- The Crescent City Harbor District is optimistic that action by the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors next week will help fund repairs to the badly damaged H Dock. The supervisors will consider proclaiming the damage in the harbor an emergency, thus paving the way for the state of California to declare an emergency, potentially freeing up repair funds. Harbor officials believe the recent tsunami caused $1 million in damage to the facility. The harbor commissioners will meet to discuss the situation at 1 p.m. today in the district office on Citizens Dock Road.
