By the California Air Resources Board's (CARB) own admission, the
proposed regulations will likely remove passenger boats made of
wood and fiberglass from service. This would apply to over 80% of
all boats! If boat owners can't afford to spend millions of dollars
for new metal boats --- or if people can't or won't pay twice as
much for boat tickets to pay for the new boats, then boat owners
will be forced out of business.  This also would mean that many
people will lose their jobs.

As boats go out of business, millions of Californians and tourists
will be denied access to the open sea and significant economic harm
will come to coastal communities that depend on outdoor tourismm. 
It  means a lot to many people and their families to be able to
harvest their own food from the ocean and to enjoy all the
splendors of the sea!

Please do not enact these new proposed regulations.
