It would be helpful to have clarify on this point. The 12 nautical miles is State-owned, is what I am hearing. Who owns the parts that are in our maritime territory beyond the foreshore, or what was the foreshore? It will not be the foreshore any more, which is another point. There will not be a foreshore after the Foreshore Act goes and the 12 nautical mile zone, or 22 km zone, is gone. What area are we talking about?
