A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT AUGUST 14, 2004, BE DESIGNATED NATIONAL MARINA DAY IN ORDER TO HONOR SOUTH CAROLINA'S MARINAS FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO MAKE CITIZENS, POLICY MAKERS, AND EMPLOYEES MORE AWARE OF THE OVERALL CONTRIBUTIONS OF MARINAS TO THEIR WELL-BEING.

Whereas, the citizens of South Carolina place a high value on our recreation time and our ability to access one of America's greatest nature 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 welcomed guests; and

Whereas, the Palmetto State'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 their communities and visitors to the great State of South Carolina a place where family and friends, united by a passion for the water, can come together for recreation, rest, and relaxation; and

Whereas, South Carolina's marinas will continue to provide an environment-friendly gateway to boating for the citizens and visitors to the Palmetto State for may years to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, request that August 14, 2004, be designated National Marina Day in order to honor South Carolina's marinas for their contributions to the community and to make citizens, policy makers, and employees more aware of the overall contributions of marinas to their well-being.
