Water quality will be safeguarded by actively taking steps to clean up and contain toxic wastes, and monitoring the level of usage of the aquifer and other water sources. We will immediately address the sewage seepage and overflow problems at the Agana Boat Basin and other areas, so that they can be safely used and enjoyed by swimmers, surfers, boaters and fishermen. We must take steps to minimize activities that cause damage to our reefs, as the reef is a precious asset underlying our quality of life and visitor enjoyment. A healthy environment, free of toxic wastes and other environmental damage, is fundamental for life. A tropical paradise is inconsistent with environmental damage.
Environmental concerns underlie the health of our people.
Senator Madeleine Z. Bordallo.
