The Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach will commemorate the 20th anniversary of the landmark Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP) with a special stakeholder meeting and harbor tour of the entire San Pedro Bay port complex aboard El Escudo, Harbor Breeze’s new zero-emission excursion vessel, on Wednesday Dec. 2 from 9:30 a.m. to noon, weather permitting.
First adopted in 2006 and last updated in 2017, the CAAP is a comprehensive strategy for accelerating progress toward a zero-emissions future, while protecting and strengthening the ports’ competitive position in the global economy.
Since 2005, port-related air pollution emissions in San Pedro Bay have dropped 90% for diesel particulate matter, 71% for nitrogen oxides, and 98% for sulfur oxides. Targets for reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) from port-related sources were introduced as part of the 2017 CAAP.
The document calls for the Ports to reduce GHG 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.
Boat tour attendees will meet at Banning’s Landing Community Center,100 E. Water St., Wilmington, CA 90744 no later than 9:15 a.m.
Due to limited capacity, interested parties must register here. Vessel loading and unloading is not wheelchair accessible at Banning’s Landing
