growth and degrade the
community. chemical compounds contained in non-mineral sunscreen inhibit coralowt

integrity of our reefs. The purpose of this ordinance is to preserve the health, safety, and welfare of humans and the
environment, by allowing only mineral sunscreens to be provided, sold, offered for sale, or distributed in the County.
