OceanWorks Development yesterday (16 July) sent a Notice of Claim to federal, state and local agencies and elected United States officials to gain exclusive rights to virtually the entire Southern California Bight for the purpose of developing, building and operating an international airport. The company said this claim was submitted to the Department of the Interior, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Federal Aviation Administration, as well as more than a dozen other agencies. This reportedly begins the process to lay the legal foundation for the project.

OceanWorks currently plans to locate the airfield some 10 miles off the San Diego coastline.
