§ 13:19-23.
The Legislature finds and determines: a. The presence of debris, litter, floatable waste, and other refuse in the ocean
waters has an adverse impact on the quality of those waters and on sea mammals and
other marine life; b. Programs involving public participation can be an integral part of a Statewide
strategy to combat the deleterious effects of ocean pollution, and can contribute
to the goal of achieving a pollution free environment with the hope that in the future,
cleanups of this nature will no longer be required; c. “Adopt a beach” programs, which provide for citizen cleanups of beaches and shores
of debris, litter, floatable waste, and other refuse, have been enthusiastically received
in other states, and have proved useful in the continuing effort to remove potential
pollutants from ocean waters; and d. It is in the public interest and in furtherance of the general welfare of the people
of this State to establish an “Adopt a Beach” program in the Department of Environmental
Protection.
