| Subject | CHC2021 - Economic Analysis of Sportfishing/Whale Watching Boat Regulations |
| Comment | As the California Air Resources Board (CARB) is set to consider unprecedented harbor craft engine emission regulations that stand to remove 174 sportfishing and whale watching boats from the sea, the Sportfishing Association of California (SAC) has released economic analysis that undermines CARB's contention that it is economically feasible for boat owners to replace their vessels. The analysis also reveals unintended consequences for the state's economy, fishery and conservation programs and significant declines in fishing participation rates. Hardest hit would be low-income communities. |
