tidal waters

tidal waters
Waters in which the tide ebbs and flows. Chamberlain v Hemingway, 63 Conn 1, 27 A 239. Perhaps all salt waters. Water coming in from the sea because of the rising-tide. Waters which rise and fall with the tides of the sea. It is the rise and fall of the water, and not the proportion of salt water to fresh, that determines whether a particular portion of a stream is within tide water. Atty. Gen. v Woods, 108 Mass 436, 439.
