Newport Harbor Concessions Safety Video
Harbormaster Paul Blank
The Newport Beach Harbor Department is excited to present this three-minute safety video about Newport Harbor.
The primary audience for the video is people renting small and manually powered vessels on the harbor, although it has information valuable to anyone operating a vessel on the harbor.
The central messages in the video include:
- Requirements for Personal Floatation Devices
- Knowing the terrain of the harbor and the safest ways to enjoy it
- Locations of public restrooms and how to find them
- Remain aware of changing conditions including wind and currents
In the coming months, the Harbor Department hopes to produce additional videos focused on basic safety for all harbor users, the locations of public restrooms, and efforts to improve water quality and wildlife in the harbor.
Thank you, Harbormaster Paul Blank
If you’re wondering how the innovative Newport Bay Trash Interceptor operates, this video is for you! See how the device collects trash and debris from the San Diego Creek before it can pollute the Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve, harbor and beaches.

The long-awaited dredging project for lower Newport Harbor will move forward, following recent approval by the Newport Beach City Council and Port of Long Beach to use dredged sediment for a pier fill project at the port.
This arrangement is similar to Newport Beach’s previous projects in 2011 and 2012, when dredged sediment from Newport Harbor that was unsuitable for open ocean disposal was transported to Long Beach for the Middle Harbor Redevelopment Project.
