Seal lion barge must go

We believe the barge should be removed.

Sea lions were here first

I feel bad for the sea lions; they were there first. They are cute

and attract tourists. I think people should get ear plugs. The barge

should stay. Leave the sea lions alone.

CARLA KLEIN

Newport Coast

Sea lions bark all night

They should remove the enhancement.

The sea lions are very loud and they bark all night long. I wanted

to confirm it is a problem.

ROBERT HINRICHS

Corona Del Mar

Get rid of the barge

Yes, they should remove the Pacific Fisheries Enhancement.

TONI DOANE

Balboa Peninsula

Sea lions aren’t ones that should leave

I am totally against the removal of the enhancement. White sea

bass were almost extinct before it was placed there.

It allows the wonderful fisherman to catch fish.

It amazes me that residents are upset about the noise because it

is not that loud.

Tell those people to move out of Newport.

CAROLINE CLARK

Newport Beach

Sea lions won’t be loud much longer

The barge should stay.

The fisheries are hurting so much they should keep anything that

helps.

People should be happy they live by wildlife. The sea lions will

be off to breeding islands soon anyway.

CAROLYN HEATHE

Newport Beach

Tsunami warning worked for him

I thought the tsunami warning was very effective. I saw it on

several channels.

I do think Newport Beach should discuss what to do if there is

such an emergency.

GORDON PATE

Costa Mesa

Warning didn’t cross language barrier

I do not think it was effective. It was on one TV station and they

were speaking in Spanish, not English.

CHARLEY HAM

Newport Coast

Warning would have saved his parents

My parents are 87 years old and they live on the peninsula. I

think the warning was very effective because I would have gone and

got them if it was serious. Good job.

JIM CARNS

Costa Mesa

Not enough details came with warning

I do not think it was effective. It was not clear how serious the

warning was or where to go in an emergency. What is high enough to be

higher ground?

I think it would be a good idea if the paper put together a map

that detailed areas at risk and what areas would be safe.

LEONARD DAVIS

Newport Beach

Better warning needed for older residents

No, it was not because I did not hear about it all.

My daughter called me and we left for higher ground. Some people

do not watch television or have a computer.

We need a better warning for the elderly.

ROSEMARY MORRILL

Balboa Peninsula

How about a helicopter warning?

I don’t watch television and I had no idea there was a tsunami

warning. They should send out a helicopter that announces the warning

over houses via intercom. It was not effective.

LINDA MELLEN

Balboa Peninsula

Simple answer: What warning?

What warning? We were watching the City Council meeting and they

took a recess, I guess due to the warning, but they said nothing.

If we had not changed the channel we would not have known there

was one.

PATRICIA LILLEGRAVEN

Balboa Island

Just where would a tsunami come ashore?

I thought that the warning issued on TV was excellent but wonder

what method would have worked if it had occurred during the day when

most people would not have been watching TV. I live in a coastal

community, Corona del Mar, but on a hill, about 150 feet above sea

level.

I would be interested in information as to how high above sea

level would be safe in the most severe case.

In other words, how far up the hills would homeowners have to be

evacuated?

I can understand that many areas in Newport Beach would be in

immediate danger such as Balboa Peninsula, and areas near the harbor.

What about the residents who live on the bluffs overlooking the

ocean?
