                          Coastal Stewardship Day.     This measure would proclaim August 10, 2026, as Coastal Stewardship Day in California.     Digest Key
      Fiscal Committee:
       NO        Bill Text     WHEREAS, The California coast is integral to the state’s identity because of its natural beauty, economic impact, and recreational utility; and    WHEREAS, Generations of indigenous tribes in California have helped preserve, protect, and maintain much of California’s natural coastline; and    WHEREAS, According to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, California has approximately 3,427 miles of coastline; and    WHEREAS, California’s coastal counties are home to 68 percent of the state’s population; and    WHEREAS, California’s beaches bring millions of people from around the world each year to surf, kayak, fish, dive, or simply enjoy the scenery, contributing billions of dollars to California’s gross domestic product; and    WHEREAS, California’s mild climate and weather patterns are heavily influenced by the ocean, supporting some of the most productive agricultural areas in the United States; and    WHEREAS, On average, California’s commercial fishing industry generates more than $150,000,000 each year for fishers; and    WHEREAS, Coastal wetlands in California serve as nurseries for many ocean animals and provide critical habitats for numerous endangered and threatened species; and    WHEREAS, Forty-three species of marine mammals call California’s coast home; and    WHEREAS, More than 180 species of seabirds and shorebirds live or visit the California coast; and    WHEREAS, Many migratory animals, such as sharks, fish, turtles, and whales, stop along California’s coast; and    WHEREAS, California has lost 90 percent of its coastal wetlands; and    WHEREAS, California’s coastal wetlands protect communities from floods, improve water quality, and reduce the impacts of climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide; and    WHEREAS, Coastal communities have been hard hit by recurring storms, flooding, coastal erosion, and other natural disasters, highlighting the coast’s vulnerability to climate change; now, therefore, be it    Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate thereof concurring, That the Legislature proclaims August 10, 2026, as Coastal Stewardship Day in California, in recognition of the fundamental importance of the coast to California’s economy, communities, and identity, and in recognition of the need to protect, bolster, and conserve California’s coastline, residents, and habitats; and be it further    Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
