After years of dictating where and when we can sail to provide entertainment for our customers through fisheries management, they are now in the process of creating rules to govern how fast we can go at sea. NOAA is engaged in an all new and fresh “Save the Whales” initiative, which in their own words, and according to their own data would cause a 25.6% loss in revenues for passenger carrying vessels, with no plan to compensate any effected business for an estimated 46 million dollars in losses. These losses will devastate local business, not to mention slow the delivery of cargo and commercial goods into our ports.
We ask that you assist us in providing public comment and feedback to NOAA before the September 30th deadline.
To leave a public comment they make it much harder to access. You must go this page https://www.regulations.gov/and search for NOAA-NMFS-2022-0022
Once located scroll down to the proposed rule.

I submitted a comment on NOAA but let's see if they post it on their website. Currently being reviewed but I would be surprised if they posted it as it is not politically correct
