§ 4008 Wharf Landing Access Rights

• •The grant holder gets a right to keep the area clear.
• •The clear zone is 150 feet from the high‑water mark to navigable water on each side of the wharf.
• •The area can only be used for landing, loading, and unloading vessels, not for other purposes.

A fishing company owns a dock and wants to make sure the water and shore for 150 feet on each side stay free of obstacles so their boats can pull up and unload fish.

Because of this law, the company can keep that 150‑foot stretch clear of anything that would block the boats, but they can only use it for loading and unloading, not for building a store or parking cars.
