Two general classifications shall be used: (1) Class "A" , in which the designated water areas are expected to be used primarily for recreational purposes, shellfish culture or the development of fish life. (2) Class "B" , in which the designated water areas are not expected to be used primarily for recreational purposes, shellfish culture or the development of fish life.
