Subject | CHC2021 Save Our Boats |
Comment | To whom it may concern: I'm writing to express my opposition to the emissions standards you will be voting on soon that would result in pleasure boats, sport fishing boats and other water craft to be scrapped due to stricter emissions standards. Some of my fondest memories as a child were the days my father and I spent fishing. Now I have my own family and fear that if you pass these emissions regulations on boats that I will not be able to create the same memories for my family. It's not just mine, there are many other families that take to our local waters up and down our coast where they bond over fishing, fun and enjoying our local coastal treasure...Our ocean! Further, passing these emissions standards will limit boating only to those who can afford to scrap their boat and purchase a new one. This will eliminate most charter fishing boats, whale watching boats and probably harbor tours too! It will have a huge impact on tourism at our harbors. Some of the big draws to people getting out to the local harbors are fishing, whale watching, harbor tours, diving boats and other activities that involve boating. I'm asking all who will vote on the proposed emissions standards to PLEASE VOTE AGAINST THEM. Please consider the impact on our families, our businesses, marine and tourism industries. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Nick Modesti |
