I have a boat docked right by the Boating Center. I’m retired and on the dock very often. I can’t even recall seeing any activity at the Center, it seems always empty, or perhaps I just haven’t noticed. The facility seems a massive waste of a great resource. Another thing I’ve often heard many people say over the years is that many children in Oxnard have never been to the beach or harbor. How is that possible? And what can we do about it?
PUBLIC PRESCRIPTIVE RIGHT? SOURCE: https://www.coastal.ca.gov/access/pr-acce… Under the California Coastal Act, Coastal Public Access Program, Public Resources Code Sections 30530-34, the Commission is required to prepare and implement a program in coordination with other federal, state, and local agencies, including the State Attorney General’s Office, to maximize public access. The program includes a prescriptive rights element whereby the Coastal Commission researches and inventories the historic public use of areas with the potential for significant public access benefits. Where research indicates that the public use is substantial enough to create potential prescriptive rights, the Attorney General’s Office has the authority to proceed with the legal action necessary to protect those use areas. Because of FEDERAL, (goes beyond this County) STATE and other Taxes were used to fund this harbor for Visitor Serving/Public! BOATERS: Fuel Taxes Also Fund This Harbor. This Small Craft Harbor has always been a Public Amenity gifted for public, by Bard Family and others, (documented) only for that purpose stated so in The Greenland Powell Book. The County manages the Fisherman’s Wharf and CI Marinas/Harbor only By HOLDING IN PUBLIC TRUST (documented) all at Ventura County, and available to the public.
