Underwater Installation Application Form

Activities that extend seaward from the Mean High Water Mark over seabed that is Crown property — including Crown-owned canals in Governor’s Harbour, Lime Tree Bay, SafeHaven, and Snug Harbour (Hyatt canal) — fall under the jurisdiction of Cabinet. For example, underwater installations such as undersea cables, pipelines, artificial reefs, or statues at or originating from the Mean High Water Mark require approval from Cabinet in the form of a Coastal Works Permit. The purpose of the permit is two-fold: it grants permission by Cabinet to utilise Crown property and thereby avoids trespass issues; and it satisfies section 21 of the National Conservation Act (2013).
