States that "Pebbles constitute a natural sea-defence, breaking the formation of big waves. If this breaking is obstructed and waves keep building up to their full force, there is a danger of serious floods, which can cause damages of millions to coastal areas."
And this also applies to taking sand from the beach which means technically when you bring sand back home on your feet you are breaking the law! surprising really how petty some laws are in the UK.
"Rediculous".
Councils are concerned about the issue as rocks and pebbles act as a natural sea defence, reducing the rate of coastal erosion. Removing stones from beaches is illegal under the Coast Protection Act 1949.
