A Santa Barbara resident I support the reduction in cargo ship
speeds. Those ships traveling off our coast produce significant air
emissions that impact our coastal communities. Ship strikes also
pose a threat to whales that migrate through these waters. 

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.
