Good day,
I have sport fished my whole life and have had life long memories
fishing in California as well as making lifelong friends. Fishing
brings people together instead of tearing us apart. There have been
bad days on the water but the worst day fishing beats my best day
at work. I hope to bring my son and my grand kids fishing on a
charter boat one day able to enjoy everything we could offer them.
If there was an alternative to these engines all fishermen and
captains would be for it but they do not exist. Almost all
fishermen are environmentalist's and have seen first hand what
pollution has done to our ocean and at every chance we clean it up
such as helium balloons floating in the ocean. I can only pray that
your council re-thinks the future of our fishing fleet for
Californians and all the tourism and capital that is brought in
from out of state. Not to mention all the hard working individuals
from reel/ rod mfg., fish processors, tackle stores, ice vendors
even, & everyone else effected by the shut down. 
Thank you.
