| Comment | Air emissions from vessels at berth in California ports are
composed of dangerous quantities of Particulates and Nitrogen
Oxides - each day and on an annual basis - that seriously affect
the air quality of nearby communities, especially children and
other vulnerable residents. The carbon dioxide emissions from
vessels at berth significantly contribute to climate impacts and
ocean acidification, negatively affecting marine life ecosystems
and our commercial aquaculture industry. The organization I
represent in these comments FULLY SUPPORTS ARB in finalizing the
statewide Proposed Control Measure for Ocean Going Vessels At
Berth.
Thank you for acting to protect public health and welfare in our
state.
