Please do not change the engine regulations on California whale
watching and sport fishing boats. I have enjoyed several trips for
whale watching and started ocean fishing a few years ago. I have
not gone since the pandemic and boats have limited numbers of
passengers increasing the cost of the trips. I miss these trips.
There is a charity that rents out a sport fishing boat and takes
people with disabilities out fishing. I doubt they would be able to
afford this if prices increase. If the new regulations go into
effect I and many others would not be able to afford the ticket
prices. Why target this small portion of boats and ships? The ocean
will not be accessible to many Californians and our tourists.
