| Comment | Hello.
Please add my name as an opponent to the proposed regulations
outlined in CH 2021. The Sportfishing and whale watching industry
is a critical part of the California economy and way of life. Not
only does it provide an affordable means for the "average" person
to enjoy the ocean at a reasonable cost, but it is also the source
of jobs across multiple industries. The proposed regulations are
not scientific and tested and will certainly add costs to the point
of driving many boat owners out of business. This will drive the
cost of whale watching and Sportfishing through the roof and make
California even more geared toward the independently wealthy. The
average person will no longer have the means to afford these fun
trips.
I am a private boat owner but still see the value of this industry.
Thanks for reading.
Trevor Blackann
