A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH COMMENDING EDICT FOUNDATION FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF CALIFORNIA COASTLINE STUDY PLAN
WHEREAS , the marine environment of the California coastline
is a major factor affecting public health, the economy and other
aspects of the quality of life in California and the city of
Huntington Beach; and
The citizens of this "All American City" are vitally con-
cerned about the maintenance of our local coastline as a natural
resource for future generations ; and
There have been numerous scientific warnings of a continuing
reduction in the quality of marine life of our tidelands , beaches
and off-shore water; and
A growing percentage of our marine specimens have disappeared,
or developed abnormal characteristics affecting their value as
resources ; and
There is a need for increased scientific knowledge of in-
dustrial and civic effluents released off the California coast
and their relationship to deterioration of the environment ; and
The EDICT Foundation based in Huntington Beach, California
has developed plans for a California Coastline Study to system-
atically collect and organize scientific information utilizing
the technical and managerial skills of the aerospace industry as
a first step in reversing this undesirable trend; and
This study may also serve as a national demonstration model
of the social, economic and managerial aspects of conversion
from defense related research and development activities to
civilian research and development activities; and
President Nixon has called for increased federal funding of
civilian research and development activities relative to urban

and environmental ills in the cities of America;
