Dear Chair Randolph and Members of the Board, 

I live in Ventura. Our beaches are affected by the air pollution in
the two harbors. I was shocked to read that harbor boats are one of
the top three cancer risks for Californians living near CA ports.
Let's stop investing in diesel operated harbor boats! The
technology exists to transition to 100% clean fleets for the sake
of clean air and emissions reduction.

Please strengthen the Commercial Harbor Craft rule: 
1. Require a 100% zero-emissions transition for the majority of
harbor boats by 2035
2. Include tugboats and barges, which are excluded from the current
rule 
3. Allow the Board to revisit the rule as the zero-emissions boat
market evolves to ensure the regulation achieves maximum emission
reductions 
4. Increase funding for zero-emissions retrofits to spur innovation

5. Fund ZE boat pilot training.
