Comment | Subject: Support for Voluntary Vessel Speed Reduction Initiative Hello, I am writing you to let you know that I support the “Voluntary Vessel Speed Reduction Initiative” for pollution reduction and whale protection benefits and asking that it be implemented and supported fully. The coast of California right off Los Angeles and Santa Barbara is home to a diversity of important whale species, including the colossal Blue Whale, and as things stand they are currently under great threat of death as ships speed through their feeding grounds. I am writing to support a plan that protects whales and respects shipping, as well. The District suggests using AB 32 auction funds to achieve voluntary ship speed reduction off the coast of California. And, organizations as diverse as Maersk shipping lines and Environmental Defense Fund SUPPORT this initiative. This is a great opportunity for us to save the lives of the whales that live here in our community as well as to reduce the emissions of a range of noxious pollutants and greenhouse gases as well as dramatically reducing the lethality of ship strikes on whales. Thank you, |
