• 'Ice house' proposed to supply fishing boats at Oceanside Harbor (sandiegouniontribune.com) — Oceanside Harbor officials are exploring a new "ice house" that would sell flaked ice directly at the docks, potentially saving commercial and sportfishing boats time and money. The proposal, now under study by the Harbor and Beaches Advisory Commission, would rely heavily on grant funding and could be scaled up or removed depending on demand from Oceanside's fishing and boating community.
