Here is the latest about Laguna's Beach NEW Curfew On October 20, 2009, the Laguna Beach City Council passed a new ordinance to restrict beach and park access within their city limits between 1 am and 5 am. This action was NOT directed at the diving community but due to an increase in illegal activities. At the November 3rd council meeting they agreed to exempt 4 types of recreational use from the curfew: scuba diving, walking, jogging and fishing. While we asked in negotiations to also include swimming, surfing and free diving they did not include those uses in the exemption. I am not sure why. If any exempted users are on the beaches between 1 am and 5 am then it is important to be in the water or on the wet sand and to enter or exit via the dry sand in a direct safe route. In other words: no loitering on the beach! |

Please watch for this invasive seaweed!
The non-native brown seaweed Sargassum filicinum was initially discovered in Long Beach Harbor in 2003, then Kathy Ann Miller and Channel Island Research Program divers found it in a few locations at Santa Catalina Island last spring. Already this invasive seaweed appears to be spreading rapidly. This fall we observed it to be much more abundant at the initial Catalina location and found it in patches at most other sites we dove, including Bird Rock, Isthmus Reef, Pumpernickel Cove and Big Geiger Cove in the Isthmus area, as well as miles away to the east at Hen Rock (east of Long Point). In September, Constance Gramlich's keen eye found it at Point Loma, San Diego - the first known mainland outer coast location! |
