I recently represented Ocean Conservancy at the National Working Waterfronts Network Conference in San Diego. As an engineer, former mariner and ocean conservationist I know that decarbonizing our ports requires cross-sector partnerships. Now is the time to turn conversations into action.

Ocean-going ships transport nearly three-quarters of the world’s cargo, but heavy-duty road vehicles contribute to the majority- 65% of emissions from freight. The emissions from these trucks, such as particulate matter & nitrogen oxides, can contribute to poor air quality in these communities.

Particulate matter harms lungs and hearts, while nitrogen oxide compounds contribute to ozone pollution and other health impacts. ← Previous Article: Seagrasses Turn Back the Clock on Ocean Acidification. Health: Transportation is a major cause of local air pollution, as well as climate change.

When I began working on shipping emissions, I was astonished to learn that more than 90% of global trade moves via ocean transport. As you read this, there could be more than 50,000 ships crossing the ocean or loading/unloading at ports around the world. appeared first on Ocean Conservancy. Read more from our new study here!

I also find it fascinating to learn about bigger, more powerful wind turbines that better harness wind energy on land and in the ocean. Sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) and nitrogen oxides (NO x ) emissions from power plants in USCA states fall 88 and 77 percent respectively by 2040, compared with 27 and 18 percent under current policies and plans.
