Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to Mark 20 Years of Clean Air Action Plan on December 2 With Harbor Tour Aboard Zero-Emission Vessel
The Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, in Los Angeles County, California, announced on November 12 that they will commemorate the 20th anniversary of the landmark Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP) with a special stakeholder meeting and a harbor tour of the entire San Pedro Bay port complex on Wednesday, December 2, from 9:30 a.m. to noon, weather permitting. The tour will be aboard El Escudo, Harbor Breeze's new zero-emission excursion vessel.
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 in advance. Vessel loading and unloading is not wheelchair accessible at Banning's Landing and requires a small set of stairs; anyone unable to board at this location due to a physical ailment should indicate this via the registration form at least one week before the event to arrange alternate accommodations. Limited free parking is available at the Wilmington Waterfront Promenade parking lot next to the community center, and street parking is also available.
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. The 2017 update introduced greenhouse gas targets calling for port-related emissions to fall 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.
