Our next CINC meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 19, 2010, 6:30 PM at the park visitor center. Additional information regarding our 2010 meetings will be coming soon and we look forward to another productive year with all of you. Have a wonderful holiday season! Shauna Exploring Sunken Wrecks Around the Channel Islands During the December ?From Shore to Sea? lectures, sanctuary and park cultural resource experts Robert Schwemmer and Kelly Minas will discuss current research about historic shipwrecks and submerged airplanes around the islands. The presentation will include two recently explored wrecks off Anacapa Island?a mysterious shipwreck of a possible prohibition era rum runner and a sunken World War II era torpedo bomber. These are among over two dozen wrecks studied around the Channel Islands that document over 150 years of evolving maritime enterprises. There are an estimated 150 or more shipwrecks thought to exist around the islands as well as submerged prehistoric sites dating back more than 10,000 years. Schwemmer, the Maritime Heritage Coordinator for Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, conducts archeological research for the five national marine sanctuaries located along the Pacific West Coast. He has been recording and mapping submerged sites in the area since 1993. Minas has been the Channel Islands National Park Archeologist since 2004. Prior to working at the park he was the Staff Archeologist at Vandenberg Air Force Base. He has specialized as a prehistoric archeologist for 22 years and has an anthropology degree from the University of New Hampshire. The ?From Shore to Sea? lecture series is jointly sponsored by Channel Islands National Park and Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary with support from Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. The purpose of the series is to further the understanding of current research on the Channel Islands and surrounding waters. The lectures occur at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 8, 2009, at Santa Barbara Maritime Museum, 113 Harbor Way in the Santa Barbara Harbor and Wednesday, December 9, 2009, at the Channel Islands National Park Robert J. Lagomarsino Visitor Center, 1901 Spinnaker Drive in the Ventura Harbor. The programs are free and open to the public.

Now he's coming to Santa Barbara to talk about those experiences and sign copies of his new book, The National Parks: Our American Landscape. The book features contributions from NPCA President Tom Kiernan and the editors of National Parks magazine, and a percentage of the proceeds will go toward NPCA's crucial work, which we couldn't do without you. The iconic landscapes are all here: Arches and the Grand Canyon, Glacier and Zion, Yellowstone and Yosemite. So, too, are the sights that many of us overlook: the pure white gypsum of White Sands, a jellyfish floating in the Channel Islands, a tarantula and a scorpion underfoot in Big Bend. It's a great gift for any park lover you know, and it's not a bad way to pick your next vacation spot, either.

Please know that TRUTH is the only issue as far as I am concerned. I thought that was made clear when I wrote: ?In all things....TRUTH!? Yes, I included my analyses to prove my point, but that was not the main issue. My email was a lesson with a moral. The moral is spelled T R U T H. Sadly, TRUTH/HONESTY is a minor issue to some. Certainly less important than global warming, in spite of the fact that warming has been taking place for over 15,000 years. I trust that TRUTH is a worthy consideration for others in the CINC too. If it isn?t....that speaks volumes. RE: ?The issue is too big..? HONESTY is a far bigger/important issue than is climate change. RE: ?...all being on board....for the sake of tomorrow....safe environment?? Shouldn?t we all be on board regarding HONESTY? For the sake of tomorrow, shouldn?t we adults lead by example and thus teach our children to seek TRUTH -- and to be TRUTHFUL in all things? Honorable men will, and should, fight for TRUTH and for that which is right (?the good? in J. Rawls words). Please wake-up! A TRUTHFUL and HONEST ENVIRONMENT is the only environment that is truly SAFE.

Matt, Capt. Dave, Jacques & Bob Perry (photographer) Fellow naturalists: Lisa Risso, Lisa Angle (PID) It's a nice and mild day here on the channel. We headed out towards the Anacapa passage with reports of Grays. We got to the passage and looked and waited and waited some more with not a critter to be seem. So Capt. Matt decided to head west along Santa Cruz and wise decision it was. We came across a small pod of Commons. We then got closer to shore where we met up with two south bound Grays right by Potato Harbor! There was a sea lion frolicking with the whales a good portion of the time. We stayed with the whales for about a half hour, when we got to Scorpion the whales started to pick of their pace and we wished them a safe journey to Baja. We then cruised along Santa Cruz's coast and came upon 20 Rissos enjoying a meal of squid perhaps? We continued up the coast enjoying the scenery as we passed Prisoner's when I told Lisa R. that I'd never seen a Bald eagle in the wild. She gave me tips on what to look for, well it was good advice because I spotted one on some rocks! We stopped to see the beautiful bird take flight a couple of times. It made one passenger very happy since he'd told me earlier in the trip that it was the eagle he wanted to see. The cloud cover got darker and thicker on the way back but it was still a pleasant and smooth journey.

When I was a deck hand as a teenager in San Pedro ( 1950s ) we always went out early to get squid for bait prior to going for White Sea bass. Getting the squid bait was never a problem, and the White Sea Bass were plentiful, as were barracuda, albacore, and Blue fin tuna seasonally. Catalina and Avalon, made sport fishing history by recording a record setting Blue fin tuna catch by rod and reel just prior to 1900. The famous Catalina Island Tuna Club was soon established for sportsmen. Commercially, a Petrich cousin of mine was a pioneer fisherman from Dalmatia fishing out of Avalon around 1900. He and his small group of Catalina fishermen, who, resided in Avalon, fished for many types of market and restaurant fish, like White sea bass, Barracuda, and Mackerel. On the mainland, San Pedro had developed a huge fishing industry by 1920, when my grandfather came from an island in Dalmatia to fish there. My grandfather, and a couple uncles fished primarily in waters within 5 miles of shore, at first for the same species mentioned in reference to the cousin on Catalina. However, they were venturing out into the San Pedro Channel, then the Channel Islands by the end of the 1920s, for sardines as well as tuna. My dad came at 16 in 1929, and worked in one of the 13 local canneries for a while, then fished himself commercially. The reason for all this history, is the following: Except for the sardines, it is imperative to know how many of the then bountiful species of fish in our local bight, from Pt Conception to San Diego, fed in a large part on squid? We know they fed seasonally on sardines and anchovies, but that source of food ebbed and flowed. My historical perspective, and common sense, leans me toward thinking local squid had a lot more predators under the sea than they do now. I will research distant relatives about which species seamed to like squid, besides the White Sea bass ( which is making a remarkable recovery thanks to a smart CA DF&G recovery program, and the abundance of their food sources ).

The squid are also bringing in the pelagic fish that are still in these waters this late in the fall, which is great. They have been doing so for years as well.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Some thoughts on Judy's very interesting "Fresh Air..., Dr. Pauly's concerns about overfishing, and "what's left". His depiction of the technological advancement of the fisheries industry world-wide is right on. Without overdoing a history here, I will refer to to the ongoing TOPP research program which I have referred to before on this Rainlist (Tagging of Pacific Predators). Marine scientist in this research program crow at the verifiability of their results related to the tagging of the Blue Fin and Yellow Fin tuna, which circumnavigate the Pacific Basin from Japan to North America, because they got an 80% return on tagged tuna from commercial fishermen. Now, I am not a scientist, and the results of this very valuable study in itself is important, BUT I have been a fisherman, and this research results tells me something else that proves Dr. Pauly's point, which this study did not intend to do. Fishermen now fishing tuna throughout the North Pacific are fishing at 80% efficiency! They returned these tags in a one go-around for the tuna! Batting 800 is a good batting average fore any profession: unheard of, from baseball to panning gold. Dr. Pauly, a marine science ecologist from the University of British Columbia, in his second interview, discusses proliferation of the "left overs" after the big predators are depleted. He says one "left over" species not consumed by predators readily now, is the jelly fish. It is over running some marine ecosystems now, consuming the very zooplankton necessary to sustain the reproducing larger fish. To my dismay, I have seen this phenomenon on beaches in Dalmatia, Sicily, and Australia. Are not squid, as a marine species, closer to jelly fish on the food chain than to sardines and anchovies? They certainly have a faster reproduction cycle. Of related interest: Many of the TOPP species, all on decline, eat squid and jelly fish. TOPP tags species from sea turtles to albatross, as well as tuna.

Being the only one scheduled for the trip (and PID at that) I was delighted to hear that the trip was a go, but walking up to the pier and seeing the crowds gave me pause. But wait, who should be standing in the paid passenger line,( taking his sister out on the trip,) but the birthday boy, Gary Delanoeye, a faithful person of the Dolphin Pod. Out of his pack came his name badge, hat and a navy blue jacket! He graciously stepped in to help spread the word and help with crowd control (with permission from a captain,of course.) Because Gary was there I was able to actually do PID and get some good shots of the male orca, the female who hovered in the background was camera shy. Why we were seeing two huge groups of commons "rooster-tailing" churning the water up as they flew eastward became readily apparent when we spotted a large black fin a bit to the west. Somewhere in the mix we did see some spouts but if any greys were in the area they too fled the scene and we never saw spout again. We spent some time tracking this big boy who eventually led us to a nearby female. The water was very clear and the seas relatively calm but she was not at all interested in letting us really get to see much of her. It was already noon and we were still around the mid-channel buoy. So off to the gap we flew, the seas kicked up a bit, and we didn't see much else until we headed for the cave...........large rafts of sealions and the tons of birds dotting the water having their fill of squid........and where there's squid there's usually Risso's. They were squid focused but we did get to see glimpses of them. Orcas trump Grays. Next time the grays can have center stage. Check out Bob Perry's photos of the trip. They should be great. The male orca was not a full grown male, probably a teen according to the captains, but certainly impressive and he was able to motivate thousands of commons to evacuate the area pdq!

Two happy boat loads of diverse passengers, Dick Bellman and I reveled in the beginning of gray whale season. Each trip tracked a single gray which allowed lengthy viewing before heading south behind Anacapa along with the playful antics of the ever welcome common dolphins (long or short beaked-I know not but I'll figure that out one of these years).
