Hello,
Let me start by stating "I am in agreeance with our air quality!" I
am one of the only woman owned businesses in the Sportfishing
industry. I own The Black Pearl Sportfishing vessel. It is my now
my only means of support. I am an educated woman who loves
California and have been a resident my whole life. I have been a
nurse most of my adult life and have fished since I have been a
child. My best memories have been with my dad and grandfather while
they took me fishing. We take many families fishing throughout the
year and create many more good memories for many families. I am
most happy to comply with the emissions program. My vessel is 65'
and will not hold tier 4 motors. I  have tier 3 at this time and
will be happy to comply to tier 4 when they can be implemented to
this size vessel. My USCG ratings are impeccable. I do appreciate
what your program is trying to do and agree that some vessels are
big polluters. Change is necessary. Please, just come up with
something that works and I will be happy to comply. I have 5
children and am not rich. I must be able to afford to upgrade the
motors. I do not have 4.5 million to buy a new boat. Please work
with us. 
Thank you for your time,
Lisa Cox
