The Legislature hereby finds and declares that because of the shallowness and high rate of sedimentation of the San Francisco Bay, dredging is essential to establish and maintain navigational channels for maritime commerce, which contributes substantially to the local, regional, and state economies, as well as for military navigation, flood control, recreational boating, and other public purposes.
