| Comment | The regulations as drafted require technology that has not been developed or proven safe at sea, and consequently are economically and structurally impossible to comply with - requiring boats constructed of wood/fiberglass to be removed from service as soon as 2031. Historically, CARB has regulated commercial fishing/whale watching boats and commercial passenger boats the same way - their engines are technically identical. CARB's proposed regulations apply a double standard with commercial fishing boats subject to substantially less stringent and less costly requirements. CARB should return passenger boats to the same vessel category as commercial fishing boats so that we can continue to transition to lower emission engines as it is economically feasible. |
