Channel Islands Harbor Braces for Higher Tides After Seawater Floods Victoria Avenue

Seawater backed up through storm drains and pooled on both sides of Victoria Avenue near Hobie Beach in late October, after tides at Channel Islands Harbor climbed past 8 feet for the first time this season. Harbor officials are now moving sand and rock into low-lying areas, buying sandbags, and working with the city of Oxnard on a possible fix for the drainage system, all while bracing for tides that could climb even higher before winter is out.

Sea turtle nesting on a Ventura beach marks a first. What we know

A rare sea turtle discovered nesting on San Buenaventura State Beach in Ventura over the weekend marked a new first. Just weeks earlier, wildlife officials confirmed the first-ever recorded natural nesting for any sea turtle species on the U.S. West Coast. Both were olive ridley turtles . The turtles known for their heart-shaped shells normally stick to areas farther south in Mexico. But in September, the two turtles nested in Orange County. The first was spotted digging a nest and laying eggs near Seal Beach, officials said. Days later, a second turtle was discovered nesting near the Huntington Beach Pier, around 8 miles away. Experts said the exact reasons why the turtles showed up were unknown but called it likely that the warmer waters caused by a marine heat wave and El Niño were key factors. Navigational errors by the nomadic, highly migratory turtles also may have contributed, officials said. Now, a third sea turtle was found – this time, in a sandy spot in Ventura not far from the pier. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service confirmed the discovery as the first-ever recorded natural nesting in Ventura County and the northern most known olive ridley sea turtle nest. Turtle
