The Bill (Reg. No.2642) is aimed at securing balanced use of sea coastal strip, protection of the environment, preservation of landscapes, natural, cultural and historical heritage.

 

The Bill defines the size and limits of the beach area of the sea coastal protection strips; extends the list of types of restricted economic activity within the limits of sea coastal protection strips, and regulates public access to the sea coast under the conditions of general water use. Thus, the Bill imposes a ban on construction of any buildings, except of hydraulic, hydrometric and linear facilities within the limits of a 100-meter beach area.

 

The Committee deems necessary to regulate the said issues, and believes that the Bill will promote preservation of the marine environment and adjacent sea area.
