Regarding the proposed amendments to the Commercial Harbor Craft
Regulations: These regulations are a direct threat to family
businesses and outdoor tourism, but to future access to offshore
fishing and marine life.
As boats are removed from the water, fishing participation rates
will decline and so will fishing license sales that fund critical
offshore and inland conservation and fishery programs - programs
that are essential to environmental sustainability and access to
plentiful fish.
Small boats and businesses will upgrade soon, but compelling so
rapid a change only will hurt the fishing participation rates.
