I'll bet this is a lot more complicated to implement than it sounds but I like the concept a lot. They also mention a right for small boats (that you can carry by hand) to access the shoreline. This will make sea kayaking a lot safer but I wonder if land owners will still attempt to run paddlers off the beaches. A step forward. I believe that the US has no such guarantee and if there is it's on a state-by-state basis.
