DAY in Contra Costa County )
The State of California has a varied coastline of sandy beaches,
rocky shores, productive estuaries, marshes, tidal flats, urban
areas, and harbors. The natural resources of the coastal zone are
among California' s most important environmental and economic
resources. The marine environment is one of the most valuable
resources for recreation, tourism, fishing, and other coastal
industries.
Contra Costa County is strongly committed to the wise management of
the coastline to ensure that the environmental and economic value
of the coastal zone will be sustained. Preserving the productivity
and quality of coastal resources requires pubic awareness, support,,
and an understanding that protection of the coast is a responsibil-
ity shared by individual citizens, the business community, and
public institutions.
Californians are now adopting beaches year round through the
California Coastal Commission' s "Adopt-A-Beach" program, which is
sponsoring Coastweeks and the statewide cleanup day.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors
proclaims September 19 - October 12, 1992, as COASTWEEKS and
September 19 as "ADOPT-A-BEACH" COASTAL CLEANUP DAY in Contra Costa
County and urges citizens to participate in appropriate activities
designed to promote a healthy and productive coastal environment
for the benefit of the people of Contra Costa County, California,
and the Nation.
