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

Large cargo ships traveling off our California coast produce
significant GHG and toxic air emissions that impact our coastal
communities.

These large cargo ships can also strike and kill migrating 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. 

It is important that we do as much as possible to protect whales
from human shipping activity.

It is important that we protect our clean air and to help make a
difference in combating climate change.

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.

Thank you for your time,

Diane Underhill
