           SUMMARY  :   Designates the week of September 8 through September 
          15, 2012, and the 2nd week of September every year thereafter, 
          as California Coastal Protection Week and urges all Californians 
          to observe that week as California Coastal Protection Week.   
          Specifically,  this resolution  makes the following legislative 
          findings:

          1)In 1972, California voters passed Proposition 20, which 
            enacted the California Coastal Zone Conservation Act of 1972 
            by a majority vote of 55.1%; and, Proposition 20 created the 
            California Coastal Commission as part of the state's first 
            coastal management program for the protection of significant 
            coastal resources and public access.

          2)Proposition 20 provided the framework for creating the 
            California Coastal Plan; and, the Legislature heeded many of 
            the recommendations in the plan by passing Senate Bill 1277 
            (Chapter 1330, Statutes of 1976), which enacted the California 
            Coastal Act of 1976.

          3)Since the passage of Proposition 20, the state has created 
            2,000 new public accessways; designated over 500 miles of the 
            California Coastal Trail; protected thousands of acres of 
            beaches, wetlands, woodlands, and dunes from inappropriate 
            development; and, prevented new offshore oil leasing in

                                                                  Page  2


            federal waters minimizing the risk of a catastrophic marine 
            oil spill.

          4)Since the passage of Proposition 20, the state has encouraged, 
            supported, and approved important public infrastructure and 
            energy facilities; and, appropriately sited and designed 
            commercial, residential and visitor-serving development within 
            the coastal zone, as evidenced by the $40 billion coastal 
            economy and the 100 million annual visitors.

          5)This year marks the 40th anniversary of the passage of 
            Proposition 20; and, Californians continue their ongoing 
            support for coastal protection through volunteer activities 
            including Coastal Cleanup Day, the largest all-volunteer 
            annual activity in the state.
