Résumé

The Ordinance provides for the protection of the coastline of the British Virgin Islands. No person shall remove any natural barrier against the sea or take away or dig any gravel, sand, stone, etc. except under authority of a permit granted by the Minister. At any rate no person shall remove any land if this results in inroads into land by the sea. The permit may be obtained by an application to be made according to section 5. The Minister may attach conditions to a permit. No digging shall take place at night. The Ordinance further prohibits the pollution of the foreshore (sect. 6) and prescribes offences and penalties (sects. 7 and 8). The Minister may delegate functions under this Ordinance to the Development Control Authority. (11 sections)
