 areas in the Texas Gulf Coast Area, including the submerged lands of the state 

 seaward of the mean of lower low water marks in the Gulf of Mexico, and the 

 natural resources and the environmental natural beauty with which they are so

 and development of the state ; and 



Whereas, the people of the State of Texas have a primary interest in the 

 correction and prevention of irreparable damage to or unreasonable impairment 

 of the uses of the coastal waters of the state and inland waters of the state in 

 such estauaries and estuarine areas caused by drainage, waste water disposal, 

 industrial waste disposal, and all other activities that may contribute to the 

 contamination and pollution of such waters ; and 



Whereas the people of the State of Texas also have primary interests in the 

 value of such lands, islands, estuaries, and estuarine areas as public property for 

 production and marketing of oil and gas and under minerals and mineral re- 

 sources, for the production of living resources, for shell and other fisheries and
