EXPLANATORY NOTE

Schedule 4 to the Coast Protection Act 1949 excludes certain waters for the purposes of the definitions of “sea” and “seashore” in the Act, but provides that the Schedule may be varied either by adding waters to it or by removing waters from it. These Regulations by varying paragraph 21 of the Schedule (which relates to the River Thames) remove certain waters from it.
