"Shoreline protection legislation would be designed through extensive public consultation similar to the development of the Water Act. Some of the objectives for this legislation will be to:

● Guarantee and improve public access to beaches for all Islanders

● Tightly limit what activities are permitted in buffer zones

● Eliminate any grandfathering policies that allow developers to circumvent the normal rules

● Better protect delicate coastal ecosystems

● Account for increasing erosion and flood risk due to climate change and more severe storms

● Create public consultation and participation requirements for coastal developments

● Increase penalties for ignoring the rules and require those who do not follow the rules to undo the harm they cause at their own cost." — peigreens.ca backgrounder, 2023-03-14
