Whoever in a designated area without the written consent of the Governor —
constructs, alters or improves any works on, under or over any part of the sea bed; or
removes any object or any material from any part of the sea bed,
so that obstruction or danger to navigation is caused or is likely to result, is guilty of an offence.
Applications made to the Governor for his consent under subsection (1) shall be supported by such plans and particulars as the Governor requires.
If the Governor is of the opinion that any operation in respect of which such application is made to him is likely to result in obstruction or danger to navigation he shall either refuse his consent or give his consent subject to such conditions as he may think fit having regard to the nature and extent of the obstruction or danger which appears to him would otherwise be caused or be likely to result.
The consent of the Governor under this section has validity during such period as is specified in such consent and any renewal of such consent.
