ARTICLE 15, SECTION 1
SECTION 1 HARBOR LINE COMMISSION AND RESTRAINT ON
DISPOSITION. The legislature shall provide for the appointment
of a commission whose duty it shall be to locate and establish
harbor lines in the navigable waters of all harbors, estuaries,
bays and inlets of this state, wherever such navigable waters lie
within or in front of the corporate limits of any city, or within
one mile thereof on either side. Any harbor line so located or
established may thereafter be changed, relocated or reestablished
by the commission pursuant to such provision as may be made
therefor by the legislature. The state shall never give, sell or
lease to any private person, corporation, or association any
rights whatever in the waters beyond such harbor lines, nor shall
any of the area lying between any harbor line and the line of
ordinary high water, and within not less than fifty feet nor more
than two thousand feet of such harbor line (as the commission
shall determine) be sold or granted by the state, nor its rights
to control the same relinquished, but such area shall be forever
reserved for landings, wharves, streets, and other conveniences
of navigation and commerce. [AMENDMENT 15, 1931 § 1. Approved
