After “pirate” crime wave, boaters fear sweep of Oakland estuary will leave them with nowhere to go

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:54:24 GMT

In recent weeks, abandoned vessels in the Oakland estuary — a calm, narrow waterway separating Oakland and Alameda — have been tagged by Oakland’s Marine Patrol unit and given a 30-day removal notice as part of a long-delayed, full-scale clean-up.The state of the estuary, primarily a place for recreational water sports, came under scrutiny after dozens of small boats and dinghies were taken from yacht clubs in Alameda, often stripped for their parts and sunk, during a three-week span in August. The boating community pointed the blame at a group of “anchor-outs,” a catch-all term for those living rent free in waterways, who also live in the estuary.The boating community demanded police stop the crime spree and rid the estuary of people living on boats illegally. That process, after months of preparations, how begun. According to Marine Patrol Officer Kaleo Albino, the Oakland Police department started contacting the dozen or so people living on boats in Novemb...

BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — Nearly a week after three college students of Palestinian descent were shot and seriously wounded while taking an evening walk, relatives of two of the victims have arrived in Vermont from the war-torn West Bank, grappling with a new reality that has shattered their lives and a place they thought was a safe haven.Elizabeth Price and her husband Ali Awartani flew in Wednesday just as their son, Hisham Awartani, underwent surgery. After the Israel-Hamas war erupted in early October, they decided it would be safer for Hisham to stay in the United States instead of coming home for the holidays. Now they don’t know if he will ever walk again.“When my nephew came to this country to pursue his studies and when he came to stay with me for Thanksgiving in Burlington, Vermont, it never occurred to me that he may be victim to this type of violence,” Awartani’s uncle Rich Price said in an interview with The Associated Press on Friday. “And so I fee...
