Is the witness concerned about that? For example, in Norway there is a specific greater level of protection for the foreshore area, covering 22 km. That country views the foreshore as requiring greater and more robust protection than what is further out. I have a concern, which seems to be reinforced by the witnesses, that the specific protection for the foreshore is not included in this Bill, which could be problematic in cases involving oil rigs on the foreshore, for example.
