Dear Ms. Nichols and California Air Pollution Control District
Board Members:
Large cargo ships traveling off our coast produce significant
greenhouse gas and toxic air emissions that impact my coastal
community.
More--ship strikes are an unacceptable 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 strongly 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.
