Once again CARB and "radical Environmentalists are overreaching and
attempting to take away another aspect of life unique to 
California. Sportfishing is enjoyed by many families. While already
somewhat expensive, the proposed amendments of chc2021 will all but
eliminate the average person's ability to afford a day or two on a
charter boat. 

No doubt, if this is adopted, the vast majority of charter boat
companies and family-owned charters will be forced out of business
and only the wealthiest will be able to afford a day of fishing. I
personally go fishing with my sons aboard one of several charter
boats two to three times a year.

I too am concerned about the environment, but not at the expense of
limiting fishing opportunities for the average family and putting
charter operators out of business. Please rethink this and look
into other options to retro-fit current boat engines. 

In closing, I certainly hope that lobbyists for the companies
selling these proposed new engines are not involved. Your
thoughtful consideration is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Gerald White, SMSgt, USAF Retired
