(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Schedule 4 to the Coast Protection Act 1949 (“the Act”) specifies waters which, for the purposes of Part 1 of the Act (coast protection), are not included in the expressions “sea” and “seashore”. These Regulations vary Schedule 4 to the Act so as to extend the part of the River Teifi which is included in those expressions.
