🎣Marlin Caught Off Ventura County!🎣 This impress 🎣Marlin Caught Off Ventura County!🎣 This impressive marlin was caught off our coast yesterday aboard @graylight_charters and it’s one more sign that the ocean is looking a little different this year. With El Niño bringing warmer-than-normal water to Southern California, we’re seeing an unusual mix of warm-water species showing up in our neighborhood. Swordfish, dorado, tuna, marlin, rays, and even rare whale sharks have all been spotted in Southern California waters. The ocean is constantly moving and when the water warms, the fish follow. 🤙 #channelislandsharbor #visitoxnard #ciharbor #venturacounty #elniño

We seriously can’t stop thinking about how awesome We seriously can’t stop thinking about how awesome Saturday was. ❤️   The second annual Concert on the Sea was even bigger and better, with @teresarussellguitar bringing the music and the harbor filled with boats, kayaks, paddleboards and good vibes. And we’re super thankful about that boat donated by @fishwiththefinest. Thank you for making it happen!   And because so many of you loved it, we’re already thinking about what’s next.   Two Concerts on the Sea next year? We’re looking into it.   Let’s just say… we heard you. 🤙 #channelislandsharbor #visitoxnard #ciharbor #oxnard #venturacounty

On September 11, 2001, the maritime community answ On September 11, 2001, the maritime community answered the call. As bridges, tunnels and mass transportation closed following the attacks in New York City, hundreds of thousands of people were stranded in Lower Manhattan. Within minutes, New York City Fire Department fireboats rushed to the scene, while the U.S. Coast Guard coordinated a massive maritime evacuation. More than 150 vessels and 600 mariners, including tugboats, ferries and merchant ships, helped evacuate more than 500,000 people and deliver supplies in the days that followed. Coast Guard Commandant James Loy later described the effort as moving more people from the island than the 1940 evacuation of Allied troops from France. Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the first responders and everyday mariners who stepped forward when their city and country needed them most. Their courage, compassion and resilience are part of the enduring spirit of the maritime community. We will never forget. 🇺🇸 #channelislandsharbor #venturacounty #neverforget #ciharbor #firstrrsponder
