Environment The Monterey Peninsula
Chamber of Commerce recognizes that the
incredible sea and landscapes inherent in the
local geography are vital to the prosperity of
the business community. Monterey Peninsula is
blessed with a natural environment that
functions as a magnet drawing in hundreds of
millions of dollars in tourist spending
annually.
The Chamber therefore supports:
1. All reasonable efforts to protect and enhance
the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary,
including limiting of wastewater discharge by
cruise ships within the Sanctuary;
2. The importance of maintaining excellent air
quality in the region as a critical component of
the region’s economic life;
3. Reasonable measures to ensure that growth and
economic development are managed intelligently
so as not to come at the risk of Monterey’s
scenic natural environment.
