The CARB personnel need to take a step back and really examine if
these drastic measures are necessary to the extent they are being
pushed. 

Heck, the amount of particulates put out by the entire charter
fishing fleet pales in comparison to what mother natures throws
into the air in a single medium sized wildfire.

Now here is an idea for CARB to think about...
What about the tens of thousands of PRIVATE jets in operation in
and through the skies of California? Again, those jets alone FAR
OUTSTRIP the entire fishing fleet as far as particulates are
concerned. A VAST MAJORITY if not all  of those people commuting by
private jet could easily book a first class ticket - for the entire
first class section to boot as they would be financially ahead by
doing that, instead of using a private jet.

How about you go after them and charge a fee for each length of the
flight, taxi time, and number of take-offs in CA. etc  - those fees
could at first be utilized to offset the cost of upfitting engines
or replacing the charter fleet engines & boats. That would solve
two problems at the same time!

Please, many kids and veteran recovery groups use the charter
fishing fleet to help them. I myself have been helped emotionally
once I started fishing out in the ocean at age 63. Surely there can
be some negotiations and work things out for the betterment of
everyone.

thanks for your time,
