(b) Pollution, from both point and nonpoint sources, currently threatens many of the state’s commercial shellfish growing areas.
(c) In order to maintain the health, and encourage the expansion, of commercial shellfish harvesting within the state, it is necessary to protect the commercial shellfish growing areas from ongoing point and nonpoint sources of pollution.
