Boater Liaison Program Update - Responses from Harbor Management

 

In 2013 your Dana Point Boaters Association introduced the Boater Liaison Program, which offers Dana Point boaters the means to raise any issue with harbor management, with DPBA as your advocates.  As we described when it was introduced, this program is aimed at improving boater satisfaction and advocacy in Dana Point Harbor.  And our boaters have embraced this program...  Over the past two years we have collected numerous issues raised by boaters and other members of our Dana Point Harbor community via our Online Boater Liaison Submission Form.  We have been pleased by the quantity, quality and thoughtfulness of the submissions, which is testimony to the interest and engagement of our boating community in their harbor.  We review every submission, categorize and summarize each issue, then present them in a report to Orange County Dana Point Harbor, their contracted marina operators (TBW, Dana Point Marina Company and Vintage/Embarcadero), and Dana Point Harbor Patrol.

 

Harbor management has recently responded to our latest round of submissions.  Following below are the issues raised, DPBA's position on the matter, and OC Dana Point Harbor's response.  Click on the following link to review the latest Boater Liaison Program Responses From Harbor Management!  You will find news on topics such as the Harbor Revitalization Plan, parking management, slip waitlist management, harbor finances, and more.  For those remaining issues that you would like us to raise with harbor management, please let us know by visiting our Boater Liaison Program website.

 

We wish to express our gratitude to Orange County Dana Point Harbor and their management team for collaborating with the Dana Point Boaters Association on this important initiative.  While we are not perfectly aligned on every issue, we can report that they truly took this process seriously and offered their thoughtful consideration and response to each issue.

 

Best regards,
Steve Carpenter, IT Officer
