(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Protection of Wrecks (Designation No. 2) Order 1984 by redefining the centre of the restricted area designated by that Order in Poole Bay near Poole, Dorset.
The amendment is made in order to encompass the likely distribution of archaeological material which has recently been located and to afford the site better protection. No part of the restricted area lies above the high water mark of ordinary spring tides.
