This section sets out the definition of "rehabilitate" with regard to maritime areas. It is relevant to section 2(3) of the Bill, with regard to the interpretation of the Act, which states on page 20:

A reference in this Act to a MAC includes— (a) the maritime usage the subject of the MAC,

(b) the conditions attached, or deemed to be attached, to the MAC by virtue of section 79, and

(c) the rehabilitation schedule within the meaning of Chapter 8 of Part 4.

This relates to the question I asked earlier about when conditions on rehabilitation relating to a MAC would be specified. In response, the Minister of State said that conditions with regard to rehabilitation specified as part of a MAC will not be specified. Perhaps I did not quite phrase it right. As per page 20, there could be a rehabilitation schedule as part of a MAC.
