This refers to an easement of lands bordering the seas, gulfs, bays, or ports measured landward from the interior limit of the shoreline.

Coastal easement zones define a specific public-rights strip along the water, measured inward from the shoreline to establish how far inland those rights extend. The description here points to a zone whose boundary begins at the interior limit of the shoreline and runs inland, creating a defined easement along lands bordering seas, gulfs, bays, or ports. This kind of zone serves to balance private ownership with public access and safety, outlining where certain uses—such as salvage-related activities and navigation-related measures—are permitted without disturbing ownership beyond that limit. That’s why salvage zone fits best: it’s the coastal easement category described as extending landward from the shoreline’s interior edge. The other terms describe different coastal concepts (the shoreline itself is the water-land boundary, foreshoreland relates to land between high and low water marks, and a buffer zone is a general protective area) and do not match the specific inland-measured easement described here.
