At the close of 187 1 the parks controlled by private parties in this basin numbered 724, and occupied a total area of 1450 acres; at the close of 1872 they were II 33 in number and occupied an area of 2625 acres; at the close of 1874 they numbered 1706, and covered an extent of 4310 acres, not counting the portion formerly included in the reserved zone but now given over for parking. The denomination " Reserved Zone " was applied to a considerable section of the basin, in which parks were proh...ibited in order to retain a com- mon fishing ground Y^^hich could be frequented by all. In view of the great increase in oyster culture at Arcachon,both to satisfy the claims of the old parkers, who complained that they were cramped for room, and to meet the new demands which were constantly in- creasing in number, the Minister of Marine decided, on January 28, 1 874, to open up the greater portion of the reserve zone to private industry. The remainder of this zone, positively withheld from private demands, comprises exclusively the natural beds of the basin with their immediate surroundings, which it is import- ant to protect against all intrusion, as the prosperity of the parks depended upon their preservation.
