Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009

806.This section amends Part 7 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 in order to clarify the area over which the Countryside Council for Wales may exercise its functions. The effect of section 313(2) is to amend the 1990 Act in order to clarify that CCW’s functions are, except where otherwise expressly provided, exercisable in relation to Wales only. “Wales” is defined by reference to the definition of “Wales” in the Government of Wales Act 2006. This means that CCW’s functions are exercisable in the sea adjacent to Wales up to 12 nautical miles from the baseline.
