VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO HONOR SOUTH CAROLINA'S MARINAS FOR ALL THE BENEFITS THESE FRIENDLY GATEWAYS PROVIDE, AND RECOGNIZE AUGUST 13, 2005, AS "NATIONAL MARINA DAY" TO INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THE MANY GREAT CONTRIBUTIONS MARINAS MAKE TO OUR STATE.
Whereas, the citizens of South Carolina place a high value on recreation time and their ability to access one of America's greatest natural resources, its waterways; and
Whereas, in 1928, the word "marina" was used for the very first time by the National Association of Engine and Boat Manufacturers to define a recreational boating facility; and
Whereas, South Carolina is home to hundreds of recreational boating facilities that contribute substantially to their communities by providing a safe, reliable gateway to boating for members of the community and welcome guests; and
Whereas, South Carolina's marinas also serve as stewards of the environment, actively seeking to protect the surrounding waterways not only for the enjoyment of this generation, but for generations to come; and
Whereas, South Carolina's marinas also provide communities and visitors to the State of South Carolina a place where friends and families, united by a passion for the water, can come together for recreation, rest, and relaxation. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the Senate, by this resolution, honor South Carolina's marinas for all the benefits these friendly gateways provide, and recognize August 13, 2005, as "National Marina Day" to increase public awareness of the many great contributions marinas make to our State.
Be it further resolved that South Carolina join other states, and thousands of waterfront communities across the United States, in celebrating this day.
