After nearly a three-year closure, Bay Area sport salmon fishing is back, and North Bay fishermen are celebrating a season already producing impressive catches.
Authorities say a body floated to shore after a boat that went out crabbing near Bodega Bay capsized. The Coast Guard has suspended its search for four missing boaters, but an 11-year-old survived with the help of a cooler.
For the second time in three days, crews are investigating a fatal boat capsizing in Bodega Bay, where authorities have said one person died and another was rescued.
The effort to save a 57-ton fishing boat that washed aground near Bodega Bay more than a week ago failed. The Aleutian Storm was ripped apart by ferocious waves, and now bits and pieces of the vessel are now littering the sand.
The Coast Guard says the 're-floating' mission is urgent before the boat becomes a pollution hazard from leaking fuel into the Sonoma coastline.
A unique ocean-going restoration effort is just getting underway along the Sonoma Coast and its goal is to rescue an underwater forest that's critical to marine life.
