§ 4130 Harbor Definition Pacific Ocean

This law tells us what the word “Harbor” means for the rest of the chapter.

Key Takeaways

•“Harbor” includes any bay, inlet, or other sea arm with Pacific Ocean tides.
•If a water area is specifically excluded by Section 4049, it is not a harbor for this chapter.
•The definition is used to decide which other rules apply to that water area.

Example

A city wants to build a dock and says it’s in a “harbor.” The rule tells them that any bay, inlet, or sea arm where Pacific Ocean tides come in counts as a harbor, unless another rule (Section 4049) says it’s not.

Because the water area has Pacific tides, it is a harbor under this law, so the city must follow the harbor rules unless Section 4049 says otherwise.

“Harbor,” as used in this article, includes any bay, inlet, or other arm of the sea in which the tides of the Pacific Ocean ebb and flow, except such as are excluded from the application of this chapter by the provisions of Section 4049 of this code. (Added by Stats. 1945, Ch. 1500.)
