As a California native for over 60 years, I've witnessed the
improvements to our environment first hand. I was competing in
swimming and water polo during the 70s when practices would be cut
short due to smog alerts. Where on good days there would be a
tickle in your lungs and a shallow cough all evening.

Those days are long gone. Improved management of air pollution can
be seen on a daily basis by every California resident. But every
industry is not contributing to air pollution equally. The small
number of watercraft in the sport fishing fleets are not causing
enough impact on our air quality to shut them down permanently. One
container ship from a foreign country without regulations will
discharge more pollutants than an entire harbor of fishing boats. 
If new regulations are proposed for new boats to be added to
fleets, that would be understandable.. 

Please allow our sport fishing fleets to continue to operate
without undue regulations or changes.
