California’s maritime system seeks the following key objectives to fulfill our role in the nation’s economy:
Full expenditure of Harbor Maintenance Tax receipts for their intended purpose which is critical for the maintenance of our shipping channels and waterways by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Funding for goods movement infrastructure through federal transportation programs to ports and harbors.
Implementation of policies designed for flexible management of the nation’s coastal resources.
Reliable.
