The Legislature finds that the ocean shore is a vital part of the patrimony of the people of Guam and is a major source of recreation and livelihood; that extensive areas of ocean shore are inaccessible to the public due to the absence of public rights-of-way; that structures and other obstructions have blocked public access through traditional rights-of-way; and that the absence of public access to ocean shores constitutes an infringement upon the fundamental right of free movement in public space and access to and use of coastal recreational areas. The purpose of this Chapter is to guarantee the right of public access to the ocean shore and to provide for the maintenance of traditional rights-of-way and the acquisition of public rights-of-way to the ocean shore.
