The Coast Protection (Variation of Excluded Waters) Regulations 1997

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”.

These Regulations vary Schedule 4 so as to extend the part of the River Esk (Yorkshire) which is included in those expressions.
