Comment | 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 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. 2. Strengthen our voice by also sending us a copy of your message to: edc@environmentaldefensecenter.org. Our goal is to collect 50 letters of support by next Wednesday. Thanks for taking action to protect whales, to protect our clean air and to help make a difference in combating climate change. Kristi Birney Marine Conservation Analyst, EDC |
