There is no clear separation between private
property and public waterfront.
Where the back door faces the waterfront, there is no clear
dividing line between the private backyard and what should
be a public waterfront. The erection of a fence does not make
the demarcation clear and discourages life and activity along
the water's edge. In extreme cases, the public walkway along
the Hudson River has even been eliminated and the entire
waterfront claimed for private use.
