Dear Ms. Nichols and Members of the California Air Resources
Board:

 

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. On behalf of
the Santa Barbara County Action Network, I 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.
