I support cleaner emissions, but this proposed regulation is
unreasonable.  I am a fisherman and USCG-certified captain of a
small sportfishing vessel based in Berkeley.  Bringing people out
sportfishing is my passion and livelihood.  I have worked as a
fisherman since I was a teenager and just bought the business this
year from my parents.  It is a tough business, made tougher by
COVID and the increasing challenges to the fisheries.  I have a
fiberglass boat that I have restored and maintained at great cost
and time so that it passes USCG inspection every year and is a
safe, clean, efficient passenger and fishing vessel.  We already
repowered to Tier 2 and are planning to go to Tier 3 in the next
year.  This proposed regulation would make my vessel obsolete and
force me out of business.  I don't have investors or access to
capital and can't afford the estimated $1.3 million that the Cal
Maritime report cites for me to replace my vessel.  For most of my
passengers, sportfishing vessels like mine are their only access to
saltwater sportfishing.  Being out in the ocean, 50 miles from the
shore, we need to have proven, reliable technology that works with
ocean-running vessels.  This proposed regulation calls for
dangerous experimentation that is unfeasible for small business
owners like me and puts peoples lives at risk.
