S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 6314 2015-2016 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y March 20, 2015 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. ENGLEBRIGHT -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. COLTON, CYMBROWITZ -- read once and referred to the Committee on Envi- ronmental Conservation AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to establishing the marine life protection task force and providing for the powers and duties thereof THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Article 13 of the environmental conservation law is amended by adding a new title 9 to read as follows: TITLE 9 MARINE LIFE PROTECTION SECTION 13-0901. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. 13-0903. DEFINITIONS. 13-0905. MARINE LIFE PROTECTION TASK FORCE. 13-0907. TASK FORCE; POWERS AND DUTIES. 13-0909. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. S 13-0901. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. THE LEGISLATURE HEREBY FINDS THAT: 1. NEW YORK'S EXTRAORDINARY MARINE BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY IS A VITAL ASSET TO THE STATE AND NATION. THE DIVERSITY OF SPECIES AND ECOSYSTEMS FOUND IN THE STATE'S MARINE AND COASTAL DISTRICT IS IMPORTANT TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELL-BEING, ECOLOGICAL HEALTH, AND OCEAN-DEPENDENT INDUSTRY; 2. COASTAL DEVELOPMENT, WATER POLLUTION AND OTHER HUMAN ACTIVITIES THREATEN THE HEALTH OF MARINE HABITAT AND THE BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY FOUND IN NEW YORK'S MARINE AND COASTAL DISTRICT. NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND DEMANDS HAVE ENCOURAGED THE EXPANSION OF FISHING AND OTHER ACTIVITIES TO FORMER- LY INACCESSIBLE MARINE AREAS THAT ONCE RECHARGED NEARBY FISHERIES. AS A RESULT, ECOSYSTEMS THROUGHOUT THE STATE'S MARINE AND COASTAL DISTRICT ARE BEING ALTERED, OFTEN AT A RAPID RATE; 3. FISH AND OTHER SEA LIFE ARE SUSTAINABLE RESOURCES, AND FISHING IS AN IMPORTANT STATE ASSET. MARINE PROTECTED AREAS AND SOUND FISHERY MANAGEMENT ARE COMPLEMENTARY COMPONENTS OF A COMPREHENSIVE EFFORT TO SUSTAIN MARINE HABITATS AND FISHERIES;
