New Jersey Legislature

“ The Legislature finds and declares that the ocean waters of the State constitute one of the State's most precious and ecologically delicate natural resources; that the preservation and enhancement of the ocean waters of the State is of paramount importance and is in the interest of the public health and safety; and that the direct discharge of industrial wastes into the ocean waters of the State imperils the ecological integrity of the marine environment and presents a threat to the public health and safety. ”

“ The Commissioner of the Department of Labor shall establish a special program to provide job replacement and relocation assistance, and job retraining to any person who suffers a loss of employment as a direct result of the implementation of this act. ”
