Salvaging the Lake Bay Amid Squid Struggle | California News
Description
Salvage crews made partial progress dragging the grounded 58-foot fishing vessel Lake Bay further up the beach, but its 40-ton squid cargo and bulbous bow are stalling efforts. Despite multiple pumping attempts and a heavy-duty pulley system, the boat remains stuck in the high tide zone. The Coast Guard, wary of environmental damage and hull breaches, has removed 1,400 gallons of diesel and 160 gallons of oil, while local fishermen grow frustrated over what they see as premature abandonment—echoing a similar 2024 incident. Now, they’re pushing for a collaborative approach with county officials to harness their maritime expertise and find a safer, more sustainable salvage solution.
