Update Nature Conservation Act 1917
In 1937 the nature conservation act was updated. The act provided a general public access to all beaches outside the urban areas and a general 100-m broad protection zone was introduced where all construction of buildings was forbidden.
A dune-protection zone further protected the West Coast of Jutland as a follow-up on the sand-erosion abatement act from 1792.
