Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Schedule 4 to the Coast Protection Act 1949 specifies waters which, for the purposes of Part I of the Act (coast protection), are not included in the expressions “sea” and “seashore”.
Under powers conferred by Schedule 4, these Regulations vary it so as to extend the area of Southampton Water, adjacent estuaries and the Lymington River covered by those expressions.
