Dear Ms. Nichols and California Air Pollution Control District
Board Members:

As an Associate Researcher for Protect Our Dolphins (POD), I have
great concern for the danger and harm that results from the large
cargo ships traveling off our coast which pose a threat to striking
whales and produce significant GHG and toxic air emissions that
impact our coastal communities.

Slowing down cargo ships meets multiple objectives in your Draft
Cap-and-Trade Investment Plan including:
-better protecting whales
-reducing GHG emissions and other air pollutants
-improving public health 

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. 

Sincerely,
Jennifer Stroh
