Subject | CHC2021 Save Our Boats |
Comment | I am writing today to please reconsider the proposal that Gavin Newsom's administration has proposed that would require new engines and technology that is not feasible from a safety, financial or operational standpoint. California Air Resources Board's (CARB) has acknowledged the proposed regulations will likely remove passenger boats made of wood and fiberglass from service. This would apply to over 80% of all boats! If boat owners can't afford to spend millions of dollars for new metal boats --- or you can't or won't pay twice as much for boat tickets to pay for the new boats, boat owners will be forced out of business.I grew up on the water in Southern California and have fished these Charters that would be affected for 45 years and still do several times a year as many others do as well, we are a tight group of fishermen that would have no other means to participate in a sport that we love! we gladly contribute our hard earned money to the Captains of these charters that provide a service not only to us that fish but to those that enjoy Whale watching and School outings that more than likely would be cut because the cost would not be faceable. I please ask that you would reconsider this proposal that would financially devastate many and take tourist money away from the community.Thank you |
