every 2 years.
Shows accurate trends over the years.
This proactive effort will help us in the future with our
negotiations with National Marina Fisheries Service and
development of a Newport specific eelgrass plan
Data is also posted on Harbor Resources website —
eelgrass.
Important oceanographic data is included (salinity, light,
temperature etc...)

Dear Neighbors
The Balboa Marina public dock effort appears to not be making many friends. I've heard from
folks like yourselves who are concerned about the access and its visibility (lack thereof, actually)
of the public slips. Yet I also am getting more and more calls from Linda Isle residents about
noise and unruly behavior from boaters and pierside revelers using the public docks late at
night.
As we work towards a resolution, please caution your customers to be quiet as they use the
docks, whether they be boaters or just walking along the docks. Noise carries very well across
the water, and residents are attempting to sleep less than 75' away from the Balboa Marina.
You might recall that "Windows on the Bay" had extensive problems with neighborhood
complaints from Lido Isle in its day (more than 12 years ago). The resulting uproar impacted
Windows' business significantly and may have led to its demise.
I respectfully urge you to help us solve the noise problem, even as we attempt to encourage
reasonable and quiet public dock access at the Balboa Marina. Please consider posting
appropriate signage and directing your wait staff and security staff to keep customers' noise
down.
Thank you in advance for helping make the public slip spaces at the Balboa Marina a quiet
amenity welcomed by all.
Sincerely,
DAVE KIFF
City Manager
