CH. 64 OCEAN SHORES: TERRITORY B EACH AREAS

acquire ownership of or interests in any such ocean shore if it is

unregistered and frequent and uninterrupted use of the ocean shore by the

public has been legally sufficient to create rights and easements in the

public which are confirmed and vested pursuant to § 64106 of this Chapter;

and provided further that any interest in such ocean shore acquired by the

Governor which is less than full ownership thereof shall be sufficient to

permit the Department of Parks and Recreation to administer the interest

acquired as a territory beach area. Such acquisition from private owners

shall either be by condemnation, exchange, or negotiated purchase, except

that the price for such negotiated purchases shall not exceed the most recent

appraised value of such property for real property taxes under Chapter 24 of

11 GCA, Finance & Taxation, and if by exchange with government-owned

property, only if the government-owned property to be exchanged has been

included in the inventory of government land, or amendments thereto,

provided under '13505.1 of the Government Code of Guam.
