not yet voted on the bill, either.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

SACRAMENTO —The Covid-19 pandemic

might have substantially slowed life down these past few months, but there is still business awaiting to be done at the State Capitol building in Sacramento. One piece of legislation elected officials could be reviewing soon is Assembly Bill 2281 (AB 2281), which proposes to give veterans greater access to California State Parks properties. Boating is one of the

activities visitors could engage in at those properties managed by State Parks.

The proposal would give veterans, who are also California residents, free access to the state park system. Attending veterans must show proof of service in the Armed Forces of the United States.

Veterans, under existing law, could receive a free pass within the state park system under specific situations: disability;

Santa Barbara Fuel Dock and the Waterfront Department agreed relocating the 16KV SCE feed and postponing the project until late October was the most practical way of moving forward. The Waterfront Department expects to resume the project in October with completion in December.

Meanwhile, annual repairs to Stearns Wharf, which began the week of April 27, are moving ahead. The work includes replacing 38 wooden piles, installation of two splice piles, and a variety of pile cap, stringer, and deck board replacement.

Treiberg also provide an update on the Boat Launch Mini Mart, where an accidental fire broke out on the morning of April 21. The fire was extinguished in less than 10 minutes but still damaged the building and destroyed and all contents of the market. The loss is expected be covered by insurance after a $50,000 deductible.

Cuts to Redondo Beach Harbor Patrol proposed as part of budget balancing City staff reports a projected current year net budget shortfall of $1 million due to Covid-19 and has proposed dozens of budget modifications to recoup those funds.

By Lindsey Glasgow REDONDO BEACH—A 33 percent reduc-

tion of staffing in Redondo Beach’s Harbor Patrol Division has been proposed as one of many budget modifications to recoup a budget shortfall due to Covid-19.

On May 16, the mayor and City Council received the Proposed Budget for FY 2020-2021 and the Proposed Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for FY 2020-2025.

“At this moment in time, our local economy has ground to a near standstill as the result of health orders implemented to save lives and to slow the spread of COVID-19,” Redondo Beach City Manager Joseph Hoefgen wrote in the budget document presented to City Council.

The proposed budget projects a current year net budget shortfall of $1 million, resulting from a revenue loss of $5.1

million, offset in part by projected departmental savings of $2.5 million in FY 2019-20.

One of the proposed budget modifications, Decision Package #29, would eliminate one-third of the staffing in the Harbor Patrol Division. It would also require affected employees to fill vacant fire captain and firefighter paramedic positions at the other two fire stations and reduce service hours for Fire Station 3 (Harbor Patrol) by one-third. The savings from the reduced staffing and operations total $543,742.

The package also recommends reduced appropriations of $543,742 to the Harbor Tidelands Fund.

Nearly every department would be touched by the proposed budget modifications. Hoefgen reported non-safety departments were given a 15 percent targeted amount for reduction, while safety departments, such as police and fire, were given a 5 percent targeted reduction.

Public Hearings on the documents began on May 26 and were continued again on June 2 and 9. Another public hearing on the topic is on the agenda for the June 16 meeting. E-comments can be submitted on the city’s agendas & minutes page at redondo.legistar.com/aspx; instructions can be found at bit.ly/2XC1e9S. The Log will cover the topic in greater detail in the following issue.

the budget recommendations to City Council for approval.

Other waterfront highlights from the May 21 meeting included an update on several waterfront projects including the Santa Barbara Fuel Dock storage tank replacement, annual repairs to Sterns Wharf and repairs to the Boat Launch Mini Mart, which was damaged in an April fire.

Waterfront Facilities Manager Karl Treiberg told Commissioners work that began in Feb. at the Santa Barbara Fuel Dock to replace four single walled storage tanks with two larger double walled tanks in order to comply with a new state law, hit a snag.

An underground utility survey identified a Southern California Edison electrical line directly over a corner of one of the 10,000 gallon tanks to be removed and within the alignment of one of the two new 20,000 gallons tanks to be installed.

REDONDO BEACH—Before

keeling over in January 1980 amid a record high tide and wind-whipped waves, The Lady Alexandra/ Princess Louise II was a popular restaurant/ disco in Redondo Beach’s King Harbor. The vessel – first named The Lady Alexandra – was built in 1923 and was designed specifically for short excursions in the area between Vancouver, Bowen Island and Howe Sound in Canada. She was retired from service in 1952 and became a floating restaurant in Coal Harbour in Vancouver in 1959. According to Daily Breeze, 12 years later, investors purchased the vessel and brought her to Redondo Beach and re-dubbed her Princess Louise II. In 1973, the ship/restaurant opened for business but the owners filed for bankruptcy two years later, according to Daily Breeze. In the late 1970s, the restaurant was reopened under the ship’s original name, The Lady Alexandra and a disco/nightclub, Dirty Sally’s, was added, according to Daily Breeze. The ship also became the home of the Palos Verdes Yacht Club.

Robert Schwemmer, the West Coast Regional Maritime Heritage Coordinator for NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, will discuss the history of USS Conestoga, its disappearance and its discovery.

There were 56 U.S. Navy sailors onboard USS Conestoga when the vessel departed Mare Island in San Francisco Bay on March 25, 1921 for Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and was never seen again. The U.S. Navy launched the largest sea and air

who are currently working on building a new pier at the island – called in the fire.

Responding to the blaze were 20 Hot Shots and the Los Padres National Forest Service along with air support. Air response included retardant drops from a C130 tanker and two CAL Fire 1,000-gallon air tankers making water drops.

According to CAL Fire, the blaze was at 100 percent containment by June 3.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation. The National Park Service working with the United States Forest Service helped the firefighting efforts.

“Firefighting on an island can be challenging, but we have been able to quickly mobilize our initial response,” stated Channel Islands National Park Superintendent, Ethan McKinley.

National Park Service firefighters and a type six engine crew remained on scene to patrol and ensure all the hot spots are out and do mop up. No structures were damaged, with no injuries reported. Island Packers Cruises – the authorized ferryboat concessioner to the Channel Islands National Park – helped out by transporting fire crews to and from the island.

Scorpion Anchorage is a popular stop for boaters, hikers, kayakers and snorkelers is currently closed due to pier construction, also there is no anchoring allowed. Other island anchorages are open to private boaters.

On March 15, the word came out there would be a temporary closure for ferryboat trips to the islands in the park due to Covid19. As of June 1, Island Packers has resumed ferry operations to Anacapa, Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa islands from both Ventura and Oxnard harbors for day visitors and campers with certain restrictions.

“We will be operating at about 40 percent of passenger capacity,” Andrea Moe Mills, spokesperson for Island Packers, said. “This allows us to maintain 6 feet of separation from crew and individual passengers, families can be seated together.

Masks or face coverings need to be worn by passengers and crew.”

For more information about booking a trip for a day or for camping, and the safety guidelines, go to islandpackers.com or call their office at 805-642-1393 between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. For more information about the Channel Islands National Park, go to nps.gov/chis.

The agreement also authorized the Director of Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors to execute any consents, estoppels or other related documentation necessary to effectuate the assignment of the Parcel 12R Lease, if consummated; and, authorize the director to execute an amendment to the lease pertaining to additional excluded transfers required by the proposed assignee of the lease, upon consummation of the transfer.

Gateway KW-Esprit I Owner requested the county’s consent to assign its leasehold interest in Parcel 12R to Esprit MDR Owner, LLC, for a fixed price of $273.5 million. Esprit MDR Owner assignee requested certain additional excluded transfers be included in the lease by way of amendment due to assignee’s affiliation with a real estate investment trust that may require reorganization or restructuring of a fund from time to time.

The terms of the proposed assignment were negotiated by the current lessee and the assignee without any involvement by the Department of Beaches and Harbors.

Per the terms of the lease, the lessee must obtain the county’s consent to the

proposed assignment of the lease. According to a board letter, department staff reviewed the proposed assignment and concluded the proposed assignee’s financial condition is sufficient; the proposed combined sales price of $273.5 million for lessee’s interest in the lease appears to be justified based on the present income generated by the current uses on the parcel; and the proposed assignee’s property management company, Westhome Property Management LLC, has the requisite experience as it is an affiliate of CityView, an investment management firm with a portfolio of over $2.3 billion in multifamily and mixed use assets under management.

If the leasehold is transferred, the Department of Beaches and Harbors will receive $13.675 million as the county’s share of the proceeds from the assignment. Approximately $4.6 million of the funds will be directed to the Marina ACO Fund to continue to maintain and improve the public areas of the Marina and its infrastructure. The remaining amount of approximately $9 million will be retained by and allocated to the operating budget for the Department of Beaches and Harbors and will be accounted for as over-realized revenue in FY 2019-20.

They also conducted a search off Baja California, Mexico. Ultimately the tug was located 2,100 miles from where it was presumed lost, off Southeast Farallon Island outside the Golden Gate.

Schwemmer was the co-principal investigator with James Delgado on the discovery of Conestoga. His presentation will include underwater video of the wreck site and an interview with the granddaughter of the commanding offi-

cer that was lost with his ship.

“USS Conestoga has been an amazing personal journey,” Schwemmer said in a released statement. “No other shipwreck discovery I’ve been involved with compares to the responsibility that comes with telling the story of a group of men who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country, locating their burial site and bringing closure to the families.”

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA—Boating this year has undoubtedly been different than in years past. Masks, restrictions on gatherings, social distancing at launch ramps and even some launch ramp closures are part of the new Covid-19 induced normal for boaters.

POST-PANDEMIC BOATING:

THE NE NEW NORM – NORM NORMAL

BUT FOR HOW LONG? Social distancing and strict public health guidelines are in place for people to return to waterways.

Will the guidelines be permanent?

By Lindsey Glasgow and Parimal M. Rohit

However, getting out on the water remains an activity that for the most part, is not off limits. For Owen Sharp and Virgil Talbott, Covid-19 has provided them the opportunity to get their sailboat out for the first time in a year.

“It’s easy to stay 6 feet apart,” Sharp said while prepping the sailboat with Talbott in the parking lot at the Davies Harbor Launch Ramp in Long Beach on May 20.

Boaters in Long Beach never lost access to waterways; however, the num-

ber of open boat launch ramps has been reduced from five to two. Davies and South Shore are the two ramps that remain open. Long Beach Marine Bureau Marine Operations Superintendent Todd Leland said the other three are connected to beach parking lots, which were still closed in the city as of the time this paper went to press. Marina parking lots at Shoreline and Alamitos Bay remain open for boaters.

“Priority number one is keeping everybody safe and priority number two is making sure everybody gets the opportunity to activate their boat,” Leland said.

Leland said the Long Beach Marine Bureau is following the basic CDC guidelines - practicing physical distancing andrequiring personal protective equipment- and all, city guidelines and the Los Angeles County Health Order.

“Basically, the standard guideline right now is no large social gatherings,” Leland said. “If anyone is activating their boat or out on the water, they should be with their immediate family or those they are quarantining with.”

City and county guidelines will dictate when social gatherings – including those on boats - will be allowed and when the city’s three other launch ramps and beach parking lots will reopen.

“We’ve had great communication since the start of our health order on March 17 with our boaters and we field a lot of questions; is this open, is that closed, can we do this, can we do that,” Leland said.

Many cities and departments – in terms of lasting effects – are evaluating the economic impact of Covid-19 and putting some projects on hold as part of budget adjustments.

“We’re still in the budget process, we’re looking at, we’re evaluating everything that we’re doing and kind of prioritizing everything from a go, hold and stop process,” Leland said.

Leland did not mention any specific

projects that would or could be affected.

He also said he thinks across the board, everyone is going to see a lot more hands-free transactions and a lot more non in-person communications.

“Pre-Covid we were taking a lot of walkins,” Leland said. “Whereas now, we’re moving more to an appointment-based and online, email and phone approach.”

Like Long Beach and many Southern California harbors, Dana Point Harbor remains accessible to boaters. Signs have been placed at the boat launch ramps to remind boaters to social distance.

“Although guidelines are loosening a bit, social distancing and gathering regulations remain in place,” The Marina at Dana Point reminded boaters in an email sent out May 21. “As we continue to navigate these strange and challenging times, we must adapt to a new normal.”

That new normal includes no gathering on dock fingers, gangways, sidewalks and parking lots; no raft ups; no popup tents on docks, sidewalks or parking lots; no tables, chairs or umbrellas on the docks, sidewalks or in parking; and no grilling on docks, sidewalks or in parking lots.

“We have seen many creative attempts by boaters wishing to gather under the radar,” The Marina at Dana Point said in the same May 21 email. “Unfortunately, a gathering in any capacity is still a gathering and impedes upon safe path of travel for others. The goal is to provide at least six feet of space between you and individuals with whom you do not live.”

One, if not the most popular spot for Southern California boaters is Catalina Island. Avalon and Two Harbors both recently reopened their moorings to boaters who don’t live on the island.

Memorial Day weekend was the reopening weekend for Avalon Harbor moorings.

Avalon Harbor Master JJ Poindexter said while they weren’t up to capacity, it was nice to finally see boaters again. He reported271 boats came in for Memorial Day weekend, down 44 from the same weekend in 2019.

“I still don’t see us being – boat traffic wise – where we were last year,” Poindexter said.

Boaters who call in to book a mooring are given a spiel about what to expect.

They are also given a flyer upon arrival of the dos and don’ts; boaters are expect-

ed to follow California’s “Stay At Home” order and treat their boat as their home while visiting.

“A lot people, they just want to get away from there and so they had no problem coming over and staying on their boat,” Poindexter said.

Poindexter said the biggest challenge has been getting everyone to comply with wearing their masks when leaving their boats for food or supplies.

“People that call we tell them yea, now we’re open, you have to wear a mask, you have to social distance, the beaches are closed,”Poindexter said.

Poindexter said they are monitoring the numbers of Covid-19 cases on the island to see if opening the island to boaters had any effect. As of the time this paper went to print, there had been no new cases reported since Memorial Day weekend, according to numbers from Catalina Island Medical Center.

KELLOGG BEACH SAND TO BE REPLENISHED Port of San Diego began replenishing beach on June 8; project is expected to continue into July.

SAN DIEGO —A sand replenishment proj-

ect will take place at a beach just southwest of the Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp, beginning June 8, the Port of San Diego announced.

ing policies in place.

The Port of San Diego, for example, restricted the 10-lane Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp to four lanes (although, at one point on May 24, The Log’s Parimal M. Rohit observed five cars using the launch ramp, in violation of the port district’s social distancing guidelines).

The Log also visited the public boat launch ramp at Coronado’s Glorietta Bay on May 24. Most of the launches were jet skis and other personal watercraft, but a few small boats also found their way onto the water. A steady stream of sailboats, just the same, navigated in and out of Glorietta Bay Marina.

In both instances, boaters and personal watercraft users had to follow new guidelines.

The state issued guidelines for outdoor recreational operators to follow, as more people visit waterways and plan boating, fishing or other related trips.

“All rented or shared equipment and items must be cleaned and disinfected between visitor use, including sports equipment, kayaks, surf or paddle boards, canoes, bikes, fishing gear, helmets, life vests and other items,” state officials said in a formal recommendation.

“Encourage visitors to bring all of their own equipment, wherever possible, to minimize sharing of equipment,” the state’s recommended guidelines continued. “For-hire and small group charter operations must ensure customers have access to handwashing facilities or proper hand sanitizer on the vessel.”

Fishing trips would be required to have fewer people aboard the vessel. The state also addressed life jackets and wet suits.

“Cleaning and disinfecting ‘soft goods,’ such as life jackets, west suits, cotton lead ropes, saddle bags or backpacks poses particular challenges,” state officials said in their formal recommendations. “Such equipment requires an effective cleaning procedure or sufficient equipment inventor to allow for sufficient ‘down time’ of at least three days between uses to minimize risk of Covid-19 transmission.”

The state’s most recent guidelines went into effect on June 12. Visitcovid.ca.govfor the latest information and guidelines.

How long will these regulations be in place? What effect will these regulations have on businesses catering to boaters and anglers? Time will tell – and The Log will continue to dive deeper into the issue.

The port district will oversee a sand replenishment Kellogg Beach, which is along the southwestern shoreline of Shelter Island Boat Yacht Basin and near one of the busiest boat launch ramps in the country.

Port district staff said the project should be completed at some point in July.

About 2,000 cubic yards of natural sand will be added to Kellogg Beach, port district staff confirmed.

“Replenishing the sand will enhance the experience for visitors and help protect the coastline from high levels of natural erosion by maintaining or improving the current slope of the beach to the water,” port district staff said in a released statement.

Kellogg Beach will be closed during construction hours, which would be between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Some construction could take place

on weekends, if needed.

“The beach w ill be open during non-construction hours, per posted beach hours,” port district staff said in a released statement. “In compliance with the County of San Diego’s public health order related to Covid-19, and in coordination with other coastal jurisdictions, Port beaches, including Kellogg Beach, are open for limited use only. Kayak and paddleboard launching, swimming, running, walking, sitting, and lying down are allowed. Activities such as volleyball and football are not allowed.”

Port district staff said the Kellogg Beach Sand Replenishment Project is part of the port’s 2019-2020 Major Maintenance Program.

The Board of Port Commissioners awarded De La Fuente Construction, Inc. the contract for the sand replenishment project; the contract was awarded in April.

Sailing ‘Defiant’ heads to New Zealand for America’s Cup Racing yacht of American Magic leaves U.S. soil, but will the team be welcome in Auckland?

By Parimal M. Rohit PE N S AC O L A , F LO RIDA —The racing

yacht built for New York Yacht Club American Magic for next year’s America’s Cup race has left the United States. She was put onboard a commercial cargo ship and headed to Auckland, New Zealand, where she expects to race in the 2021 America’s Cup (among other events scheduled Down Under).

Questions remain, however, of whether the American Magic crew – and the racing yacht, Defiant – will be welcomed with opened arms once in Oceania’s second-most populous country.

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused many countries to enact strict travel policies, but the American Magic team believes this was the right time for a shift of scenery. Defiant had been in Pensacola for quite a while, but the upcoming hurricane season means the American Magic team can’t stay on the Florida coast much longer.

“We can’t stay in Pensacola due to the approach of hurricane season,”

American Magic Skipper and Executive Director Terry Hutchinson said on May 28. “From June 1st onwards the team is uninsurable in the panhandle of Florida.

Shipping now, and getting to Auckland in June, will allow us to resume training on schedule.”

American Magic reported the team logged more than 70 percent of its onthe-water training on the Florida Gulf Coast, where Defiant was based for the winter. She left Pensacola for New Zealand on May 27.

Defiant hoped to leave Pensacola earlier, but the cancelation of sailing events due to the Covid-19 pandemic kept her on the Florida Gulf Coast through Memorial Day Weekend.

“The team ceased on-the-water operations to protect the health of team personnel, their families and the surrounding community in Pensacola. Fortunately, the team was able to make progress in areas such as design, production, maintenance, logistics and others,” American Magic staff said in a released statement.

Hutchinson said he and his team

would be mindful and respectful of health issues upon arrival in New Zealand (which would coincide, roughly, with the publication of this issue).

“We fully understand and respect the caution and care that the government in New Zealand is showing in response to Covid-19,” Hutchinson said in a released statement. “When we are allowed to enter New Zealand, American Magic will of course adhere to all quarantine and health protocols and do whatever it takes to be responsible members of the

community.”

American Magic was founded in New York City in 2017 and is an America’s Cup challenger. The team is headquartered at New York Yacht Club.

The team has a second AC75 boat; the name of the boat has not yet been revealed.

Defiant, meanwhile, will be based out of Wynyard Wharf in Auckland. The American Magic team announced they plan on sailing Defiant on Waitemata Harbor and Hauraki Gulf.

Top: New York Yacht Club American Magic shifted Defiant, the racing yacht built for the 2021 America’s Cup in New Zealand, from the Florida Panhandle to Auckland.

Crewmembers said they have to begin training in Oceania’s waters and can’t afford to be delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Bottom: The Parasailing Championship, which was sanctioned by US Sailing for the first time ever, has been canceled due to Covid-19. Also canceled: the Doolin Cup. Both events were set to take place in Galveston, Texas, Sept. 25-27.

US SAILING’S PARA SAILING CHAMPIONSHIP CANCELED First-ever US Sailingsanctioned event for Special Olympics has been taken off-calendar because of Covid-19.

By Parimal M. Rohit BRISTOL, RHODE ISLAND —News of can-

celed sailing events continues to trickle in – nearly 100 days into the Covid-19 pandemic. The latest cancelation: 2020 U.S. Para Sailing Championship. The Doolin Cup, which is an annual adaptive regatta, was also canceled. Both cancelations were announced on June 5 by US Sailing.

The 2020 U.S. Para Sailing Cham-

pionship was the first-ever US Sailing-sanctioned Special Olympics North and South American Championships; it was set to take place Sept.25-27 at the Sea Star Base Galveston in Texas.

Sea Star Base Galveston also hosts the Doolin Cup, which was also set to take place Sept. 25-27.

“Sea Star Base was incredibly proud to be the first venue to hold these combined championships,” Regatta Chair David Gaston said in a released statement. “We cannot ensure a safe, quality event with the current knowledge of the Covid-19 situation. An event of this size is not possible without many months of

planning and preparation, so we all felt the safest and most practical path to take is to look ahead to next year. We look forward to hosting the Doolin Cup and other events in 2021 and beyond.”

This year’s event, according to US Sailing, would have marked the first time sailors from Special Olympics would have had a division in the U.S. Para Sailing Championships.

“The U.S. Para Sailing Championships is one of the oldest sailing regattas in the U.S. for sailors with disabilities. The talented field often includes Paralympians, US Sailing Team members, and new contenders,” US Sailing staff said in a re-

leased statement. “The event includes multiple fleets in various disciplines, including single-, double-, and triple-handed sailboats and has become a regular ‘go to’ event on the North American calendar for sailors from the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and South American countries.

“The Doolin Cup is an annual adaptive regatta hosted by Sea Star Base Galveston typically raced in Sonars, a triple-handed boat used in the Paralympics from 2000 to 2016,” the released statement continued.

Fast Friday Races marks the return of sailing in Los Angeles LAYC held its first sailing event since Covid-19 brought almost everything to a halt. Will the series continue?

Sailing is back! Los Angeles Yacht Club hosted the Fast Friday Races on June 5, marking a return to the sailing calendar in the era of Covid-19. The series will continue each Friday through Sept. 4 – assuming, of course, a second wave of Covid-19 cases doesn’t again force cancelations.

By Parimal M. Rohit SAN PEDRO —Summer is around the

corner and we still live in a world of ever-changing uncertainty. Covid-19 and the protesting associated with the death of George Floyd continue to factor into our daily lives – but Los Angeles Yacht Club is making an effort to push forward despite the uncertainty of these chaotic times.

Los Angeles YC held its first postCovid-19 sailing event on June 5. The Fast Friday Races are set up as weekly regattas, with events scheduled on June 12, June 19 and June 26. The yacht club hopes to continue the series into July, August and September. Fast Friday Races would be held on each Friday in June, July and August, so long as Covid-19 restrictions are not tightened and prevent the racing event from happening on a weekly basis.

The final Fast Friday Races

would be held on Sept. 4.

Keelboats measuring 50 feet LOA or smaller are eligible for the Fast Friday Races series. Classes are broken up into PHRF A, PHRF B and a PHRF cruising class. Organizers will allow One Design classes, if established as a separate class.

“The Covid19 pandemic has completely altered 2020 yacht racing calendars globally,” The Notice of Race stated.

The maximum PHRF rating to be permitted by organizers is 220.

Race committee members, in the published Notice of Race, acknowledged the Fast Friday Races series is still at the mercy of Covid-19 and the schedule is fluid.

“The Covid-19 pandemic appears to have significantly changed our daily lives for the foreseeable future and has completely altered 2020 yacht racing calendars globally, by entirely erasing most spring and summer schedules,” the Notice of Race stated. “It is impossible to predict precisely when and to what extent the yacht racing for 2020 season would resume. The standing dates will be dependent upon various factors, including the current state lockdown order, guidance from federal and state health authorities, among others.

“If it becomes impossible to run any of the scheduled races, then that particular date will be canceled or postponed,” the Notice of Race continued.

Doug Jorgensen, David Collins and Ken Corry are all the points of contact for the Fast Friday Races. Contact Jorgensen at doug@metrexvalve.com, Collins at davidcollins@mindspring.com, and Corry at kpcnut@aol.com.

Santa Barbara commercial fishing industry shifts focus to local demand amid Covid-19

Inyo County trout season is officially open CDFW approves request for fishing season to move forward in southernmost areas of the Eastern Sierras.

By Parimal M. Rohit SACRAMENTO —The California

Depa r tment of Fish a nd Wildlife (CDFW) approved Inyo County’s formal request to start its trout season. The season officially opened on May 28.

Inyo County’s 2020 trout opener was delayed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. CDFW originally mandated the season be delayed until at least May 31, but local officials requested the delay come to an end a few days earlier.

Mono County, which is just north of Inyo County, opened its trout season on May 23.

Anglers planned to head into the Eastern Sierras on April 25 to celebrate “Fishmas;” April 25 was the originally scheduled date for this year’s trout season opener.

The April 25 date was pushed back to May 31 or later because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Gov. Gavin Newsom, however, called for phase two of his re-opening plan to go into effect as the final days of May began to play out.

Inyo County officials, accordingly, began negotiations with the state to move forward with its 2020 trout opener.

The county received approval from the state’s Department of Public Health to open local lakes and waterways to fishing; the approval was needed for CDFW to authorize a May 28 opener.

CDFW’s most recent decision only applies to Inyo County.

Commercial Fishermen of Santa Barbara President Chris Voss reported many anglers have shifted their market focus to direct sales to the community.

By Lindsey Glasgow

SANTA BARBARA —Like many

other businesses and restaur a nt s , c om mer c i a l fi sh i ng took a big hit due to Covid-19 and related restrictions. With market demand overseas evaporated and food service purchases virtually non-existent, according to CFSB President Chris Voss, many fishermen were underemployed but have now been turning to direct sales to the community.

“We’ve seen a pretty signif-

icant surge in the number of vendors that have been using the Saturday market,” said Voss while giving a rundown of the status of the local commercial fishing industry to Santa Barbara Harbor Commissioners at their meeting on May 21.

The Santa Barbara commercial fishing industry employs about 200 independent anglers and is a $35 million industry in the harbor.

Voss repor ted CFSB re -

ceived $30,000 in grant funds to buy fish from local anglers, process it locally and donate it to the Santa Barbara Food Bank in an effort to meet their food needs. Voss reported they have seen the local community demand for seafood skyrocket.

“We’re positioned well to adapt and embrace the kind of new reality this pandemic has created within supply chains and demand,” Voss said.

Get Hooked Seafood co-owner and CFSB Executive Director Kim Selkoe also spoke at the May 21 meeting. Get Hooked is a subscription-based program delivering quality sustainable seafood, sourced directly from local fishermen.

Selkoe reported they had 1,000 households participate in Get Hooked in the last 15 months since they started, 400 of which came on since the Covid-19 shelter in place took place. She said monthly deliveries have jumped from about 1,000 to 2,500.

“Seafood industry is a vital part of the recovery and can really just expand the economic diversity and resilience of our coastal community,” Selkoe said.

Both Voss and Selkoe spoke of their support for the Waterfront Department’s commitment to enhancing the infrastructure used by the commercial anglers, including the Ice House, Fish Hoist and cold storage.

Voss said he believes the fishing community can be a bright spot and help innovate the way out of this hard economic time.

SAN DIEGO FISH REPORT SAN DIEGO COUNTY BASED SPORTBOATS RUNNING AGAIN

By Bob Vanian SAN DIEGO —Today is June 8, 2020, and it is the first day that San Diego County based sportboats have been allowed to run trips following the Covid19 lockdown closure that forced the area’s sportboat fleet to cease operations. From what I have read so far, things such as face coverings and social distancing will be required while fishing aboard the sportboats.

The landings have been stating Covid-19 related policies and requirements on their web sites.

By Parimal M. Rohit

Some of the boats within each landing might also have their own policies and requirements so it is best to check out what the landing of your choice and the boat of your choice are requiring before you book your trip.

Some great news is that I can say that things are certainly off and running in good fashion today as Seaforth Sportfishing had an early update from the full day trip aboard San Diego.

They are out on their first trip

since the lockdown started and they provided a morning update of having 64 yellowtail aboard with lots of fishing time left in the day.

The offshore fishing has been getting most of the recent attention with good fishing for a mix of bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna and yellowtail along with a few dorado. Offshore banks located below and outside of Los Coronado Islands have been producing the tuna action and good areas have been while fishing around and about the 224 Spot, 302 Spot, 230 Spot, 425 Bank, 371 Bank and the Upper Hidden Bank.

WASHINGTON, D.C. —A report published by the National

Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) found the U.S. marine economy – also referred as the “blue economy” – contributed an estimated $373 billion to the national gross domestic product in 2018. The same report stated the American blue economy grew at a faster pace in 2018 “than the nation’s economy as a whole.”

NOA A’s announcement on June 2 was based upon marine economy statistics released by two Department of Commerce agencies.

Ten sectors of the marine economy, representing businesses dependent upon our oceans and coasts between 2014 and 2018, were analyzed by NOAA and the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). The growth rate of marine-related growth domestic product from 2017 to 2018 was 5.8 percent, according to NOAA staff. The growth rate for the U.S. economy, as a whole, in the same time period was 5.4 percent.

As many as 2.3 million jobs, in 2018, were supported by businesses included in the report, NOAA staff added. “ These statistics are the first-of-its-kind estimate of the U.S. marine economy, a primary driver of jobs, innovation and economic growth,” retired Navy Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, Ph.D., assistant secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and deputy NOAA administrator, said “Data such as these provide a critical baseline to inform, track progress and accelerate America’s economic

recovery.”

The 10 sectors includes in the Department of Commerce and NOAA study were: tourism and recreation, including recreational fishing ($143 billion); national defense and public administration ($124 billion); offshore minerals ($49 billion); transportation and warehousing ($25 billion); commercial fishing and aquaculture ($13 billion); ship and boat building ($9 billion); power generation ($4 billion); research and education ($3 billion); construction ($2.5 billion); and, professional and technical services ($31 million).

“For the first time, the United States has ocean data that can be compared with our official statistics on other U.S. industries and with the ocean economies of other nations,” Mary Bohman, BEA’s acting director, said. “These prototype statistics offer a baseline for understanding the importance of the ocean economy, including recreation, seafood, transportation and ship building. Businesses, policymakers, and coastal communities can use these economic data as a compass as they chart the way forward.”
