-----------------------------------------
Regarding the 'Agreement for project services with Coast Construction Group for the design and construction of a Sea Bass Grow Out Facility', it is great to see the City accomplishing this important milestone to re-establish the facility.
However, there is an error in the Administrative Report.
The first sentence of the EXECUTIVE SUMMARY states:
"For over two decades, the Redondo Beach Sea Lab operated a white seabass growout facility..." And the firts sentence of the BACKGROUND states:
"For many years, the Redondo Beach Sea Lab operated a white seabass grow-out project..."
However, this is inaccurate. The white sea bass facility was NOT operated by Sea Lab.
It was only co-located with Sea Lab on the AES property.
It was actually operated by the "King Harbor Ocean Enhancement Foundation" which was managed by John Whittaker and Rich Ford, with support from a team of volunteers. (Clark McNulty was one of those volunteers.) I recommend that some form of addendum/correction be published to accurately acknowledge the volunteerism of this dedicated foundation and the leadership of the two managers.
