Dear Ms. Nichols and California Air Pollution Control District
Board Members:
Large cargo ships traveling off our coast produce significant GHG
and toxic air emissions that impact our coastal communities.
Ship strikes also pose a threat to whales. Slowing down cargo ships
meets multiple objectives in your Draft Cap-and-Trade Investment
Plan including: reducing GHG emissions and other air pollutants,
improving public health, and better protecting whales.
I support including vessel speed reduction in your Final Plan as a
priority for funding and request that Cap-and-Trade money be
directed to the Vessel Speed Reduction Initiative.
