La Ley de Protección y Uso Sostenible del Litoral: ¿un giro hacia lo desconocido?

Abstract

The Act 2/2013 of May 29th for the protection and sustainable use of the seacoast changes significantly Act 22/1998 of July 28th about coasts. The legislator justifies its approval as a way of acting against urban excesses, building confidence and more economic activity at the seacoast; although many of the measures introduced are of disputable practical application due to its technical and legal flaws. In this way, the Act for the protection and sustainable use of the seacoast does not meet its aim of building confidence and legal certainty, but it introduces a greater indetermination regarding some key issues of the legal regime for the coast provoking changes in the conception of the public shoreline domain and the legal regime of the coastal use. This article introduces the reform as a turn to the unbeknown due to the unpredictability of many of the established measures.
