(b) The Governor may at any time for the purposes aforesaid reclaim, enclose, and fill up such further Crown foreshore and sea bed as is contiguous to the said delineated limits and boundaries as he may deem expedient, so long as such further reclamation shall not extend beyond the limits delineated generally by the line in yellow upon the said plan and marked "limits of deviation."
