Rainbow Wraps WB July 4th
Coast Guard studying 87 foot ship move to WB By Terry Lane

The U.S. Coast Guard plans to relocate a larger marine patrol cutter to Station Wrightsville Beach, bringing in a commissioned ship nearly twice the size of any the station currently operates. The Coast Guard is seeking public input on its plans to relocate the ship to a permanent mooring in Wrightsville Beach. In a report put together by AECOM Technical Services, Inc. for the Coast Guard, the plan wouldn’t require dredging or in-water dock construction, and said that the boat wouldn’t create an environmental impact or a visual eyesore. The relocation of the 87-foot coastal patrol boat would be the largest cutter stationed in Wrightsville Beach, though the station was the homeport of a 82-foot boat from 1987 through 2000. The station currently hosts two 45-foot and two 29-foot small response boats. The Coast Guard said the relocation would help fill help improve Coast Guard readiness in the region. The relocation would move an existing 87-foot WPB from the Cape May, N.J. station, with one online source identifying the ship currently stationed there as the “Mako.” “The 87-foot WPB is the dividing line between the USCG’s small response boats and large cutters and they are vital to offshore missions. Currently, there is not an 87-foot WPB homeported in Sector North Carolina. Offshore patrols and missions are being conducted either by 110-foot WPBs from SFO Fort
When the reel on Shelby Kimball’s line began to run on July 4th, the crowd of a dozen or so anglers on Johnnie Mercer’s Pier sprang to life with anticipation of the prize that could be on the end of the line and was on everyone’s lips: king mackerel. It was the fish that the novice big game angler had been waiting to hook. Hoping to catch her first king mackerel.l, Kimball pulled in the big rod, at points balancing the end on her upper thigh for leverage, as she alternately reeled in and gave the big fish room to run.

At the heart of a recent local media headline that played to people’s fears about a misunderstood creature of the sea is the story of an aspiring young scientist who helped advance the study of sharks. “There was no shark attack on Wrightsville Beach,” said 15-year old Joey Jacobs, who tagged the shark for tracking by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, inspired by his interest in marine biology. “I wouldn’t even call it a bite. It was more of a mishandling.” It is accurate that a man was bitten by a 7-foot Tiger shark on Thursday, June 29 by Johnnie Mercer’s Pier. But those

Preserving ‘beach etiquette’ on July 4 By Terry Lane Staff Writer
As expected, crowds and traffic were everywhere during last weekend’s Independence Day celebrations, including at the annual party on Masonboro Island on July 4th. That party is where police and town officials focused their attention on Independence Day afternoon, as both the town’s park ranger and its police boat enforced rules keeping boats off of the beach and curtail the informal taxi service to the island. “We don’t want any of that coming over here,” said Wrightsville Beach Park Range Shannon Slocum, who issued Staff photo by Terry Lane

Coast Guard rescues 4 adults, 1 child Staff Report The Coast Guard rescued five people from the water after their vessel capsized near Masonboro Inlet, North Carolina, Wednesday. Watchstanders at the Sector North Carolina Command Center in Wilmington received a 911 call at about 8:00 p.m. stating that a 22-foot boat with four adults and one 4-year-old child aboard capsized approximately 3 miles off Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. All five people were reported to be wearing life jackets and clinging to the capsized vessel. A 45-foot Response Boat-Medium crew launched from Station Wrightsville Beach at 8:10 p.m. The crew arrived on scene at about 8:20 p.m. and rescued all five people from the water. The RB-M crew then transported the five people to the station by 8:40 p.m. None of the people were injured. A Towboat US crew also arrived on scene to salvage the vessel. “We are very pleased with the fact that the Wrightsville Beach crew n See RESCUE Page 2

They walked the tiger shark, which he said measured 6-foot, 2-inches to the tail fork, down to the shallower water by the shore. The friend who was bitten was in about waist deep water when the shark snapped around and bit his arm, said Jacobs, adding that the animal’s actions were expected under those circumstances. Anglers at the pier declined to identify the man who was bitten, however, he was at the pier with the other fishermen on July 4, though he did need several stitches. “He was just a little too deep, which is a no-no” Jacobs said. But the bite didn’t stop the operation. They dragged the shark to shore using a rope around its tail, where they applied the tag to its dorsal fin after friends Gio Malacara and Rob Kimball helped wrangle the shark.
The tags will be used by NOAA to track the shark if it is ever caught by another fishing or research vessel. In that event, Jacobs will be notified by NOAA. Jacobs said that regrettably, the biting incident will probably curtail and future attempts to tag a shark from the pier. But it has done nothing to dampen Jacobs’ interest in marine life. The homeschooled student said it’s his ambitious to become a marine biologist and study sharks. He said he was upset with local media coverage of the event, which he said focused too much on the bite and feed into people’s fear of the animal. “They get a bad rap,” he said. “This whole thing was blown out of proportion.” Email terrylane@luminanews. com

was able to respond, rescue five people and return them safely to shore in under 40 minutes,” said Coast Guard Chief Warrant Officer 2 Keith Moore, command duty officer for Sector North Carolina. “Furthermore, the five people chose to make the right decision by wearing their life jackets, a decision that undoubtedly contributed to the positive outcome of this case.”
IS YOUR HOME PROTECTED AGAINST HURRICANES?
there said the incident was not an act of aggression by the shark, that the media coverage sent the wrong message about sharks and neglected the scientific purpose behind the encounter. After the shark was hooked on Thursday, Jacobs wanted an opportunity to apply tags he requested from NOAA. The young fishermen knew there would be plenty of opportunities, as sharks are often caught by anglers at the pier casting for bigger game fish like king mackerel and cobia. Jacobs said he was helped by several fellow anglers on the pier.

PUBLIC NOTICE The U. S. Coast Guard (USCG), Civil Engineering Unit Cleveland, is announcing the availability of the Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) to permanently relocate an 87-foot Coastal Patrol Boat (WPB) to an existing mooring location at Station (STA) Wrightsville Beach, Wrightsville Beach, New Hanover County, North Carolina. The USCG solicits comments as part of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. The purpose of the proposed project is to ensure optimum readiness and enable the USCG to effectively meet operational and mission execution requirements in support of maritime safety and security operations. Homeporting of an existing 87-foot WPB and its crew to STA Wrightsville Beach is needed to enable Sector North Carolina to efficiently and effectively execute its operational missions within its area of responsibility. Interested parties are requested to express their views in writing on the Draft EA and the proposed project, giving sufficient detail to establish a clear understanding of their reasons for support or opposition to the proposed work. For additional information on this proposed action, please view a copy of the Draft EA to Relocate 87-foot WPB to USCG STA Wrightsville Beach, Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina posted at the below listed locations from June 29, 2017 through July 29, 2017: Northeast Regional Library, New Hanover County Branch 1241 Military Cutoff Road Wilmington, NC 28405 910-798-6371 Town of Wrightsville Beach Website: http://www.townofwrightsvillebeach.com/ USCG’s Website: http://www.uscg.mil/d5/PublicNotices.asp Interested parties should provide written comments on this proposed action no later than July 29, 2017 to: United States Coast Guard Civil Engineering Unit Cleveland 1240 East Ninth Street, Rm. 2179 Cleveland, Ohio 44199-2060 Attn: Mr. Gregory Carpenter, Chief Environmental Compliance

two tickets to boaters who parked on the south end of the beach. When the park ranger arrived around noon on July 4th, there were several groups of people waiting for rides to the boat. Slocum encouraged them to seek rides from Wynn Plaza. He issued a ticket to one woman for drinking a can of beer. She had several more in a box next to her. On July 4th, one of the town’s busiest beach day of the year, the park ranger takes a diverse range of roles, from tour guide to ordinance enforcer. The ranger’s white pickup truck is a familiar sight on Wrightsville Beach and so is Slocum, who’s been at the job for 16 years. Mainly, he serves a watchful eye over the crowd, making sure it remains a family-friendly destination for visitors. “Really, it’s just about enforcing good beach etiquette,” Slocum said. “We’re trying to curb some behavior that affects other visitors. People can have epic times here and never get a ticket, they just have to keep it clean and be respectful.” Slocum said most tickets are for bottles and alcohol. He said
It is a fast, sturdy, highly maneuverable boat capable of operating in rough seas with wave height up to 8 feet,” the report said. “It includes an innovative stern launch-andrecovery system using a rigid hull inflatable boat.” The Coast Guard is inviting public comment on the proposed relocation through July 29. Information about the relocation is available at townofwrighsvillebeach.com and the Northeast Regional branch of the New Hanover County Library. Email terrylane@luminanews.com a stronger focus on alcohol violations have improved conditions for beachgoers in recent years. The park ranger doesn’t often look in people’s cups, but he does look for obvious signs of alcohol. In one case, he checked the identification of a woman pouring what looked like canned beer into a cup, but didn’t issue her a ticket. He did issue a ticket to a man drinking from an opened can, saying it served for the group that had several cans out in the open. Glass is a particular problem, as Slocum said he is quicker to write tickets on those violations, since glassware is prohibited in most waterfront locations, including lakes and rivers. But Slocum said one of his most common duties is answering questions from visitors, who will ask him just about anything from medical questions to restaurant advice. On July 4th, one visitor flagged him down to ask about swimming conditions in Masons Inlet, before letting him know her skills were limited to the doggie paddle. And she didn’t have her arm “floaties.” “Stay ankle deep, those are rough, dangerous currents,” he said.

Hook, Line & Sinker Summer Doldrums Trying to Make Appearance for First Week of July By Skylar Walters
The typical summer-time weather pattern, known as the doldrums, has arrived, and just in time for the month of July. Water temperatures are reading in the upper seventies to low eighties, brisk southerly winds are an everyday occurrence, heat and humidity are ever increasing and spotty and scattered thunderstorms have been a typical daily guest. Such is the regimen for most days and there doesn’t appear as though there’ll be much relief in the foreseeable future, which is to be expected considering the time of year. This week the fishing has been less than ideal as strong storms and lots of rain have hindered the fishing and catching. Water conditions were slowly improving but yet more rain and thunderstorms have arrived to muddy the water, not to mention the onslaught of increased boating traffic from the holiday week and weekend. Conditions should slowly improve though, as they always do, and there should be some opportunities for anglers to bring home some fish for dinner, although tactics will need to be adjusted due to conditions. Inshore, the flounder fishing continues to produce although there are lots of small fish in the mix. Better fishing has been in and around the Cape Fear River and also around Carolina Beach with the better and larger fish coming from live minnows fished on Carolina Rigs around the marsh banks and creek mouths. Some keeper fish have also been coming from the inlets during the first half of falling water. With the increased water temperatures, fishing muddy bottoms and moving water are good locations to start

your search. Red drum fishing had been showing some good signs of getting good, but the cloudy water conditions will need to clear drastically for the fishing to get back on track. Live baits and artificials are all working good for the drum Surf anglers are reporting some decent fishing for Virginia mullet when ocean conditions allow. Fresh shrimp is a hard bait to beat although sand fleas, if you’re lucky enough to find some, have been producing the larger fish. A few anglers have also reported some decent sized pompano showing in the sloughs. Fishermen using fresh shrimp and cut bait have been reporting some decent fishing for black drum during the lower portion of the tides. Off the beach, areas in the five to ten mile range have been producing some decent king mackerel action, although a vast majority of fish have been rather small. There are some undersized fish in the mix, so make sure to measure carefully if keeping some kings for a meal. Locations in the fifteen mile range have been producing some better quality of fish along with an occasional dolphin. As the month progresses, the encounters with near shore dolphin should continue to increase for those fishing within twenty miles of the beach. Bottom fishing, as has been the case for the past few weeks has been good when anglers can get away from the sharks. Fishing depths over one hundred feet will help eliminate the sharks visit although it will not prevent it one hundred percent.
