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 Cap-and-Trade money be directed to the
Vessel Speed Reduction Initiative. 
Please support this initiative to support the health of our
community and the safety of the whales.
Thank you.
