(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order designates as a restricted area for the purposes of the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973 an area within a distance of 50 metres from the site of the wreck of the Iona II, off the island of Lundy, North Devon.

The area around the site was previously designated as a restricted area under the Protection of Wrecks (Designation No.2) Order 1989. The Protection of Wrecks (Designation) (England) (No.2) Order 2006, which was due to come into force on 7th June 2006, was intended to correct the position of the restricted area around the site. This Order corrects the position of the restricted area around the site more accurately and revokes the 1989 and 2006 Orders.
