What's going on with moorings right now?
The Newport Mooring Association is dedicated to Preserving Affordable Harbor Access by advocating for Fair Mooring Rates and Equitable Terms.
Key Issues Facing Mooring Holders - January 2025
- Threat to Low-Cost Mooring Permits: Resolution 2024-15, passed by the Newport Beach City Council, seeks to convert low-cost mooring permits into short-term, high- cost, city-owned licenses, jeopardizing the long-standing system that provides affordable harbor access for permittees. NMA opposes the conversion of low-cost moorings to high-cost City licenses.
- Loss of Transferability: If enacted, the resolution would strip mooring holders of their right to transfer their moorings within four years, significantly devaluing mooring permits and undermining permittee rights.
- Rate Structure Discrepancy Under Review: The State Lands Commission (SLC) is examining Newport's mooring rates, with the SLC Executive Officer noting a stark discrepancy between mooring fees and other harbor rates, emphasizing the need for equitable pricing.
