“Commercial fishing operator” is the user of a commercial fishing vessel who has received authorization from the city to use the pier under a properly executed Jerkovich Pier use authorization form.

“Commercial fishing vessel” is a type of watercraft that is currently licensed for commercial fishing by a state government or a federally recognized Indian tribe and is actively being operated for the purposes of commercial fishing.

“User,” also known as an operator, is the person responsible for, or in control of, watercraft at the pier.

“Watercraft,” also known as a vessel or boat, includes every description of watercraft on the water used or capable of being used as a means of transportation on the water, other than a seaplane. However, it does not include inner tubes, air mattresses, and small rafts or flotation devices or toys customarily used by swimmers. (Ord. 1459 § 3, 2021).
