This Chapter provides for a policy of coastal zone management and in particular safeguards public rights of access to the ocean shore (as defined in section 4). It is the purpose of this Chapter to forever preserve and maintain the sovereignty of the territory heretofore legally existing over the ocean shore of the territory so that the public may have the free and uninterrupted use thereof; to protect, settle and confirm the public rights to the use of the ocean shore acquired by public dedication, prescription, or otherwise and to authorize the reacquisition of the ocean shore where a portion thereof has been lost to private ownership. Section 8 places restrictions on alienation of the ocean shore by the Government or public agencies.
