Hello,
I am writing to protest the new regulations proposed for tourist
and sightseeing boats on the oceans of CA.  I am a regular
passenger on whale and bird watching boats, traveling out to sea
several times each year.  These trips on the ocean are essential
for my psychological health and well being.  Being on the ocean
calms my soul like nothing else on this planet.  By proposing these
new regulations on boat owners, by making them have to buy
expensive new engines and perhaps even new boats, you will put this
industry out of business.  This means that people like me with
emotional needs will be unable to go out on the ocean and will be
unable to achieve emotional balance in our lives.  You are putting
government and onerous and burdensome regulations first and people
second.  If you go through with this you will prove to the people
in this state that you care nothing about them, their livelihoods,
or their health.  It will show all you care about is controlling
the population with your draconian rules.  You care nothing about
the planet by proposing these rules.  People are essential to this
planet.  People should come first.  Start showing you care about
the people in your state by canceling these regulations and letting
boat owners continue with their livelihood and people like me
continue to get the emotional help we need by going on the ocean.
