Section 3 - Coastal Areas
Defined Section 3 – Coastal areas in Snowdonia National Park, the limit of each coastal area is recorded as a polygon. Section 3 of the Wildlife and Countryside (Amendment) Act 1985 placed a responsibility on each of the National Parks of England and Wales to prepare a map showing those areas of mountain, moor, heath, woodland, down, cliff or foreshore, the natural beauty of which the Authority considers it is particularly important to conserve. The map gives an overall impression of the distribution of coastal habitats which are considered particularly important to retain. The conservation and enhancement of the coastline is central to the National Park purposes. The boundary of Snowdonia National Park corresponds with the High Water Mark but for the purposes of this exercise all coastal and inter-tidal areas have been considered for inclusion of in the map whether they are within or immediately adjacent to the Park area.
