Maritime Transport Act 1994

Wreck of ships and aircraft - Dealing with wreck

106: Articles washed ashore to be delivered to Receiver

You could also call this:

"Found something on the beach? You must give it to the person in charge of wrecked things."

If you find something that has washed up on the shore, you must give it to the Receiver. The Receiver is the person who deals with things that have been wrecked. This rule is part of the Maritime Transport Act 1994, but it was repealed on 9 June 1999 by section 20(1)(e) of the Maritime Transport Amendment Act 1999.
