This Act amends section 5807 of 9 CMC so as to place restrictions on the launching of any boat or other watercraft and the entering upon beaches by any motor vehicle for purposes of protecting the environment and historic or tourist sites. In order to avoid environmental degradation through erosion and pollution caused by the motor trailers and other motor vehicles the Act allows only launching of boats from launch pads specifically designed for such use.
