Hello,

I am a committed environmentalist that bases my voting primarily on
candidates Integrity & stance on Climate Change. However, we as a
State & Country need to take a pragmatic yet rapid approach to how
we evolve industries to tackle climate change without destroying
them.

If CARB is intent on completely removing the Sport Fishing Fleets
existing vessels in short order, then I would say CARB needs to
make provisions for replacement fishing vessels of equal quality,
range, and capacity. Much like when the State takes over real
estate in eminent domain cases, the owners of that real estate must
be fairly compensated.

This would make sport fishing businesses whole and preserve a vital
part of the California economy and equally vital part of sport
recreation in California as well.

Whatever course of action is taken, it must preserve Sport Fishing
and fairly compensate the fleet in the quest for transition to
clean burning vessels.

Sincerely,

Pete Bilbrey
