The Morro Bay Harbor Department

Eric Endersby

Harbor Director

Eric Endersby came from the airline industry to the Harbor Department as a part-time Reserve Harbor Patrol Officer in 1993.  He was chosen to be the Chief Harbor Patrol Officer in 1996, promoted to Harbor Operations Manager in 2007, and finally to Harbor Director in 2012 where he currently serves.  Eric is a 30-year county resident, having come to Cal Poly in the mid 1980’s and never leaving.  His wife of 19 years, Eliane, and their two children, Tess (15) and Owen (10), reside in Cayucos and partake in all things ocean, the outdoors and 4-wheel drive camping in remote areas.

Becka Kelly

Becka Kelly joined the Harbor Department in 2000 after a 6 year stint working on different boats as a marine biologist and commercial fishing in Morro Bay, Santa Cruz, Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico and Australia.  She has worked her way up the ladder from Reserve Harbor Patrol Officer and Junior Lifeguard Coordinator to Harbor Patrol Supervisor.  Becka’s love of the ocean, outdoors and helping people in the community she grew up in, makes this the perfect place to work.  She is also lucky to work alongside her husband, Mike, a Firefighter for Morro Bay Fire and while raising their children in this beautiful area.

Lori Stilts

Lori Stilts was first recruited by the Morro Bay Police Department in 2007, after spending a few years having a couple kids. Ready to get back to work and have adult conversation, Lori worked part-time as the Property and Evidence Technician for PD.  Shortly thereafter and desiring more hours, she took on a second part-time position in the Water Billing Department at City Hall.  It could be said that the Harbor Department stole Lori from PD and City Hall offering her more opportunity, or at least one full time job. Now working as the Harbor Department’s Business Coordinator, Lori’s main responsibly is to help the Harbor Director get through his day and on schedule. When not working for the City, Lori is a Team Member with The San Luis Obispo Sheriff’s Search and Rescue and drives her kids around to an abundance of 4H and sporting events.

Jeremiah Jacobs

Jeremiah Jacobs spent many of his early years as a lifeguard for various agencies around the county honing his nonexistent paddle board skills and futilely working on a base tan. He gained some recognition as a  sprinter for Cuesta aquatics and is a graduate of the Allan Hancock Fire Academy. Since joining the ranks of the Harbor Department, Jeremiah has proven his dedication by attempting to fix things he has no business touching and inflicting coworkers with his dry, sarcastic humor. Jeremiah considers himself extremely fortunate to be trusted in his role as Harbor Patrol Officer and is proud to serve the community of Morro Bay.

Dana Stein

Dana Stein has worked for the Harbor Patrol since age 16.  He grew up in Los Osos fishing on the bay and always being in and around the water and boats.  He is an avid mountain biker in his off time and competes in bike races around the area.  The worse the conditions get outside the more he likes it.

He consistently executes his duties in a professional and courteous manner. “I really enjoy helping the public with their boating needs and want them all to have a safe and rewarding experience” says Scott.

Marcos Green

Marcos has had an intimate relationship with the waters of the Central Coast almost as long as he can remember. Surfing, kayaking, fishing, and just frolicking in and on the ocean, have influenced his path in life to bring him to the Morro Bay Harbor Department. His job choices have all revolved around water, including a fourteen year stint as a custom bodyboard shaper, two years as a kayak guide out of the State Park Marina, and two and a half years as a kayak guide in the Seattle area.
