"Shoreline" means a line determined by the ordinary high water mark as defined in
the Shoreline Management Act of 1971, as follows:
"Ordinary high water mark" on all lakes, streams, and tidal water is that mark that
will be found by examining the bed and banks and ascertaining where the presence and
action of waters are so common and usual, and so long continued in all ordinary years,
as to mark upon the soil a character distinct from that of the abutting upland, in
respect to vegetation as that condition exists on the effective date of this chapter
or as it may naturally change thereafter: PROVIDED, that in any area where the ordinary
high water mark cannot be found, the ordinary high water mark adjoining saltwater
shall be the line of mean higher high tide and the ordinary high water mark adjoining
fresh water shall be the line of mean high water. (Or, as shown by markings of water
surface contaminants on rocks, bulkheads, pilings or other relatively permanent structure
or natural feature.)
