industries; and
   WHEREAS, The State of California is strongly committed to
thoughtful management of the state's coastline to ensure that the
environmental and economic value of the coastal zone will be
sustained; and
   WHEREAS, Preserving the productivity and quality of coastal
resources requires public awareness, support, and an understanding
that protection of the coast is a responsibility shared by individual
citizens, the business community, and public institutions; and
   WHEREAS, The California Coastal Commission has been the primary
sponsor of Coastal Cleanup Day since 1985; and

   WHEREAS, Over 1.3 million Coastal Cleanup Day volunteers have
collected over 21,000,000 pounds (10,500 tons) of trash from
California's beaches, shoreline, creeks, estuaries, and the ocean
floor over the last 30 years; and
   WHEREAS, The 31st annual Coastal Cleanup Day will be held on
September 19, 2015; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Legislature recognizes the 3rd Saturday
in September as Coastal Cleanup Day and encourages individual
citizens, businesses, groups, organizations, and public institutions
to observe Coastal Cleanup Day this year and every year, and to
participate in appropriate activities designed to promote a healthy
and productive coastal environment for the benefit of the people of
California and the nation, and hereby proclaims September 19, 2015,
