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 strongly urge you to include 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,

Stacey Otte
